“It’s good to take bad photos”, why didn’t you say that years ago….im world class at that 😂😂😂
I'd watched Ian's video of the both of you out together - nice to see the same outing from your perspective too!
I really enjoy both you and Ian and your videos, so it was fun to see you two together!! :)
Ian’s right. If the conditions aren’t working, just see what you can find and abandon your plans. I’m not particularly a landscaper, mainly do more intimate nature shots, and I could see plenty in these conditions, including the spider’s web. The colours always come out brighter in rain, unless the sky gets darker. Glad to see you with Ian as I follow his channel too. A lovely chatty and atmospheric video, Henry.🇦🇺
As we say in the USA, you’ve come a long way baby. Nice to follow your journey from intense to layed back. Your photos have gotten better as your understanding of yourself has matured. Keep it up. Mahalo
While he was shooting the spiderweb I was looking at the stonewall behind him.
James Popsys covered the subject of planning in his video today as well. Sounds like the three of us generally have the same attitude which is not to plan too much. I actually rarely plan a shoot as 95% of the time it doesn't work out and then frustration sets in. Rather, I'll go out on a hike or a drive and see what pops up. It's much more relaxing when you go out without expectations. That seems to be how I get the vast majority of my best photos. Besides, for me being outdoors is the most important thing. Photography is secondary but I do love being able to create images of the beautiful places I go to.
I love that no matter the weather... you appreciate Mother Nature's offering :)
She is wonderful in all conditions... and a joy to capture whatever you are presented with.

I like to go out without planning anything and just see what I find 😊
Enjoyed this soggy video like you said it’s still lovely to get out in all conditions 😊
I used to over think as well man until recently. Instead of looking into the histogram too much for the details and with the editing. I just go with my gut feeling if I think if it looks dark or if it looks bright etc...
Cheers Henry, it’s Sean in Atlanta. I usually do my planning for my morning shoot while I’m in the shower trying to decide where to go. Sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn’t…
I’m happy to see you out with Ian because I think he’s a great photographer and seems to be just a really good person.
Thank you for taking this American on so many incredible journeys! I love the UK and really wish I could live there!

"A stop to take a photographer is never ever wasted." So true. Always something to learn.
Well, I really enjoyed that video Henry, so thanks! It was good to hear pro photographers being so open about when they have bad photography days, days when things don't quite work, or days when you just don't get any good images, or at least images that you are happy with. It happens, right!! But as an amateur, at times I, and I guess a few others also, can get really frustrated and disillusioned when this happens. I try not to, but it does happen.
So it is refreshing to hear it from you guys as well, and to just adjust our mindsets and accept, that whilst the photography might not be so great on some trips, we are still out in nature, often early, or late, and that is never a bad thing, is it!!
You said it Henry "its sometimes just great being out" and being with a fellow photographer makes it all the better.
Certainly gave your waterproof clothes a test there.
Hello Henry I’ll be taking my camera at Esters time down south west off Australia on the coast and in a town 1km jetty long exposure shots I can’t wait to get there! All the best mate🤙
Once it “takes away the joy”…re-evaluate - whatever stage on the photography/youtube journey you are at.
Another great video. I’ve come to the stage where I never go out without my camera although half the time it never comes out of the bag. Unless I’m planning something specific, I have the Z7, 24-200, small shoulder sling and wrist strap.
Henry, thanks for another inspiring video. The beginning of the video took me back to when I was a kid and would stumble. My grandfather would always say, "stay on your feet kid, I got money on ya." It is amazing how many times I would get a shot "in the can" and get home and be really disappointed by the results. There have been other times when I would take shots and not be feeling them and got home and they were really inspiring and better than I had thought. I think the key is to never delete anything while on sight and when you download, never delete until someone else sees the shot, as we are our own worst critic.
Thanks again.
I’ve seen your videos with another photographer. It’s hard when you are used to making a video alone and then working with Ian for example. This is the best duo video you’ve made
In my opinion that photo of the lone tree and the wall looks nice and how you separated the trees to be a neath photograph it worked perfectly.
