Dont overthink your LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY, and keep it simple!

[@tonygaskins3190]

The usual enthralling 20 mins or so while you make such eloquent explanation of your goals for the particular shoot. Plus excellent images that a the result of carefully considered compositions. Thanks for sharing and all the best.

[@markwayne8502]

A beautifully crafted video and perfectly narrated, your content continues to inspire me each time. Thank you for showcasing this beautiful coastal treasure.🙏

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Wow, thank you. That's truly kind feedback. It's a special place indeed and I have much travel to do over the next 12 months, such as Korea, US again, Canada maybe, UK, maybe Iceland and Norway. ( I might have a new camera to test out! 😉)

Lovely peaceful video Ewan. Not an easy location for sure but you made it work. I liked the way the dunes folded into the distance while at the same time echoing the folding of the waves. A nice tidy flawless composition.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks Simon. Yeah sure was a lovely place... just not a photo destination. Never wore a watch the entire stay, as truly... time doesnt matter there. Liked the end results from what i had to play with indeed. Hope you are well and thanks for watching! = ) Speak soon - regards, Ewan

[@tonyhayes9827]

Another Dunsmuir classic. Ever since your Mt Doom vlog from NZ I new you were worth listening to. Today's no exception. Some vlogs are actually worth studying like a textbook

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

@@tonyhayes9827 many thanks indeed. That's a lovely thing to see. I try my hardest with everything that I do. The production side of these videos though, it's quite high intensity and take some time for each one. It's an interesting process shooting these, as it affirms inside your own headhow you approach a scene. Quite good for photo photographic growth. Kind regards Ewen and thanks for watching

[@thomasschwarze7288]

Hello Ewan, it's nice to see you again so soon. And once again a simple piece of wisdom: keep it simple! How often do I search hard for new motifs - when in fact they are almost always right under our noses... Thank you for this relaxing film and two wonderful photos! ...until next time...cheerio from the other side of the world!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks very much Thomas. Always nice to get your feedback mate! Regards, form NZ! Ewan

[@laurelb8372]

Absolutely beautiful work, so relaxing watching you compose and listening to your explanation. Lovely images, thank you for another great video 👌

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Many thanks indeed. Its a good opportunity to get inside my head, for short periods of time, at a time! LOL You are welcome = ) Kind regards, Ewan

[@garymaunder1399]

Beautiful images Ewan, appreciate the thought process and way you constructed the images. P.S Just subscribed mate....that was easy.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Gary. Thank you very much for the sub mate. I appreciate you having a look and coming along for the ride. Many thanks for your kind comments as well. Kind regards, Ewan

[@bobtommi2430]

When I see a vlog from Euan appear I know it’s time to grab a beer and drop everything, and the cares of the day disappear. You weave magic mate. Thank-you so much.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

LOL, thanks very much… And I hope it was beer o clock somewhere. That is a kind comment to leave. Thank you. Best wishes from New Zealand, Ewan

[@PMCN53]

I love seeing & listening to you talk about how you are thinking when you are composing your images. simple and peaceful shots. Thank you so much for sharing this experience. Cheers from Aus

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Phil, many thanks for popping along again. You are always welcome and I enjoyed doing this video. I think it was more in line with the videos I was doing, before I stopped for two years. Was happy with the end result. Take care mate. Regards, Ewan

[@marcstaples9930]

Beautiful shots and I agree, keeping it simple and not comparing with where you usually take the shots helps find new compositions. Just love these beach shots and the blurry shot of the marshes 👍👍👍👍

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Marc, hope you are well. It is hard coming from such a majestic place to photograph, as New Zealand… As I do often struggle sometimes when I am not in that environment. The shot of the Morus is backlit as well as sidelit, which accentuates the Orton effect that I put on it. I wanted it a little bit dreamy. Hope I haven't pushed it too far though. Kind regards from New Zealand. Ewan😊

[@10stopphotography]

Love the complexity of getting a simple image, great video as always.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks very much man. Yeah, was thinking about how complex a simple photo can be, let alone a complex one! Best wishes and hope you are well. Ewan

[@owenwilliams9582]

Cheers Ewan, really nice Panos. Most of the time, simplicity creates its own beauty. Thanks for making the vids, always a great watch.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Owen. Thanks man. Yep, completely agree and because I print large prints for homes and offices, they have to be soothing to the eye, and hence gentle colour spaces and content. I start with my output and work back the way , which governs how and when I shoot. Maybe back to front... I don't know. lol. Thanks again. Ewan

[@timbrown5304]

Loved that Ewan...thanks for taking the time to post.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Tim, you are welcome mate. Was pleased with the feel of this one. less frantic in some ways... but thats the chilled vibe of Ocracoke Island i guess! Thanks again. Regards, Ewan

[@sbutler66]

The first video of yours the KZbin algorithm has served me. Really enjoyed the pace and hearing your considered thoughts. Thanks for sharing, now to binge watch previous videos..

