[@petermcilroy5742]

Superb video - quality of your video production is getting better and better, with smooth transitions, and steady building of interest and anticipation. Really appreciate your thought process behind how you are composing and crafting the images.

Well Done Andrew . Another Great Video . Perfect , natural flowing commentary with great pic's . Cradle Mountain is Stunning . Been there myself 3 times and will be back again next year . btw my pic is me coming down Marion's Lookout at Cradle Mountain with Crater Lake in the background . Loved the hike and will be doing it again . I took some amazing pic's and always put a smile on my face when i view them .

[@rolf_siggaard]

Gorgeous images, well done. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts on location and composition. Cradle Mountain such a special place.

[@ntompson000]

Can I just say how much I am enjoying your Tasmania series Andrew. I have been enjoying your channel for some time; as a Tasmanian, I got quite a thrill when you said you were coming here. It’s wonderful to see our home through the eyes of someone who does not live here; you have more than done it justice. You remind me how lucky we are to live here. Looking forward to the next instalment. Keep up the great work!

[@jimhamilton8775]

Great video and amazing images Andrew.

[@paulbell9957]

Excellent work mate. Such a beautiful location ☺

[@daviddowling9830]

Stunning scenes,what a beautiful state,had no idea what it had to offer. Most enjoyable series,cheers mate.

[@philippeguichard5670]

I love being transported to these beautiful remote locations via your videos. You are doing a great work at filming your trip and it is a pleasure to watch. You got one fantastic pre sunrise horizontal closeup shot of the mountain, this is my favorite of the sunrise photos. Your last one of cradle mountain is beautifully composed and came out great. Take care.

[@ninacleven7889]

Lovely images.

[@PMCN53]

The images of Cradle Mountain you have captured are masterpieces Andrew. I love the way you describe how you set up your shot and the care you take to capture a truely wonderful image.

[@AndreasLarzon]

Great imageas Andrew. Well done!

[@Rudy60426]

amazing images Andrew

[@leslielanderkin8301]

Stunning.

[@nicolahguy]

Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us, I really enjoy them.

[@analog_presencing]

Did not realize Tasmania had so much to offer in terms of photography, thanks Andrew and looking forward to the next episode!

[@mikekay6288]

Once again, top photos of the Apple Isle, especially that last photo at the beginning of the walk around Lake Dove. Great to rekindle memories of Tassie. Mike in Oz

[@simon_patterson]

I was glad to see you got some interesting conditions after it looked completely clear at the start of the Dove Lake walk. Great job on making the most of what was on offer!

[@Malinois_Whisper]

Well done boys! Very inspirational and exceptional shots. When you’re up for a trip to explore and shoot Vermont in the Fall or the Maine coast let me know. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

Such diverse beauty Andrew. I didn't realize it was so cold after your initial video of this series, looked much more tropical. Regardless, excellent images, particularly liked the one with the small cabin/house on the lake. Stay warm and safe travels.

[@RichardLefroy]

A long day indeed! Bloody hell you looked like you were struggling up the mountain :) 3 pairs of gloves and a face mask next time. Still came away with the goods though - photos were top notch. Nice work at the boat shed and the lake too!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

It looked cold nice clean images like the lake one

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Paul, I had bits of me I couldn't feel. I'm just not used to those temperatures, but I had fun though, cheers, mate! 👍

[@vishuchamp245]

One more brilliant video in your list. Thanks for the awesome vlog.

[@cii1072]

Very nice!

[@SteveStrummerUK]

Great stuff as always Andrew. Listening to you talk about the shoot reminds me of listening to to the late great Richie Benaud talking about cricket :)

[@AndrewDawes]

Hi Andrew, Andrew here :) Mate this came together quite well. Personal favourite image was the vertical composition at 4:26. I think you captured everything that morning was about. Early sunrise, clear skies, a touch of snow and clouds on the mountain, mountain hiking, beautiful scenery with Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain, and that crisp feel. Good explanation of the image breakdown at the end too. I should have come with you and Richard that evening but I am a glutton for punishment and couldn't resist the temptation atop the mountain.

