As someone who was made redundant a few weeks ago your video has inspired me to get out with my camera and stop feeling sorry for myself .Thankyou. Merry christmas to you and your family and keep up the good work.
Hi Henry....regarding your comment 'I wish I could give summat to every single one of yus'!...Just a thank you mate cause in fact you do give summat to everyone of us who watch you, in your passion, enthusiasm, knowledge, skill, dedication and the time you take to share this. Wow...that was a bit epic! Love the work you do. Thanks from sunny Shropshire.
First of all, Happy Holidays Henry and everyone on the channel! Season's Greetings from Alberta, Canada! :). I'm not a professional photographer, so for me it's grab your gear, go out, shoot, and enjoy the nature! And the philosophy is you get what the day prepared for you. I think planning may get you frustrated even more, because you don't always get what you planned for, right. And on the contrary, when you don't plan and get an epic day in terms of conditions, you get 110% of satisfaction out of the blue. At least that is my approach to photography. Keep on cracking, mate! 👍
I'm quite glad of it as well! I'm a Canadian 🇨🇦, looong time photographer, (stuck) here in Michigan for the past 20 years. I've been a fan of a few photogs who shoot in and around there, Thomas Heaton and Simon Baxter and such. Happy bunch of guys. I'm so grateful! Cheers!
"Always remember, you don't have to please anybody"... You my friend are 100% correct. I very much dislike those photographers that do photo critique on there channels. At the end of the day, it's what makes YOU happy.
Henry I also live Morecambe. Your enthusiasm and focus on your photography is infectious. I have learnt so much from your videos and you have made me realise how beautiful our surrounding areas are. Especially Sunderland point. You have inspired me to get out more. Class! as you would say. enjoy 2021 and can't wait for more of your tutorials
Hi Henry, I just really appreciate your down to earth honesty. You have infectious enthusiasm and positivity and a great love for your surroundings. I'm from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire and often visit West Nab and Deer Hill which overlook the Wessenden valley and its four reservoirs. The next time I go there I'll just sit and enjoy the scenery instead of concentrating on my photography! Thanks for your inspiration.
I don’t think I have ever seen anyone as passionate about his work as you. When I get discouraged about my photography (just an amateur), I watch one of your videos - then I’m ready to go shooting again. Keep up the great work! Roger - Columbia, SC USA
I liked the tree shot a lot tonight. I live on the coast of California, north of Los Angeles, and south of Santa Barbara. I enjoyed spending this year with you and your enthusiasm is contagious! It is Christmas night as I write so Merry Christmas!
Hi Henry - I find myself overdosing on youtube photography channels (because I, like you just can't get enough of this photographic creativity). You have passion in spade loads, and have to say your always number 1 port of call to fire up that passion. Just wish I was living where you you do rather than pretty flat Essex. Please carry on your great VLOGs. Have yourself a Very Merry Xmas. Here's hoping for a stunning New Year!..... You know "Top Draw". ATB & take care:-)
Henry, you said near the end of this video that you wish you could give something to everyone. You do. You share your passion and inspire people to get out and do more with their photography. I’ve always planned and regularly failed to get the shots I’ve been looking for, which is so disheartening. I’m now going to follow your advice in this video, not planning but just getting out into the countryside with my camera with no expectations of a shot and see what happens. Merry Christmas to you and yours from Pontypridd in the South Wales Valleys. 🎅
Hi Henry Merry Christmas from Gravesend in Kent, my wife and I stopped off in Morecambe bay in September on our way to Scotland and I managed to get a shot of one of the glorious Bay sunsets you've mentioned before. Keep up the good work
As I have mentioned in a previous comment, I am not a landscape photographer (mostly concerts, just not in 2020) but I turned to shooting a lot of local landscapes and woodlands this year because of known circumstances. I started to follow a few landscape photographers here on UA-cam, you being one of them. Of all the times I went out taking my camera(s) with me, there were 3 times that I actually planned something. The other times I just went out and reacted to whatever I would come across and I must say that's the way I prefer it. Wishing you a Merry Christmas from the most southern part of the Netherlands.
Merry Christmas Henry. I’m from Smithfield Rhode Island in the US. Your videos have been a gift to me this year and I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you.
Your appreciation for nature is evident in your enthusiasm and even if your photographs were bad, it would still be worth watching! But, fortunately your a top class photographer! Merry Christmas from North Carolina!
Its great to explore vicariously through your videos. More fellow Missourians here than expected. I went to U.K. last year for 3 weeks. So much there of ancient beauty. Scotland was my favorite with the Highlands, Isle of Lewis and I regret not knowing at the time passing by The Storr. Cheers.
