I Wish I'd Learnt This Photographic Technique Sooner!

[@blueheartcrochet1962]

I’m 61, take my old camera with me probably all the time. I happened upon your channel and I thank you for your content. I at times get criticised bc I take photos of sand, dirt, items on the ground nature or not. So many things I see differently others find funny 🤷🏽‍♀️ Regardless, your content is great and I appreciate you 🙏🏽

[@triplewinlin5576]

Glad you became more "grounded" in your photography, Kim. The connection is not just visual when you really take time to look at where you are. It is healing. Great images!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you :)

[@j.r.bohnenblust1084]

You have produced an amazing body of beautiful images. Thank you for posting.

[@tgsnider]

I love how you find beautiful images where others find nothing. You got some great stuff! Thanks for posting.

[@commentforthealgo5383]

I usually hate when people post edit too much but the way you use it, is truly lovely. You have given me a boost of inspiration, a boost of support I desperately needed.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you so much 😊

[@robertwhitemoto]

When your music is almost as good as your photography... all the feels Kim. Well done.

[@philipweir8318]

Hi Kim, New to your channel & I must say it's a lovely change to the normal photo blogger channels, you discuss how you feel at the time of your video, detailing how sometimes it's ok to be less than enthusiastic as well as being super excited, this is a true reflection of our mental health just now. I have been an avid amateur photographer since purchasing my first SLR camera back in 1981 then moving to medium format then back to SLR before joining the digital age with my DSLR. which created a new found love of photography, no longer worrying about only having 36 exposure film or slides with my SLR or 10 or 8 shots with medium format roll films. Keep up the good work Kim with true to life vlogs. Kindest regards Phil.

[@jderossett1]

Great shots Kim.

[@stephenferguson6223]

I have just come across this video and instantly recognised your location here. I have spent many summers on this beach and you have reminded me, that I have taken some gorgeous sunset photos here in the past. I used to be right into going out with the camera, however not so much anymore and I'm at the stage of giving up with it. But I must say, seeing this scenery again and your interesting take on something so simple, has given me some inspiration. I would just like to say, thank you for this! 🙂👌

[@carolbrucecollett]

What a beautiful landscape!! And your images are stunning. Thank you for sharing your images and your in the field flow.

[@hanserikkratholmrasmussen6623]

You are perfectly right. It's all about seeing the opportunities.

[@spefineart]

Beautiful images and great information. Thank you.

[@Sorarse]

I haven't done a lot of macro photography, but focus stacking is definitely useful for that. I never thought of extending it's use to landscape photography, usually relying on a small aperture to keep everything in focus.

[@Joe-B1]

Perfect to wake up to on a Sunday morning...........😎

[@fleckjr07]

Thanks for your content on this video and for the inspiration given!

[@richmatlock2396]

And yet another amazing video. Thank you Kim.

[@danshut1981]

Thanks for this Kim, it's good to be reminded that there is no such thing as a failed shot, just another opportunity to learn something, had really fallen out of love with photography until recently by forgetting that and being so harsh with my images that it wasn't fun anymore

[@JasonLorette]

Focus stacking is something I’m definitely trying more too…that shot was awesome! 📸😎

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you Jason!

[@brucedelorme5026]

Some amazing shots! Beautiful day and adventure

[@agentsmithgrind2394]

soo nice, and relaxing too watch, well done !

[@howardeurovine127]

Seriously inspired! Will revisit soon🤗

[@artturasanen]

I recently moved to using a compact digital camera and one thing I like about it vs. interchangeable lens camera is the wide depth of field, which is great for landscape pictures.

[@cxs240]

This completely changed my thoughts about clear blue sky photography. Most people prefer to have a cloudy sky when taking pictures, and I was one of them. I will experiment more. Thank you

[@jairosros2968]

Beautiful Work, Thanks for your Time !!

[@martinthody9335]

Another super video, Kim, with a valuable message to get out whatever the weather. I had similar experience yesterday going out into the Lakes under a clear blue sky - I didn’t see anyone else with a camera, probably because a clear sky doesn’t typically lend itself to dramatic or moody landscapes. It made me focus on what was there, though, and I ended up with a few images I’m really happy and which are a little different from the norm!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Great to hear this Martin. There's always opportunities, no matter what the weather. Sounds like you had a lovely day out 😊

[@jimharris3889]

That focus stacked low angle tripod image is awesome !! Gonna have to try that myself 😊

[@MWTH37]

Kim Great tips and thank you for sharing

[@longdriver1759]

Very impressive. Amazing photos!! Well done!

[@Greggiexplore]

Beautiful video, often we look for something spectacular to shoot, and yet there are patterns and other things all around us.

[@numbersix8919]

Nice! The small field of stones behind you looks like a fine subject too : )

[@desgardner7169]

I love footprints in the sand as long as some of them are mine! yes that's a wonderful part of the world where you are enjoy every minute of it.....Thank you for taking us there!

