[@by.othman]

Cant signup for the free photo editing video series. it says once we put in the email..."Oops. Something went wrong. Please try again later..."

[@DaveMorrow]

Hi Bob. Sorry to hear that. Give it another try. All of the other emails are going through okay. If it doesnt work, just shoot me an email at [e-mail] I'll add it manually:) Enjoy the day! Dave

[@rternowski]

Absolutely love your videos. Going to the Grand Canyon this August. Hiking down and staying 2 nights at the Phantom Ranch Great teaching, hope to use your tips there!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Rob:) TIP: Hike down from the North side, it's not as busy! Enjoy the trip

[@by.othman]

Many thanks, Dave. Appreciate it so much.

[@Hangs4Fun]

Ummm, I clicked on this video to see your long exposure, which i got. But.. to my surprise, you did one of THE best walk throughs of how you compose this kind of a shot. Let me tell you, that is not easy to do in a way that teaches a useable technique, but you did it. I find the techical aspects of photography (like long exposures) to be fairly easy. But what eludes me, what is the hardest to learn for me, is composition. I've watched hours and hours of composition this and thats. And i learned more about composition and tricks from a small section of your long exposure video, than i have in the others combined! Makes me wonder what other gems exist buried in your videos like this. I really like your style. Similar education and career backgrounds, and how we both stride to have efficient processes that become muscle memory freeing us for other more important tasks (like composition) is likely the reason. But I'm really thankful for the time you've taken to not only film all this, but to methodically break things down and share the knowledge to help us gain skills and build our own repeatable process that leads to taking better photographs. Thank you so much. Have a greay day!

[@DaveMorrow]

That's great! I always talk off the top of my head, so there is probably more stuff in the other vids as well. Enjoy!

[@heathcee4910]

I just love your passion for photography and your landscape - and really appreciate all the information and tips that your provide. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome Heath! Enjoy the day buddy

[@extremelydave]

Dave, it is SO nice to get tips from someone who walks the walk...... and makes me SEE again. I have no issue trying to emulate someone who does the footwork to show me ways I can up my game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge AND the great scenery!!!

[@cyphicle]

You really know your D810 to its limits. A lot to learn just watching your videos. Great job.

[@DaveMorrow]

I appreciate that!

[@paulwhalen4672]

Thanks Dave. Your photography and techniques are excellent and truly awesome. Even after 50+ years of photography I can still learn ~ especially from such a good teacher, thanks for sharing. Cheers Paul.

[@untamepet196]

I like even more the serenity that you exude by placing yourself within the very long exposures, days long, of your landscapes. This is an understated mission that resonates with me; and I think brings life these videos. I enjoyed our hike.

[@DaveMorrow]

Appreciate the feedback & really glad you enjoyed the vid. I'm going to start recording more of my longer trips!

[@tobyjugg6202]

Just found your KZbin channel/tutorials - great stuff young man. I'm getting composition ok but working on improving my settings BEFORE I get into Lightroom ( at which I'm a newbie ) - anyways, thank you for the considerable time & effort you go to to bring the enjoyment of being "out there".

[@DaveMorrow]

Hey Toby. You're welcome. These will help you out for shooting technique: www.davemorrowphotography.com/photography-fundamentals and here is the entire list of my videos: www.davemorrowphotography.com/landscape-photography-journals Enjoy buddy!

[@sueb9064]

Thanks, Dave! You are an artist who uses a camera very creatively to manifest your vision. Kudos!

[@DaveMorrow]

That's a good way to put it. I like it!

[@NicholasEJones]

Great vlog, really interesting looking forward to next weeks, totally changed my way of taking photos since i signed up, cant belive i never used back button focus before

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks buddy. Good to hear that!

[@agentaxe]

Mr. Morrow i love your photos so much!Actually,you remind me of oldschool photographers!You could easily be part of the National Geographic!Wish you the best and continue what you do best!!!

[@michaelbecker4396]

Such a beautiful location and you didn´t see and feel it´s magic. I wished i was there.

