Lofoten, Norway - Part 2/2

[@MrTwogiantscoops]

Superb locations and very informative. Sounds like you have to go with the flow with the weather conditions. The random landslide story made me smile.

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Cheers Chris. You'll absolutely love it when you eventually visit. As for the landslide/avalanche, thank heavens that I wasn't on the wrong side of it or I would have been stranded there for 24 hours, lol.

Nice to meet you in Leknes the other day. Enjoy your videos. love the laughter! cheers, Colin

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Hey Colin. It was great to meet you too, however briefly. I hope you had a wonderful time in Lofoten. It's one hell of a place isn't it? Have a great 2020 and I hope that you have many more trips planned. Until next time, continued happy discovering :-)

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Really enjoyed both parts Melvin, Great job Mate

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Hey Darren. Many thanks for saying from someone who films a lot of videos. I'll do a couple more when in New Zealand and Australia. I'm jetting off on Wednesday for a month so plenty of opportunity to film me photographing some amazing locations. The scenery is spectacular.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Melvin Nicholson Photography excellent I’m sure you’ll kick ass there also

Impressive vlog Melvin - nearly 6 years since I was there - must get back soon

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Thank you very much Gordon. Lofoten and Norway in general is a stunning place and one that I always love to revisit. I hope that you manage to return soon :-)

[@gordondryden6266]

Excellent as usual Melvin. Great photography and video presentation. Good comedian too!! ;)

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Thank you Steve. That's very kind of you to say. I shall look to creating more vlog content over the summer months. Stay safe and sane Steve :-)

[@stevemack60]

Thanks, Melvin, As far as I am concerned you are the best photographer by far on KZbin. Look forward to your new videos. Too late for the sane bit!! Take care matey!!

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

@@stevemack60 You're too kind Steve. Thank you very much indeed. No pressure on me then, lol. As for the sane bit, I became a lost cause a few years ago when I spent three years training to become a nurse, ha. ha. Take care too Steve and see you on the other side :-)

@@melvinnicholsonphotographycom Hey Melvin, really great content and enthusiasm with your presentation. Which month would you recommend for photography in Lofoten?

[@kevinfrench9896]

Top vlogging Melvin, thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. Hopefully you will be more regular with more to follow.

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Thank you Kevin. I'm so pleased you enjoyed them. I aim to film a few more this year now that I have a decent editor putting them together. I love the filming on location bit but am less enthusiastic about editing them at home, ha, ha.

[@xavierbeaudoux]

Beautifull conditions, great shots and videos Melvin 👍

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Thank you very much Xavier. Have a great day and many thanks for commenting. Best wishes Melvin

[@jbairdexp]

Nice work there Melvin. Just watched both parts. Great levels of enthusiasm as always! What a place though....as if my bucket list wasn't long enough already! lol

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Thank you very much Julian. I'm generally not short on enthusiasm, just sleep, ha, ha. Get yourself gone to Lofoten during the winter months. It's truly stunning :-)

[@jbairdexp]

@@melvinnicholsonphotographycom Sounds amazing. I don't need any encouragement just money to pay for an au pair! lol

[@baas3652]

Very interesting and good video! The images was great too :) Try to look more into the camera next time ;) Keep up the good work :)

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Thanks Baas. Yes the camera has a flip out screen which sits to the side of the camera. As a result, I tend to look at the screen rather than the lens as I can see where I am placing myself within the frame. This has me look slightly to off centre. Annoying I know, lol.

[@baas3652]

@@melvinnicholsonphotographycom It's not a big deal. Interesting video anyway :)

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

After your video and a couple other reviews I bought the Benro TMA48CXL I have an amazing leveler on it and I bought some long spikes but I have not fitted them yet. I see you have yours on in this video. Do you have them on all the time and if so how do you get on with the sand and sea

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Hi Paul. Ah, the Benro TMA48CXL is a beauty isn't it? In answer to your question, I leave my 4.7" spikes on all the time and if I am shooting on a very soft beach, I pop a blank compact disc under each leg to prevent them from sinking in. The discs are cheap, flat and easy to transport and of course the spike locates straight through the hole in the middle. There you go, another tip for you, lol.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

That’s great to know. Can you let me know where you get your spikes from I have some I think 3” but these were eBay jobs not sure about them

[@melvinnicholsonphotographycom]

Hi Paul. I bought mine from ebay. Order three for a set of three despite what the sales info suggests. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332584614864?ul_noapp=true Or if you're in a hurry or prefer higher quality. 3 Legged Thing sell some too. www.fotosense.co.uk/3-legged-thing-stilettoz-spikes-set-of-3.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5J_mBRDVARIsAGqGLZA8KqkjT23Crpa0B8gQLPTw_AlucxQJM93999NytmcFjwZt_ijfGzgaApJ2EALw_wcB#fo_c=77&fo_k=b0a85550a72f200b47962481c04341ff&fo_s=gplauk