Just became a subscriber after watching this video. I love your energy and positive attitude. I came up north in September to visit the Lake District for the first time with my camera and I completely fell in love. So much so that I've set it as a goal to eventually move closer to the North, south east is nice but the mountains are calling to me. Who knows, maybe we'll link up in the future for a trek. Keep up the amazing work lad. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Henry. I love your positivity, and your videos and photos insire me to find free time to get out with my camera. Much love from Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
Hi Henry. I only discovered your channel about 3 weeks ago but have been completely inspired to get back out exploring and practicing all the tips and pointers I've learned from them. Hopefully with them and plenty of practice, I can start to improve my photos. So thanks so much for the kick I needed but also thanks for just motivating me to get out again. I'd almost forgotten just how good it is to be out exploring and enjoying my local area! I love your enthusiastic and genuine style too. Hope you are having a great christmas and I'm looking forward to more of your vlogs. Barry, Wexford, south east ireland.
Hey Henry! Another cracking video. I used to stomp around Trough of Bowland quite a lot back when I lived in Clitheroe. I'm hailing from Oldham these days, not quite as glamorous perhaps but there's enough to feed the appetite for a budding landscape photographer nearby. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas, all the very best 🎉
Fabulous video Henry! The picture of the tree turned out very well for a quick snapshot. And that second image, that one is a keeper for sure, what a killer surprise to come across those stone structures all lined up in a row! I like the abstract fog picture, sets a nice mood. And that pond picture at the end, again another stunning keeper! My photography has been a bit frustrating lately so your enthusiasm is helping me get through. Merry Christmas from Seattle, WA USA. Keep up the great work, see you in 2021!
Hi Henry. Calling in from Javea, Spain. You have a GREAT channel and PLEASE keep putting out the great content you have. I really like knowing more about Scotland for some very personal reasons and your channel gives me that chance. All the best - Scott
Great video and discussion on frustration! From Spirit Lake, Iowa USA and thrilled to see England again and can hardly wait for another visit to places like Grassington, the lakes district and Ullswater, as well as Askrigg. Have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous new year. Be safe.
Hey Henri. Of course I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas time. And let's hope that "freedom" will return next year, so that we no longer have to worry about mutual distance, masks and washing hands. Although, in that beautiful English nature where you can exercise your passion, that is of less importance! Stay healthy and best regards from Arie from Purmerend (20 km from Amsterdam), the Netherlands.
A Very Happy Christmas and Healthy New Year to all. I feel we have a lot to look forward to in 2021and there is light at the end of this very nasty tunnel we have all been in for such a long time. Cannot wait to go on more adventures with you in the New Year, thanks for everything you have done from Hertfordshire.
Wonderful video! I clicked to watch because I ALWAYS set the bar low. I never know what I'll be taking pictures of when I set out. So I was interested in how you did that. Excellent! Loved it & your photos! Especially the layered one with the fog 😍 I'm located in connecticut USA
GENUINELY matey have a TOP DRAW Christmas!! Let's hope 2021 is a little better for us photographers (travel wise mainly)....can't wait to see you back in my neck of the woods NORTH WALES!... have a good'n!! 👍🎄
hope you had/are having a grand Crimbo young Henry, I was working all week including 25th so this is my first chance of catching up with your channel. mint as always! keep up the enthusiasm and positive attitude. I'm in Scottish Borders.
826 comments! Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but the title of that peak ‘the Lion and the Lamb’ is so apt at Christmas time as as they are both names for Jesus mentioned in Scripture - ‘The Lion of Judah’ and ‘The Lamb of God’ - your picture just fits the theme so well. Thank you.
Merry Christmas Henry! I'm from the Netherlands and only slightly jealous (...) that you have such amazing vistas and landscapes to roam and shoot - however, I do feel inspired to see what I can draw from Dutch landscapes. I'm relatively new to actually taming a proper dslr camera (I've enjoyed photography for decades, though - and it's the witch, not the wand, so I have captured some interesting pictures over the years) and you teach me a lot. I love how you increasingly vibe with the land, getting stoked and energized, and how it translates into your pictures. As you have philosophized as well - it somehow seems to be the case that the photographer's energy determines a lot in the end result. I believe this is a quantum physical effect (would make sense, since the observer determines how light behaves - right?) but I have no scientific way to prove this ;-) But it would make sense that our connection to what we see is non-local (what we see actually communicates back to us) and that this is a quality a good photographer has - to deeply connect to the world and 'capture' what one senses. Maybe you'll enjoy listening to this interview with Joel Meyerowitz www.ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/2018/3/16/the-candid-frame-412-joel-meyerowitz since he describes this dance with the phenomena one observes so very eloquently and with such (wise!) zest. I lived in Yorkshire for a couple of months in the past and I have experienced one of the most impressive, 'trance like' hikes there. There's just something about Britain ... ;-) Wishing you well through the Brexit goings on and the Corona situation. We're very lucky that our images and words can still travel freely! Cheers, Annedien (sounds a bit like Anadin ;-) PS: Take it easy on darkening the skies in post to make it more dramatic, there's a fine line between reinforcing an image and a gimmick ;-)
Enjoying your channel from (mostly) sunny San Diego. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to explore and try my hand at landscape photography. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Milton Wisconsin USA . Just started watching you this year. I've gone from sport photographer (Greyhounds) to landscape and wildlife. Thank you for your video's, I've learned a lot. OUT !
