7 SIMPLE tips you SHOULD know for AUTUMN PHOTOGRAPHY

[@tyson96]

" Don't think a good view is a good image ", I love this

[@marygaudette3209]

Larch trees turning golden in the fall are one of my favorite. I also love the bright reds of blueberry leaves on the barrens in the fall here in Maine.

[@dannynash5713]

Aspens are the most beautiful tree for me. The white bark and bright yellow leaves are breathtaking and the silver birches are awesome too! Great video!

[@barbarajames4933]

Plus the amazing sound the wind in the leaves makes while filming 🤗

[@jeanpierreguaron9222]

LOL - I do know what you mean, and I envy you - autumn colours are quite fantastic - I grew up with them, but long since left them behind. I now live in sub-tropical climate, with essentially only two seasons and no separate page for either spring or autumn - they are just the shoulder, where the two seasons join, but no particularly wonderful colours, rarely if ever any mist. Your photo at 4:50 is outstanding - be proud! At 5:50 you do something I urge everyone to do - don't just look in one direction - look all around you, try to "see" - it's amazing what images leap out at you, if you only give this a try. Sunset? - don't just stare west - look north - look south - turn around and look behind you - look up above you - there are images, colours, opportunities, all around us - and so few people "look" or "seee"/

5:25 Yes, silver birch is a favourite. Here in Finland I also like the Scots Pine, especially when they get a bit gnarly near coastal rocky outcrops.

[@philiphale7830]

I totally agree silver birch trees are my favorite as well.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Beautiful images man and killer video as always!

[@jammer777]

I like birch and also the old gnarly oak trees. They have so much unique character.

[@mariecruttenden2887]

Hey Nigel, I've been following and liking for years but I've never commented. Gotta say I've appreciated this video! Valuable tips! As a Canadian I can't agree more on the time sensitivity of autumn. One day it can be 20c and the next morning it can be -2 with a foot of snow. Take the shots while you can!

[@DariuszTech]

Drone footage just amazing. Love the tips. Another great video. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@kevinkemputah]

Thanks!

[@celinemorisset5533]

Great tips Nigel! My favourite is # 7, take time on composition. Thanks !

[@RoseKerin]

Its Autumn here in New Zealand. Watching some of your Autumn photos for Inspiration.

[@PracticingPhotography]

Tip 7 was the best tip of all. I had not thought of that perspective. Thanks for your insights.

[@rob9386]

Thanks for another awesome video. Love Sunday so much now.

[@dorothydahli734]

Arbutus trees here on the west coast of British Columbia are a treat to photograph as well :)

[@cinavik]

So, I've watched a LOT of your channel. And I have to say, I've been on KZbin since forever but never once subscribed to anything. Never once "Liked" anything. I didn't want to engage. I've always just come to YT to learn things, and then gone about my day. Your channel is the first one I'm subscribing to. It's fantastic fun, heartfelt, and informative.

[@janetsharp122]

Good for you Cina ...if someone took the time to buy you a present 💝 and you just took it and walked away ..I know you would say Thank you .So for Me a like or subscribe is my way of thanking them for taking the time in making the videos ..have a good day ..x

[@puspanyadewi]

Thank you for your tips, Nigel. I get a lot of knowledge from your video. Have a nice day.

[@Lovo369]

I love that you teach rather than just showing off work like other KZbinrs. Thank you

[@carolinedv8557]

I like the way you show me composition. Thank you!

[@aisaacson5]

Good video as always! Thanks for sharing. One of the tips that has been hitting home for me a lot lately is really needing to slow down when I shoot.

[@Behindstage]

I haven’t been able to travel this year owing to the pandemic and a ear issue but have been able to take pictures like your leaf one, there’s opportunities everywhere you don’t always have to travel, perhaps not being able to travel will make us appreciate when we can.

[@Belginator89]

Aspen are my favorite trees, but for the same reason as the silver Birch!

[@delphinelesterlost3285]

I struggle with contrast and depth when I shoot trees and forests, useful tips

[@StellaDuchessofLondon]

It certainly has been a strange year! Some time in the mountains and wandering lakes is exactly what I need. Off to plan my weekend for just that! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jpro747]

Silver birch and beech trees for me. They’re also great for mushrooms! 🍄

[@DrEye-be3pj]

Wow, what a beautiful landscape !!!!!°😍 Really amazing shots!!!

[@francescopatane525]

Simple tips but really usefull. Thanks a lot Nigel.

[@louamato6332]

Great tips, ND! Thank you and enjoy the autumn, man!

[@seanthorp2229]

Favorite tree for photography is the aspen. Especially against a background of dark pines.

[@The58stupot]

Another tip for you all. If there is mist around do take some B+W shots. This time of year everyone gets obsessed with autumn colour so just try something different. Great vid Nigel.

[@Raizuke]

@10:55, amazing how much you have recovered the highlights! Lovely shot!

