You must be the best photography teacher on KZbin at the moment!

[@AlexanderSogliero]

Agreed

[@Sami_8625]

Yeah. I just started 2 days ago and I'm already taking really good photos using his advice

[@LukaszFrankowski]

Still is 3 years after this comment was posted.

[@edwinscox]

Nigel, your comment about "There is no bad light" inspires me to look for the image that I CAN find in any light conditions. It takes away the excuse for not practicing that I sometimes use: "the light's no good."

[@Hangs4Fun]

Hands down my favorite teaching landscape photographer. Have improved more from Nigel than anyone else (not counting my own time behind the camera). Thank you Nigel for your sharing of techniques and teaching us some of the more elusive aspects of landscape photography such as composition and light... Have a great day!

[@mbaker9861]

Beautiful photos with different lighting conditions you presented. Those waiting hours were well worth it. Great video, Nigel! Your eyes tell much about your passion for “light”. Thank you.

[@jonnysmyth1011]

There is never a wasted minute when watching your vlogs Nigel in terms of quality, to the point, information, as well as just beautifully simple enthusiasm & passion for the subject. Outstandingly consistent week after week. You and Mike Browne are the shining lights of You Tube, head and and shoulders above the rest in terms of thoughtfully produced content delivering for viewers. Both Mike & yourself are natural teachers where I think other more famed vloggers are simply waffling on (Yes, you Thomas Heaton!)

[@dalerobinson8456]

Wow, this is a fantastic master level class on light and composition. Your example images are perfect to emphasize the narrative as well as very motivating. Thank you Nigel.

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks Dale

[@alsokennisan]

Great video as usual, Nigel. You cannot imagine how much inspirations you've been pouring into the photographic community worldwide with your great contents. Can never thank you enough.

[@barnsley1066]

As always, great care and attention to detail in your regular Sunday episode. I look forward to these every week.

[@joonakuosmanen4120]

watching ur videos every morning with big cup of coffee. I like them very much, ur style of speaking and explaining things is great, and of course ur photos are amazing! Keep it going!! cheers from Finland

[@ashish83333]

The best thing about light is Nigel capturing it and helping us learn.

[@alexreay4164]

Top tips and photos Nigel. I love how at 9am every Sunday you give us a great video and photos. It’s a Sunday treat 👍

[@badwolfforge]

I really appreciated these tips. I'm heading out to England in a week for a month long January photofest, can't wait to use these tips. My personal favorite is your last one: Right after the rain stops. I have found it's a great way to pep up morale too after hunkering down in a rainstorm to go out and grab those mist/fog shots. Haven't done a portrait yet, hope my friends want to be subjects! (or can I borrow the puppers?!)

[@maxmillion4216]

With the fall season fast approaching us. All good things to remember about light...!! Thank you for sharing Nigel.

[@lightwalker9879]

Thanks Nigel. You are always very inspiring and so down to earth. I watch your videos because they are very insightful but also from the heart. It is so amazing how they are put together unlike others that seem more about ego than imparting knowledge. Cannot wait for next Sunday.

[@TheRedrusso]

Nigel, your passion and teaching took my photography to a whole new level! God bless you my friend. This world its a better place because of people like you. You give it all and hlod nothing back. Blessings!!!

[@bevleaross8736]

lots of great tips and stunning captures LOVE LOVE LOVE the beautiful pebbles image

[@paulhambly1193]

Thanks Nigel found thar very helpful I’m amazed at how you see things that makes that composition

[@gilbertwalker6769]

Thanks Nigel for another splendid video! I continue to learn so much from your presentations. Your spirituality shines through your photos and your artistic process. Please keep it up!

[@coopscorner123]

Great advice on how to use the light that is there. And/Or... wait for it to move where you want it. I also understand more about the refraction of light, and its effects on what and how it illuminates it. Thanks for the lesson in using light to my images advantage in my photos. You'da man, Nigel. Keep the lessons/videos coming.

