I've always been someone who'd take as many Images as possible whenever I went on my Holidays...
Not once did I think about getting into Photography, not even back in 2013 when I inherited a Lens from a Family member, which "forced" me into buying my first DSLR - I'd like to say that Lockdown changed my attitude, but it was post-lockdown in 2021 where it all truly began... a trip to Cornwall and on a whim decided to take my DSLR with me... I hadn't used it for a few years at time.
That trip was the tipping point... Capturing Golden Hour, I got hooked in this amazing hobby, so when I got home, I decided to learn everything I could about Photography, either by getting out, or via. CZcams.
I then decided to create this... My own Channel at the start of 2023...
An opportunity to share my adventures out, to show I'm still very much learning, improving, and hopefully over time that'll become evident with the work I get to share with you... Thanks for stopping by, thanks for watching.

The Realities of Landscape Photography
This video brings my time in Cornwall to an end, its been an amazing, and fun experience putting this together across the course of August, sharing not just the Photography trips out from what is a stunning region, but the whole trip from leaving home to the journey as well - I will be back out in Kent with the Camera next week, and weather dependant, this wont be the last trip outside my home county in 2024. Thank you so much for watching, I hope you've found this video interesting, and that you've enjoyed this series just as much as I have done putting it together!!
Nice work, and some fantastic photos. The dunes at Hollywell are a good place to find Sea Holly. Next time you are down here - check out Constantine Bay and Porthcothan.... and of course, St Just.
@@mattwhorlow9900 Thanks so much for the kind words, plus the recommendations... I actually found out about Constantine Bay a few days after getting home so will definitely have to take a trip there next year... 👍👍
Lovely Landscape and a place I have never been to. No I don't avoid summer, it's another season to enjoy, I don't worry about the strong colours or Blue Skies (Think Franco Fontana).
Cornwall comes in first with me, but the other side starting at Looe and right the way around to St Ives, I stay in Falmouth hence the directions I go in. North Wales, Lleyn Peninsula, Anglesey, Barmouth/Fairbourne and the North East coast,. Keep shooting.
@@iaincphotography6051 thanks Iain, really need to get down to Looe sometime, that area of Cornwall is an area I haven't really touched yet in all the years I've been going down there
Hi Neil, your enthusiasm comes across in the video mate, I love Cornwall, memories of childhood family holidays and fantastic scenery, I can't wait to get back there with my camera 🙂
Thanks Steve - Yeah I love it down that way, already looking forward to getting back next year!! 👍👍
Hello ! Étant Français, je ne comprends pas toujours tout ce que tu dis, mais tes images sont splendides ! 👍
Merci beaucoup, j'apprécie vraiment - je vais essayer d'améliorer les sous-titres qui sont téléchargés pour les futures vidéos, afin que CZcams ne les massacre pas lorsqu'il essaie de traduire automatiquement 😊👍👍
Hi Neil. Just love Cornwall mate, it such an amazing place. Been almost 2 years since I been down there. Fingers crossed next year I be going. Loved the images. Looking forward to your next one. Take care mate. Shawn.
Thanks mate... Yeah its an amazing region, already got plans to go back next year, which I cant wait to do - You take care too 👍👍
Do you have a favourite Coastline in England... Let me know if Cornwall is up there, and where in the region that you love to visit if ever you head down to the South West - Thank you so much for watching, I hope you've found this video useful, and interesting!!
Bat @2:52, bat fans.
I'd never noticed that before then!!
Cracking video suggestion from the CZcams algorithm gods. I’ve recently started getting into church architecture and photography so this was really helpful and informative. Subbed and looking forward to more of your content.

Hi Neil, I love Cornwall and need to get down there again this year, before this year ends 🤣 you managed some great shots in the nature reserve mate and I'll be looking forward to what is coming up next. Take care, Steve.
