The 'P' in Photography is for Persistence

  • In this video, I practise the art of persistence in an attempt to capture the perfect sunrise image of Downham Hill. Photography isn't always easy and sometimes the weather doesn't play along with the visions you have in mind. Join me on a misty Winter's morning upon Cam Long Down, with a Nikon D750 and a red coat that could probably be seen from miles away.
    Thank you for watching this video. As this is my first video of 2022, I hope you all had a wonderful New Year!

    Yep perseverance and patience the latter is not my strongpoint. Ha never mind lovely shots our weather in Edinburgh has been grey and flat no light so hoping for something better soon. Your shots of the fog and the trees were great lovely atmosphere and depth to them

      I think my patience has improved quite a bit compared to a couple of years ago ha. This was the first day we had weather that wasn't grey and flat so I feel you there. Hope you get some good conditions soon! Thanks for watching!

    Fantastic video Courtney! It was so calming to watch and your photos were beautiful! Just made me feel very at peace! Are winter in North Carolina started off fairly warm and mild, but this past week it has actually felt like winter. Today, it is very cold (feels like -14° Celsius), very windy, and snowing! I have tomorrow off, so I am hoping I will be able to get outside for some photos. 🤞

      @CourtneyVictoria  2 роки тому +1

      Haha I definitely did check it out first! It could have made for an amusing (but painful) moment otherwise. It was actually filled with water inside so it didn't swing much, but now that I think about it I could have just tipped it out lol. Thanks for watching and take care!

    You are so right. Persistence is the key. But for me the unpredictable part of landscape photography is the fun part. I love it, when not everything can be planned. One of my best images took 6 years of multiple attempts but finally I got it ;-)
    I like your videos. For me they are the right mix calmness, humour and knowledge. Thanks a lot!

    Of all the photography vids & vlogs I have watched on UA-cam your's has to be at the top of the list. After only coming across your channel just a couple of days ago, I can honestly say that of all the one's I have watched ( about 1/2 a doz ) this has to be by far the best yet. The absolute beauty of all the shots in this one is just simply stunning, who needs to go abroad when all of this is on our doorstep. Whoever wrote " This green and pleasant land " must of been looking around the corner and seeing you coming with your tripod and 750 so that we all could see your absolute talent before our very own eyes. That slightly mad comic attitude is just the cherry on top and so delicious and funny. Brilliant Courtney, just brilliant.👍

    Thank you for sharing this video Courtney. It is good to hear your opinion and your philosophy. I like seeing the village below with it 75% of the village covered in fog. I see that you took some shots with the 105 mm lens. Would like to know your opinion of that lens for landscaping photography.

I need that 😂 Lovely images, so many to chose from, love the colours in Pano, good things come in trees is a wonderful shot! Strange that this winter hasn’t been that cold and snowy there, here in QLD I feel it hasn’t been as hot a summer as normal. Hope you’re well, take care!

      A magician never reveals their secrets ha! It might not have looked as though I was very high up but those hills were very steep! A killer on the legs. Just after I filmed this video the temperature finally dropped here and it now feels like Winter. Seems as though the weather is doing its own thing across the globe! Thanks for watching Rauri, take care!

    besides, i like your style, i admire your story-like videos and of course your photography. you're such an inspiration ❤️
