Adam, I am truly humbled for the mention in your video today and whilst our genres do differ in the most part, the common bond of photography is definitely the means of deriving that feeling of well being from where ever our respective journeys take us. Totally agree with your comments today, especially in relation to reducing exposure to toxicity as it can sap the life energy out of you, if you let it. I am looking forward to seeing you in person next month and hopefully we can get the opportunity to chat on the day and also very much welcome the opportunity to continue my learning experience by attending the printing event
I have just been devouring your website - a lot of very inspirational images and content. I sold my business and retired seven years ago and I do wonder about my professional working life legacy as it disappears.
@@photoquent thank you for your very kind words. Hopefully you made a positive impact in people's lives during your career and that in itself will contribute to your legacy
Great point about getting fit. When I switched to mirrorless, I built a whole spreadsheet full of measurements on how much less weight I’d have to carry. This lens weighs X oz less than this one, etc. Didn’t take me long to realize all that nonsense would be swamped by just losing 5lbs off my gut. I’m 62 now and big adventures are getting harder but I want to keep doing them as long as my body will let me. I won’t, however, be hauling a printer up a hill anytime soon! 😀
There’s a real sense of everything coming together Adam, giving of knowledge and sharing. Jim has been a real inspiration to me, and supported me since the beginning, great to see you mention Jim. Bloody honour to see myself popping up in your videos. Smiling and remembering our time and looking forward to future adventures. Heart filled and ready to get out! Great video.
I find your comments in this episode very uplifting and useful today Adam. Especially at the end talking about all the negatives we are all bombarded with every single day. Being outside is the one time I can actually relax and be in the moment. I don’t get to do it much any more but when I do, it’s always an uplifting experience. Thank you for a wonderful video and great inspirations. The world needs more positive people like you.
Some great advice, and IMO fitness is essential for general life style. I can still bench a 100kg, after 25 years of going to the gym I can do most physical activities well within my comfort zone. More people should join a gym and exercise for better body, fitness, stamina, and dare I say mental health ! I have been on many shoots were a lot people struggle kneeling down, or hiking to a view point especially in cols or heat !
Fantastic idea of making frames - so obvious and simple an idea and yet adds to the personal touch and delivery! Few are doing this and it can mean a lot of the viewer.
Thanks again for pouring your heart out into this channel! Your messages are always so clear and always bang on. Some day I hope to head to your part of the world and hopefully bump into you on top of a hill somewhere!!!
Hi Adam: Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. Your content continues to resonates with me as I continued to define and refine my photographic journey. Keep well. Cheers . . . Keith (Canada)
Hi Adam! I really relate to the first point you made about your camera. In fact, recently I made my Dad laugh because I actually said I love my camera so much, I want to "Love it, and hug it, and call it George!" (I wonder if you get the reference? 😂😂 Recently though I've been able to acquire a new camera which I'm still forming a 'relationship' with! I've got the Nikon z5. I already love it. I've only had it a fortnight, but I am still at the stage where I'm getting used to it. On the subject of photography literally saving your life, I'm actually in the process of writing a book with the exact same title: How Photography Has Saved My Life! I won't go into too much detail here but when the book's finished I can email you a copy if you like?
Hi Adam, I’ve seen you are doing some Canon printing talks in May, unfortunately I’m working on both days😔😔😔 will there be anymore days in the future please? As I’ve just bought a Pro 300 and would love to learn what to do, the right way!
Nice video- I enjoy finding out the etymology of words and it was interesting to hear about Tantalus and tantalizing... a bit of a gruesome story, but those ancient stories were often a bit over the top. I don't have as much time for photography as I would like, and I find it frustrating to finally get the time to go to a great location, have limited time, and the weather is a mess, or the crowds are intrusive, or the schedule for the trip is messed up - it's easy to lose interest when things don't work out. Still, I try to take my camera (Canon R5) where ever I travel and usually find something of interest.
I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of part three. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve said it once but I’ll say it again, your enthusiasm is contagious and helps me get through some shit times.
Thanks Darren.

Hi Adam,
thank you so much for your inspiring videos - you are so refreshingly different from many other youtubers - please keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
The 5D MKIV is a wonderful camera! I have a 5D MKII. I am very interested in your future frame making video!
Excellent video Adam thanks for the pep talk!
Fantastic idea of making frames - so obvious and simple an idea and yet adds to the personal touch and delivery! Few are doing this and it can mean a lot of the viewer.
Yup. I guess because its a lot of hard work. I find it extremely relaxing......except when it starts to rain!!
Thanks Adam from Canada.

as always, lots of sense being talked there Adam, but 'no one watches Countryfile?' Not sure about that one.

The story telling behind the images is what AI won’t reach - for another decade! 😂😂
If someone says they are a “proper photographer” they are talking bollocks. There is no such thing.
Agreed