@@SteveMorris1964 Yeah there aren't many spots on the Coast that are better than Cornwall - I might try to get down again before the end of the year myself... I'll have to see... Definitely pleased with some of the shots I've got edited ahead of the next video 👍👍
Some nice shots, Neil. I'm looking forward to the next ones. My missus lived in Perranporth (briefly) and my family used to holiday there when I was a kid. I must get down there as and when the opportunity arises.
Thanks Paul - Had a great time down there as always... Just got the joy of editing a lot of Images lol! - My next two videos aren't far from Perranporth actually, one (mostly) from Holywell Bay and the other around St. Agnes Head
Great video and images from your first day. That was an epic drive down to Cornwall, we spent many happy holidays in a tent, I remember having a marathon drive to the lake district in a metro towing a trailer loaded with camping equipment. We switched from a tent to a caravan many many years ago, can't beat the comfort of the caravan, we do miss the ease of camping trips compared to dragging a 30 foot 1.5 ton caravan around the countryside. Take a look at our holiday vlogs. Looking forward to the next installment. If you ever get near Weymouth Bennets world of water is the place to visit for lilies.
Yeah definitely clocked up the mileage getting down there lol!... I've always been a bit worried about towing a Caravan myself, think the best alternate option for me away from a tent, is a campervan - Maybe one day though!! - Thanks for the Weymouth tip, will definitely take a look at your holiday vlogs 👍👍
Great video Neil. Loved the Lilly pad shots, really nice. Can’t believe you drove through Keith Guppy territory and didn’t stop to say hello. I’m curious to know, do you find this end of the country any different to photograph to where you usually photograph.
I should have done on the way home mate... Took me forever to get back to Kent!! - The A303 is hell Erm - Really good question... Its easy in the sense that I can jump on Instagram see locations, and see what shots have worked in the past. Yet at the same time, I can get to a location, and its completely different to what I suspected, Wheal Coates for example was so much more hilly than what I thought it would be - I also address it in a video that's coming up, about Long Exposures... I find them so easy here, because there isn't that much surf, whilst the waves create so much down in Cornwall, I actually find them a touch harder.
@@neilstevensphotography sounds counter productive but I always travel up to Bristol via M5 and then down to Kent via M4 and M25, missing all that traffic (usually) you should do an expectation versus reality video.
Yeah I think its only about an extra 30-miles that route... I never trust how problematic the motorways can be either, think its a lose / lose situation really, your ending up in traffic which ever way you go. Not a bad idea for a video though!!
Well the trip to Cornwall has technically come to an end, so over the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing some of the great adventures that I was able to enjoy down on the South West Coast - Is there any one else out there who has unorthodox hidden gems, favourite spots that they enjoy visiting when heading to other regions... Especially areas that others wouldnt necessarily think of? I hope you enjoyed this video, and found it interesting!!
Hope you have a great time in Cornwall. Getting ready to do something similar. A drive to the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. for a photo trip.
Thanks 👍👍 - Jealous of that road trip up the PNW though!!
Greetings from Cornwall where I'm busy putting together a bit more content over the next few weeks Hope that you enjoyed this video, and found it interesting 👍👍 - Should you comment I do apologise if I'm slow replying, mobile data isn't great where I'm staying
Nice video mate. Love the idea of documenting your whole process, look forward to seeing more
Cheers mate... Yeah got the idea from how Thomas Heaton documents more than just the end trip - Just means a lot to film lol!
Hi Neil. Great video mate. Nice images. Hope your ok mate. Take care, Shawn
Thanks mate... Hope that you're doing well 👍👍
Canon shooter here too...i agree gear is costly where i live too with the shipping and taxes..agree with u .. socials is a next i treat social media with a small doses and i dont even share much again only when i feel..like i say i am hobbiest and do this with my fulltime job for fun...keep up yhe good work Neil
Seems these days, it doesnt matter what gear you use... Its all really costly sadly - Remember though, we might just be hobbyists with Photography, but at least the pressure is off, and we can just enjoy the moments, without worrying about whether we'll make money from it.
