Landscape Photography - Panoramic photo, image composition and settings

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

Andrew I appreciate that you share your knowledge with camera settings etc, and your laid back approach, so refreshing. Great images. Well done

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Brian, I appreciate you letting me know how much you enjoy the videos mate. I love sharing my approach so I will continue to do so in future videos.

[@SoloVagant]

This series just keeps getting better and better Andrew, all the elements just work .... Thanks for taking the time to put theses together for all of us photography enthusiasts.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Dave, really appreciate your comments mate. It's my pleasure, your feedback motivates me to create more.

[@andrewwarner6677]

Beautiful vd Andrew. You need to re visit in spring when all the white lilies are out. Great images too.

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Andrew, I'd love to get back there in spring. I may not be able to get there this year, but I might pencil it in for 2018, thanks mate! :)

[@steveh1273]

you found some beautiful subjects in beautiful light and you were fortunate enough to capture the moment. Makes me want to go back to that area of "down under" again. Thanks for the sharing.

[@Andrew_marr]

No worries Steve, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts mate. Hopefully you'll get the chance to get back there soon! :)

[@steveh1273]

the beach and lighthouse near Augusta is very photogenic. I was there in a strong rain and gales, unfortunately.

[@Andrew_marr]

Shame the weather wasn't good for you. We just weren't down there long enough to get to Augusta...hopefully next time!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Great series of images here Andrew. Those trees are amazing and nothing like we get here in the UK. I really liked the shot with the road in frame too. Really added to the story of the area.

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Adam, it's only a small pocket of forest but it so magical walking through that area. The trunks of the Karri trees almost glow in just a little bit of light. Thanks for your comment mate!

[@TimTheus]

love this video and the music that you chose. Such a beautiful place and sweet panoramas! Thank you for doing this!

[@Andrew_marr]

My pleasure, thanks for your feedback and kind comments. Glad you enjoyed this!

[@davidsweet8837]

I like your use of the Mavic to show a different perspective of the area and the scene that your are photographing.

[@Andrew_marr]

So glad your enjoying the Mavic footage, as it's so much fun to fly. I enjoy the perspective it provides to the videos as well, it's my favourite part of editing! Thanks for sharing your feedback. :)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Beautiful part of the world, thanks for sharing Andrew!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Adam, this area is only small, but it is wonderful! :)

[@StefanRows]

Was looking forward to watch this the whole day already, finally the time has come :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, hope this met your expectations. Thanks so your comment! :)

[@davidthomas670]

Andrew hi, I would have walked past those scenes without a second though, now i know to take my time and look, thank you.

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, the forest looks messy and confusing at first, but I just took my time and gradually the compositions started to appear. Thanks for sharing your comment!

[@JeremyCalow]

Looks like a great trip out! I really dig the second crop on the second image. Really like the offset of that "foreground" trees left of centre.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Jeremy, I think that was my favourite as well. It was the one I used (again with a tighter crop) for the thumbnail of the video. Thanks for your feedback mate! :)

[@HowardHearne]

The road shot turned out very nice. Story book feel.

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey thanks Howard, appreciate you leaving a comment. I'm a sucker for a good curved leading line, cheers! :)

[@Snowcatnz2]

Wow those pano's really pop. That last image is awesome. Love your stuff.

[@Andrew_marr]

I think the last image was better because the sun was coming from a better angle which brought out colour in the trees. Thanks Tim!

[@billonthehill9984]

Tim Blake, I whole heartily agree! The leading line on the final shot of the winding road is simply off the charts with stunning contrast...

[@103703878]

Class! Your channel is becoming the best photography channel on KZbin! Excellent work!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos, it motivates me to create more.

[@pbreeson]

I didn't really realize the size of the trees until the drone shot with you and your son in it. Great, inspiring video!

[@Andrew_marr]

Interesting point, and I probably wouldn't have shared that perspective unless I had the Mavic Pro. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Peter!

[@robcoates4394]

Beautiful forest, fabulous images! Very inspirational and I love the drone interludes. This will probably be my next destination for a photo jaunt.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Rob, appreciate the kind and supportive feedback mate. It's well worth the trip, I hope you manage to capture an image! :)

[@hello1237874]

You are getting better with each video Andrew. Keep up the great work and thanks for the effort!

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Jay, I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Glad you're enjoying the videos and it's great you can see an improvement! :)

[@ms01rci]

This is a great video. Not only that it's very well put together but is also very relatable. I always struggle finding something interesting to photograph in the forest; and grand compositions... even harder. Sometimes it feels so endless and repetitive that I go to the end of the trail and just stay there and appreciate the silence for a solid half hour.

