BnW Fine Art Seascape Photography

[@DiceDime]

Thang you for the video and the passion that you show. This is amasing to see you while you take the photos with amasing technique. Thank you for your time and your expertise.

[@photoflooddays]

Hello and thank you so much for the nice comment :) I am very glad to know you enjoyed the video 😊

[@AndyBanner]

Gulls... They steal my chips, they laugh at me, they never stay still in long exposures and in next week's video, they shat on me. Oh, and I live on the cliffs 50ish yards from the North Sea. Love gulls. A nice video and I can see why it has really boosted your subs. Good stuff.

[@photoflooddays]

haha, I guess gulls are mean everywhere! Thank you for your kind comment! 😊

[@SteveKleinheider]

I especially like the mudflat shots! Well done!

[@photoflooddays]

Thank you for watching my video! I love the mudflat shots too 😊

[@kimcritchfield4203]

Really nice images and great video. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[@photoflooddays]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it :)

[@torstenwennberg4845]

Good shots! I like your casual, realistic style. You sound like me when I'm out shooting. I also use a simple long exposure calculator on my phone that really helps - 'LE Calculator' Thank you

[@photoflooddays]

@torstenwennberg4845 Thank you for watching the video! Yeah, I like keeping things casual and realistic haha. Someone already recommended me the app but sadly the app isn't available in Korea so I had to download something else. But thank you so much 😊

[@niltonolinto9581]

I also hate mosquitoes, but they are important to other animals such as bats, so..., great photos!

[@photoflooddays]

@niltonolinto9581 Yeah sadly, they are a big part of the ecosystem... thanks!

[@richardlynam2007]

Great video as always Arty, loved the shots at 11:13 and 14:04! Well done.. Nice!

[@photoflooddays]

@richardlynam2007 Thank you Richard! I really like those shots too :) I was lucky to shoot them!

[@richardlynam2007]

@@photoflooddays Nothing to do with luck, Just good shooting & editing!

oww thanks :)

I found your channel about a week ago and i must say, you’re doing an amazing job, your videos are not complicated and very calming. Keep it up like that :)

[@photoflooddays]

Thank you for your kind words! I'll do my best! :)

[@terryroth2855]

Very much enjoyed your video, Arty. The last two photos were my favorite.

[@photoflooddays]

Thank you very much for watching the video! I like the last two images as well :D

[@LeeAllen337]

Nice video. I even laughed a few times. And yes, seagulls can be annoying.

[@photoflooddays]

Glad you enjoyed! And yeah they were really annoying haha

I enjoyed the video and your photos!

Thank you very much!

[@georgeisenbarg8302]

Your funny. I liked your video. Seagulls are great on a beach when you have a lot of them and some bread to chuck up into the air, what a mess. The boat was awesome. The two net shots were very nice. I think you should have removed the seagulls in the second one but maybe should have done a exposure stack for the first one with a seagull flying from or to a post. Difficult to blend but possible??? The first one seems to have ambiguity with your leading lines. The eye stops between the leading logs and the net and gets distracted by the line that is tying the net in place... Liked the mud flats shots. You have a keen eye for B&W. How many black ball caps do you have...?

[@photoflooddays]

@georgeisenbarg8302 This is why I love photography. Everyone has different views, and there are so many things to share and learn! Thank you for your comment, I find your view very interesting! I own 3 black caps, all bear themed as I love polar bears; my totem. 😊

[@j.p.lacasse3689]

Love the image at 11:15 or so of the video. Want to get rid of seagulls in your shots? Bring something to feed them, they'll flock to the food and stay away from your shot (they love french fries!)

[@photoflooddays]

@j.p.lacasse3689 All these years of photoshopping them out! Why couldn't I think of that? That is brilliant! Thanks for the tip! And thank you for watching the video!

[@knitktv]

​@photoflooddays but you do realize that if you bring some snacks, then it's attached more seagulls, and nobody know, where they will standing 😅😅😅

[@photoflooddays]

@@knitktv That is true🤔

[@mdutton87]

damn seagulls, hahah, nice work bro

[@photoflooddays]

@mdutton87 Thank you! I knew I wasn't alone!