Another interesting video there Henry. Just so you know, I actually specialise in taking more bad photos that good. :)
Henry, good video again. What you described as your photography evolution from beginner to pro and that you don't plan as you used to can be described in one word: experience. You know what works, what doesn't, and you adapt easily to changing environments. That's what experience teaches you.
I'm very loosy goosy on my romps. I would have been in that moss forest forever. Beautiful land. Usually I've got my 70 - 300 on. I might change for a nice view of something like a beaver swamp though. As far as the mechanics, coming from film, it's just so much easier to forget about them now and go with the flow. The UK is very beautiful. That tree at the end was astounding.
What a great video Henry & Ian. Thank you for sharing the adventure! When it comes to photography for me, I focus on enjoying the process, being present, and while there’s a part of me that wants to get that awesome photo, I’ve found it is best to detach myself from the outcome. My son and I were away in Mexico for a much needed vacation and we both agreed - NO CAMERAS. We made a few cell phone snaps and that’s it.
Henry and Ian...Awesome!
2 of my fave RUclips togs! 🎉🎉🎉
🙏🏻👍🏼
Excellent - Two of my favorite photogs!
Thanks for your thoughts Henry & Ian. Loved the video and I must say I agree with the idea of approaching you photo shoot with a relaxed attitude.
My husband and I really liked that Silver Birch Tree and and also the second photo
I thought the final image was a lovely capture Henry, as it encapsulated the conditions you were contending with. I do relate to what you were saying and before I retired from the Fire Service, the opportunity to be out with the camera provided that stress release and escapism and I still get the feeling still to this day as it's great to be out and have the chance to have some headspace. It did take some time to accept that not every click of the shutter will produce something worth keeping but I am more at ease with that now and if it happens, then great, if it doesn't, then it's a good reason to be out to try again on another day
Subscribed to both of you, really enjoying it to see you out together.
Very good outlook on photography, and, on life. Enjoy where you are, in the conditions that exist, and simply look for opportunities. I always told my biology students to look far and wide, but focus near and close. That's why I loved the spider's web image - there's always something there if you pay attention.🙂
Another wonderful video and photos.
My two favorite guys... great video.
Isn’t it fun and productive to go out with a “photo buddy”? My photo buddy inspires me and we encourage each other! We share knowledge and motivate one another! Great topic for a video! Thanks for taking me along!!!
Hi Henry and Ian, not exactly the most ideal conditions but thanks anyway for a grand day out. I quite agree there's no point in taking a photo just because you can, but also we shouldn't be worried about taking a bad photo, since without taking bad ones, we'll never get to a point where we'll improve to taking mildly average ones, and very very occasionally the one we think isn't too shabby at all. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing another interesting Vlog Henry! You certainly had challenging conditions and it's helpful to see how you cope with them and more importantly how to have the right attitude in those circumstances.
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi Henry. When you mentioned the title of your recent photograph "The feuding family", it reminded me of one of my favourite photographs - "I used to be a mountain". It's a simple image of a split black rock somewhere in the middle of the Karoo in South Africa, but the title elevates it into a really thought-provoking image. So, how important are the titles that you give to your photographs?
Sound advice Henry.
Watched James Popsys’ latest video today and he echoed your thoughts exactly re being freer with regard to planning etc. Great minds and all that!
The location looked beautiful even in all that rain! Enjoyed the video very much.
Great video as usual Henry, I have to say that I have never been someone to particularly plan my time out with the camera, the exception being when I go up to Scotland etc, when I plan ahead where I want to go each day, but that's as far as it goes, it's just come what may once I am where I want to be
Hello Henry, I liked those shots, good to be out there even in bad weather :)
I enjoyed the video as usual Henry
It's nice to go out with a fellow photographer and discuss what each other thinks is a good composition and compare each others thoughts.
It was nice to see you back out with Ian again.
The image that you took of the trees and the stone wall was really nice, but as you walked up to the gap in the wall before you went through i saw what i thought would make a nice image was to take it looking through the gap.
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.
The conditions were crazy but i still thought the image's that you took were fine.
