Photographing A Landscape Landmark - PT1 [Photo Biker EP29]

[@enaidr]

So lucky that you live near such natural beauty. The tip of working against light instead of with it is so valuable and easy to remember. Thanks for another great ride! 😊

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Diane, these ideas aren't complicated once you get your head around them.

[@woodymallory9058]

I know where I went wrong in my photography...I don't own a motorcycle!!!! Thanks Mike🤣

[@MikeBrowne]

I mean these things are simple when you know the answer aren't they....

[@altern8ive]

The views from the _Chitty Chitty Bang Bang_ descent into Abbotsbury are stunning. Thanks as always Mike ☺

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks very much 🙏

[@irenecarson9628]

Thank you, Mike, for taking us along on the Triumph through all that loveliness!

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks again Irene!

[@lisasimpson9343]

Love your enthusiasm for life Mike. Nothing better than a lovely day, a motorbike and a camera. Went to a motorcycle toy run before xmas, photographed lots of nice bikes, quite a few Triumphs. Had very sore leg muscles the next day from squatting etc 😄. Like the long shot of the chapel with the beach etc, tells the story better.

[@MikeBrowne]

Get those muscles working - good for you girl!

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Mike, always brilliant and so informative. I’ve already signed up for your ‘Upadates’ 🤦🏻‍♂️😊 Looking forward to part 2 👍

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks very much ️😊

[@markbowen6623]

Love the explanation of the stops at the end. It’s something I’ve never managed to grasp before but I think I’ve got it now.

[@MikeBrowne]

Happy to help Mark ... MB🙏😊

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

wow. if i were there, in that light, i would have just sat down and looked out at the landscape and maybe just... sit there for hours. everything is so divine looking.

[@MikeBrowne]

I totally get what you say. It's a beautiful area and I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world to have so close by...

[@andrewcroft2570]

Another fantastic video, Milke.

[@MikeBrowne]

Glad you enjoyed it

Another super excellent one, you learn each time you tune to Mike, lovely 21min and 47 seconds,👌

Great spin and photos again Mike. The very best for 2023

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you very much Denis

[@nickhumphrey1313]

Another great video Mike, this one is right up my street as I love playing around with NDs and ND grads. Cloud movement is a wonderful thing!

[@MikeBrowne]

Good to hear it Nick, they are a beautiful thing.. ☁️☁️☁️

[@oc2phish07]

Happy New Year Mike.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks - same to you!

[@david_keating]

Beautiful place Mike, I was up there last year in the pooring 🌧, but it was still brilliant to photograph it in such awful conditions and moody skys.

[@MikeBrowne]

Hopefully you'll get to go back there again soon.

[@drnimish333]

Nice first video of 2023. Happy new year sir. Have a wonderful year ahead. Very good landscapes. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikeBrowne]

And the same to you 🍀

[@G0FUW]

Thanks for that Mike. I have driven past the chapel many times but the layby on the hill has always been full. Had not even realised you could walk up to the chapel! Must make the effort to spend a day there and do the leg work.

[@MikeBrowne]

Do the leg work Steve! It'll be worth it.

[@wilfs1196]

Great video Mike, thanks, always looking forward to your next one.

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Wilf, me too

[@HoppiHopp]

That was some serious workout. Thanks for the video.

[@MikeBrowne]

Hills keep you fit!!!!

[@nigelchase2407]

Thanks for sharing Mike, greatly appreciated.

[@MikeBrowne]

My pleasure Nigel

[@mickehog76]

Great video as always. I guess that tripod is older than you 🤣.

[@MikeBrowne]

It's an oldie but a goodie... like me!!

[@mickehog76]

You are the best 😍.

[@Der-Oberst]

Mike, you gotta go back to that camera shop and tell everyone what to buy again. Dslr, mirrorless, lenses etc.. Thanks

[@laurencedunkley8097]

Thanks Mike, I know the location, just have to go there and shoot it, simple !

[@MikeBrowne]

Go for it Laurence. Maybe share the results on our Photo Creative group. Link below.. MB www.photographycourses.biz/photo-creative

[@anorak211]

Hi, get up on the road in the small parking area, there is a great view of the chapel, I was there 2 months ago. Get there early then go for breakfast at the Hive Beach Cafe.

[@MikeBrowne]

Great tip thanks (and lovely cafe)

[@599miata]

Nice Mike, as usual.😊😊

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you very much Jacques 🙏🙏🙏

[@nebuchadnezzar6913]

Thanks Mike another nice video

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you

[@NigelCowderyPhotography]

great video and love watching you out and about. Just a question. Would it not be easier to use the exposure guide that comes with the stopper?

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks Nigel. You can, but as I said, if you know your stops I find it quicker and prefer to count on my fingers. Sometimes it takes ages to find the card in my bag, once had one blow away in the wind and that's a pain when you don'tve much time. These clouds were gone and followed by blue sky right after I shot this. Not saying my way is best. It's just how I do it... MB

[@paulf1767]

Informative video, thanks. I’ve never used filters so the explanation of the shutter speed was useful but I don’t understand the aperture side of it. Will this be explained in future videos?

[@MikeBrowne]

Hi @Paul F In this case we're not using aperture's superpower (depth of field) it's only being used as an exposure control. So you can add/ remove stops of light by combining them with shutter speeds. For example - 10 stops > drop shutter from 1/1000th to 1/4 = 8 stops and 1/4sec is the perfect speed to blur a waterfall the way you want it. Slower will be too much blur, faster not enough. But you still need 2 stops less light. Let's say you're on f8, by going to f16 you've reached your 10 stop goal, without compromising the amount of blur. I can tell there are still some areas of confusion for you around camera controls and settings. I guarantee my Masterclass online course will clear these up for you or your money back. Link below...

[@paulf1767]

@@MikeBrowne Hi Mike, thank you for the reply and explanation. I will have to get a filter and try it out for myself now I understand why you changed the aperture to get the last stops of light. I did the UBC some time ago. I think I will have to go back and review what you said in those. Really enjoying the 7BB course.

[@ashstubbings2603]

Hello again my friend! How's things? I was just thinking when you were taking those shots of St Catherine's Chapel, how good they'd look as drone shots. What do you think? I personally don't have one, nor have I ever used one, but the number of times I've thought that I could take an amazing photo if only I had a drone is nobody's business!😄

[@MikeBrowne]

Hey Ash. Drones have brought a whole new dimension to photography and this place is a great location for one. Part 2 is coming in a couple weeks where we get much higher up without a drone... If you're on my newsletter I'll send you a reminder. Link below... MB www.photographycourses.biz/goodstuff

[@virpat206]

Hi Mike, what settings you use on your action cam while riding a bike?

[@MikeBrowne]

Hi @Vir Pat - I use a Gopro Hero 7 Black and these are the only settings I use. Everything else is generally on auto. Video Mode: 4K > 50FPS > Lens Superview Protune: 5000K White Balance > Sharpness Medium > Colour Vibrant Prefs: Orient lock Landscape Hope this helps...

Thank you

[@lostshepard00]

Nice one Mike !

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks indeedy

[@jamesdecross1035]

No, no, apertures are easy (even if the numbers are not). Instead of increments of x2, it is increments of square-root-2.

[@kerry5586]

My brain immediately shut down when you said square-root-2!

[@MikeBrowne]

@James D E Cross 🤯 I can barely count never mind do square roots... MB 😊