when i know nothing about photography,camera randomly watching videos in youtube and suddenly I found video of Simon baxtor, that video changed my mind,after that i found your channel,that time i feel your like me because you started as a beginner,I have been following your videos from that time and your every video inspires me to go out and get shot ,i am glad to see you early in the UA-cam and i have learned a lot from you Henry, thanks so much keep it up man
Henry - you are one of the most chilled and positive landscape photographers on UA-cam and I look forward to watching your videos after a stressful day in the office. I live on the edge of Salisbury Plain which for many people would be a dream location I’m sure, but it’s so flat and featureless. As with all of us at the moment, the current travel restrictions prevent me from seeking out more photographic locations so for now, your videos are providing me with the next best thing - the dream of being able to visit the beautiful countryside that you capture on film and in print. If you haven’t selected the recipient of the Lion & The Lamb yet, I would love a copy 😊. In the meantime, I look forward to the next video 👍
Once again, an excellent video Henry. What I really like is that you don't follow "the crowd"in most of your videos and pick locations away from the regular haunts. That in itself has started to make me think "outside the box" regarding locations. Many thanks for that. All the Very Best for 2021 from Southport. Out!
I have said it before Henry, but I absolutely love your enthusiasm, passion and it is inspiring. I do love the outdoors and enjoy trekking off on my own with my camera. It is a buzz just to get away from everything. You certainly share that with myself but you do go that extra mile. All the best and carry on the great work
Another great video Henry. You've inspired me to get my health sorted next year and get back to the wonderful outdoors with my camera. I loved the"abstract" picture, I took something similar at Worlds End last year. Living in Chester means I'm not to far from wonderful places that beg to be photographed. Thank you again and keep the videos coming.
Opened some gifts, (got some new gear), watched some Henry Turner (got some positive motivation), and am ready to head out in Wisconsin, USA to capture some images.. Merry Christmas!
Checking in from a little corner of Gloucestershire with Herefordshire and Worcestershire just a stones throw away. I don't think we have anything quite that rugged, but it's a beautiful part of the UK. Happy Christmas to you too Henry. And thank you for all the videos. They are appreciated. Looking forward to cracking on with the new year. :-)
Hello Henry. Merry Christmas from Utah (across the pond). I love your videos. They teach me to be a better landscape photographer, but just as important they help me to maintain a sense of optimism and enthusiasm about this art.
G'day from Sydney Australia! 🇦🇺 A great video and an awesome place to photograph because of the simplicity of the area, it truly would make you think out side of the box for compositions. You did an awesome job with the photos you took 👍 Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅🏻
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Henry, from Glencoe, South Australia 🇦🇺. As for giving something to everyone, you do that every time you put up these vlogs. Thanks for sharing Henry, Stay safe.
Merry Christmas from Sacramento, California U.S.A. I thoroughly enjoy going along with you on your photo adventures and seeing a part of the word that I'll likely never see in person. Thank you for your ongoing videos.
Enjoyed the video, no matter what the world throws at you you still smile and carry on. I as a hobby photographer find the videos inspirational and give me the necessary impulse to go out and photograph my native Cornwall. Have a great Christmas and keep the videos coming.
Merry Christmas from Croatia dear Henry! Your honesty and the kind of most positive "childish" energy and motivation for what you do is very inspiring... Guess that's the thing when you do what you love! :) If you plan on jumping to Croatian coast (Dalmatia) anytime especially for photography "tour", contact me for a free local guidance or any advices! Cheers mate
Merry Christmas everyone ! Stay safe and best wishes from Denmark 😄 and Henry . Me and my girlfriend really enjoy watching your videos please keep it up! It really motivates me to become a better photographer. Have a great one 🙂
Your walk rings a bell with my own life this year which saw much ups and terrible downs . I learnt to walk and explore with my camera out in the solitude of Singapore’s many Nature trails. Thank you Henry , for refreshing outlook and basic, civil honesty of your journey this year! Merry Xmas from Singapore.
Nollag sona Henry, ( Happy Christmas ) from Cork City Southern Ireland. Love your enthusiasm when your out filming . Keep up the good work, and here's hoping 2021 is better for all of us.
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I am retired and so I can get out mostly whenever I like. I am near Bexley SE of London on the borders with Kent. My subjects are buildings (an assignment for my church eNewsletter), parkland, local churches and streams. My results often disappoint, but whenever I get ready to go out but feel a distinct lack of enthusiasm, I think of Chirpy Henry and feel better - on with my boots and 'get a wobble on'. :D
I enjoy every single video you post. You are very genuine and inspirational. Keep up the great work! Marry Christmas to you and your family! From Ohio in U.S.
Merry Christmas Henry! Love your channel! I am from Nebraska 🇺🇸! As a beginner landscape photographer and hopefully soon to be blogger, I have learned a lot! Thank you for that.