[@MLC48]

Thank you for being so generous with sharing your knowledge; I use your camera flow all the time now and it really frees me up to think about the composition more.

[@DjCjFoto]

Your approach, consistency and passion are unmatched....I'm really enjoying watching you're videos!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks!

[@jamesallan9817]

Hi Dave, I just came across some of your KZbin tutorials by accident but have to say I'm very impressed with your knowledge & skill with regards to landscape photography. I have signed in to your web page and am really learning a lot from you. I'm not really a landscape photographer myself however by just watching what you do makes me feel that I might have a go sometime soon by following all your good tips. Keep up the excellent work that you do. Regards Jim.

[@DaveMorrow]

Hey James. Landscape is addicting. Watch out! Glad you like the vids:)

[@reyreyes3472]

Thanks for sharing not only your adventures but also your techniques.

[@williamdobson2424]

Thanks Dave. As always very useful information. Laid up here after a foot op and can't wait to get out in the bush again, and to try some of the techniques you have taught here. Keep well, keep safe.

[@larrywales358]

Thanks Dave for all the tips you share. I have a ways to go with my shooting/editing. I look at it as a new day and just keep going forward.

[@Dwaindibbley1]

Another excellent vlog. Love your method of teaching and I have learnt so much. You have a very blessed life which I think many of us can only dream of doing, never give up and never forget your talent and your amazing gifts. Now I'm off to my office job :-(

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Shane. I don't' agreed with your "blessed" comment. You're selling yourself short with that mindset! If it's worth it to you, you can change your life. I live the way I do because I have a complete plan for where I want to go, 1-5-10 years, broken down into the smallest possible steps. I get up and work at those steps everyday. I trust myself and my gut, even when I fail and keep working at that plan year after year, everyday. You're just seeing the 10 minutes of those 10,000 hours of work that went into building the lifestyle you see. Luck plays a roll in all success, constant hard work plays a much bigger one. You never get lucky if you're not up early, constantly driving towards your goal, living those small steps that get you there, everyday. Design the life you want. Get up and work at it everyday. Don't listen to people that say you can't do it. In 10 years you'll have a life that you completely control, your "dream". Those 5-10 years of work, where you have no large success & get beat down everyday, is the entry point to living how you want, that most people give up during and fail to cross. The question is, how bad do you want it? Show less

[@lestermiller8544]

I enjoy your adventures and learn something from each one. Thanks Dave!

[@skiprope536]

Another great video. Can't thank you enough. It beats reading.

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad you enjoyed all the vids, Skip!

[@thorstenwestheiderphotogra7722]

Best tutorials hands down, keep recommending this channel to fellow photographers.

[@DaveMorrow]

Hi Thorsten. Thanks so much for telling others. That's such a big help to me. Thank you so much!

[@dodgermel2812]

Thank you for being so generous with sharing your knowledge with us Dave

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome!

[@adolfodominguez9496]

Greeat video, Dave!! It's exciting how many details you have to consider and you explain so clearly. So it would be great to have a Question/answer style video to take more advantage of your experience. Thanks and keep doing this good job.

[@HeartPumper]

Man, your stuff is so awesome!!! I'm learning so much from your creative process, skills, planning and overall life approach!! Massive kudos & thanks for what are you doing. That's so good!! 🙌. And l'm not even trying to describe beauty of the nature, your mind & photo tools are 'conveying' to us! That's pure, stunning beauty!! Thank you so much & keep up the excellent work!👏

[@DOM_4GOOD]

Love the explanations and the way that you easely point exactly what we need to look with your finger! 👍🏻

[@GarethDanks]

Really good vid mate. It’s a great technique if you have the time to experiment. I get stuck using my “go to” shutter speeds if I don’t have time to slow down and experiment. Which is a shame. Less rushing needed 😊👍🏻

[@DaveMorrow]

Appreciate it Gareth!

