@@DanOpdal hi Dan, thanks for watching, subscribing & welcome! I’m aim to put out 1 new video a week on average (behind this week though!), predominantly locations will be local to me, but I have a couple of bases I can travel to and use when visiting family, so I’ll be doing local to them too. Primarily it will be Landscape videos, but I am thinking of mixing things up a little so expect to see other genres, plus, I’ll probably do some ‘Gear’ videos covering some of the equipment I’ve got and particularly like. Where are you based? Are you local to New Forest? How did you find my channel?
@@paulwbakerphotography thanks Paul, I managed to use my wife’s car that morning! My van is in the garage now, fingers crossed I’ll have her back soon and it won’t cost too much.
I also followed on from your comment on JayEmm's channel. Photography is my new hobby for 2025. I've gone down the M43 route. My other hobbies are all fitness or martial art related so hopefully I'll get to use a different part of my brain. Great images on a cold and frost morning.
@@MarkSolomonsSifu hi Mark, I feel bad about my post on JayEmm now, it wasn’t intended to attract people to my site, when I made my post, I was mid way through JayEmm’s video, and my observation was more that now I’ve started dabbling with UA-cam vids, I have a new found appreciation of those I’ve been following & watching for a while. His channel is great, he is such a natural in front of the camera. Now you here though, welcome, and thank you for taking a look at my vids. I started getting into Photography when I was around 15, I had a string of Olympus & Canon film SLR’s, then Canon DSLR’s from 2006. At the end of 2017 I picked up a Sony mirrorless and adapted my canon EF lenses to it, and other brands of lenses come to that. In the past 4 years I’ve added a Fujifilm GFX & a Leica M10-D, so I’m using a mix of cameras now. Currently I’ve been taking out both the GFX & a Sony body - the Sony is used for longer focal lengths (>200mm) & the Fujifilm GFX for shorter focal lengths (
@@TheLDunn1 No need to feel bad. There was something that appealed to me, so I subscribed. I have taken pictures but never given them much thought. I was given an Olympus Trip as a leaving present from an office in 1983. About 18 years ago I bought a Panasonic point and shoot. I've purchased an Olympus OM-D E M10 Mk2. It arrived yesterday so I'm about to set it up etc. I went with the kit lens to start as it will give me a feel as to how I take most of my photographs. I don't currently have a subject in mind, I'll see where it lays. I live in Danbury, Essex. There's woodland and a common on my doorstep, and an old church down the road. That's probably a good place to start to get used to things. The future is there to be grabbed. I did start a UA-cam channel, but there's too much politics and keyboard warriors in the world of Wing Chun Kung Fu! All the best for 2025 and beyond.
@ …..funny, back in 1996 I bought a house in Cock Clark’s, not far from Danbury! It was the ‘old post house’ opposite the horse & hounds pub and on the outside bend on Hackmans lane. The same year I bought it, I got a promotion at work which took me down to Southampton for what was envisaged as an 18 month stint on the south coast and I expected to move back to Essex for work, so during that time I was doing a weekly commute between the two locations. Due to other things in life, I ended up committing to staying a bit longer in Southampton and ended up selling my place in Essex and moving to Southampton in 2000, where I’ve ended up ever since. I used to drive through Danbury every Friday night and around 4am every Monday morning! I have a bit of a soft spot for Olympus, because it was the system which really got me into photography, and around 2008, I picked up an OM2n & OM4 very cheaply from eBay as a reminder of the cameras I’d used back in the 80’s. This then became the start of something of a collection of the old Olympus system. I now have examples of over 75% of the old OM prime lenses & well into the 90%’s of the old OM single digit film cameras. I adapt the old OM Zuiko lenses to my canon Eos, Sony & Fujifilm GFX systems, so don’t be too surprised if you see a future video where I am using these old OM lenses.
Brought here from you commenting on JayEmm's channel, following his advice (as best I can!) to support smaller channels... if ever you're down this way, I can recommend Dartmoor and the Tamar valley! Re your 'three trees' shot, it looked like the way you cropped it, you ended up cropping the top of the trees themselves - if you wanted a shot with no sky at all, I would have suggested your original vantage point would have been better.
@RichardHarrold1991 hi Richard, thanks for watching and commenting. I didn’t leave my comment on JayEmm’s channel with any thought or expectation of folk from there coming here, as it’s a totally different subject, I also posted my comment on his channel before I got to the end where he mentioned about supporting smaller channels…think if I’d got to the end and heard that, I probably would not have posted what I did. I totally agree with you re the 3 trees, I couldn’t see the fine tops of the trees from where I shot from, thought I’d got them below the horizon, and I really didn’t want to include the sky, I should have shot from where I was originally, or at least, between there and where I ended up shooting from. Re Dartmoor, I do intend to head down that way later in the year, there are some other locations I want to check out, so really appreciate the recommendation of the Tamar valley, I will research it and add it to my list 👍
Just found your channel and subscribed. You got some great shots. Thank you for sharing and taking me along. Cheers!

@ yeah, I know! I’m hoping mines going to come in significantly less, but, there is a small risk it could be a lot more.
