[@NigelDanson]

Autumn is coming!!! Share your tips and website below for everyone - thanks for watching

[@anavazquez6072]

Nigel Danson , Thanks so much, hello from Connecticut USA waiting like crazy for autumn!! 📸🎞

[@edc5338]

I'm from Connecticut also and gearing up for fall. Great tips! Heading to northern VT inext week for a few days. There is an app called "Leaf Peepr" (correct spelling) that I use to check New England foliage. I read that using "cloudy" for white balance helps with color? Any thoughts?

[@stevemozzie6497]

Plain and simple, just the sort of video I enjoy. We have a couple of woods that we use for our autumn shots. Thanks Nigel, you have an easy to listen to voice.

[@NigelDanson]

+Steve Frith thanks Steve - really appreciate the support! 👍

[@anthonyhedger4301]

Thanks Nigel, some great tips here. A tip from me: if you haven't got a view / vista near by and you want to shoot Autumnal colours then you could always shoot close up on leaves, just fill the frame with all of the wonderful colours, it look fantastic. Cheers buddy, Tony.

[@dwelker3778]

We live in the Rocky Mountains of Utah and I have been scouting out areas for the last month or more. Now I have so many, it will be a matter of choosing which get the priority. Great suggestions.

[@NigelDanson]

+D Welker thanks - what a beautiful part of the world! 👊👍

[@2tcreative]

As a new follower of yours I must say I enjoy your videos immensely! Technically well done but what is even more important is the content, which you get to without much preamble and then present with examples! I come back to your videos repeatedly and gain new insights each time! If you are ever in the USA again come to Texas and I will show you my "stamping grounds"!

[@GadgetJohn]

This is a really great insight into how you get your photos. I spend half my time at a location using my zoom to find new locations and looking for other locations.

[@NigelDanson]

+Gadget John thanks mate! Appreciate it 👊

[@kylasmay5691]

Thanks for the tips. I'm looking forward to fall/winter too. Thanks for introducing Pebbles!

[@NigelDanson]

+Kyla Smay thanks for the kind words!

[@ChristianSchoter]

I can't wait for Autumn as well, also my favourite time of the year. All very useful tips.

[@NigelDanson]

+Christian Schoter thanks Christian! Appreciate that kind words :-)

[@andywhiteside16]

good advice there Nigel, love this time of year. what a beautiful pup love brown and white springers you will certainly have your hans full

[@NigelDanson]

+Andy Whiteside she is very cheeky!!! But gorgeous!

[@trevorhughes7399]

Really helpful tips, thank you Nigel. Pebbles looks lovely and will thrive on the long walks when she's a bit older.

[@gromitdaddy]

Coming from a Springer family, Pebbles is gorgeous!! Or, as another British landscape photographer might say... Absolutely Stunning!

[@andrewsmith7363]

Love the google maps tip, I'm back in the UK in August and will use it to mark all the photo locations I want to visit.

[@rogeryouncecreations]

Nice video with great information. I really enjoy the drone footage of you scouting locations. Keep up the great work.

[@gavinjmcgrath6983]

Super helpful tips! Huge thanks.

[@paulmitchell6697]

This time next week and I'll be in the Norwegian fjords Nigel and from what I'm led to believe the colours are already in the trees, I can't wait 🙂

[@NigelDanson]

+Paul Mitchell awesome!!! Fjords and autumn - what could be better Paul? 👊👍

[@RS.Outdoors]

Great advice, so better go out and start looking as I haven't even thought about it yet. Atb

[@tonydavies32]

Great advice, thanks. I work with my drone in your loacal area on a regular basis and plan on making some videos soon 👌 your advice is greatly appreciated and I look forward to browsing your content!

[@Vsual1]

Four years ago and still giving awesome information, love it. Did you have a separate drone operator or a follow drone? What type?

[@TimGraham1974]

Great idea doing an autumn based video. really well done. thank you

[@scotthughes290]

Just got the Lee Polariser this week Can't wait to get out and try it out Possibly the Brecon Beacons in the next few weeks

[@NigelDanson]

+Scott Hughes Photography sounds good - remember when you are holding it up to test that it only works one way ( screwthread to eye )

[@Viktoryous]

Really like your vids man, so many great tips and your enthusiasm is contagious. Now im gonna head out for those amazing Autumn vistas. Keep it up!

[@NigelDanson]

+Viktor HL Thanks 👍

[@jeffstephenson5633]

Great tips there Nigel thanks.

[@NigelDanson]

+jeff stephenson thanks once again Jeff! Appreciate it :-)

[@DavidDixon]

Superb video Nigel! In my opinion one of your best yet! Thanks for this. Really interesting, really informative, great tips! (And it has a dog to boot!) Nailed it!

[@NigelDanson]

+David Dixon thanks David! I enjoyed shooting it. A lot of work but worth it. 👍👊

[@phooesnax]

Great job. Jim

[@groggu]

Thanks Nigel. Great video and tips. Prepping for autumn here in Michigan, US and your suggestions will come in very handy. I have used the iPhone in the past to mark interesting locations. It's very handy because each photo includes the GPS location and I can easily tag each photo for what is there and when to return.

