Did I just hear Mr Gough say 'Get out of bed, don't be lazy', 'get there earlier'? My God, you've changed (those that know, know). Brilliant location, brilliant advice. Just read an excellent article about the benefits of photography in mental wellness - think this video just put those words into stunning pictures. Love it!
I have to say that was a really informative and brilliantly presented video. Very informative. I love your friendly way of presenting, reminds me of a favourite school teacher. Thank you.
A brilliant video and some great shots - as well as superb video footage. I love derelict buildings and loved your treatment and especially the B&W you sneaked in at the end! That was a real photographers dream day, wasn't it!
Gary my name is Gary to I don’t know what to say but I was watching your videos and I’m so impressed very hard to compare either do you like a teacher and I’m telling you I learn a lot and I’m gonna keep watching your videos thank you so much for allowing to get more experience we are watching your video
Great video, Mr G. Made me smile. How the other half live, eh? A 200 mile round trip to buy some fish and chips. I think twice about walking a quarter of a mile! And it's amazing that you can get such good shots of what is literally a sh** hole - a sewage outfall pipe I should think!
Great tips and a great video, and I loved your selection of favourites at the end. My one additional three-worded advice: Wear comfortable shoes! Whether it's a landscape shoot, a wedding shoot, being a news photographer, a fashion shoot, you might be on your feet all day, so do your feet a favour by wearing comfortable shoes that are appropriate for the conditions.
My new tip: check your settings. Just the other day I was shooting landscapes at one location, with aperture locked at F/11. Then I went to another spot to shoot birds. I changed lenses, shutter speed, and ISO to auto. But I forgot to open the aperture. I only realized midway through the shoot that my ISO was way too high because of the small aperture and fast shutter speed. Some really grainy shots resulted; very disappointing, but a lesson re-learned. Great video and a nice set of seascapes!
"Shoot for you" That's the very thing i did when i moved away from motorsports photography. I did it for everyone else, motorsport teams, riders, riders friends and family, sponsors, spectators, you name it. I rarely did it for myself. Then i just packed in, went cold turkey. I started actually learning other areas of photography and the only person i was trying to impress was ME. Funny that the last one would be Practice. I tell my daughter that one all the time for her artwork. When she looks at my drawings or paintings and says "I will never ba able to do that" I tell her that she can, she just needs to practice, practice, practice. Excellent video, Gary. Some great tips there.
Images and music at 16.36mins. Spine tingling! You just imagine the peoples lives that lived there. Photography breathing new life in the old. Thank you.
What a great video, Good tips that make perfect sense and cost you nothing. Patience is my weakness and to be honest I'm probably guilty of a few others, but what a good reminder, like it !!
Marvellous video again All those tips are a mantra for business detective work which is part of business Attention to detail is a big part of business and photography Tramping here in the land of the long white cloud one camera one lens. Size and weight does matter, I’ve only ever documented the trips we’ve done. Must try and change that Thanks again
I know you encourage people to dislike your images but I simply can't!! Can take or leave the one of the geese maybe but as for the rest of them....just stunning. One tip I would add (which you seem to achieve anyway) is to "make it an adventure".
Great video and what a great community we belong to to produce such straight forward simple tips. My three word tips are : #1 Look behind you --- #2 Keep Camera out-----#3 Take a Break. #1 Many times have I gone to a specific place to get a shot and was too focused on the intended shot to really look around and see what was literally behind me. #2 Once I have my shot I pack up my gear and head back only to find a shot on the trail back but was to lazy to pull out all the gear again... Keep it out! #3 After getting your shot, take a moment to sit and enjoy the reason you are there in the first place. You will remember the experience long after the image has faded. Thanks again Gary for another excellent video.
Well I can but say THANK YOU Gary,, watching these "volgs" have been like a breath of fresh air to this old feller. Always thought of myself as just a "snapper" and have owned and used compact cameras for the last few years. Current fav is my Pan LX7. To find someone like yourself who is so down to earth, tells it like it is, and puts a smile on my face, well you'r, as we used to say, a real diamond gezzer,,,, continue doing what you'r doing, cos I'm having shed loads of fun watching you do it,,,,,,,,,,
Having read most of the tips on your facebook page they come across so much better when you explain them in your own way. Love the little doggie looking out to sea.