[@jvonemolap0921]

very nice my friend. such a lovely place. i want to go there now!!! nice video. keep it up!

[@stevecook1404]

Thanks for all your hard work making these videos. And thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Wish you all the best!

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome Steve.

[@michaeleastwood6755]

Enjoy your but it's way above my level learnt alot..thank you.

[@FlyingCatPro]

Thanks for another great video Dave. Again, from this video, I have learnt some new tips and techniques to incorporate into my shoots.

[@SandraBassin]

Love this one too! So much to see and learn- thanks for sharing your knowledge and your adventures!

[@brianmacdonald4144]

Superb videos Dave!Have helped me so much.

[@willgerbig872]

Can't wait for more, I have learned so much in a short time with your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@valarezoo]

I am so happy I found your youtube channel and website. I am a big fan already. Thanks for all the good job!!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Juan. Glad to hear it:)

[@LMR65]

Enjoying the detail you go through in each of your videos. Thanks.

[@savvasm5]

Great video Dave! Very informative as always! Could you make in the future a video with your technique in Astrophotography and suggest your light panels (if you use). Keep inspiring us!!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks for the idea! Appreciate it:)

[@TUeltzen]

Interesting idea. I never thought to take multiple photos of moving water to blend together later.

[@chriskatsou5483]

Υou have the talent to teach my friend. thanks.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Chris. I really appreciate that.

[@JonHarting]

Love your videos, man. Curious to see how you blend areas of the water together and keep continuity between the currents 🌊

[@georgegraham4851]

Hey Dave super vlog and so enlightening. I love water and living in Scotland there are numerous opportunities for river shots. I have some great shots but feel they just lack something and on watching your video these shots came to mind and i now realise what i should have been doing. I have also recently started using your hyperfocal focusing technique and i now shoot with confidence knowing tack sharp images from front to back is guaranteed. Thanks for the inspiration mate and keep up the good work.

[@DaveMorrow]

That's good to hear, George. You're welcome!

[@sornberg]

Another interesting vlog. I will have to try the multi-shutter speed technique next time. Thanks Dave.

[@50Acres]

I really liked that first composition with the series of rocks leading out, when you were moving the camera up and down.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks! Did you build out your cabin? That looks awesome. I grew up in a house my Dad built out in the woods.

[@50Acres]

Hi Dave, yea, I am building it myself, it's been loads of fun. I'll hopefully be able to work on it in the next few weeks and make a couple more videos. Keep up the good work I really like your channel.

[@DaveMorrow]

That's so cool. Good for you! That's something that I'd like to do eventually as well. I'll check out your new vids when you post them! Enjoy the day:)

[@50Acres]

You should definitely do it, will be nice to have a quiet place to relax in between adventures. I'm been working on this since 2012, I'm going so slow because it's so peaceful sometime I go down there and end up just hiking around and sitting by the fire.

[@billonthehill9984]

I enjoy your composition techniques Dave, straight forward, relatively easy to understand as you visually show and explain it with care... The (STR) technique using the histogram, but avoiding the "blinkies" is of tremendous value knowing in advance what you will be doing in post processing to bring the highlights back down and the beauty of this technique is the shadow areas are better illuminated before going into post. I have only managed to catch your most recent videos and my thinking is you don't use much in the way of CPL's, graduated filters, super stoppers, etc? Thanks much for sharing your experiences on the trail with & without the camera... Bill Farr, aka, Bill on the Hill... :-)

[@MrWomz]

Dave, your commitment to great landscape photography is inspiring :)

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Jo. Appreciate it.

[@jaybrown4526]

Wow! Some pretty advanced stuff here!

[@blivieriphoto]

Another great video Dave. Wish I had seen this before my trip to the Smoky Mountains last year. Now I've got to find some moving streams here in the flatlands of Florida so I can try this.

[@patgristi6458]

Hi! very interesting video (as usually) showing the way to come back home with the best shots, making the post processing much easier. I long for the next ones! Thanks a lot for sharing with us, my hat down for that!

