As an intermediate, okay-ish photographer of many years, I've just found your channel and the advice you give is sound. Good to watch a fellow enthusiastic photographer doing these vids for the love of it and to teach others. We are all novices at some point.
My landscape photography has improved so much since I found your channel. Your presentation style is informative and easy to understand thanks for being you Felicity from Australia
I loved your video and photos Henry. We live in NZ now, which is a stunningly beautiful country, but your video brought back great memories of the Lake District, especially when you rattled off the place names. What a gorgeous and unique area it is!
Love both images Henry. Landscapes are about more than just the land, they're about the environment and the _feeling_ that comes from being there in that moment. Magic stuff!
well as usual you get no complaints from me,thoroughly enjoyed the video,used to work in Windermere and just love the place.great pic at the end Henry,thank you again.
MANY THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! The only telephoto lens I have is a 55-200mm DX zoom lens which I use on a full frame camera, giving me a 85-300mm perspective...GREAT TIPS!
The photo at the end is awesome 😁 perfect timing with this video for me as I've just got a Nikkor 70-300 telephoto, my first lens other than my 18-55 kit lens!
Definitely a ‘Marmite’ shot and I love it. Not so much the last shot although I can see and like what you’re doing with the grasses. Don’t ever loose that enthusiasm and passion (we will know) you put into your images. There are many people out there making videos about photography but few get across the input at a personal level quite the way you do. Thanks Henry. Top job!
Telephoto / yep despite its added weight I carry & use particularly for some panoramic blending shots. I picked up a tip from one of your prev videos = blending multiple bracketed HDR's using a tripod; and it works every time now. Your "arty" shots are really good. Yep, more of the enthusiasm and feel good factor. It's what we need just now. Keep it up.
I recently found your channel Henry and I really enjoy your content. The Landscape in your part of the world is stunning. You have made me want to get out and take advantage of the Landscape here in Central Texas...rocks and cactus has its beauty as well! Thank you brother...SUBSCRIBED! Aaron
Nice job Henry wanted to mention long exposures with the telephoto like you had in the grasses also turn out well, when you have cloud movement and foreground movement it brings even more focus on the static subject.
I've got the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR which I used for sports photography and it is an awesome lens. I've done some portraits with it as well, to me it is a sort of 'jack of all trades' lens and of all the other lenses I have this usually gets the most use. Loved all the shots tonight, thanks for sharing.
Stunnig photos, as usual Henry! Thanks a bunch for the tips. I don't have a telephoto lens, but will use your tips once I have one in my possession. Thinking to get 70-200, more than enough for a crop sensor, I think. I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos, keep them coming, please and thank you! 👍
Your best video yet I think! I think the way you put your videos together, and how expressive you are these days is certainly making your videos _even better_.
,Thanks Henry, very useful video as always. It is important to keep those points of telephoto and shallow dof in mind when needed. Thanks for previous info on the Backlight 26l. I ordered but saw the 18l and bought that. Adequate for my needs with 4/3 system. Best bag I have ever had. Keep safe Henry.
Cheers for the comment Donald - really appreciate the comment. Really glad you like the bag mate and that you got the size that suits you - I absolutely love mine
I'm totally jealous....great shots....great enthusiasm....been to lake district....live in Colorado ( very dry here )....born in England in 1949...just getting back to photography after 50 odd years....lost so much time....but you are an inspiration lad !... I focus the same way you do on live view...well done...thank you Henry, my name is Keith...i will enjoy following you now !!.... Cheers !
Sorry Henry don't do lured photos, but that was the place my very first fell walk took me, almost 40 years ago, same light, same time of day, but using film, never could get the hang of it. Thanks for bringing back some fine memories, a thumbs up regardless.
Good vid mate. Liked most of the pics, wasn’t sure about the ridge line one but still that’s photography. It’s all about someone’s perspective on things and we can’t all like the same things. I have actually been out trying some similar stuff myself up here in Scotland recently. Just bought a Sigma 150-600mm. Bloody like carrying a kitchen sink around but interesting to use as I have never shot with anything like it before. Keep up the good work bud always love your content.
Your long lens shots were excellent and although I hate marmite, I loved these. Made the ‘small form’ of Helm Crag look epic. The second shot was amazing too with the out of focus grasses. Thank you for your inspiring video.
