  • a bad day in the mountains | Failing at Landscape photography
    Heading out for a hike and some photography in the western fells. Things didn't really go to plan for me as I set out on my own in search of some epic landscape photography

    You know, I wasn't gonna turn this one into a video coz I REALLY was not having a fun time up there when it all turned on me.
    But here we are 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Another great production, Steph. Again, I can fully relate to this, having an image in your head of the type of pictures or videos you want to capture, and yet again mother nature, does not play ball.
    Here's to another adventure where you hopefully capture that long awaited picture. Stay safe ATB Dave 👍

    Summit Fever... 🙂👍 The best adventures are the ones that leave you hungry for more... to go again... to try again.
    Back in the day... Dad and I made the summit of Great Gable... and as we did.. the cloud dropped. Couldn't see our feet it was that thick.... scary as hell as we never knew if we were on the path or heading to a cliff... made it down just before dark and greeted by the rescue party heading out to find us. Mum had stayed back at base and alerted them.... no mobile phones in those days.
    Looking forward to seeing more adventures ... its bringing back lots of memories. Thanks.
    Take care.... Steve.

      Yeah that does sound scary 😐 the pessimist in me did start thinking about worst case scenarios, no phone reception, what if I get stuck here.
      If my husband were with me he would've made us turn back at a reasonable time so really .... It's his fault 😏

    I love your video and how you incorporate it into a visual storytelling. I find it very enjoyable to watch. Your images are about the outdoors and enjoying yourself. Isn't that That is why we do it? If you get a photograph then great. If not that is also okay. Great work and thank you for sharing.

      100%. Being outside, hiking seeing the world that's the key. Photos are just a bonus :)

    Had a similar issue when walked snowdon for the first time, we left early and it forecast ok weather but as we was walking up you could see it was starting to get a little rough, low clouds coming in and tbh we didn't think we would make the summit, the wind was picking up to the point where you would have to sit down and let it pass it was that strong. We finally made it but you couldn't see anything, the rain was horrific and the wind just kept getting worse. Coming back down was a nightmare as the wind was getting violent that they were turning people back.
    I managed to get some vid on the way up but nothjng later on which was a shame. However we do look back and think it was an amazing time and proud we done it. We was so sore the following few days though

      Dude Snowdon is slippery on a dry day, that would've been a nightmare.
      I got nervous reading this, I was imagining the conditions haha.
