Landscape Photography - It's not about the gear 

1spitfirepilot very kind words, thanks

Cheers David. This is a very early video of mine. I think they're a little better these days. Who is that Heaton fella? 😁🤣 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM9bdAPs68M.html

Ian Brown - cheers Ian, go on get out there. Vlog it too. It's addictive. Not a lot of love for the music here. Some people just don't get the subjective bit.

Cheers Derek. That was an old video too :)

You're welcome although this is an old video now

And it's comments like this Robert that make all my hard work so worthwhile. Thank you 👍👍

Thank you

Hi Richard, I'm about to make another series on this topic too 👍🏻👍🏻

Momo .CatHead - thanks for the comments and I'm glad you feel a little inspired. Gary

Thank you Lorna. I was getting some guys looking down at me too when I was making the video. People just think photography is all about counting pixels. Stupid, just stupid! Glad you liked both videos. I made these when I first started vlogging. My newer ones are a little better put together, I think :)

williar1961 do they wave to other T5 drivers too? :)

Gary Gough yes the true VW drivers always wave. Mines for sale now if anyone wants to buy it.

Thank you Darren 👍

Hi Jim, it was one of my early vlogs, so the video isn't made with the best gear. I intend to do another series soon. Glad you liked it all the same, and cheers for sharing. Camera club? Check my Facebook page for an exciting announcement later this week you might find interesting.

Will do Gary.

Cheers Martin, very kind. It was one of my first videos. The equipment I was using to film and record the sound wasn't up to much. I'm probably going to make another series. Cheers 👍

It's an old video, but thanks William. 👍

Cheers Ian. Blimey, that’s an old video 😁

@@GaryGough Maybe so...but it's all still valid information !!

Hi Martin, I'm about to run another series based on the basics. Look out for it. Thanks for the great comments btw it's very much appreciated 👍

Satvinder singh - I'm hoping it will be. Thanks for taking time to comment too. Gary

Mahesan Selladurai I love the fact that you mention my van before gary’s presenting skills. Thank you.

We VW fanatics...... car above all!!!

John Bentley - hi John, sound issues all sorted. Nothing wrong with a meat pie as long as it's a Fray Bentos pie :)

Thank you Helen 👍👍

jimguitarfan nice comments, thanks

Glad you liked it Tyson and thank you 👍🏻

Román R.R. Hi, thanks. I'm making and posting another tomorrow. It's a great location too

lol Can't believe just how popular these damn VW vans are :)

It's the seaside law! ;)

Strange, just been watching one of your videos :) Street Photography guy? Yes it's so true. I'm about to make a more polished series too. I made this video to start my channel off and it's not very polished :) Bad video, bad mic etc etc

Gary Gough lol tell me about it , mine need more then a polish , mine need bloody sand blasting :) mic is definitely top of my list though .

lol you won't find a better mic than a Rode mic.

Hi Roland. I'm just post producing one as I type :)

Really look forward to seeing it Gary,,

Mark Harris this is great to hear, fun indeed :) I should be posting another vid tomorrow. Thanks for the nice comments. Gary

Gary Gough forgot to say I've subscribed, and the best chippy in that area is in Filey.

Couldn't agree more! Cheers Michael

Thank you Dean 👍

Tony Pickard if the said person was better looking he would of featured in the picture more ;)

So true. It's all about getting out there and learning you craft

Kamil Steczkiewicz - hi, I fully intend to make a post production video. Stay subscribed

Robert Keck - hi Robert, absolutely, go for it. Send me a link when you do. I'll move on to my pro gear next. Good luck

Shaun Hilton - thanks for the comments. episode 2 is better :)

Steve Baker my point exactly. Thanks taking time out to comment, always appreciated

You're welcome, cheers

Cheers Brian, thanks

lol He wishes he was :)

Willnot Betracked lol

David Found - I thought your comment was going down a different route to begin with, phew 😁😁 Thank you so much David. This is an old vide too. My latest videos are much better I think 😁 Thank you once again, very kind

Gary Gough. Hi Gary, your videos old or new, are so organic and earthy and really engage the viewer, me included. Today in fact, I was supposed to work on a video edit but got immersed in your Lake District shoot. Another wonderful area of the Uk, that has fond memories for me. Btw, have you been up to shoot at the west coast of Scotland? I spent many occasions up to my knees in deep snow and freezing water with my Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex shooting some of the most dramatic landscapes I have ever seen. I recommend areas such as around Helensburgh, Garelochhead and basically the whole west coast is magnificent. I am currently rebuilding my website and will have it back up running in mid Oct, so will send you a link to it when it's ready. I also teach photography and video production in Bangkok. Most recently at Stamford University. If you get chance to come to Thailand, I would love to meet you and perhaps get out to do some shooting together or even if you arrange a field trip for some photographers to visit Thailand would be great.

