Landscape photography l Shoot a new Location, and enjoy it!

Workshops available. I do one per year, thats it! One planned for Scotland in 2023.
A Landscape Photography Trip to a New Location to shoot somewhere i haven't been before. I see a beautiful scene and enjoy it. High up, at Skippers Saddle outside Queenstown, NZ, with fellow landscape photographer Brett Wood. To Pano, or not to Pano... that is the question.

15:15 Best shot of the video! Taking great photos with great people! Enjoyed the video.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Knightriderbelow - thanks mate. You get as much fun out of sharing an awesome location like this with other, as you do, actually doing the shooting itself. = ) Kind regards Ewan

[@Ktizo_Images]

Great location. Nice images. Good dialogue. Thanks for taking me along.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Gary, you are very welcome and thanks very much indeed. Best wishes, Ewan

[@isotechimages.9130]

Always love the youtube notification that Ewan has a new video and here he is with another of my favorite landscape photographers.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Many thanks Scott. Always good to hear and Brett and I got on well together! Nice guy! Ewan

[@kerrigolden4049]

It’s always great to see another video from you Ewan, and this one is no exception. It always feels like we’ve come along with you on the shoot but the insight on this one is really cool - how you choose your angle, take it all in, connect with the landscape & of course interact with Brett (besties). A good reminder to enjoy the moment. You may not have the following or subscriber volume you deserve yet, but if you look at the maths (stick with me here) in terms of views compared to subscribers, you’re around 80% or more, whereas some other more “popular” photographers only have 5% or so engagement - so yes a smallish following, but a loyal & captive one😊

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Kerri - thanks for the meaningful thoughts and your kind words. I hadn't really give the maths an awful lot of though, more grateful and possibly a little surprised that people take their, time, to watch my stuff on here when time is such a valuable commodity these days! Thanks again, enjoy your sunrise shoot tomorrow and was good to chat and catch up this morning. Speak soon! Regards, Ewan

[@BrettWoodPhoto]

Nice work there mate. I forgot about half that footage. Well put together. It was good to catch up that day & I enjoyed the cup of tea 🍵 afterwards with you guys 💙

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Brett. this has taken me a year to produce. Glad you enjoyed the vid, as it is very fly on the wall, which is what i was trying to do. It was great meeting you too, and a pity that you had to move back to Austary'ia You stay well Brett. Speak soon. Ewan

[@McKinnellPhotography]

Top notch as always Ewan!

Hi Aveya. Thank you and you are more than welcome! Regards, Ewan

[@thomasschwarze7288]

Thanks for this new and nice video - and thanks for reminding me again to slow down and think it all over again while I'm planning a shot. Your calmness are always transferred a little bit to me. So thanks for that!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Morning Thomas. Many thanks, and you are always welcome. I appreciate your interaction. Regards, Ewan

Fantastic as always Ewan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Another good presentation of your work. Regards

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey there HamShanks. Many thanks. I appreciate your feedback. Kind regards, Ewan

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Ewan: As always you create really meaningful videos and images. I am going to keep Brett's saying in mind as we head out to Vancouver Island in a couple to weeks. We were supposed to be in Scotland but Covid-19 protocols meant some changes to our plans. Keep well and keep creating your wonderful videos. Cheers, Keith P.S. Thanks for sharing Brett's information. I have added his channel to my playlists.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Keith. Really appreciate your kindness and your support. Bretts a great guy too! Ewan

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Awesome work as ever Ewan and great to see Brett pop up too. Just loved the colour of the grasses and that final pano was divine, a feast for the eyes 🙏🙏🙏

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

HI Izzy, sure was a lovely light and land interaction, which i mentioned in the vid. The file was nice and softened with a cheeky wee Orton as well, as that is how i imagined it, in bad light! Regards, Ewan

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Wow, stunning Pano again Ewan! What an awesome video should have way more views and subs, thank you for sharing.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks very much John. Appreciate your feedback and kind words. You are welcome. Regards, Ewan

[@ruudmaas2480]

Beautiful photographs of a beautiful environment.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Ruud. Quite a stunning location and well worth the steep clamber up the hill! Always interesting to see how two people will interpret the scene completely differently... but i guess - thats art! Kind regards, Ewan

[@johnjtoth7633]

Great video, Ewan. Thanks for taking me along on your trek with Brett. I see you took time to add some protein (fly) after your hike up. Also, you added another item to my list of things to identify/include in my compositions; Hero Piece. Thanks for that. Keep well.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey John The protein was needed after that hike up there. Bear Grylls has it wrong though! Rather have an energy bar! Every shot needs that hero piece to hold your image together. Its probably one of the reasons that you took it in the first place! Good to have you along! Regards Ewan

[@johnjtoth7633]

@@EwanDunsmuirImages Good morning, Ewan. After Chris Sale put me on to your work, I've followed your postings. Good to see someone else creating images with a larger format sensor. I fancy the RXBAR we get here in the States. Although, a little Biltong goes a long way without adding much weight to your bag. Keep smiling.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

@@johnjtoth7633 Thanks for the following and support buddy. it is that very thing that keeps me going with the creation of this content on here. Although i shoot with the 44/33 snesor - Im still tempted to go to the even larger Hasselblad h6D100C, or at least the H5D60 CMOS. Its heavier though! Aaargh. LOL Thanks for the feedback and stay well. Ewan

[@JaypeaFoto]

What a crazy road and beautiful place.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

That is ( not a colourful place, but) a mesmerising location! Kind regards, Ewan

[@johnbentley1056]

