The MOST important PHOTOGRAPHY TIP for a NEW location

[@MadsPeterIversen]

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

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks mate! Appreciate that - really pleased with how this turned out 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@RoseKerin]

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

[@upfromtheashes]

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

[@jaredanderson4600]

That tree belongs in the courtyard of Minas Tirith haha.

[@wolfgangwiesinger9593]

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

[@johntravena119]

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

[@johnwilleyjr6814]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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 ! 😍⛰️🏞️🌄🌅

[@nicolinogiangiordano1680]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@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!)

[@lindefraser9148]

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

[@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

[@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 🤯😍

[@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!

[@amithanuradha2874]

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

[@sueferreira9711]

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

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks - yep!

[@tdw4675]

That shot at 11:45 is simply magic! Bravo

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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 !

[@knutsander4074]

Wow! Great photos and really valuable to see how you took them. One of my favourites is the one with the bird at minute 14. Thank you, Nigel, for posting such helpful and at the same time entertaining videos. Always a pleasure!

[@terrynewmanphotography]

Always something to look forward to is your Sunday morning video with cup of tea. This week was awesome! What a great location and scenes. I was pausing and going back and forth to take it all in.

[@reyvinre]

Nigel this whole video was epic, true master! So excited for the next video by the sea. You are teaching and giving best techniques and tips, respect and thanks for that!

[@cyrilbataille8497]

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

Just amazing! Thanks Nigel for an epic photo location. Bravo!

I’m starting to build a list of photography locations to visit once all this craziness has calmed down. This is definitely going on there! Another great video Nigel. I only started photography as a hobby in January 2020 and your you tube and Masterclass videos have been a massive help and inspiration to me. Thank you and happy new year 🥳

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

Those tree compositions are epic. Your sunrise photos are so gorgeous, I paused the video so I could enjoy them longer. The conditions were perfect and most importantly you captured those moments beautifully!

[@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!

[@davidp1288]

I think that is one of the best videos and associated pictures I have seen on your channel (and that is high praise by the way as I really like all your videos) but the last picture with the light and the mist just behind the tree was just spectacular. Looking forward to the coast one next week.

Thanks so much

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.

Fantastic photos, thanks for sharing. One thing I learned from watching this video is to be patient on a new location and to observe elements that usually go unnoticed. I look forward to the next video and btw, I miss Pebbles.

A lone tree, mountains, mist and then a visit from a small bird! You couldn't make it up. Excellent work.

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
