Hi Andrew this video is thought provoking with some excellent images, things I wouldn’t look for when out. I am more into nature and this video reveals my close mindedness to different photographic arenas. Thank you. S
Strange that you should watch this video now - the next video is from exactly the same location but looking at (mostly) slightly different things. Thanks.
Andrew, I love your images! And thank you for taking the time to demonstrate photographic technique as well as showing us subject matter that we might miss if we were to find ourselves in a similar situation. Your UA-cam channel is one of the very few that really tries to help others improve photographically.
I stumbled on this video by accident and I'm pleased I did, a refreshing change from the channels I usually watch. You have a great eye for an image and explain what you're doing and why in a clear and engaging way, thank you.
It must have been so relaxing and peaceful to take photos on the beach without nobody to disturb you ! Like yoga. And so much fun ! I loved the wheel shots, the ropes and the fishing nets with the water drops that looked like gems. 😍 Really, I love those photos ! The square crop was a good idea. You are lucky ! Take care !
When I shot the boat, I didn't envision it as a mono, but on the big screen, it screamed high-contrast black and white to me. I think, however, the cloud to the left of the mono version makes it a bit messy. I only spotted that a day or so into the edit of the video too. Strange how your opinion of things changes with the passing hours.
I love the photos you found on this video, the colors, the textures are just so lovely. I've found that the more I shoot macro in my own journey, that I find myself finding those shapes, those textures that I might have overlooked had I not taken the time to look at the small things.
I love macro too but I also fiund that things don't have to be small to be amazingly interesting. Just get a bit closer and fill the frame: works a treat. Thanks for watching, Hope you'll find my other content interesting too.
Thanks Andy, your video is a good reminder to keep your eyes open wherever you are. I missed all those interesting viewpoints when I was there but recognised them all!
Hi Andrew, Just found your channel today and I must say I seem to have the same eye for details as you do. Such an interesting video full of advice for those who say `I can't find anything to shoot'. Will get on now and look at some more of your videos. Thanks for your inspiration. 😀
Hi Andrew, some really good images again, I've decided that I don't use square crop anywhere near enough for certain shots such as the many you took here. I think my favourite, was the last image of the curved steps 👍
Hello, Mate. Enjoy watching your video again. The picture you took with those ropes is really beautiful. Good light too. Of that cabin, I think, and this is of course personal, the black and white the best. The hard light together with the deep shadow makes it a very nice late-night, friend. Obviously, you just didn't let that pass. This is something that catches your eye and you have to take a picture of it. The photo of the stairs is very beautiful, friendly, and very well seen too. I mean how you do the composition is very, very well seen, buddy. You can see a nice piece of photography here. As simple as it seems. If you check, there is a lot of "art" out there for the taking if you look closely. Looking without seeing is not the right approach when you go out with a camera. That black and white with the wet road or path, whatever it may be, beautiful. Especially the light that is reflected is very beautiful. But you can rest assured you look and see the possibilities. You will always miss one, but this is right for you. Thank you, friend, these are the little things that mean a lot to me right now. Greetings from the Netherlands, Antoine.
I am very jelly of all those potential subject material! I go down to the sea (1hour drive) and there is limited material. All those weathered doors caught my eye too. Colour, mono all good! Square is great, it is very arty and sells well. Gosh I could almost smell that place, miss England 🥰
Don't be envious. There are amazing shapes, form and textures in the things around you too. Don't forget, these things at Cromer are mundane too, they're just a different kind of mundane to the things you have around you. Learn to see what's there. Check out this video of more common mundane stuff. ua-cam.com/video/asSbZWAXLsg/v-deo.html
Some really nice images and great inspiration here Andrew, thanks. I’ve emailed you regarding the cottages you mentioned, could you give me the details? 👍
Its funny you mention woodland. Most pictures from hiking trails are even and very random. But if you zoom in a little just like you said, you can get some really wonderful scenes.
Enjoyed the video, Andy. I think I prefer the b&w version of the boat...but they are both nice. The water droplets on the netting made for some really cool photos. Glad you stopped. I also really liked all the different stairs shots. I wish we had that here but southern New Jersey is pretty flat. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video. Be well~
Norfolk is pretty flat too. What few big hills we have here are mere molehills compared to more central regions of the country. If you watch some of my Broads-based videos, you'll hear me moan relentlessly that I struggle with flat landscapes :-) (now, that's selling it, isn't it?) Thank you for watching and commenting. Didn't Simon and Garfunkel sing about the New Jersey Turnpike in "America"? Can't all be flat :-)
I think the use of the word "hype" shows a dislike of B&W images. It's not hype, it's artistic interpretation. If you take away the colour information, you are left with an image that demands that your brain does a bit more work. It helps display something in a way that you're not used to seeing, creating a more raw image where the subject calls to the eye in a different way to how it would if it were in colour. It's fine that you don't like black and white, but it's a real shame too as shooting with mono in mind makes us work differently and exercise our skillet as photographers more.
Are you okay? You don't really sound like it. As far as just for narrative and sound quality I do wish that you would had a chance to sit down before recording the voice over, but honestly I'm a little just bit concerned about your health, sounds like youre having a really rough time carrrying that tripod

