Landscape Photography - Shoot like an AMATEUR! 

As an amateur, I also believe your not sure what your doing but keep doing it! Brilliant video as always, loved the opening shot, as a pro you’d also be telling me to use squarespace… 😂

Amateur is not a word to describe you or your photography, but another word beginning with A does: and that is Artist. So interesting to see Blencathra, as it is not a fell I have climbed, but wish now that I had. Those days long gone, sadly. Always enjoy your outings in the Lake District as they bring back happy memories.

Those shots are soooo amateurish.... not! Ive learnt so much from you. Your use of light is a thing of beauty. Great video as always!

Love the humour James. A really enjoyable and refreshing video.

Haha, you’re so funny 😉 I love amateurs shooting for fun, that’s the spirit! Thanks for taking us with you and sharing your skills 🙏😊 Professionals always want something: selling their books, workshops, gear, sponsors, bla bla bla… 🤑

Cracking stuff again James, thanks !

This made me chuckle, I really enjoy your channel as a refuge from the 'shoot like this to be a pro' brigade of RU-vidrs - the superficial clickbait wears very thin, so someone doing something authentic and humorous with it is very welcome! Possibly my favourite selection of images from one of your videos too, love the mood in them! :)

Waiting for the burst of energy (light). Wonderful.

Verry good shoots- you Are like a Pro

Excellent video James. Love the Sharp Edge images, colour and b&w.

If ever a title made me chuckle it has to be this one 😂👍 Keep up the good work James👍

You can't kid us. Those shots are professional.

😂love it.Gorgeous day in the mountains. Loved the bw at 10.14

…a true gentleman amateur!

Great images James, love the B&W moody photos.

All good images James, wouldn’t have guessed you are an amateur. You keep me smiling😊

Some cracking images there Mr Burns. My favourite way up is Halls Fall , but I love the very professional images from Mungrisdale, where I cant say I have been before..

Great images in this video - thanks.

Brilliant intro and message. Lovely set of photos, particularly the B&W. Many of these so-called "Pros" are doing exactly what you're doing, I don't know if viewers understand this. They're making these videos and getting ad revenue from them. Except they're making more ad revenue than you are currently, so they don't need a full-time job, which in turn means they can state they are a "pro" channel. It's a lot of old bollocks, if you ask me. Many of them could learn a thing or two from watching your videos James. 👍

Not bad at all for an Amateur. It's been a few years since I last went along sharp edge, it must be polished to hell these days. It was fun but to short and I reckon you would have to book a place on striding edge these days. Keep shooting.

I'll be in the Lake District on the 22nd of May. Sadly only for one day. Maybe I can do one fell.

Heck, I don't need a video to tell me how to shoot like an amateur, but better watch it just in case

Nice shots u got there sir..sorry to ask is this in the uk? amateur vs pro is the debate that will be going on for centuries. But as a beginner and hobbyist i love all forms of the art...any more urban landscape photowalks coming up?cheers mate and happy Easter

Nice work James. I had no idea you were just an amateur.

Amateur doesn't mean beginner or inexperienced. The root of the word comes from the Latin 'amorem'. It literally means you do something for the love of it. Always be an amateur.

For a rank ammerchewer tha does alreet lad. Thanks.

Not bad for an amateur.

Amateur vs pro ... better experienced vs noob - Lesson 1 look out for hazards, eg bogs! Looks like you had a nice day for it. But you're no amateur - too much complaining about things not being right. And, oh yes, some lovely pics at the end. Could put a pro to shame

Not bad , pity your not a pro could a made a bob or two on that...😂

Beautiful ❤✌️🙏👊🙏✌️❤️ Respect to you James, i was a “pro - paid “ Photographer for over 20 years before having to look after my mother and now Iam just an amateur as well….lam sure my photography has suffered since becoming a full time career after being a full time working photographer as I’ve dropped down the ranks. U ⭐️ keep doing what your doing please as it’s honest NOT desperate… honest respect to you 🫣