Another great vlog. Not a huge fan of the second shot if I'm honest but loved the others and your passion and enthusiasm are as always infectious. What a beautiful country we live in!!
Super video Henry! I also use the D7200 with the same telephoto. Thank you for the tips and will try to implement some of it. Unfortunately, I don't have such an enchanting landscape as you have. Please keep it up! Greetings from Germany!
Hi Henry well i love marmite so yes i love the photos as much. What brilliant photos nice to hear you all though i did enjoy your last video, how i like to be on my own walking taking photos in peace. strongly recommended after all the stress at work. Thanks for bringing the outdoors to indoors for me to relax. Top bloke..
First “arty” image my fav - monochromatic and resembling classic Japanese prints of mts, if you know what I mean. Ever use the old “thumbs and forefingers” method of previewing a comp having smaller field of view? Somewhat “corny” method but it does work.
Loved the video without the talking, I could almost feel what you were thinking and doing, excellent. As for the telephoto lens, I use mine a lot, and love it, and I love your enthusiasm and thanks for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated mate.
Thanks for the practical ideas. My mountains have a lot of haze, and a telephoto seems to emphasize that. Any ways to fix that with filters or post? P.S. I loved the second photo.
For me at that sort of location it's Wide Angle first, Pano with 24-105 or 70-200 lens then pick out the 'arty' areas but haven't tried anything like the grass shots...yet! Thanks for the idea Henry. :-)
Hi! My friend and I are loving your video. We both just got our first telephoto lenses. She hated the first arty one and I loved it so, yeah, it’s one or the other!! Now, this is not photo related, but you said it was piping hot on your hike- we are dying to know how hot is piping hot? 😂
Hey Henry, at the moment I am trying to decide what bit of kit I should get next. At the moment I have the Nikon d3400 with a manfrotto tripod, 35mm and 55-200 lens. I was debating between getting either a d7200/7500, a new lens, a decent monitor or some filters. Your help would be much appreciated, keep up the good work.
Yes, look for the picture within the picture! I really enjoyed those images Henry. The Nikkor DX 55-200 VR ll is my main lens and I picked it up used for $150 usd a few years ago. It was released in 2015. I like the extra width at the low end vs a 70-200. Really worth it for any Nikon crop sensor users out there, and it only weights about 10 oz.
They are lovely shots, some for different moods and of course variety is the spice of life . Keep up the arty pics it helps us be flexible and visionary. W
Great vlog Henry. Glad to see you looking and feeling better now. 2 cracking shots and nothing to split between them for me. I've just increased my zoom range to 135mm and so wonder what the first image was taken at? Just to give me an indication? Thanks Henry - be well. 🙂👌👌
Apart from abstract images which I've ever hated also in paintings, I generally use a telephoto lens (apart because of the added reach) also when I want to compress distances and make subjects interacts in a different way from reality and also in panos for the very negligible distortion.
Loved you video as always . Did you have to much editing on the photos as I noticed that you didn't use grad filters but picked sky out great. I am a bit new to digital photography and your video's help a lot thanks Alan
Thanks for the comment Alan, I do a fair bit of editing, in these instances I didn't need any ND grads or to bracket because the dynamic range was nicely balanced
Hi Henry. Good to see you back to your old self mate, enjoyed the vlog, I like the tips about the telephoto lens. The third image is my personal favourite in this set, nice one.:)
Excellent video once again Henry 👍! Saving up my pennies for one of your prints, I can't remember the name but it's the island shot in the middle of the lake 😍
Another great Video Henry, loved the first photo. I liked what you did with the second, but the grass out of focus in the center of the image was distracting. I have used my zoom 70-200mm and its an awesome lens for those intimate landscape shots. Alister Benn is great at doing these type of shots and in B&W. Check him out when you get a chance, if you haven't already. Cheers
As a fellow Cumbrian and Nikon user, d3200, d7100 & d750 I am genuinely intrigued that you as a proffesional photographer are using the cheaper dx lenses, not even the proffesional ones. You often use your 16-35mm f4 lens which is a FX full frame lens on a crop sensor d7200, so are missing out on most of its wide angle, sensor filling capabilities. You have that pro FX lens already and your peripheral gear seems top notch, so have you never thought of the small price jump it would take to get even a 2nd hand full frame body to make the most of your FX lens and therefore its landscape capabilities? It's never just about the gear I know that, but for the effort u put in on your outings, you must realise your 16-35mm blows them away. I use dx lenses too on the d7100 and they are great, but for 'proffesional' standard stuff you should consider the full frame option, a d750 is a steal, or a d810 to utilise your FX 16-35mm as a wide angle landscape lens. Keep at it marra, all the best from the lakes.

