Hi, my name is Craig Yates and I have had a passion for photography for many years. Started with various film cameras, my final film camera being a Mamiya 645 system, using a small home darkroom to process both colour and black and white prints. Then I embraced the digital revolution starting with a kodak DC series camera, then progressed to Nikon D70,D80,D700,D810 and currently the D850. For the past 12 years i have been doing stock photography and have had my pictures published around the world, magazines, newspapers, calendars and on TV. I currently have an ALAMY agency portfolio of 27k of images on sale. I have started this channel to share my photography adventures, take you OUT and ABOUT to places I visit and share the pictures I take, and maybe have a bit of fun on the way.
YOUR SURPRISE VIEW IN THE PEAK DISTRICT. #peakdistrictphotography #peakdistrict #heather #nikond850
I planned a trip to Surprise View in the Peak District to capture the start of the heather season. On arrival I had a very nice surprise as the light instantly kicked off with added rain. At least the midges took shelter. I continued to explore and capture the heather in all it's splendor. The light eventually came back out ramping up the gorgeous colors that the heather can produce. As well as stills with the Nikon D850 I also grab some stills with the drone capturing the landscape wearing it's awesome velvet jacket.

Great vlog Craig, love Surprise view. The comparison between your RAW files and end image are great, you are probably going to cost me £1800 and more to get this. Just a question, is it a Nikon F fit lens I don't want to swap out all of my lenses
Never liked Ring Flash but separate 2 ring flash( right - left ) with diffuser make a great result for macro
Hi DS. I will have a look at that. Thank you for watching.
Currently… 1. Padley Gorge 2. Goyt Valley 3. Macclesfield Forest Great Video ❤
Hi, Not been to 2 or 3 so they are added to our list. Thank you for watching.
Hi Craig I definitely need to go back to this location. I've only visited a couple of times, once in the snow when I slid about 50m down the side of one of the hills (can't remember which one) and there was loads of mist (too much) the other time for sunset but the light was terrible. I've seen some stunning images from the classic location. Regarding the No.1 Peak District location I'd say it needs to be somewhere that offers multiple compositions at all times of the year and in all weathers. Although not one location I love around Surprise View / Padley / Longshaw Estate and Big Moor (White Edge) You can access all these from one parking location so that's my No.1 (location) I'll be on Big Moor the 1st weekend in October for the Red Deer Rut. If you've never been I'd definitely recommend a visit. You will need the 100-400mm lens
Hi Paul, I am determined to get a cloud inversion sunrise this year. I know it will take a few attempts. I have also seen some stunning shots which challenges me to get my own. The walk up on Monday was relatively dry and easy. In the damp early morning autumn months it is not so easy to climb that hill. Big Moor Deer rut (not been there) sounds interesting. I will note that ,it could be up Eddies street as well. Agree with Padley, Surpise View, and Longshaw. Heather season is up next. Thank you for watching.
Another fantastic video :) And the photos certainly look epic in Black and White :)
Cheers Lee thank you for watching.
You described my current dilemma. I have a D500 which I truly enjoy. I want to justify moving to the D850 but I’m struggling. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Gene. First you need to ask yourself what more do you want from your photography? and what subjects do you photograph? D500 DX format 20.9 MP sensor to the D850 FX format 45.7 MP sensor will give you a leap in image quality. However the D850 will produce larger files for your computer to deal with. To get comparable image quality to the D850 in Mirrorless you would need to look at the Z7ii or the Z8. The D850 is at a very competitive price at the moment. Second hand FX lenses are also plentiful. Having said all that I will direct you back to the first line and ask yourself that question and work from there. The D850 is a very capable workhorse of a camera and has the ability to deliver stunningly detailed images. You are very welcome to reply with any further questions. Thank you for watching.
