I pressed play and looked away only to look back as soon at that music started - then read the notes. 🤣 Another place that I've not been with a camera but walked that way many years ago. I recall that it's a bit of a slog up to Dale Head but a great walk and then on along Hindscarth Edge. Love that first image with the warm light in the foreground and the variations of light in the clouds. Of course, the others were good too. Thanks for the upload.
I actually liked the wildly inappropriate music, obviously why i struggle on this platform. Really nice first image with the rocks in the foreground and equally stunning images after that, the light really good on the last couple. Really enjoyable watch , lovely scenery well captured as always mate. Hope your well, take care !
Thanks mate I like the music too though it probably doesn’t match well with the gentle Lake District landscape and greenery 🤣 but then I also absolutely hate the music folk put alongside ‘normal’ landscape videos so it’s a pickle lol though also, I don’t give a f*** 🤣
Last visit I made to Dalehead was a cracker; bus to Honister Mine, the lung buster, as you rightly describe it, then along the ridge to High Spy, Maiden Moor and down over Cat Bells, then ferry back to Keswick and a pint in the Lake Road Inn. Photos were rubbish, but the walk was a belter. Your faith in the forecast certainly paid off with that one. Cracking images and, as always, many thanks for sharing.
Great music at the start! Nice to shake it up a bit and it matches the awesome scenery! I've found that listening to music that is new to me can help inspire new creativity in my photography; and this is good inspiration to get back over to the lakes. Oh and the final images were lovely too!
Lovely video bud. Just how I like them. In my opinion there is no reason why more rock based music can’t be in vlogs!!🤘🏻If people watched these types of vids they will get the ‘top tips’ eg river placed between rocks, shooting wide with a view to crop etc , it just doesn’t need to be announced in the title wording!! Superb shots in the final selection.
Just found your channel through a post on Threads… I know you were frustrated that this video was being seen less then talking head videos… but I’ve loved it. Lots of inspiration for my own channel! New sub.
Just catching up with YT after being away at RIAT last weekend, then not being particularly well for a couple of days. Watching your video has perked me right up, lovely images and a good rendition of the effort that has to be put into getting a decent capture. Loved the music at the beginning too, it suited the atmosphere 😁
Hi Stuart, another grand day out, thanks for sharing. so to say you're not such a fan of the "piece to camera" it surely doesn't detract from the photography! I was going to day sublime, but I see someone else has used that term already, so let's just say if I ever get any image of mine anywhere near as good as those, the photographer inside me will leave this world a happy man!
Hi Steve thanks for watching - it certainly can detract, evenings like this one you can dodge a few bullets and get what you’re after but in the long run I end up missing stuff that I wouldn’t normally. My images will usually always be of a high standard because it’s my job but the videos do compromise the ability to do that at times.
The second image you put up at the end of the video is my favourite, in fact, I wish you'd spent more time on that kind of scene than the one with the rocks (which is also lovely)
Great to finally get to call in at the gallery the other weekend Stuart and another enjoyable video with beautiful images - on the music front , not sure if use Epidemic Sound , but they’ve introduced a new feature called soundmatch - just play the selected footage and the AI suggests suitable tracks for you ! I’ve used it a few times now and it works a treat!
Nice to see you mate , the music: problem is I hate all landscape music in videos, it’s this generic soft/ethereal nonsense that I’d never ever listen to other than when making a video 🤣
Magnificent shot and vista. Your eye is just guided thro the whole interesting image so well. Like the documentary style of "trials of a landscape photographer" as you anticipate how it may or may not come off as the evening unfolds which I find really engaging. Thanks very Stuart 😊
The last image for me is superb, a bit foreground heavy on the shot you was explaining but personal taste I guess. Great vlog....loved the inappropriate music haha
Well it certainly looked like it was well worth the effort. The conditions came good in the end. The image is superb. Is it one you've been wanting for the Gallery? Or was this just for your own personal gratification?
Wonderful talk through of what you go through to get an image and how you really put the effort into the composition something I will constantly not put enough effort with. Cracking image Stu and I paused the video when the shot finally appeared full screen just to marvel at it, well done. atb Al
Beautiful work Stuart. Two thoughts always come to mind when watching your videos such as this one. First are you hiking alone and second, how do you find your way back down in the dark?
Stunning views and images Stuart and often wondered why Nikon don't change the crop feature especially when other brands allow you to do it without losing the full megapixels
I never use in camera crops, so that doesn't bother me. Also, most of my landscapes don't fit standard shaped formats. If I crop, it's to fit the composition.