[@johncookson2546]

By far the best photography content and insight on KZbin. Thank you 🙏

[@kateku1744]

Amazing video! Thank you, as always, useful and pleasant to watch!

[@Ahmad.Abbasi.M]

As always excellent and useful Thank you so much Nigel

[@fredja0997]

Thank you so much Nigel for your precious tips !! Your images are so amazing , i work for see and make the same ( with my sensibility ...)

[@SimonWillig]

Tip 7 is key! Thank you!

[@dirkboy07]

Great tip with the colour wheel... Love your channel 👍

[@boblogel4121]

Beautiful photos Nigel! Have learned much and appreciate you sharing your insights with us.

[@bdavis6011]

I love your vids Nigel. Keep up the awesome work!

[@ronaldkristjuhan2688]

I just LOVE oak trees, they are just so beautiful in the autumn and they have so much character in them. I am also a woodworker and oak wood is just amazing for woodworking.

[@KevinNordstrom]

Fall is the BEST time of year. Thanks for the tips friend.

[@2DogAle]

I like the idea of not just looking for those sweeping shots and again, simplify your compositions for a visual impact. Thanks for the reminder Nigel.

[@desertgecko4549]

Around me are mostly conifers, but cottonwoods and aspens dot the landscape around springs and other water sources. With their white bark and yellow fall leaves, aspens look a lot like the silver birches you mention at 5:26. Aspens rarely can be quite striking with a pink/lavender tinge to their yellow fall leaves. This is a mineral-rich area where I suspect these trees tapped into something to cause the unusual color.

[@mitchgalloway2850]

Hyper useful and well-delivered. THANK YOU!

[@a.v.malloy1715]

I went out this morning after it had rained. I may not have bothered but your comment about the leaves being saturated after the rain stuck in my mind. I wandered around the woods and it was so gorgeous everywhere I looked. I only wish I had more time! Great video 😊

[@aboutphotography]

What a beautiful shot 1:41!

[@lwilson5198]

Brilliant video, thanks Nigel.

[@quinguyen4953]

Thanks for all the useful tips. Great video btw. Really appreciate it.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

The leaves are changing and they are starting to look wonderful...love the wellies by the way :)

[@ralphtonak6203]

Watching you video an hear the question about favourite tree --> for me definitely pine and oak !!! best regards, ralph

[@marvinbeatty]

That "time-travel" bouncing from the field to the studio was seamless and kind of trippy... thank you for the tips and wonderful photography. :-)

[@wajidqureshi4105]

Great video...I rarely finds time to comment on KZbin videos, but this one, foundreally useful...with really informative tips to take forward on my photo missions to capture the beauty of autumn. Thanks.

[@CountryMindful]

Favorite tree: Shagbark Hickory And awesome video - thank you very much for all your hard work!

[@benschrader5797]

Here in North America, we don’t have Silver Birches. But the Quaking Aspens are, in my mind, just as beautiful to photograph in autumn.

[@nora25908]

Oh but we do have the Paper Birch! They look a lot like Silver Birches.

[@hamsterneckliving]

I love birch trees in Northern Michigan. And the Fall colors in the leaves of sugar maples. Unbelievably rich and vibrant color!

[@ishandebee8828]

One Favourite tree of mine is maple 🍁 especially Japanese maples. So glad your channel popped up in my feed 🙏🏼

[@samdavies338]

Mate this was an amazing video. Thanks for the great content!

[@Dslrlandscape]

Great video as always, has to be the great oak for me!

[@MrStartrek62]

I love willow trees. Especially when the sun is behind them.

[@clarajolly]

Hello ! I watched your video a few weeks ago and it got me to investigate what else is affected by fall colors, not only trees. This tip really resonated with me and I shot a picture of ferns with changing colors i'm happy with ! So thank you so much !

[@NigelDanson]

That is brilliant. I love ferns at this time of year

[@tom_crookes]

Another must see video for aspiring photographers, totally agree about the Silver Birch tree too. Thanks for the great content Nigel.

[@Ginette688]

Thank you for all the tips!

[@treyfoerster8759]

Outstanding vid as usual and what a way to start my Sunday with a cup of coffee. Thank you!

[@glynparry6598]

Thanks Nigel. 😊

[@oilyblog]

This is such a good lesson to understanding one of the most exciting seasons to photograph. Your timing to submitting this is perfect. Thank you. On an added note, your channel is the best in learning Photography. Thank you

[@TheWindyBurrow]

Hey Nigel, thank you for these tips. Autumn's beauty can be so overwhelming that we need a reminder to slow down, take the time to find the perfect location/composition.... and most of all enjoy yourself during this magical time of the year 🍂

[@edwindoughty8019]

Just want to get out now for some autumn images. Very motivating video with very practical tips. Thanks Nigel.

[@philipsmith1465]

Thanks again lots to think about.

[@Woodenarrows]

Thank you Nigel for another great video. Wonderful tips and reminders. I ALWAYS enjoy and appreciate your videos...

