Sometimes I make these photography videos mostly for my own benefit, as a reminder to myself as much as anyone of the things I need to do to get good photos with my camera. Today is perhaps the most obvious of those, getting out without the guarantee of success. Dragging yourself out of bed and taking your camera outdoors when the forecast isn't great is easier said than done, but it offers rewards more times than you would think!

If you've noticed a strange guy taking photos of your house in the mist, my bad...
James Popsys made me do it officer
TonyDoesTech It’s ok he only did it in a specific and limited way.
@@AnthonyJames7 LOL
Mummy who is that man? he's a Olympic sprinter Tommy. how do you know that Mummy? watch and you will see Tommy...oh my goodness Baltazar has gotten off his chain 😉 play nice Baltazar!😆😄 (Baltazar a 250 pound Irish wolf hound ) LOL

As soon as I heard that in the video I had to pause it and go to the comments. :')

British landscapes are so magical at mornings. I hope one day I will se it with my own eyes.
Look for the channel Derek Forss. That gentleman has amazing pictures of the British landscape taken at *all* times of the day.
i dont know about you professional photographers, but since i got into photography 10months ago and bought my first dslr 5months ago, i take my camera with me even if im going to supermarket hahah its like an adiction.. i take A LOT of photos, but dont post often cause a lot of the times im not happy with the result, but still i feel im progressing with composition, editing, etc. So yea, i still got the "fire" that im willing to wake up early or go any place to take photos regardless the condition, forecast, etc
I do the same!! Never actually taken a photo inside a supermarket, but I'm sure this day will come too haha :)

haha!
Watched this twice over a few days. Just love these beautiful photos of the house and church. The best narrative about getting out there and not staying inside. Getting up that day was sure worth it!
I was hoping for footage of James chasing sheep into frame...
Actually including 🐑 in the image with the church makes it a more interesting photo, in my opinion. Makes a viewer wander if it was intentional or not as it now can be read as symbolism 😉
It's 2020. It's not a question of being 'lazy', it's just your survival instincts kicking in. - Elaine J.
4:30 I've recently seen a meme with that saying and the Batman hugging pregnant Shrek, so there's that
That shot of the church and sheep in front; maybe align the church tower with the right 2/3'rds marking?
Absolutely lovely shots and nice and muted setting for the presentation. This is why i love your videos. Cozy, personal and professional.
I went out this week, forecast showing nothing good, I waited outside for 4 hours shivering and then suddenly bright northern lights appear! I got one of my favorite photos that night! (and also a sore throat..)
Thank you James for offering an insight into your way of looking at composition
Can totally relate to this one. Just started vlogging about photography around my full time job and family. Loving it, but the opportunity to shoot can be limited to weekends, and what I get is what I get, try to make the best of it, even this morning was meant to be an awesome sunrise, get out and no sun at all. Anyway thanks for being an inspiration, and always enjoy your vlogs!
Wayne Gretzky said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Sorry, I'm Canadian! Love your videos, by the way.
Beat me to it!
That's a lovely scene James
Loved the framing with the branches overhead . The seperation between the track and the hill you were on .
Those first couple of shots of the church are fantastic, nicely done!
Love the channel James! You make it very interesting and fun, and I’m ready to get up early and take some photos!!
Another cracking vlog James. Great shots, beautiful locations and nice insight into your editing techniques. Keep it up mate. Never a waste of 20 odd minutes!!
I like that portrait shot of Endensor a lot. It feels like timing-wise it is the most layered.
Great video James. I really enjoy and get loads of value out of these on location then in lightroom videos.
I recently did the "get up and get out' morning. Half hour before sunrise. I set up, took a test shot or three. Just as the light was hitting my subject, two vans with full camera crew and their three football players pulled up. They walked right into the middle of my shot... never even looked at me... like I wasn't even standing there. Luckily, they moved on after twenty minutes. It didn't really make much difference. So, all that to say, you never know what to expect. Part of the fun, I guess.
Thanks, James, another inspirational video. I need to start going out a bit more. I like those pictures very much, especially the church. I wish I knew how you're doing it, all your photos seems so sharp all the time. Well done.
Your videos really Inspire me James thank you also you are a very funny dude. Love your photography it really inspires me
Really enjoyed watching you in your “process”... felt like a really natural video and I’ve learned loads watching you from ‘start to end’.
Cheers mate :)
In the "main" photo you were editing, I would make that little tree/bush to the far left disappear, my eye keeps going to that all the time. But other than that; amazing photos and amazing scenery. I am jealous.
Fab video as usual, thanks James. Good advice too. To get out of bed whether conditions are good or not, is something I need to start doing.