[@wylie_photo]

Great video of a great location, with great images as well! Nice work.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Mark, appreciate you letting me know. It's one of my favourite location in WA, no doubt I'll be back there soon! :)

[@grantcullen6066]

Just found you Andrew. Love your measured, considered and relaxed delivery as well as the care you take in explaining in detail what you do. You obviously love your photography and the places in which you practise it. Nice soundtrack too.

[@markharris5771]

As always a brilliant video, with great drone shots of a beautiful coast. Fantastic idea showing alternative crops, in situations like that I struggle deciding where to start and once I've started moving looking for a shot I find it harder. The shot of the road at the end was stunning, very well done indeed.

[@leannegeisler1263]

Beautiful video and photos Andrew.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you very much Leanne! :)

[@peggydavis5137]

I'm loving your work!

[@Andrew_marr]

I really appreciate that feedback, thanks Peggy!

[@jimhamilton8775]

Brilliant video and images Andrew.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Jim, I appreciate you spending the time looking through some of my older videos mate, cheers! :)

[@philippeguichard5670]

Well done and beautifully captured. I like the second pano crop of the second set the best (@10:46). Always enjoying your video too!

[@Andrew_marr]

That's the same image I settled on as my favourite as well, so used a slightly tighter crop as the thumbnail to the video. Thanks for letting me know! :)

[@abdulazizalghamdi9846]

the colours of your images are stunning!!

[@davidbrown987]

Hi Andrew, loved the video and with a nice change of scenery with some good pano's. Your videos are so interesting that they stand out from the rest so thank you for taking the time - they are well appreciated thanks

[@BrianHorsey]

Fantastic video, Andrew. Reminds me the first time we saw the forest a dozen or so years. The lady in the visitor centre in Margaret River told us to go down the road just saying it was pretty. Driving out of Margaret River we couldn't see the point at first but then round a bend - WOW. My 3Mp Olympus couldn't do it justice. Went through it again 18 months ago in the middle of the day - beautiful to look at but rubbish photos. Hope the packing's coming along!

[@billbaker1406]

great pianos love your work.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Bill, appreciate your feedback mate! :)

[@alanbrunelle1546]

Wonderful images - nice descriptions too

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Alan!

[@georgegraham4851]

Hey Andrew its great to see you back in full flow mate i watched all your recent videos back to back last night and these are just beautiful images. On your previous coastal composition video while driving to the location i noticed the bendy black road with the white lines in the center all surrounded by amazing trees and i was telling you to stop and get the tripod out but you obviously knew what you were doing finishing this video with the s bend road forest shot which is stunning. I've also been out in local woodlands as its bluebell season here in Scotland and have been rewarded with some beautiful shots. Thanks for the inspiration mate and keep up the good work!

[@tryhardpker]

I'm glad this whole landscape niche is exploding on KZbin. been really uninspired to shoot lately do to the weather so I'm always happy to open KZbin to see a new video by the numerous landy mans on utube

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, brilliant...'landy mans', that's the first time I've heard that! It's a nice genre of video and I happy also that it becoming popular. I really enjoy watching what the other lads share. We needs some 'landy ladies' to start creating some! :)

[@jamesmarko1787]

Nice video, Andrew. I liked your second series of panoramas the best. Thanks for sharing.

[@FelixTheG]

A great video thank you :) it was so soothing to watch. The film you took with the drone flying away and looking down on you was a real highlight.!! :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much for your feedback, it's so helpful to know what you enjoyed! :)

[@IanSmissenPhotography]

Hey Andrew, another great video. Really like the different crops of your panos! Cheers, Ian

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Ian, that's the beauty of the stitched pano there are so many pixels, it gives you the freedom to cut it up hundreds ways.

[@nmuguy]

Good images, with excellent explanations!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Phil, appreciate your feedback mate!

[@chloemarguerite7156]

A really nice video - such a beautiful forest and you captured it perfectly with the panoramic shots.

[@jedmagoo2759]

I recently found your channel and am enjoying watching your vlog. Thanks for the tip on using pano in the Kari Forrest. Yesterday I found myself in a similar position with equally stunning mountain ash (In Victoria ) with lush ferns but couldn't find a composition. I didn't think of a pano so thanks for the tip and lesson. Gunna give it another go and see what I get.

