I'm on a quest to shoot urban abstracts, linked with a theme to create some hopefully, very creative results.

What a treasure trove of abstracts that National Theater is!

@lindsaysealey8257 7 лет назад

Brilliant inspiring video. I can't believe this channel has only got 10k subcribers. Definetely the best photography vlogger on RU-vid.

@john-okc450 7 лет назад

I agree 1000%.

@justletmesigninokthx 7 лет назад

yep ! so many quality pics

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thank you Lindsay. Let's hope RU-vid reads your comments and recommends me more!

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thanks James

@geraldmcdowell4890 7 лет назад

I tell everybody that will listen and know 3 that watch. Great stuff Craig looking follow to the next video.

@kenny75photography2 6 лет назад

The great thing about your videos, Craig is you get quality and quantity in your images. I was a real saddo and counted 63 images in this video alone when with some RU-vidrs you are lucky if you get more than two!

@dtravisphd 6 лет назад

Your eye for graphic compositions is outstanding. You're the Bryan Peterson of British photography!

@robcoates4394 4 года назад

My second viewing and it's just as inspiring as the first. I enjoy your video almost as much as your photographs. What a treasure trove for the photographer that National Theatre is. Regarding the curved work, 6:04 gets my vote. Cheers from DownUnder.

@philsimpson2854 6 лет назад

Brilliant video, I live in London and have walked round the south bank many times overwhelmed by what to photograph. A big help. Many thanks

@DickyTracy 7 лет назад

6:02 - Curves right there!

@VedranG 7 лет назад

Another fabulous vlog Craig. Thankyou for being so inspiring and showing how to see...

@alanbrunelle1546 7 лет назад

Fantastic video - you have a tremendous eye for composition. Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas with us all.

@MrPercy1001 7 лет назад

Going out to capture images with subjects in mind is great. You've done a grand job covering tonnes of abstract shots that are always there, we just often don't see them. Great mix of photos and video. 👍

@DanMehlig 7 лет назад

Loving the production value you're putting into these new videos!

@johnbianchi6430 7 лет назад

Excellent! A great idea brilliantly executed.

@Luigi13 5 лет назад

The photographs are inspiring and very well done but the video is very entertaining and funny at the same time, great one here.

@garypentecost833 7 лет назад

Simply brilliant Craig inspirational 😎

@alexreay4164 7 лет назад

Just fantastic. You make it look so easy. As I was watching I thought to myself this guy could make a great photo out of a plain old kerb.... guess what... 30 seconds later at 5:40 you did LOL

@darrenprobert2314 7 лет назад

Great video and curves, very inspirational and eye opening. Thanks for posting

@RedSnapper205 7 лет назад

Great video, super inspiring. I actually went straight out after finishing watching to shoot. Cheers.

@mendesvideo 7 лет назад

Another great video. I think I'm gonna have a go at this theme as well. Thanks for the inspiration.

@megabusa 7 лет назад

Outstanding shots ! Thank you for sharing !

@18Balthasar 7 лет назад

Restricting yourself sometimes leads to the best results! One of the most inspiring photography videos I've seen. Love the urban topic. Keep up the great work!

@mandrakedas 7 лет назад

Always love your videos. You show how to bring the unusual out of the usual we walk past every day (with a touch of humour)

@biffyeager611 7 лет назад

I truly love the way you think! The exercises you put yourself through really help create a mental challenge in everything you shoot! I am trying to emulate your process! Thanks

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Cheers Biff

@erichstocker4173 6 лет назад

Loved it. I wish I had your eye to find those images in the city. Thanks!

@johndurrant9929 7 лет назад

Hi there. Recently I have been getting into landscape photography, and thus watching quite the number of you-tube videos. You are a great all around photographer, and I appreciate that you just keep shooting when it is not the best of weather, and hopefully I am picking up a number of good tips. So thanks a bunch for your excellent videos. Your witty, somewhat dry sense of humour is good too. love the fake drone clip. Ha. You number 3 on my list to watch. Simon Baxter first.... then Thomas Heaton, and well, YOU. That is not meant as an insult. Two thumbs up.

@kristofbarta2964 7 лет назад

The wet/dry concrete wall had lovely curves. Cool vid, thank.