[@stuartlyall3671]

Thanks Nigel, another amazing tutorial. Love the examples of what looked like a great shot, then when the light changed made the shot absolutely outstanding. Keep up the good work.

[@ShakeelNaim]

I love watching your videos Nigel. Always educational and motivating.

[@anthonyplancherel8274]

Great stuff, excellent lessons on light with examples! Thank you Nigel!

[@nikolaytoshev5720]

Your videos helped me get so much better at capturing whatever. Thank you!

[@ibarrabenjamin1]

Wow! This is a master lecture about light, photography and your work. As usual, very inspiring. Thanks so much Nigel and when you have a chance teach us more about your dissertation, that sounds very interesting.

[@old4004]

An excellent video, Dr. Nigel........your points were well supported by the beautiful photos you presented with each one.

[@bwhite661]

Just discovered your channel yesterday. I love your enthusiasm and the joy of photography that comes out as you discuss your tips. It makes me excited to go out and take some shots. Thanks!

[@CASMANWHAT]

Love how you explained everything with an example right after. The flow of the vid was very good. learned a lot. thx!

[@ruitorre]

This is a serious photography video... Thank you very much!

[@yitzchallevi8208]

Excellent as always! We appreciate you so much!

[@kimlog7476]

Have to say for me, your channel and Andy Mumford's are my two favourite landscape photography channels. Simply well made, and an honest, but passionate delivery without going overboard. I'd say as a Scandinavian, a delivery you can really like. If you enjoyed the Faeros and Iceland, there is a lot more in the Nordic countries that you'll find interesting!

[@valk-photography]

Superb info Nigel !!! You manage to give us a ton of useful educational info every week and keep the motivation high despite the weather conditions !!!

[@paulus0109]

Thanks for the lessons again Nigel. I realy learn a lot.

[@onslowyoon7242]

Light in photograph is so fantastic! Love your photos and videos Thanks!

[@Jack-se2iz]

I’ve learned so much from you, catching up on all your videos! I found your vlogs about 4 months ago, and my skills have grown tremendously, because of your expertise. Thank you!!!

[@garryjohns351]

Great presentation, Nigel. It’s all about the light!

[@marek_vanco_photo]

Thanks you Nigel. I like light on your photos. You use it, especially in your miniatures of videos. Thanks for exploration in this video!

[@denisjeanson6037]

Thank you very much Nigel, you are an amazing photographer and teacher.

[@TheCallie52809]

Another excellent discussion, Nigel. Thanks.

[@AshleyKaye38]

THis was so helpful. You're such a great teacher. I will be watching your other videos.

[@pukurinepurrinechoco4178]

[@LeoDaly1]

Great video. I’ve hit a bit of a lull in my photography lately, but I think this has helped to get the creative juices flowing again. Thanks! 😀👍🇮🇪

[@parisbanquethalls2505]

Thanks, so much for inspiring us all. Love your work...

[@mahri233]

Thank you Nigel, very informative and helpful.

[@adamcurrie1157]

Great video Nigel. Really interesting. I love that misty/pale/pastely shot of the trees with reflection

[@bsmukler]

This was a great video! I love how you broke the types of light, shadow, and atmosphere into different sections. It’s that magic of changing light and shadow that attracted me to photography even as a child. Thank you for posting this!

[@natalie_arty7360]

Wow. I've just been so inspired!! Thank you 😊😊😊

[@levenscott645]

Always genuinely informative. Great advice from a wonderful photographer.

[@earavichandran]

[@anujasharma9677]

Excellent Content and presentation, Nigel.

[@thuthiha4047]

Amazing landscape photos! you are the great,

[@05halbe]

Another great video, thank you so much for putting all this effort in sharing your knowledge! 👍👍😀

[@rguil15]

Very helpful, thank you for making this.

[@claire7142]

Great information here Nigel, thank you. As a beginner it is always useful to be reminded to think about the composition as a whole ie all the elements of it, light being one. I can certainly be accused of rushing when taking photos (because I see so much I want to shoot!) and I am having to remind myself to slow down, take my time and contemplate the scene more carefully.

