My vote is for a session on stacking for exposure and focus in LR. As well, sometimes landscape photography is like wildlife photography where we keep thinking we will find the animal "just over the next hill" rather than doing research, as you did, and hunkering down in one spot and waiting for things to develop. Thanks!

I really like to see the post processing of the exposure / focus stacking on the shot of the tree/lake/mountain @ 9:22. Thanks for the honest video Nigel ! Not everyone will admit there mistakes, but that's where we also learn a lot. ;)

Your cinematography got so good that I find myself watching these videos just for the relaxing effect. I do understand you have to setup the camera for every shot, even the ones where you are in the distance, all by yourself. You are doing an amazing job. I send these videos to my friends and my girlfriend just so they could look at the beautiful scenery. Just wanted to let you know that it pays off. :)

Always interested in seeing how you stack images Nigel , something I need to think about in the field and then have the confidence to process back home

What happened was completely understandable. The conditions were almost perfect for you, and you got excited. Your mind was focused on multiple amazing shots all at the same time, forgetting about how things can & will change from moment to moment. In other words, you got caught up in the moment. And to be honest, most of us would have done the same thing. But you still not only got some amazing shots, but you also were able to 'experience' them, and that's just as important. So don't be disappointed. Time has a way of sometimes repeating itself. BTW, that scene at about 7:44 (of the camera on the tripod out of focus in the foreground) for me is one of the shots I liked as well. Keep up the amazing work. We all appreciate it.

I tried to wake up early a few times to catch the fog. Mist.

I want to learn to photostsack. I also believe woodland is my biggest struggle. Unless there is a waterfall or foreground, I find woodland hard to find composition. Fog is always amazing. I love watching you grow man as a photographer. Your videos are so uplifting.

To be out on mornings like this are just a blessing!

I really appreciate that you not only include the shots you don't think quite work, but highlight what specifically you think don't work compositionally about them. I struggle with composition and I find seeing the what-not-to-do immensely helpful. Thanks for all the great content!

Love the drone view, your photos generally, your instructive comments, your enthusiasm and your honesty... and your engagement with Pebbles. Thank you.

It's so nice to see how much you enjoy your time in the field, whether you're getting the shots or not. The rich man is the one who is happy with his lot. And the wise man in you then learns from the experience. I'd like to see the focus and exposure stacking processing in LR. And Congrats on 250K Nigel.

I loved the shots you got Nigel, particularly the one with the fence in the water. You and Thomas Heaton are masters of what you do and I personally have learned so much from you. You also create incredible broadcast quality documentaries.

Yes, seeing your focus and exposure stacking procedures would be great. Thanks for asking!

Massive congrats Nigel on reaching 250k here on the tube. Always a joy to watch your films and see your fantastic photography. Here's to the next 250k, take care.

I did exactly the same at Rydal Water yesterday! Running around rather than sticking it out! Good to hear that even the best do this from time to time! Makes me feel better about it! Lol! Great video as always Nigel! All the best

Love your video Nigel. As a new photographer I can completely relate to your panic feeling. Patience is not my strong suit and it means so much to see that someone as talented as you makes mistakes also. Thanks for putting that out there.

Thanks for all you do. Your weekly video is a highlight of my Sunday. I am learning so much from you, as a hobbyist photographer it helps me alot. Don't be so hard on yourself, I really connect with the experience of learning through mistakes. Though your wonder and positivity encourages me to keep pushing myself. Thanks.

Nigel, love your work and your videos. I learn so much and really really enjoy them. Thanks so much.

Really enjoyed this weeks episode Nigel, the drone footage was great along with the b-roll in addition to the lovely images. Been brilliant being part of your channel for a long time and to see it grow and long may it continue

"The Aura of the Fog".... Loved it alot Sir Danson.. Take a bow 🙏

Hey Nigel, i absolutely love all your your videos. i've been shooting seriously now for only a few month but you've helped me tremendously. Just wanted to say thanks. cheers!

Great production values Nigel. Your short videos are, in themselves, works of art. And yes please, bring on the stacking lesson.

Your work is always good to watch! Thank you for taking your time made this amazing video mate! Keep smashing it 💯💪🏽

Always enjoy seeing your work and listening to your commentary, Keep doing and sharing what you do. Thanks,

You have only gone and done it. 250k subs. Congratulations. Your content is the best. Inspirational and honest. It's helped me to develop own skills as a photographer. Which I can't thank u enough for as it's been a rough year for us all. Keep it up and all the best for the future.