Jack
That's the last thing I thought you'd say but I love it, great motivation for this weekend, I'm off to Akitio just north of Wairarapa and am planning to do two sunrises (ew 6am!). But I agree, every time I've done it, it has been so worth it! Hope Scotland was great, can't wait to see what you got up to.
i was stood right there outside Chatsworth just the other week when I went to the Haddon Hall outdoor event. lovely spot
I love waking up to a notification that James uploaded :)
(I live in the US)
Better than waking up and seeing him filming through your upstairs window
Another informative and entertaining vid James...Thanks again for the presets...they usually get me pretty close in LRC..cheers!
Thanks james
That lighting/ background at the end of the video is 🔥
Looks really good.
As always, another great video James!
I do this all the time. I get myself up and walk and shoot. I'm also getting exercise, so it's a win win.
Great shots James! I love to go wandering about looking for something to photograph! Have fun in Scotland. Don't let your kilt fly up! LOL!!!
"It looks like I made confetti out of SD cards" I'm dying 😂
I like theses videos why you show taking the shot and then editing it. Please do more :)
Boy that last image is my favorite of the bunch. And you just show it for a split second and nearly cropped all the sheep out. It does not get more british than that one. I have to get over there soon i think. Nice video and greetings from Germany!
Just amazing skill with the software to bring these beautiful shots to life! I had to laugh about getting up and getting out there. I've been planning to do and then I wash out. Just an amateur stuck in muck! Must keep trying. I see so many unusual and beaitiful shots that serious photographers capture. They're dedicated and not afraid to travel very early or very late to get what they want.
My favorite shot was at 12:40. Everything about it is so beautiful
I love your videos, while i photograph very different things than you, your philosophy resonates with me. Thanks for the awesome vid
I've only gone and done it again. I watched, and enjoyed (sort of) and forgot to comment again..... Next week definitely 👍
Such a relaxing video that's somehow also giving me energy :)
Just thought I'd mention that mist and fog is actually evaporated woolly sheep! I know this because when the fog is really thick, the sheep can never be seen, and when toe fog has gone, the sheep are there again! 🤔 Yep! 👍
Just thought I'd give myself a thumbs up for that comment.
Nice one James. Watched this last night and made a point of going out this morning, even though the forecast wasn't looking that good. But I had an epic morning with some fantastic conditions! Only downside is that I'm now very, very late for work.
On occassion I've found myself explaining this to people, that when I "go out for photos" it's not this glamorous expedition. Nor do I just pull up in my car somewhere, jump out, take a stunning image and then drive off. There is a lot of waiting around, scouting, trying different things, seeing things you think will look good yet then don't. I'd say maybe half of my images I considered my "best" involve careful planning, the other half happened when I stumbled upon something new, in a type of light I really loved.
It's important to mention the "grind" people people get down on themselves and think they are not a good photographer when they don't come back with amazing images after every outing. But unless you're doing indoor events, or something in a studio, so many things could be out of your control that it's not worth getting down on yourself for not finding an amazing shot. Sometimes it just doesn't happen, it is what it is.
Amazing landscape locations you have access to ;)
Keep the sheep, they look great in the foreground!! 😊
Such beautiful Mist!
Love the photos, James. Beautifully captured. Can’t get shots like these in Toronto. Yeah, I’ve been a bit lazy this year, too, making lots of excuses not to get up and out.
it happen , happend to me as well , but recently don't know why i started to go out as much as possible , even when i know it's gonna be hard to go home
for example yesterday i wanted to do some night time street photo in strasbourg and i knew that to go it was easy but to go home ... no car , the train i wanted to take was canceled , no one living there to make me go through the night so i had to call a friend , but in the end i'm really happy with the photos i took
my tips , take your camera with you with 1 lens as much as you can and take as many photos as you can when you go out , the fire should come back haha
Another top banana video :) I struggle big time to get out of bed - it's something I really need to work on!
Lovely shot. Wish we had houses like that here
Edensor is a great location. You were shooting the only original house in the village. The 6th Duke moved the rest of the village to its present location just across the road so he could remodel his estate without the eyesore of the village. You can't see this house from where he lived. By the way, the village is pronounced En-sor
Way too easy to fall into that habit of not going out. This year has been tough but I've been sliding into it over the past few. I'm trying to change my ways, though, and this video is very encouraging. Cheers!
That first church picture is amazing!!!!
yep, lately been lazy bout going out. It's been screamin hot here so just waiting for temps to go down. I have plans to explore an abandoned mine in the desert along with a less know ghost town here in the desert southwest of the USA. Also have plans for a trip to Arizona for big cats in the wild! Today, I am going for a ride in the mountains with no expectations, just get out! Think I'll take the film camera.
Over here in Melbourne we’re still in lockdown, which I’m fine with, but it means my camera hasn’t been out of its bag in a good while. You’ve motivated me James to dust it off and get out there as soon as I can. Lovely captures too btw!
Awesome Paul, stay well!
Lovely images!
I appreciate the most important skill is to get out and take photos even if the day looks like loser.
Love it ❤️
This video reminds me that I should get earlier out of bed and shoot more often, so thanks James Popsys Loving the shot @12:44
Nice shots and great video.
