You're Probably using your Tripod WRONG (well I was)

Today I visit the Welsh coast to photograph the sunrise. On the way, I talk about how I set up my tripod for landscape photography.

A mistake a lot of photographers make is not having a black and white dog with them. I never make that mistake.

Hi Luna. It's lovely seeing photographers out with their dogs. Just adds to the experience 😊

Luna's the star of the show! A beautiful pup!

There are several things I've learned when shooting in wet sand close to the tide line. I keep several blank DVD disks in my bag, which spread the weight of a tripod leg in wet conditions. I also always rinse my 'pod in fresh water to remove any sand and, more importantly, salt from the legs. Great video, I subscribed.

I have just found your post, and it's excellent, both from a photography and video perspective. Your storytelling and explanations are very interesting and keep the audience attention. I am new to both photo and video and will watch all your posts from now on !! Great job. Well done.

Hello lan
Thanks for the tripod tip. Beautiful captures.
And l love the pup.
Hope you know how fortunate you are. Snapping pics in wonderful locations and a loving pup…

I always snap a few pics handheld right away if the light threatens to fade quickly. *Then* set up the tripod and fine tune the composition. That way you'll have something to work with if the light goes before you're done futzing.

Great video, Ian. It's a pleasure to watch a genuine enthusist.

Thanks for an awesome video. Your dog is lovely nice to see man’s best friend accompanying you whilst you’re out in the field 👍

[daviddelaney]

After watching a few of your videos I can tell I am improving already. I am putting notes in my camera pack so I remember next time out in the field. Great videos. Thank you!

[randyschwager]

Great video! Beautiful puppy! Thanks for taking me along!

[davidcrossley]

The photo looking through the rocks is beautifully composed.The light is fantastic all round an excellent photograph 👍

Sound practical advice Ian, for somebody like me who generally can't be bothered with the faff of getting the tripod set up, thank you! Luna is a star! So entertaining watching her antics trying to get you to throw the ball! Nice one mate! 🤣

Great video! Luna is a beauty! I have a hammock back (stone bag) that attaches to each leg. Placing a large rock in the bag really helps in the wind and also it is a great place to put filters, caps etc.

Great video Ian, as usual and good to meet Luna!

[Abrasca]

Nice content, nice video and stunning photos! Bravo. W Luna !

[randyschwager]

Great tips! Thanks for taking me along!

Love your videos Ian. Just one comment on something you've said here regarding tripod positioning on slopes. You suggest that 2 legs lower on the slope for safety .. However, I work in TV and we always teach 1 single leg lower on the slope. Reason for this is that 2 legs create a pivot point whereas 1 leg doesn't. I know this is true because when I was a Camera Assistant I let go of a top-heavy tripod and turned my back resulting in it tipping over and bending a £4000 head (no camera thankfully). Luckily a friendly Grip bent it back again and I wasn't fired! True story ..

This video as a whole was very helpful.

Loved the addition of Luna! Now that Luna knows how to get your attention, next trip you'll have to point your camera away from your comp, then spin it back around before she figures out what you're doing (and that won't take her long! 🙂)