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Many thanks indeed and that is great news. Welcome aboard and you'll find that I have the same cadence in most of them. I'd be keen to hear your thoughts as the feedback is really important and is actually what keeps us going. These vids actually take ages but interaction with people like yourself makes it all worth while. Thanks again and stay well, wherever you are. Regards. Ewan.

[@gunsentry8349]

Nice very very nice images.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Many thanks. I'm glad they work in the eye. Sometimes simple is best. 😊. Regards Ewan.

[@bryanashford5118]

great video enjoyed this cant wait for more

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks Bryan. This one took ages in the editing suite to do. Ill try and get more done more regularly though! Kind regards, Ewan

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Ewan: This was a wonderful, peaceful video. I live in central Canada so getting seascapes for me if not possible. Sometimes on the great lakes we get some opportunities. I really appreciate how you explained looking at the clouds to anticipate what the final image could look like. Keep well . . . Keith (Barrie, Ontario)

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks very much Keith. Id love to do Canada at some point on one of my travels. Such a huge country. Though lake views are lovely... the lakes there are usually also massive which can look more like Oceans. Ill maybe do Yosemite and pop up to Canada in 2025. Thatd be awesome! Id need tips on where to go, or more importantly where NOT to go. LOL Taking cues form your surroundings are important, which is why im always looking 360 around me, making sure i miss nothing. Best wishes Keith. Ewan

[@keithpinn152]

@@EwanDunsmuirImages Hi Ewan: I have been fortunate to have been able to travel extensively within Canada from a photographic perspective. All of Canada is very beautiful but my personal 'must-see' locations would west coast of Canada. Specifically, the east side of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta which would include Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper. The areas are all part of our National Parks system. The best time to view these locations is late spring (May/June) followed by the fall (mid-September to early October). This area is simply too busy in the summer months. The next location would be the west side of the Rocky mountains in British Columbia.The best area on the true west coast is Vancouver Island (not the City of Vancouver) and the archipelago of the accompanying islands . Everywhere on Vancouver Island is a paradise of ancient large-growth trees similar to the West Coast of the US. It is a very peaceful are inspires amazing opportunities for creativity. To see more about both of these areas, you might to watch videos from KZbinrs Adam Gibbs and Gavin Hardcastle ( their older videos are the best). The East Coast of Canada is also amazing. Unfortunately, I haven't been to Newfoundland yet and this island would remind you of Scotland. If you need any more ideas please let me know. Cheers, Keith

[@keithlinforth4585]

Neat image of the beach Ewan!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks Keith Sometimes, less is more! Regards, Ewan

[@dieterschmidt2022]

great 🤗 thanks for Inspiration 🤝🤙

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks, and you are welcome! Kindest regards, from NZ Ewan

[@andrewsimpson5436]

Chillin like a villain, I need an escape to somewhere like that away from the stress of NE Caithness 🤣 That rattlesnake creek was bonnie but aw to have a beach, that wins. Mind you I'm no impressed with picking up the camera when half an inch O water is coming at you, if you don't get your feet wet on a beach you're not trying hard enough 😉

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

LOL, fair point on the 'waater' but the tripod has screw out adjustable spiked feet and i have only just got them free after months, having rusted up... form salt water. (I was actually done anyway). I just ran a work shop North of Auckland and we were for ever dodging the waves, back and forth. ONfe the feet are wet... they are wet! Hiope you are well Andrew. Thinking of coming over next year to run a two day workshop in bonnie Scotland, by which time, I might have a new camera... maybe. Aw ra best! Ewan

[@andrewhookerphotography4774]

Another awesome video Ewan. Love the message, love the explanation and of course, the images.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Andrew, thanks very much for your continued support. Always good to hear from you. Regards, Ewan
