Today’s video location What3words imparting.quietly.passion
Sometimes you have to visit a location over and over until you get a shot that you are happy with. And I still don't have a shot of Arundel Castle that I am happy with. Today is a revisit to see if I can capture something from my portfolio.
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
Microphones - DJI Wireless Mic, Rode Wireless Go, Rode Lav Go, Rode Video Pro+, Rode Video Micro

6:31 nailed it. Glad you kept that red boat.

@louisewelcomephotography 14 дней назад

Not gonna lie, I was rooting for future Ben. I annoyed this Ben and having been out with you on so many mornings, I utterly admire your dedication 👍

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

Future Ben didn’t deliver this time did he?!? If only RU-vid allowed you to insert a video clip a year later….you up for a revisit here some time?

That’s the spirit!

@aes53 15 дней назад

This has always been one of my favorites of locations.The line of white boats across strung out horizontally across the middle, has always appealed to me. I'm happy to have you return there often, I don't get tired of it (though, come to think of it, can anyone ever tire of the West Pier, I think not). 😄

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

It’s a beautiful location isn’t it, and I am definitely not bored of it, more frustrated that it keeps pulling me back there and I leave with average results. Haha.

@greglarUK 15 дней назад

I know exactly where you are at, I too have a local "to do" list, being honest, it keeps me motivated and inspired! I do enjoy your videos Ben, thank you so much for sharing 😊

@scotty4418 14 дней назад

totally agree with your sentiment Ben, why not go back again and again as it's the thrill of the chase that keeps us going. Also being out is what it also all about and enjoying the time out from the norm.

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

I used to be all about getting the images, i would be disappointed if I didn’t go home with some keepers - but it actually make it more rewarding the harder an image is to capture. If you ever get the image that is….I will keep returning.

Fantastic Myself and some fellow Tonbridge camera club members spent the day at the castle on Saturday We were wondering where this location was To get an amazing sky over it would be incredible Same old same old, never happens when you travel at these locations The frustration in photography

@johnvijaycruz 15 дней назад

Thank you Ben. will add this location to the To list.

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

Ideally head there at sunrise (as traffic is challenging there during weekdays and rush hour), and coincide that with mist and a high enough tide. Not too much to ask!

@CarmaComa 12 дней назад

Nice one Ben, love the enthusiasm as always :) Keep going mate, I think the Duke of Norfolk would be happy too. I got a bit distracted by the rising mist and silhouettes into the sun at 6:01, for an alternative shot haha. Great humour too. All the best 👍

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

Thanks Phil, annoyingly the only mist was behind the camera as you say!!! Do you think anyone noticed that I filmed the video in wide angle anamorphic?!?

@vrilcraft 15 дней назад

Ben if its blazing sun would love to see a Infrared of that image .. best wishes bud

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

That is a great shout! I am actually passing there today. If I get something I will share on social media. Thanks!

@JakubGolis 14 дней назад

Ah, that's a beautiful place! I've tried a similar thing there but didn't get any interesting clouds or mist which I was hoping for. Great idea with the long exposure, it added a lot to the photo.

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

Thanks Jakub, I am not sure how far you have to travel to get there, and I am complaining about a half hour drive (in good traffic) but I am lucky to have this close enough to return to. I will keep trying!

@brianmckeever5280 15 дней назад

It will be interesting to see the image you ultimately end up putting into the portfolio. Future Ben will figure it out, pretty sure of that. Happy trails.

@brianmckeever5280 15 дней назад

Oh yeah, I'm quite the fan of the one with the grass in the foreground. I liked some of last year's too. That's why I'm looking forward to your choice.

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

The future Ben has a lot to live up to! I will see what I/he can do :-)

@paultrunfull3324 15 дней назад

Hehe been there a few times and I'm still waiting and wanting that image !

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

Take a ticket and get in the queue Paul! Haha

@johnhaynes9910 15 дней назад

'Revisiting' is not madness, I always consider it essential if only because it is the only way to understand the best spot to shoot from, time of day and exposure settings, this is even true of shooting wildlife :)

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

The title was inspired by a saying “the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” and I just keep returning and putting my tripod in the same spot and I keep getting average results. I am blaming the weather prediction, as that is the easiest thing to do, but maybe I should just adapt to the conditions rather than force the ‘postcard’ composition that I am going for.

@joelbarto1103 14 дней назад

My awkward conversation usually goes something like: her: did you get some good photos? me: some were ok. her: What? that looks awesome! me: It's not exactly what I was hoping for... Are we too hard on our selves? Some times. Temperance. I know that when I do get the shot, the questions of whether I did or didn't cease to exits.

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

That is very true Joel, I know I am always comparing myself to other photographers and of course I know that I am only seeing there best work; few share their fails. It was much easier before social media as I wouldn’t have seen an awesome aerial image of Arundel with mist coming off the river, now there are loads of incredible images to see and compare.

@johnjoannou372 15 дней назад

Hi Ben, I understand where you're coming from, and yes, I have returned to the same locations trying to get something better /different without any real noticeable change or what I had in mind. Just out of curiosity have you taken any shots using the drone? I wonder how a different angle/ perspective would look? As always, happy shooting and best wishes, John. ;)

@benharveyphotography 10 дней назад

Hi John, this is my second video at this location, the first time I captured some drone footage but the weather was overcast and it really did lack interest. I have seen some incredible drone images of the location, with an awesome sunrise and mist rolling in. I think this location is just going to be one of those lucky situations when i get the right conditions.