I look around for gear on auction sites and in pawn shops. I don't mind used gear, in fact, I've only had a few brand new pieces of kit in my entire life, and even these were either bought with someone else's money (I spent part of a grant on photo gear once) or at a decent discount, after hunting for a few months. It makes no sense to pay the full price unless you really have to. That being said, gear needn't be super expensive; it's our expectations that are too high. We **want** those megapixels, we don't **need** them. Meanwhile, you can get excellent photos on a DSLR that's ten years old or even on a film SLR. File down your expectations and you'll be amazed at how little you actually **need** to pay for gear.
Yeah I've only got one piece of kit that isn't second hand... If you go to the right places then you can definitely end up with some good gear without paying top money!!
Great video Neil, some really nice images too. I think there are two types of images, one that you take of a grand vista type scene where the landscape does all the work for you. And then there are ones that look meh, that you see every day and you have to work to make a good composition, something you demonstrate by taking photos in the same locations, you make the ordinary look awesome. I think that’s what makes it worth it for me. It keeps me trying, because I don’t have the epic landscapes
Think that is so very true Keith... Its also worth going back to those spots time and again, as you never know how lucky you might get - That Sunrise shot of the boat is probably one of my favourites of the year
I carry a lumix gx80 for my bike rides wit 2 lenses getting me some images I am just as proud of taking on my Fuji , it’s just knowing how to use a camera and software
FWIW, 3-Legged Thing (based near Bedford) give their tripods names. My wife's is called "Brian". I might have a look at the K&F tripod if I need one in the future. So far, I've only used filters from K&F which seem okay.
Street photography and documentary photography are often conflated. Both are perfectly and equally valid genres but the best definitions I've come across are that the 'street' shooter specifically avoids contact with the subjects whereas the documentary shooter often creates some element of social contact / staging of the shot. Cartier-Bresson and Joel Meyerowitz and good examples of street shooters whereas the likes of Steve McCurry and Lee Miller are more documentarists. I've always found street photography (in particular) to be much easier in large / busy towns and cities. Blend in with the crowd, use a small / rangefinder style camera (or even iPhone). Urban shooters tend to fall into one of two categories. The first is a 'hunter'. Constantly moving and shooting opportunistically. The other is a 'fisherman' - who tends to pick a spot where the background and light are as required - and will then stand and observe for minutes (hours, even) until the scene reveals itself.
Cheers for that Paul - Not a bad idea to use the phone instead of the DSLR when out doing Street Photography in the future 👍👍
Some nice shots, Neil. I'm not sure if you're familiar with her work but there was a lady photographer / environmentalist called Fay Godwin who used to photograph man's impact on the landscape. Definitely worth checking out her books. I was luck enough to meet her at an exhibition many years ago. Here's a link to her Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Godwin
As far as social media is concerned, Neil, I don't believe it's important at all. I agree that it can be fun but it can also take up time which could be better spent taking photos, tending to the garden or just going for a walk. Clearly, it's different if you're trying to build a following and/or becoming a professional. One negative I have is getting to somewhere I actually find interesting and WANT to photograph. East Anglia (where I live) doesn't inspire me at all and because it's so far away from the hills and mountain scenery I love, getting there requires planning and a budget. Another negative is when shooting in the middle of the day is the only time available. I have found a way to flip this, though; get an infrared (IR) converted camera. Bright sun, high contrast, etc are the ideal conditions for IR and I always pack my IR body whenever I'm out - just incase the skies are blue and the contrast is off the scale.
Yeah I can really relate to what you say there Paul... Social Media is one for me, where I just get bored of having to take the time to post, as its just a chore, this is where I like YT as it allows me to add in the experience of getting out to the location, and sharing the Images in one go - Agree as well about the planning needed to go further afield, I'm off to Cornwall on Friday for a week, and in the process now actually of looking around for various spots to get out with the Camera!! I like the idea of getting a IR Camera, and think its one of the best aspects of Photography, in the sense that there are no limitations, Landscape Photography may be our favoured avenue for example, but no where does it stop you from branching out to other areas of the hobby
Thanks for watching!! - I hope that you've found this video useful, and, or interesting... I'm sure there are Negatives reasons behind getting out as an Amateur Photographer... However don't get me wrong, Photography is an amazing hobby, and if you've my previous videos you'll know how much the Positives out way the Negatives - Let me know though down in the comments , what things you dislike about Photography, are there other aspects, or can you relate?
