"It doesn't get better than this... OMG it's getting better!" 😂
This was one of the BEST mornings I've ever photographed... I can't believe we got EXACTLY the conditions we wanted :D Can't wait to process my own photos and put the video together - it'll be EPIC!
These crossover videos between these friends always makes me appreciate the art of photography more. All these people are at the same place with the same conditions and they all shoot different pictures with their own stylistic flair. Makes me feel good when photographers aren't trying to capture the same shot as everyone else, but their own version of it instead.
8:54, it doesn't get better than this, never, oh my god it's getting better.
I'm really enjoying rewatching your earlier videos Nigel.
If not out and about doing a bit of landscape phototrickery myself, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a nice cup of coffee and a Nigel KZhead video. Part of our Sunday morning routine! 😊
Thanks Ken
Nigel your passion for the landscape and the light is on full display in this video. It's so inspiring to watch you having the time of your life!
Nigel, this video is a testament to your perseverance despite recently recovering from your health problems. Great photos.
Stunning images. Can’t wait to receive your calendar.
A gorgeous batch of photos! I really appreciate all the composition tips.
What gorgeous photography and scenery! I am beginning to think of planning a trip to this amazing place. Thanks Nigel!
Absolutely stunning conditions and images, Nigel!
WOW! So many great images, amazing.
Fabulous conditions and brilliant photos. It really does not get better than these.
Simply stunning!
My favourite was the image with Mads standing on the hillside
I love mornings like that! One great shot after another.
Everyone has their favorite photography KZhead channels. When I see Nigel Danson has a new video, I rush right over and watch. Always high quality content and great stories to go along too. Thanks for all that . . .
Thanks Gordon - really appreciate that
Fabulous images Nigel. Years of visiting the same places can lead to these rare rewards. Thanks for sharing.
It‘s just perfect Nigel
The excitement you have i can feel it 100%keep up
Wow this! Fantastic shots, truly wonderful work
My goodness those images are so magical!!!
The minimalist shot of the autumn trees surrounded on all sides by thick white fog is absolutely gorgeous
agree
I agree, what a superb shot!
That certainly was extra special, totally different and really memorable.
Some fabulous images. Thank you for sharing them and the process behind them. Cheers.
What a stunning morning. You have a whole calendar worth of portfolio images right there!
Great video with epic conditions. You certainly seem to be moving better and I hope your progress continues. It really is great to see you out and about again.
Very enjoyable video and gorgeous photos - thanks for sharing!
Amazing vid and images. Thanks Nigel!
Awesome set a prints. Great conditions you had
What a stunning conditions, James and Mads where so lucky to be there with you at this perfect moment!! The 1 meter print looks amazing!!!
What a beautiful morning you shared with us. The prints are stunning and I would have a hard time choosing a favorite one. Thanks for sharing.
What an EPIC morning you guys had & just some STUNNING photo's Nigel. Keep up the good work.
What a spectacular morning. Stunning images!
WOW - Simply extraordinary photos
Hey Nigel, great session out shooting and I really enjoyed the images you produced. Especially the last one, with just the trees and fog in it. Great abstract and very calm mood.
Great video & images Nigel, love to see people getting so passionate about light :-). Hope you enjoyed the remainder of your stay in Santorini it was lovely to bump into you & your family, Rich.
Beautiful inversion, lovely print…
Those prints will look even more beautiful when framed. Nice work.
Amazing shots in a great place! Thanks for the tips for using a long zooming lenses. I like the example in your video showing how many different composition from the same place.
Stunning - as you said "simply does not get better than this." Thanks again Nigel and great to see you out & about more & more - even if at a slower pace than Mads & James 🙂
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful morning. Love your images...i can only dream. Thanks again for all the hard work
Absolutely amazing!
Great photos! They deliver a feeling of tranquility and calmness, even though we are not there to experience it.
Keep up the good work Nigel 👍👍
Honestly - this is my favourite of your videos, and I LOVE your channel so that's saying a lot. Such a superb location, and the long lens style is my favourite style of landscape photography. Thank you!
Beautiful images Nigel. What a morning, you and your friends got to experience. I'd love to see a tour of your studio and hear you talk about the printers, papers, etc that you use to create your prints.
Absolutely stunning images. So inspiring. Signing up to the newsletter as I really would love one of those prints. Thank you for another amazing video. Loved the catchphrase followed by "it's getting better!" Gave me such a laugh.
Such an abundance of gorgeous shots! Pure photography! Thank you so much for posting this and all of your videos. That favorite shot of yours is a show stopper! I think the fall colors were perfect. Any brighter and they would have been competing instead of complimenting!
Well, Nigel, this light and the scenery brings you down to the knees because of its beauty. Absolutely amazing, as well as your fotos, thanks!
Great location, wonderful conditions and amazing images... Truly beautiful.
The great thing with the 100-400 besides being a stellar sharp zoom, allows points of interest in the image to be larger in the frame thus allowing much more detail where we want and need it! Wide angles have their uses but for me in landscapes less than many might imagine! Great stuff as always Nigel, thanks for sharing it with us! 👏👍
100-400mm is one of my favorite lenses. It's just so versatile. I honestly don't understand anyone that opts for a 70-200 as their tele option.