All the drone shots are amazing. I really enjoyed this video and yes, it would be really nice to learn to stack focus and exposure. Thank you for all your tips and advice. You really inspire me to continue to improve my landscape photography.

I appreciate everything you are teaching is Nigel. I look forward to more great lessons in the near future!

You still got stunning footage and images. The lakes are stunning and light/conditions constantly changing.

Brilliant Video Nigel, great to see a persistent Landscape photographer at work - superb

Love what you are doing. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing.

I'd love to see a focus stacking tutorial for a situation like that. It's one I find myself in all the time and I know there are millions of focus stacking videos out there but I think your calm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic approach would be brilliant! Thanks for the awesome content

Excellent video's Nigel, well presented and very informative. Nothing is predictable with the great UK weather wherever you are :) Great work and look forward to watching and catching up on many I have missed too, VWD

I’ve been feeling like I’ve been chasing recently, it really makes it hard to focus and be present. Thank you for sharing, its helpful and encouraging to know it’s not just me :)

Yes please, Nigel, regards your info on stacking images. Your videos are always interesting, whatever you do. I always look forward to watching them.

Always a pleasure...thanks Nigel. We are all human. See u next week😊🍂🍂🍂

8:39 I love this picture. So simple, but the colours are amazing. Good job!

Yes please to focus and exposure stacking! Love your work

Thanks for all your work, very inspiring Nigel!!

I love your drone work and the video compositions.

You earned my sub, it's clear how much effort you put in to these videos just after the first few scenes, keep it up.

Another great video! I appreciate you sharing the “less successful” shoots as well as the successful ones too. Honestly I don’t know how you record video, get the drone up, and shoot stills. Lastly, I’d love to see a video of your exposure blend with focus stacking process.

I really respect you sir for you contribution to the photographers. Too much to learn and still never enough. It inspires me to see your dedication to the camera. I hope I could be a good photographer someday. Thank you so much.

As always, another very informative video! Loved it, Nigel

What a magnificent location you share with us Nigel. Unfortunately here in Western Australia we don’t know what fog/ ice or snow is. Beautiful location you show us today is very special. Thank you. Neville.

Great video and great to see what works and what doesn't...congratulations on the viewers too. Well deserved. Great channel with great content!

I’m sitting in my conservatory watching your video the sun is bright outside interspersed with rain and I miss being in the Lake District and you took me right back to some of the best photography I’ve done looking forward to going back again it’s a long way from Norfolk keep up the good work Mick G

Amazing video Nigel! Yes, stacking sounds very interesting. Fabulous drone imagery. Thanks, always such good learning from your experience.

Sending congratulations a little early, you deserve every follower. You share your trials and tribulations as well as your images. Thanks!

Beautiful images as always Nigel.

Yes, please show us how you do focus and exposure stacking.

Very interesting Nigel, thanks for sharing. Yes, of course, I'm interested in exposure/focus Stacking

Thank you for sharing all your experience. It's wonderful. Would love to have a video on stacking.

Thanks again, Nigel. Yes, definitely interested in seeing your technique for stacking exposure and focus in Lightroom. Keep up the great work, we will all be with you well past the 250,000 milestone.

Hello Nigel, I completely understand your thinking pattern and how you feel about it! When I'm out in the morning (or another moment) trying to catch something that I thought would be there, but isn't, I also feel the need to move on and try to get a "better" image somewhere else - even if I didn't go to that other place before, which means I might not even have a "better" image in the end. At those moments I try to remember your advice and try to adapt to the circumstances. Thank you, Nigel, for another great video!

What a beautiful morning you had in the fog ✨🤩

Great video! I don't usually scramble to change locations....but I do oftentimes run around chasing compositions in a single location. It's not "slow down" relaxing, but getting into that flow state is still enjoyable. Like many others here, I'm definitely interested in seeing how that exposure+focus stacked image came to life in lightroom!

Thank you for your candor and honesty about going out and trying to chase the fog. I would like to see a video on how/when you choose go focus stack -vs- using hyperfocal distance focusing. And, how you process it in PS or LR. Thanks again.

Big fan of seeing the photos you weren't happy with, and the specifics as to why you didn't like them. Biggest learning tool for me personally.

I found your KZread vids during lockdown. I've never been a landscape photographer but I'm getting out there and doing a bit now. Thanks for the inspiration.

It's like you're somehow reading my mind recently. Just yesterday I was out for longer than usual and was considering a second location. But then I remembered what happened last time I tried it so I stayed put for the entire afternoon. It's definitely more rewarding to stick with one idea for a session I think.

