Landscape Photography Essentials

[@TonyAndChelsea]

⭐ Our favorite landscape gear ⭐ LANDSCAPE CAMERAS: Good ($550 at Amazon): Sony a6000 help.tc/a6000 Better ($1,400) at Amazon: Nikon D5500 help.tc/D5500 & Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 help.tc/s35 Best ($3,150) at Amazon: Pentax K-1 help.tc/K1 & Pentax 24-70 f/2.8 help.tc/p24

[@rajibroy04]

I have a D3400 and planning to upgrade glass first. The Sigma 18-35 mm loses sharpness beyond f/8 according to Dxomark. Please advise, when one needs a broad depth of field but desires sharp image.

[@boeffen27071985]

I love your videos... You're so good at explaining and have very good and relaxing voices... :) I could only afford a Canon 1100D (everything is expensive here in Denmark), but i think it's okay as my first DSLR camera?.. :)

[@gavinwade349]

+Rajib Roy Don't worry about stopping down the aperture in order to get enough depth of field. All lenses lose some detail due to diffraction (when you stop down past F8 the diffraction can have a noticeable effect on detail) however the sigma 18-35 is a great landscape lens and is plenty sharp even when stopped down past F8. Your pictures will be better if you stop down to get everything you want in focus instead of keeping you aperture at F8 or below in order to get a tiny bit more sharpness.

[@davva360]

I have the A6000 and it takes better pictures than my Canon 70D. Highly recommend that camera.

[@janerose1945]

Thanks for extending the video with the helicopter footage at the end. Just loved how endless the beauty felt.

[@shermanjones1417]

You guys continue to impress me. You're production quality is getting better and better too! Long time fan, keep up the good work!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

sherman jones Thanks!

[@Supermanohman]

I love this video so much that when I lose another 50 pounds I'm taking a vacation there to do some photography. 2 minutes into the video I decided that's where I'm going to go. Weight loss and photography go hand in hand for me and I tell myself when I get a little thinner then I'm taking a trip somewhere like this. Somewhere rugged, dirty, and muddy. And I bet there's good fishing up there too. Thanks so much guys for uploading this!

[@BoodskiBro]

Hey Vic, how much have you lost so far?

[@letstravelsomewhere]

+Vic Vinegar wow you are exact version of me. lol

[@MegaYuzer]

+Vic Vinegar It's been for month... have you made the trip?

[@Supermanohman]

MegaYuzer Unfortunately no. Sometimes things don't work out for me.

[@jordanthecat]

+Vic Vinegar My brother lost more than 50 pounds simply by walking every day- it took him a few years, though. Don't deny yourself a photography trip until you lose weight- go on that trip now, and consider it just another component of your photo/exercise lifestyle.

[@TimothyGoetz]

love it! Makes me go back and re-read chapters. If you don't have this book you NEED it!

[@bravan49]

Thank you Chelsea and Tony. Really love your approach.

[@tomphillipsscuba]

I always take a couple of plastic bags with me in my rucksack as well as some paper towels incase I need to dry my fingers before touching my gear or something like that. Great video, gorgeous spot.

[@tonyesposito66]

Great video, I am from the UK and spent a week at Glacier National Park in 2013, loved the place so much we will be back!!!

[@austinraver2753]

Excited to get the new updated book. I have the lightroom 5 book and love it. I just can't get enough of this channel. I look forward to checking KZbin every day because of this channel. Keep up the great work you guys and thank you so much for everything!

[@tomojulitaiga]

That last image of the blue "river between the snow and mountain was BEAUTIFUL.

[@elisebean1]

Hello Northrups! I am new to photography and recently purchased my first DSLR. I am loving it so far, and with the help of your book and videos, I'm learning a lot. Thanks for helping me to be inspired as I get into a longtime interest turned hobby. I'm so excited to better my skills and be a great photographer. Thanks Tony and Chelsea!! ♡

[@CyberDocUSA]

At 04:00 I was literally holding my breath when Tony had that tripod poised on the edge of that cliff! Loved the video and am trying to catch up on all of your work, guys. Thanks for sharing and teaching!

[@SJ-zn7xo]

I travel the world and always end up in beautiful scenery like this, almost all the photos I take are big wide landscape shots. I just wish I had seen this video a few years ago and my shots would've been so much better! Thanks for this video!

[@ImoodyI]

That wet shoe and cold foot was a great picture. It might not a landscape one but it is perfect to be in a collage of the place you went.

