Hey thanks much appreciated! I've only been the one time and so was very lucky.. generally I think spring and autumn are your best bets.. October/November would most likely have the best chance of fog when not too windy.
Absolutely worth doing what you're doing. Great shots. Just don't feel pressured to please an algorithm; keep yourself happy first and the subscribers will start to multiply.
The only way you learn is from your mistakes. You had a great idea by trying to capture the sun’s rays coming through the forest. The only problem was the conditions were never gonna let that happen for you, but you made the best of it! You continue on and march forward. I think the images you took looking straight towards the sun came out fantastic!
Very ethereal images, a Forest run and some time appreciating the nature around you........all whilst "running and gunning" for RU-vid! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful film, Max. The shots you took were mesmerising 😁 hope you get back the creative juices flowing and it’s fine to take a break, I do it all the time! All the best buddy.
Beautiful video, this is exactly what I needed to watch with a morning coffee :D it doesn't matter you don't have motivation lately, you can see you had a lot of motivation, travel, and photos from this video, and it's ok to take a break
Ohhh you just crossed 400 mark! Almost 500 now, keep it up buddy 😁 another enjoyable watch man. That is some solid camp! Quite enjoyed your minimalist-ish compositions with the tele.
Always worth chancing it during the winter, if there's a dry patch. Apart from dog walkers you get it pretty much to yourself, even on a tourist trail. Personally I'm not bothered about foreground. I think the most successful landscape photo's attempt simplicity and try to avoid one of the three: foreground, middle distance or background. Most difficult to miss out the middle distance, but it is possible if you use the lay of the land or get your camera down low.
Hi Iain, I generally agree though must say down by the coast is probably my favourite time to include a nice foreground.. though as always you shoot what you see!
Nice one.. alwasy the case when you least expect the sunsets to happen like that - but a brucy bonus on a camp night for sure. I saw that Church on someone's vlog a little while ago so know the area you are in. What tent have you got Max, looks to be some nice headroom - I can't stand low down coffin like ones , used to have a wild country zephros 2 and it was too claustraphobic for my likening. atb Al
Hi Al! Yeah always a nice touch when you get a break of light! The tent is a naturehike mongar 2 (can get on Amazon), it's basically a total rip off of the MSR Hubba Hubba for a quarter of the price. The design is great, lots of space and the weight is very good. My one is pretty wrecked now, it's definitely not a tent you want in moderate to high winds (couple nights at 40mph + have completely warped the frame in almost every place), so would recommend more as a fair weather tent for sure. They do another called the cloud peak which is meant to be more solid... I wouldn't be surprised if they all come out of the same factory as the MSR ones to be honest
@@maxtakesphotos I thought it was a naturehike because of the colour, I have the Star River 2 which is a copy of a Big Agnes tent - does me fine as I love lots of room. I wouldn't take it up a mountain though unless it was a still night.Have thought about getting a Cloud Peak as they are meant to be sturdier. I don't do enough camping to spend big money on a tent - I need a lighter sleeping bag these days too - my Alpkit Sky high 900 weighs a tonne and my lightweight bag has been pinched by my lad.
@@maxtakesphotos Yeah they closed it in either 2020 or 2021 due to the amount of visitors who didn't respect the place. You might have been lucky due to the time you were there.
Technically you're right with ISO (International Standards Organisation) but as it really is a misnomer with digital, it harks back to film sensitivity, as there is no international standard of 'gain' in sensors from one manufacturer to another its a pointless bit of info. Canon's iso 400 is not the same from one Canon make of digital sensor to another, let alone to Sony or Fuji etc. (of course you know that the sensor doesn't get more 'sensitive' the more you up the iso, its really the same as upping the gamma on your monitor). The mist/fog thing had been frustrating me for years, every time you walk towards it it dissipates; until somebody pointed out it works exactly the same as heat haze or atmospheric recession. The more distance between you and the visual horizon the more atmosphere there is to be distorted by conditions. Blindingly obvious but until last month I just kept walking towards that darned elusive Scotch Mist. You do incredibly well just making as many vlogs as you do. I know a lot of people have nearly given up completely due to workload. I hope its not interfering with your career prospects.
Thanks Iain! Very interesting.. and something I didn't know, thanks for the info! Haha yes with the mist and fog, I think that's why quite.often a long lens is the way to go. Although saying that this morning was incredibly dense fog but unfortunately work took precedence this time!
Great video. Sometimes, I’ve found external stuff has an impact on how I feel about my photography even if we don’t notice it at the time. I’ve just a recent burst of inspiration and motivation, after a long lull. I absolutely love and admire your videography and photography skills as well as you as a person.
Really enjoy your style Max 😁 awesome shots as usual, is New Forest your favorite location to shoot around? 😂 but those ice formations are something else.
@@CluelessRU-vidr Haha yeah mate, caught me off guard completely - didn't make the most of it but can't win them all. I live in the New Forest national park so do most of my photography there, during the week I don't have any other option.. I do love it though, need to start heading a bit further afield on the weekends soon!
Great video Max, what an amazing few captures you took in that lovely morning! I really can't pick a favourite although the ice patterns are particularly nice, I hope you made it back in time for work 😂!
Thanks Kevin - much appreciated! Little late, but I'm lucky that I can make up the time, so long as no calls/ urgent work in the AM I'm usually good :)
