You've no idea how much this video taught me in terms of composition and unique perception. Loved the idea of taking photos from a lower angle to remove the water and lagoon. Please make more similar videos James. Love your work.
Really enjoyed this. Enjoyed having you talk us through your rapid photography method. So different than the usual landscape vids that go on endlessly about a single shot. Did I just reveal my inability to have a long attention span? Looking forward to more like this.
James, I could listen to you all day. DON'T be put off by the comments on the last vlog. Do what YOU want to do. Just editing a few images and will have you there as background "noise". I've watched the Sri Lanka vlog at least a dozen times. Went there a number of years ago and visited most of the places you did. Thanks for all your work, really appreciate it.
“Tripod incident”... you tried to dispose of it, didn’t you? Another great video, I’m happy to watch either this week’s style or last weeks... but both really is best!
Absolutely loved it! It was great to see your thought-making process as it really helps to see how people like yourself view scenes and compositions. Keep up the great work 🤙
Enjoyed the POV and longer format and what great locations, neither of which I've yet to see covered in snow. I don't think I could ever get tired of visiting Vestrahorn. I can't quite believe what a flimsy little tripod you took though, that's definitely just a fair-weather tripod, and as you know fair weather in an Icelandic winter is the exception not the norm.
The gap in your legs was perfect when you walked 😂😂😂😂 love the videos James, nice to just watch what feel like relaxed, relatable non bias views on things. 👌🏼👌🏼 Get to Swansea for a photo walk 😜
Iceland is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I was so overwhelmed that I didn't even really care about photography. One thing that I loved about it, was the emptiness.
love that idea of first person landscape photography. Also cool to "hear your thoughts" and how you approach a scene. Very interesting and learned alot! Thanks mate!
Great video James, good to here you waffle for 20 minutes again!! Think the view at 18:05 looked great for a portrait style shot, with those black lines in the snow and the mountain in the back!!!
James, MFT is sorely under represented in the RUclips space. I’m not a format zealot, but I really enjoy my MFT cameras and I’m glad someone like you is sharing your adventures using the awesome G9. I will also mention I enjoyed your last video. Calm, serene, and adventure stoking. I enjoy the ones where you talk too about the process. I especially like the POV because no one shows it! I think there is room for both. Just my 2 pence/cents
Wau! Nice! Just nice to see how "sausages are really made" ;) this peeking behind the scene is very valuable and your comments just make it so interesting! Love your videos! Photos are super!
Great video James, very helpful to listen to your thought process before taking the shot and then seeing the finished image. It has given me plenty of ideas for my next photo walk. Thanks
Yeah man, really enjoyed this video. Granted I generally like all of your content, but you should just passively do this on all of your trips. It was really cool just seeing you do what you do and, sort of thinking out loud, and I love the images you were taking being slapped in the screen when you take them. Very nice. +1 vote for more.
James, i am impressed: a) you up in the morning b) rare but good use of filter and tripod, probably the only reason, beside night time, to use these c) these are probably the best pictures I have seen in a long time d) keep on talking, that's why I like your style
I was in Iceland in 2018 last 2 weeks of October. Landed in Reykjavik and got to Hofn. It was absolutely amazing. Now with your tips on composition and what to look for I’ll get better photos. Thanks for the great commentary.
Amazing video James, not as artsy as your previous no talking video, which was great by the way, what the heck I love what ever you do, your natural vocals are excellent, and your photos, well, they are superb, cheers James, more please.
James, thanks for waffling. I binge watch your videos like the latest hit TV show because you’re engaging. But I can appreciate and support you experimenting and branching out. At the end of the day, it’s your channel so go make the content that makes you happy.
"Get a move on" don't you mean, "get a mood on"? 😉 There were so many great photo opportunities that were shown on the way back that you didn't stop for, they were amazing. I wish you could have gotten a photo when the horse was looking at you.
Great scenery, great commentary of what you were doing. How you don’t have more subscribers I’ll never know. Have a good week as well, can’t wait for the upcoming series 👍🏻
Great video as always. Good explanations of what you're doing and why. I will forgive the lack of 🐑 since they don't tend to hang out on the snow by the sea, I don't suppose.
hilarious that there is a part where you are mid conversation (with us) but another photographer beside you thinks you are talking to them, but you are just mumbling to yourself (us 🤪) lol Great video mate
That trip to Antarctica looks amazing but out of my budget sadly. I wonder though, will you be leaving from Hobart in Tasmania? A day trip to Mt Wellington or somewhere similar as a photographic workshop would be cool :), for us Tasweigans.
Cool video! Nice use of Gopro, Definitely like this style of video, gives a different perspective. Good to listen to your methodology of how to set up a specific shot and the reasons to why you need/don't need filters etc. It would be cool to see in the future a mixture of this style of video along with your other styles! Keep up the good work.
Great video, I love seeing you in action and being able to hear your thoughts as you go about looking around and taking photos in these absolutely gorgeous places. Loved it so much I watched it twice and gave it three thumbs up, but sadly it only counted for one like... I'm sure you'll appreciate the effort 😉
Just makes me want to go out and shoot in the places you go sooo sooo bad. I can literally think of some compositions with the info I gathered from this video.
Super interesting. Do you always shoot from the back of the screen? Maybe I should try it rather than the viewfinder. I tend to take lots of photos from all over and need to spend more time on composition. Always learn from you. Thanks James!
@@JamesPopsysPhoto ah... that makes sense. Thanks! That shot of the Aurora is nothing less than spectacular. Will be getting a print of it if it's for sale.
Another belter... Running commentary is really informative.. Notice you mainly used live view when taking photographs.. is that better than using a viewfinder (you may not have one on your camera). Is it better to use live view to VF.? Also noticed you threw your camera around like a western gun slinger with a colt 45... What were you doing.. were in AV or what..? Be good to know how you flit between the settings..! Cheers mate...
I also only used my 10-stop filter once so far, and I've owned it for over a year now.. And the one time I used it, I also took the same shot without filter, and ended up liking the no filter version better.. 🙈😅 Love the pictures you took, it's so beautiful there! Would have loved to go to Antarctica, but sadly I can't afford it.. So unless I win the lottery.. 🙈 Will you be going to a part of Antarctica where you maybe can see arctic foxes? That would be so amazing, they're so cute 😍
Yeah...you are a great communicator and this style video is also just as great as your cinematic version.
Cheers mate! I'll aim for a mix of both in future :)
We love you brother. Talking or not.
Cheers mate :)
Loving the POV/Go-Pro insight. To get some peripheral views combined with your commentary is super-useful! 👍
Awesome to hear :)
OMG, he used a tripod! Is this the first sign of the coming apocalypse? ;-) Great video, right amount of mumbling about!
haha, first and last time...
Well that claim of an apocalypse didn't age well, did it? Lol
@@jace3132 ahahahaha

