I fully understand your decision personally doing YT would get in the way of my photography and I'd feel pressured into going out when conditions aren't favourable just to get a vlog in the bag and released. I'm not bothered if a You Tuber releases regular vlogs or as and when they have one. Quality NOT quantity definitely applies here. I love watching your videos and your down to earth presentation. Hopefully see you again soon on another meet up. On another note what a stunning outlook you have from your garden 😍 we're surrounded by houses where I live 😊 I'm sure we'll see a return when Autumn kicks in and the leaves on the tree's are turning. Take care 👍
Thanks for the support Paul. I’ll be back and have already got some plans and shots lined up for vlogging 🙂 Probably only going to be away a few weeks, get summer out of the way and then be back in September hopefully. Not a bad view from the garden - one of the main reasons we bought the house… but you wouldn’t like it when it’s windy! Trust me, it’s like tornado alley. 90mph+ 😳 See you soon 👍🏻
Thank you for keeping us unformed. I understand where you are coming from. It is nearly four years since I put out my first video and have been weekly since the start of 2022. It is hard even when you are motivated and feeling good about it. When the motivation dips and time is limited it becomes very hard. Thank you for sharing.
No worries about you taking a well-earned break. You created a great channel with some top-notch videos which have educated and entertained us all greatly over the months. Best wishes on your future photography travels, whether you publish your work or not. All the best.
Thanks for your honesty Garry, I have just recently found your channel because of our impromptu meet a few month's ago and I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of your vlogs but do the right thing for your self my friend, enjoy your free time and I wish you all the best and I hope you get your mojo back and hopefully post the odd vlog, best regards to you and your good lady, Ron
Hi Gary, I feel your pain, I started a youtube channel around 2 years ago, it was only going for a few months then I ran into real world commitments such as moving house, being made redundant and changing jobs and some other stuff. So, like you I decided to leave it alone, that was 2 years ago and even though I keep meaning to return, I haven't yet, but, I am going to, only to document my travels and adventures. Like you, I will not be actively seeking massive subs, but I did enjoy making the videos, so I'm going to return. You need to take a break for as long as suits you mate, I'm sure at some point, like myself, that you'll feel the time is right to return and maybe this time, don't feel pressured to release a video weekely. I watch a couple of vloggers that release something when THEY want to, not when the algorithm tells them to. Anyway, good luck and enjoy the Z8, take care. Steve.
Thanks you for these kind words. Give me a nudge when you restart your RUclips journey and I’ll be following along. Oh, you spotted my recent purchase…. Guess I could do some sort of Z8 review or comparison video. That will be get a few likes 🤣🤣 Thanks again. 👍🏻
Thanks mate. Don’t worry, already planning my triumphant return 🤣 Just going to enjoy the summer. Should be back in September 👍🏻 We’ll have to cook up a collaboration sometime 👍🏻
I can guess one of the reasons you've powered through though the vlog side is not sparking the same joy and feeling like a chore or duty at the moment. Take a pause and reset is exactly what would be being said to you! As the growth of the channel is an achievement now enjoy it rather than burning out. RUclips is hard work and no one works a whole year without a holiday. Embrace the break and take all the photos 📷
Hey mate. Don't be so hard on yourself. I know the massive effort and time taken to make the videos. I've been there for the multiple retakes! I know the thought that you put into each and every one. Producing just one vlog a week is a full time job, no question. Look after yourself Garry and your mojo will return. I think limiting the videos to say one a month instead of every week will be a huge help. I mean look at the Star Wars franchise. Great when there is a movie every few years but fricking dire when it turns into a TV soap opera. 😉 Stay strong, use the force and don't feed yourself after midnight (er...that might be a different movie). 👍
Thanks Sherby. I’ll be back… can’t keep a good Jedi down. Oh, there wouldn’t be multiple retakes if you were a better second unit cameraman 🤣🤣 See you soon 👍🏻
Its important to do what's right for you. I enjoy your photography and your videos so I have followed you on Instagram. Enjoy your break and please don't feel pressured into producing videos by people or by the RUclips algorithms. A number of other "RUclipsrs" that I follow have expressed similar feelings so you are not alone. Life is for living and enjoying 👍🙂
Thanks for the support. I originally planned to just mention I was taking a break at the end of one of my normal videos but that never got filmed… I’ll be back. Hopefully refreshed and releasing videos a little less often will see an improvement in quality. Although I have a feeling they will be exactly the same 😃 If I’ve not already followed you on Instagram, give me a nudge 👍🏻
I think it's right you do want you need to do Garry and I look forward to your return in whatever format it takes. I've been doing this RUclips thing for about 2 years now and it can be time consuming and so needs to be fully enjoyable to continue. Sometimes it can be hard to put photography first and I'm glad you've got yourself some new gear. Forever Forwards 😊
@@garrysugdenphotography massive thanks Garry. If you have any feedback feel free to pass it on as I feel this is a never ending learning curve sometimes 🤷♂️🤣
I always wondered where you got the strength for releasing videos weekly. I struggle even with the fortnightly release. 😂 I totally understand you, have a rest, recharge the batteries. We're not going to go anywhere. Try to do some shootings without recording video, just what you enjoy the best. I did that many times, it can be relaxing.
Yep, just need to recharge those batteries 🙂 Just having a week in Snowdonia at the moment and for the first time in a long time, it’s been a traditional holiday and not a photography expedition 🙂 Already planning my return, probably be back in about a month 👍🏻
I can really relate to this mate and I think if it's best for you then yes it's a great idea. Don't set a timescale for your return or how often you put of videos. But I will say I do hope to see you back soon mate, take care
NO! We are supposed to be meeting up :(, but I get it my mate. If you fancy a day out anytime, let me know and we'll meet up and go out :). take it easy mate and enjoy the break x
I’ve hit the like button but it doesn’t mean I like the video! Completely understand mate, do what you feel re uploads, as long as we get to take photos together…
I'm late to the party Garry, but have thoroughly enjoyed the vlogs. As you say, a break will give you time to reassess things. You need to enjoy pulling them together & I know how long each of these take. Maybe the mojo will be back in time for the September meet up. I could guest star !!
Guest star? You won’t have choice!! Might even rope you into doing some of the filming before Dave signs you up 🤣🤣 Just taking a holiday really and using it as excuse to have rethink about the channel content and frequency. I’ll definitely be back in some form by the time we meet up 👍🏻
Don,t blame you , we all need a break from things especially when its too much and getting a bit time consuming . Enjoy yourself doing what you want and when you want..
Thank you Julie. Really appreciate the words of encouragement. There certainly has been some kind words said on here and in other social media. I’ll be back in no time at all. 🙂
thats a shame enjoyed watching your vid but i do no what you mean it is hard to find new things to photography rather than keep going to the same places have a rest
Hi Garry, think we have all been there, i certainly have. You may have noticed i do not upload regularly or to any kind of schedule. I just record a vlog whenever i can, like you i struggle with content, i struggle with locations as i am as far south east as you can get so i am limited to one direction of travel really. I , like you do it as i enjoy the whole process so for me, doing a video here and there whenever i can works for me. If people follow along i really appreciate their interest and watching etc . Its meant to be enjoyable ! Good luck Bud ! Look forward to watching , whenever that may be !
Thanks Lee. I’m blessed really as I have so many options, National parks and coasts all within a couple of hours drive. I can even do Snowdonia and back in a day!! I’ll be back really soon. Just a few weeks summer holiday I think. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Burn out is no fun mate. Have a good rest, will be looking forward to seeing you again real soon 👍👍
Thanks Simon. Won’t be long. I promise. 👍🏻🙂