@allandavies1187 7 лет назад

Fantastic compositions Craig, looks like you had fun and were enjoying yourself. So many.... compositions and fabby ideas...

@shahidkhanstockvideos 7 лет назад

I really like your videos, informative and well put together.

@NicholasEJones 7 лет назад

Great Vlog and inspiartional images, need to do this more, also nice curve on the top of the escalator ;)

@wowJhil 7 лет назад

Even places seemingly without interest can become a good photo, good job!

@eltinjones4542 7 лет назад

You never disappoint Craig - well done

@simonmerriman2557 7 лет назад

Yet another brilliant vlog! Really inspires me each one that I watch.

@eltinjones4542 7 лет назад

Of all the Photographers that I follow on RU-vid, you are the most versatile. Cityscapes, portraits, street photography and your landscapes aren't bad either. Is there nothing you can't do? You have encouraged me to make more use of my GX7 - if only I could sit down and edit my 'Masterpieces' more frequently 😂 I even have a fisheye 7.5 Samyang 😱. Anyhow keep up the good work and enjoyable and informative Vlogs. Cheers E.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

I'm sure there is lots i can't do, but thank you for appreciating the diversity Eltin.

@qnetx 7 лет назад

Outstanding! Some of the best imagery I have seen. Thank you for being so inspiring!

@cillyede 7 лет назад

Great video as always, thanks! Hubert

@philiphyndman3583 7 лет назад

@draxe9121 7 лет назад

Well done Craig. Very inspiring.

@saaj1 7 лет назад

I like everything about this brilliantly paced video- great compositions well presented. It was really a pleasure to watch, thanks a lot.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thank you Saaj

@synriser6742 7 лет назад

Fantastic! Great images. You inspire me to do something similar.

@DNBaccount 7 лет назад

Your video work is getting better by the video! Keep it up, always awesome educational tips.

@NasCostomano 7 лет назад

thank you! I see these places and nearby almost every day and was feeling that thing of wondering if I could or even should take any more photos. realise now (though they won't be as good as these) I can. love these vids...

@maggyfish 7 лет назад

Outstanding photography with a lol moment in the middle made to look so simple but clearly isn't bravo 👏

@collierll 7 лет назад

Just fantastic!

@jeffogden6060 6 лет назад

I know this vlog is 9 months old, but I just now watched it. I really appreciate the way you find interesting compositions in the most mundane environments. I don't get to Canary Wharf often, but will make a point of it again soon. I do know that it can be a ghost town on Sundays which allows for a bit more freedom for a wandering photographer (freedom from security guards at least). As I watched you walk up and down the stairs at the National Theater, it occurred to me that you show a great deal of faith in the general public by leaving your video camera unattended! I would not have been so trusting.

@e6Vlogs 6 лет назад

I like to challenge myself to see how far away I can leave the camera. I might get on a bus next time!

@daveyoung6240 7 лет назад

Wish I had seen this before I went off around a nearby town last night! Mainly shooting landscapes but see cityscapes as the next move but found it all a bit overwhelming as what to shoot. Picking a theme seems a really good approach so can see the gothic from the doric so to speak. Great video, thanks. PS like the curves you found on the way down the underground ;-)

@iansoutdoorsrecovery7971 7 лет назад

some amazing pictures I would have never thought of taking images like yours in a town thank you for sharing I'm definitely going to town and see what I can shoot . when it stops raining .

@mhsvz6735 5 лет назад

Most excellent!

@Schmitzchen 7 лет назад

Had so much fun watching this. Great editing, good choice of music and wonderful pictures. Thanks!

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thankyou. It would seem that both you and I have bad music taste however!

@Schmitzchen 7 лет назад

At least we're not alone with our bad taste.

@BartRos1980 7 лет назад

Nice Video. These are some great locations. Will add them to my list. Thank you.

@DaleDerhamSmith 7 лет назад

Just stumbled across this video and am loving it.

@jangould4321 7 лет назад

Thanks Craig. Truly inspirational, love all the shots especially that curved 'stone' wall. Trying to find part two now.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Available for e6 Subscribers Jan, see my website for details

@fragiskosm9778 7 лет назад

Very inspirational video and helpful!