Totally agree Martin, I think longer lenses really are jacks of all trades!
Thanks Henry for again a great video from you and the pictures was fantastic I enjoy every minute of your videos 😊
Glad you like them Per, really appreciate the support!

Awsome video Henry please keep them coming.
All images are very nice. I have preference for the last one. Nice use of the telephoto lens👏
Glad you like them!

That last handheld shot was amazing Henry 👌👌👌
Thanks so much!
Cool. Henry included one of his signature gate shots. Thanks, Henry!
Haha cheers mate!!

Thanks so much Rob
Another great vlog. Not a huge fan of the second shot if I'm honest but loved the others and your passion and enthusiasm are as always infectious. What a beautiful country we live in!!
Thank you Ian I appreciate your opinion! Yes our country is spectacular
Hahaha there is definitely lots of passion for photography in this one 😎👍🏾.
Super video Henry! I also use the D7200 with the same telephoto. Thank you for the tips and will try to implement some of it. Unfortunately, I don't have such an enchanting landscape as you have. Please keep it up! Greetings from Germany!
Thanks a lot Thorsten, nice choice of camera and lens ;) haha
Henry, the photograph at 11:05 is extremely emotive. Well done, it looks like you are a devotee of Chiaroscuro!
Thanks a lot Martin, really glad you liked that photograph
Love your intense passionate delivery....don’t stop!..🇬🇧🌈😎
Thank you so much Peter!!
Loved the photo of helm crag Henry, beautiful colours as well 👍. Great advice also
Thanks John 👍
Hi Henry well i love marmite so yes i love the photos as much. What brilliant photos nice to hear you all though i did enjoy your last video, how i like to be on my own walking taking photos in peace. strongly recommended after all the stress at work.

Thanks a lot Paul, I used to do that with the thumbs and the fingers but now I tend to just look around without anything so to speak
Loved the video without the talking, I could almost feel what you were thinking and doing, excellent. As for the telephoto lens, I use mine a lot, and love it, and I love your enthusiasm and thanks for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated mate.
Awesome, thank you John!
Smashing vlog Henry, especially loved the 2nd image and also just wanted to say, loved the little touches with the b-roll with the use of the slider
Glad you enjoyed it Scotty, cheers. It's a bit of a faf but I love the results from the slider
Enjoyed the video very much, it's so beautiful there! Nice pictures with the layers! 😊
Thanks a lot Elly :D
Amazing video and captures well done

I was debating between getting either a d7200/7500, a new lens, a decent monitor or some filters. Your help would be much appreciated, keep up the good work.
Hi Matthew, it very much has to be your choice. You need to figure out what features you want and go form there. Both great cameras
Great video Henry. You got some nice light too.
Thanks a lot Steven, yes it was a decent evening!
Yes, look for the picture within the picture! I really enjoyed those images Henry. The Nikkor DX 55-200 VR ll is my main lens and I picked it up used for $150 usd a few years ago.