[@gregcorker2193]

Fantastic video. The excellent examples punctuate the important points you are making. I am a long time “snapshot taker”, who finally started a journey to understand what a real “photographer” is. Among other things, the best photographers are strongly aware of the impact (and ephemeral nature of) LIGHT. Now, as I drive around at various times of day, I am stunned at how different the features of my world can look. Things go.from mundane to magic (and back) in brief minutes or even less.

[@cronufc]

You're a great teacher. Really enjoying your channel!

[@josephstanski5180]

A GREAT video about Light - Thank you Nigel - Well done.

[@gavinperry]

I am going to have to watch this again and take notes. There was so much in this video it could have been a two part video - thank you as always :)

[@davidcontrerasm]

I can’t believe how good you are at explaining things. Great congrats 👏

[@MrLiamGood]

Interesting Nigel, plenty to think about and practice. Thank you.

[@ValerieHollifield]

Thanks Nigel for the best instructional video you have done ( in my opinion), .

[@littlebuffalorevival1754]

I'm so glad I discover you, NIgel! You've been so helpful as I have become completely obsessed with my new hobby. Thank you!

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks for the kind words Catherine and enjoy your new hobby it is the best!!!

[@Eti1968]

Great video Nigel, thanks for sharing.

[@recycleretirement80]

Your videos are outstanding and this one is the best thus far. Clear explanations and examples. This is a video I'll revisit often for reflection and motivation.

[@peterkolejak]

Another video full of usefull and interesting stuff, great work, thanks Nigel.

[@campstumpphotography7864]

As always very informative. Thanks!

[@sander5086]

An other great video with many helpful tips, to improve my photography!!!

[@danielmuscatell3603]

So helpful. Your perspective speaks to my intuitive side. And helps me think emotionally about my pictures.

[@russstentiford2252]

Thank you for the lessons on light. Great examples. Hope lockdown 3.0 isn't hurting to much. Keep up the great work Dr. Nigel👏

[@aprilurquhart9690]

Thank you Nigel, this is one of the best informed videos on photography that I've watched. When are you going to put your excellent advice into a book?

[@Senna8127]

One of the best vídeo about light in landscape I saw . Thank you Andy

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks Jose

[@francoisroberge3117]

The best, most informative, presentation about the observation of the forms of light shaping the perspective of a scene in landscape photos. It shows how much you thought about it. Thank you.

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks - appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it

[@Paul_Weedon]

this is one of the best photography videos I've seen. I will be watching this more than once, there is so much to learn here. Thank you.

[@NigelDanson]

Wow - kind words indeed. Thanks for the support

[@SuperMrmahendra]

@@NigelDanson you are much knowledgeable and passionate

[@davehayford4294]

Nigel......You never disappoint. Every video I watch I learn something or am reminded of something I had long forgotten. I will be 70 years old and started my photographic journey when I was 18 or 19 and still am learning. Again well done and Thanks for Sharing.

[@NigelDanson]

Wow - that is some experience! Thanks for watching and the kind words.

[@youthdj]

Very informative and great content! Great way to start my day in NY.

[@nlh835]

I’m glad I found you! Your tutorials are spot on. Now to achieve a remotely, compared to you, success. 😊

[@scotty4418]

Nigel found this to be very informative and as always seeing your images is a great way fo starting a Sunday morning. Can see why you printed the image of Pebbles as you have captured her pose beautifully and the lighting conditions were perfect for the image Was the image at 13:07 taken at Rydal Water as it looks like the area you took me to on the workshop and was a great spot to visit

[@NigelDanson]

Yes - in fact it was probably taken with you!

[@wafflefreetech7062]

Thanks for the great video, very helpful for a complete newbie beginner to photography. Just at the starting stages of trying to get my head around composition and lighting.

[@morty_dk]

Thank you Nigel, this was very well explained! Super good examples, especially because you also had the "boring" shots to compare with!! 😁👍👍👍