[@NigelDanson]

+Greg Croasdill thanks for the kind comments Greg! Agree that iPhone is great way to use it👍

Great tips Nigel, we don't get Autumn here in Spain but great watching your video! I also use Google Maps to search new place to explore and photograph. Many thanks for sharing your work :)

[@Bogdiv]

Expat in Mazarron Go to Galicia. :)

[@jbairdexp]

Cracking video mate. Use Google Maps myself to log locations - I've got 100's of locations logged now. Also, agree with you on the use of a polariser - there are some things you have to do in camera. Looking forward to video next week. Oh, and my go to weather website is yr.no as it splits up cloud cover into three heights. Oh, and finally, I'm going to mix up my autumn photography this year with some drone shots as well. Should make for some interesting and varied compositions. :-)

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks Julian! Yeah - I am going to do more drone shots - enjoyed in in Cornwall and was actually suprised by the quality!

[@jbairdexp]

Next time your in the SW give me a shout if you'd like. :-)

[@adizett6824]

Hey, where to check diferent cloud cover on yr.no? Can`t find it...Peace

[@jbairdexp]

On the left hand menu, just under "Overview", select "Hour by hour", then under that select "Detailed". :-)

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

well done, i will watch for the winter. Thank! 👌☕

[@daviddowling9830]

Absolootely stoooning 🤓

[@Snowcatnz2]

Some great tips Nigel and Pebbles is a real cutie, I expect to see some PebblesScapes soon LOL!! Those websites etc are great shame we don't have anything like that here in New Zealand, or if we do I can't find them. Anyway looking forward to next week video. 👍👍👍

[@NigelDanson]

That is a shame - Pebblescapes will be years away I expect - at the moment it would be poopscape.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Great tips! I'm so excited for autumn this year. Don't think I'll have enough time to go everywhere I want to though but should be good 😂

[@NigelDanson]

Me too! Can't wait!!!!

[@markharris5771]

Another brilliant video, great information and tips. I love the Peak District, it always feels so accessible along with the North Yorks. Moors it's one of my favourite national parks and Snake Pass in Autumn is amazing, I've got 3 prints from just that road that sell quite well.

[@NigelDanson]

+Mark Harris thanks once again mark. I will take a look at snake pass.

[@jamicottam4828]

Hey Nigel, just found your channel and taken a look at your instagram pics - really enjoying your style :)

[@NigelDanson]

+Jami Cottam thanks Jami! Appreciate it

[@nickswisher6759]

Great tips Nigel! I'm super excited for fall since I'm heading to Zion around peak color. I'm really excited to see the narrows and the east side of the park at their best.

[@NigelDanson]

Zion in the fall! BOOM!

[@jimmyvu-dev]

i'm in Australia and Spring is around the corner ^^

[@NigelDanson]

+Jim the Kid 3 more corners and you will be there :-)

[@jimmyvu-dev]

Lol, agree!

[@seantomlinson3320]

Very well done Nigel, I enjoyed it. Hi Pebbles! I haven't watched all your videos but I've watched a number of them, and I'm curious if you ever include a human element for scale? Seems to me you standing in a photo looking out over the scene could add something extra to your huge vistas.

[@NigelDanson]

+Sean Tomlinson thanks Sean! I have done that with the drone... need a red jacket! ;-)

[@sherrydavis3110]

Thanks for this video, great tips now I feel I have a place to start when thinking about my Autumn photography. Pebbles is beautiful, a lovely name, my dear departed cat had the same name and she was a treasure. Maybe you should think of doing some pet portraits lol.

[@NigelDanson]

+sherry Davis if I can get her to sit then maybe! Haha

[@bertiewooster4043]

I live in Florida, you clot! ;-) Not much in the way of fall colors here!

[@NigelDanson]

Ha ha

[@abdulazizalghamdi9846]

great tips thank you :-)

[@marccluet3873]

Very good video! I'm using Google Maps as well with OS maps to be able to plan the shot, planning is indeed essential. My go to apps: - Google Maps - to see my Landscape photography custom layers - OS Mapfinder or OS Maps - Plan hiking routes, study terrain and how to get there - Photopills - The go to app for planning sunrise/sunset/astrophotography a bit complex to use but super useful, I also use it to know where the sun will be at any point of the day - Magic Seaweed - Tide planner for coastal shots - Night Sky - For locating stars and the milky way for astrophotography shots, very useful when in location - Dark Sky - Weather forecast - BBC Weather - More weather forecast - Met Office - Even more weather forecast

[@NigelDanson]

+Marc Cluet brilliant list Marc! Used them all but not photopills - I use another one TPE

[@marccluet3873]

Thank you Nigel! I used to use TPE but switched to Photopills, the learning curve is a bit steeper but once you get there it is pretty good.

