Hi Stuart, Thank you for the time & effort you put into making these videos. You live & work in one of the most beautiful places in the UK & even with the ever changing weather of the lakes, you still produce the goods mate. Your images are inspiring & I can't wait until my next visit to the lakes to capture some of the beauty that you have on your door step. Keep up the good work mate
From Lofoten back to Wasdale, two areas like chalk and cheese, and yet you still make such good use of the conditions presented to you - love the waterfall photos Stuart. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in to producing your vlogs too, I’m really surprised you’re not way higher in the number of subs.
Thanks Martin, yeah quite the contrast! I’ve not been on UA-cam that long to be honest so subs is quite a slow build. Plus the platform is radically different to what it was 4-5 years ago when it was much easier for people to build an audience.
I loved both photos you got in this video and thanks for taking the time to make the videos too. I am sure they are a pain to make and you would rather just be taking incredible photos. Also what I love about you is you are real and tell things how you see them. Well done Stuart. 👏
Thanks for making these videos Stuart, much appreciated. I loved all the images but boy, that brief shot of the lone tree in the lake looked superb! I really hope we get to see that again. Best regards - Robin
Another great video! We appreciate your efforts! I also appreciate your detailed explanations of your set-up for your photos! Thanks for taking me along!
Glad you stuck it out mate in those conditions, the video was great as were the images, classic lakeland views. The additional drone footage really looks good to mate, more kit to carry ! but i think worth it.
I think I prefer the landscape image; less contrast with the blue pool. That said, both look pretty good. I have never got on with Wasdale, no idea why! Must try again.
Cheers Simon it’s actually the side of Great End in the background (Gable is off to my left) the jacket I’ve had while just rarely gets an outing as I’ve not shot many videos in rain for a good while.
Hello Stuart, I prefer the first shot because of the beautiful colour of the water. As you said, it is contrasting nicely with the warm colours of the mountainrange. The second one isn’t bad neither. Thank you very much!
Ah, the joys of Lakeland weather! Great couple of images Stuart but I think the second is the winner for me with great light, colour and just the right amount of motion in the water. And to echo other commentators - thanks for all the effort in putting these videos out, they are much appreciated. Cheers.
I think you enjoyed yourself on the quiet really, Stuart. Never regret going swimming. It looks a fascinating region of the Lakes which we've yet to explore. I think I prefer the first image but then who am I to judge! Efforts much appreciated as always 😊
Cheers Bob oh I always love being out there in regardless of the weather, it’s just the bloody filming that complicates it! Otherwise would have been lovely 🤣
I really envy you having this wealth of known locations you can head to when you see that the prevailing conditions at the time are going to be close to ideal for shooting at a particular one. I think that is one of the greatest challenges for any landscape photographer, developing that ability to match a particular set of weather conditions to a specific location. I think I know more about what conditions are not favourable for many of the locations I know, as I had a habit of turning up to any given location to recce it in possibly the worst conditions imaginable for it. The problem then is finding a location's potential, as it's not easy to see it when the conditions are the polar opposite of it's ideal shooting conditions. Also choosing the right time of year to go to it too is a big help. Do you keep a notebook where you jot down all this information for future reference? Anyway, some lovely images of the waterfalls. Another type of location I have a shortage of in my locality in Lincolnshire. The closest I can get is a couple of weirs, though they tend to have rubbish lodged within them that rather spoils the scene. Looking forward to your next vlog!
Thanks Ian, if it’s something really specific like a grid reference of a spot amongst a particularly remote area with no obvious markers to go off then yes I’ll note them down in the phone and on google maps, though that’s not that often.
@@StuartMcGlennon, so you just commit it to memory including what the best conditions to shoot it under are? You must have a very good memory to not get all that information muddled up. I prefer #What3Words to Google Maps, though I use both.
Some lovely shots as usual Stuart. I really enjoy your videos in that they’re all about photography and are always inspiring. I’m sure we all really appreciate the effort you put in.
Great conditions to do this style of shooting, love a bit of mood but agree the videos are often a pain to produce ! No one knows unless they do it. Once again great images that most people wouldn’t go out in !
@@StuartMcGlennon the canon has excellent weather sealing but I still don’t want it out in the rain ! I always have dog poo bags with me which go over both cameras perfectly till the rain goes over !
Hi Stuart, thanks for all your efforts they really are appreciated, and to other viewers, the 2nd video from Norway is definitely worth a watch. Thanks for sharing your skills, and the magical change of coat colour from blue to red was a clever trick! ... guess the blue one got a bit overwhelmed with the wet conditions. Super photos by the way!
Another great video, as always. Just arrived in the Lake District for the Easter holidays so hoping for plenty of moody conditions and maybe a little bit of sunshine :)
Really appreciate the effort you put in all of your videos, it gives me (and I think all the other viewers) lots of inspiration for my own photography. Really like the second waterfall shot, great work!!!
Hi Stuart, it's really interesting to see how you manage to pull out a great shot with difficult conditions. I was up in Wasdale a couple of weeks ago with the family so no time for careful photography, but I love the landscape round there. I'm booked onto your November workshop so really looking forward to learning first hand how to get some of those wonderful images.
Love this location only just found out about these nice little waterfalls a few weeks ago and did a shoot up there one morning but the light wasn't in my favour. Keep up the good work
Hi Stuart, I stumbled over your channel quite recently, and I am happy to say that it's pretty inspiring 😊 also I really like your style of images! keep going!!
If you have a DSLR camara you can get a camara umbrella for it that fits on the flash mount that swivels purchased on eBay I have one If you have a DSLR camara you can Purchase a umbrella for it
Two stunners there Stuart.Appreciate you getting wet for our benefit and the effort that goes into making these vlogs.
Cheers Colin
I enjoyed the video Stuart, thanks for hanging in there.
Cheers Matt 👍
I do appreciate your videos! Please don’t stop! Your photography is fabulous!
Thanks Kris 👍
Loved the first image more but I ain’t complaining Stuart! You work magic out in those hills 💙
Thanks Anne 👍
Well worth the effort, Stuart. Glad that you persisted with this and gave us an insight into your thought process.
Thanks Michael

Not been down wasdale in years. Used to walk every May on a weekend trip. Great photos again
Thanks Ian

Thanks Randy
Ill have to take a walk up there not been that way... Good to see you back in The UK
Awesome shots. Can't decide if I like #1 or #2 better, both great.
👍👍
A well moody lakeland shot Stuart, you need stock, the season starts next weekend, and a free Cadbury creme egg with every print you sell.
Cheers Iain that’s not a bad idea 😂
@@StuartMcGlennon hope you have a fruitful Easter.
Glad you stuck it out mate in those conditions, the video was great as were the images, classic lakeland views. The additional drone footage really looks good to mate, more kit to carry ! but i think worth it.
Cheers mate aye never a wasted shoot in those surroundings
Great little video, thank you for sharing. I might have to research and visit this area it looks stunning 😮
Thanks 👍

Thanks Steve 👍
Looks like a new jacket there 😊 The Great Gable waterfall shot is superb. Classic Lake District. Thanks for sticking at it 😊😊😊

It is mate yes

Thanks mate yeah the wee Fuji I don’t think is weather sealed, exposed ports with the mic’s etc. meant it was an absolute pain, one of those days!
@@StuartMcGlennon the canon has excellent weather sealing but I still don’t want it out in the rain ! I always have dog poo bags with me which go over both cameras perfectly till the rain goes over !