The POV videos are among my favorite. They really help me to get more ideas on how to shoot. Please keep it up, it is great to watch.
Awesome to hear :)
LOVED THIS! Great to see your methodology and shot setups, James! Keep it up...excellent vid! 👍🏻
Thanks - great to hear :)
I'm a bit late on watching this one, but love the running around shooting thing. Enjoyed it James.
Thanks mate :)

"lets go see what the others are doing' BAM, that wave shot was epic in my opinion. Fantastic video, have a great week!

It keeps turning up back at my door... send help!!
James Popsys I reckon Nigel might be behind it. Loves a good tripod does Nigel
What was the tripod incident to which to referred? Is that a Three Legged Thing tripod?
Very interesting. Well done. Loved seeing your process.
Thanks mate :)
Thanks for taking us out on your shoot with you. Love being part of the process.
Thanks for watching Joel :)
The last two videos go together perfectly! One for the heart and one for the brain, GREAT STUFF!
haha, thanks! :)
What a fab video. Love that you’re changing these up and I can’t wait for the new series you teased. Great work - thank you!
Cheers Chris! Much appreciated 🙂
Absolutely loved it! It was great to see your thought-making process as it really helps to see how people like yourself view scenes and compositions. Keep up the great work 🤙

You do get that in the U.K. There’s 20 odd minutes between sunrise in Norfolk and West Wales or Cornwall.
Yes! Another call of duty Photography edition! I loved it like always!

