    I love that you and Henry did these videos together. Henry is such a wonderful human being and photographer. You and he have different approaches to producing images with both producing some wonderful results. I would love to see more videos with you and Henry.

    Nice! Henry is the "Energizer Bunny' of landscape photographers. Reminds me of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. Lots of enthusiasm. Nice of the hoar frost to show up when you needed it most. Carry on. 👍🥂 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏾

    Lads day out having a fantastic time, thats what its about at the end of the day.
    What a bonus to see Henry, bet you were worn out at the end of the day as Henry usually likes to get a "wobble on" when he is on a mission.

    Thank you for another wonderful video. I really appreciate how you and Henry shared with us the reality that photography can be hard. It’s not just an endless series of successful shots in any conditions. It takes work. Seeing how you both struggled lets us amateurs realize that we’re not alone and that it’s important to keep looking for possibilities. So important!

    So glad you guys made it out. Always enjoy seeing what you get. Years ago when I was still shooting film, I went to Craters of The Moon in Idaho and shot some fantastic scenes in direct light. It didn't work. Side lighting really captures the textures doesn't it. (Nice to see you branching out again into wildlife :-) )

    Merry Christmas and greetings from the Northwest Territories in Canada, above the Arctic Circle. Spectacular drone footage, great say out with a crazy upbeat landscape photographer. I've been subscribed to his channel for several years. I was out shooting mainly frost trees and bush stems when I went to the post office last week. It's or month of no sunrise, so we just get blue hour or a bit of burnt orange or golden hour light bouncing of the frost and snow.

    Some random thoughts: Did you give Henry back his battery? :^) I'm really envious of your very long sunsets. Here in Arizona the Sun drops like a lead weight. Having lived in Minnesota most of my life those sunset shots really brings back the memories (well kept because they were frozen.....). Morton Hillmer would be proud of your Robin shots. I would certainly encourage you to do more bird shots. I can't recall if you have the 100-400 lens. If not - I think that is one lens that deserves your consideration.

  • @nevvanclarke9225
    @nevvanclarke9225 11 місяців тому

    This might sound really crazy, but when it's blue sky which where I live is a lot because I live in Australia I go with black-and-white. Much easier to do black-and-white Photography when you've got lots of light because you can create some nice dynamic range and some contrast as well but definitely I go black-and-white every time even if I do an image or overexposed it slightly I'll go with black-and-white for the edit because you can fix it

    • @Professor_Internet_PhD
      @Professor_Internet_PhD 11 місяців тому +1

      Not crazy at all. Use the polarizer to darken the sky and you can get great B&W images.

  • @MATCHLESS789
    @MATCHLESS789 11 місяців тому

    What would you do with completely grey days? Basically, everything is covered in snow and the sun is behind a 100% cloud coverage most of the month, so you get the flat boring light from sunrise to sunset and all you get is naturally monochrome pictures.. 😅

  • @LeeAllen337
    @LeeAllen337 11 місяців тому +1

    I don't find photography hard, I think finding the time to go out is harder. Also, blue sky's don't bother me like it clearly does with most photographers. I find it kind of funny.