Really glad you enjoyed the video :)

Lee and I are off out tonight making another video. We've buddies for years :)

Or download an app :)

@@GaryGough that would work too if you want to work a week in advance, a physical tide table will give you the times for a whole year.

Cheers James, very kind 👍🏻 👍🏻

Elzbieta Arno - great comments and thanks for the sub. The sun sets in the west no matter where you live in the world, fact. It's such a great feeling when people from other countries watch and sub. A huge thanks :)

Andrew Beattie - Nice comments, cheers. We're currently using the DJI Phantom mk IV. Its Lee's and it's an awesome piece of kit

Hi John, this particular soundtrack came free from RU-vid. Just search for Royalty Free music. Thanks for nice compliments 👍

Hi Mike, yeah it was an early video. I think it's got a little better lately :)

Nnnuuk / hi and thanks for saying. I took a chance but it was one just like this... Ebay # 172828609740 Cheap but does a great job. Hope that helps. Gary

Thanks Gary, that wouldn't break the bank!

Marypotpot Noga - glad you liked the video. It's never easy editing boring grey sky's. there's no secret to it I'm afraid

Hi, so much to cover... In my later Vlogs I'm adding the exif data, and I'll do a follow up video covering my Photoshop workflow too so you'll be able to see exactly how I post process my pictures. Hope this helps.

Definitely superb! BTW a quick tip from me to you may be you can also roll a video from your dslr to show how you have framed and your opinion about how to capture the shot so that it makes us clearer to understand what you are thinking of...

Started doing it in my later vlogs. You're right :)

Michael O'Houlahan - Point taken. My aim is to change the music every video.

It's not just the music, but more the shocking volume of it after listening to your (soft) voice....

Totally agree re the music, which took away from an excellent video. We all have different tastes but generally you want something that stays in the background and compliments the subject. I subscribed for your pearls of wisdom though :-)

Helen Higgs thanks for subscribing. I hope my choice of music is better next time xx

Hi Gary, not complaining about the type of music but could you try to balance the volume with the rest of the video please. Just found your site, like it loads...............but don't like constantly having to turn down when the B Roll music kicks in.

What are you VW drivers like :) Cheers Ross

Thanks Ross. They are a great van.

No excuses now for taking bad pictures :) Cheers Philip

I struggled to be honest Jack. My fault entirely. :( Thank you for saying though

:) That's an old, old video of mine Martin :)

AirzoneUK - lol I can see it 😀

Definitely looks like you from the side lol ! still watching the rest of the vid!

lol I'll tell him Norman :)

The lens I used for this camera was much smaller than my normal ones so my filter holder didn't work.

Wayne Crofford - hi Wayne, sound issues now sorted. Cheers Gary

Thanks

Fair point :) 👍👍

yeah I know. My first vlog and video editing attempt. I'm on it now though :) Check out my latest one and let me know. Cheers

Already watched some later videos and they were fine. Thanks. Love your photos and your videos too. Very carefully edited, one can see the hand of a professional.

Derek Gordon - lol the sound issues are all sorted now btw. I liked the music too but clearly it wasn't everyone's taste :)

Hi, fair comment :)

hey, i like the music, has a nice vibe

totally agree.. it did my head in great pics and drone footage but leave it out on the volume.. had my finger over the mute button the whole way through only unclicking when i saw Gary talking to be fair manyMany youtubers are guilty of laying it on thick

I agree. Goofy music.

In fact I bailed after one minute. I will never under stand how audio can be awful but the background music just blares. I'd like to see a vid where you don't remember what the music was.

It's years old Mike. Probably one of my first vlogs. Try some of the newer ones please

@@GaryGough sorry Gary i didn't realise how far back i had gone! i have seen all the latest! every one got thumbs up

That's a very old video m8. We all watch him though, don't we? ;)

Wayne Crofford - your camera produces 18mp files which is excellent. These files can produce clean prints 30"x20" easily. Point taken re the volumes, my newer films address this. Thanks for taking time out to comment, always welcome. Gary

lol You forgot about the 20 £200 a pop LEE filters 🤣😂😊 Love the Donkey in the list btw 😁😁😁

Gary Gough o, sorry. I knew something was missing

or just tape a piece of a cotton swab over the microphone of the camera.

olzzn it's sorted now. It was the first time I used the camera for vlogging and didn't realise the mic was that bad. Sorted

It’s about 5 years old

Honesty is good. Thanks for saying 👍🏻

Gary , I love your work and very educational indeed, please drop music

SpinachBob noted, thanks for your feedback. Episode 2 uses a different tune. I intend to change it every time.

I made it thru to the end and the next one... loved the drone shots and you do make a good presenter so I look forward to more in this series... subscribed (PS I only later saw the other comments about the music, sorry!)