@@craig.yates_photography4907 Thanks, Craig for a timely reply. My interest in photography is from a hobbyist perspective (not professional). I go for walks and shoot BIF and other animals. I have recently become interested in macro photography which led to my interest in the D850 with it's in camera stacking feature (not in the D500). I rented a D850 for a week and enjoyed using it. My PC handles the files just fine. However, I don't have a 4K monitor so most of the pics I took with the D850 did not look noticeably different from those I took with the D500. I tend to do a lot of cropping so the D850 should provide more pixels to work with. I only print what I believe to be exceptional pictures -- meaning not many :) I would likely not keep my D500 so my investment in a D850 could be manageable. Again, I appreciate your comments and advice. Regards, Gene
I hate when people litter.I have a Nat Park about 8 miles from my house & it sits at the entrance to NY Harbor/ & Sandy Hook Bay. Tons of garbage wash up on the bayside shore. Probably swept into the water by wind plus currents & tides. Also, some people just leave it there because it is a carry in, carry out policy at the park & they don't want to put their days trash in their new vehicles. Really pisses me off. Anyway, some nice photos. I use the Nikon D810 & the MC 105G lens. Sometimes I think about getting a wider macro or extension tubes for the 105 plus a macro rail. You should get that cracked viewfinder replaced. Happy shooting.
Hi Thomas, Littering is just not acceptable. As I walk through the countryside I see a growing number of dog poo bags just left on the side of footpaths. Do people think that these will get collected. Strange that people can make the effort the pack up the poo into bags, tie them up, but cannot quite manage to dispose of them into the correct bin. It makes my blood boil. Thank you for watching.
@@craig.yates_photography4907 See that at the park mentioned also. The path is a heavily used paved path maintained by park maintenance & thank you that it gets picked up. One thing is there is a steady support of volunteers who do cleanups & get rewarded with a lunch. They usually don’t do some of the heavier littered areas along the bay. Park picks where they go. Probably because of a heavy tick population & some really mean poison ivy in the park, the areas they pick are limited. Thanks for relying, happy shooting.
Hi Craig I also have a Ring Flash similar to yours and I've never actually used it out in the field mainly because as you said it's bulky etc. I have since bought an LCD panel (Neewer I think) very affordable and can be hand held or hot shoe mounted. I've not used this yet either but hoping to give it a try out in the field soon
Hi Paul, a portable panel will be the way to go. Using hand held will give the best creative control of the light. I will have a look at Neewer, there seem to be hundreds to choose from, fortunately the prices won't break the bank. Thank you for watching.
I had both those macro lenses. The 105, I still have, and it does a Stirling job, when I use it with my D800. It offers so much more flexibility . Interesting to see how you go with your test
Hi Paul, It's super sharp and the bokeh is nice and smooth as well. testing soon. Thank you for watching.
Ring flash seems to give a flat light , I had a blue Peter afternoon and cut up a pringle tube , a yogurt pot , hot glue gun , any old flash seems to fit up the end and hay presto , i have a handy macro flash set up . A bit of tin foil as a reflector if needed. Try it out doesn't cost anything, plus you can eat the pringles while you're at it 😂 Sour cream and onion are the best 😂
Hi Kevin, That sounds like a good idea. I'm a salt n vinegar man. I imagine that the set up would only last one shoot, which would require heavy consumption of Pringles in order to generate the Tubes. Which sound even better. 🤣 Thank you for watching.
It's great to see you in the woods with your express knob and trying out your ring. Good on yer mate.
Yeah Ring flash does sound like something quite painful. You cannot beat a good express knob Mr Skelson. 🤣🤣
😂
Hi Craig me again, I recently walked around an unpronounceable Welsh reservoir,6 and a half miles to be precise carrying my camera, a 10-20mm a 28-140mm and my 55-300mm and a tripod plus other camera gummings, and I didn't take my camera out once!!!!. However it as inspired me to return there for the autumn colours. The other benefit was doing almost 16,000 steps .🥵 Many thanks Steve H
Hi Steve. Wales is an area I need to spend some time in. I will also refrain from trying to pronounce the locations. I cannot wait for autumn, it will be round the corner very soon. Thank you for watching.