Thanks Ron. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a few weeks after a good extended summer holiday. 👍🏻
Do what you feel best mate, I always recharge about this time of year, does me good 👍😊
Yeah. Summer holidays then I’ll be back 👍🏻

I’m like a Yorkshire Terminator… “I’ll be back” 🙂
Nothing wrong with a good old recharge of the batteries mate. Be sure to come back though! I enjoy watching them! ❤
Thanks mate.
Don’t worry, already planning my triumphant return 🤣

I completely understand Garry. Have a good break and come back when you’re ready and don’t overthink what’s coming next. Do it for you👍🏻
Thank you Jon. Wise words 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ll be back in a few weeks. Already planning it (but not over thinking it) 🙂
Every single landscape tog on RUclips saying the same thing this year. all the best
Yeah, I think even some the big name vloggers have struggled.
Still love photography though, so I’ll be back soon 👍🏻

Completely understand your reasons mate, been through the same myself, come back when you're ready, you've earned a good rest.
Also.. slightly jealous of the view from your garden!
Everyone says that… but it has its downsides….
Won’t be long…. Back soon. 🙂
We'll be here when you get back, have a good break. It really does help to have a holiday from anything.
Thank you.
I won’t be away too long. Just a few weeks hopefully 👍🏻
Subscribed keep it going when your ready.
I’ve lost 5 subscribers since this video went live this morning… your subscription is very much appreciated. Thank you so much 🙏