[@bob_345-g3d]

Montana is such a beautiful state. I was there a few weeks ago and it is such a stunning place. Its one thing to see video and pictures, but to be there is a whole other experience.

[@PeterWilson44]

***** I was born and raised about 70 miles from Glacier. I'm an old guy now but totally took it for granted as a kid. I'd move back in a heartbeat . . .

[@SuperDigitalMe]

For me this is the best video you ever made on this channel.

[@kismat_rana]

I found "Nepal" as a perfect destination for photography and to spent vacation !! Low costs but heavenly pleasant places wow..

[@henjohn8634]

Love your reviews! As well as being informative it's quite entertaining. Your genuine, honest, and very helpful!

[@smaakjeks]

Another small tip for taking panoramas. As you pan, try to keep the camera in the same spot, rather than swinging it in an arch around your axis. If there are things in the foreground, swinging the camera in an arch will make it more difficult to stich the picture together in post. That's because the relative position of foreground objects will change in relation to background objects. In other words, it creates parallax.

[@matbishopsa]

Good tip.

[@MegaYoyo42]

Wow! Thanks so much for that extra footage, so beautiful.

[@ElizabethAnnRose]

Love your videos. I am learning so much. Thank you for sharing your gift of photography with the world.

[@michaelbevington7468]

Just watched this again to view the helicopter ride. That one spot where there was a high elevation lake cupped between peaks and another lake below it was stunning.

[@mickeystine3100]

I went to our library here and checked out that book. Can't wait to start reading it.

[@obamania2009]

Was so lucky to be able to stop by on a work trip. Didn't realize it at the time but I took a picture of the exact same waterfall at the exact same place you did earlier in the video. For Avalanche falls at the end of the trail I was very happy I brought my Tokina 11-16mm pro II. My best shot I took was at the top of Logan pass right before I got to hidden lake. I will be going back to GNP!

[@CamaroTime]

Looks like you guys had a great trip even if you did get wet. You got some great shots and very good tips. Thanks

[@randall.chamberlain]

I simply love everything from you guys. Awesome book, videos and lessons that really make sense. Keep on the good work.

[@matnojje]

Your channel is the best photography channel on you tube. I some how feel like i know less about photography every video i watch. but in a good way because it creates a hunger for more. And i'm a professional photographer with a B.A .

[@Powerstroke98]

Got SDP on my lap! Just watching some of your video's I hadn't come across! Keep them coming, I love it!

[@TheRayd700]

Great tips, wonderful photography and beautiful family. Thank you so much for the video.

[@matthewharwood8866]

I love Glacier NP. One of my favorite NP's! Great video!!!

[@ManyDoors777]

Majestic and beautiful. Looks like a great place to explore. Great video!

[@TonyB57sChannel]

Wonderful video, I want to pack up right away and head out somewhere beautiful. I love all of your videos, you guys are an inspiration.

[@maglanit]

WOW!!! What a stunning view from the sky! Great videos, loved it! More video tutorials Tony/Chelsea!

[@HusainAlfraid]

wow...that lake on the top is just spectacular !

[@MortenHilmer]

What an awesome location - that is just so incredible beautiful and so different from the locations I go to. Maybe it is time for some more sun and warm weather very soon:) Keep up the good work:)

[@MrKeys1983]

I'm getting fond of you guys. I've seen quite a few of your videos and appreciate them a lot. Will definitely buy your book! Thank you for all the knowledge that you share! Best regards from Norway

[@delfdabat]

i love hearing you guys' tips on what to do and i have learned a lot from you but i have to say it's quite different seeing you guys out there, in action and actually doing the techniques you describe. soooo good!! thank you for everything Tony Northrup and *****!

[@philg6757]

How beautiful is that place? Just lovely. Thanks for the video.

[@drpatmabry]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your talent. They are wonderful gifts, much appreciated.

[@michaellippert]

Fortunately I live short distance from those mountains. I used to work out there and yes it's super beautiful.

[@jackpeeples9004]

Nice video and good tips for a beginner like me. I like how you mentioned the settings and shown the difference side by side. Subscribed.

[@MrTommieRetro]

This is now on my photography bucket list.

[@jeffisso]

My favorite place in the country. I have to get to Yosemite too in order to have a fair comparison. Great tips thanks!!!

[@chrishastings]

Tony & Chelsea, I love the storytelling format guys kick ass..

