Outdoor Photography How To

Want to see something you don’t see every day—something, in fact, you can’t really see at all?

Many of the most dramatic outdoor images are made by experienced photographers using neutral density (ND) filters in conjunction with long exposures. In the video below you’ll learn everything you need to know about choosing the proper ND filter for the scene at hand and using it properly.

Krystle Wright is a nomadic adventure photographer from Australia who travels the globe in a quest to capture dramatic images of expeditions and extreme sports. She recently sat down with our sister network GrindTV to discuss the dangers and rigors of a commitment to push herself beyond what might be considered sane.

Thomas Heaton is an acclaimed British landscape photographer with over 100,000 followers on his YouTube channel, and he recently decided to get away from it all on the Greek Island of Rhodes. Fortunately for all his fans, Heaton just can’t sit still on the beach, and just happed to have a DJI Mavic Pro drone in his backpack.

Time-lapse videos are all the rage these days but there’s much that separates a decent time-lapse from a great one. One thing that can help set your time-lapse apart is to feature some type of movement in the video to give it a more dynamic look. And one way to add movement is by using some type of camera slider.