[@DaveMorrow]

you're welcome

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Thank! Dave. I always remember at KZbin.😍😍👌 Dave.

[@scotty4418]

Tuesday night is now a must see night, as you are like the photographer's sen-sei. So much to learn but learning so much from following your videos each week. Went out last week along my local river for the purpose of trying to nail the sharp image using back button focus. Guess I will be back out trying out the techniques youve shared in this week's video. Do you find you need to make manual focus adjustments a lot after using the the back focus technique or is it certain conditions require it more than others. As always Dave....great learning from you

[@robertbellomy2]

Hi Dave, I really enjoy watching your videos and find them very insightful. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Robert

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Robert!

[@tomthunem3444]

I am beginning to gather my backpacking gear for my own backwoods adventures here in Idaho. Dave, I couldn't help noticing the sign at the beginning of the video talking about the 4-legged critters to watch out for. What do you take along with you to help in the event you cross paths with a bear or other animal?

[@Snowcatnz2]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your technique, it has certainly made me think about my own technique and what I need to do to improve my photography 👍👍👍👍

[@DaveMorrow]

I'm always thinking the same way, learn & improve. Never ending cycle.

[@e047e047]

You are doing some Great work and I appreciate it very much!

[@JohnGilbert49]

Another great video. Looking forward to part two of this video.

[@jillndaz]

Fantastic information and detail and presentation as usual. keep em coming Dave

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad you enjoyed:)

[@daviddressel4189]

Another good one Dave and perfect timing. I was just planning a day trip to shoot some falls, i'm going to give this a try! thx

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Dave. Let me know how it worked for ya!

[@ewelinap221]

Brilliant. Thank you Dave.

[@mikebavington5853]

Hi Dave, I find your videos so helpful and informative.They are well paced and the structure BB is excellent. I only joined the channel a few weeks ago. Just signed up for newsletter. Thanks for producing all this content for a newbie to landscape photography.👍. Mike

[@DaveMorrow]

That's great! Thank you.

[@bobswezey7452]

very good Info. looks like a overcast day ............

[@wilfswanderings]

I Love the look of your country, stunning ....

[@DaveMorrow]

The more I travel, the bigger it gets:) Thanks Glenn!

[@edrobbins3133]

Beautiful....great stuff, Dave...if only there was a parking lot next to that stream...I mean...I have a D810 and a 14-24...ugh...I need to become a bon vivant...Ken Kesey with the Nikon Trilogy

[@martinhogarth3862]

Super teaching Vlog, I love the way you describe the process of taking the image, I use Nikon so the camera setting is similar to mine , I have an older camera D300s but its a good camera for my needs, keep them coming...martin ( in the UK )

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Martin!

[@hollymasepohl8276]

Another great video, thanks for the tips on long exposure photos

[@Nivenization]

Thank you.

[@nuklearpuppy]

Glad I found your channel. Very inspiring 👍👍

[@HV71851]

Really good information, thank you for sharing!

[@No2theBS]

Great technique thanks for sharing

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome Rob!

[@Axis23]

Excellent tutorial videos What is the reason to use the Aperture mode for the shots instead of the Normal mode? ... Thanks for sharing your videos and knowledge

[@pamelakeach2849]

I've learned a lot from these videos. Thanks!!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thats great. you're welcome Pamela

[@lindamarquette7351]

Love your work and videos. Its an amazing journey you are on and to share all is this is so appreciative. I was just wondering if you use filters much for your long expposure water?

[@dougvarvil6435]

You are the best photography instructor on you tube. Keep up the good work.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks. That's a high compliment. I'll take it:) Much appreciated

[@DJVTEK1]

Man this reminds me the Salomon River upstate NY . great stuff but I wouldn't stay overnight like this due to my biggest fear... The bears just freaking me out

[@paulus0109]

Great video again Dave. Thanks

[@zhucloud6340]

very good videos, thanks

[@leosmithphoto847]

Awesome!