Mega excited now.....the trees are changing .. bring it on ......love it love it love it

The stacking video would be great! :) thanks for taking us with you to this amazing place

I would love a video about your focus & exposure stacking technique!!! Lovely video, I so much appreciate the extra effort you put into every video!

Another beautiful video...and yes, I'd love to see your stacking technique especially for the exposure.

The stacking video? Yes please. Some great photos from that trip Nigel.

Good advice Nigel well it’s warming up here now so little chance of mist I do think it’s a great bonus for your images the reflected light in the mist too looks really interesting.

I’m a beginner and your videos help me so much! Thank you 😊

I learn a lot from your videos, especially if you talk about "failures" (which would be great shots for me) and why you prefer one composition over another. Also, the videos are just fun to watch: relaxing, inspiring. I wonder how you manage to take the drone footage and still focus on your photos.

Yep. Interested in your focus and exposure stacking workflow and techniques

I'd love to see the exposure and focus stacking process you use in LR! These videos are absolute gold!

Thank you Nigel. I need to get out more!

Yes please Nigel, more processing tips!

Awesome stuff my friend, Beautiful videography!

Thank you for another fantastic video with superb photos n fantastic advices! I have been learning so much with theese, thank you! Cheers, from Portugal!

Quite late today seeing this weeks video. Great as usual and I've shared it with my Group. Missed Pebbles, no fair. Got the new calendar a few days ago and love it. Stay well & stay healthy. Cheers from Florida, Rod

As usual it was so interesting to watch

A mistake I will make more than I’d care to admit patience and commitment are things I struggle with. Thanks for the video, a great discussion on this. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for yet again a stunning video and an honest story on what seemed to go wrong on that epic morning. I learn so much more from you telling what you would do differently next time! You probably don't realise but your words resonate in my head when I am in the field and will hopefully keep me next time from running around from one spot to another.... something I always seem to do :-).

Always enjoyable and informative. The cinematique b-roll was especially beautiful this time.

This was a great inspirational video Nigel and gave me lots ideas. Thank you :)

A great way to get going today your video and I received your great calendar yesterday thanks 😎

What a great relaxing video, I would really like to see how to stack both focus and exposure at the same time

Nigel where have you left the great friend of all viewers? It was another inspiring video. On to the next educational video. Thank you for your efforts.

J’ai adore. Merci ❤️

I really love the lake photos and I am sure you will get there again for the perfect fog. Great location... Ohhhh and yes I would love to see the stacking...

I've been following you for more than a year and watched previous videos too and I've gotta say your videography has improved a lot. Great editorial with cuts that make your footage look very neat. BTW my background is on film-making.

A great video as always. Pays to stay in one spot. It’s a mistake that is so easy to make

Always good to see how you post p your images Nigel. Looking forward to seeing the exposure/focus stacked tree image.

Lovely photos. Really makes me miss being able to go to the Lake District

Congratulations on the 250K

Beautiful photos.

Great video and thanks for sharing! Especially this one hits very close to home for me! When the conditions are good and you know a few good spots, we want to get them all but in the end, we get to miss them all. Just like me, for the next few months, you will have learned and stayed in one area. I found it very hard to stay put on those awesome conditions. I'm still working on that one! Great video and amazing shots.

I love the shot with the mist in front of Catbells and the rocks in the foreground...

Very inspirational stuff 🙌🏼

The shot at 11.28 with trees and mountains in the background is beautiful! With a little mist it would be epic

Thanks for this Nigel. Another excellent video and very different from the 'run of the mill'. Some practical and valuable learning points. Great!

Hello Nigel, I thoroughly enjoyed your still & drone photography which you are a master of! I always learn so much from you. You put the 'Fun into Fotography'. As I watch you I wish I was your best mate, so that I could go out also to enjoy and to learn. Have a Great Day Sir,

Very reassuring to hear that even great photographers like you also still make mistakes. I had wonderful misty conditions this morning but messed up almost all images because of some bad camera settings.. If you would make a video about focus and exposure stacking I would definitely like to watch that one!

I am terrible for chasing conditions! I so rarely get out in fantastic conditions. So when I do, I run around like a mad thing and always feel like I’ve missed out on the best composition (as you say, probably the one I had in mind in the first place!) Great video and advice as always 👍

hi from Dublin , really enjoy your content , you have inspired me , to take back up my life long hobbie , you have focused me on enjoying nature and the simple beauty that surrounds us everyday . love your photos , great work . stay safe