Totally agree with "Shoot for you" One reason I haven't joined the local camera club. I don't want to "criticise" other people's work. My images are mine, they are for me.
'Make the effort'. And that's my problem. Finding time. Work 6 days a week, paperwork for half a day. Skipping holidays as im self employed and needing to keep people happy. Time. Really need to get on top. As always, thanks Gary.
My three word tip ... is Learn from Others .... longer version is learn from others by watching their videos and subscribing in order that those others can come tongue to share their knowledge .... cheesy , but true .... knowing just how much effort goes into producing a single video
Hi, Gary! Thanks for another interesting, informative, and fun vlog! My wife and I both like your upbeat attitude and watching the joy you get from your photography! It's contagious! I'd like to offer another 3-word tip. I like images shot from odd angles, especially low angles, so my tip is: Get Down Low.
My new favourite vlogger! Just discovered your channel and my photography juices have been invigorated by your enthusiasm and (dare I say it) wisdom. Those seascape shots are the best I've ever seen. Thank you and cheers from DownUnder.
I love your work Gary. I think your artistry shines through every photo and video you put out. And I say this even if long exposures are not my cup of tea! 😁 Keep up the good work. 👍
Gary, This was right up my street, A really great blog and I think one of your best, some just amazing photography and you must be delighted with your work.Put across for all photographers simple and straight to the point, I love the way you take photos that are for you and the way you like. Brilliant and thank you. Hopefully might bump into you sometime in Cumbria.keep safe and well, John.
Thank you - very good useful these tips and your shoots are so great. I sit here nearly the whole day with the flu and watching your videos. I have to say they are the best medicine better than any pill for me. I feel better and better!! Greetings Nikos (Germany)
very usefu, Garyl!! My humbel, modest tip is don´t be shy to imitate your photographers idols (you have to start somewhere and that is a good starting point)
So true Gary, I always have huge expectations but there are so many elements that make the image and just like a great meal needs all the ingredients. I recently went to Iceland and did so much research (almost to exactly where I should stand) but the weather was against me so I came away disheartened. I have since been more realistic about my expectations and I enjoy my photography much more with a relaxed approach and make it a bit more fun. I don't do it for a living so its not the end of the world if it doesn't work. Thanks for all these great tips.
Gary, I think the most honest critiques I ever received were from clients when I shot commercially. If they liked the work, they paid my fee and expenses! It does us no good when, after looking at our work, the viewer is more prone to the polite than the honest. The tips you offer today are pearls and gold! As common sense, they are, sometimes, not so common. The teacher part of your persona benefits the rest of us mightily. Your accompanying imagery today kicks ass, Sir! (and love the light jazz audio). Thank-You, Mike P.S. -- Apropos of nothin' the tips I remember from earlier in my life both pertain to a state of being nekkid(!). When nekkid, never squat with your spurs on, and never, never, never fry bacon...
Hi Gary, I follow you from one month now and I learned so many things with your blog. I like your style it's perhaps because I like painting too. Recently, I bought a NISI V6 filter system and I wait now the ND 10 Stop filter and others by Zomei (cheaper than Lee Filter) who I ordering last week. I'm very impatient to practice my passion with this new filters system and I hope that I will be I good student loll. It's every time a great pleasure for discovering your work and learning more and more. Thanks, Gary to share your experience and professional view of this art who it is the photography.
Gary Gough your welcome Gary, I’m sure it takes a lot of time and work to produce such good vlogs, I just wanted to let you know how much it is appreciated!
This has to be my favorite video of yours so far. Love the tips, love to see you having fun delivering the message, and your shots were great. That looked to be a really cool place to spend some time.
Did I just hear Mr Gough say 'Get out of bed, don't be lazy', 'get there earlier'? My God, you've changed (those that know, know). Brilliant location, brilliant advice. Just read an excellent article about the benefits of photography in mental wellness - think this video just put those words into stunning pictures. Love it!

Don't think I've watched a vlog with so many beautiful images. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Cheers
Very kind, thank you

I know you encourage people to dislike your images but I simply can't!! Can take or leave the one of the geese maybe but as for the rest of them....just stunning. One tip I would add (which you seem to achieve anyway) is to "make it an adventure".

fantastic insights Gary. Thanks.