Morning Craig, as I explained in a recent vlog of yours I'm new to your channel and I'm working my way through your photography escapades, love the highland cows, there's some not to far away from me that I need to get over again, working your vlogs really inspires me so I thank you. Steve H
Hi Steve. I read an article recently that a woman walking in the Peak District suffered some serious injuries walking through a field of cows. When I return to photograph these amazing beasts. I will keep a firm distance with my 100-400mm lens. Thank you for watching.
Hello Craig, this is the first time I've seen any of your vlogs, no idea why it popped up but I'm glad it did, I'm going to watch your other episodes asap so I don't know if you in these you give more information of shutter speed exposure etc which as a novice I find very helpful. Also could you show the original and the edited versions of the photographs please. I have got the Affinity photo editing on my laptop but never used it, I try to keep my photos as seen but I also realise that to have jaw dropping images some "tweeking" is needed so any help on what you do with your images is highly appreciated. Right, I'm going to like and subscribe to your channel and look forward to catching up with the rest of your vlogs. Many thanks Steve H
Hi Steve and welcome to the channel. In some of my videos I do put the camera settings with each image. Then I stopped, as the light conditions can vary so much and possibly seeing them might be misleading. However I do listen to my audience, so I will introduce them back in withing the next video. original and edited versions would be simple to introduce as well. For jaw dropping images you very much need a good base composition to work with, including some great light that's fits the scene, which does not always come together for us. Sometimes a jaw dropping scene needs very little editing as nature can do all the work for you. I shoot in Raw and hand edit every image. Thank you for subscribing to the channel and for watching the video. Go out and enjoy your photography it can be so rewarding.
Some wonderful images there Craig !! 👍🏼
Hi DC74. With a little assistance from the Peak District light gods. Thank you for watching.
Really good vlog Craig,loved it. Not really explored Edale or Kinder yet,so you've inspired me to get up there. Someone once said 'its all about the light' and your shots proved that The 5 shots at the end are belters (no 3 is my favourite).
Hi Drew. It was my first visit to this area. There are many different paths to explore taking you up to Kinder. Edale is a great base camp to start your walks. I will be going back sooner than later. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful pictures!
Hi Amir. Thank you for watching.
Love Kinder on a changeable weather day. Made for some fab images there Craig. I walked the whole Pennine Way in 2021 and I’m doing so again this September! So many places along the way for some fab photography. It’s one big scouting mission though as there’s no time to stop to compose images. Only time to get the head down and cover the miles!
Hi Anthony. That is one hell of a walk. I cannot see myself and Eddie Skelson attempting that, hats off to you. Thank you for watching.
That looks like a location with loads of potential. I've been to Mam Tor many times but never visited Edale. Another location to add to the list. I love capturing dappled light on the hills and fells and you got a few great examples on your visit.
Hi Paul. I only scratched the surface in that location. The stone walls themselves have much more to give in foreground interest. I never got to see the view from the other side of the knoll, so lots of reasons for a few return visits. Thank you for watching.
Very nice video. You were rewarded for the effort on the climb with some great compositions .
Hi Dennis. It could have gone the other way, but the light gods were with me for a change. Thank you for watching.
Some cracking pictures there Craig. My experience there suggests that you might find the heather season is the best time for images, other than when the grips of Fog, Frost and Snow enter the valley. You certainly showed it well.
Hi Paul, I did not consider the cloaking of the heather. Cheers that's another vlog planned. I might have to do a health & safety audit for an ice and snow visit. Thank you for watching.
Another truly glorious video, and Edale is just something else :)
Hi Lee. Yes even without the layers of light it has a raw beauty, much more to explore me thinks. Thank you for watching.
Some really beautiful images in this Craig
Hi Dave. A lucky morning of conditions working in my favor, something we do not always get. Thank you for watching.
