Today, Luna & I take a trip into the forest to capture the last of the autumn colour. During the video, I share some profound advice that I was given during a photography workshop when I first turned pro, advice that ended up saving my career.

To quote a well known bard, "To thine own self be true." Applies to many things, photography, included.
Nice quote 👍👍
I really like how you take us with you on a photo expedition , share your thought process behind the photos, share your experience, and the heart behind it all.
Thanks so much, i'm glad you like the videos. 👍🙏🙏
Ian: "I'm sure glad they built a bridge over this small stream." Luna: "Heck yes, a small stream to jump through!!!" 🙂🙂
She loves the water, the muddier, the better haha
I've been watching a show called The Voice. In a nut shell, super star singers pick teams and then coach these teams through the competition. One of the things that they all teach is connecting to the song the contest is singing on a personal level. I think in a way you're saying the same thing and it's great advice. Subscribed. Thanks!
Great video again and great advice too. Thank you and looking forward to the next!
Great video as always. Been a creative rut. This helps.
Thanks for all the useful videos. It's a great time to be learning about photography with pros like yourself giving viewers information that simply can't be found in a classroom.
My last outing was dismal but can't wait to go out again. Always learning.
Great content
Awesome Advice. We should always focus on our passions in photography and let the rest happen with knowledge and time.
Great images and advice, thank you.
My pleasure! 👍
Great film Ian, doesn't seem that long since we were in Barton Seagrave and you were just down the road! Hope you're enjoying West Wales as much as we are North Yorkshire! Wish you and your family a fantastic xmas! Your flour legged friend certainly seems to be enjoying life! Cheers Tony.
Hey Tony, yes loving it here in wales, and i'm glad you are enjoying your move too, lot's to shoot Yorkshire. .Happy Xmas too 👍👍
Merci beaucoup pour ces conseils ,excellente vidéo .
Thank you 🙏
Lovely pace & production Ian. Always enjoy your vids and works mate.
Glad you like them!
Yet again some excellent advice. It is also amazing how you manage to find a stunning shot in a landscape that to a cursory view appears fairly bland. You really are a woodland photographer "par excellence" and I am really enjoying your videos.
Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot 🙏🙏
beautiful images! great point that it's most important to shoot for you first
So true Brian 👍👍
Great video! I love the way you share your adventures and knowledge with us along with your settings for each shot which really helps me. Luna was sure trying to get some big sticks, lol.
Thanks so much. Yeah she loves a stick, the bigger, the better haha 😂🐾
I really quite enjoy when a photographer, such as yourself, shares their more complex shots and thoughts, especially when they clearly love what they do. I feel like some of your photos really speak to me in a language I am only beginning to understand. They require a lingering contemplation. more of a scroll, pause... and stop! Thanks. My kindest regards to you Ian.
Thank you, such lovely words 🙏👍
Thanks Ian! I love shooting landscape but I am not a paid professional. I am retired and enjoy not being tethered to someone else’s expectations so I can make a living. I enjoy people photos but prefer candid over posed. I think it shows the personality more. Knowing the person raises the awareness of that person and therefore better prepared to capture the peak expression of their personality.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching 🙏🙏
Great video Ian! I really like the mossy trees with the Fall leaves! I have been chasing Mist the last couple of days here as well; hmmm, a video on that would be fun?
I seem to spend most of my life chasing mist lol. it's elusive stuff... 👍👍
Ian, I received my copy of your Zine today. The shipping to the USA was fast and trouble-free. You did a nice job and this was a great way to put together a collection of beautiful photos. I must get over to Wales soon. Not only to see the natural beauty and historic castles, but also because my Father's mother was a Griffith and many of my Aunts married into other Welsh immigrant families. Love your work.