'Look for the picture within the picture' - I really like that, it definitely sums it all up nicely!
Thanks Malcolm

Hiya Paul thanks so much mate - that particular shot was taken at 200mm if I remember rightly
Apart from abstract images which I've ever hated also in paintings, I generally use a telephoto lens (apart because of the added reach) also when I want to compress distances and make subjects interacts in a different way from reality and also in panos for the very negligible distortion.
No complaints this way Henry great use of forground .
Cheers Bob
Agreed, there’s great views from Alcock tarn. I did the full the loop to Nab scar, Rydal and back via the coffin trail.
Ah nice one Chris I'd say that's a nice loop - I definitely want towhead back up there at some point
Love your passion and your brilliant advice. Any chance of confirming settings alongside each photo you post up? Thank you.
Thanks very much for the comment! I do try my best to explain settings with each image
Beautiful vid...what a lovely day...
Cheers Jonathan
Loved you video as always .
Did you have to much editing on the photos as I noticed that you didn't use grad filters but picked sky out great.
I am a bit new to digital photography and your video's help a lot thanks Alan
Thanks for the comment Alan, I do a fair bit of editing, in these instances I didn't need any ND grads or to bracket because the dynamic range was nicely balanced
That stone wall in the background looks like a great subject.
Yes I was eyeing that up actually, but the ferns were just too thick to get the perspective I wanted :(
Beautiful!!!!!
Thank you!!
Hi Henry. Good to see you back to your old self mate, enjoyed the vlog, I like the tips about the telephoto lens. The third image is my personal favourite in this set, nice one.:)
Thanks so much Peter 👍
Hi Henry. New to your channel. Love your enthusiastic delivery. How much of the photos are of the moment and how much post production please. Robin
Cheers Robin, I place quite a lot of importance on post production but difficult to put a number on it
Great advice Henry,a beautiful second image ,love marmite 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Stephen!! Not a fan of Marmite myself but I did like the photograph
Brilliant mate.
All great pics mate..
Thanks a lot Craig 👍
Another great video thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Jayne
Excellent video once again Henry 👍! Saving up my pennies for one of your prints, I can't remember the name but it's the island shot in the middle of the lake 😍
Thanks for the support Carla! Ah yes it sounds like the Scots Pine Island image, it's quite a popular one of mine :D
Beautifull images! Specially the second one
Glad you like them!
Zoom landscape photography is something I've never tried. This is very interesting. Thanks Henry.
p.s. I liked the arty one :)
Cheers for the comment Chris, it’s a great type of photography :-)
Nice 1 Henry great shots 👍
Nice one Paul, thanks a lot for the comment
Cracking area, vlog and images spot on #topdrawer mate look forward to the next 💪
Thanks a lot as always mate!!
I really liked that camera backpack, that is until Amazon Australia told me it was $892!
Jesus haha, I mean it's good, but not THAT good!!
@@HenryTurnerphoto Correction, it was $829 :-)
Great images Henry 👍
Glad you like them Andy!
amazing thanks for the video
Glad you liked it Andrew, thanks for watching!
@14:35....
if you crop the image 50% off the bottom and 60% off the right, you will be left with something quite nice.
Another great Video Henry, loved the first photo. I liked what you did with the second, but the grass out of focus in the center of the image was distracting. I have used my zoom 70-200mm and its an awesome lens for those intimate landscape shots. Alister Benn is great at doing these type of shots and in B&W. Check him out when you get a chance, if you haven't already. Cheers
Thanks so much James and cheers for the recommendation, I’ll definitely check him out
Put it on your camera and take a photo? Like any other lens?
Spot on ;)
While I do like the second picture I think it's the first one for me Henry
Thanks a lot Bill, really appreciate the comment
Beutiful photo I like so much
Thanks a lot Ariel!!
The Lad's done well.......again!
Cheers Lesley!!
Exactly what i do with my 70-200 f2.8L IS, that lens never seems to be off my camera at the moment, despite having a 24-70 f2.8 at hand.
Yeah, I've heard loads of landscape photographers saying their long lens is their main lens - it's understandable!
As a fellow Cumbrian and Nikon user, d3200, d7100 & d750 I am genuinely intrigued that you as a proffesional photographer are using the cheaper dx lenses, not even the proffesional ones.

I love ‘marmite’ not so keen on the grassy shot fella. These kinda shots hard to find in Croydon😂
Cheers Bryan!
Loving marmite
Thanks a lot!!
You look like Andrew Robertson 😄
When you live in the south and watch this video with envious eyes.
Haha cheers for watching mate! I love the south too
Vgood
Just got myself a 55-200mm so this video came out in perfect timing for me!
Perfect!