[@scotty4418]

great images and the music was great too to provide a gentle and serene vlog. Some skillful flying with the drone too given the size and the density of the trees

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Scotty, I love the drone and I enjoy the extra perspective it brings to the videos. I don't know about skilful but I need to be careful! :)

[@cathyann1601]

Wow! Gorgeous panos, and the shot of the road is outstanding too! Love this video - you give such good information.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Cathryn, I'm pleased you found this helpful. I can't resist a winding road! :)

[@cathyann1601]

Makes me wonder what's around the bend. :)

[@zeitfuersbild]

amazing video and absolutely wonderful pictures.

[@lincolndunstan3057]

I was there two weeks ago (10-06-2021) and stayed at the "Boranup Cottage"! It's a great location in the heart of the forest. Great panos!!

[@garyclarricoates8972]

Absolute stunning images, Andrew. Loved the content of the video.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Gary for your kind feedback! :)

[@colinstalker]

Beautiful images again mate. The drone really gives a great perspective. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a way for all to learn.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Colin, really happy your enjoying the videos and glad you find them helpful. The drone not only provides great footage but is a lot of fun to fly as well! :)

[@smkunder1]

Very nice, relaxing but also informative , which I why I view to learn. Thanks

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Steve, I'm glad you enjoyed the balance of entertainment and Information. Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@andyfromtheuk]

Incredible how you made such beautiful and atmospheric panoramic pictures of the forest floor. Great drone footage too :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Andy, the drone was a challenge to fly amongst the forest, not only was there a risk of crashing the drone into the trees but the signal seemed to cut out a few times...i'm not sure why perhaps there was interference from the trees?

[@andyfromtheuk]

Andrew Marr Glad you didn't damage the drone. Looking forward to the next video mate.

[@Adam-pm1cy]

Smashing images Andrew, really nice all of them!

[@radomirbojic9424]

Greetings Andrew, I like the consistency in your work. All photos through the videos have nice balance....

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Love the way you opened this video, kind of like the last one. I have to say that the coast and the forest really remind me of some areas in California. It's a lot like the Eucalyptus groves in Cali, the brush around the Central Coast and the rocky coastline. Lovely images of the the open forest. I love the way the peeling bark becomes mulch on the forest floor. My personal favorite was the third image with the strong presence of the ferns. I don't know if you ever get fog there but I would love to see the higher angle images (1 & 2) with a bit of mist pooling around those lush ferns. I think you guys are starting to rub off on me. I am considering doing some videos myself. I may contact you with some questions. Cheers.

[@johnbentley1056]

Great video as always. Love the images. Panoramas are one of my favourite formats and this type of subject really suits the format. Well done. I look forward to your next video.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks again John, I share your love of a good pano, I've been doing a few lately. I agree this scene just screamed pano, cheers! :)

[@DaniBojel]

Thanks for the video ... I find bushlands and forests around Perth so messy they are hard to capture ... Nice to see one way of doing it!

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Dani, I must admit I also find the WA bush challenging to capture, but every now and then it can work! :)

[@NigelDanson]

Amazing video - producing footage like this is really difficult and time consuming. My videos take over 5 hours to edit - so I expect this was a massive challenge. Keep it up! :-)

[@TheNeffen]

I think this has to be one of your best videos so far Andrew, beautifully edited with the b-roll and the choice of music! I also loved how quiet it was, and of course, beautiful images, loved this!=)

[@SoloVagant]

I thought the same Steffen .......

[@TheNeffen]

Had to watch it again now, it's what I would call a "feel good" video, really beautiful=)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Steffen, that's very kind of you! I'm very glad you enjoyed so many aspects of the video...and to come back and watch it again...I can't get much better feedback than that, cheers mate!

[@TheNeffen]

You're very welcome mate, I truly enjoyed this one=)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks mate, puts a bit of pressure on the next one!

[@RedSnapper205]

love this video, really inspiring stuff, keep up the quality work.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Tim for your encouragement and kind comments!

[@mazdaram226]

Learnt a lot from your video, going to take my X-T3 into the forests and I’m really excited seeing how you explain what could make a great photo without horizons … top work

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that, I love shooting in the forest. Best of luck! 😀

[@SHOWYOUTHEBEST]

Awesome video..! Great info for someone starting out shooting photography and filming.

[@williamconnell6541]

Nice one, good job Andrew.

[@MrCaliber30]

Great video as always. Nice pictures. Like your channel.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much, great to get that feedback, glad your enjoying the videos! :)

[@RafaVera_gisrave]

Good morning Andrew. Fantastic video, images and panoramic photo! A greeting from spain!

