Hi Alan , I think you have a great format, photography and history go well together, I subscribe to loads of photography videos which I watch at ramdom, yours is the only channel where I actually look forward to the next video published, I don't mind indoors or outside, the variety of content keeps it fresh, when we are outdoors with you It feels like we are on a photo walk, on photo walks we take photos, chat about cameras, the weather, history and even photography.
Great stuff,
Take care, Alan.
Thanks for all your comments Steve, the consensus seems to be that the mix does appeal to people so there will be more of the same in the future.
What a cornucopia of photographic delights that place is. Lovely images, and a great documentary, many thanks.
Thank you Clare, great to hear from you all the way down there!
another fascinating chat Alan. you get the balance between history and photography absolutely spot on.
on that 1pm gun, I would imagine there are fastidiously kept records / logs of its operation going back many, many years, no doubt signed and then countersigned by a superintendent, and then further checked by someone!!
I remember when I worked in the Audit section of the old City Treasurer's Department in Swansea Council, back in the 1980s, finding old record books in our basement from the days when absolutely everything was journaled, etc. wonderful old stuff from stuffier times of the old clerk, and a succession of line managers!!
That's an interesting thought Nick, I guess the records are either up at the observatory still, or more likely stored away in the records department somewhere. I do wonder what happened to the 'operator' if he/she was late triggering the cannon!
Hi Alan. I agree with many others who have commented, you have a great format already. I am not into history so really watch your channel for your calm, relaxing videos. Just keep on doing what you are doing. No drama channels such as this are what we all need to relax to. All the best...Jim
Thank you so much for the encouraging words Jim, very much appreciated!
Great episode Alan, i love the mix of photography with history and the relaxed way you present your videos ,and love your photography,incidentally my father in law is from Birkenhead.
All I can say is thank you to everyone who seems to share your own point of view! There will be videos WITHOUT history from time to time and of course it's not really possible with 'reviews' anyway, but in the main I will just have to look for interesting places to take everyone!
Another very enjoyable video Alan, don’t stress over the channel's format, your combination of history and photography is absolutely perfect and the two definitely go hand in hand in my opinion. As far as the cannon at 1:00 PM goes, I don’t need one, because that’s exactly when my mother-in-law raids the liquor cabinet. By the way, great images. Be well.
I think the naval saying is "If the sun is over the yard-arm, then its time to break out the rum". Your mother-in-law sounds like she's got it right! Thank you as always Enrique.
@@photographyforenjoyment I always joke about her, she is a beautiful person (and doesn’t drink alcohol), she will be 102 in April.
Oh my! That is one long life she is having and tell her hello with lots of love from Liverpool 👏🏻
@@photographyforenjoyment Will do Alan, thank you.
Another interesting video. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t stress about whether or not you’re doing the “right” thing. Just enjoy it!
Thanks for the encouragement Andrew, it really helps to know I've got things right.
Thanks again Alan for such an interesting mix of photos and history. I personally would be sad not to be able to watch you weekly videos
No Bill, thank YOU for commenting and offering such positive thoughts. I certainly hope to keep entertaining you with similar content in the future.
Hi Alan.
Combining photography with local history is a good idea and if that is what you enjoy then stuff YT. The tragic story of the Resurgam brought back the plight of the submariners of the Kursk. I associate bellingham bags with press photographers and wonder of that is in your past, as a new viewer to your channel i don't know.
Thank you for the encouragement Colin! Possibly one of the few areas of photography that I was NOT involved in, is/was press work. I have been in photo-processing (Kodak trained) in both large scale labs and then minilabs; retail manager for a national group of camera shops; reprographics darkroom manager, geological core sample photographer for an international survey company; wedding/portrait photographer running my own high street studio; photography tutor at a vocational college and now just a retired guy still keen on the science/art/pastime/hobby/profession that was sparked all those years ago!
I started my photography 'journey' exactly where you were (back in 2015). I worked as a civil servant just off Hamilton Square and would walk round there in my lunch hour. At the time I used a Nikon D1x (doubt I could even carry that thing now, it was a heavy beast lol).
Small world sometimes Derek! Yes, my Canon 5D was bad enough, but not as heavy as the D1x.
I’ve just found your channel :) keep up the great videos!
Thank you so much for dropping by and subscribing! 👍
Well I KNOW that I replied already but it looks like the gremlins have deleted it again! Thank you for commenting and subscribing 👍
@@photographyforenjoyment UA-cam has a mind of its own 🤔😂
Videography over photography hasn’t ever happened to me. Seems like both are of the same importance. If I’m being honest, (in my opinion) your channel has changed from when I first started watching it. It’s more a history channel theses days, with photography tossed in here and there. I’m pretty sure the history you show and tell holds more interest to viewers on your side of The Big Pond than it does here, understandably so. 😎💜😎 Who is/was Heath Robinson? As a Navy Submarine Veteran, your piece regarding the sub was very interesting. 👍🏼👍🏼
I try to vary it TC. What I don't ever want to become is just another "Why you should buy this/use that camera" kind of channel. My aim is to get people out using their gear. Sure there has been lots of history lately but I always try to give hints on actual photography along the way; you have only to look back at my vintage lens video, or when I went to the boat museum with the Sony A7 to find actual photographic opinions and advice. Next week you will see me out at night with zero history!
