Photographing Waterfalls and Everything Along the Way || Shogomoc Falls

In this week’s video I spend the morning exploring the beautiful Shogomoc Falls. This was my first time visiting this location and I and confidently say that it did not disappoint!! The lovely trail through the woods made for some interesting woodland images with the morning light poking through the trees, and there are endless compositions to be had of falls and the boulders in the river. I will definitely be return here in the future to try and capture a 'keeper' image of the falls.

I noticed that you added a new video style at the start of the video! Nice! Your ICM shot is really good. I love the colours and the patterns. It looks like a really cool abstract painting! And oh, I am so jealous that your Canadian waterfalls look much better than ours. And how you capture them so nicely. Well done, mate! / I can't even operate without constantly eating something(the reason why I'm fat). I don't even know how you did that haha

Thanks Arty I'm glad you liked it! I surprised myself with the ICM image because I initially took it by accident (but it looked kind of cool) then I did it again purposefully and it turned out to be one of my favorite images from the morning. Normally when I skip breakfast I tend to be lots of snack but I did not plan properly that morning and I paid the price 😂

Good idea to set the mood of your video with a little teaser! I have done that sort of thing before, and I don't think I've come close to perfecting it, but I'll tell you what I do know. I begin including direct scenes of the thing I was photographing, because the video isn't about finding the waterfall our mountain or whatever, it's about how you as a photographer are capturing it, so I have begun putting really interesting shots of my subject when I can. Also, I have found that showing off camera gear, reminding people that I am a photographer right away keeps people interested in the video longer, so I have included shots of me taking shots. Hope this helps in your endeavours? Great video, nice to see a hidden gem and think about how I may shoot the scene. I also leave the "risky" shot to the end :)

Great tips Nick, thanks! I will try my best to implement them going forwards. I really liked filming and editing the little clips together so I plan to continue doing it (if nothing else for my own selfish enjoyment). Glad you liked the 'risky' shot 😄.

@@tim.poirier great! Yea you were for sure right that the risky shot would be your last of that day, just who knows the reason, right?