[@Andrew_marr]

Good evening Rafa from Perth! ;) Thanks very much for your lovely feedback.

[@davevowles8093]

Very nice and for me so educational. Thanks

[@Andrew_marr]

Glad you found this one informative, appreciate the support Paul! :)

[@danpatel21]

Fantastic panoramas!! I'm in New Zealand right now and have been itching to get out and get a good shot of the beech trees. Hopefully I can get something anywhere near yours!

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Dan, hope you have an amazing time in New Zealand. It's one of my favourite places in the world, so beautiful, thanks mate!

[@DavidMNewbold]

Very nicely done. I had somehow missed this upload until today. I've hiked through the forests many times and while you made it look easy... I know from my own experience that it can be very difficult to create a composition that doesn't come out looking just cluttered and too busy with distracting elements.

[@whiskeyturner]

Love your work mate

[@BillMcCarroll]

NIce work Andrew.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Bill! :)

[@kyshark1]

Wow what an amazing videography with the most beautiful background music! The final image was amazing too. Loving your work and look forward to many more! Many thanks. Any chance you could post the details of your intro music?

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey thanks Maverick, it always nice to get such positive feedback, very motivating. I'm so pleased your enjoying the videos. I've recently moved to a music service called Epidemic Sounds for the background music, the song I used in this video was 'Serenity's Reality 1 by an artist called August Wilhelmsson. It's beautiful music, the artist has also released some music on Spotify, so you may want to check him out there.

[@kyshark1]

Andrew Marr thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Looking forward to more such amazing videos. I'm learning a lot from you.

[@Andrew_marr]

My pleasure, thanks for your support!

[@Jsfrog]

Andrew - I agree with all the nice comments. Stunning video. You're a good, patient teacher for us. Could I ask what the beautiful music is? It adds a good feeling to the video.

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey thanks Jsfrog, I enjoying talking about the through process I'm going through and I know it can be helpful for others to be taken along that journey. I've recently moved to a music service called Epidemic Sounds for the background music, the song I used in this video was 'Serenity's Reality 1' by an artist called August Wilhelmsson, it's beautiful music. The artist has also released some music on Spotify, so you may want to check him out there.

[@billonthehill9984]

Hi Andrew... I am working my way in reverse viewing your vlogs. I have already picked up on any number of useful tips from your videos. The panoramic's are stunning and at the same time the landscape & those barkless trees look so alien to me coming from the other side of the world in New England, USA, more specific, the highlands of central Vermont... I did a reply to Simon Lynch below concerning the use of or lack thereof of a pano head, quite obviously not necessarily a requirement ( not to mention a weight saver ), based on the beautiful panoramic's you shot! Keep up the good work! Bill @ WGF Studio53

[@Andrew_marr]

Hi Bill, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my previous videos. I'm glad you've found them informative. These trees are wonderful and almost glow golden when the low sun hits them. It's not a large area but certainly beautiful!

[@On3legs]

Nice work mate. You're crushing it!

[@Andrew_marr]

Hey thanks Ben, appreciate your support mate! :)

[@JamesBellLandscapePhotography]

Great video Andrew. Really well put together as usual.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you kindly James, appreciate your feedback mate! :)

[@dylanmcintyre1723]

Hi Andrew, my name is Dylan and I live in Bunbury - south of Perth. I really enjoyed watching your videos and photography.

[@maggyfish]

Very professional great video and images 😁

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Shaun, glad you enjoyed this one! :)

[@BenHorne]

I really enjoyed the video Andrew! Very well done!! I would love to get a drone to add to my videos, but the problem is that I can't fly them at the various places I love to go. That sure does add a great element to the videos.

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Great video, and awesome images as always :)

[@timseward19]

Very well done as always, did you have a favorite of the ones shown?

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Tim, I probably settled on the second crop of the second set of panos I shared. Was there one image you preferred?

[@timseward19]

Hi Andrew,Well, I liked them all, your an exceptional photographer in my book,If I were to choose I would pick the first one in the first set and the first one in the second set. Can't wait for your next vlog.

[@b.peppercorn739]

I very much appreciate you also include exposure data in your videos. Most others do not do that. Thank you

[@Andrew_marr]

More than happy to share that information as I know it can be very helpful sometimes, thanks for your feedback! :)

[@hanscapiau]

Wauw! One day I do need to visit Astralia. #dreaming

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Hans, you should definitely put it on your bucket list!

