Thought you made the best of some very challenging conditions. Mist by it's nature is ephemeral. There one minute and gone the next. Frustrating yes but you did get that shot of the gap through the trees which was nicely atmospheric. Your use of the 50mm in your recent videos has me reconsidering using my 50mm nikon more often. I usually use it for portraits and when I want shallow depth of field. Looks really sharp on your compositions. Admire your dedication sleeping in your car again. Brrrr! Too cold for me.

Another enjoyable video, Joris. All of the photos are splendid. Your channel has become my favorite photo vlog channel.

Dude I thought I was watching another million-subscriber photographer, when I saw this video had 95 views I thought my computer was broken. I am genuinely impressed by the quality of this video, your pictures, and your explanations.

Love those tree photos at the end

Weer een mooie video bedankt

I don't comment much but this made me want to go out of my comfort zone and finally take more photos!

👍👍IK HEB WEER GENOTEN VAN JOUW VIDEO. BEDANKT!!

could you try breathing close to the lens to try and create some "mist", if its cold out it might just be abstract enough to work... 😅

Mist is preeeeeety. Nice B-roll 😉

I’m 3 years late, Joris, but Yes, I like the final picture 😊.

As a bird photographer I also have to sleep in the car a lot. So I have several tricks by now: There is a sleeping bag by grützibag with a heating element powered by a powerbank called "the feet heater". You can pack a gas cooker and prepare a little hot water bottle wich helps a lot too. And the most important thing is isolation from the bottom. I don't know how you sleep in your car, but if you can do it, using a good sleeping pad that is made for cold weather is more imoortant than the sleeping bag itself. This forrest looks like the forrests at home do. So I felt quiet relaxed while waching this for breakfast (after a night in the car with freezing temperatures outside) Greetings from Germany.

Your photos demonstrate a skill level among the very best I've seen on any platform. Thanks for sharing not only the photos, but the thought process that led to such a high quality result.

New to your channel and I am catching up with some older episodes; but from what I've seen, you could not improve on your fantastic images with the newest, most expensive gear available. Thanks for reinforcing that it is the person behind the camera that makes the art. The camera on its own is just so much plastic, metal, and glass.

Thanks, very nice work.

Another cold night and early morning

Thanks Joris for the video, always interesting to follow you 👍🏻

BEDANKT JORIS VOOR DEZE MOOIE FOTO'S EN VOOR 2025 HEEL VEEL MEER👍

Prachtige video Joris. Prettige feestdagen en een gezond 2025 met vele nieuwe filmpjes 🥂

Beautiful images, Joris. I have recently obtained the Tokina 11-16 lens and am just now learning how best to use it. Thanks for your insight.

JORIS BEDANKT WEER VOOR DEZE VIDEO !!!!! 😀👍

Congrats on the new telephoto and still having kidneys 😁 Damn, i was doing it wrong. Im either shooting at f2.8 or f22… 😂 kidding aside, I default at f8 because it’s the sharpest aperture on my lenses, but sticking to it all the time as if it’s a rule is just silly. You can use bokeh / shallow depth of field as you say, or you can increase it to get slower shutter speeds for motion blur when needed. f16 or higher for sun stars. So many techniques used outside of f8. Experiment! 😁 Oh and Merry Christmas dude. Happy new year

Absolutely splendid images, Joris. Looking for a video where you show your approach to editing/post-processing.

Yep, still catching up on your past videos. Lovely images, especially the one deep into the trees. Enjoyed the personal insight as well. Guitar and photography - that’s me, too 😊. Been playing and shooting for many decades. Hmmm … I should be better than I am 😂.

F8 seems to be a standard, like an unwritten rule, i think I used to take one at multiple exposures to choose which I like best on the computer. Nothing worse than finding out at home that you missed the focus point. p.s "hill up" should be: up hill

Well done, Joris. There was an old saying I recall from my film days, “when in doubt, f8 at one sixtieth.” I also think it was Weegee who said the secret to successful accident and crime scene photography was “f8 and be there.” 😅

Well Joris your English sounds pretty good to me. Glad you got your telephoto replaced. Look forward to your next video. Merry Christmas.

It's all about where you want the focus of the photo to be. There are no rules. The conditions you are shooting in determine the best course of action. That is based on the light levels and the subject you are photographing. The F stop F8 mantra for landscape is a bit of an illusion. You can start at F8 and then experiment up and down the F stop scale. You might surprise yourself at which results in the best photograph.

Great video and explanations 🙂👍🍂

Weer een prachtige video. Prettige feestdagen, gezond 2025

Another good video. Glad the tele seems to be cooperating, at least a little bit. Its important to show the process when conditions are not ideal, as you have done here. When the light isnt behaving it forces you to “look smaller” to find interesting compositions. They dont always fall in your lap like the days when you have beautiful mountains, lakes, waterfalls, clouds and perfect lighting. Its a journey. Cheers!

I just recently discovered your channel and enjoy your videos very much. Your style, approach, enthusiasm and personality are engaging. Looking forward to more of your videos in 2025 😊.

Splendid images, Joris.

Excellent!

Thanks for your clear explanations. Your channel will pick up very fast.

Great video and photos!!

Hi Joris, Love the video. Totally agree with you regarding pushing yourself to take those steps out of the door even when you would rather stay indoors/in bed, or do not believe there is anything out there to take pictures of. I believe too many are only looking for 'full frame' images/landscapes, and totally ignore the multitude of small items/compositions that surround them, and that will often result in fantastic shots. Keep up the great work. Many thanks.

I’m amazed at your photography.. the d7200 sensor is a one of a kind..very nice..

Great video Joris! Could you tell me, which tripod are you using?

HOI JE BENT ER WEER!!!! WEER EEN PRACHTIGE VIDEO . BEDANKT HIERVOOR EN NATUURLIJK OOK JE UITLEG👍👍

Splendid images!

You got some superb long exposure / water shots there Joris. I recently picked up a Nikon 80-400 from MPB. Love it. Has barely been off my D7200 since.

Great shots Joris, that tripod is so versatile! I like the longer exposures too

Another great video dude. im inspired to go out now 😎and sing while i take photos for inspiration. 😂 RIP tele-lens, it’s served you well. Time to sell another kidney for a new better one.

These are all excellent compositions. Fantastic work. I suffer from "my area is boring"...I think its definitely time to get out and explore a little as this was very inspiring! Thanks for this!

Great Joris, I'm always happy to see a new video from you. And yes, you're right when you say you simply have to get out into nature more. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Prachtige foto's. Bedankt voor de uitleg wel spijtig dat u telelens stuk is. Grt
