I Wish I Knew THIS When I Started PHOTOGRAPHY

I would be interested in a video where you take an amateur/beginner photographer with you on one of your trips and you help the amateur find compositions, set up camera settings, etc. It would be like a sneak peek on some of your workshops, which would be fascinating to see!

Many of us amateurs “cook” cakes…. the real pros “bake” cakes…LOL!… the scenery in your video is incredible, Nigel…

Finding winning compositions in “ your own back yard”. We can’t all make it to the epic locations often enough. But I would think that every location has at least SOME shots that would have both beauty and broad appeal.

I would like to see a video where you talk about your favorite photographers and what you like about their work.

I loved the frozen foliage image. So right, experiment.

sunrise is so much more peaceful than sunset and a much cooler light, the air is a lot more clear

Hi, Nigel, I would like to see how you prepare your files to be printed in such a beautiful book :) Thank you so much for keeping it going! All the best of luck!

I'd LOVE to see a video of you critiquing images. I know you have done it before on webinars and things but to do one on YouTube would be awesome! Make it long so there's more images. I learn SO much from those. You can do a variety of our images and even critique some of your favorite photographers.

A video about photography in difficult conditions would be helpful. Sometimes its the gear, sometimes its the weather and it would be interesting to hear from you what in your opinion are the things you can sacrifice in order to still capture an interesting photo.

I'd love to see a video where you expand on the idea of not being able to find a shot. As viewers, we know that you guys film a lot of your outings that don't turn out and it never gets posted. Show us that. Show us the struggle and frustration. Why didn't things work out? There's so much more to learn from failures than success. We talk a lot about the value of exclusion in a landscape scene, but maybe more importantly we can all be better at "excluding" whole scenes and conditions that are just not conducive to compelling images.

Yet another great video for all us Novices out there! I've learnt so much watching your you-tubes (steadily working my way through your entire back catalogue!) so please keep them coming. Id really love for you to do another video where viewers can send in their favourite pictures and you deliver constructive criticism on them, maybe even a group of you all feeding back? The one you did before was really good. So many of us out there just not sure if we are on the right track or not so this would be fantastic for the community

I think you can sum up this video very simply- I'm almost 76 now and my lifelong enjoyment of photography started at secondary school at the age of 11, when I joined a lunchtime camera club run by a brilliant Art Teacher who, was also an amazing Photographer. I'll never forget the fun we, as 11 year olds, had when we learned the magic of making and using Pinhole Cameras. So, putting it quite simply... "Never forget the Basics". But I've also realised that there are now so many "Experts" on YouTube (and other sites) and, the advice from every single one is different. They ALL have their own version of 'Rules'. None are wrong, yet equally- Which 'Expert' is right? Every one of us has our own pair of eyes, and through those eyes we see what we want to see. Does your favourite photo conform to every rule? Mine certainly doesn't. it's my favourite because "I Like it". So remember- "Never forget the Basics" AND "If we were all the same, Life would be very Boring".

Hey Nigel. I think it will be pretty cool to see 50mm woodland challenge between you Michael Shainblum, Mark Denney and Mads Peter Iversen . It will be pretty cool to see all four of you, one of the most talented photographers shooting only 50mm woodland photography ☺️☺️☺️

inspiring in the best possible way - it's inspiring to go out

A video on what you do and how you plan your trips, from researching locations to weather and gear would be really helpful.

From being from a disabled household I’d love to see how you would prepare a day out shooting from the car or a few steps from the car , if it would be successful and incorporating any style of photography, best regards

Hi Nigel, another idea is Photography as art, composition is something that all photographer cover, but landscape art photography is something beautiful!.

An Idea for future video: Do a co-lab with Sean Tucker. You doing some street photography, then Sean doing landscape. Sean is awesome regarding his creativity, especially how to make light work for you. Additionally, his knowledge of the psychology behind taking images and how it influences us, whether consciously, or unconsciously would be interesting to see how you both tackle each other's gengre.

What about a session on salvaging old photos? Going back to shots you'd previously done and discarded, to re crop or re edit into something you hadn't quite seen in it previously?

I'd like to see a video on how you plan and prepare for a photography trip, especially when it's to a new place where you can't go and shout ahead of time.
