- Landscape Photography Tips as recommended by Google.
These days, when we want information, we often head to Google, so I thought I'd try it. Maybe I could learn something along the way.
Well, the sites it sent me to had lots to say, but was it good Landscape Photography advice? Were these Landscape Photography Tips any good?

My wife and I both like watching photography vlogs, both for getting to see places that we will never get to visit (anymore) and the photography tips. A common theme seems to be the conversation about relaxing and enjoying the experience of being out with your camera versus feeling pressure to perform, getting that portfolio-worthy image, or being everywhere all at once (FOMO). Very few seem to be able to listen to their own advice on this matter. They focus on the trees, and miss the forest. We 'discovered' your channel a few weeks ago, however, a breath of fresh air! We like it, a lot, and I've finally realized why: you seem to actually be able to enjoy the experience for it's own sake! I recognize the stress I put on myself when I go out to take photos, the pressure of 'I gotta get something good', and have been working on it. Some days, it is one step forward, two steps back. But now, you have become my role model, my template for how to enjoy the process more. I've already seen progress. ;-)
So, thanks, Andrew! Keep doing what you do! We appreciate it!
PS: the episode where you were in your local business park was very well done! Inspiring and informative! 👍
Hi Walt (and wife). Thank you so much for your kind comment (and Superthanks).
If you watch some of my older videos, you'll realise that I use photography to keep me sane (to a degree). I suffer with quite debilitating depression and without photography and to a large degree, this channel, I probably wouldn't be here. It gives me a purpose in life which has been ripped away from me elsewhere. Whilst I enjoy photography very much, leaving the house to perform it is still a struggle and is the opening topic of next week's video and very much the reason it's filmed further away from "home". You'll have to wait to see.
The channel makes me need to reinvent my work regularly as I don't want to be "just" a landscape photographer, or "just" an ICM photographer, or "just" a woodland photographer. I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER and I can only grow as a photographer by delving into different genres, trying different things and enjoying the process and I have to enjoy the process as I am often deflated by the results - again, partly discussed next week.
I want to keep my channel real, RAW if you like.
Thanks for the support. Reading comments like this can really lift my mood.
Andy
Depression is a bear, and our 'modern' society seems to be adept at hitting all of the triggers. We wish you well. Also, forgot to mention that another reason we like your vlog is seeing your excellent photography! ;-)@@AndyBanner
You're too kind
The shelter/pavilion is a really great image. Quite zen
Thanks, Frazer. I rather like it too.
Brilliant very helpful Andrew really look forward to your videos thank you
You're very welcome. Thanks for your support.
that shingle beach looks a gold mine for images Andy 🙂
At the right angles, I guess it is. I struggle with the visual "noise" of these places though. I have to work them really hard.
Great video, thanks for doing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello, Andrew.
What you say about the tripod is the truth.
I can't live without it, but that has several reasons as you know.
And macro photography the way I do it is not possible without a tripod, at least not by me.
I use a heavy Vanguard tripod but it is in a fixed place because I almost always photograph from the same position because I work with the subject for movement.
The photo of the pavilion is very beautiful, buddy.
Lines, structure, and shapes are important to me when I photograph outdoors. I will then specifically look for these things.
But I also closely watch the viewing lines with my tabletop photography. They should guide the viewer through the photo and create tranquility in the composition.
I agree with you about the negative space.
Negative space is only useful if it adds something to the whole and the story of the photo.
Regarding "one's own environment" it is completely true.
I am forced to look for it in my environment.
I did have to get used to that in the beginning.
I have a radius of 20 km to photograph, this is the range of my scoot mobile, so I have to find a composition within that.
That was difficult in the beginning. That was largely my fault because I limited myself to one part of the whole. For example, landscape photography, just to name a few. Then you'll be done quickly. But now I go for farms, things that stand on the farmyard, fields with plow lines, or high-voltage pylons on a line that disappears in the distance. As a result, the radius of 20 km has suddenly come to mean much more. I also have a few tree nurseries and flower shops where I can take photos inside. So I don't have to be bored.
Here's what I had to tell you about this video, buddy.
I've been missing Nicky for a while.
Isn't everything fine with her?
And you, how are you?
As for me, I have to go through the scan again the day after tomorrow for the spots on my lungs, so light a candle for me, buddy.
Everything else goes as usual here.
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Antoine.
I was particularly attracted by your beanie, and especially by the way it seemed to take on many different forms over the course of the video. At first glance, i thought you was wearing a trilby, guv, but t'ward the end, you looked like that bleeding Jamiroquai blighter. So taken in... i had to watch the video twice because that hat had me captivated first run through. Anyway... loved the somethings in the image of the pavilion - it all comes together with an appropriate sense of ease. Now, i've spent the last ten minutes staring out the window as dawn breaks, wondering what difference would be made to that image with the inclusion of a cat. You have a great day... i need to grab a camera and get outside. All the best from New Zealand.
Upstaged by an ill-fitting hat. Sounds like my life-story in six words.
Yeah, it's a bad fit - but I have a weird head (try living in it to see what I mean). It kind-a sits there like a black woolly souffle that's had the oven door opened too early. I really don't like it much but it's too late in the year to scrounge a decent one off of Vallerret and it was bloody cold up there that day.
Big cat? Black Cat? or just a cat?
@@AndyBanner I think a black cat could distract by its connotations, changing the whole demeanor of the image. Maybe an old ginger Tom that's spent its life eating fish-heads?
Thanks!
Thank you so much.
Stay local is what a lot of us have to do but it’s all good. I’m usually on Norfolk coast 2 or 3 times a year man. Generally Hemsby up to Hunstanton. 👍📸
Hemsby to Hunstanton - you're not missing much of the Norfolk Coast out of that range! :-)
