3 Better Reasons to do Landscape Photography

- There are better reasons to photograph landscapes than the photos they give you. Come with me as I photograph the largest, oldest single-rock monolith on Earth, Uluru / Ayers Rock, and then forget to look at the photos for weeks.

you refer to yourself as a landscape photographer but in this video you are a story teller and what a wonderful story it is. Amazing work
Thank you, Jason. I genuinely appreciate that.
A deliberate witness…what a great line mate
I lived 230kms west of 'The Rock' on the NT/WA border, 20 years ago. I saw 'The Rock' every 3 weeks, going to Alice Springs, and it never bored me with its beauty. It constantly changed, especially when it rained. It always reminded me of how far I had come and how far I still had to go. And, I never ever climbed it out of respect for the people I lived with. There is even more beauty on and off the road between Uluru and Laverton, in WA.
Wow, what an amazing time that must have been. I’ve been in love with the outback since the Australian Safari in 1989. Once it takes hold, its draw is inescapable. Thanks for watching and commenting, Michael.
Thank you so much Peter for sharing your experience and sound wisdom.
Thanks, Adnan - I appreciate that.
Thanks for the lovely video Peter. I really enjoyed the little piece of history you provided. Often we visit and photograph locations without appreciating the history. I think once we understand the significance of places, it makes for a much more special experience. 100% agree that if you can, there's nothing like taking your own photo. It's your capture of an experience, a memory, an emotion, or a perspective that has no comparison. What a beautiful part of the world - would love to make my way there one day. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍
Thanks, Val. You really must go. It’s such a magical place; so ancient and powerful. We’ll be returning soon, I reckon.
I agree with your philosophy on the reasons you enjoy landscape photography and I loved the story you told about this location and the memories the trip gave you, beyond just a postcard image that you can get anywhere. Looking at it from this perspective touches all our senses and emotions in one experience and that's priceless.
Juanita - you never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you, and I hope you’re well, luv.
A wonderful experience Peter. Thank you for taking us with you
Thanks, old boy. I hope you’re well, Huw.
That was spectacular mate! Loved the story-telling/spritual aspect of your video & the beautiful shots of this gorgeous monolith that’s unlike anything else on our planet. It’s as if it had been just dropped there to make our jaws drop.😀Great work Pete! 👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks a lot, Pete. For 25 years, I thought climbing the rock was the big attraction. I was so wrong - the feeling you get walking around the base is truly amazing. And Kata Tjuṯa is just as special.
We haven't been there before, and love the story you have there as well!
Put it on your bucket list. It's spectacular.
Fabulous place and majestic scenery . Thank You for taking us with you Peter and for sharing your reasoning and purpose. You're absolutely right. By the way, decent pictures nonetheless, but that's complementary of course. Cheers from the other side of this beautiful world, Sorin .
Thank you, Sorin. What part of the world are you in?
Beautiful photos and videography as usual. I totally agree with you Peter. To often we shoot photographs for likes on social media and follow the latest Instagram trends. Instead just slow down, experience the world and shoot for yourself. It will pay huge dividends for both your photography and mental health. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks, John. You’re always so generous with your feedback.
Beautiful sentiment, beautifully put Peter. The photographs are so vitally important, possibly as as an outcome of many other varying factors... that doesn't mean they have to be good photos (although in this case they are magnificent) for them to serve this purpose. It seems to me they are a method, an outcome and a process of something greater than just recording the world around us. Photography isn't the only expressive medium out there (music, literature, painting etc...), and it may not work for everyone, but it certainly works for you and we are all made richer by your efforts. Cheers buddy, stay safe, stay creative 🙏🙏🙏
Such a nice thing to say. Thanks, mate.
Stunningly beautiful thanks Peter!
Thank you, Paul.
The shot at 5:10 with the path and the trees and the rock taking the top 2/3 of the frame is amazing. Well done.
And here is why I like it so much: Rule of Thirds.
The coloring is beautiful and the focus, creating almost a tilt-shift is super cool. But I am a big believer in Rule of Thirds and this one hits that on a couple levels. Well done.
@@TroySwezey Me too. It’s a rule that just works. BTW, the colour on the rock on that photo - and the one after it - are true to life. The rock literally glows bright orange at sunset. It’s absolutely amazing.