Look forward to the next one.
super interesting location! That old ruin you stopped near with Ian looked awesome for photography, guessing no shots captured there? Keep being honest Henry, but stay positive too... its not about the top photography, its about the journey, the adventures. At least that's what its about for me (and my own channel anyway 🤓).
Didn’t get any there mate 😩
Awesome video mate, I really enjoyed it, let's hope the weather improves for our next trip 😉
I hope so too!
It's all about enjoyment 😊 If we enjoy what we doing then there no issues that cannot be resolved. Little planning gives freedom to be creative. When it comes to photography I dislike the expression "plan you work, work your plan" 😉
I love all your videos, and I would love to get out in the conditions you have in this video. The moody atmosphere is wonderful. Tell me why you put your Z7 into crop sensor mode as opposed to cropping your image in post processing? You have probably explained this to others, but my thought was that it must be a pretty similar result.
Thanks! I just prefer composing the shot on location. 👍🏼
Great video Henry especially as the conditions were terrible. Its always a battle to get decent photos when the weather is bad. Best wishes.
Thanks 👍
D'ya know something Henry.. In all the years I've been subscribed to your channel and been watching your videos, that's the very first time I've heard you mention your girlfriend!😀😀 I mean, it's your personal life, so in a sense, why would you? It was just nice to hear you mention it that's all!
Nice and calm video, super pleasant to watch and Ian always seems such a nice guy.
I like what you said, however, for amateur photographer sometimes a location is just a one off and the pressure of taking some good shots is probably greater than a pro photographer who does that for a living and can go back numerous times to the same location, if that makes sense. But i agree, sometimes i have taken my best shots on complete unplanned and relaxed approach to a location.
Nice one Henry, really cool video.
Thanks Henry & Ian for an interesting video....as I have often said I love your work and comments.... Interesting & challenging conditions but you always find great subjects to photograph.... thanks for sharing... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Glad you enjoyed it
My hat's off to both of you for going out on a day like that and staying out all day. Actually, speaking of "hats", I have a question. You always wear a knit cap on your walks and Ian did too. I thought this was odd considering it was raining hard enough to COMPLETELY soak your clothes. The question is, "why don't you wear a waterproof hat". A nice waxed Sou'Wester Hat would be perfect for you...
PS, Love your videos. I watch them all...
When a grand concept for a photo isn't working go small instead. One can always do that.
It's getting that first image, once that's on the card then my brain comes alive and I start seeing compositions all over. It would be interesting to go out with a photo buddy as I've not done that before.
Henry are you going to the photography show this weekend?
Agreed! I won’t be there unfortunately 😩
@HenryTurnerphoto that is a shame, I'm looking forward to the talks with Nigel Danson, Thomas Heaton and buying some new kit. What a treat!
You guys kill me with how wet you are comfortable letting your gear get! LOL. I just upgraded from a Nikon D800e to a Nikon Z8 and I'm terrified to even get fingerprints on it! lol. I'll get over it!
A detailed Spider's Web looks so much better with a blurry landscape behind - Enjoying the walk (and Life) is the priority. Well WORTH it? - Sorry, Ian
Just curious, but could you not have made that shot of the large and small tree work if you'd got really close with a wide angle lens?
There’d have been too much sky in it then for me👍🏼
What cloth do you use to wipe the rain off of your lens? I've tried a few but they just seem to smear the water across the lens
It’s just a standard micro fibre but I try to bring a few with me 👍🏼
@@HenryTurnerphoto thanks for replying - do you ever wash them or just rinse them afterwards?
19:00 what if you got closer and went superwide?
Could have mate, there was too much sky in the frame for me with that option 😩
👍📷😎
What’s happened to your OM 5 has it been replaced or repaired.
I have it back now mate 👍🏼
Ahh brilliant I have a OM5 too. It’s good to see others giving micro four thirds a chance as it has many advantages out in the field. 😄👍
It's nice to get a decent photo whilst out and about, but not every walk will produce that opportunity.
Is that a Herdy hat on your head?
It is!!