Love that stuff, kick back on your sofa and just relax - this is how you watch it.
Thanks for watching! 🙂
I’m loving the “Go Pro” point of view James 👍 Great vid as usual. Thanks for taking us along. My wife and I are now talking about going to Ice Land!
Awesome! You'll love it :) Thanks for watching!

Outstanding vlog!
Amazing video mate, loved it!
Love to make and see POV Photography videos. 😃 Incredibly cool video you have made, keep up the good work 📷 📸Greetings From Norway🇳🇴
Liking this vlog style.. total contrast to last weeks but fun..
Cheers Ian :)
I Love this guy. Every time I see a video with Gavin I click and wait for his enthusiastic introduction 😉
I really enjoyed this POV video. It was useful to hear your thought processes as you looked for compositions.
Thanks David :)
Great scenery, great commentary of what you were doing. How you don’t have more subscribers I’ll never know. Have a good week as well, can’t wait for the upcoming series 👍🏻
Thanks so much Richard, I appreciate it :)
Great video !It's great to see how you go about getting your shots and your thought processes as you walk around . Great shots!
Thanks so much :)

Plenty of sheep next week my friend :)
@@JamesPopsysPhoto 👏👏👏👏👏
Such a helpful video! Great to watch how you work in real time
Awesome stuff! I use my polarizer rather often and find that I enjoy the colors with it. Thanks for sharing your perspective from a beautiful place!

Fantastic shots James as always and enjoyed the fpv perspective! Those images were sharp 👌🏻
Great video. Inspirational.
Been following since like 50k subs. Can't wait for you to hit that 100k!
thanks so much mate! 🙂
What a place! Great video James & some really amazing shots in there :)
Love your unique perspective. A lot of the others walk around hours for one shot. You just go out and shoot, my kinda shooting!
Thanks mate :)
That trip to Antarctica looks amazing but out of my budget sadly. I wonder though, will you be leaving from Hobart in Tasmania? A day trip to Mt Wellington or somewhere similar as a photographic workshop would be cool :), for us Tasweigans.
Yay, the voice is back 👍🏻 Nice one.
Thanks for watching Patrick! 🙂
This is why I love this channel, love your talking mate!! 😄😄👍
Thanks mate :)
Love this video! Very helpful
More of these videos please! Lovely stuff!
Cheers James!
Really liked this video James! Your vids are fab with or without you speaking. Just out of interest, where abouts in Iceland is this...?
Wow, James Popsys with a tripod and a 10 stop... briefly. Wasn't expecting that :P Awesome light there. Nice idea for POV photography vlogs. Cheers!
Haha, never again! Thanks mate!

This is great! Loving the fps.
I asked my missus “How wide are you?” and she thumped me.

haha, I really appreciate the gesture anyway mate :)
Some great shots in there mate, especially that Aurora one at the start, bucket list shot for sure
Thanks mate :)
Loved the video!
Your tripod antipathy is so relatable :)
Haha, pleased to hear it Gina :)
This is so sick bro! I love POV Photography I’ve started doing it myself! Keep it up man!
"please keep walking, the gap look perfect in that shot, that sounds bad but its true" fucking legend
haha! Cheers mate
To my taste this video was much better than the last one
Thanks! :)
Just makes me want to go out and shoot in the places you go sooo sooo bad. I can literally think of some compositions with the info I gathered from this video.

When was this? Photos are amazing :) Especially the one with aurora
2 weeks ago :) Thanks!
dropped your camera somehow? lol those big ass gloves