I really enjoy your Bowland vlogs as it reminds me of my walking trips there in the 1990's when I lived in Coventry. It really was a forbidden place with a permissive access on a defined path up to Ward Stone that was often closed for shooting. Highlights included a stay at Slaidburn YHA and a retreat from Fair Snape Fell in a thunderstorm to shelter at Langden Castle. I managed to cover most of the fells over several visits but at least one trip was abandoned due to path closure, sadly I can't find the pictures in my loft archive. Thanks for all your vlogs over this year - I love your enthusiasm and down to earth approach. Merry Christmas mate from up here in Stirling!
I’m from Manchester your sister city Manchester New Hampshire USA.You are the reason I went out with my camera today. Have a Nikon D7000 but found a D7200 love it. Keep up the good work and crack on Love that !! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year Henry 🧤OUT🎄
You amaze me at how positive you always are. You have taught me a lot and my photography as come on in leaps and bounds. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021 From sunny Hastings East Sussex
Merry Christmas to you Henry and thanks for all the time you put into your blog much appreciated. Why is this so many people watching EastEnders and Emmerdale when they can be watching you a lot more entertaining keep up the good work Andy from North Norfolk.
Thanks for being a positive light through all the dull rubbish this year has brought. Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year, from sunny Scotland.
Your positivity is insane. I have really enjoyed watching your videos this year, and enjoy when the next one’s posted. Keep it up. I’m from Leicester 👋🏼
Out and about in our local areas great hills and valleys here in County Durham, lovely images really liked the shooting butt's one. Thanks for sharing. Happy Christmas Henry see you on your next adventure.🎅👍🙂
Stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching it ever since. Really enjoy your down to earth presentation and easy to follow content. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Accrington, Lancashire.
Merry Christmas from Minneapolis in the US. Love your videos and your expressions. They are top drawer and make me want to crack on! Thanks for making 2020 a little brighter for us.
Merry Christmas Henry Love your video I am from Mackay Queensland Australia , I have just getting into landscape photography and I learn a lot from you so keep up the great work you do. Cheers Peter
Glad that you are covering the Forest of Bowland. It tends to get oerlooked with the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales either side. I hail from North Cheshre but have been resident on the southern banks of the Firth of Forth for 35 years. The Lammermuir hills to the south of me are similar to Bowland in some ways. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a good 2021
Another great video. I live in NM so I draw inspiration from you being able to turn an otherwise boring landscape into such great compositions. I need to keep an optimistic attitude when I approach my scenes and perhaps I can pull something out of this desert oasis. Maybe not with as much energy as you but some just some. Cheers and Merry Christmas,
Happy Christmas matey I'm from Tunbridge wells in Kent I have followed you all year and thoroughly enjoyed all your vlogs. You are by far the most enthusiastic UA-camr in the photography game I have taken the most amount of photos this year and definitely captured my best to date Covid has been the worst thing to hit us since the world wars but it has allowed me and probably thousands of people to see the seasons instead of them passing us by. Hopefully next year will be a better one Keep up the good work Out!!!! 😊
This channel of yours -what a treat! It's a true joy to watch someone who is so passionate about what he does. If only someone could photograph your soul ;) Regards from Bruges, Belgium!
NICE ONE HENRY. Hearing about the corona virus everyday is driving me nuts. Nice to get away from it even if its for a little while and enjoy your vlogs. MERRY CHRISTMAS HENRY TO YOU AND YOURS.
Agreed Henry its been a good year (as long as you don't weaken lol) and I'm glad I've followed you through it, I've enjoyed all the vids and have learned a lot. I currently live in Buckie on the Moray Coast N. E. Scotland originally from Dingwall in Ross Shire. I wish you a happy Christmas and will see you in the New year, all the best 👍
Right from the middle of Germany ( near Frankfurt ) Merry Christmas to you too, Henry. And thank you for a lot of inspiring Videos and Thoughts about Landscape Photography.
Merry Christmas Henry, Keep living your dream and never let anybody or anything stop you from doing what you love. Be safe and keep the videos coming. Martin Giacobbe, Lanoka Harbor , New Jersey
From New Delhi, India: I love your video presentations and photographic creations, especially because I find them so challenging / invigorating. You seem to beam energy in all directions ;). You are proof that sincerity, enthusiasm and hard work always pay off. I use M43 gear but find that the techniques remain more or less the same. So MERRY CHRISTMAS and wish you an even better 2021. BTW, the sound quality in this video was a bit of a let down; hope you'll look into it. Cheers !
Merry Christmas Henry. Thoroughly enjoyed your vids during the year. I really liked the long focal length shot of the fells/layers...it worked for me - very calming image. Good luck for 2021. Bob from Blackburn, Lancashire 😊 OUT!
Merry Christmas Henry! Thank you so much for all the video’s this year. It has been a very hard year for many people under is, hope its going to be better in 2021. I have the same setup of gear that you have and i learn al lot of your videos. You come to places i just can dream off. Here in Belgium there is not so much “free space” as there is in the UK. But everytime i see a new video of you i can’t wait to go out and take pictures. Thank you Henri for that, so i wish you plesant holidays and a stunning 2021. Greetz Frank (Alstamarisphotography) from Belgium.