Awesome, thank you so much, yes, you should definitely visit wales 👍👍
Enjoyed that , thankyou for adding your settings on each photo as an amateur it gives me more insight. Pete Western Australia
Glad you enjoyed it Pete 👍👍
I love the reminder about "shooting for yourself". I'm one of those who've been a photographer for a lot of years, but don't seem to settle in to a genre. I love portraits, and I also love landscapes. I think the pure enjoyment of photography draws me to portraiture, while my strong introverted self loves the experience of great nature and landscape photography. I'm old enough and been shooting long enough that I've given up on trying to please others. I do now days tend to shoot for myself, and I am always delighted to find people who enjoy and appreciate my style. I just can't get disciplined enough to focus on the business end of things. I get some local word of mouth work and that keeps me just barely going, but I do need to do more of the work "stuff". Ughh...
excelente trabajo
Thanks 👍👍
Those images around 7.20+ are great. Nice use of nature’s colours
Glad you like them! 🙏🙏
Thank you for that great advice! I have been following you, Henry Turner, Nigel Danson and Mark Denny. This made me think about how I have been trying to "replicate" the style of photos you take. Of course I don't live in an area with as much dramatic landscape, I guess I've been trying to build the type of compositions that you guys do. My next trip out I will try to concentrate on what is compelling to me and see if I get myself unstuck. Thank you again. Hopefully one day I'll be able to get over there and do a 1 in 1 workshop with you. But if you ever come to the US to do a workshop please let me know so I can be one of the first to sign up.
Thanks for the kind words my friend, i'm glad you are enjoying the channel and if you ever get over to Wales, be sure to let me know. 👍👍
Count me in on a Workshop here in the US!
I really like your philosophy mate it's about learning isn't it I've learnt a lot I'm in that stage of being semi professional. I do professional work but don't do it full-time and to be honest where I live mate in Australia. It's only a small place and I don't think there's enough work here to be a full-time professional photographer, but I'm okay with that.. I have a well-paid day job and I still enjoy that job as well and I only do that four days a week, leaving me lots of time for Photography projects and eventually I may even cut that back to 3 days a week. I'm loving life with balance. There's definitely many things I've learned becoming into the professional space and that's about networking. This year I sold a local calendar and I sold 500 calendars which is an amazing achievement. I made the effort to meet every person that received their calendar except for the mail order ones obviously so I got to know my customer base this time was valuable in the last six weeks I've sold like 20 large prints to those same customers who bought calendars. I actually don't have a website and it's funny because in Australia people just don't use them. I do need one probably more to look professional than anything else and I'm in the process of building one at the moment. I always appreciate your advice. I have done some work around how to promote social media wise and what to do, and what not to do, and I've learnt the algorithm quite well as well
Thanks, Ian. What course did you do to help you turn pro? Do they still run them?
Quick question. Have you noticed that with the X-H2 the lens refraction sets in earlier? Seen some reports that with the increased density of the sensor and higher resolution using smaller apertures may be a bigger issue. Fantastic video btw, as always. I also have the 70-300 and it’s a really good lens for the price tag.
I haven't really noticed it on my current lenses, my 10-24 was really soft paired with the xh2 but that is the only problem ive encountered so far. I'm happy shooting at f13 on my 16-55 the IQ looks great.
@@ian_worth thanks. I haven’t noticed any major issues also that’s why I asked. Wondering if I needed to check my eyes :) I also have the 16-55, the 70-300 and got the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 that I must say I’m very happy with. I’m considering testing the 10-18 2.8 from sigma because for woodland and landscape having a wide zoom helps a lot. Cheers and thanks for your feedback
Where did you get that big/huge microfibres cloth you use to cover the camera should the clouds open? And if or when you answer I haven’t a clue where I will find your answer, hopefully you will put your answer in “the Comments and …. Tank you. Although I hate the feel of them it’s like running your nails down on a Blackboard lol. Steve
I never purchase anything from CZcams adds.
The photography community, and particularly the clubs, is chock-full of technically able camera users who blindly copy the work of relatively successful photographers.
The conversation usually goes 'We could do that'; 'It's already been done'.
Personally, I constrict my 'portfolio' to the landscape, action & wildlife in ~ a 20-mile radius: But then, I do live in an ideal part of the country.
Conversely, I'm too old, despite lots of encouragement, to be arsed about building it into a business, so I just do me {:0)
