The MOST important PHOTOGRAPHY TIP for a NEW location

There is one thing I do whenever I visit a new location. In this video I explain how I get one of my favourite images of 2020 and how this simple tip can help your photography when you next visit travel somewhere new.

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

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 🙏

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.

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

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

That tree belongs in the courtyard of Minas Tirith haha.

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

Amazing Nigel! Your an inspiration even for me as a local guide and amateur photographer. The tree it´s actually an "Erica arborea" hundreds of years old tree/bush that burned on 2010 forest fire. The hard wood, reason it was important for local population, still stands for many years, and many to come, as a reminder of how fragile indigenous forest are, and how important it is to protect it! cheers!

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

[johntravena]

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

[ishtaar]

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

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.

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.

[nicolinogiangiordano]

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

[wolfgangwiesinger]

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

[cyrilbataille]

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

[gerhardgraf]

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...

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!

[raphaelfischer]

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

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