[@mdutton87]

@photoflooddays we have huge ones here in the UK. They will gobble a whole jumbo sausage down in one go!

[@photoflooddays]

@@mdutton87 I think I actually have encountered those gigantic seagulls in Liverpool. They seemed to enjoy pooping on my head, those buggers.🤣🤣🤣

[@haraldwarholm2396]

Nice video! 🙂

[@photoflooddays]

Thanks! 😊

[@Allen-tm8gu]

Thanks for the good video! Just like to ask, what the name of your cable release for the camera?

[@photoflooddays]

@Allen-tm8gu Thanks for watching! It's actually a DIY release haha I made it!

[@nereidndreu]

Great Work!

[@photoflooddays]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@vincentgrossi2112]

I was a little confused at first because there was no mention of an ND filter. However, i enjoyed this video and it definitely inspired me to do more long exposures.

[@photoflooddays]

Oh it's probably because I call my ND filters 'stoppers'. Good to know you enjoyed it! Thank you for the comment 😊

[@tim.poirier]

Great video! Love how the background fades into nothingness in the first image 🚣

[@photoflooddays]

glad you liked it! 😊

[@andrewwright9512]

Maybe bring some pilchards or other small fish scraps to feed the seagulls behind the camera or out of shot while you make your image?

[@photoflooddays]

Yeah, I thought about that too, but then it might actually attract even more seagulls. They are vicious little buggers 😈

[@TonyHogrefe]

NiSi has an app for your smartphone to calculate shutter speeds for various levels of neutral density.

[@photoflooddays]

@TonyHogrefe Oh really? I have been using a literal sheet of paper; cheat sheet 🤣 I guess I'm too old-fashioned. thank you so much for the tip!

[@peterosborne9802]

😂 no your not the only one who hates seagulls, it's like when you're doing a landscape shot everything is set then a man and his dog decides to walk into the scene and when there gone the lights changed and you've lost the shot. Ugghh 😂 good work though like your arty shots.

[@photoflooddays]

🤣🤣🤣 Aha! I knew I wasn't alone! Thank you hahaha

[@itcanbepictures]

Hi Arty, beautiful pictures. One question - where do you get your music from? Thanks. Sanjay

[@photoflooddays]

I get my music from YT itself ;)

[@itcanbepictures]

@@photoflooddays Thanks a lot!

[@nelsonclub7722]

You have mixed up some terminology - 'Minimalism' is a form of photography - usually containing one or two elements whereas 'Fine Art' is simply 'that which the artist visualises in their own style' - which clearly includes most if not all types and styles of photography

[@photoflooddays]

I am sorry but I am not sure where I mixed up. I know what they mean (but thanks for clearly explaining) and I am not sure where I mixed up?😅

[@nelsonclub7722]

@@photoflooddays I forgot to say your photographs are beautiful - it's a simple and easy mistake or mix up that many photographers make. Fine Art is the 'style' a photogpraher has - made real through your own individual 'photographs' - Minimalism is a 'form' of photography - so correctly put Fine Art is you - Minimalist is 'the picture''. Fine art can be accredited to any form of art, ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture etc. Minimalist is often accredited to photography, mostly black and white, where one or two elements are present and the image is usually uncluttered. So you are a Fine Art photographer with the 'expression' of minimalism or a 'style' of being a minimalist - and you are good at it too - so carry on

[@photoflooddays]

Ah, well, thank you! And my English is short, so I actually knew what these words meant but not in depth (as you kindly and wonderfully explained), I guess. I learnt something, thanks! So I know that I can call my photos fine art photos as my personal style; minimalism and long exposure make them fine art images(am I correct?), but I was wondering if you have found a mistake where I confused the two words or somehow mistakenly used🤣

[@nelsonclub7722]

@@photoflooddays in short yes you can. The 'mistake' or area of confusion was in the fact that you have said in the description 'fine art BnW landscapes' technically this is still correct however I would suggest an expansion of the terms - Fine Art Minimalism - or Minimalist Fine Art - both are good as you hit two different very esoteric areas of your photography at the same time Either way you win

[@photoflooddays]

@nelsonclub7722 Ohhh I see...! Thank you so much again for kindly explaining! I actually learnt something! 😊 And thank you so much for watching my video!