This is when you need to bring your own border collie to herd the sheep toward the house. Now THAT'S a photography skill.
great video, James!
This truly inspires me!!! And seeing the english country side, makes me unbelievably jealous hahaha
This is like Ricky Gervais does photography 😀. Enjoyable and informative. Thanks for the foreground/background tip with the branches. I'm stacking those shots in future.
Good stuff. Lol. Very creative, but a tip... when you crop the canvas turn off “delete cropped pixels” at the top, stops you losing any data of the photo when cropping so you can always go back.
I envy you the beautiful little villages and houses.
great shots!
Nice rural scene James. The only 'improvement' might have been if there were some lights on in the farmhouse - but you can't have everything.
Ive been a bit lazy as well in the last 4 months with just getting out and shooting photos. Finally got motivation last week to go shoot photos after I purchased my new car and wanted to do a photo shoot with it. Im completely happy with the end results.
Awesome! :)
All the Love for Banana-James!
Awesome video! Love the humor! I'm not really into the "branches-in-the-picture" thing. I know a lot of people like it, but to me, they are always distracting, no matter how blurred or tack sharp they may be.
Normally I try to skip the first 99 times and only go out during that 1%. Most of the times I fail 99% of that 1% !!
Still good to see you were able to move those sheep, all the way to the next village. Well done👍
As a wildlife photographer who has followed you for some years I can tell you there are many days I go out before daybreak and get nothing day after day then I get something I have not seen before that gets the adrenaline pumping. I recon I am on about 1/2%
Awesome place. About the village: i would only try to remove that info table or something below the tree, it's the only element that does not fit into 19th century (photo with(out) sheep)
You have really beautiful country side and villages, no modern buildings, no power lines, no color containers for sorted waste, no billboards or anything distracting...
Always a pleasure to watch your videos 😀
Cheers from the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴
Thank you! Hope to be back to the Faroe Islands in the future :)
James Popsys 😀 You are most welcome back again. I saw all of you’r youtube videos from your Faroes tour - they were great as usual 😀
UGGHHH Im seeing the photo and wishing you'd moved a tad to the right so that lowest branch was a leading line toward the house 0.0
My current job means that I am all day, driving around some of the most beautiful areas of the UK: The Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, Trough of Bowland... you get the idea. However, I'm working and can't spend a couple of hours to stop and wait for a good shot. But whilst typing this I realise that I've given myself the answer in that I should make notes of locations and then go back in my own time. Bit of a redundant post... Ignore all of the above.
"80% of success is showing up" etc. I prefer the advice that "luck" is something you cultivate by meeting people and being around when things happen.
In the Southern portion of these United States...you would have had at least 2 rounds whizzing over your head...just to watch you run...lol. Helpful having 6 stops of IBIS while running! :) Enjoyed your video and the lessons/suggestions learned!
I'm looking at the photos and thinking, "What a beautiful place! I wish I could shoot there." But, at the same time, I live just outside of Charleston, South Carolina and it's wonderfully photogenic. It's funny how 'someplace else' tends to be more appealing. I often think about people in small towns who would like nothing more than to shoot a city. I would love to shoot a small town.
Side note.. the picture of the church?.. definitely portrait. ;-)
Thanks for another great video.
I tell everybody I prefer evening light to morning light but the truth is I just hate mornings. Had to get that off my chest. Carry on.
haha, you're not the only one - it's a real slog sometimes!
Somebody with the initials JP did a video 4 months ago titled 'Why I NVER Focus Stack my Photos'
Oh man, early mornings are not my thing, but what do you not do for art. At 4.30 am on Sunday I fell out of bed because the forecast said it will be some juicy fog and then become sun later on and what did it became of that? Nothing. Absolute nothing. Here you sacrifice one of your two free days because the weather service had promised great photographic weather. Well up in the sadle next weekend again. :-)
I havent been able to leave my house since March, next time recreational activities outside of exercise might be legal.
I really liked that first church shot. Nice work.
I enjoy watching your videos I am new to landscape photography like that you are not so serious like others are on CZcams.
I noticed that you use light room classic rather than light room is There a big difference in the two. Regards Mike
Thanks James, loved the shot with the sheep uncropped btw. did you not fancy a mist shot of Chatsworth? Looking forward to your Scotland Videos / photos with the S5, be interesting to see you you go back to FF full time...
computer on the go slow is an understatement ...even my 2015 laptop isnt that choppy in lightroom ...to be fair i dont record on it in 4k at the same time
Communication skills are important for photographers if you want to make photography as a career and making business out of it!
Please do more such editing videos :)
The original scene look much better as you begun to explain.
I can relate to the laziness. I should go photographing in the early morning again, it can give stunning shots.
**sets alarm at 6.00**
Oh, and keep the sheep!
Great video James very imformative.... by the way locals pronounce it Enza 😀
PLEASE more POV photography videos!
