Hi Andy, I really enjoyed this video. I like and will remember the “begin with the end in mind” approach to capturing the image with a view to what you will do with the post-processing. I’m thinking of heading to Tuscany in early October. Is this a good time to visit photographically in your opinion? A lot of photographers seem to recommend Spring or Summer. TIA.

06:11 It's not unbalanced due to the negative space It doesn't feel completely right due to the background being there, and at the same time not being there - it's too visible not to be there, and too obscured & foggy to really be part of the image

Terrific review. Thank you. Andy, can you say if the work you have shown are single exposures or multiple ones stacked etc? Thank you

Most people won't go to the same place over & over again to photograph it 😉

Excellent video Andy. Your comments on trying to see familiar locations from a different perspective reminds me a lot of Freeman Patterson's book Photography and the Art of Seeing. Taking the time (which is something I'm terrible at) to see a familiar location differently can be incredibly rewarding. Using your phone to quickly compose an image then deciding whether or not to unpack your serious camera is also fantastic advice. My phone has helped guide me to some shots that I was initially inclined to walk by because I wasn't inspired to unload my pack and get out my camera.

Hi andy! Love your videos. Just a question. What is the size of your magnetic filters? I noticed that they are bigger than the lens thread, is it because of vignetting? And how many filters you can stack using the 10mm? TIA 😊

Amazing stuff as always Andy!

My God, 3:59. If I ever shot anything that exquisite, I’d be tempted to chuck my gear on the assumption I’d never top it.

Are these panos available for purchase yet?

thanks , really useful!

Do you recommand the Viltrox 13mm when you already have the sigma 10-18mm - for image quality & aperture ? (1.4). Thanks !

Very inspiring! Fuji should implement the 65x24 format for XT5. I miss it so much & cannot afford the GFX lineup.

I agree with comments about the good bokeh and outstanding OIS. In fact, on my XT-3 I preferred this lens over the 16-55 f2.8. However, things changed with the X-T5 where it now seems outclassed by the -T5's 40 mp sensor, while the optics of the 16-55 f2.8 shine. All things considered -price; size; performance- I think this is a surprisingly good lens.

Very helpful insights as always. Thank you

Ahh thanks Andy I love the 65x24 your video is so helpful ❤

What an interesting and refreshing idea Andy, thank you for sharing, you've inspired me to mix up my composition, regardless of social media formats 😊

Superb! Going back to Lofoten again in January. Love the idea of looking at a scene in 16x7. I've tried that when shooting in 4x4 and it really works to help with composition. Also love the idea of empty space in pano shooting. Thanks!

So true - I live in The Cotswolds - you know dreamy chocolate boxy imagery at every turn - even more so when it's frosty or snowy - don't even bother to stop - take me out of the county - click magic!!!

How do I get that crop in EVF on my XT5

great advice and ideas Andy. and some beautiful images thank you 🙏

I have the GFX system and the different crop formats helps so much to visualise the end result. The 65x24 format is by far my favourite.

Big hug, buddy!

Excellent advice and analysis! The shot at 1:49 is incredibly beautiful and stunning!!

As always, beautiful shots! Unfortunately Fujifilm doesn't offer the panoramic crop for their x- series.

🔥🏆🔥 Inspirational ! Great ideas which I'll be using in the Himalayas again, this November

Amazing stuff Andy ❤

Wonderful! Who knew the smartphone was good for something… Pano compositions were simply enjoying to gaze at.

I got this lens with my XT4 years ago. I remember choosing it because the dealer said for the kit lens package, I could grab either the 18-55 variable aperture or the 16-80 fixed f4 to take and they wouldn't raise the price. Guess they had an abundance of 16-80s? I simply looked at the prices and went "Oh I'll take the more expensive one then!" Haha. I think at the time the 16-80 was maybe even more than $800? People HATED it back then! I had no idea what I was walking into with it. "It corners are unusable! Everything but the center is blurry!" etc. etc. Fast forward to 2024 when Fuji has routinely put this for sale for under $600 (used even around $300!) now everyone is absolutely loving the lens. Probably my favorite "set it and forget it" lens. I've used it on beaches, traveling, at conventions, at concerts, and more.

Very inspiring; The 65x24 crop on the GFX is my favorite aspect about that camera

Great video!

Really helpful advice here Andy, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. 🤗

Fantastic shots 👍👍👍. Thanks a lot Andy 🙏

Thanks for sharing Andy. Of course you can crop as panorama or take multiple images and stitch as panorama you have more resolution but I found photoshop struggles when stitching 2 rows of 16 phots at 61 megapixels each. For the non-professional photographers it is mainly slowing down and keep looking around to see potential shots. A location like Iceland certainly helps !

Thanks Andy, very inspiring.

Very interesting, i took a lot of panoramas but mainly in mountain peak to capture whole view. Church example at 5:22 I'm pretty sure i would take one landscape oriented photo. Really like this example with negative space.

Inspiring! Thank you.

Excellent and different advice as well as incredible images. I just commented on your IG about half an hour ago and then your video popped up on my KZbin recommendations before watching this video. I'll try and use these tips the next time I do landscape photography because since getting a camera, I've barely used the phone to take photos. Also, I might try and do a panorama of the Brecon Beacons while being back in Wales because it'll probably be perfect for it.

Great video as always Andy...thank you!

panaroma is cool for medium format, but the lack of wide angle and telephoto makes shoot ff even more

Amazing advice for aspiring landscape photographers like me. Thank you!

Your advice is so spot on. Thank you!!!

Great video 🙂👍

Hi Andy, always brilliant and so very well detailed. Thank You!

I don't understand when people say Fuji Xt is small. The body is almost the size of a full frame Sony body.

Can I use it on xt200

Hello. At 5:16, There was a colorful rock in the foreground and rocks were in the background. Was this a single photograph or 2 photographs put together in post processing? If it was a single shot that is quite a wide depth of field. Wow! Great Shot!

Excellent video, thanks. I have ordered one.

Nice video. As for....do you need FF high MP for landscapes over Fujifilm smaller sensor....I don't necessarily need FF (don't use anything more than 24 MP) but I prefer it when doing more critical professional work for agencies. In that respect, I usually shoot medium format film when I'm being REALLY nit-picky and just transfer to disc. I just love the Fujifilm system along side my Nikons. They make a great paring...added benefit of using Nikkor glass on the XT 2. I don't think I will ever change this paring and when I want to travel really light, I just carry the Fuji with 2 or 3 lenses. Thank you much for your videos. I must, that's...MUST get over to England and Scotland (my mother's ancestral home) and shoot tons of beautiful scenics. Keep up the good work. I'll look you up when I get there.

Fuji and Nikon make excellent cameras and lenses. I started shooting Nikon 35mm SLR cameras in the late 1960s. Over decades, I shot Nikon F, F2, F3, F4, EM, N70, and N2000 with an inventory of two-dozen Nikon manual focus prime lenses. In the digital age, I shot Fuji S5 Pro APS-C digital SLR with five Nikon auto focus zoom lenses and my inventory of prime lenses. More recently, I started using Fuji X-Pro2 APS-C digital mirrorless with five fast Fuji auto focus prime lenses and two fast Fuji auto focus zoom lenses.

hello, how did you organize your trip to the snowy highlands ? tks !