[@drpallav1]

Great video! as always.. There is always something to learn from it.. One question, I have been following your videos for a while now, I know you are always in favor of EV -0.3, how come it was opposite this time, you were +0.3 EV... I would really appreciate if you could share your thought process.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Pallav, your right I do tend to under expose my shots, as it's much easier to bring out detail in an under exposed digital shot (an overexposure image can't be saved). In this case the forest was quite dark because of the trees and the early light. The exposure indicator was letting me know that I have some sky over exposed, my this didn't worry me as I knew I was going to crop this out once I had stitched the image together. Hope that helps! :)

[@OZZIEMV]

Top notch work once again Andrew, loved the drone shots of you and Lachy. Any chance he will be flying it soon ? ;)

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, the drone footage as it backs away is a nice way to reveal a scene. Lachy has flown the drone before, intact most of the drones shots in the two Esperance videos I shared earlier this year was his work, including the shot of the car driving away at the end. We had some issue with controlling the drone in the forest, I think the signal was effected by the trees, the results was the drone drifted considerably. Good on you for looking out for him though...he likes your comment!

[@galesmith8554]

Andrew, one of your best with an excellent discussion and great examples of how to take panoramas in a forest. However, you did not make any adjustment for the nodal point of your 24-70mm zoom which I know is far forward from the camera base about a third back from the front of the lens. I am sure Objects relatively close like the trees there was considerable parallax that LR can fix but not always without artifacts. I have been using what RRS calls a Nodal slide to get non-parallax images, however your forest panoramas look excellent so maybe this is no longer an issues when stitching?

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Gale, glad you enjoyed this one. I know this can sometime be an issue, but I've not worried too much about it. I don't many pano images and when I do I tend not to have much in the immediate foreground. I think you're also right in saying that Lightroom does an excellent job in stitching the image together. Thanks for your comment Gale!

[@ericjohnston3569]

like the way you style your videos. What tripod heads do you use? Might of missed it in your equipment list.

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Eric, the video side of things is a completely new set of skills for me, but I'm enjoying the creative challenge. I'm so pleased you recognised and enjoy the style, I've just started looking at colour grading some aspects of the video, so thanks for noticing. You are right, I've missed that from the list (I'll need to fix that), it an Induro BHL2s, very similar build to the legs and I'm enjoying using this combination, thanks!

[@bigoz1977]

very nice shots mate. unfortunately my laptop cant handle the processing need to do decent pano shots. maybe once i up grade i can get in to it . but again great shots.

[@Andrew_marr]

Haha, my five and a half year old MacBook started to melt with I was stitching the images together. I had to stop editing the video so it could breath, cheers! :)

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Andrew, just loved your images - fabulous. I suspect you warmed - up the image, giving the images those lovely warm tones. I was so glad when you photographed the ' S ' curve as I saw that scene at the start of your vlog. I have a question for you Andrew??? I have never done a multiple panoramic before and I observed that your focusing point was bang - on in the middle of the scene. My question is: Does the normal rule of focusing one third up from the bottom of the screen (not) come into play when doing a panoramic ??? Once again thank you for sharing ...

[@pjculbertson55]

Gorgeous trees. I always wonder on panos if the nearer objects will be out of focus since you keep the focus the same from scene to scene. I assume on the trees pano, you focused 1/3 into the scene and using F10, all objects had nearly uniform sharpness? Do you try to compensate somehow for scenes having both near, middle and far objects or just let it be what it is?

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much! I set the shot up so the main tree in the shot was about a third in one the left and around a third into the scene. With the camera aimed on that tree, I focused the camera and then din't touch it again. I then set the camera for the first shot and start firing off the shots. You're right with a f-stop of 10 most the scene will be in focus (I suppose that is what I do to compensate the various distances the trees are away from the camera). If I was to have a smaller DoF, I'd just let be. I actually don't mind a little out of focus objects in the distance, if gives a more natural feel to the scene and also lets the main object in focus really pop out in the image.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

First two images with the first crop for both are great. Nice repetition, the eye doesn't linger anywhere, it's balanced. I miss Australia, lived there for 3 years. The S road is less successful, as it's too bright and you can't really see the trees. A nice 4WD track or walking track would have worked better. I also suspect the polariser may have killed the perspective in the forest, despite the S road. The bush on the left foreground for example seems to be flat with the rest of the trees, instead of being in front and the rest of the trees in the back. You stopped there because of the S, but did the forest really seem that striking to you at that position ? It's a lot busy.