@@peterfritzphoto Very cool
Excellent images and video footage 😮 Powerful presentation on the stock photos. I agree; the experience is the real prize, and if we’re lucky, maybe a few good images. I think you’ve outdone yourself on this video.
Thanks, mate. It took me FOREVER to make this. I totally understand these days why films require hundreds of people.
Hi Peter, i just did the very same but at Karratha. Main reason for visit was to see my grandchildren but buy taking most of my camera gear it also made me make the most of the places we visited in and around the area. I think i took about 2000 pics over 12 days and i have probably looked at about 10 of them and we returned 2 weeks ago.
Photography in general helps you to slow down and really look at the places and situations we are in.
Sounds delightful! Thanks for dropping in. BTW, I love your profile pic - very cool.
I love the set of three photos and it is bigger that I thought it was love it 😀
Thanks so much, Angela. Yes, it's gargantuan! The image on the right (in that set of three), is one of my favourites from the trip. I got lucky with that branch and how it lined up perfectly with the V in the rock. Thanks for watching. :-)
@@peterfritzphoto Yes it is some where I would like to go to but I am so scared of reptiles I cant look at them without panic attacks
@@angelathomas2117 Understandable - and Australia has plenty of those. However, we were there in late June, and didn't see a single wild animal - no lizards, snakes, kangaroos; nothing. Reptiles stay away in the cooler months, so that was understandable. I didn't expect the place to be devoid of mammals, though. I live in an outer Melbourne suburb and have a few hundred kangaroos literally three minutes from my house.
Inspiring! Images and words.
Thanks Bill.
very nice photos Peter! Going to Uluru next week, very helpful information
I hope you enjoy it, Yaosen. I will definitely return. 👍
I often joke that I take pictures because I cannot draw... Whether it's painting, drawing or photographing a scene... I agree it's about been in the place.
LOL. I like that.
What an amazing experience, story and photos. Amazing place, I've seen a couple of documentaries about the Uluru rock and it's very fascinating, easy to understand how this is a sacred place.
Thanks, Magnus. I can’t believe it took me 25 years to go back and explore it like this. It’s an incredible place. I hope you’re well. 👍
Came across your smallrig tripod video and loved the way you present your video. As per the last comment, Thank you for taking us with you
That's very nice of you, Chris - thank you.
Really interesting commentary Peter and beautiful images. I agree entirely that photography is so much more than just the images. Heading for Wikipedia to read up on Uluru having never made it that far west on my many trips across the ditch.
You absolutely must, Chris. The first time I visited, I ‘only’ climbed it. But the real magic lies at its base. It’s awe-inspiring.
Another great video all around .
Thank you, Chris. I hope you’re well. 👍
@@peterfritzphoto going well, wish I took my camera on a recent trip over the mountains . Rush trip, needed to slow down and grab a camera in hindsight . Can’t connect the dots looking back …..That’s all .
@@chriscummins4282 Good for you, mate. Take care.
I concur with your thoughts. I am no photographer like your good self, but do enjoy taking photos principally of landscapes. Similar to you, it encourages me to slow down and be present to notice the details, the contrasts, the light etc and how that comes together in the composition. I'm less interested in the finished result than the process or journey of getting there. I have still not made it there. It's on the list....
Thanks very much for watching, Steve! You really must go - it’s truly magical.
Loved your photos with the long lens. Very effective. I really gotta get over there, it's on my list along with NT. I also find when I travel anywhere that taking photos enables me to see the place in so much more detail, sometimes to the point where taking the photos becomes more important than the experience of actually being there. I get a bit obsessive about it, especially now I picked up an R5. OMG.
Thank you, mate. Uluru and Kata Tjuta really are spectacular, and are a feast for landscape photography. You must go! That said, I'm desperately keen to return to NZ - particularly the south island. My last visit there was a week of Gastroenteritis with my two little girls, so I need to override that memory with a fresh experience!
Hi Peter, why is it classed as a rock and not a mountain ?
Excellent question! I believe it’s because it comprises a singular rock type (in this case, sandstone), and no soil, and no other rock types.
Easily the best Uluṟu/Ayers Rock + philosophy of personal photography video I’ve seen since… well, ever
Remarkable, and beautiful. And the rock isn’t too bad either