Being a total beginner,I think composition and having an "eye" for a picture is a special talent,which you obviously have👍🏻
It's a skill that you can learn and develop - it can take time, but like anything, regular practice is needed.
Andrew, I love your images! And thank you for taking the time to demonstrate photographic technique as well as showing us subject matter that we might miss if we were to find ourselves in a similar situation.

@@AndyBanner You are welcome.
Great vid, you have really opened my eyes, thank you 👍
Glad to help

That is very kind of you to say. Thank you. I hope you like my other content too. Keep telling me, it helps my wellbeing!
Colour this time! Wonderful photos. Thank you!

Finally, a proper photographer on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
High praise indeed. Thank you very much.
I think I prefer the color version of the boat. Absolutely love the shots of the fishing net with water beads.
When I shot the boat, I didn't envision it as a mono, but on the big screen, it screamed high-contrast black and white to me. I think, however, the cloud to the left of the mono version makes it a bit messy. I only spotted that a day or so into the edit of the video too.

Creative and instructive. Thank you.

Water beads are stunning.
Thank you! Cheers!
An excellent way of demonstrating the need to look to our own surroundings first. We'll done and thank you.
Heck, no. Thank you. Thank you for watching and giving my work your valuable time.
Aluminum boat in monochrome, please! Excellent video to shake up my brain and remember how to 'see'! You have a very creative eye! Cheers!
Thank you, Walt. Very kind. I am pleased my video proved useful to you. I hope you will subscribe and follow more of my work.
This is great, really enjoyed it and learned a lot. You are a natural.
Thank you so much!

Thank you. I think that cropping is a highly under-used editing technique. I don't use it enough either
In my opinion you are a genius. Congratulations.
That's very kind. Thank you.

Antoine,
Kind words as ever. Thank you. hope you get some good shots yourself.
Andy
Excellent video. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Many thanks!
What lens did you use for the rope pictures? So cool.
That's my Olympus 12-40 F2.8 pro lens. Excellent bit of glass.
is that the Olympus 12-40 2.8 Pro lens? Very nice images.
Yes, I have the 12-40 and 40-150 pro lenses. Excellent quality optics.
Thanks for your support.

14:06 that is an 'incredible' image mate :)
That's very kind if you, thank you
Some really nice images and great inspiration here Andrew, thanks. I’ve emailed you regarding the cottages you mentioned, could you give me the details? 👍
Hi Sue, Thank you for your continued support. I have been having some trouble with my email. Your message probably bounced. Can you send again pls?
Its funny you mention woodland. Most pictures from hiking trails are even and very random. But if you zoom in a little just like you said, you can get some really wonderful scenes.
11:05 color
It's interesting how this question has split opinion. Form me, it's the mono shot.
How did you get the cameras to level for the picture of that building?
Sorry, I am not sure I understand the question. What building? Got a timestamp?
Right when you leave the scene, at 11:27, you got right there a beautiful photograph to be taken ;)
I guess you're right. I wasn't looking that way or concentrating on scenes. Sometimes you needs to switch between "Modes".
Are you sure you didn't use a macro lens to take the closeup pictures of the rope?
Enjoyed the video, Andy. I think I prefer the b&w version of the boat...but they are both nice. The water droplets on the netting made for some really cool photos. Glad you stopped. I also really liked all the different stairs shots. I wish we had that here but southern New Jersey is pretty flat. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video. Be well~

How to take a photo of a perfect circle? - Make sure you are square. ;)
Indeed. Perfection isn't always necessary though.
In almost all cases, including the boat, I prefer the color images. IMO there is too much hype about B&W images.
I think the use of the word "hype" shows a dislike of B&W images. It's not hype, it's artistic interpretation. If you take away the colour information, you are left with an image that demands that your brain does a bit more work.

The tripod is the least of the weight. The backpack is about 35kg as I always take virtually everything everywhere. I just sound knackered....
