  • Holme Fell Once in a lifetime conditions
    This video is dedicated to all who venture out camera-in-hand week in and week out. Incredible commitment!

    A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a landscape photography trip to Holme Fell in the Lake District National Park. The guys who invited me meet up on a monthly basis.
    Whilst these guys meet up once a month they all venture up and down dale pretty much every week. I know them all and they're all excellent photographers.
    It wasn't until our meet-up did I have a sudden realisation of their dedication to the art of photography. Because of that, I decided to concentrate my efforts on them. I didn't plan it. I just hope I haven't embarrassed any of them with my ramblings.
    One thing's for certain, I had one of my best photography trips ever. Just being in the same place and feeling their energy, drive and enthusiasm were truly awe-inspiring.
    Already looking forward to the next one.

    I am probably as much an amateur as anyone can be. I only found you Gary within the last 2-3 weeks. I started following many other photographers as well but I enjoy your commentary the most. Even your descriptions are bang on for me. I had no idea what my life was going to bring when I had to stop working due to medical reasons. Photography seemed to be within reach. I was always a point and shoot, manual photographer. Get that quick shot and pack it away for something to look at later on. Sometimes, maybe most times, my pictures were just a data bank of nothing but possible memories for a future date. Since I had to quit working, I wondered what I would do. I've always liked editing. Making little short clips and playing around in different editing software. When I came to youtube, I would find many subjects and could never find my niche. I started looking more into photography and doing something different than point and shoot. I bought a Nikon D5100 with a kit lens years ago but never used its features beyond auto mode. Now, after watching a few youtube videos of photography and what you can create, I decided to give it a whirl. I only started looking into it more recently can only dream to become 1/2 of what I have seen photographers come up with. Mind you, years of experience can help in that case for sure but the teaching available online today can make even the worst photographers learn a trick or two. I started binge watching your videos recenlty and love the fine art photography. I think I live in a pretty awesome place here in Canada and hope to get some really decent shots one day from what I am learning online. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your expert descriptions of photography.

    That is exactly what I do, I have a full time job and landscape photography is a very expensive hobby, particularly if you are vlogging too. But my wife is with me on most of my travels and I really enjoy what I do. Therefore, if my work inspires others or if I can make someone get lost or feel like there with me and interested for a few minutes ....I'm happy!!

    This is what made me subscribe to your channel. Passion is what I saw that day, passion is what I still see. I also have a full time job. In fact I am commenting from my office in the middle of the night. I will be shooting when I finish here at 7 am (Canadian Maritime) and then I have to head home, get my kid from school, rest a bit and prepare for another night at work... with my camera gear right besides me. There are months of unedited work.... but who cares.... why we do it???? well..... I think you know the answer to that question better than anyone else..... Cheers.

    I’m genuinely wondering why you think going out once a week taking photos/vlogging as a hobby is incredulous, it’s a hobby just like the 1,000’s who play golf, cyclists, birdspotters, ramblers, football fans etc etc. Why is landscape photography any different, all these hobbies require expensive kit, time and passion.

  • @sebxiou-creatbus1927
    @sebxiou-creatbus1927 Рік тому

    Hi Gary. No disrespect to these photographers but I think you are profoundly wrong. You are lauding people because they pursue their hobby. So do millions of people daily, weekly, monthly. They run, they walk, they fish, they canoe, they play soccer, rugby, netball, etc, they write books and poems, they take part in politics via demonstrations, being a candidate for office, they sail, they drive, they even fly. There is nowt special about photographers following their hobbies. Not specifically this group: all amateur photographers.
    Moreover, you laud them for devoting time, effort and money to their hobby - so do all hobbyists. You praise them for putting-up with disquiet from their families because they are out - but what about those families left at home? Surely that is the opposite of praiseworthy? Did you think to interview the partners and children left behind?
    Ok, there is another aspect, of course. All people need outlets away from their regular jobs and lives - and that almost-certainly makes them better people with whom to live. And it is very likely that those partners and children (be they young or adult) left at home whilst toggers are out togging, at other times have their own pastimes at which they spend time, effort and money. So that is probably balanced and healthy all-round. (though I don't know as you only looked at one side of that social coin).
    But I still don't "get" why you praise amateur landscapers so. If they obtain fab results, they will be rightly praised for those photographs. But why praise their process? They are, after all, merely indulging in a selfish hobby - like most of us in the population.(I would say, equally, professional photographers do not deserve any special praise for doing their job. Where they would deserve praise is, again, if they produce excellent results and, in the case of You-Tubers, excellent YT content for the viewers - but no one deserves praise for simply doing their job or, much less, following their hobby. If we go down that rabbit-hole then we are praising everyone for everything and praise itself is totally undermined. What happens then when we want to praise public servants for hard jobs well-done for under-pay? What language is left to us if it has been sacrificed on the altar of vast over-use? (Dare I say, like "Fine-Art Photography").
    Whilst I am moaning about your thesis in this video, I will also say I think you usually do an excellent job and I also see the effort you have put into this. I have followed you since you invited Thomas Heaton to speak a few years ago and I generally love your channel. In fact, if I didn't care I wouldn't watch and, even if I had, I wouldn't bother commentating. So thank you so much for all your hard work and (usually) excellent, helpful videos. All the best.