[@stevemcrae3307]

Nice Vid and Pics of my favourite part of the world, was thinking while watching, why didn't you use the road as a leading line, then you did :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Steve, mine too. Couldn't go past the 'S' curve of the road, thanks mate!

[@ericjohnston3569]

what mm would one need to get more tree while keeping bottom on same line in pano shot?

[@ynalized7891]

Great video! You have some awesome shots! Is it okay I use some of the panorma shots as examples in my upcoming presentation? :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that, what are you planning on using the shots for?

[@ynalized7891]

Andrew Marr we have a 'movie making' class in school. We have ro talk about alot of theory, like lighting, camera movement, depth and so forth. So I have collected a few examples feom different videos. It is just a simple presentation used in class and will not be published to the public. I will write your KZbin channel as a source :) Thanks for the quick response! PS: I live in Denmark, so I hope my English is up to par!

[@Andrew_marr]

Sounds great, I'd be more than happy for you to use the shots in your presentation. Thanks for asking and all the best with the project.

[@ynalized7891]

Thanks a lot! Great work. Definitely subbing!

[@simonlynch6080]

Awesome results....I did notice that you didn't use a panoramic head, your results suggest to me that maybe panoramic heads aren't essential.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Simon, I tend not to take lots of panoramic images, and when I do I like the results I get with out one. So my philosophy is, if I don't need it, why complicate things with extra equipment. I'm sure there are uses for this sort of things, but I haven't found the need yet!

[@simonlynch6080]

Andrew Marr Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to your next installment.

[@billonthehill9984]

Simon Lynch... From personal exp., the pano head is only as good as the tripod base it sits on, i.e., I use a 229 Super Pro Manfrotto on a Benro with a small center post base. The end result being, by the 3rd frame I am 1/2 bubble off, 4th frame a full bubble off. In a word, useless... When in PS, after stitching, lots of cropping required, which basically leaves one with a narrow panoramic... :

[@philipculbertson55]

The images were great Andrew. I could not believe the shot of the road would come out so nice. I’m always fascinated by how photographers “find the composition.” Do you have a pre-defined protocol you look for or wait until something catches your attention and then work it from there?

[@petermcarthur9140]

brill vid once again

[@CT51423]

Lovely video Andrew and photographs are beautiful as well. Your videography is in par with your photography brilliant stuff. Just a quick question did you get any parallax error at the foreground while stitching the images. I know you levelled the tripod but still just want to know. Many thanks. Cheers !!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Cherag for your kind comments, while the videography is new to me, I'm enjoying the creative challenge. It's great to get your support feedback, I really appreciate it. Regarding the parallax error, there wasn't any I noticed, this could be because of the natural of the shot (it might have been more evident if I was shooting something with more structure like a building). Plus the Lightroom does a brilliant job stitching the images together. Thanks again! :)

[@CT51423]

Thanks Andrew. Looking forward to your next video, it's like receiving a postcard from another country. Cheers !!

[@vikk9596]

Amazing

Hi Andrew, i would like to use the L bracket of sunwayfoto but i have a manfrotto ballhead so it is not a arca swiss type of locking mechanism i want to modify my ballhead but i'm a little bit confused which brand of plate to replace the lock mechanism which brand is yours? Could you possibly suggest me a brand/model for this issue?( I have also d800) BTW your videos are superb please go one rolling video for us i learn a lot from your videos!

Nice work mate. Really enjoying your videos. Was the road bend shot bracketed and blended in photoshop or just lightroom?

nice vlog. are these indiginous forests or man made? your video made me feel that it was shot in Cape Town. lovely shots Andrew. keep then coming.

Thanks mate, the Boranup Forest is a natural forest unlike the Pine Forest I feaured in a video a few weeks ago. From what I can tell from your videos, there are lots of similarities between the Western Australian landscape and that of Cape Town. People we know from South Africa have also commented on the similarities!

[@mujahidurrehman]

Yes, there are a lot of similarities in the coast line. The only indigenous sections of forests in Cape Town area are the ones where the water comes down from the forest, the pine forest and the karri trees are planted by men. Some of the man made forests have been cut down because the pine doesn't let the local flora and fauna grow. Cape Town and surrounding areas are more about the flora and fauna that is found nowhere in the world. Thanks for the reply, your forest is beautiful, one day, I would like to shoot there.

you need a guide to that area. I'm going to have a minor operation to my good eye Thursday, when I can see again I want to go back.

I read about your procedure on Facebook John, all the best, hope everything goes well for you mate!
