Henry, never apologise for showing your authentic self. I for one don’t see staged, I see a man who has found his true passion and wants to share that passion - for photography, for the beauty of the outdoors and of the natural world. That passion shines through every video. Keep doing what you so obviously love doing and we’ll keep watching.
Really appreciate that Steven thanks mate :)
I agree 😊
Totally agree! I’m sorry for peoples losses, but your memorial takes away from the natural beauty of a place. We all have losses.
Maybe when you loose someone you’ll have a different opinion.
A few memorial’s here and there is nothing compared to the erosion and litter left me many.
Do you know what keeps me coming back to watch your channel week after week ? I could say it's the lovely scenery , I could say it's the photography tips , I could say it's the shared experience of feeling like I'm on the trip with you , and all of those are true , but the stand out thing for me is your honesty , integrity , passion , all rolled into one .... no pretentious bull , no prima Donna look at me I'm the best , just raw enthusiasm and honesty , hi , I'm Henry Turner i love hiking and taking beautiful photos , come with me .... I love that , your passion is very evident , showing your emotion instead of hiding it , whether you're feeling great or feeling jaded , it brings a reality that others lack .
We all know from our own experience that sometimes it's not the perfect photoshoot , the weather , the light , the journey, fatigue , etc all conspire against us , content creators that only show the cherry on top and not the whole cake with the slight burnt base , they're lacking a bit in integrity in my opinion , or maybe integrity is not the right word , maybe authenticity ?
I like the way you tell it how it is ! Keep being you . 👍
This says it all . Only thing to add is that I agree . Memorials belong in a grave yard . Not in the wilds . Or at sides of roads . Glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this .
When you’re no longer affected by such beauty, Henry, then you’ve lost what it means to be human. Every I time I go out with the camera I’m blown away by the beauty around me; I’m 62. 😊
Agreed!!
Good for you, sir. Cheers.
We know you well enough to know that’s not staged…just a tangible passion for the natural world. We’re also not fans of memorials…everyone was loved and admired by someone!
I totally agree with you regarding the plaques. I don’t mind seeing one which records a tragic incident such as a plane crash etc. However I cannot walk along the seafront where I live without more and more benches appearing with plaques on them. In my local park there are remembrance benches throughout. Two of them are always covered in bunches of flowers, nobody can or would sit on them. I go out into the countryside, park or seafront for my own mental health not to constantly be reminded of death. We all have our own tragedies to deal with without seeing others every few steps. I can visit a graveyard for that if I’m so inclined.
Your'e doing a geat job for us Old Fellas by taking us to places our bodies wont let us go to anymore. You're a great bloke thank you.
Yeah my position too. Still take photos, but no mountains or fells. Even if we had any here in western Australia.
Henry totally agree about the plaques. I too live in a beautiful area of the UK and constantly see memorials being put up in woodland and attached to trees which infuriates me. My father recently died and loved these areas. As a tribute to him we scattered his ashes in his favourite place surely a much better way remember our loved ones
I’m not a fan of memorial plaques either, although they are the least problematic when it comes to stuff like that, much worse are flowers left in plastic bags, the flowers eventually die but never get removed, I’ve also come across people leaving cards, soft toys, mugs and the other day I came across an a4 laminated Christmas message to someone’s dead parents stapled to a tree in the Peak District.
I often go out with camera and never take it out of bag, it used to annoy me but it doesn’t bother me now, enjoying the walk is all that matters.
100% agree with you on the plaque issue. It’s becoming an ever increasing issue and not just in areas of wilderness. It is entirely selfish on the part of those that place them. A view or beauty spot may well have had a meaning to those commemorated but it could also be special to hundreds of others for a variety of reasons. Placing a plaque effectively stamps ownership of feelings for the area.
What we leave behind is not engraved in stone but woven into the hearts of others.
Anyone who watches you regularly will know how passionate you are, and the emotions you show are real and never staged. They are also very infectious, and you have certainly inspired me in my short time in landscape photography. My special place is Norfolk, it's beauty often makes me stop and I get a lump in the throat, especially when it's time to go home. As for memorials, there's a place for them, but far too often they are of the kind that just leaves a mess after. Plaques are ok, to a point, a park bench or the like, but not out in the wilds.
