Thanks again! :)

[@direxie]

Dang I’m early! I’ve been addicted to your KZbin videos lately man :) such inspiring work and thank you for all the amazing content

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha, thanks mate! Just filming the odd piece when I can, nothing too serious :)

[@hidankakuzu6052]

I'm jealous! I hope to travel soon and take photos of the wilderness.

[@Dmzfotografie]

Nice Vlog, thanks for taking me with you into the forest! Nice Photo! I know the problem with a lot of distractions in the jungle, hard to deal with but you did great! Subscribed!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you Daniel!

[@PrivateRes]

Great vids mate, keep them coming

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks a lot mate :)

[@sarahlyndsay]

Awesome vid!!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Sarah!

[@TheycallmeWade]

great work mate, loving the videos and missing NZ like crazy

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers man.

Really liked the vlog William. I am from Southland and just started landscape photography and liked the way you explained how to frame a nice photo in a kind of busy forest. Thanks for that. I am not sure if you have made videos on safety and preparedness while camping for photography in Fiordland. Very nice photo, feels like you can walk into the forest now.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you. You might enjoy some of the other videos too :) I run workshops here so if you ever wanted to fast track some learning and get out in the field together feel free to email me. I’ve got more videos on the way which I hope help in the meantime. All the best!

[@MegaDwilkinson]

Fantastic image Will and great to see you out and about in this beautiful place 🤚

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@scdronemedia]

Excellent. Don't agree that the shot is 'too busy'; for me there are just about the right amount of elements. I really enjoyed that Will, the forest is always my place of solitude (usually with the dog). I'm so jealous of all the ferns you have, in the UK we don't have so many different species of them.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Steve, I just released another forest based video 🤓

[@helensmall6402]

Great vid. Beautiful work Will. 🙂

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mattmeisenheimer8796]

Love these vids man and seeing the approach. You’re a true professional for sure.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cmon man, you're making me blush, haha. That means a lot. Not trying to go overboard with these, or to be a 'KZbinr'. I still want to enjoy being in the moment out there. So I'm really stoked to see your comment.

[@TheLuckyluc555]

These vlog style videos are very fun and interesting to watch, keep it up!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks! Will do!

[@trobbiani]

Thanks ! I love this video, and definitely you visión about on the composition. Please keep them coming! 👍

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks a lot!

[@gamingseries7652]

I want to live rest of my life in New Zealand

[@shanewilliams613]

Great perspective of your mindset, a lot to reflect on. Very informative and inspiring, thanks!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shanewilliams613]

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography The parts about just enjoying being out there and shooting to please yourself are things a lot of shooters need to remind themselves of I reckon. Cheers.

[@eriknilsson1468]

Love temperate rainforests. So lush. Great end result & sweet video!

[@jamesbaker3038]

Great video Will. Workflow wise this helping me a lot. I hate using my tripod and it couldn't be more frustrating to use. Seeing you work without one shows how easy it can be. I also always come back with too many images and its a nightmare to review them all, so this has helped with that as well. Keep up the great work! James

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks James, I appreciate the comment and am stoked to have inspired you in some way. Cheers!

[@philipnixey436]

I love shooting handheld as well, and I was wandering the bush in Karamea today, thinking how much I love the solitude also.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Awesome Phil!

[@tomwebbnz]

Cheers mate. Enjoyed your video and thoughts on this capture. Makes me want to pick up my camera and get out in the field. Living in the Coromandel, there a lot of landscape photography to be had.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Awesome! Get into it!

[@dayashankarjangir7818]

Wow it's really great 🤩

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks 😋

[@rosshalder1334]

Great video mate , even though I’m relatively new to the photography world I can share your view on just loving being out in the moment , taking photos and enjoying the process

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

That's the most important part. Don't lose that mate.

[@CaraDaFotoOficial]

Really nice video, man! Thanks for sharing

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks a lot man I really appreciate it 🙏🏻🖤

[@ChadSolomon]

The concept of photographing without a tripod is hard for me to comprehend, having always done so. But you have 100% opened my eyes to move forward with trying this particularly when I go hiking. Maybe you have talked about this in other videos, how are you handling droplets/mist/fog build up on the lens? Thanks

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Yeah it’s been over 3 years since I used a tripod (aside from capturing the aurora). You’ll struggle to get the slower speeds on a DSLR but a stabilised mirrorless body is a piece of cake. For drops and shooting in the rain, I just carry a micro fibre towel and use that over the camera intermittently.

[@mariemoremon9382]

Love these "real" videos Will. Thanks for sharing, I'm learning lots:)

[@nosamsemaj]

Hi William - Just discovered your channel. Thoroughly enjoying your back catalog of work! Any chance you might be able to do a video on the settings you use to capture these spectacular shots? Thank you 😎

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Great suggestion!

[@samwilson4012]

Hi William Just found you on KZbin. First became aware of you here on the Talking Landscape Photography channel after doing a tour with Jay Evans. Recently purchased your complete bundle - love your work and looking forward to learning more with you

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Sam, I really appreciate it!!

[@tomcramp3011]

Awesome to see how you go about it out in the field. Great video 👌 Are there no leeches in NZ!? Would be mauled to death in similar places here in Tassie 🤣

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers! Haven’t encountered any yet :) I use to get covered as well, when I lived in Aus.

[@ElizabethGaddPhotography]

Wonderful video, Will!! There really is nothing like a lush forest to get lost in. Always been my favourite kind of environment since childhood too. You do it justice - the end result photo is beautiful! Definitely would love to see more videos like this from you, love hearing your thoughts behind everything. Keep it up my friend. 🙂

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks so much Lizzy! I still often think about that amazing ‘forest of light’ near you. Love to get there one day. Thanks for stopping by :)

[@nh-ss5pw]

Inspirational as always, that scene looked very peaceful. I may be asking too much but what about a minimal coastal scene? Regardless great image and cheers

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

More to come for sure, thanks for the ideas!!

[@blackcap80]

Cool vid. I’m amazed at how you can hand hold these. Pretty sure if I tried 1/8sec it’s be a blurry mess! And focus stacking them, how on earth do you get two hand held shots to align??

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks. Don’t bounce around like a maniac would be the main tip, haha. Even on a tripod, you need to align the images in post due to ‘focus breathing’. There’s virtually no difference doing it handheld, except that’s it’s faster and more enjoyable of course.

[@nsfotographi]

Good video

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed

[@barryashenhurst2071]

Good vid again, mate. But where did you focus?

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks. Just in the mid ground. When shooting with a wide angle lens and narrow aperture, you almost can’t go wrong with focussing.