[@AZJack]

Thank you, enjoyed hearing about your describing your thoughts about what you were seeing. Beautiful shots.

[@trevor6483]

Thank you, I like your attitude to photography.

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

Angel voiced Kim comes back with another great video. I must admit, even though my stuff (mostly) is weather sealed I find that I am very cautious when the weather is less than perfect. I really must be more inclined to get out there when the weather is more inclement . Thank you for all your videos, they're brilliant.

[@rexgigout1472]

Liked! Wonderful presentation. I especially appreciate how you worked with a beach, without using clouds or permanent terrain features, to be so very creative. Here on the upper Gulf Coast, of Texas, where flat coastal plain meets sandy and muddy beaches, there are no significant dunes, no tall trees, no rocks, and a minimal tidal range, but you have shown how to creative something so significant, with such simple, low terrain features. Thanks!

[@allenschneider1847]

Your videos are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@FeedScrn]

Capturing the light off of those mini-sand-formations was genius. The pictures turned out great. - The technique of focus-stacking for the sunset composite image was for me, a learning experience. Thanks.

[@lisasimpson9343]

Awesome images and video Kim. I'm with you, you can always find something to shoot. Thank you for taking us along.

[@jeffreylane7647]

Very nice Kim, I going to try more of the focus stacking my self. Thanks for the great ideas.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thanks Jeffrey! Enjoy!

[@mawavoy]

Thanks for sharing your focus stacking technique and the wonderful results. Your photographic session was full of fantastic images. Great work!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you for the kind words Michael. Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@andypotts8062]

Beautiful images Kim especially the abstract work. Many thanks

[@jordilovesnikon]

Love how you do, spek and feel, great person. Love from Switzerland.

[@danaschulz8441]

Great images and also very good commentary. And I for one truly love your Scottish accent!!!

[@SingtotheMountainStudio]

Lovely to hear you comment on looking deeper. Such mindful skill to experience the world and make photographs

[@PeteLoughlin]

I love that focus stacking technique. It seems so obvious and so much easier than the faff of doing in the camera

[@Travelmaster64]

Sehr inspirierend. Wunderschön.

[@marcdowns8347]

I've not heard of focus stacking. An interesting item I'll look to use. Thanks

[@lynnsphotographygreenart8098]

Another awesome video and beautiful images Kim!!

[@chuckduzzie8529]

A beautiful video, your fantastic story telling voice … ☺️

[@momentsinanglingessence855]

A wonderful informative video Kim, I love how you see beauty in the simplest forms nature throws up and use your creativity to capture some great shots, I felt like I was there watching the sunset with you. Thanks!

[@marycarron5118]

You live in a beautiful place, Kim. Just to be there must be so therapeutic. I really love your images. I haven't done any focus stacking but I must give it a try. Always something new to learn.

[@kimgrantphotography]

It is so beautiful Mary! I can't wait to move back here full time. Thank you very much. Do enjoy trying out focus stacking

[@papotaino1516]

Beautiful capture 📸

[@ffstopP]

Excellent video, Kim. Thanks for the suggestions.

[@gordonmiller4439]

One of your best, Kim!

[@sadmanonatraintoo9781]

Stunning images and food for thought for me especially regarding lighting, thank you :) X

[@daniellegrandpa]

Good morning Kim, starting out my sunday is always better with your video. Your tips and ideas are always helpful and add to my knowledge of photography. There is no limit to what one can do or learn in the outdoors, it literally changes by the second, we are only limited by our imagination. I said it before, my "peace" is in the outdoors. Your a joy to watch, have a blessed week.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you! Wishing you a blessed week too :)

[@roberthennessey5702]

Beautiful I love the different sand textures..great ideas to try next time thank you Kim

[@timsatterfield1794]

Nice images, Like the lines around the images

[@LuisCruz-yg6rs]

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@5RustyBin]

Thanks Kim. DId some very similar shots down on the Solway coast recently. Lovely images. Subscribed.

[@tombriere6807]

Just discovered your channel and subscribed for more videos. Great job, stunning beach images and beautiful music!! Thank you

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you Tom and welcome

[@colinfreear4749]

Loved it Kim, thanks for taking us along.

[@MrsMinx50]

Kim I haven't watched in ages due to the fact I had emergency surgery on my spine I can't get out with my camera which gets me down 😢 my favourite was the focus stacked sunset it was absolutely stunning, this tutorial gave me an uplift thank you keep up the great work ❤👌

[@kimgrantphotography]

I'm sorry to hear this May. Wishing you well and a speedy recovery. Sincerely hope you're able to get out with your camera again in the near future ❤️

[@stevenaxelrod2909]

Fantastic images as usual , Kim. Thank you for sharing your focus stacking technique.