@robcoates4394 7 лет назад

Just discovered your videos and I'm finding them inspirational. I'm very envious of you having London as a photographic playground. However, this video has inspired me to head into Perth and see what I can do! Regards, Rob Coates, Perth (West Oz)

@IwanDierckx 7 лет назад

Very inspirational. Thank you very much

@markdayphotography7948 7 лет назад

Briiliant video. Seems now I have no excuse for getting some great shots in my home town.

@justletmesigninokthx 6 лет назад

Amazing episode.

@GlenDomulevicz 7 лет назад

You were right, it was fun.

@chrishorner3954 7 лет назад

First rate: I always look forward to your vlogs. You should have 20k subscribers! At least!

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thanks Chris. You don't happen to know 10,000 people that like photography that you could share the video with?!

@cashino 7 лет назад

Great video :-)

@opwave79 7 лет назад

Brilliant video! Gets us thinking about how to look at things in a whole new perspective. Thank you for sharing :)

@peterigby4041 7 лет назад

Nice vid and a nice idea! I may just try this myself.

@TarrelScot 7 лет назад

One of your best yet IMHO! I'm inspired by the way you go out with a clear intent and really work an area or subject. I'm sure this is a big part in the success of your images, and something I can learn from, especially in an urban environment when the choice of what to shoot can be overwhelming. Quick question; when shooting your vlogs, do you have an assistant, or do the whole thing yourself?

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

All me Mark. Camera, sound, editing, hair, make up, catering, all me!

@My-Opinion-Doesnt-Matter 5 лет назад

9:30 made my day, big like ;)

@tilerman 7 лет назад

Hi Craig. I was on the Sth Bank last weekend and I took some great pics of the National Gallery. And I have just found this video of your visit. Fantastic images Craig, particularly 5.01. Perhaps you could do a video of your post production. Oh, by the way, love your music choices! Thanks.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Cheers Busyboy. You get two post-process vids as part of my e6 Subscription- urban shot and landscape shot.

@geoffmphotography9444 3 года назад

Very helpful

@runninblue9415 7 лет назад

hope you got permission in Canary Wharf, I got stopped six times in an hour. great video and pics as always 😁

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

I got stopped once about 5 years ago, whilst using a tripod. Had a chat with security and they let me carry on.

@timcomerford6979 7 лет назад

Incredibly Tedious music. Quite soporific!

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Maybe I chose it just to annoy some people. Job done!

@jonnysmyth1011 7 лет назад

Craig, love all the vlogs; stylish, great production values, so inspiring, and humourous. Simply the best out there imho. Thank you. Did you do the "places" theme blog?

@jonnysmyth1011 7 лет назад

... *theme vlog I meant

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Was: Photos Thankyou for your comments. Yes the 'place' vlog is available as part of my e6 Subscription (see my website).

@MiguelACoronaDM 7 лет назад

Thanks Craig. I always enjoy your "theme" videos and have tried to apply the strategy when planning my adventures. Fascinated to see how far you walk away from your camera when capturing videos - I''d be afraid of it getting swiped. Also, I noted the mix between color and b/w in this video - what criteria do you use to determine one way or the other? Appreciate the valuable content as always.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Some results just naturally suit a black and white conversion. They may lack any prominent colour, be more about shape and form where colour isn't a key element, or just be where colour is a distraction, rather than adding to the impact of the shot.

@MiguelACoronaDM 7 лет назад

I see. Thank you again and cheers to 100K subscribers - let's spread the word. ; )

@41stclair 3 года назад

6:00 thanks you!!!! well hello !!!!!

@markharris5771 7 лет назад

Now that's what I call inspirational, I need to do some projects like this. You got some great images, and with your usual gentle humour included it makes this video brilliant in its simplicity. Simple doesn't mean easy, and it's more than obvious the amount of shear hard work you put in to both making the video and finding the images. I also think it was very gallant of you not to show the lady in the bathroom.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thank you Mark

@edwinbruining222 7 лет назад

Hi Craig, Very inspirational video. I'm gonna try it myself next week. That shot at the theater with the zig-zag stairs, remind me of a Escher art piece. By the way.. I hope you didn't leave your vlog cam alone, running op and down all those stairs 😳

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Yes, it was left on its own. I like to see how far I can get away each time!

