Phenomenal! Really gorgeous conditions, gorgeous locations, beautiful photos, and EPIC music! These are the best landscape photography videos :D

[@NigelDanson]

As an Aussie who was born in Madeira all I can say is un-bloody believable, the shot of the sunrise upon the tree at Pico Ruivo left me in absolute ore. I have walked past that tree a number of times and never paid much attention to it. Nigel your photos a breath taking and absolutely beautiful. Thank you 🙏

[@pauloamaral668]

So, Manny, pega na câmara e começa a fotografar essas lindas paisagens naturais e "olha com outros olhos" para as árvores :)

[@jimtrull683]

Nigel you should get some tee shirts and coffee mugs that say “It doesn’t get any better than this” and market them on your website. I always enjoy the positive attitude you bring to your channel.

[@NigelDanson]

Watch this space

[@jaredanderson4600]

That tree belongs in the courtyard of Minas Tirith haha.

[@farrobo27]

Here is Pico Ruivo and in the background Pico do Areiro, very close to where I live here on the north coast of the island, I've done this Vareda several times. I'm watching your work here on the channel, thank you for sharing the wonder of Madeira Rui Joao

[@upfromtheashes]

I think the shot with the bird may be my favorite photo I've ever seen of yours, Nigel!

[@johnduncan9036]

Your titles always look like clickbait so I'm normally hesitant to click them but your content is some of the best on youtube. Thanks for all of the hard work - the rest of us really get to benefit from your videos

[@Airborneaway]

Amazing Nigel! Your an inspiration even for me as a local guide and amateur photographer. The tree it´s actually an "Erica arborea" hundreds of years old tree/bush that burned on 2010 forest fire. The hard wood, reason it was important for local population, still stands for many years, and many to come, as a reminder of how fragile indigenous forest are, and how important it is to protect it! cheers!

[@RoseKerin]

I do know the feeling when the location is perfect but the light is even better. Its amazing.

[@johntravena119]

Just being out there would be magic. The photograph would be the cherry on top.

[@ishtaar2007]

Nigel you have the uncanny knack to being at the right place at the right time. It takes a lot and accolades for your incredible efforts you put in to take a shot

[@RickBebbington]

This follows on brilliantly from the last video. Awesome treatment for an epic location, and that shot at the end is amazing! Definitely deserves more views than this.

[@nicolaoffert4006]

Madeira is our favourite place to go to. It really does provide everything a photographer needs for stunning pictures. Your photos are breathtakingly beautiful ! 😍⛰️🏞️🌄🌅

[@wolfgangwiesinger9593]

awaking the "soul of a location" ans revealing it in fotos is the very best talent of Nigel Danson. Thans a lot!

[@19atul71]

I've taken hundreds of photos of those dead exposed trees. Seeing yours, and your shooting process, God! do I have so much to learn! I just love their ghost-like appearance. Amazing photos, once again. Thanks for sharing the beauty of my homeland.

[@nicolinogiangiordano1680]

Planning + hard work (up at 5, drive, hike) = magical pictures. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@johnwilleyjr6814]

What a jaw-dropper! This is what landscape photography is all about.

[@tdw4675]

That shot at 11:45 is simply magic! Bravo

[@josephkennedy3127]

I am a SF native, enjoy your photos and KZbin videos, but most of all I like seeing that you are a GIANTS fan.

[@NigelDanson]

Yep - used to life in tiburon

[@josephkennedy3127]

@@NigelDanson one more question, I have been looking for a good ND filter set, and would like to get a Kase set, but prices are so high. Any tips on where I might find the best prices?

[@paulasimson4939]

Oh, the one with the bird - WOW!!!

[@huangkate8714]

From this vlog, I learn not only awake in very early morning but full preparation: map reading, weather forecasting, composition planning and good physique. All attributes of amazing shoots.

[@amithanuradha2874]

Definitely a portfolio image. It doesn't get any better than this. probably my fav shot from your collection

[@cyrilbataille8497]

I love how you just make quality content outside, that’s the best studio.

[@lostkites4734]

Nope. Not enough views. This should go more than it. I can’t find other video on KZbin Wher someone can learn photography better than this. Man you’re an inspiration 🤯😍

[@davehandelman2832]

Those last three were BANGERS, Nigel!!

