I’ve been a subscriber from day one and over time, I have witnessed Joshua's growth as a photographer and content creator. Your videos have evolved in terms of production quality, storytelling techniques, and overall presentation. It's clear that you invest time and effort into honing your craft, pushing the boundaries, and consistently raising the bar. As a viewer, I feel privileged to witness your progress and learn alongside you.
Thank you!
This means a lot Dom, thank you so much
Thank you for the candid aproach at how to grow as a photographer. The analogy of the mountain is spot on, have a great weekend!
The best way to becoming a good photographer, is to constantly be taking pictures. The second main piece of advice, is gear doesn't matter. Don't fall for the marketing hype, and gear reviewers opinions.
I appreciate how truthful you are, I’ve been into photography since I was young I got my first camera Nikon d3100 , 11 years old now, upgrading to the cannon eso 2000D at Christmas and i can’t wait to buy lenses and just go and explore! Thankyou so much for all the tips!
My go to channel for understanding photography. Everything is delivered in an easy to understand way and I have learnt a lot in the past 8 months since subscribing.
Keep up the great work and showing photography can be affordable to the beginner photographer.
Thank you so much
Thanks for this inspiring video! New photographer/videographer here. I agree! My favorite thing is that I know that no matter what I learn, there will always be more to learn. AND every time I pick up my camera I learn something new. I'm hooked! I look at the world in a whole new way. Even if I'm not carrying my camera, I'm looking at how the light is playing on the landscape or a flower or blade of grass. The world looks different when you look at it through a photographer's eye. Cheers!
Love that!
Great video! Thanks for the encouragement
Nice work Joshua - I've been really enjoying your inspirational videos!
Thank you for the real tips!
Your videos are awesome and fun to watch
you may be a small channel, but you are powerful. aan excellent lessopn I would only add that each artist must define @success for themselves as it is a nebulus thing success maybe it is the setting of the bar a little higher each time with new challanges, to continuously try new and different approaches, styles,techniques. for once the journey or process becomes routine you've stopped growing. each 'victoey' is a door opening to the next challenge or as you aptly say, the next higher mountain. thank you for sharing as it now feels I'm not alone on the trail, the journey deeper into my art, my inner being of peace. till next time tchau !
Thank you David 🙏🏼
Very good video. Thanks.
Currently I'm feeling on a learning plateau and I don't know how to overcome that.
One of the best motivational speeches for aspiring photographers!
The voice and matching clips and overall editing of the beginning clip was great!
And that photo of the tree and the sun ❤
Wow, thank you!
I am 70 years young and still learning after decades of snapping pictures.
Another good one Joshua, you always manage to make points that really hit home to me and remind me of why I started photography in the first place. Have a great week Joshua.
Thank you so much William 🙏🏼
When you were talking about "the first mountain" I started thinking that there are other peaks to conquer along the trail. And then you said it as well:)
RUclips recommended me your video on the Lumix S as I was doing some research on the camera. I liked how you explained the pros and cons of the camera. I respect that you also endorse a 250d, when most of the photography influencers are recommending the R series from Canon. I ended up watching this video as I was intrigued. I appreciate and agree the message you are trying to convey. I started my photography journey back in 2011, definitely climbed some mountains, got the opportunity take some really amazing photos of landscapes and people. Somewhere along the journey I got pretty bored and just had no desire lugging my Canon 60D and the 24-105 Lens. It’s been almost 3 years since I hung up the camera. I think it’s time to get back on the climb. Thanks for the encouragement. You got a subscriber in me! Btw, where is this mountain that you climbed?
Mountain is in mid-wales, although it’s not a very well known one 😁
Awesome video Joshua!!
Thank you Kevin 🙏🏼
Your videos are very helpful and inspiring..
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Excellent & very encouraging advice Joshua… also, thank you for your nice comments on my twitter photo’s I’ve shared with you!…. Bob Hogan
My pleasure!
A very good and well explained video Joshua! I’ve been on an incredible journey taking tons of photos and absolutely love it. Traveling to new places is always a real treat and I enjoy using a few different cameras, lenses and different camera settings. It is a true journey, have a Rockin Ramble Tamble week!
Thank you David 😁
Another beautiful video Joshua. Wise words indeed.I'm really enjoying your recent philosophical gems. Photography is a bit like life " You can't put an old head on young shoulders. Experience and success is hard earned.
Good analogy!
I'm not that sure if it is that important to become a "good" photographer because who will decide if you're good? A jury of other photographers considered to be good by these or those criteria?
Isn't it more important that you accomplish these two goals: enjoy your photography and like your photos yourself?
Really nice video, keep it up men
Thank you 😁
Loved this video! Rly inspired me to do more 😊 tyvm! (PS: What’s the song around 3:30? Loved that one too)

Hello Joshua. I really like your videos. Very chill :)
Can i ask you a question. I have a problem with my pictures and cant find out whats the problem. All my photos are broken. they have huges bars in yellow or red or blue in it. Sometimes 80% if the photo. Is cant find out what it is. Is my camera broken or maybe my SD card? I have a Canon 2000D wich is 5 years old. So the SD card. Maybe you had this problem in your time too. Thank you :)
What clip do you use to attach your camera to your backpack strap? Thanks
I'm already good , I want to be great ...
beautiful words about photography but the main question for me, being an amateur photographer about 15 years, after spend lots of money in gear, after have taken thousands of images, the question is: Who are those lots of images for?, why do you take this images?. There are literally millions of marvellous landscape photos available in Internet for everyone, there are lots of amateur and professional photographers there. I feel my photos to be a tiny drop of water into the ocean. I feel I´ve been taken those images for the nothingness of nothing. Sometimes it is hard to find a motivation for this hobbie.
