This ONE SETTING can MAKE or BREAK a photo | On location in IRELAND

Getting the correct shutter speed can make or break you photo. I am on location in Ireland and Northern Ireland to photograph some seascapes and make some mistakes and get some great shots. I also get the most epic light I have seen in a while.

    Nigel, as someone from Northern Ireland, I loved this VLOG. How you picked out unique, compelling compositions and images from a place where thousands have been before you was amazing, a true credit. To be honest, there was also a really emotional side at 16:30 mins where you take about the 'disaster', I could see in your eyes that something was not good, then you said how you were ill on this trip and had to cut it short. To be honest, Nigel, one of the things that makes you so distinctive is your humanity: 'it doesn't get better than this' exuberance; talking abut what went wrong and your 'fails' and all in between. Many thanks for all that you give to the photographic community. Hopefully, I can join you on one of your workshops.

    There's one thing you touch on, but don't underline: timing when to be there relative to the tide. When the tide is coming up, you can have these waves, when it is receding, and around the peak, there is less agitation in the water, at least into the coast line's direction.

    My arms hair just raised at 14:20. Man, what a view! I just felt like I was back the the Andes again, looking down at the bottom of the valley from almost 4km above. That feeling is outstanding, is inexplicably unsettling and powerful. Beautiful work, Nigel! ❤️ from Brazil

    Hi Nigel, I never youtube comment (well until now!) but just wanted to say how much your enthusiasm and excitement for photography come across, and was especially noticable in this vid. It had inspired me to look far more positively at weather/light conditions as chances to take photos. Thanks for your efforts, and brilliant vids. Also thanks for introducing me to James Popys - i'm really enjoying his channel too.

    I like taking seascapes and I found the subject on shutter speed interesting as I do tend to take long shutter speeds to get the effect I want. However, the next time I will try faster shutter speeds and try different compositions using waves as leading lines. Thanks Nigel.

    Hi Nigel - I don't know if you'll ever see this but I wanted to say thank you. Your videos, although certainly helpful for photography, have a greater message. You've shown us how beautiful the world can be when you look at it through your eyes. I play these videos in the background even when I'm not paying attention to them, they have such a calming effect.