[@Snowcatnz2]

Awesome video Andrew. Your images are amazing. I really loved the first one, the composition really leads the eye to the subject of the mountain. All the others were amazing as well but that one really caught the eye. Great stuff!!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Tim, it was actually a challenging location as there wasn't much to use a foreground interest so I had to do the best I could with the ridge of the moutain. There's parts of Tasmania that feel very much like New Zealand.

[@asimeshpal]

Absolutely marvellous ! The content and the images were too good..

[@markpursglovephotography]

Brilliant images Andrew. 😊 📷

[@iangorner]

I know that you are on trip with 2 other photographers; so as not to create jealousy and possible food fights later, I love all your photos. Well done.

[@AndrewDawes]

Nice diplomacy :)

[@runninblue9415]

Your pictures have always been good, but your video work has seriously gone next level jedi. Awesome 😁

[@BenKapurPhotography]

I do love your approach Andrew, its very unique and relaxed and you have a great way of talking and explaining your images. Amazing shots as always my friend! 👍

[@jameslane3846]

Beautiful photos! You should use a pure mechanical camera like me then! I never have to worry about batteries!

[@MrFrankie1311]

......great! 👍

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Andrew. What a stunning location ! Never realised Tasmania got so cold ! Love the images. The way you talk us through your composition and settings is a real pleasure to watch. What are your thoughts on the D850 now that you've given it a good work out? Really enjoying your channel Andrew. Thanks for sharing.

[@seantomlinson3320]

I really enjoy your video style. I like how you minimize the chatting with that wonderful landscape scenery (drone or otherwise)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Sean, I'm pleased you're enjoying the style of the vlogs, I aim for somewhere between informative,, educational and entertaining. Where I end up can be anyone's guess, cheers mate! 👍

[@georgefrench1907]

Nice images, Andrew. I winced at the footage of your descent over icy rocks. I’ve made a pair of mini-spikes a standard part of my winter photo kit since I broke an ankle on a hike a few years ago and had to hobble from the tree line down to the base of the mountain. Keep up the good work, and be safe. :-)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks George, i did in fact slip a few times on my way down and while I didn't catch it on video I did hurt my knee which became a slight issue for the rest of the trip. Some spikes might be a worthy investment.

[@IBCMTB]

Curious to see how you went about shooting my local spot. Great images, even if you did shoot the most popular locations. Bit of a tip, if you walked a bit over and past Hanson's Peak you can shoot from behind the Twisted lakes, which is a much less commonly shot location (and results in even more fantastic captures imo).

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

As always Andrew brilliant! At times you could have been in the North of Scotland in winter just as cold and treacherous under foot. Jim

[@paulsparkes5741]

Some great images Andrew 👏👏

[@philipculbertson55]

Great video Andrew and really nice photographs. Your video skills have come a long way. Very impressive and professional in appearance.

[@mikeswain9085]

Great video as always Andrew. What are the chances of you doing a video about the menu settings on your new D850?

[@MrRooster1968]

some stunning images great vlog thank you

[@DavidSenteno]

Beautiful intro and drone footage. Really enjoyed the video.

[@BrianHorsey]

Looked like a tough start to the day, was the weather worse than you expected or was it normal for a Tasmania winter? Probably the first horizontal (crop or pano?) and the boathouse clicked loudest for me but it was a close call. Cheers.

[@nandyvara]

Awesome work. I think you were let down by the sunrise. I have seen some epic sunrise pics. Not much u could do about that.

[@buc71x24]

Top Notch images!

[@MarkEnsbeyMPR]

Magical spot to capture Andrew, well done. But a quiet warning, a lot of Tasmania is National Park and wildlife. And thus all No drone zones. Especially the cradle mountain area, national parks services consistently monitor videos of tasmania for drone misuse so please be careful. Loved your video!!!!! Get on Tasmanian Parks and wildlife website or a few of the Tasmanian drone Facebook pages for more information.

[@stevemarson9665]

Bizarre. I can't think of a less intrusive method of photographing wilderness areas. I've never seen any published evidence that drone use disturbs wildlife and the increasing numbers of restrictions on drone use have more to do with the presumed irritation they cause to humans rather than the environment. (and no .... I'm not a drone user.....)

[@MarkEnsbeyMPR]

Steve Marson yeah I don’t get it either. And please don’t take my message as a drone police comment. Just merely a drone user watching out for content I enjoy, so feel free to delete my earlier comment if you wish. Enjoy photographing our beautiful state. Good luck.