I’ll send a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Henry from Germany. Thank you for your videos that inspire me all the time to go out and shoot more landscape and help me to get better every time. Being a portrait photographer this helped me a lot going out in the beautiful surroundings I live in to shoot more landscape. Greetings from the Holsteinische Schweiz.
You’ve made my 2020 lockdown a little more enjoyable. Really hope you can continue living your your dream in 2021 and bring us this great content. Merry Christmas from Paul in Lincoln uk
Happy Christmas Henry from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Finding your channel this year was a great move; I love watching your passion for the outdoors and seeking compositions. Your enthusiasm for your tasks are inspiring - keep on doing what you do. Best wishes for the New Year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, Henry...from Bend in Central Oregon, USA! It's just after 4pm Christmas Eve here as I write this...thanks much for not only today's present but all the others you've posted throughout this crazy-ass year. I've learned a ton and have greatly enjoyed the "travelogue" part of your adventures as well. I think some of the problem in getting "jaded" is that most everyone has a cellular phone these days and many can take some pretty decent photos. I can (and have) shot some RAW photos with my Samsung Note 10+ by putting it into "pro" mode", and I think that convenience can make us a bit lazy at times. Guess it's a question/choice of "snap and move on" vs. taking the time to imagine an actual composition and taking the proper amount of time to do a good set up. Where do YOU draw the line between snapping a phone pic and taking the time to set up your big camera? For example, were you tempted to just simply snap a phone pic of that lonely tree, knowing that it wasn't going to be your greatest composition? Or, in the spirit of why you were there in the first place, was digging out your big camera part of getting into the mood for what was to come? Cheers...fair winds and calm seas!
As someone who was made redundant a few weeks ago your video has inspired me to get out with my camera and stop feeling sorry for myself .Thankyou. Merry christmas to you and your family and keep up the good work.
Hi Henry....regarding your comment 'I wish I could give summat to every single one of yus'!...Just a thank you mate cause in fact you do give summat to everyone of us who watch you, in your passion, enthusiasm, knowledge, skill, dedication and the time you take to share this. Wow...that was a bit epic! Love the work you do. Thanks from sunny Shropshire.
"Straight out of the top drawer!" - My favorite Henry quote!
Just got to the end of the video, From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
Me too from the US not something i hear. I always crack up when i hear it . Awesome

I would love to know how Henry keeps so positive, I want some of that.
Same here 😂
He found a way to make money doing what he loves

Great video and discussion on frustration! From Spirit Lake, Iowa USA and thrilled to see England again and can hardly wait for another visit to places like Grassington, the lakes district and Ullswater, as well as Askrigg. Have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous new year. Be safe.
Merry Christmas from Missouri, USA. I loved your vlog and truly agree with being careful when over-doing one's expectations.

Stay healthy and best regards from Arie from Purmerend (20 km from Amsterdam), the Netherlands.
A Very Happy Christmas and Healthy New Year to all. I feel we have a lot to look forward to in 2021and there is light at the end of this very nasty tunnel we have all been in for such a long time. Cannot wait to go on more adventures with you in the New Year, thanks for everything you have done from Hertfordshire.
Wonderful video! I clicked to watch because I ALWAYS set the bar low. I never know what I'll be taking pictures of when I set out. So I was interested in how you did that. Excellent! Loved it & your photos! Especially the layered one with the fog 😍 I'm located in connecticut USA
GENUINELY matey have a TOP DRAW Christmas!! Let's hope 2021 is a little better for us photographers (travel wise mainly)....can't wait to see you back in my neck of the woods NORTH WALES!... have a good'n!! 👍🎄
hope you had/are having a grand Crimbo young Henry, I was working all week including 25th so this is my first chance of catching up with your channel. mint as always! keep up the enthusiasm and positive attitude. I'm in Scottish Borders.
826 comments! Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but the title of that peak ‘the Lion and the Lamb’ is so apt at Christmas time as as they are both names for Jesus mentioned in Scripture - ‘The Lion of Judah’ and ‘The Lamb of God’ - your picture just fits the theme so well. Thank you.
Merry Christmas Henry!
I'm from the Netherlands and only slightly jealous (...) that you have such amazing vistas and landscapes to roam and shoot - however, I do feel inspired to see what I can draw from Dutch landscapes. I'm relatively new to actually taming a proper dslr camera (I've enjoyed photography for decades, though - and it's the witch, not the wand, so I have captured some interesting pictures over the years) and you teach me a lot. I love how you increasingly vibe with the land, getting stoked and energized, and how it translates into your pictures. As you have philosophized as well - it somehow seems to be the case that the photographer's energy determines a lot in the end result. I believe this is a quantum physical effect (would make sense, since the observer determines how light behaves - right?) but I have no scientific way to prove this ;-) But it would make sense that our connection to what we see is non-local (what we see actually communicates back to us) and that this is a quality a good photographer has - to deeply connect to the world and 'capture' what one senses.
Maybe you'll enjoy listening to this interview with Joel Meyerowitz www.ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/2018/3/16/the-candid-frame-412-joel-meyerowitz since he describes this dance with the phenomena one observes so very eloquently and with such (wise!) zest.
