Love seeing where you travel and seeing through your eyes. Great tips for beginners like me! Thanks for teaching so well.

[@mickyelmb]

Great tutorial on how to setup a scene. Love the scenery too. I want to be able to travel and explore the world like that. You're life seems like such a joy to live.

[@buzzbladz7142]

As a Newish photographer who just purchased my first full-frame camera {D810}, I find your tutorials invaluable. Thank You Dave.

Love it man! I’ll be up that way in a few days! Looking forward to seeing the redwoods for the first time and doing some exploring!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Mike. It's so nice out there this time of year. Hopefully you get lucky with some fog & light rays. Out of this world if it lines up. Have a blast

[@brianbeattyphotography]

People definitely help for scale. The scene at 2:09 is a good example, but I still wouldn't have known how big the ice chunks were until you said it. Was that photo with a wide angle lens? I've found the wide angle perspectives make scale even more challenging.

[@DaveMorrow]

That photo was a 5 shot vertical pano with a 14mm. The size of that landscape is hard to show in a photo. Wild place!

[@brianbeattyphotography]

@@DaveMorrow wow - that's wild!

[@AugmentedRealityImages]

Yeah I gotta say it’s a great image, but the scale just isn’t conveyed by using the people at all. Those ice chunks look small and the cliff doesn’t look much bigger. I think on a scene like that, you’ve gotta go for a long focal length from further back, if the terrain allows. It looks like a tricky one to capture but maybe a more intimate framing might give off a sense of scale better? The wide is never going to capture that scale. Loving all the light rays through the fog though for sure. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@leemarkowitz4709]

@@AugmentedRealityImages Agreed. Some good tips overall but in that instance, the people actually throw off the perspective. Yeah, I do love the foggy shots with light rays too.

[@kylewolfe_]

Yeah I think it's a good tip but that was a poor example. It looks like one of those forced perspective images that intentionally try to make something look smaller than it actually is

[@OthmarE_moviemaster]

[@cwburns32]

Hi Dave! Been following along here for some time now, huge fan of the channel and all the wonderful content you provide!! I believe you have said previously that you mostly use center-weighted average metering mode as opposed to matrix metering. A lot of my friends who also shoot use matrix metering about 90% of the time in landscape shots but I noticed (or recall) you mentioned that you use center-weighted instead? Is there ever a time where you would change from matrix to center or vice versa? I understand when you would want to use spot metering (rare scenarios for me personally) but trying to better understand matrix vs center-weighted. Heading to Colorado in a few days for a little shooting trip and would love to get a better understanding before I leave. Currently working through your courses now!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks! Really glad to hear that. This video covers it. Never use Matrix. It guesses where the metering should come from in the comp. Always use center-weighted. It only uses the center so you results will be consistant. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHjZmYqbiM6Lm6M

[@brandonmjohnsonphotography]

Great tip! I love your videos. I am not sure it's a game changer. Scale definitely helps in the scene though.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Brandon. It's a game changer. I just verified with the experts;) Here's a bunch of photos using the technique if you're interested: photos.davemorrowphotography.com/Behind-The-Scenes

[@brandonmjohnsonphotography]

@@DaveMorrow I know you are. 😁 You're a good man and an excellent photographer.

[@keithdraycott]

Awesome - Another technique with Canon is to use an iPhone in your pocket or out of view of the camera and use that to trigger the shutter. I'm sure there are apps for other camera manufacturers.

[@DaveMorrow]

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

Great video, thank you. Just one little question though, where's the Ewoks?

[@alvinmorris5404]

Either they're carrying Han and Luke back to the village to be the "special" guests at feast or on the way to wipe out some empirial stormtroopers and armor 😀 lol just remember if you walk into the forest and you don't hear anything well...you've just wandered into an ambush 🤣

[@twomustangs]

Beautiful stuff. The image from around the 2 minute mark threw me off. At least on a computer monitor, the delineation between the cliff edge on the lower left and the water below is where depth is lost. To me, it looks as though they are standing on some rocks above a lake. A few feet above. The depth between the left-most person or his pack and the lake below is lost. Seems as though he could be at the edge of a small lake by stepping over a few rocks.

[@dcallan812]

[@kiwicutie770]

I would like to see the photos you took of you on the trail.. How did they turn out?

[@DaveMorrow]

Won't even look at them for another 6 months... backlog is pretty big at this point:) I find it better to let photos cool off anyway, then you'll know if you actually like them, or just liked the trip.

[@adnanraza1652]

You should tell, which camera & which mm lense you use.

[@DaveMorrow]

linked below the video:)

[@MacawAviculture]

What camera are you using in this video? I love the camera ability to take 5 second continuous shots and the method used to setup each photo was awesome!

[@jonny1031]

It looks like it might be a GoPro. That’s based on the fisheye curve of the edge of the clips. Also when he shows the camera settings you see the reflection of a small profile camera in hand.

[@MacawAviculture]

@@jonny1031 I was referring to the camera on the tripod.

[@DaveMorrow]

[@MatthewSaville]

@@MacawAviculture Nikon's latest cameras all have the ability to click multiple photos when you are doing the traditional 2-sec or 5-sec timer. It's a bit confusing at first, because the initial delay interval doesn't always match the interval between the subsequent shots, depending on which option you choose. But it's a great way to click 3+ photos in quick succession, instead of trying to nail just one shot on 10 or 20 second timer. Personally, however, I jsut got in the habit of using Nikon's built-in interval timer, because it is much more consistent. You are effectively just making a really short time-lapse LOL; set the interval timer for 3 seconds or something like that, and then just step into the scene and pose for 3 whole seconds for each pose you want; this way you can capture as many shots as you want, even step much further into the scene for a very different composition, etc. Of course after you do this you have a bunch of throw-away shots, but that's easy enough to do; I like to use the "protect" button to select my keeper shots so that when I go through and rapidly delete all the trash shots I don't accidentally delete a keeper. Hope this helps!

[@MacawAviculture]

@@MatthewSaville thank you for the response! What Nikon camera are you using? I have been using a Canon 1Dx Mk2 and I wish it had the interval timer setup!

[@FuyangLiu]

Can I ask what camera you used for taking the videos? It looked very stable while you walking, wandering how it is done 😬

[@MatthewSaville]

I believe he has one of the newer Gopros that has the really good stabilization, but I'm not sure which exact model he is currently using. I believe if you look through his video archive he may list exactly which gopro he has, however that video is old enough that it might be outdated now. I see that Dave has upgraded from his Nikon DSLR to a mirrorless Z7 or Z7 II as well.

[@p1pepper]

D850 to a Z7 ? Worth it and why ? Trying to decide what to go to from my D750 .

[@DaveMorrow]

Video quality for content & weight savings for backpacking. Otherwise not worth it. The 750 is great. Spend the money on trips to great locations instead.

[@phild3562]

Then850 is still one of the best for low light better than the z7. It is heavier but if you can handle it the 850 is still one of the best cameras

[@DaveMorrow]

Slightly better in low light from the data but I don't see the difference when editing. Personally, I'd take the Z7 any day..

Is that a Z6? What lens are you using?
