Today’s video location What3words elect.kilt.emporium
Today's video is about how I motivate myself to get out with my camera at every opportunity. I have some tried and tested methods to ensure that I never bail on a photoshoot, and share some tips and tricks to prepare for a photo shoot.
If you would like to see more of my work then check out my website:

The gear I use to make my content (although this is always changing!)
Sony A7iv + 20mm 1.8G - My main RU-vid camera for shooting out on location.
Canon EOS R8 + 16mm F2.8 + Zhuyin Crane M3 - I use this for a combination of stills and video B-roll
DJI Pocket 3 - Used for videos where I cover a lot of ground
Sony A7iii - this is my primary stills camera that works with native Sony lenses and all my Canon EF lenses on the Sigma MC-11 adaptor
Canon 5D3 - I use this camera when I use my EF glass and there is no benefit in adapting
DJI Mavic Pro 2 - My first drone, and I can’t see me replacing it. It’s amazing for both stills and video
Go Pro Hero 8 - for adverse weather conditions that my other cameras might not survive!
Insta360 - X3 & One inch edition - for 360 degree video and BTS content

I'm exhausted just listening to you describe your busy life ;-) The 800mm really provided some great opportunities. I love backlit images. Thanks!

I wish I could relax, but my brain won’t let me! Luckily I ‘found’ photography when I did, it certainly keeps me occupied!

Have. a similar ritual about getting out with the gear and likewise I do like to plan as much as I can. I have google maps populated with locations and notes and if I pick up any info from other posts or videos etc, I can add that in too and will write up some brief notes afterwards as its always handy to refer back if you are returning or if someone asks a question about it. The 800mm certainly made a difference Ben and hopefully your mother has awarded you a 1st place for at least one of those images 🙂

Cheers Jim, I assume that other photographers have a system, and when I see/here how others do it there are always a few nuggets of wisdom that you can borrow from one another. Having a long list of photography ideas, for all weather occasions, has always been good for my motivation. If its overcast I will shoot some macro, epic conditions go out and shoot landscapes etc. I am still waiting on the awards from my mum, but luckily the second visit yielded some better results!

Lovely video Ben, love your deer photos, I must say that I found your planning and strategy for removing all the excuses super helpful, as ever thank you mate 😊

@benharveyphotography Месяц назад

Thanks Greg, I hope that you found something that you can apply to your life/photography in the video. I am pretty happy with the deer photos, but it was my first time photographing them with a proper lens, a revisit is on the cards during rutting season.

@@benharveyphotography Nice one Ben, looking forward to that.

@robcoates4394 Месяц назад

Well, Ben, you and I have something in common. Not the amount and quality of camera gear one of us has; not the quality of the photos one of us produces; not even the RU-vid channel one of us has. It's the fact that getting out early in the morning (after preparing everything the night before) is definitely the best way to enjoy the hobby (or profession) of photography. Oh, actually there is another common thing - I was born in Sussex (East Wittering) before coming to Australia as a six-year-old in the mid Fifties. 🙂 Thanks and cheers from DownUnder 🦘

Thanks for leaving the comment Rob, and I hope that my videos of the local area bring back happy memories from your childhood. Adding to what you mentioned about sunrise, I rarely go out at sunset purely because of how much I have the place to myself! There is also a different quality of light at sunrise to sunset, the meteorologist say that the atmosphere is clearer because the cars haven’t filled up the air with smog in the morning.

Loved this video Ben and the shots/vid with the 800mm… boom 💥. Great to soo your story telling at the start. I need to learn from you 👌

@benharveyphotography Месяц назад

Nigel’s lens is certainly the right tool for it. Thanks for the loan, and sorry you didn’t get to use it on the day. A return for rutting season should be on the cards.

@victorcarmelo8606 Месяц назад

Beautiful images ben, again. Most impressed with your early morning adventures and as a night person myself, I hate early wake-up’s but wish i could get up early once in while for time spent like this. Thanks for sharing.

@benharveyphotography 29 дней назад

Thanks Victor, I used to be a night-person, especially when i was at university favouring to work late into the night and start late but I trained myself to have a regular sleeping pattern with an early start and now my body doesn’t think of it as early, its just the time that I wake up. Once you get on a regular schedule it is amazing how even the one hour clock change messes with your sleep pattern.

You Sir are a perfectionist and I loved the photos.

@benharveyphotography Месяц назад

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

@aes53 Месяц назад

Absolutely enjoyable video Ben. I just got back from Spain and am recovering from jet lag and watching your videos.

@benharveyphotography Месяц назад

Happy to help you through the jet lag! :-)

You may also like Knole Park, Sevenoaks for easy deer shots. I don't know what time the NT car park opens, but you can park on St. Julian Rd just after the gate which will probably allow you to walk around the park earlier.

@benharveyphotography Месяц назад

Thanks Richard, I have an architecture project in Tonbridge, I will check out the park next time I am there, Thanks for the tip.