I lived in Yorkshire for a couple of months in the past and I have experienced one of the most impressive, 'trance like' hikes there. There's just something about Britain ... ;-)
Wishing you well through the Brexit goings on and the Corona situation. We're very lucky that our images and words can still travel freely!
Cheers,
Annedien
(sounds a bit like Anadin ;-)
PS: Take it easy on darkening the skies in post to make it more dramatic, there's a fine line between reinforcing an image and a gimmick ;-)
Enjoying your channel from (mostly) sunny San Diego. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to explore and try my hand at landscape photography. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Milton Wisconsin USA . Just started watching you this year. I've gone from sport photographer (Greyhounds) to landscape and wildlife. Thank you for your video's, I've learned a lot. OUT !
Merry Crimbo Henry, its been a funny old year but you kept going through it all.
Lets hope for a better 2021.
All the best and OUT!!,
when i know nothing about photography,camera randomly watching videos in youtube and suddenly I found video of Simon baxtor, that video changed my mind,after that i found your channel,that time i feel your like me because you started as a beginner,I have been following your videos from that time and your every video inspires me to go out and get shot ,i am glad to see you early in the UA-cam and i have learned a lot from you Henry, thanks so much keep it up man
Henry - you are one of the most chilled and positive landscape photographers on UA-cam and I look forward to watching your videos after a stressful day in the office. I live on the edge of Salisbury Plain which for many people would be a dream location I’m sure, but it’s so flat and featureless. As with all of us at the moment, the current travel restrictions prevent me from seeking out more photographic locations so for now, your videos are providing me with the next best thing - the dream of being able to visit the beautiful countryside that you capture on film and in print. If you haven’t selected the recipient of the Lion & The Lamb yet, I would love a copy 😊. In the meantime, I look forward to the next video 👍
Once again, an excellent video Henry. What I really like is that you don't follow "the crowd"in most of your videos and pick locations away from the regular haunts. That in itself has started to make me think "outside the box" regarding locations. Many thanks for that. All the Very Best for 2021 from Southport. Out!
Merry Christmas from the Missouri Ozarks. I look forward to every one of your videos. Your optimism is inspiring.
I have said it before Henry, but I absolutely love your enthusiasm, passion and it is inspiring. I do love the outdoors and enjoy trekking off on my own with my camera. It is a buzz just to get away from everything. You certainly share that with myself but you do go that extra mile. All the best and carry on the great work
Love your channel. Originally from Lincolnshire but now live in the Netherlands and spending summers just outside Morecambe.
Another great video Henry.
You've inspired me to get my health sorted next year and get back to the wonderful outdoors with my camera.
I loved the"abstract" picture, I took something similar at Worlds End last year.
Living in Chester means I'm not to far from wonderful places that beg to be photographed.
Thank you again and keep the videos coming.
Opened some gifts, (got some new gear), watched some Henry Turner (got some positive motivation), and am ready to head out in Wisconsin, USA to capture some images.. Merry Christmas!
Checking in from a little corner of Gloucestershire with Herefordshire and Worcestershire just a stones throw away. I don't think we have anything quite that rugged, but it's a beautiful part of the UK. Happy Christmas to you too Henry. And thank you for all the videos. They are appreciated. Looking forward to cracking on with the new year. :-)
Hello Henry. Merry Christmas from Utah (across the pond). I love your videos. They teach me to be a better landscape photographer, but just as important they help me to maintain a sense of optimism and enthusiasm about this art.
G'day from Sydney Australia! 🇦🇺 A great video and an awesome place to photograph because of the simplicity of the area, it truly would make you think out side of the box for compositions. You did an awesome job with the photos you took 👍 Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅🏻
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Henry, from Glencoe, South Australia 🇦🇺.
As for giving something to everyone, you do that every time you put up these vlogs.
Thanks for sharing Henry, Stay safe.
Merry Christmas from Sacramento, California U.S.A. I thoroughly enjoy going along with you on your photo adventures and seeing a part of the word that I'll likely never see in person. Thank you for your ongoing videos.
Enjoyed the video, no matter what the world throws at you you still smile and carry on. I as a hobby photographer find the videos inspirational and give me the necessary impulse to go out and photograph my native Cornwall. Have a great Christmas and keep the videos coming.
We enjoy your enthusiasm and positive approach to photography. Happy Christmas from the Okanagan Valley, BC, Canada!
Merry Christmas from Croatia dear Henry! Your honesty and the kind of most positive "childish" energy and motivation for what you do is very inspiring... Guess that's the thing when you do what you love! :) If you plan on jumping to Croatian coast (Dalmatia) anytime especially for photography "tour", contact me for a free local guidance or any advices! Cheers mate
Merry Christmas! I have never really been interested in landscape photography but you have inspired me to try it. Happy New Year from northeast US.