[@pierrewakim4885]

Hi Dave. Thank you so much for all these tutorials, they're greatly appreciated. I have a question regarding the hyperfocal distance. Why would you need to focus in different areas if the hyperfocal is correct and the image is sharp from the 1st shot? Thank you.

[@tskcthulhu]

thanks for the video and PDFs.

[@perryhoward5064]

Please share where this was shot... place is stunning !

[@lylestavast7652]

great instructional - thanks.

[@godfish67]

Dave, Thanks for showing the photo :) so satisfying, Can't wait to see your edit, I may have missed it but I didn't hear where you camped?

[@DaveMorrow]

haha. I still remember your last comment. I never state where I am, online, for environmental reasons. I've seen too many eco systems ruined in becoming internet known "photography hotspots". Nothing against you:)

[@alexjeong7438]

love all your video, Dave...what kind of ND filter are you using and what's your recommandation?

[@colinhothersall8343]

Brilliant as usual. Thanks

[@tomthunem3444]

Couldn't help noticing the sign at the beginning of the video talking about the 4-legged critters to watch out for. What do you take along with you to help in the event you cross paths with a bear or other animal?

[@spearfish25]

Have you had trouble with blending exposures after changing apertures between shots? The 14-24 is supposedly prone to focus shift when you change aperture.

[@DaveMorrow]

Next video in the series covers it:)

[@steinr98]

Dave: I really enjoy your journals!! Your explanations are very detailed even tho I am an advanced amateur. Always fun to see how someone else does it!! One BIG question.. Are you selling these shows or how do you make a living giving away "Free" videos? I'm not complaining in the least, but was just curious! Keep up the great work!!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks! See my pinned comment on the bottom of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3u3YZybbM13jbs

[@mpactdesignmedia]

Where in Washington was this shot? The forests and rivers of the Pacific Northwest are amazing.

[@KenToney]

Awesome video, will share Channel and website with our club!

[@DaveMorrow]

Hi Ken. Thanks buddy. Enjoy your day:)

[@harris-design]

Another great video. Will you make, or have you made a video on why you shoot in Aperture priority a lot, rather than Manual?

[@DaveMorrow]

Yup. I will make one! I shoot both, situation depending. 99% AP mode.

[@Higgins_Nature_Photographer]

Very good info, well done Dave

[@TEDIELTS]

You say in your intro that you only shoot on GoPro. What do you use for sound, as it sounds a lot better than the GoPro mic?

[@freddiehicks7545]

Have a question about your D-810, was wanting to know about the base ISO you seem to use of 100 and curious why not 64? Your videos are fantastic.

[@margaretmartin9175]

Always so informative. My question is. When shooting with your Tripod in flowing water how do you stabilise it? I always seem to get some movement even when the water is calm?

[@DaveMorrow]

I don't Just check the sharpness after each image.

[@rosiesamuel8562]

Thanks, so much Dave...

[@DaveMorrow]

you're welcome!

[@garygroves761]

Hi Dave just found you on KZbin. Watched a few vids so far and thought they were great. I wanted to see how you blended the shots from the river video I just watched, where can I view it please. Best Wishes, Gary aged 72 from Wales in the UK. Love waterfalls and use the Nikon D810.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks for the sub!

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Great Vlog, Dave.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Always remember! Dave.

[@alemalba1600]

Top video Dave, just subscribed !

[@MukeshKumar-id5sb]

Wonderful information!!!

[@cidfidchris]

Hey Dave.. great video again! Are u ever using nd filters?

[@davejohn5876]

Excellent video Dave! This video is the first time I’ve noticed you using and ISO setting of 64, you seem to favor a base ISO of 100. I’ve just purchased my first Nikon dslr after switching from another brand and I was under the impression that now having a camera with base ISO of 64 was a nice plus as fare as sharpness goes. Can you provide us with a heads-up with the pros and cons? Thanks.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks! The ISO video is created and in the queue. Coming soon:)