Totally agree regarding the memorial plaques.
Human beings make a big enough mark on this planet already.
I'm very conscious when I'm out in the wild to leave no trace.
Why would I want to leave one when I'm dead and gone.
I can understand family and friends may wish to remember and mark a place they know was special to you in life but there really is no need.
Like you said, you will never know as you'll not be here to know it see it.
Bit morbid maybe but I see death as part of life.
It comes to us all. We really need to make the most of the time we have and do the things we love while we can 💯❤️
Another great one Henry. I agree that memorials are not ideal in places like this. Who exactly are they for? The person being remembered, or the person doing the remembering? Why do they need this here in order to remember them? Can't they remember them without it? It's certainly not so the rest of us can remember them, because despite having their name, perhaps age, whether they liked it here or not (etc), we didn't know them, will never know them, so any memory of them is void. I'm not trying to be mean or cause offence in any way shape or form, but in reality, all it does is spoil the unspoiled for their own (selfish?) reasons without caring anything about those who follow. Please people, stop doing it!
The best memorial is to leave it as you find it, thanks for an excellent video.
Couldn't agree more!
Videos like this one are why I continue to follow you, Henry. Your emotional investment and love for what you do drives you. Thanks again for the inspiration. I'm grateful for you and your channel. 🙏
Thanks a lot Tim that means a lot, I appreciate the support you have given me over the years - it does not go unnoticed 🙏🏼
Me too
Fabulous. Never hide your emotions.
In addition to loving your beautiful photography, I love that you are not afraid of showing your passion and honest emotions. There is something so stirring about nature and I can totally identify with your emotional reaction because I often feel overwhelmed by the stunning scenery and conditions all around me. That’s why nature and landscape photography is my favourite genre. I totally agree about the plaques, etc. One of the first “rules” I learned when I started hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains close to home in Alberta, was “leave no trace”. I would be mortified if someone left a plaque commemorating me in nature - I would comeback to haunt them!
I've stayed in that bothy a couple of times but they've tarted it up inside from the last time I was there! A great area to hike and some fabulous hills that get overlooked because the giants of Torridon are so close by. Enjoyed the hike and the photos. I'm ambivalent about memorial plaques. Those two were small and unobtrusive but you are correct; if every hiker/climber had one they'd be everywhere! Personally I think the bothy might have been a better location for a memorial - epecially if they'd put it on a donated seat!
Photography is emotion, Henry, simple as that. ❤
Henry, Amazing as always. Your emotions are who you are, never apologize for that! That is what we all love about you. How could you not be chocked up at the magical beauty of pretty much anywhere in the UK. You are blessed to do what you do in such a spectacularly diverse landscape. Keep it up.
I think it’s beautiful that you get so emotional looking out on this wonderful planet. I’m also happy that you got wonderful conditions and had time to not only enjoy the hike but also time to sit down and take it in. Today was the first time I took my camera out. Lately I’ve been feeling quite down, but the weather was beautiful, so I did a small hike and enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you for this video, it’s very inspiring!
on the point about memorials I think unless its to note something that happened in that place like a battle or historic event, I think we don't need them in wild. For memorials to people i find it better when they put the plaque in say a visitor's centre or rangers stations etc where there is already man-made structures to fix them too.
Ahhhh, loved this video mate! Thanks for taking us on the hike. And damn, I know this feeling when you just get overwhelmed by being in the moment in breathtaking surroundings. This is exactly why I'm drawn to countries like this... I actually moved to Norway for this very reason. Thank you once again, and agree on the plaques, too.
Ahh nice man, yes Norway is fantastic, I need to get back there and explore more!! Thanks again mate
As an eighty year old I just love getting out as time & opportunities are not in abundance.... value your time & enjoy whatever moments you can get.. thanks for sharing you adventure Henry.. cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😀
Quality yet again Henry, great images and a lovely video. Never apologise for showing true passion, those that follow you know you wear your heart on your sleeve 👍🏻
Thanks for being so REAL. Your emotions are raw, true and honest and they are what make you such a phenomenal photographer ❤
Thank you so much!!