Merry Christmas everyone ! Stay safe and best wishes from Denmark 😄 and Henry . Me and my girlfriend really enjoy watching your videos please keep it up! It really motivates me to become a better photographer. Have a great one 🙂
Your walk rings a bell with my own life this year which saw much ups and terrible downs . I learnt to walk and explore with my camera out in the solitude of Singapore’s many Nature trails. Thank you Henry , for refreshing outlook and basic, civil honesty of your journey this year! Merry Xmas from Singapore.
Hi Henry. Your enthusiasm is endless, your photographs never disappoint. Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year. From Peter down in Devon. :-)
Merry Christmas from Portugal.
Going out, no plan, take pictures, one of the best ways to clear my mind.
Keep up the good work.
Your enthusiasm is immense, fastly becoming my fave place to go for photography binge-ING. Thank you so much you're an inspiration man!
Nollag sona Henry, ( Happy Christmas ) from Cork City Southern Ireland. Love your enthusiasm when your out filming . Keep up the good work, and here's hoping 2021 is better for all of us.
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I am retired and so I can get out mostly whenever I like. I am near Bexley SE of London on the borders with Kent.
My subjects are buildings (an assignment for my church eNewsletter), parkland, local churches and streams.
My results often disappoint, but whenever I get ready to go out but feel a distinct lack of enthusiasm, I think of Chirpy Henry and feel better - on with my boots and 'get a wobble on'. :D
I enjoy every single video you post. You are very genuine and inspirational. Keep up the great work! Marry Christmas to you and your family! From Ohio in U.S.
Merry Christmas Henry! Love your channel! I am from Nebraska 🇺🇸! As a beginner landscape photographer and hopefully soon to be blogger, I have learned a lot! Thank you for that.
I really enjoy your Bowland vlogs as it reminds me of my walking trips there in the 1990's when I lived in Coventry. It really was a forbidden place with a permissive access on a defined path up to Ward Stone that was often closed for shooting. Highlights included a stay at Slaidburn YHA and a retreat from Fair Snape Fell in a thunderstorm to shelter at Langden Castle. I managed to cover most of the fells over several visits but at least one trip was abandoned due to path closure, sadly I can't find the pictures in my loft archive. Thanks for all your vlogs over this year - I love your enthusiasm and down to earth approach. Merry Christmas mate from up here in Stirling!
Merry Christmas, Henry, from Wiltshire UK (and Glasgow and Singapore, but not this year for obvious reasons) and Happy New Year.
I’m from Manchester your sister city Manchester New Hampshire USA.You are the reason I went out with my camera today. Have a Nikon D7000 but found a D7200 love it. Keep up the good work and crack on Love that !! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year Henry 🧤OUT🎄
You amaze me at how positive you always are. You have taught me a lot and my photography as come on in leaps and bounds. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021
From sunny Hastings East Sussex
Please keep inspiring all of us to a better landscape/composition photography with your videos. I never miss one in Portugal. Thank you so much.
Merry Christmas to you Henry and thanks for all the time you put into your blog much appreciated. Why is this so many people watching EastEnders and Emmerdale when they can be watching you a lot more entertaining keep up the good work Andy from North Norfolk.
Thanks for being a positive light through all the dull rubbish this year has brought. Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year, from sunny Scotland.
Your positivity is insane. I have really enjoyed watching your videos this year, and enjoy when the next one’s posted. Keep it up. I’m from Leicester 👋🏼
Out and about in our local areas great hills and valleys here in County Durham, lovely images really liked the shooting butt's one. Thanks for sharing. Happy Christmas Henry see you on your next adventure.🎅👍🙂
Stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching it ever since. Really enjoy your down to earth presentation and easy to follow content. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Accrington, Lancashire.
Merry Christmas from Texas Henry!! Love your videos. Thanks for all of the hard work!!
Merry Christmas from Lisbon, Portugal! Always good and uplifting to see your videos. Thank you.
All the best and Merry Christmas Henry! Stay safe and healthy so we can all follow your adventures next year. All the best from Gdansk, Poland.
Merry Christmas from Minneapolis in the US. Love your videos and your expressions. They are top drawer and make me want to crack on! Thanks for making 2020 a little brighter for us.
Merry Christmas Henry
Love your video I am from Mackay Queensland Australia , I have just getting into landscape photography and I learn a lot from you so keep up the great work you do. Cheers Peter
Glad that you are covering the Forest of Bowland. It tends to get oerlooked with the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales either side. I hail from North Cheshre but have been resident on the southern banks of the Firth of Forth for 35 years. The Lammermuir hills to the south of me are similar to Bowland in some ways. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a good 2021
Another great video. I live in NM so I draw inspiration from you being able to turn an otherwise boring landscape into such great compositions. I need to keep an optimistic attitude when I approach my scenes and perhaps I can pull something out of this desert oasis. Maybe not with as much energy as you but some just some. Cheers and Merry Christmas,
Happy Christmas matey
I'm from Tunbridge wells in Kent
I have followed you all year and thoroughly enjoyed all your vlogs.
You are by far the most enthusiastic UA-camr in the photography game
I have taken the most amount of photos this year and definitely captured my best to date
Covid has been the worst thing to hit us since the world wars but it has allowed me and probably thousands of people to see the seasons instead of them passing us by.