[@minus1db]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and have to say The Madeira ones were my favourite so far. Unbelievable shots Nigel, even got my wife’s attention. Can’t wait for the coastal one as I live in North Wales opposite a beach

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks so much! Hope to visit Wales soon (when we are allowed out again!)

[@niftytwo]

Wow. Nigel. I agree Mate. It doesn’t get any better than this. I’m sitting in bed 8 hours ahead of you just watching and learning from you. We wish you and Family a very safe, happy, productive and safe 2021.

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks so much

[@garybpt]

The only thing more spectacular than those images is that jumper! 😍

[@raytbrown2]

Last shot of the sunrise in the video was best shot! Very well earned & done!

[@gerhardgraf3335]

I'm a photographer myself and I know how much awareness, dedication and concentration it takes to uncover and bag all or at least some of those stunning photos which are hiding around us. But to simultaneously do a really good video of this quest is something that is simply beyond me. I'd mess up both the photos and the video. Of course I know you're not doing this alone, but this does not diminish my admiration...

[@itsonlymurray]

That final photo with the bird. To die for 👍

[@raphaelfischer8489]

Wow, the last picture with the bird leaves me absolutely speechless! 😍 The bird adds so much character and also the rest of the picture is so incredibly calm, warm and mystical

[@jmavalido]

Madeira is really gorgeous, but not only Madeira. All Portugal is beautiful. Great video. Thanks for the tip.

[@KaReEdCa]

Wow that last image with the bird.... It was incredibly amazing. Great video Nigel

[@subrotomukerji2608]

Triple-S --- superb, stunning, sublime. Immense enthusiasm, determination, hard work, imagination and skill involved. Well done! A rare experience here in India, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@lindefraser9148]

Wonderful to see the photos from this magical place and to see your joy at being there to make them!

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Wow. The bar has certainly been set high on this vlog Nigel. What a stunning location to be in, and to come back with those images. Wow. Thanks for sharing again Nigel

[@rosssayer6524]

Just found this one Nigel, so glad I did. That sunrise with the tree is just nothing short of amazing, beautifully captured 👏👏

[@zemekiel]

I've been going to Madeira every year since 2003, except 2020, and I have probably 200+ photos of those dead trees on the walk from Achada do Teixeira to Pico Ruivo. It's just a wonderful, wonderful place. Hopefully I can travel back in 2021.

[@jamesphillips1478]

absolutely gorgeous. The lighting is stunning and you couldn't have planned it any better having been there the day before. Great photos and the music fit the dramatic lighting perfectly.

[@kathycoffman1803]

I love love love how you show us what you see and than how you frame it

[@deepotter6774]

Phenomenal, Nigel. Well done! Not only are these photos epic, your video production is amazing, and really helps us mere mortal photographers approach the scene with far better focus and certainty. Thank you!

[@valk-photography]

Super video Nigel ! My favorite picture is the one with the bird @ 14:05 . You take the maximum out of these amazing conditions !!! Looking forward to the next Madeira video !

[@buyaport]

Great and important tip! Here is another one: When you come to a new location, you feel the climb in your legs, enjoy the smell, sense the climate and remember your journey and the last evening. But all this cannot be seen in your picture. And being in a tourist location, others have probably discovered "your" view before you (a quick web search with "madeira mountain tree" will result in several photos of the exact same tree). So you also have to make this extra effort to get a remarkable result anyway. Nigel managed to do this! Good job!

[@sueferreira9711]

Wonderful - what an inspirational start to 2021! The secret to great landscape photography - Be There.

[@tompatton2086]

Interesting how your focus was a dead tree, something that I'll often try to avoid having in my shots. Good eye Nigel. Perseverance and patience pays off!

[@lindahenderson2113]

Nigel! I am so glad that you got to travel to Spain to shoot the forest, ocean and clouds in the Madeira area. I am sure it was a nice break from all of the restrictions of 2020. You pulled some stunning photos out of that area and have inspired me to visit the location one day. Thanks again for your video and instruction!

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks so much Linda. I was very lucky to get there and everything aligned well!

Hi Nigel Danson! Sorry about the spelling! Excellent video and information as usual! I love it. Actually I was on guide tour to these burned out trees in March 2019.I was told, that they all were burned in a huge fire in 2016 and now stand as som dead but beautiful memories. It was cloudy on my visit, unfortunately, but right here I managed some very moody picture of these spectacular trees. Love to see your visit and pictures. Kind Regards, Jan

[@nguquyen]
