As a photographer who started in 1987 on the practica TL 1000 fully manual camera and learn the craft later on Minolta film cameras and had the pleasure of shooting on Kodachrome 64, Fuji chrome and Agfachrome, where you shot the 36 frames on the roll put the roll into a small paper envelope put a stamp on it and wrote your address and put that into a postbox and waited for the images to return in a small oblong plastic box and then sat and held them up to the light in your bedroom witnessing the beauty of green and blues deep black deep red and light that was made up of pure magic. I was there at rise of digital photography and smart phone photography and I completely agree with you that immediate gratification laziness and bowing to the constraint of time has turned photography from an honourable art which needs an apprenticeship knowledge and muscle memory built over time to what it has become now the press of the button conjured from the cold dispassionate bowels of Ai. I was in Lancaster earlier this year and it warmed my heart to see a street photographer with a medium format camera taking street portraits. It was an absolute pleasure to know that the craft is still there is still alive and like vinyl hi-fi systems cassette tapes there is still a yearning for simpler times.

Things our lords and masters got up to😂

They would've been hugely expensive to run and maintain. People wanted and were buying cars.

Sorry I've not been here lately, been doing so much overtime in work, I need to spend a while going through your videos. Is that squirrel woods in Formby that you're at? I'm trying to get out this weekend to do some macro, hopefully I can find some nice bugs and mushrooms

Greetings from Ireland Matt.. ive been an amateur photographer since early 1970s. Shooting 35mm film with my Canon EOS 650 - then digital arrived on the scene and I traded all my canon gear including a bunch of lenses for my first digital camera Olympus 2020Z and a the time it was £900 (Irish Pounds) a lot of dosh back then.. moved along the years with digital Canon 40d -- then when the Fuji X-Pro 1 came out I had to have it.. loved that camera until the XT-1 came out .. and then the XT2- and the XH-1 as I wanted IBIS for my old Pentax Tacumars .. but strangely I keep my XT-1 and its my go to and only Digital camera -- tempted to get back to XH-1 - but ? With regards too iPhones - I like my Mini 13 BUT that form factor smaller size has been discontinued by apple - so that phone will stay with me until its no longer usable -- thanks Apple but the 15 and 16 models just dont work for me --- apple rant over -- best of luck in your retirement and kinda regards, Paul

For street my X- pro 1 with a 23mm lens. For my all around camear my Nikon z5 with 24-70 mm lens

Good video matt.

Where is this?

What year , and who got hung ?

Nothing is wasted Matt, maybe not your favourites, but 18 minutes of shorts is work and 'we' appreciate it!

What a nice video I really enjoyed this one

Absolutely beautiful views. Something id love to do . Unfortunately my disability doesn't allow .but watching theses bring a smile to my face .👍👍

Nice job

Actual photographers who know this art have changed with the introduction of digital cameras in lieu of film which makes us real photographers scarce.

Nice to be outside should be less people about soon

Good honest video Matt, i know what you are going through. I also hav my share of medical issues and i wish you the best of health. Have a great holliday and take loads of photos.

Falmouth.

Lake district because I live here and it's the best place in England

Surprise view near Sheffield.

Seven Sisters East Sussex part of the South Downs National Park❤

Wherever the people aren't.

I like parks, nature reserves. Anywhere with trees, not too many people. I need to organise a trip to Scotland or Ireland for landscapes. Skye is brilliant if you like coloured mountains.

Sound advise sir.

Have a good time in Scotland.

Brilliant keep it up, unique and informative

I hope you can get the treatment quickly, Matt. I'm deeply touched by your courage, and the realism that underpins it. I pray for your healed condition, and for you. You're so giving and you offer so much. Though I'm one of your (paltry) supporters, I haven't taken enough time to learn more from you. But oh how I want to, in the coming months and years.

Great to see you, Matt! It's been a while. And glad to hear the developments in your health are being taken seriously. I would have made the same decision. Wise words indeed. If you find yourself just north of Glasgow in the near future then let me know... I'll get the kettle on and we can swap idiopathic stroke symptoms and 9V battery brain tingles till the cows come home. Best wishes, David.

Glad to hear you are doing OK have a good trip I agree photography helps me a lot let's me turn off all the other stuff in life for a few hours all the best

Wishing you all the best Matt, whatever you decide. Enjoy Scotland and get on top of this when you get back. Totally agree that Photography is Great for your Mental Health, been through it myself, not a Stroke but quite a few other issues, as for what your partner goes through I really have no ide how they do it, they’re all heroes in my eyes

Best wishes Matt.. good luck for the future

Glad to hear you can still get away on your trip. Enjoy, and we need to catch up soon 👍🏼

Hope they get you sorted out, my wife had the same durung the pandemic, a piece came off her blocked cartoid, hers was found to be 90 percent blocked and had to have a piece replaced, she lost her speech due to it but it has mostly returned, her sense of humour is not the same either and she has lost a bit of confidence and also has stroke anxiety, it was tough times for us with me not being able to visit her in hospital and communicating over the phone when she couldn't speak properly, She still at 72 goes out to work 3 part days a week doing care in the community because it gives her something to do, i still work at 67 on building sites 4 days a week for the same reason so she says she won't fully retire till i do, i make sure we live life to the full with holidays, weekends away and days out because of her stroke as i thought i had lost her

Bloody hell Matt, I hope all goes well.

Wishing you the best whatever the decision Matt. I'm sure there are many others out here on your side.

Stay away from non-animal based foods, vegetable oils, seed oils and ultry-processed foods human beings are ment to eat meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and anything that comes from animals and these are fat and protein rich and they have all the nutrients you need to be healthy this is the carnivore lifestyle and it has worked miracles for thousands of people with health issus the mainstream doctors and hospital give the wrong advice like have a high carbohydrate diet wich can be the biggest contribution to becoming obese and or diabetic and getting heart disease and attacks and strokes it's the carbohydrates seed and veg oil and the suger that are the biggest things causing these and many many other chronic diseases. Checkout Anthony Chaffee MD on UA-cam and Ken Berry on UA-cam and there are many other carnivore experts on UA-cam its free and very well worth checking them out what's there to loose especially when our health is our real wealth because with out health we have nothing. I wish you all the very very best and I wish you a healthier long future MAY GOD BLESS YOU 👍

I never thought about Street musicians not liking to be photographed. But it makes sense, they’re technically working.

That does sound awful Matt, the positive side is that it's been found and you know what to expect from it. It's a hit and miss situation, get the surgery and come out better (abeit with a chance of having a stroke or death whilst under) or don't have it and risk having another stroke further down the line. I really do feel for you and your wife because God knows what she must be going through too with all this. I will continue to wish and pray for your health my friend 🙏

In last 90s was a massive movement of every man & his dog was buying DSLR brand battle was Nikon & Canon. I couldn't afford then. Looked a both brands looked at Flicker and liked the Colours of most Canons. Didn't think that most of the photos on there have been colour corrected! Like the menu on Canon.

I was always with Canon, but I found that it was getting too heavy, so Sarah at Cambrian Photo suggested I try a Fujifilm XE-1 & try it on one off your walks! So now Fujifilm all the time.

Good idea

Hi Matt, I have only just come across your channel, brilliant !! It’s refreshing to watch someone who calls it as it is. I took up photography again when I retired and my leaving present was a Canon dslr. I have bought some kit from MPB and have been really pleased with it. I use an iPad Pro 12.9 and use a keyboard from ESR which is half the price of the apple product. I am looking forward to going through your videos, keep up the good work.

I changed to a wrist strap years ago and I prefer it to anything else now.