[@Mr407370]

awesome again. focus stacking rules. cheers

[@johnnysarjono7960]

Enjoyed this very much. I have found that if you wrap your tripod legs with plastic bags they are a lot easier to clean up after being in the sand.

[@jazzydebs]

Hi Kim, wow such beautiful light , what a stunning evening! Love the images! ( & especially the focus stacked blended image 🙌 ) Loving the orange glow! X

[@kimgrantphotography]

Hi Debbie and thank you very much! It was such a beautiful evening indeed

[@mandyboyd64]

Absolutely love the focus stacked image ❤

[@JohnJones-nb6wn]

Brilliant images Kim.

[@randyschwager2515]

Your focus stacked images are stunning! Thanks for taking me along!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

nice to see your still bashing out images and enjoying it all

[@daryldesjardins]

Hello from Canada, great shots. I'm definitely going to try the focus stacking , the results are stunning. Have a awesome day !

[@dlarge4616]

This is beautiful.

[@JaimeLacayoPTY]

WOW that was an amazing photograph!

[@copisetic1104]

I have used this for years in southern Utah, I rarely take a landscape picture anymore without using it.

[@christophergibbons8748]

Great vid, really enjoyed.

[@triscuba17]

The little ripples or bumps caught my eye right off the bat. One trait of a good photographer is being able to adapt to conditions or what nature presents. Great photo!!! What camera do you use?

[@jimhamilton8775]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jimgoodwin846]

Beautiful images

[@simonhealey1917]

Great video Kim really like thefocus stacked image and the abstracts at the end of your day 👍

[@laurelb8372]

Absolutely stunning images, love your videos

[@davidskinner274]

I agree with everything you said about fotprints, Kim

[@seamastergmt]

Nicely done!

[@stephenlathbury_photos]

Your photos are amazing!!! I live in San Francisco and want to try your techniques along the coast. Thank you

[@wildzenventures]

Stunning photography, thanks for sharing your tips! I also love abstract photos, I think beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. :). Cheers

[@outdoorsinontario3037]

Fantastic! Keep it up! You help inspire!!!

[@lawrencekeeney4317]

Great job Kim.

[@Aberug]

Hi Kim, I've just discovered you today on KZbin. I agree with you, in photography as on many other aspect of life, "there are no things like mistakes, all they're opportunities of learning". Thank you for your video and your words.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you very much!

[@recreationalplutonium]

with focus stacking your expensive dslr/mirrorless now finally produces smartphone level output!

[@johnearl2303]

Love the focus stacked sunset, I’ll have to give that method a try

[@uscameloptics]

Fantastic landscape!!

[@dunrobincourt]

Interesting use of available technology - but still simple. Nicely illustrated. B

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Enjoyed the video as usual Kim. You captured some really nice image's as usual. The image that you photo stacked was brilliant. Look forward to the next one. Take care.

[@warrengh5647]

Great advice Kim and some that should inspire to go out, just because you should. On the focus stacking I watched a macro photographer take 80 plus images using stacking the auto feature. Subject was a flower and blimey it was sharp. 👌🏼

[@ralphmichaelferraro2398]

great composition ~going with the flow of energy I am not a big fan of focused stacking sometime out of focus Can add to the beauty

[@danram69]

love your vision

[@baobo67]

Nice in such a beautiful part of the world. Re foot prints. A set of foot prints accompanied by a dog's prints is nice, Also adult and child. Subscribed. Cheers from Australia.

[@donna.downey]

I always enjoy your videos Kim but I woke up about 3:00 am (Mississippi, USA) time and saw you just posted this video. I laid in my bed and watched the entire video! OMG! This is one of your best. The whole video from beginning to end... the music, the photography, the video itself and your magical words are all so inspiring. I just wanted to say thank you for always inspiring us to pick up our cameras and shoot no matter our area, the weather, our mood. Peace!

[@kimgrantphotography]

This is such a beautiful comment Donna! Thank you so very much for watching all the way through at such an early hour of the day. Really does mean a lot :)

[@donna.downey]

@@kimgrantphotography Truthfully Kim... I'm a CPA who has been working 7 days a week since just COVID. Your videos have helped get me through a most difficult period. I have now watched this particular video four times! Thank you for your content. You will probably never know how you have touched so many people. Hugs.

[@metalmick99]

Thank you, Kim. Such wonderful images, and you explained your thoughts for the compositions so well, including where the compositions didn't work for you, which is just as helpful for someone like me. In a happy coincidence, I head for the coast in a few weeks, so I'll see how I go with the lessons you delivered.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Enjoy your trip to the coast ☺️

[@scrappedlives]

Gorgeous images. I'm going to Scotland in the fall. Looking forward to it.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Wishing you a lovely time when fall arrives 🍂