[@stevemarson9665]

No problem ..... most of the US national parks have gone the same way and privately owned estates in scotland ..... which you can freely roam over .... have banned drones as well. It seems to be an increasing issue ...... just surprised that even a remote spot like Tasmania has also joined the banning club. I can understand restrictions in very popular spots ..... but if they are that overrun by tourists then surely the answer is to restrict numbers. Wonderful scenery .... I must visit someday .. !!

[@ChapMan806]

Andrew, I have ran out of superlatives again (ROOSA). Brilliant explanation and images.

[@jamesmcluckie7088]

Great😊👍🏻

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Great intro, three excellent videos with such character. You had a really good shoot Andrew, with some great insight into the shots and location. You all make a great team to watch. Very entertaining 😁👍 thank you

[@scotty4418]

Such amazing images Andrew, and no favourites here, loved them all. In terms of the last image, it was a great example of taking different images of the scene to get the final outcome as the detail front to back was exquisite. Just back from a weekend on the east coast of England and was trying out some of the techniques from your previous seascapes videos. Some turned out ok i think

[@ANDYD655]

great images Andrew. How do you personally combine your exposures ie do you use luminosity masks or HDR in lightroom or do you use layers and masks in photoshop?

[@photografiaaustralis2131]

Loved the last image Andrew. Stunning work mate. I hope the vegetarian diet is not taking too much out of you. Greg

[@AndrewDawes]

Na he's been loving the vegan diet. I've got him on the ropes and hes almost ready to convert fully. Isnt that right, Andrew?!

[@gapwedge11]

Of the 4-5 shots [ the last landscape you did in this episode] which ones did you use and how did you decide to blend? How did the DR of the D850 do on shadow recovery? I have not put my 850 to the test yet, just getting use to all the settings at the moment.

[@tonyturner7676]

Absolutely stunning images, Andrew. One question please. In relation to your final image, did you have to focus stack to get your foreground in focus? Thank you.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Amazing Andrew. Think you have a good kack of this photpgraphy malarcky. ;) Brills stuff mate and looked a lovely location to visit. Atb

[@MargatePete6137]

Great to see you back in Tassie, you got some epic shots. As I mentioned I had 3 nights at Tarraleah with Community Based Support, was a bit restricted in what I could do being with a group of carers. We did get a boat trip on Lake St Clair. Not easy to photograph from a moving boat (only one small window opening) but got a few photos. I wish I had my polariser to take the shine off the water. I put some on Trover, see link. www.trover.com/u/2949034002/photos

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

Episode 3, well worth the wait. Tasmania is so beautiful. Reminds me of the Sierra Nevada here in California. A question for the other Andrew; are those landforms glaciated? I had a hard time distinguishing between the bracketed and composite morning pic's taken near the top. Which one is which? The boathouse photo is spectacular too. I'm wondering; is there a time when the trees turn color in Tasmania? If so, your next trip to Tasmania could be in your fall. I can visualize the boathouse with fall colors surrounding the background. The last photo at lake level and your use of the textural differences with the plants worked perfectly. My eye was drawn to the detail of the foreground, the glassy lake, then the mountain. Great composition, leading the viewer to the peaks. Excellent. Looking forward to part 4.

[@AndrewDawes]

Hey Steve, yeah that is a glacial valley. When you walk around Dove lake you can see outcrops of moraine deposits at the lake level!

[@samkruijver]

Did you have to focus stack for the Dove Lake image at the end?

[@charlenenagel7962]

Beautiful! Did you end up using the bracketed images or the filtered?

[@RobJorg]

7:53 snearkers ?

[@RichardLefroy]

Rob Jorg Was letting my boots (and feet!) have a breather during our little stroll around the lake. Proper boots for climbing mountains earlier though - wouldn’t have made it otherwise! 😀

[@keithswindell6212]

Beautiful images as always. You might consider something like these when the world is glazed over with ice, they work pretty well. www.stabilgear.com/shop/outdoor-recreation/stabilicers-lite/ (no I don't have any relationship with the company, I just live in the Northeast US and know they work) For thicker ice you would need something with bigger spikes.

[@joonochakma2823]

Amazing photos Andrew👍