I probably would have let you walk on without me. I’d be happy pottering around by the river finding all sorts of things to photograph. Still, when there’s beauty all around you I’d possibly join you in taking in some of that scenery and I’m in my 70s! That beauty is what gives you the absolute emotional experience. It shows in your superb images how much you enjoyed this walk. Doubt if I would have made it over those rocks! Wonderful natural video, Henry! Keep them coming, it’s getting colder here in Oz.🇦🇺
God bless you, Henry. You are a wonderful human being and a very talented photographer. Thanks for sharing another of your adventures with us.
I get the emotion having cycled through Scotland doing Lands End to John O'Groats.
Every hill we crested on the way through was breathtaking.
Such a beautiful country ❤️
All I would want is for someone to hike up to a special place and enjoy the view while remembering me. Perhaps add a little stone to a cairn. I'm not in favour of plaques in wild places. It would be like everyone picking the flowers in a city park; there would be none left!
Good to see some-one getting into the mountains and seeing the reason why they are so very special. No need to apologise for tears of joy and happiness at seeing these landscapes. If you can inspire someone else to appreciate what we have here, then that is good.
Great video of a great walk to a great summit.
I'd send you a personal message asking for details of how to book the cottage, but it's sure to be booked up years ahead now that the world knows that it's in such a stunning location with such excellent weather...
Wow, Scotland just keeps on giving. This is just *achingly* beautiful. All the shots you took, I'd have to unlike and then like the video again and again. Can't wait for your book!
Thanks again for another inspiring video H👍🏻. I totally agree with a couple of points you made. Walking somewhere for the walk or walking somewhere to take photos. I think of as them as taking your camera for a walk(photography) or walking with your camera(walking). Secondly is having an emotional attachment for the superb, glorious locations you find yourself in. I've not walked in Scotland but plenty in the Lakes. Some days the views have stopped me in my tracks and I could have kissed the ground I was standing on! Keep up the great work and making Thursdays special 🙂
One of your best videos, as a Scotsman living in North Essex I do miss the mountains, I going make you a honorary Scotsman for your passion for a beautiful country and pronounce loch correctly.
Your passion is infectious dont change
. .Henry your passion and emotional connection to the mountains is as it should be. As someone who hikes a lot and also tries to do photography i love the outdoors. keep doing what you are doing. Another great video. Danny
Bang on, visit these places and leave no trace!
As you say, where does it end ?
Henry thanks for showing that your just a normal person who has a passion for what nature has created and loves to capture it not only in image form but in his heart aswell 👌👍
I appreciate that!
I absolutely love your passion Henry; never lose it. Thanks for such a great video.
I appreciate that!
We have Churches and cemeteries for memorials of our dead loved ones. Another thing leaving flowers at certain places still wrapped in the cellophane which does not rot away. Rippons made of manmade plastic tied on trees, use cotton if you must!
You know it when a place speaks to you, very special.
Henry, you're one of kind... Love your passion and I get when you experience beautiful places that it takes over your emotions. Also, when your love is also your job it will definitely give you mixed emotions. It's ok to feel like that, your human... I get uninspired and then... I watch one of your videos and its back again... Thanks for that...
What a view from the top! The land of my ancestors, too, and I can feel it all the way here in Tennessee, USA. ❤
Henry, I love your passion and raw emotions. I’m heading to Scotland in Sept from Western Australia and your Scotland videos have me so excited. I can’t wait to photograph the beauty that is Scotland ❤
I live my photography through you. I am no were near fit enough to attempt the smallest of hike due to illness. 3 friends took me a few years back and they took my small bag and pulled me up the hills and one Mountain in the Mornes. I was broken for days after BUT I will never forget that day spent with friends with wonderful views.
Never say sorry for being you.
Had to make a comment on this video post. I now live in Australia and can't get to the places you take us to. Even if I could, I wouldn't be climbing mountains anyway- too old. I really like your photography and tips - but that is only part of the story. It's your enthusiasm that is so life- enhancing and I'm probably not the only person living vicariously thru your adventures. This was a brilliant upload, so thank you Henry. Agreed re the memorials too.