I was going to share this video with Dave one of my favourite videos of the year thank you 😊
@@peterrothwell4964 Hi Peter. It was my best morning out for landscape photography. Thank you for watching.
Great shots Craig. That changing weather is what we normally get here in Melbourne Australia. 4 season in one day! Wonderful light for landscapes.
Hi Barry. Here the weather sometimes hangs all day and does not change . This morning was a rare exception and very rewarding. Thank you for watching.
Really good video Craig. So many times the weather puts off a long journey and difficult walk for we “spring chickens”, but you showed just what can be achieved. Loved your images too. Superb and thanks.
Hi Trevor. I was relieved I made it to the top, good training for the Lake District in October. Thank you for watching.
Excellent video Craig. Love the dry stone wall shots around 19mins . I see why you were buzzing! Thanks.
Hi Fred. There is more potential with those dry stone walls which I will cover on my return. Thank you for watching.
Also Humberstone - which is a small village near here is called Humberstone becaue my Great Grandfather recovered ia large stone from from the Humber (annoying stone for small boats as slack tide) and places in the village now called Humberstone (its nest to the Chruch if anyone wants to see it!)
Hi I come from a few miles from this locationn 'Fitties' - Cleethorpes The Forts werre part of a defence systems to stop submarines entering the Humber. Between the coast and the Forts the water was too shallow for submarines to pass without having to surface and be seen and as a result attacked. Threre was an anti submarine net stretehed across beteen the two Forts at a depth that allowed normal surface boats to pass unhindered but any submarine would have to surface to get past and be attacked by being on the surface.
Great video! 🌟 Loved the tips on avoiding creative ruts and the challenges of shooting in tricky terrains. The Fine Art approach to the sand fort was inspiring! 📸
Hi Wendy, the terrain was indeed challenging and rewarding. Thank you for watching.
Nicely done , Mr H&S . Like the long lens of Spurn Head and the forts, and the last ones from the drone. Why not soften the horizon on the last mono, and you have another Fart, it would lend itself to it.
Hi Paul, I will have a look at another FART edit, they are very time consuming though I will need to develop some patience. Thank you for watching.
Great video Craig, nice to see somebody featuring this part of the country for a change. It might not have the hilly drama of the Lakes or the Peaks but it does have its own particular type of beauty. I think my favourites were also the drone stills. They really made the area look anything but ' flat and boring ' Cleethorpes. They could have been taken on the North African coast. Thanks again and keep up the great videos.
Cheers Chris, you are spot on, it does have it's own particular type of beauty and as well as the Peaks and the Lakes we should showcase the lesser known areas. I had a few nervous moments discovering the hidden mud under the sand, But I thoroughly enjoyed that mornings challenge. Thank you for watching.
Great video and fantastic light 🙂👍
Hi Stig. I am just loving the 100-400 lens. I must take time to keep my eyes looking at the wider views as well. Thank you for watching.

Hi Alan. He was well poorly, cough sweets for his throat and gobstoppers to calm the moaning. Thank you for watching.
A wonderful video :) But is Curbar Edge, as good as Alport Height - for that is the biggest question :)
Hmmmm they both have lots of potential but mother nature has scaled them accordingly. Alport Heights needs further scoping out. Thank you for watching.
On occasions you get the flash back of seeing Jack Lemon and Walter Mathieu talking fishing amongst other things. 😅 For a minute I thought I was seeing Fototripper with product placement for the book. Some interesting perspectives there. Thank you Craig
Hi Paul, That is a great observation, not sure who is who?. I am hoping to get a free signed copy of the book along with a print of my choice, and a unicorn sticker. Yes Photo tripper does come to mind. Thank you for watching.
Another great video . Marvellous pictures as usual. Also gave me a guilt trip as the be there or miss out type comment could have been aimed directly at me. I have to make the effort to get my arse of the sofa and do what you both are doing.
