LANDSCAPE photography | BATTLE of the ELEMENTS: Rain, Waves & MOTION BLUR

[@mikiethebikie]

Thanks Izzy, any of us would have been caught out by that moving subject. Watching your work gives me a great start to my day.👏

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the adventure! 🙏🙏🙏

I wouldn't have expected the railings/fence to be moving, and it would have flummoxed me (and I guess many others) as well. Still, reasoning-out the situation paid dividends, and as always, we were treated to some glorious images. Loved the minimal palette of colours around 9:20 - these images appeal to me greatly. I feel like nature has selected just one row of a Dulux colour chart. Thanks for taking the time to bring this all to us.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers M, much appreciated. Well it flummoxed me for such a long time (2 visits over 5 hours, hundreds of images... just shows how dense I can be at times 😂). Have a great weekend matey 🙏🙏🙏

[@juanitakelly3082]

Thanks for showing us when and why things sometimes don't work! You are always up for a challenge!!

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Juanita glad you enjoyed the adventure... as you saw it wasn't always plain sailing but I'm always up for a challenge and hopefully finding solutions. Have a great weekend 🙏🙏🙏

that weather! like, welcome to Wales!!!! seriously, that beach looked an ankle-breaker. even in my younger rock-hopping days I'd have been overly cautious there. the image at 9:15 is just sublime. the dark but muted colours perfectly match the mood and conditions, and the exposure time (you know I prefer shorter over longer!!) is spot on. one of your finest in my opinion Izzy mate 🙂 I also really like the narrow frame at 21:00 - can see that in a gallery 🙂

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Can't thank you enough Nick, much appreciated. And yeah that beach takes no prisoners. Have a great weekend buddy 🙏🙏🙏

[@rosssayer6524]

Well Izzy you really had a very adventurous time there with those moving iron railings. Still you showed us that it's best to keep at it and finally work out the problem. Some beautiful images Izzy, the image at 9:16 stood out for me and the Pano at the completion was great. I also agree with the fact using a soft grad in the field is really helpful instead of waiting to do it all in post. Thanks for the great video and have a safe week.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Ross, it took a couple of visits and quite a few images before I discovered the movement... I can tell you I didn't feel like the sharpest tool in the box 😂. I take conditions as a challenge and like to use grads to get it right out in the field. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏

[@nigelthomas6813]

Love your dedication and determination Izzy, well done some beautiful images 👍

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thank you as always Nigel, much appreciated. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏

Sorry to be so late making a comment, I did watch on Sunday! I would have been completely flumoxed with the movement of the metal railings - would have thought ME FIRST doing something wrong, then maybe the camera! Would have taken me forever to figure it out. Such a valuable lesson there though!!! Stunningly beautiful images in the end, the moodiness of the sky and the water, sublime. Aside from the photos...I also love the choices you make with the music you do for background when displaying the finished photos....Give a pat to Raffy, hope he is back to his old self.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it and that lesson is one I learned the hard way, it's easy to get caught up in the technical side of things, but those railings were starting to get to me 😂. Raffy is sending his thanks, hope you have a great week. 🙏🙏🙏

[@RalphGoldsmith]

I've had that happen to me, thought what I was shooting was solid and turned out it was moving. Very frustrating until you figure it out. Thanks for sharing and have a great week

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Frustrating describes it perfectly, and once you realise what's going on you feel a complete idiot for not noticing earlier (or at least I do) 😂. Have a great weekend Ralph🙏🙏🙏

[@davidrushworth658]

Many thanks again Izzy for a wonderfully informative session, including how to scale rocks like that proverbial mountain goat 😅. That movement had me fooled as well. Beautiful images again, the colours in the rocks....wow. That pano though, gorgeous!! I'm looking forward to your next instalment ........cheers 😁

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Thanks for the kind words David, and you are very welcome, glad you enjoyed the adventure. Not so sure about a goat more like a buffalo and one suffering from gout 😂. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏

[@keithklodzen7270]

As I was watching you trying to capture the railings I kept thinking why haven't you noticed those stunning clouds over the rocks. Just my opinion but I found the rocks a far more interesting subject than the railings. The clouds over the rocks just before the rain were very dramatic. But who am I to judge what you want to capture. You have to pursue what speaks to you. You were fortunate in sticking around because the light was stunning after the rain passed. Your persistence paid off and you got the image with the railings you were in pursuit of, at least I hope you were satisfied. I thought it was quite nice. Beautiful images as always.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Keith, I suppose the reason I didn't shoot the sky was because I had tunnel vision and was determined to get the ironwork... I just didn't notice them! I was scolding myself when I was putting the video together 😂. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

I’m so happy that you decided to go back however what is it with that? Gate? Why is it there and what’s the story with this Moving?

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Madness wouldn't you say... a gateway to the sea perhaps, only the fish can tell and their lips are tightly sealed (for good reason 😂). Have a great weekend D 🙏🙏🙏

[@robdlain9145]

Thank Izzy. I missed Raffy today. Hope he's doing ok. Great video as always.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Rob, Raffy has not been well (he was bitten recently, but is now on the mend) thanks for asking. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏

[@eltinjones4542]

📷👍

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Eltin. Have a great weekend 🙏🙏🙏

[@nikkirix4659]

great images.. yes.. it's hard to know why an image is moving or not.. I love all of the images. Maybe next time.. someone go out there and get some concrete mix to hold that fence down .. lol it's makes a great subject or story.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers Nik, I wouldn't be surprised to see you and Allan up here doing a photoshoot with h a cement mixer 😂. Your group sure do get around. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏

[@motorvelo]

Shoot you long exposure then shoot a short exposure to capture the man made objects sharp and comp them together in post.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers matey, yes I suppose that is one way to go... once I worked out what was happening that is 😂. Have a great weekend 🙏🙏🙏

[@tomwebb5148]

What on earth is that gate/fence structure? Is it the Australian equivalent of Trumps Mexican border fence? I have no idea how you conjure up such magical images from such bare beaches…well done mate

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Just random debris from an industrial plant that used to sit on the hills behind me Thomas. Appreciate you sharing my adventures as always, hope you and the family are doing fantastically well. Have a great weekend 🙏🙏🙏

[@adonuff3338]

Frustrating shoot! I know how you feel every time I try a long exposure around my local area the wind picks up the trees, grass etc. move. The only way I can fix the picture involves a lot of fiddly blending.

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Cheers mate and yes, that old wind (or heavy surf), always trying to mess up our photos! 😂. Have a great weekend ahead 🙏🙏🙏
