[@andersanderson11]

Lovely! Greetings from Australia. Subbed.😁

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

thank you hope you watch a few more of my videos, i have just met a subscriber from Austrailia

[@bestpix100]

Thanks for this, you are rapidly becoming one of my favourite bloggers, thanks to both of you for taking the time to make this

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

your very welcome and this was a rush job haha

[@danielkeeler6108]

I've been watching you for a while a now and picked up loads of tips from your videos, I was just wondering I'm on the verge of buying a new lense I'm into landscape photography and go out and about is the 17-40mm your go to lense. Thanks

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

The 17-40 is a great lens for the money what body are you putting it onto. On a full frame like mine this will be wide I use the newer 16-35 for my wide stuff. My first go to lens for all work would be 24-105 f4 it’s not a bad lens but I know the new 24-70 is sharper. Depends what you have now

[@danielkeeler6108]

I have a canon 700D at the moment whilst I'm just getting into it thanks for the reply

[@danielkeeler6108]

Or would I maybe be better with the 10-22

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

well your still looking at wide angle lens, on your crop body it will not be as wide.. 17-40 is a good lens mind

[@danielkeeler6108]

I hate decisions😂

[@nickyfoulkes8476]

Hi Paul have you seen the new Lee filter adapter holder & new polariser or you can buy a ring to fit the old one. Looks better?

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

i have yes was trying to get Lee to part with one so i could play with it, but they are not biting haha

[@DanielBennettPHOTOGRAPHY]

Mate that 4 minute exposure looked really good my favourite out of them all, as for the shout out and end card WOW did not see that coming thank you very much for that mate I really appreciate it 👍

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

your welcome mate, if i mention you you get it... and i was inspired by your water one

[@DanielBennettPHOTOGRAPHY]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography it was appreciated, and to say I inspired someone it's new to me Haha

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

haha

[@jeffogden6060]

Nice one Paul and Denise. I had a similar issue last year when I tried to access Raven Crag--lots of road works and I finally gave up. If I knew where to park and how far to walk I would have given it a go. Maybe next time. I never bought one of those remotes because I know I would lose it. Turns out it is just as easy to forget to bring a cable release too! Cheers, Jeff

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Haha I know so hard to find a way round and as you say not knowing where to leave the car haha

[@stevemcguinness2646]

Great video Paul

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Thanks Buddy

[@douglydiate7575]

Good video Paul. You looked like a Ninja turtle walking through the trees with the big orange waterproof cover on your back :)

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Funny you should say that has been said before haha thanks buddy

[@eltinjones4542]

Filters seem to work, some nice images 👌. Always keep a release cable in my bag. Never use anything remote or I'd forget it or loose it 😂

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

i have one but never use it...lol

[@MrHeliflyguy]

Nice vlog Paul, another location for my list.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

sure defo add them up mate, enjoy showing you around my friend

[@3Laffy_Taffy]

If your shooting over 30 seconds how do you make sure a correct shutter speed over 30 seconds please

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

you take your base exposure then you use an app or chart to work it out, maybe a 121 with me on long exposure

[@3Laffy_Taffy]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Do you count or can you set the camera to 121 seconds

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

121 is a One to One workshop... i set the time on the camera now, i used to use the phone app to count down

[@3Laffy_Taffy]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography That what I have been trying to find in my Canon 1dx mark3 . I am sports photographer who going to Wales and would love to try some long exposures . Thanks for all your help Paul.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

just clearing some old replies i have missed sorry i did not respond

[@christopherkelly766]

Hello to you both, my first time using nd filter my pics was complete white so going after keep studying your technique am using a nikon D7100 and the filter is a 12 . Any ideas why it come out just white , thanking you for reading this

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

OK so what filter is it please, i dont understand a 12?

[@christopherkelly766]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Sorry its a K&f ND2 - 33 filter

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

ND2 is small if your trying to get long exposures you need bigger filters like ND6 or ND10

[@mats9192]

I don't fully understand how to use an ND filter. If you use it to make a blown out sky look nice, doesn't everything else go totally dark then?

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

there is a difference from ND filters to ND Grad filters.. the idea is you only have the ND (the dark part) over the light bits of the image..

[@mats9192]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography So when using a normal ND filter it should be possible to get an ok exposure of both the sky and the land without the filter and I only use the filter to be able to get a longer exposure time to smooth out water etc. Is that correctly understood?

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Yes mate, you have given me an idea for a vieo now, i thought everyone knew how they worked... so if its ok can i mention you in a video.. or you can send me a phone video question saying just this...lol but yes, an ND ie 6 stop or 10 stop will stop all the light getting in, so making your exposure time longer, if you want to control the sky then you need ND Grads so only covering the bright parts of the image..

[@mats9192]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Feel free to mention me if you want...not needed, but I would be honored :)

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

think you should do me a video clip on your phone and send it me...haha