Hi Chris. We all fall into that club for sure. There has been many a time when I have woken up and not gone out, and then regretted it later. I have a 4am start Monday morning for a shoot on the North East Lincolnshire coast. That will surely be a battle to get up and out, but when I get there and crank up the camera it will be well worth it. Thank you for watching.,

Anyway, nice to see you were in my 'Neck of the Woods' (pun intended!) As I think I've already mentioned, I live about 20 mins from Sherwood Forest, and my brother lives practically IN Sherwood forest! 😄😄
Eyup Ash, You are right it happens all the time. I am thinking of getting a t-shirt saying "i am not a wildlife photographer" . You are lucky to live that close. I cannot wait to go back in autumn and explore the path I came across. Thank you for watching.
Some absolutely fantastic photos :) And a fab video as well.
Hi Lee. it's a location that can give a wide variety of subjects. Thank you for watching.
Nice nice and being able to remember there are many many ways to create an image was pleasing to hear ✌️🙏👊🙏✌️
Hi Gingerspoons. Thank you for watching.
Hi Craig I've never visited the forest but have marked up the layby Parking for future reference. It looks like a location with plenty of potential
Hi Paul. Further up the road is another roadside parking area with a path that takes you into Budby south forest. The potential is endless always something to catch your eyes. Thank you for watching.
For my use, the only advantage for the mirrorless Nikon system is the IBIS, which the D850 doesn't have. I certainly don't need all those frames per second and subject tracking. But on the D850, you can employ a lens that incorporates VR. I still have my D800E as a backup to my Fuji GFX 100S.
Hi Steve. IBIS would be useful but not a deal breaker for me. Thank you for watching.
You've got some really nice images here my friend. And here's to the 850.
Hi Thomas. Thank you the D850 has an awesome sensor. Thank you for watching.
Craig , I couldn't agree more. I am a 850 user as well. I don't see anything bettering it, so thanks I'll keep my 850 probably to the end.
Thomas ,so will I with the addition of a second body.
I am a D850 user and came to the same conclusion so I just purchased a second body on the last sale. You would have a hard time getting better image quality and at what cost. Nice pics.
Hi Dennis, I will be pushing the button on a second body in a couple of months. The D850 is my forever camera. I do not see anything coming along to top it's capabilities. Thank you for watching.
Thanks Craig. Adding to your comment about a sign, I’d like to add that a notice prominently displayed on their website would also help and cost even less. Nevertheless you took some good images. I had it on my radar for autumn but don’t want a wasted visit, so I’ll have to think again.
Hi Trevor. I was quite wound up by the time I had walked to the bottom and found that closed as well. Yes the website could easily have that nugget of information displayed, informing us how long the bridge replacements are going to take. I am hoping that by autumn the track is fully open with full access, allowing us to capture some epic autumnal waterfall scenes. Thank you for watching.
Hi Craig thankfully I have visited twice previously and got images of at least two of the bridges. As you mentioned, depending on the style of replacement bridges those images may not be able to be replicated. Looking forward to seeing the path open again ready for the Autumn
Hi Paul,.The workmen I spoke too seemed to think the work to replace the bridges would be completed within 2 weeks. There were also a few fallen trees blocking the path which also need to be cleared. I hope they do put photogenic bridges in so we can get some classic autumn images. Thank you for watching.
You should be happy with those results.
Hi Steve. Yes very happy, thank you for watching.
Amazing work my friend, nice vídeo and photos 👏👏
Hi Alan, Thank you for watching.
An awesome video my good man And very beautiful shots And I am glad that you helped that person out who bought that cannon camera and I do hope he or she gets good photos as well You and I are the same I too have helped people with new camera my cousin was one of them and he still has trouble with it and I try to help as much as I can then there's my nephew and a few others Keep up the good work there and beautiful photography
Hi cgriggsiv, I like to help and share knowledge to enable people to get the same enjoyment that I get from photography. Thank you for watching.