[@jeff17s]

I now feel unfortunate to have lived next to Glacier NP for 30yrs and still not been to avalanche lake... Looks like I gotta go back. Especially now that I got your paperback books and bluray videos to make it worthwhile! Excited to start progressing in my photography to capture these memories from now on.

[@ToddGrivetti]

Hey guys, spent a week up there this past Sept. Second trip to the park. Love this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheKnut]

You can tell Tony was a little bit excited :D Amazing video (vlog), one of your best. Thank you!

[@TylerB_AL]

This is one of my favorite videos you guys have made. Awesome.

[@Powerstroke98]

Yes Chelsea, I have SDP sitting in front of me, and to wanting more video's like your Montana trip for landscapes! As you know, there are many many places in the U.S. to get stunning photo's, and perhaps as a 'tip' you could head to the Yukon and Alaska at some point! Just spent 5 weeks there ourselves, and the scenery is spectacular in many many locations. We chose August, as the chance of rain was less, and there is still a lot of colour and light. Be ready for those long days though, as going to bed at midnight with the sun still shining certainly is a little different!

[@huggy176]

Have to admit Tony and Chelsea, you guys are brilliant. Your videos are very informative and i watch every video you do. I'm going to Lanzarote on Sunday and i'm taking my camera for the 1st time. Oh and not a point and shoot one lol. I'm pretty new to the scene but going to try and put your knowledge into practice. Thanks again guys for the priceless info and looking forward to your next vid. Cheers Derek

[@Wsmith247]

Its amazing how much the temperature can change just in a slight elevation. Great video.

[@ludwigbarnes3058]

Done. Purchased your book via Amazon. Have been enjoying your videos and looking forward to the print edition. Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@CodeLeeCarter]

I really enjoyed this video, a little more Nature at the end of some videos is a nice touch,... thanks for sharing.

[@droner5423]

Loved the helicopter footage. Can't wait to see the photos

[@quebecker3799]

Absolutely stunning images of Montana. Beautiful!

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

Great job! Thanks Tony & Chelsea!

[@JMigArt]

I researched this location a few months ago. Great video as always. Headed to Yosemite for the first time next week. Get to enjoy Ansel's backyard for the first time.

[@MiltonFerro]

you guys are amazing.Thanks a lot for all yours tips and advises.I will buy your book for sure.

[@MrPello36]

Just got my book, I am so excited to have it

[@MichaelVaraklas]

Congrats guys, that was beautiful

[@slowmotionvideos9007]

The quick bit about shutter speed in video just blew my mind a bit. It never occurred to me that I should even change it from default when I record, but wow. Totally changes the look.

[@MrFlintmica]

Crazy! I live about 6 hours away from glacier national park! Glad you guys enjoyed Montana!

[@joecerda630]

thanks for sharing...you guys are entertaining, funny and best of all informative.

[@lindonlee2143]

WOW, looks like such an awesome trip! You guys are awesome :-)

[@abuanwp]

I learned a lot just by watching your videos. Will buy the ebook soon! :-)

[@photonspark]

Thanks for sharing your adventure in nature, it seriously pulls my heart upwards, where I feel the most free in nature :) I hope you can do more of these landscape trips and share some tips, once you're allowed out back into the wild! I backpacked in the US in 2004, and the beautiful Rockies in CO and rock formations in Utah were my favourites! Would love to see Montana one day.. Last year my 20yr dream of visiting New Zealand became a reality ( I've been living in Australia). I wanted something better than my Sony Xperia Premium smartphone, so being on limited $, bought a 2nd hand Lumix LX100, which got lost in the post, found its way back to the sender the day before my trip... I got a refund, but embarked on my NZ trip just with my smartphone, a super light tripod with phone bracket, and my Mavic Pro Platinum drone... In the end the Xperia did quite well, but photos where a bit over sharpened in camera, and the single wide angle lens made the spectacular mountains look too far away and small at times. The scenery were so gorgeous though, that it kinda made up for my lack of camera gear in a way. But definitely determined to go back there with a proper camera and approx 3 lenses. Leaning towards X-T30 for compact size and lenses, & reasonable 2nd hand price. NZ is super strict re drone laws, (you need different paid permits for different regions), I ended getting some nice footage in 2 breathtaking spots (both in LOTR). A few months later and I still need to finish editing all my footage and photos! I'm not allowing myself to buy gear until I've done that ! Keep safe and hoping you can enjoy the natural beauty of the US again soon!