Thank you for letting us join you on this beautiful hike and truthful thoughts and feelings. Very recognizable on many levels, about embracing the moment and nature, being open for the unexpected and and the sheer beauty of the Scottish Highlands (I've been in the same region last year and can't wait to return to it, with or without the camera).
I completely understand the feeling you had. I've experienced these same emotions every time we visit Scotland. When people ask me what it is that makes use going back, I just can't put it into words to do it justice. Scotland is a feeling. It's like coming home. I like your travel camera. I have the same with the 12-45 F4 lens. Ready for another Scotland adventure in 3 weeks. Thanks for sharing this with us. All the best, Laurens
What an amazing hike and some truly stunning scenery! I can completely understand why Scotland means so much to you - the landscapes are breathtaking. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your passion for photography. It was interesting to hear your thoughts along the way.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beauty has a feeling; Henry knows that feeling. Great views and great photos.
Thanks 👍
Great video Henry.
The landscape was amazing.
Great photos too.
You would probably find some Highlander ancestors in your Family tree😅. Just by watching I can very well understand your emotional reaction. It's such an archaic beautiful landscape.
No staging. Beautiful footage and images of a lovely place! Would love to visit one day. Thank you Henry for taking us alongside with you! I enjoy your channel and enthusiasm. God bless you.
Many thanks!
You don't have to apologise to us, because we have been watching your video's for a long time and see the passion that you have.
You deserve to be successful with the amount of hard work you put in to make your video's.
I enjoyed the video as usual.
I know you love Scotland, but what's not to like.
Great image's as usual mate.
Wishing you all the success in the future.
Personally don’t mind tributes of love in a natural space, makes it interesting. Like it or not man leaves his mark everywhere, just like the bothy you went to. On Dartmoor there are a couple huge slabs with passages from the bible inscribed in them. Also there is a tribute to one Nigel Duncan Ratcliffe a war hero at lydford (I did a video on it) and it’s beautifully poignant.
Great following your journey Henry, I’m a big fan of your photography
Thanks for sharing another wonderfully genuine vlog Henry. I certainly relate to your feelings regarding Scotland, it certainly is a special place. Regarding the link between the pressure to get good images versus the level of enjoyment you can experience on a hike, I guess it's all about what your goal is when you step out the door. I consciously try to focus on enjoyment of the outdoors first, because if you just focus on the mission of getting a photo you miss the real benefits of the experience that being out in nature provides.
Thank you Henry. I sincerely mean that.
I'm a bit late to this video but can relate so strongly to your emotions. I live in Yorkshire but get up to the Highlands and islands as often as I can. I was on a mountain late last summer on my own. Everyone else had gone and I stood there with tears in my eyes, just taking in the beauty of my surroundings, exactly as you did. I love Scotland so much and it's as though there is something spiritual there for me. I'm in my 60's and as soon as I enter the Highlands I feel as though I've come home. Maybe because my late gran was from Scotland, I don't know. There is a wonderful song by Scottish band Runrig called "Going Home". You can easily find it on CZcams. It evokes those very emotions in me too. Scotland is a truly wonderful country and we are so lucky to have it virtually on our doorstep. All the best for the future.
Thank you Henry for being a living inspiration for us. It's always a pleasure to hear your story and watch your adventures.
Thanks so much for the support, really glad you enjoy my adventures!
I watched your video earlier today SoCal PSD morning… I felt everything you said about how you feel about your experience and sharing it with your followers, it was honest and heart felt, and Henry never be ashamed to share this with your viewers. You inspire me to get off my ass and plan to go out there when I am physically able to… (second full knee replacement) I really want to come back the Lake District, because I feel I did not get the right amount of time to explore the first time I was there in 2018.When I saw it. I felt the same as you when I saw the The Lake District and Edinburgh for the first time in person!!! Cheers Henry 🍺🍺
You're such a genuine guy, a real pleasure to watch, I really enjoy your channel because of your honesty and authenticity.