Great video sir..i have been wanting to start to practice se landscapes photography.reason i moved to the country in my location... really to have experience these English scenery.i am from the Caribbean..hope to see your work n vids...cheers mate
Thanks so very much for the comment - Hope that you get a chance to get out and practice some Landscape Photography, found there have been some great scenes to be found 👍👍
Dude, it's nearly 7 minutes of this 13+ minute video and I hear "before we get started" on the titular subject. Where did you learn to structure your essays? And then: 5 seconds that practically close the subject. This should be a tiktok short. And I'm not saying a bad word about your photography, mind you.
Great video, I am an amateur and aspiring photographer, I just wondered if you could tell me if you are over exposing your shots slightly and if so are you doing it with shutter speed, compensation, both or post production. thank you in advance.
@jonnyspeed6099 thanks for the comment... It really depends on the shot really, majority of the time I'll expose to the right, so that there is the slightest spike - Otherwise I tend to Bracket, so take three shots, one over exposed, one under exposed (the Sunrise shots were taken that way), and then use Lightroom to merge them together. Have never used Shutter Speed compensation, I shoot completely in Manual mode when doing it, watching the Histogram more than the EV to be honest Hope that helps?
Nice
@@walkfree8282 thank you 👍👍
First time viewer. Just wanted to compliment you on the images, and your production too.
Thank you, is really kind of you to say... Really appreciate it 👍👍
I bought my first DSLR in April 2010. I thought I'd need it for work. I didn't. I tried out the camera and then left it buried in the closet. I started taking photographs three years ago when I launched my CZcams channel and needed to make thumbnails. While food photography wasn't my thing and I think most of my video thumbnails suck, I did develop an interest in other photography genres, macro initially, then landscape/woodland. Lately, I've been trying out some street and architecture photography. So I had a very competent camera with two equally competent (even by today's standards) lenses for ten years. I could make good use of the gear, but I didn't. This is my greatest regret.
Yeah I can definitely relate to that, what with getting my first DSLR in 2013, which I barely used for eight years!! - Hope that you feel as though you're getting much more use out of it now though?
@@neilstevensphotography I've sold it and bought a mirrorless instead, but yes, I'm getting a lot of use from my current gear. I still sometimes think about where I'd be with my photography if I hadn't wasted a decade the way I did.
@@DominikMarczuk Yeah Mirrorless cameras are so much better, for me at least anyway. It didn't take me long to upgrade once I got back into it
@@neilstevensphotography Mirrorless cameras are easier to use because you always know the exposure you're getting. The histogram is an added bonus. I still love SLRs though and shoot a lot of film. Which reminds me. I need to run to the lab to pick up last week's negs and drop off yesterday's roll for development :)
Hi Neil, hope you’re ok mate. Great video and a nice set of images. Take care mate, Shawn.
Thanks Shawn, am all good thanks... Hope that you're doing well too 👍👍
I keep saying I will come up and take a photo of the submarine but waiting for a red sky night to complement it, good videos
Thanks Trevor... Yeah was hoping for a better Sunrise that morning from the hill side... I didnt realise you can get a pretty decent shot of it down by the river as well 👍
I think the way software has come on it does not put so much pressure on the gear
Yeah thats very true as well...
Great video Neil!
Thanks so very much 👍👍
Thanks, Neil. Seeing this makes me want to get out even more. edit-typo
@@LarryMarvin You should definitely get out when you can - I find life is too short these days not to 👍👍
Great photos as always mate, early morning are always best for photography, nobody around and plenty of time before the day starts. loved the images of the abandoned buildings. No time like the present, get yourself back out there and make a video about it, would be great to see the difference. My biggest regret was buying before knowing, I spent way too much money on things I didn't really need lol love a long exposure shot, probably my favourite kind.