I always look forward to your videos Ewan. Fantastic videography and stunning images. It's such a beautiful location. I love the Queenstown area and hope to return after the COVID mess settles down and we can travel once more. Stay safe and I look forward to your next video. Cheers.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey JOhn, I appreciate that mate. I think i am settling onto my documentary style with very flat and purposefully flat video profile, making it more analogue, than something high contrast. Hope it comes across as softening the interface a bit between the video footage and the viewer. Longing for no COVID! Cheers John, Ewan

[@DflyDude]

Another great video and lessons for enjoying the shoot no matter what.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks man... Yup, no such thing as a a bad photo shoot.. within reason of course. The time i nearly drowned taking this shot here.. www.flickr.com/photos/eos1969/33432031305/in/dateposted/ THAT would have gone down as a BAD photoshoot! LOL. Best regards, and thanks for your support! = ) Ewan

[@grantnewton5705]

Excellent video and nice to see the 2 contrasting images from different photographers at the same location - great example of how each of us is different in our interpretation of what we see.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Grant. Thank you very much. its always interesting to see thst and to watch us both set about setting up completely differently too! Best wishes. Ewan

[@paulwayman5137]

Superb stuff as always Ewan. Great to see you two together (Besties, ha ha). You have a style that is nothing like anyone else's. That is what makes it stand out. Just you and your mate Brett, and me. Stood on a hillside, shooting a pano. It doesn't get better than that mate.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Morning Paul. Thanks for that mate. I enjoyed this shoot, and good to have you along too! I try and make these vids, like you are actually there. hoping it works, as its inportant for what m trying to do with the channel. Kind comments indeed Paul. Regards, Ewan

[@gransha3]

Thanks Ewan, nice.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Ian... Thank YOU! Your lens continued to do well huh! = ) Regards, Ewan

Another great video Ewan, and great to see you out with Brett as well. I do miss those moody NZ skies (they were certainly very moody on our visit!). Sam.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Sam and Hannah. Hope you are both well. Thanks very much and yes, they were heavy but very blue in colour temp. Difficult to work with! Got your email, Ill respond soon! Regards, Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages no worries Ewan, apologies for sending you a bit of an essay 😆!

[@alanpinn2266]

Another great video Ewan - and great to see you out with Brett! What an incredible location - but I think I'll take a pass on driving that road. I love the shots and colour palette in these images. Well done mate. Keep up the great work!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks Alan, much appreciated mate. Yeah - the road... is sketchy at best! LOL here's a c;ip frm a mate driving it in his 4wd kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaqrc36prbSil9U

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

"Pretty Cool Eh" should be your..."m Appy Wi That" LOL! I have to say, you had some pretty poor conditions, which would have had most photographers running a mile back to the comfort of home but like you say, it's about being there. I still think you rocked it at the end with that last pano though. Always nice to see and hear you at work buddy!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

LOL, thanks Simon. Maybe i should do 'merch' with that on! ... Maybe not! This was a place i wanted to get to for some time and i recently drove that road.... Hole smokes, its tight, especially in a Landcruiser. I did it in the pouring rain, and was really nervous about driving back over it as it was a dead end. Thanks for your feedback Simon, and the comment. Always means a lot coming from you buddy. Regards Ewan

[@tonygaskins565]

Another absorbing video, the images are first class, and you've made the most of the light.

A grand vista toward Skippers Canyon. Always nice to see you at work! some time ago I found a VLOG of a young man with his x4 wheel drive negotiating that road....very brave indeed, I'd never attempt it. Hope your getting some freedom to move about.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks very much Phil. Lovely spot huh! I drove that recently in Landcruiser, and it was just about too wide a wheel base at one point in the pouring rain. Not sure i would attempt it again! = / Regards, Ewan

[@PMCN53]

@@EwanDunsmuirImages You’re a brave man! Brett & I first saw that view on a photography tour with Glenn Mckimmin in 2014. Cheers 🍻

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

@@PMCN53 - yuh! I drove there and there is simply no way of turning back, particularly as you get nearer to the bridge at the end. Nerve wracking!

[@Noeline999]

Another great video! Nice to see you and Brett together. On a side note, an awesome thing about trekking around in NZ nature is there are no snakes 😊. I tend not to go out bush much here in Australia in the warm weather.

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Thanks Noeline. True that -,but we do get earthquakes!!! = ) Regards, Ewan

Hi Ewan, it was a pleasure for me to watch how you work your composition an the location. I really like both images. I´m looking forward to your next video!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hi Thomas. Many thanks buddy. The forst image of course, being Bretts image, the pano (of course) - mine! = ) I enjoyed shooting this. Regards, Ewan

[@robingrant8082]

Hi Ewan. I decided to watched this vlog on the TV to get the advantage of scale and I am glad that I did. Why you don't have 50k or many more subscribers always intrigues me. Thank you for making your wonderful vlogs which are unique in my opinion. Kind regards - Robin

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Morning Robin. These are kind words and im glad you managed to watch it to make the best of it. = ) Ill get more subscribers one day. Just need to keep chipping away, but do try to make these a little different to other creators. Hope that comes across. Thanks for watching and the interaction. Kind regards, Ewan

[@laurelb8372]

Love watching you two work your composition. Could you talk about the slider you use or is it a gimbal

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hi there. Thanks very much. This is Sliding Nodal rail. It measures 300 mm and is like a great big long Arca plate, which fits into cold shoe of the Tripod head. I only have extra long one as i use longer lenses for the panos. I also have a double sided clamp with the silver knobs on it. This simply connects the rail, to the arca base plate on the camera. You could connect the rail directly to the camera, but i wanted flexibility that could be adjusted easily. Rail - www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=300mm+arca+rail&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=+arca+rail&_osacat=0 Double clamp - www.ebay.com/itm/313324245621?hash=item48f3949275:g:uf0AAOSwKF1cnkAM&autorefresh=true Hope that helps!

Great to see another video. Interesting to hear your thought process and how you set up the image.