[@NigelDanson]

+Marc Cluet thanks - I will give it a try

[@nigelmorley8092]

Really useful tips in a well made vlog Nigel...channel coming along nicely...our family Spaniel way too badly behaved to come on my vlogs !! It'd be chaos I suspect!

[@NigelDanson]

+Nigel Morley not planning on taking pebbles on vlogs! Leave that to Meg

[@NigelDanson]

+Nigel Morley thanks for the kind words!!! So is yours!

[@MattFreestonePictures]

Good to 'meet' you on KZbin, Nigel. Fantastic videos! What did you shoot your pieces to camera at the start of this video on? Not an action camera, presumably?

[@NigelDanson]

+Matt Freestone Photography no - this was Fuji xt2 and 10-24 lens

[@MoMoDzLocalGuide]

thanks for the tuts

[@FelixTheG]

Aah iam so excited for the Autumn :) its my first year with a camera so iam curios wich opportunities will come with every season. So thank you very much for the Video Nigel, ill keep the tips in mind :) (i really want to shot some birches with the orange leaves and a bit of fogg between them )

[@NigelDanson]

+Felix Glawe birch and fog! Can't go wrong!!! Remember that polariser ;-)

[@davemartin2068]

Hi Nigel, Is there a photo related story connected to the California license plate in the opening video?

[@NigelDanson]

+Dave Martin yes - I speak about it at the end of my live your dream video! That is all that is left of my car :-)

[@anavazquez6072]

Oh I'll be damn I need a polarizer! Thanks for the tip! 📸

[@NigelDanson]

No problem! It will really help boast those colors (especially after the rain)

[@ianbooth2062]

Just discovered your channel and watched this excellent video - thanks for posting it My wife and I were out scouting for good locations yesterday and we're both looking forward to that magical autumn look - particularly nice up here in the Scottish Highlands. I never thought of using Google Maps for the scouting process - pinning locations with photos and notes - what a great idea! However, just spent a good couple of hours looking at YT videos for Google Maps, Google Drive and Google Photos (and various combinations thereof) and am just, well ... confused. Are you aware of a good tutorial to show exactly how you did this - or might you consider doing one yourself? I'm sure many would appreciate that. Thanks again. Ian

[@NigelDanson]

Hi Ian - It is really easy to do when you know where. Login to google and then goto google maps. Click the menu on the top LHS (three lines), then your places and then maps and you can create a map from there and add points. You can also then see the maps you created on the google map app and add points when you are out in the field :-)

[@ianbooth2062]

Thanks for that, Nigel. I was busy trying to find a way to have the mobile phone track where I am at the moment the shot is taken and add that point to the map, whilst simultaneously uploading the shot to Google photos. All of which would allow me to concentrate on the matter at hand - the 'perfect' shot :) Too much to expect? Well - maybe in the future. Anyway I'm on your blog now picking up some more good ideas etc. Your Yosemite stuff is amazing! Keep 'em coming and thanks again.

[@NigelDanson]

+Ian Booth cheers Ian! Yosemite is stunning!!! Difficult not to take amazing photos!

[@eddievenuto1862]

I use my polar circular filter. It makes the tress more color. That with setting my picture setting to vivid. That with all the light make more colors. I know that

[@michaeleashoo]

ever use incondesnsent (sp) wb at sunrise and sunset? 😎

[@joshglaister3705]

Big Ups Peak District ✌️

[@derekwalk]

tried buying the lee polarizer and the link doesn't work

[@WhittyPics]

Facebook link seems to be dead?

[@NigelDanson]

+Dennis W thanks - will take a look

[@tehn00bpwn3r]

Anyone know of any great places in Berkshire?

[@НикитаСилявин]

and there are web sites for Russia?

[@isaacm1570]

Unfortunately where I live Autumn colors don't really happen. Wish I could go somewhere it does look like Autumn.

[@NigelDanson]

+Isaac M that is a shame!!! Boo to where you live!

[@roeboeski]

Nice tips Nigel! I started watching through your video's and i've become a real fan, also it improved my photography, thank you! I have one problem and question: i am struggling finding good composition in the area i live in, it's all very flat. Do you have any tips to work with a boring/flat landscape? Soms examples www.flickr.com/gp/63001205@N04/Kn5P3m

[@noelbiesecker]

Thanks for the Autumn tips Nigel. By the way, I too, have a Springer Spaniel (instagram.com/thepup_clover_) and a daughter named Emily.

[@NigelDanson]

Ha ha - cool

[@adrianf9876]

Great tips Nigel, thanks for sharing...I've also found 500px.com useful in checking out destinations. I'm using it currently to preview locations for an upcoming New Zealand trip!

[@NigelDanson]

+Adrian R thanks Adrian! Yeah - 500pm is great as well... New Zealand is a bucket list destination 👍

[@nickyfoulkes8476]

woods and forest website for devon is rubbish as it only lists 2 woodlands. So in Devon don't bother with it.