Hopefully next year will be a better one
Keep up the good work
Out!!!! 😊
This channel of yours -what a treat! It's a true joy to watch someone who is so passionate about what he does. If only someone could photograph your soul ;) Regards from Bruges, Belgium!
NICE ONE HENRY.
Hearing about the corona virus everyday is driving me nuts.
Nice to get away from it even if its for a little while and enjoy your vlogs.
MERRY CHRISTMAS HENRY TO YOU AND YOURS.
Agreed Henry its been a good year (as long as you don't weaken lol) and I'm glad I've followed you through it, I've enjoyed all the vids and have learned a lot. I currently live in Buckie on the Moray Coast N. E. Scotland originally from Dingwall in Ross Shire. I wish you a happy Christmas and will see you in the New year, all the best 👍
Right from the middle of Germany ( near Frankfurt ) Merry Christmas to you too, Henry. And thank you for a lot of inspiring Videos and Thoughts about Landscape Photography.
Merry Christmas Henry, Keep living your dream and never let anybody or anything stop you from doing what you love. Be safe and keep the videos coming. Martin Giacobbe, Lanoka Harbor , New Jersey
Merry Christmas from down south in Berkshire🎅⛄🎄. I hope you have a good one! I hope next year is as good for you as this year has been 👍
Another cracking video Henry. Watched on Boxing Day in Rainhill Merseyside while the grandkids played with their barbies 👍
From New Delhi, India: I love your video presentations and photographic creations, especially because I find them so challenging / invigorating. You seem to beam energy in all directions ;). You are proof that sincerity, enthusiasm and hard work always pay off. I use M43 gear but find that the techniques remain more or less the same. So MERRY CHRISTMAS and wish you an even better 2021. BTW, the sound quality in this video was a bit of a let down; hope you'll look into it. Cheers !
Merry Christmas Henry. Thoroughly enjoyed your vids during the year. I really liked the long focal length shot of the fells/layers...it worked for me - very calming image. Good luck for 2021. Bob from Blackburn, Lancashire 😊 OUT!
Wishing you Henry and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Enjoying your channel from North Carolina, USA.
Happy Holidays. Thanks for sharing your passion and inspiring others. Watching your videos from Connecticut, USA.
Happy Christmas Henry from Sudbury in Suffolk, always look forward to your videos and the enthusiasm. Henry Turner - top drawer !
I too am living the dream in Crosby. Have a good one H, see you in the new year.
IM A NEWBIE....LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS....BUT IM GROWING TO LIKE THIS CHANNEL....MERRY CHRISTMAS HENRY :)
Henry your videos are so inspirational. After watching I have to go out and try to capture some landscape images. Merry Christmas from Canada
Merry Christmas Henry!
Thank you so much for all the video’s this year. It has been a very hard year for many people under is, hope its going to be better in 2021. I have the same setup of gear that you have and i learn al lot of your videos. You come to places i just can dream off. Here in Belgium there is not so much “free space” as there is in the UK. But everytime i see a new video of you i can’t wait to go out and take pictures.
Thank you Henri for that, so i wish you plesant holidays and a stunning 2021. Greetz Frank (Alstamarisphotography) from Belgium.
I’ll send a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Henry from Germany. Thank you for your videos that inspire me all the time to go out and shoot more landscape and help me to get better every time. Being a portrait photographer this helped me a lot going out in the beautiful surroundings I live in to shoot more landscape. Greetings from the Holsteinische Schweiz.
You’ve made my 2020 lockdown a little more enjoyable. Really hope you can continue living your your dream in 2021 and bring us this great content.
Merry Christmas from Paul in Lincoln uk
Happy Christmas Henry from Leeds, West Yorkshire. Finding your channel this year was a great move; I love watching your passion for the outdoors and seeking compositions. Your enthusiasm for your tasks are inspiring - keep on doing what you do. Best wishes for the New Year!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, Henry...from Bend in Central Oregon, USA!
It's just after 4pm Christmas Eve here as I write this...thanks much for not only today's present but all the others you've posted throughout this crazy-ass year. I've learned a ton and have greatly enjoyed the "travelogue" part of your adventures as well.
I think some of the problem in getting "jaded" is that most everyone has a cellular phone these days and many can take some pretty decent photos. I can (and have) shot some RAW photos with my Samsung Note 10+ by putting it into "pro" mode", and I think that convenience can make us a bit lazy at times. Guess it's a question/choice of "snap and move on" vs. taking the time to imagine an actual composition and taking the proper amount of time to do a good set up.
Where do YOU draw the line between snapping a phone pic and taking the time to set up your big camera? For example, were you tempted to just simply snap a phone pic of that lonely tree, knowing that it wasn't going to be your greatest composition? Or, in the spirit of why you were there in the first place, was digging out your big camera part of getting into the mood for what was to come?
Cheers...fair winds and calm seas!
Merry Christmas and thanks for helping to keep us all going. From just up the coast from you in New Abbey, Dumfries and Galloway. Stay safe.