Bro this video is wonderful, it's so nice to see you back out there living life and living your passion. I hope your back is going good man. Great video, great shots.
What an amazing location and incredible images.
Glorious!
Fantastic shots! Great work!
Such a beautiful photos!
Your cloud inversion / foggy compositions in that valley on this outing were stunning. And when you get the right location to shoot from with long lenses you can get a plethora of compositions. You almost want to have a bunch of cameras capturing different compositions since the perfect light is so fleeting.
Hey Nigel! Thanks for the videos. Honestly the majority of my knowledge of photography comes from you and am always inspired by your work. Hope you're doing well.
What an amazing work!....
How lucky for you men who are able to be out & about in the wee morning of the day.Most of us women are a little afraid to be by ourselves anymore!😱
I've been following your channel for a long time and I think this is some of the most spectacular light you've ever captured.
Those definitely are epic conditions! It really is stunning !
Incredible images what a week in the lakes!
You’re doing well Nigel, just keep on going and you will get stronger and stronger.
Lovely. Makes me want to move closer to the mountains just to be able to do these types of spontanious trips. Would definitely add quality to life. Nice photo opportunities would be a bonus.
Wow! An ideal illustration of why one gets up in the dark to get in place for the morning light. Thanks for sharing the thrill of that morning experience.
WoW! your images are amazing! and your enthusiasm is more so. More please 😊
Thank you for this beautiful video and for your good advice.
Wow, such stunning conditions and photos! Otherworldly almost. Can't wait to watch the vids from James and Mads too.
awesome Video Nigel!!!
Awesome!! The challenge with these epic conditions is the rapidly changing fog and light and knowing you cannot possibly catch all the many great compositions. Synapse Collapse is my expression for days and scenes like this. Thank you all for sharing your wonder and appreciation of the beauty.
Ive been very curious about this lens, cant wait to watch this video. The 100-400 seems like such an amazing option.
Beautiful Nigel. Well done 👍
The 200mm 5 second portrait image is my favourite. Some really great shots Nigel 👍
That was such a joyous experience to share in, thanks so much
I can't even find the words to explain how Beautiful the location was! Your work is straight-up Fantastic, and a Huge Inspiration to keep improving my own! Thank You!
Beautiful Nigel!!! Just stunning ! Cheers from Texas.
Outstanding Nigel. Soooooo good 👍
To most of us just about every image would be portfolio worthy, I mean seriously, it really doesn’t get much better, after all you’ve been through Nigel, it really is so good.
Just incredible photos and footage 🙏
That opening drone footage.....dreamy.
Wonderfull shots in a crazy good location. As you said everything just came together the fog, the light hitting the tree tops, just fantastic. Love watching your channel, miss taking landscapes but I am more focused on Bird Photography with a bit of Macro and street photography due to where I live.
08:57 this frame also looks great for photo
Fantastic images - when everything comes together with the light, location, scene, fog, awesome. It is soo windy in Snowdonia right now!
What a super morning you had, glorious light and trees and mist! the 1m long print is gorgeous. Indeed, long lenses are a gem. I just got myself one lately and I start experimenting. It's not as straightforward as I though, I always feel that I need more in my field of view, but the process to go more simple in a composition (as exemplified by your photo with the asymmetrical tree, or the one with the tree tops in fog) is very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
At first I wasn't drawn to the photo with the white house when you displayed it in camera, but later, looking at the printed version I changed my mind. Also, I have started printing much more due to your enthusiasm. Thanks.
Very much enjoyed your show with Mads and James great entertainment plus different perspectives. Thanks Roger Mc
Great timing for me. Just got myself a 100-400 and it's so refreshing to tune my eye to detail and distant scenes. Michael Shainblums use of the 100-400 has been a big inspiration for me to get one. Thankfully canon offer a relatively cheap 100-400 for their full frame camera.
Epic conditions in a beautiful location! Just amazing!
I've been watching since your very first episode. May I say, while your photos were very good, you've stepped up your game in a big way over the last couple of years? I hope someday to improve my skills as you have clearly done. In fact, you've become one of my favourite landscape photographers over the last few years. I also love that you show your entire photo much faster than others do. I always want to see the entire composition immediately and not a corner of it. Lastly, I like the work you do to get to the point. I've grown a little tired of B-Roll on some channels. OK, I sound like a complainer. I'm not. Blessed KZhead and people like you give people like me the opportunity to watch content we love. THANK YOU, Nigel. This was a very special episode IMO. Will watch the other blokes, too, as I do. :)
Thanks so much Kelly! Really appreciate that
Always good to have a coffee and have five minutes to watch you working your magic
The Nikon Z 100-400 it's my favorite lens in my kit. It just pulls you in ... giving you access to details and small compositions within the scene unlike any standard zoom. It's amazing !
Getting used to the weight and handling of the 100-400mm, great to see it used so epically. Can't wait to go epic myself in an upcoming trip. Thanks for all you do Nigel.
Brilliant. I've just got back from the lakes today. I was also at the river brathay. Great looking lens.
Awesome photos, Nigel. So great to see you out there climbing and spending time with friends. Gives us hope that we're all slowly getting back to the things we've missed the last couple of years. I hope your back keeps getting stronger.
Thanks Jeff
another fantastic journey
This was so beautiful I had to cry …
