A song for the Blue Whale, by @hanszimmer 🐋 If you’ve been following me for a while now, it’s likely not a secret that I have a major love and passion for film scores. One of my favorite parts about filming wildlife is finding a beautiful piece of music to set the footage too. Most of the time that is for a simple social media clip or the occasional long-form YouTube video. Never did I imagine that one day my favorite composer of them all would compose original music for something I filmed. A few years ago I was pitched a project to film Blue Whales for a new landmark nature series that would air on broadcast television here in the United States. The early stages of these projects are often kept tightly under wraps, but it was one I was happy to sign on for since I would get to stay local to my home in San Diego. They had yet to announce a narrator by the time we started filming, but the team did let me in on one little secret before hitting the water for the first time: @hanszimmer would be composing the score. The footage captured from that summer was once-in-a-lifetime. When working on a project like this you can spend weeks filming these animals without knowing which shots(if any) will make the final cut…that is until that one fateful day when you happen to capture something so unique and spectacular that you just KNOW. I remember being on the boat that day as we drove home, thinking to myself how what we just filmed would one day have original music from Hans Zimmer composed for it. It was as surreal as it was exciting. While our episode hasn’t been released yet(it’s coming April 6th), they did just release the soundtrack to the entire series. That’s when I saw one the one title I’ve been waiting for the most: The Blue Whale. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me a little bit emotional listening to it for the first time…and I can’t wait to see how the full sequence turns out!

One photo from a landscape photography travel destination followed by one photo from Denmark my home country. Once it clicked and I figured I could probably get something along the same lines as what I’ve captured out there in world, whether it’s the same conditions, same subject, same technique or same composition, it became soooo much more fun to shoot at home. It really did change my photography forever! No we still don’t have mountains, epic waterfalls, cracking glaciers, puffins, whales and big deserts, but we have so many other things. Check out my latest video on YouTube where I teach you to photograph locally. AND if you want to dig even further into local landscape photography be sure to get me and @nigel.danson course on Mastering Local Landscape Photography.In this 4+ hour and 13 video course we’ll be teaching you how to find great locations, how to use them optimally, what strategies to use to optimise your chance of getting great photos, what to do on location, how to compose, edit and print what you capture, what apps to use and much more!