[@premnathalfred2785]

Amazing shots! Thanks for those wonderful tips, awaiting the new edition of the book! keep the good work going!

[@prince3734]

Love ur family so much!

[@denniswilson9367]

Great family vacation, very cool place for photos...rockstar parents and photographers :)

[@SuperMikeBishop]

The wife and I are going to Maui in Aug. I plan on make use of the GoPro 4 and the 70D. Going to do a helicopter tour.

[@PaulBphoto]

Good tips. Thanks for the extra copter footage at the end. Now Glacier National Park is on my bucket list.

[@igetsmart]

Awesome guys - great all went including Madelyn - what a great idea - awesome sights and nice video - thanks

[@darrens7040]

what a beautiful part of the world similar to back home in NZ awesome of you guys to share many thanks to you also am looking forward to your book update

[@SirTomster1]

Sure, make me want to visit that park. My parents went one year and it was all fog. But you found some great spots.

[@Ar-kx4hp]

what a beautiful and inspiring video.

[@camdavbax]

What a beautiful plane ride... wow

[@misterjt961]

I'm definitely adding this to my go to list. I'm planning on going cross country with a 4x5 and getting the continental US in a large series of photos. this won't be until l get a car that gets more than 20mpg. my goodness you don't have to travel to europe to get stunning shots.

[@russmarino9253]

This is hilarious....enjoyed every minute of it!

[@mateo130]

This place is beyond words...

[@joesheehan5540]

interesting to see how you got the shot of that mountain lake spot, I was in that same spot this summer and I didn't even think of some of the things you did.

[@ChannelofRichPierik]

Killer intro, and quality content. Thanks.

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Some, do not like, for whatever reasons. I do like the Tony & Chelsea Photography videos, because they are easy to listen to. Direct. And the videos give you a simple understanding of photography's important essentials. To many videos that are to educate you on photography are difficult to understand and most are ranting without getting to the moral of the video.

[@albertlugosi]

Thanks! One of the best videos I have seen lately.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Albert Lugosi Thanks!

[@sudejrai7418]

I love landscape photography .

[@o.tsonev]

Great video! Thanks Tony Northrup!

[@angelinathedrifter]

Jus breath taking beautiful 👑m' n't a pro' photographer but photography is one of my many passions..be it paintings or photography 'nature '..is my love😊❤

[@15kamal]

I have this book n it's very helpful. thanx to both of u

[@xhunter628x]

Hello and thank you for this helpful information, I really enjoy the channel. Im new to the DSLR world, just picked up a Nikon D3300, and wanted to upgrade to a better lens asap, so for outdoors, landscape, nature shots would you recommend the nikon 35mm 1.8 or a Rokinon 14mm Ultra wide angle, this is pretty much the price maximum I have to invest, thank you.

[@jasonkundrat3825]

Great video, just ordered your book. Keep up the good work, you guys are great together.

[@Mrnoone23]

Love the view in this video!

[@jacq_only]

I just ordered this on Amazon today, i really like to learn in depth the science of photography...

[@erinbabitz]

Love this video and very inspiring. If you are ever in the Poconos, I have some really good suggestions.

[@SunnySingh-mg9sk]

Guys your pictures are amazing, would love to check out Montana!

[@MrDannyr2000]

WOW that was absolutely stunning think i need to jump onto a Flying Kangaroo and come over to visit that beautiful spot...thanks guys for a great vid

[@TheSkarred]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and just found this one. Hands down this is your best video on KZbin. It feels honest - minus all the "buy my book" bits. lol

[@TonyAndChelsea]

but we honestly want you to buy our books.... ~chelsea

[@TheSkarred]

Tony & Chelsea Northrup lol Stunning Digital Photography was the first book I bought when I took up photography as a hobby. :p

[@jimksa67]

just a little image shake in that copter eh lol good to see the family!! nice country!

[@old4004]

Thanks for this video on Glacier NP. I've been waiting for it ever since you announced that you had planned a trip there. Wish that you would have shown us more of your images.....does that come later?

[@SunnySingh-mg9sk]

You guys are amazing seriously stunning location

[@eddybrown7030]

That f/0.95 at the beginning is stunning.

[@barilj]

I have loved stopping by your youtube channel at this time. I will be coming back once again very soon. In the mean time, take care.