Cheers mate, might have to see if I can sneak closer later in the year to get back out there - Know what you mean about buying things you don't need... Impatience is probably an issue with me too, I'll buy something lesser rather than save up for the better version often rather than not
@@neilstevensphotography I tend to jump in, when really I should wait a few months read reviews and see what others think. More often that not I make the wrong choice and regret buying something or wishing I had a different version lol.
Great video Neil, how nice is it being able to switch from mount to mount, Game changer isn't it. I have one on my car, a chest strap, on a tripod, on a mini tripod and two on clips. Great images, lovely place by the looks of the photos.
I have to admit that I've still only got the one magnetic mount, need to get some more as like you say they're a game changer!! - Its so much easier to film on though, really haven't regretted that decision
@@neilstevensphotography Great camera, I do love DJI products thoug, the 5 will be out soon, hopefully they don't change the mount system on the bottom forcing upgrades.
Yeah hoping I havent rushed to buy the 4 with the prospect of the new Camera coming out 😬😬
I did photography at school back in the day when we did CSE's! I bought a film SLR during a gap year in 1984 but didn't really keep up with photography for many years. I wish I did. Despite that I took some interesting photos in the 1980s and 1990s which are a record of decades which have now past. Although I regret not doing as much photography as I could until a few years ago, we are fortunate in the range of modern cameras and lenses. It's never too late to start. Thank you for your inspiring videos.
Thanks Shaun - That's another thing I do regret, not having focused on it whilst in education, but at that point my knowledge of that type of career was zero. Plenty of time left (I hope) to enjoy it still now though Thank you too for your kind words 👍👍
I particularly enjoyed this video, as Cliffe is the place of my birth, and over the years I've spent many a happy hour on the Marshes and around the Pools. Some lovely shots in there by the way. I must revisit soon.
Yeah I've always loved the trip out to Cliffe Pools as well, dont get out there enough - The Explosion Works (not the Muntion Works as I incorrectly stated) were something I found randomly on Google Earth, and was a lovely but tiring trek up there... Definitely wont be the last time I go there either, shame its not easier to access the grounds, as imagine some close up shots would be even better
Thanks for watching!! - I hope that you've found this video useful, and, or interesting... Is there anything you regret from your Photography "journey" so far... Whether you didnt go to that one location you've always wanted to visit, you didnt buy the Gear that you've longed for... Let me know down in the comments below!!
Kind of get where you come from. Taking a camera with you makes you see things differently. That's why I have my camera with me all the time. Plan on going downtown again today for some street photography this afternoon. But I must add I am in China and people here do not really care. They are always taking selfies and pictures.
Great video, looking forward to the one about street photography as that's what I do mostly. Same parks, same birds got a bit boring. But you made my day when you said 25 degrees is hot😂. It's been between 35 and 37 every day this week. But need to be out to get a picture.. Also when it's so hot you can actually have a look there are should be butterflies and other insects around. I usually just adapt me perspective to my current situation
Thanks for the comment 👍👍 - The Street Photography one has been released, it was actually good fun putting it together, despite the anxieties lol! Its definitely been cooler here this summer, was 30 on Friday and was just far too hot for me to go outside 🤣 - Agree with you though, about adopting the perspective... Gives us the chance to do new things, and keep it interesting
I always hide that I'm taking photos when there are people around. Not because I'm nervous of confrontation - more that I can't be ARSED talking to people about it. When I hear, "What's 'e doin'?" "'E's tekkin' pictures!" "'Ere! What you tekkin' pictures of, mate?" The thought of trying to explain that I like the way the light is playing off the side of a leaf fills me with absolute dread. 😅
@@HughRaine Yeah I can relate with that too, even when out doing Landscape Photography, people presume I'm bird watching or something, and get a funny look at times when I say when I'm really doing 😂
Dude you've got street spot on. You've got that cool look to your images.
@@user-je3yv3ug3m thanks so very much 👍👍