I think the thing with the memorial plaques, it's probably done by the families of those they have lost, and they draw comfort in the fact the memorial is in the place their loved one was most at home. If you go to places where people have died on a mountain, there's usually certain memorial spots, with crosses up and various memorials tied to the crosses. It's just one of those things, death is hard for families, they don't usually think, oh, this is going to litter a beauty spot, they would think, my loved one loved this spot, I want all the world to see the significance of said person memorialised in a beauty spot. Just a different perspective to chew over 😉. Thank you for your hard work in producing these videos, so we can come on your adventures with you
I love the view of the Bein Alligin behind you at 17:36 as I have been up there years ago. Loch Torridon is such a beautful area. Enjoy.
Its a privilege for us to see such a passionate video Henry. Hats off to you for sharing your emotions and showing this.
Simply stunning scenery.
The bothy reminded me of a shot you once took from insde that featured on the cover of one of your calendars if i am correct.
Henry - your passion is intoxicating! Never apologize for what you bring to us all. It's from the heart and truely inspiring. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work. Cheers mate!
I appreciate that!
I'm a 64th swiss guy andAt the age of 17 I traveled 3 weeks to Scotland. Since then I have made other trips like New Zealand but I still have in me the emotion I felt when I discovered these Scottish spaces. I keep my fingers crossed to be able to return to this country one day. I understand the emotions you feel. 2 days ago I was at the "col du feu" certainly the place is less wild near Geneva but the view of the mountains with a constantly changing light made me whirve. I could have spent hours looking at this landscape and finding subjects but I was not equipped enough for the cold and snow. This video reminds me of this day, it's another story. I don't know if you will read me to the end but thank you for these emotions. See you soon Henri.
Dare I say but this is defo one of your best videos yet Henry. The emotion, and just you being you is such an inspiration to anyone who ever picks up a camera and decides to share what they find….I personally would love to be in your shoes and bring such joy to all your followers. Forever great full to everything you post on here, keep them coming💪🏼👍🏼
Excellent video Henry ..you tell it as it is, no faff...stunning location, really enjoying your Scottish trip. Best wishes and many thanks.
I love being in the mountains, too. Scotland is amazing. I might share some of my pics from over the years.
Sat here sobbing watching this ❤ I got goosebumps seeing those views, and I can completely relate... That feeling of connection to a place, so hard to describe but so profound. It was awesome seeing you have such an amazing experience there, and especially after you were so "meh" at the start of the vid... Thank you so much for sharing, and for showing us such an amazing location ❤
Great set of photographs Henry. A great location I recognised the Croft you was staying in as I have stayed there many years ago.
This was great to see your passion for the outdoors. Over the years I've had similar emotions from time to time. I pray you never grow weary of what drives you.
As my father used to say "Take me as you find me" you show who you are, and what matters to you. I am with you on the memorials, keep the place special for all who have still yet to pass, and for those that have. As you said where would it end.
Wow, that image at 16:22 is amazing! On the topic of the memorials: what I could maybe understand, is if the people where the memorials are for maybe had an accident on that spot and passed away there. This is what we see on the side of the road as well sometimes. But I do understand your point of view as well, if everyone would do it, there would be no nature to enjoy anymore. Personally, if something were to happen to me, I would not want a memorial that ruins a piece of nature. And Henry, your videos mean so much to me as well! So thank you so much as well!
I agree with you about the plaques. If anyone were ever to commemorate me, I would want them to make a donation to the upkeep of a beautiful trail or spot, or an organization which takes children or the handicapped out to the spot.
100% mate just had a 4 week break from photography and now enjoying it more and getting some great images
Epic video Henry photos were amazing with the landscape, it’s good to show your emotions as it makes us connected to our surroundings and nature which is an awesome feeling 😍
Henry, thank you thank you thank you for being so authentic and sharing your experiences so honestly. This is why you are so admired and loved by so many people. You really are my inspiration for continuing my photography journey, even during the periods when my mojo has gone to sleep. Keep going my friend…you are one of the best adverts for Scotland and the Lakes…you should get commissions!!
I appreciate that!
