One Wild Island, One Camera, One Lens

In this week's photography tutorial I take the Hasselblad 907X and a single 55mm lens to the wild island of Kerrera off the West coast of Scotland. I show how I find compositions and work with difficult conditions to take landscape and travel photos that I'm really pleased with.
I wrote a longer piece on CNET about why I love this camera so much, despite its various drawbacks, so if you're interested in reading that then here's the link: www.cnet.com/t...

You’ve created some truly gorgeous images, here. Love the sheep portrait!

[@tjskinny]

Thanks for sharing your trip! Very enjoyable and beautiful photos too.

[@TimvanderLeeuw]

I enjoyed that video! And I enjoyed seeing those rolling lush green landscapes!
Also, some pretty nice shots.

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thanks Tim, much appreciated!

30 secs into the video, I already couldn’t help but like the video.😮 Outright beautiful what you brought home. ❤

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thanks so much! That's really kind and I'm glad you liked it!

[@kenhenley7599]

Appreciation of an image is subjective. I liked them and would have been very happy had I taken them. Cheers.

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thanks Ken, that's very kind! I don't dislike any of them and I'm really pleased with the selection I came away with, despite the mixed conditions.

Lovely images! Good work for only a day and a half on the island. Man, I just love the 4:5 aspect ratio. The color and sharpness of the Hasselblad is pretty special too. Are you reviewing this camera or did you add a medium format to your arsenal?

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thanks so much! Sadly it was just on loan while I tested it for CNET and it's now gone back, never to be seen again! It's such a lovely camera though and I'd dearly love to have one. Bit too pricey for me I'm afraid!

Criminally underrated channel. Such fantastic pictures.

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

You're extremely kind!

Easily the best photography channel on RUclips that I know of. Ive struggled with reigniting my passion for photography, and tend to skip every photography related notification I get at the moment. Your channel is an exception, however. Always such laid back, no BS videos that make me remember why photography is so great. Cheers for the content

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thanks so much, Ben, that genuinely means a huge amount. It's such a huge amount of effort to produce videos for almost zero payoff and I often find my passion for it waning but I have to remember that I truly love photography in all its forms and I always hope that comes across.

[@bencoles2462]

@@AndrewLanxonPhotography it absolutely does. Hoping to see your channel grow much more!

[@scotskinner4350]

Walking around with just one prime lens and the camera is my favorite way to go out for a photo walk.

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

There's something so much more freeing about only thinking about the subjects, not thinking about what gear to use. Makes a big difference not being overburdened with stuff.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

very enjoyable
the light on the scene at 5:45 was just sublime 🙂

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thank you!

[@marcpellas2396]

You are doing a great job with that Hassy, if you haven't purshased it yet, i think you should. It suits you well and you are doing a great job with it.

[@youphototube]

You're a wizard, Andrew. I like the way you are not stuck in a box.
I would like to see you do a walk about with the Nikon Zf. It has a dedicated mono switch. I assume the photos will get imported in mono raw.

[@BadSloucher]

Hair looks great, what are you talking about

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

You're so kind to lie :)

[@peterfritzphoto]

Lovely, lovely!

[@andrewpitts6498]

Love your videos. Look forward to every one. 👌

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Thank you!

[@bertjeeninga36]

Great video and pictures

[@briantafelmeyer7337]

Andrew, do you not miss a view finder?

[@AndrewLanxonPhotography]

Sometimes. I’ve mostly got used to it simply because I shoot video of my process and that’s best if I can video the back of the camera so everyone can see my composition and settings. As a result, it’s just become the normal way of working for me. Similarly, my Sony RX1 that I use for a lot of street photography doesn’t even have a viewfinder, so I work much more in a ‘shoot from the hip’ fashion. I’m not saying it’s a better or worse way to work, it’s just what I’ve got used to.
