Why I Stopped Posting Landscape Photography Videos on YouTube
In May 2022, I stopped posting landscape photography videos on CZcams. After a break of more than a year, I am now ready to reveal the reason why.
Filmed on location on Melmerby Low Scar in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, I take the opportunity to explain why I stopped creating landscape photography videos for CZcams and what has changed in the last year and a half.
Join me as I share the challenges I have faced in the last 18 months and the new ones I now must overcome as I attempt to photograph a new area.
To read my honest appraisal of the photo that I captured on Melmerby Low Scar, check out this blog post on my website.

Why Landscape Photographers must be Flexible
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 lety
Success in landscape photography so often comes down to our ability to match a location to the conditions. A bit of careful planning can significantly increase our chances of being in the right place at the right time. But with so much dependent upon the weather, sometimes things just don’t go to plan. Planning is an important part of landscape photography. However, we have to be flexible enoug...
Woodland Photography - A Valuable Lesson for All Landscape Photographers
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 2 lety
This week I have been photographing the woods at Brandelhow and Manesty overlooking Derwent Water in the northern Lake District. I learnt a very valuable lesson about woodland photography that I think all landscape photographers need to hear. I have always struggled with woodland photography. For many years it has been my nemisis. But for the past 12 months I have been working hard to improve m...
Canon EOS M50 + Canon EF-S Lenses | The Perfect Pair?
zhlédnutí 30KPřed 2 lety
The Canon EOS M50 is extremely popular with video creators, but I believe that it is hugely underrated as a stills camera. This is in part at least due to the limited line-up of Canon EF-M lenses. In this video I experiment using my M50 with 2 of Canon's EF-S lenses, on loan from mpb.com. Could this be a perfect pairing? MPB is an online platform where photographers and videographers can buy an...
A Different Approach to Landscape Photography

Are you bored with landscape photography? Tired of the same old approach extolled by the tripod & filter brigade?* In this video, I share a different approach to landscape photography.

Along the way, I attempt to capture images that help tell t...

Landscape Photography without a Plan
zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed 2 lety
As the saying goes, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail". When it comes to landscape photography, careful planning dramatically increases your chances of success, at least in my experience. When I am out with my camera, at least 90% of the time I know exactly what I am going to shoot. This approach has helped me to build a portfolio of images that I am proud of. However, as my photography has imp...
Is the NiSi Ture Color Variable ND Filter Really Colour Neutral?

History & Culture - Photographing a Lake District Village
zhlédnutí 4,4KPřed 2 lety
I have been photographing the Lake District for many years, and in that time I have learnt that the more we know about our subject, the better our photographs are. In order to produce our best work, it helps to emerse ourselves in the history and culture of an area. So, in this video I spend some time exploring the village of Dacre, learning about its church, castle and the Dalemain Estate. #Ph...
I Stole Everything from Other Landscape Photographers

Landscape photography is difficult skill to master, so it stands to reason that the best people to learn from are those that have already mastered it! In this video I share how I have built my approach to photogaphy by stealing ideas from the landscape photographers that I look up to. But is it really stealing? Artists have been stealing from each other for centuries - except they don't think o...

An Important Lesson That All Landscape Photographers Must Learn

Success in landscape photography is so often a case of being in the right place at the right time, but planning will only get you so far. And what should you do if things do not go your way?

Would I return home empty handed, or would a change of approach...
I Forgot the MOST Important Thing in Landscape Photography
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 2 lety
Landscape photography is a serious business. It takes a lot of work to produce high-quality images and years of dedication to master our craft. But if we are not careful, we run the risk of losing touch with what drew us to photography in the first place. In this video I address one of the mistakes that I have made recently. I spend a morning hiking up Wren Crag near St John's in the Vale in th...

    CZcams and Social Media is a cesspool and cancer is ugly too (I had my own head and neck cancer in 2018/2019). However, life is arguably about the search for beauty, and photography offers us photographers a path to find that beauty. So to youtube or not, doesn't matter in this search for beauty. BUT, hopefully you still have photography itself in your own quest to find love/beauty. Thank you Plato for this insight. Take care Chris.

    M50 Mark II este super .Prima camera a fost un canon 4000 D , pe care il folosesc cu drag , apoi pt filmari pe you tube am achizitionat un canon M 50 II cu obiectiv 15-45 , dar simteam ca am prea putin asa ca am cumparat un obiectiv macro pt M 22 mm ,apoi un adaptor canon EF S - M , apoi obiectivul EF-S 10-18 mm , EF S 24 mm, EF 50 mm , iar Sigma 28-70 mm vintage pt canon l-am primit cadou , pt zoom sunt pt un Sigma 18-250 foarte accesibil pe Amazon . Este o pasiune foarte frumoasa pt timpul liber , costisitoare , dar cu multe satisfactii personale . Cel mai recent aparat este canon R 10 cu 18-45 mm pt filmari din mai multe unghiuri si astept de pe Amazon adaptorul EF-R , sper sa invat cat mai multe despre fotografie si filmari , pt sunet folosesc un microfon Wavo joby foarte calitativ la fel ca si Rode . I curand vreau sa achizitionez pt sunet la distanta un lavalier simplu sau dublu Rode , dar urmeaza , pacat ca obiectivele canon M nu pot fi folosite si pe alte monturi , dar gasim alte variante .

Since the camera is an APS-C, this filter is fine, I can't find any information about it? Do you recommend purchasing two Vario filters for the different diameters or just the 67 mm one

It was your channel that got me back into photography. So you will always have my gratitude for that.

    I wish you hadn't tried to do it in 5 min, I'd rather a little more time and explanation. I'm finding these website makers don't allow me to show my photos as I took them, they keep cropping them to fit the mold. I should be able to adjust that myself, if I want.

    CZcams is definitely an uphill struggle at the start mate but you have more than broke the back of establishing your channel and it would be an absolute shame to walk away. When I look back on my life I regret letting other people impact my life in negative ways, today I just delete these people from my life and focus on my own journey and those who are with me and support me on it. Thank you for opening up and for getting this video out, it wasn’t an easy video for you to make but you did an amazing job all things considered. I am a Christian and I believe in the power of prayer so I just want you to know that I am behind you and will be praying for you. Take care my friend.