Hi Henry. I to have been known to show my emotions in places of such beauty, so I know that you do not stage them in any such situation. If I was in the same place I would have probably cried my eyes out, and I agree, Scotland is a special country when it comes to raw beauty.👌🙂
The best thing about landscape photography, is being in the landscape.
Different for yourself of course, but my camera gear sits in its bag for weeks between outdoor adventures. So, while I enjoy photography, it's what I am photographing that really matters.
Mojo back 👍This means so much to you. Your emotions say it all. Proud of you and what you do. BTW what flavour Monster Munch ?
Thank you for the videos you make! It makes me want to visit Scotland and visit some of the places you’ve been to.
I agree with you regarding memorials. I do like them for the added historical info about a place I visit, but there’s a way to present them or a place to put them that is not distracting from the beauty of the area. History is an interest of mine.
Love your passion! ❤
You are so emotional, love that, Greetings from Sweden
I know your emotions well, I had that feeling when I first saw the Taj Mahal in fact my wife did as well, I have been to the Taj three times and my emotions were just the same, photography was put on the back burner for a while just so I could take everything in! Those in memory plaques are there for a purpose and would not worry me at all! The views you had up there were fantastic and that little cabin I want to stay there! but that's got no chance! thank your sharing your time with us and it was great being up there with you....
Thanks for the comment!
The ultimate fanny pack 😋
Thanks for the video, you really helped through Covid lockdown and i enjoy your adventures outdoors. It inspires me to do more adventuring myself.
Wow, Henry, I'm not surprised there is nothing wrong in showing your emotions I wish more men would do what you have including me we men tend to hide our feelings. Well done.
It's a precious land Henry
A landscape must be really special and beautiful if it will make you cry.
Man!!! I can't wait to get there this summer. After it's been so long on my bucketlist. Already planned a couple of locations from your eBook.
5:50 Your talking about this beautiful cottage, and even pointing at it! and all the while it's out of focus. Couldn't get the depth of field? Totally agree about the plaques BTW.
Henry, mate. Just want to thank you for showing emotion, passion and all that hiking and photography means to you. Cheers from the Pyrenees and if you get here, It just be an honour to hike together and meet you. You are real, so keep going on. Cheers!
Ah, well done Henry, I get it man, sometimes I feel the same emotions in my country, Wales. Good on you man.😊
Tremendous Hike and post Henry, loved the Bothy Think I would move in if I was a tad closer. Lets hope everyone looks after it and leaves it in good order whenever it is used. Great Video's from you and Ian, a Good outing by the looks of the clips.
There is truly something special about Scotland, I cried the last time I left, it’s pure emotion. And nothing wrong with showing emotions.
4:50. Agreed, regarding these memorial plaque things. If they're commemorating someone who'd lost their lives in the area, fair enough, but many of them have no real relation to the location.
Did I hear that right? A physical book? Hellll yeahhh!
And Henry, please don't apologize for being genuine. Always looking forward to your videos, for your photography but also for your authentic self! You're an inspiration to many of us.
Hi Henry ... another great video. Always enjoy your videos. You take great photos which I think are fantastic but it's always been as much about the places you go and the banter on your walks that I enjoy as well as the photos. I remember when I started watching your channel that I commented that I never go out to take photos, I just go for walks and cycles and always take my camera with me and always take lots of photos. I know it's a bit different for you because it's your job too, but I have seen a gradual shift in emphasis towards enjoying the day more as opposed to the pressure of capturing an image. (And your photography hasn't suffered as a result). The addition of MFT to your quiver and less faffing about with tripods has also helped. 😉
Keep up the good work. 😊
I think there's a time and place for plaques. In a manicured park, installing an extra bench as a tribute to someone who volunteered at the park is a win for everyone. The deceased gets recognition and public gain facilities. I've also seen some mounted on precarious cliffs where hikers were lost which seems appropriate. A little history, some recognition, and a warning to others to watch their footing.
Absolutely agree with what you say.
Magnificent images Henry! Your emotions are beautiful you are so connected to this land! ❤️✨❤️🏴
Thanks very much!!