[@billysauerlandphotography8936]

"...don't get snap happy." Love it! LOL keep on keepin' on

[@sirromja]

For similar reasons as you've mentioned regarding birch trees, aspen are my favorite for Fall photography.

[@ulrichpflug2644]

Great video. Very good tipps. Thanks I will try.

[@davidpearson3579]

Thanks for the inspiration Nigel to go out and look for light and colour. Always enjoy your enthusiasm and education to think outside the box. Much appreciated,I used to work in Grizedale forest all year round and felt so lucky to see the magical changes.

[@Barleyman-SD]

Thanks Nigel. My Sunday is complete. For those of us in SoCal, Autumn bring hot winds, 100 degree days, and the deciduous trees we have change from crusty green to shabby brown. A few exceptions. We have had some nice fog lately.

[@PTPhotography]

Aspens and Maples are beautiful during the fall but I really love cottonwoods and willows during the summer!

[@jeremybeswick550]

Really useful, Nigel, thank you! I echo Rahul's comment below. Also that you mentioned slowing down, not just pressing the shutter release all over the place, essentially being a bit more mindful about what you are seeing vs what might make a good image. Brilliant bit of insight for me, thank you so much!

[@lesliedougan2246]

Yes Yes Yes thanks for the tips.

[@vlaney21]

Well, we MASSIVELY appreciate your videos...thanks Nigel! And my favorite tree is the gnarly old "Live Oaks" that we have here in California....they remind me a little of the trees that you and Neill Burnell have taken photos of. I'm not sure how they look in the fall, but I think I better go find out. Love your reminder to look at the smaller scenes (leaves in puddles...).

[@ianbarnes1406]

Great tips Nigel. Really looking forward to next week's video in the Lakes

[@Swissfairy]

Thank you for another useful video with tips.

[@robynboynton]

I think the most inspirational part of this video for me is that someone soooo talented also gets disappointed when they get back home and look at their photos and they’re not quite what you wanted or expected 🙌😩

[@NigelDanson]

Ha ha / that still happens a lot!

[@robynboynton]

Nigel Danson when I do my indoor photography I set up and I can take about six photos max, all of them usable with subtle variations. When I’m outdoors I come home with a hundred photos and I don’t like most of them 😂

[@glttheriault]

Great tips with some great photos showing the concepts. I find that autumn is the most distraction time for me because, as you mention, everywhere you look is interesting. It looks like a possible image until you bring it into Lightroom and realize that composition doesn't reflect what your mind was excited about. So, I agree with your tip of slowing down! Thanks for the awesome tips!

[@jazzrodriguez3599]

Amazing suggestions! Thank you

[@josephstanski5180]

Just the BEST Nigel - Autumn's my fav. Thank you for such great insight tips for Autumn photos.

[@Geeko84]

Always many good and useful tips. Thanks 🙂 I love go out in autumn and take photo.

[@andrewherbert9938]

I have to agree , Silver birches are my fave tree , they work well all year round , fresh vibrant greens in the spring and fantastic shapes and purple branches in the winter

[@larshultberg6972]

Thanks a lot. A lot to learn from this video.

[@lonosmond]

Outstanding lesson today, Nigel! Thank you. I love the silver birch trees you share with us; they remind me of my favorite tree -- the quaking aspen. I'm headed to the Alpine Loop this morning to put your tips into practice (Alpine Loop is in the Wasatch Mountains south of Salt Lake City) .

[@margueritemoore9428]

Terrific video, Nigel. All the points are so relevant for me, especially #7. I have been looking at my library lately and realized that I need to slow down to make sure that I compose my work better. Your explanation of the color wheel is so much more relatable with the visual presentation of complementary colors. Looking forward to next week's video.

[@groggu]

Awesome tips Nigel. It’s great when a photographer starts explaining images with color theory. It’s such an underlying concept for our art form and not explained was well as you did.

[@NigelDanson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@niallmurray9725]

Recently found your channel as I’m hoping to get back into photography.. great work. Just bought your Calendar by means as a small token of support. Look forward to watching more! Thanks👍📷

[@gregsmith6373]

Awesome! Thank you. Cheers from Norway

[@neliogoncalvessilva]

Great tips, many congrats!!!

[@tylerhall3478]

Thanks Nige! Great video, helpful as always. Love your work!

[@janetsharp122]

Thank you once again Nigel ..truly stunning as always .I need to compose Myself first as Autumn is my Favourite Season too ..I get carried away .Less is more I understand now ..You are helping to bring My Mojo back , appreciated ..take care ..

[@welfiblablabla]

Your video throws me back to colour theory at University (studied visal arts) and reading Wassily Kandinskys books 😅

[@jesuscaserofotografia]

Thank you Nigel for these tips.

[@jillybet3]

Brilliant! Thank you x

[@romiemiller7876]

Take Nigel's word for it. If you have a scene yo want to photograph at maximum Fall color you need to check every day.
