  • Here are 5 things I think landscape photographers, adventure photographers and all other kinds of outdoor photographers could benefit from doing, from the day before going out to get photos to while you're out shooting. If you can think of any more - let me know :)

      Me, too. I had a similar experience years ago at Mount Rushmore. There was heavy fog but also brightening sunlight, so from time to time the presidents would peek out to see if there was an audience...

    Congratulations. As to advice, parenting is like photography, everyone has an opinion on how you should do it but you should do what feels right for you and your family. All the very best.

    Literally most stressful video yet I've been screaming "its behind you" like I'm at a panto when you were trying to get a shot of the top of the mountain. Never the less very fun watch as always.

    Up yours Popsy....
    Congratulations to Emily on your new assistant to be😊🙏

    Congratulations on your new assistant. They will be excellent for getting you up really early in the morning, but they might not allow you to leave at the time you want to. Also, you could possibly forget what a good night's sleep actually is like.

  • @alexanderhetzel8271

    Congratulations on recruiting your new assistant James and Emily. In between changing nappies, bathing, feeding, cradling, rocking to sleep, etc etc etc, you might even get to brush up on your baby photographer skills. Hope everything goes well.

  • @ibarrabenjamin1
    @ibarrabenjamin1 3 года назад

    Congratulations on the baby!! The best advice is to not listen to any advice. Everyone does things differently and just do what fits better your lifestyle and values.

  • @CrisConstantin
    @CrisConstantin 3 года назад +1

    Great video James. The advice you asked for: Don’t change your lives, we did and somehow regret it. The little one will “appreciate” you both more if you go ahead and spend your days in the same “boring” manner (for you it might be, for him everything is new and consequently exciting). Be safe and congratulations 🎊🎉🍾.

  • @fphilip01
    @fphilip01 3 года назад +5

    What an awesome way to announce that you’re growing the family and becoming a dad. It was so smooth.
    Congratulations to your family and especially your new assistant!
    Advice....don’t over think or over analyze. As long as mom and dad have a great bond first, everything will be fine.

  • @RahulSharma-iq9lc
    @RahulSharma-iq9lc 3 года назад +1

    An unsolicited one to go along with your ‘know your camera tip’; when you are out there shooting in manual mode, based on current lighting situation there is a general setting for most of the shots that you set your camera for, sometimes you tweak settings for a particular shot so after taking that shot always revert to the general exposure setting (iso shutter speed and aperture) else one might end up under or over exposing next shot that quickly popped up and fixing that in Post could be a nightmare.

  • @alunrees3056

  • @FullarZ
    @FullarZ 3 года назад

    Congrats!!! I got an advice, when my first kid was 2-3 months old, and we literally slept nothing: the bigger the kid, the bigger the problem :) And the joy. And the bills. But newer mind, it is fun really. Lock your office door, make lots of videos before august, and sleep. Sleep a lot! And buy bigger storage for baby photoes.

    Congratulations James and Emily! Most important bit of advice anyone can give is that secretly... No one knows what they're doing! Everyone wings it. But it's important to both agree and or find a happy medium

  • @jaybradley8332
    @jaybradley8332 3 года назад +6

    I got my "assistant" forty years ago. It was a life-changing moment. Even after all these years it is still rewarding. Embrace every moment. They come and go so quickly. Congrats and best wishes to you, Emily and the baby.

    Congratulations to you both ! Best advice I received before my four daughters was "it will be better than you ever think it could be, and worse than you ever think it could be". Nothing prepares you for the strength of emotions. Reckon also getting up for sunrise might be a challenge and you might find yourself focussing more on Portrait Photography !

    Well enjoy the little things as much as you can they grow way too quickly! My daughter is 19 months now and it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long! She has already learnt the word no and uses it often.
    Don’t be afraid to ask for help from family, friends or even neighbours if you need it!
    Looking forward to all your future adventures 😁

    @rickbrowne519 3 года назад

    Congratulations! The one thing I'd tell you is what I tell all new parents - although as a photographer you probably already know it: take lots and lots of photos because the little ones change very, very fast and it's really nice to have a record of what they looked like at each stage of development!

    Congratulations to you both and wishing you all the joy that little ones bring, no advice from me, as you will hear it all from the family. I often find my best composistions when having a pee, i.e. stand still in one spot for a while and look all around you.

    And I don’t know if that mountain peak snap was planned or not but what a way to get your audience to engage with your video. I had to watch it twice because the first time I wasn’t paying attention to what you were saying but keeping a lookout for the peak. Brilliant James.

    James, I am so happy for you and Emily!! Congratulations! You really rocked me back in my chair when you just pull out the ultrasound... LOL! You are both going to be great parents! I just know it. We couldn't have our own and so God set us on the adoption path. I can tell you James, there is no rule book. Not saying that you shouldn't read or go to classes mind you, but we learned (and still do... our daughter is 17 yrs old now) to just live each precious moment and instill in that little one all that you know and love. Anyway, I have no doubt that you will be fantastic parents and that your little one will be richer for having you. Many blessings to you both. Cheers!

    Congratulations on your new little guy. I have two, 6 and nearly 3. The first ruined our lives and then we rebuilt with him and he's the most wonderful little person. Then we did it again.
    I also learned enough to become completely irritated with the depictions of new parenthood. So much about delivery, nothing about the post-delivery rebuild and her trauma.

It certainly made for a much more productive and relaxing session.

    Congratulations to you and Emily on the new assistant/invoicing clerk. We're due to be grandparents for the first time in June so also super excited. As parents of 4 (now all adults) my only piece of advice is this "take EVERY piece of advice, especially unsolicited advice, as an opinion to think about, then do what feels right to you and don't be worried about getting things wrong, or changing your mind based on experience." Enjoy your new adventure! 😁❤️

    @dfglandon 3 года назад +2

    Best advice I can pass along is this; between the two of you be on the same page, be firm and be consistent. You don’t need to have the kid ping pong between the two of you to get what they want. Also don’t try to be their friend be the parent. Parents that are friends typically can be manipulated by the kid. When they grow up then be their friend. Remember there is no secret formula, you two communicate and stay consistent.