@edwinbruining222 7 лет назад

So, when we see No vlogs anymore for a longer time, I can assume that your vlog camera is gone and that's the moment you went to far😂. I hope not that this will happen Craig.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Edwin Bruining either that or someone else uploads a vlog on this channel, but it's not me presenting it!

@edwinbruining222 7 лет назад

No. The one and only finder of the Cam is presenting 😁 Than you can let him arrested easily.

@robinpunter4377 4 года назад

So, so inspirational! I was in this are a few weeks ago and missed most of you photographed. What is the building with the black and white curved flooring? Have you ever come close to losing you video camera when doing a "walk away" ? That one at the South Bank, down 2 flights of stairs was scary!!

@e6Vlogs 4 года назад

Thanks Robin. That building is secret information! You'd have to come on one of my workshops to find out!! And I like the challenge of seeing how far I can get from the video camera without it getting pinched!

@No2theBS 7 лет назад

Good video, camera settings with the pics would be nice.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Didn't think they were so necessary for this video Rob, but if you look I put them in for most of my other videos.

@wahabdilawar 7 лет назад

Brilliant video. Very relaxing and inspiring at the same time. While shooting such high contrast scenes...how do you meter? Which metering mode do you use? If you use spot metering then what do you expose for?

@No2theBS 7 лет назад

Agree settings would make the clip whole lot better

@kenny75photography2 7 лет назад

Great video again, Craig, love the Escher-esque pics and the underground shots and I actually quite like the first music track of the video. Just wanted to ask though, what camera do you use for your timelapse sequences?

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Thank you. Just my video camera (Canon G7X). Its video capture speeded up, not stills.

@geoffchalcraft9432 7 лет назад

I must admit, when you said you were going to Canary Wharf to take some pictures, I half expected some scenes of you having a contretemps with a security guard - as it's all "private" land and they can do what they want.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

You just have to know how to 'sweet talk' them!

@geoffchalcraft9432 7 лет назад

Oh! Did you need to? They're famously not keen on being in anybody's pictures or videos!

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Maybe I have the advantage and they're subscribers?!

@mje1625 7 лет назад

Love your video! Love your photographs! Love the theme! But any chance of changing the music? By the way, I think you missed a wonderful "curves" opportunity with the young lady who got on the escalator just before you!

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

I take my music choice very seriously and change it to suit the location and context of the video. Unfortuately, music is subjective and I'm never going to please everyone with my choice. I don't know what music you like, but if I changed it to suit you, someone else might complain. I don't like the music some other RU-vidrs use, but I respect their choice that they felt it was right for their video. I'm into heavy metal, so be grateful I don't use some of this as the background music!

@mje1625 7 лет назад

Easy, easy, easy! Lighten up! Just havin' some fun. As I said earlier, love your videos and your photographs. Thanks for making them. You've definitely inspired me to approach my own work with a new, fresh perspective.

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

MJE Don't worry, i wasn't typing my reply to you through gritted teeth! Just addressing the several, re-occurring music choice complaints through your comment. Maybe i should be grateful that's the only thing people complain about!

@john-okc450 7 лет назад

I enjoy the music (not by itself), but It flows with the editing in a peaceful, non-boring, unique way. Don't change a thing.

@simonwalter7142 7 лет назад

Hi Craig, Did you use HDR bracketing for some of your shots in the first half of the film? Just wondering because some of them really pop

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Simon Walter No, never! Just tweaked results from the Olympus Raw files

@simonwalter7142 7 лет назад

Cheers! BTW, that finger-clicking trick looks dead useful

@kenny75photography2 7 лет назад

Keep meaning to ask, Craig, do you have to ask permission to shoot video or stills at train stations or the London underground?

@e6Vlogs 7 лет назад

Hi Kenny. Officially, I would say yes. But I never have and if you are just discreet and don't get in anyone's way, then you should have not problem. There were police and security watching me (or just walking by!) at Canary Wharf and neither seemed to mind I was taking pictures.

@kenny75photography2 7 лет назад

OK cheers for the reply, they tend to be quite strict about it where I am in Glasgow and generally need to ask permission.
