- 3 Mistakes that make you look like a beginner ...
I go for a hike outside my new home and find the British weather to be very unpredictable when out on my landscape adventure!
If you know about these issues, you will start to take much better photos than you have taken in the past.
Here's a link to a write up on this video: www.mikesmithp...
Just in case you are more of a reader ...
I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer on location landscape photography!

Apparently I talk to myself ... and my camera when the conditions shine through!! 😆
I hope you guys enjoy this week's video! 😁👍
Nothing wrong with self talk. Unless you're cussing yourself/others :)
My GAS just made me buy a canon EF 70-200 f2.8 L III..
now its telling me to buy that PD Capture Clip you're using. Ever used it with a canon 5d type dslr? dunno if i'd trust my 70-200 on it, but my 24-105 would be nice i think.
cheers
@@xXUnrulyXx haha, nice! That's an excellent lens and can produce some amazing images.
With the capture clip, it has a hard bit of metal at the bottom so it physically can't slip out unless you've been strung upside down in a Wampa cave on the planet Hoth.
I'd be comfortable hanging the 5d with the 70-200mm on it, you might just have to turn the collar to one side though. That's what I do with the 50-400mm.
👍
You are the man! The mere reference to Beavis and Butthead proves it 😄
Haha!! Thanks very much Andres!! 😆😆😆
0:06 That is a really smooth transition!
Thanks very much! 😁👍
It’s good to see you out and about, Even in the rain
Thanks so much William! This was such a fun hike, even when the weather did close in. 😁👍
I love your videos because they are so real, funny, and informative for everyday photographers. Thank you!
That's great to hear Winifred! They are a lot of fun to write film and edit and I have plenty more to come!!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Welcome back....Mike.
Myself also returned to photography after longtime.
Hey Ravi! Fantastic to hear from you!!
I hope you are well my friend.
It's good to take a break from time to time. 😁👍
Great video Mike really enjoyed the whole composition, editing, music, advice, and photography 10/10 as the teacher would say.
Thanks Chris!
Gotta watch those teachers, a dodgy bunch!! 😆
Great video Mike. Your enthusiasm is infectious. I have learned so much from you, and your messages are always applicable to me. Cheers.
That's great, it's always fantastic to hear my videos are helping!
Thanks for watching Michael! 😁👍
M8 that's absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks very much Boris! It was a fun hike to do! 😁👍
Terrific videos Mike. Well worth staying out to get that last series of pics in this one. Lovely photos. Cheers
Thanks so much Kevin! You're right, it was well worth staying out for that glimpse of sunlight!! I was so stoked when it did do its thing!!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
10:35 YOWWzzaaAa! Loved the light in this one. Foreground has such a hard contrast and just pulls you in the scene!
Glad to see ya back on. Love the locations you always go to. Need to pack my bags. 😛
Ah yeah and ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little Beavis and Butt-Head. 😂
Thanks very much Harrison! The light was insane as it came through ... and it only lasted about 2 minutes ...
Definitely worth planning, packing and hiking whenever possible ... I'm looking forward to a lot more hikes this autumn!!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
The GAS thing is truly something that one should try minimize I agree. I started with a pre owned Nikon crop sensor camera and worked my way up to a pro system. Most viewers wouldn't even notice when seeing the images... and I felt way more creative with my trusty ol' camera
Most definitely Gary, "I think you shot that with a crop sensor camera" said no one ever! It's all about the thought behind the camera and not the price of the kit! ... although I do struggle at times when a new bit of kit comes out!! 😆
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Super video, thanks. An enjoyable way to spend a bit of time in your company!
Thanks very much Nick! This was a fun one to make!!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
He's back!!! 🥳. Loved this. Your enthusiasm and genuine love of 'on location' photography is what sets you apart from the rest and brings me back time and time again (well, that and the notification from RUclips! 😉). Great to see you doing what you love and do best! Would you consider your A7iv a prime example of diminishing returns over the A7iii? We all love the allure of new kit though I'm guessing as a professional photographer yours was mainly (possibly?) based on 'needs' and not 'desires'. Or not?! I am not remotely interested in the new Fuji X-H2 (more for the video user) or the X-T5 whenever that comes out. I think I'm happy where I am for now. The mountain huts are very plush these days! A far cry from the ones I used to visit in my youth - however, you'd think they'd move away from those 70's corner sofas though 😉😂 Great work, great video and thanks for the entertainment 👌🏼
Haha! Cheers dude!! It is great to be back!!! ... also great to know that the youtube notifications are still working well.
There are some good upgrades but they are relatively small compared to the A7iii ... the biggest one is the focussing system. For moving subjects it is fantastic and well worth the upgrade but for landscapes, the only advantage is the higher megapixel count which isn't actually that much more when it comes to actual image size. I've got a "Vs" video coming soon on the differences for landscapers and what I think after using both.
I got it for the video functions but if I was just a landscaper, I would have invested in lenses.
Haha! The 70s corner sofas are all the rage these days ... like the 80s looking clothes teenagers seem to be wearing in the UK!! 😆😆😆
Great advice, Mike. Avoiding GAS is so difficult though. Loved the opening though, I would love to visit you if that was your real house. Stay safe out there.
Haha! I had fun with this intro! If anyone was watching me at that hut, they probably would have thought I was going a bit mad going in and out of it so many times!! 😆😆 If only it was that comfortable inside!!
As always thanks for watching dude 😁👍
This was a fun watch! Thank you!
That's great to hear, thanks so much Pavel! 😁👍
Always love your videos and get inspired to go out and shoot! Great timelapse in this one 👏 my fav qoute goes "date your camera...marry your lens" 🤣
Haha! That's an awesome quote!! I might have to steal that one!! 😆👍
Great to hear I am inspiring you to get out and shoot.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Great storytelling in this one, like the attention drawn to thought processes throughout.
Thanks so much Tim! I had a lot of fun making this one.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Welcome back to the UK, stunning scenery. Looking forward to more from you 👍
Thanks so much Sue, it's great to be back and living here.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Awesome video! Thanks.
I was just expected a kind of “conclusion" or at least a “bye bye” at the end. But anyway, thanks again.
Thanks for the feedback Gabriel, I'll be sure to add something like that in future videos.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Cool video thanks for sharing
No worries, thanks for watching 😁👍
Good topic. Ive been on a rut lately and i need to ger back on the saddle. Thanks
Cheers dude...Sucks when you're stuck in a rut. A Break really helps and then finding something you really want to shoot after that ... sheep photography got me back into it!! 😆😆😆
@@mikesphotography haha looks like you guys are having fun. Got covid yesterday so just been resting up
It's been an interesting year ...
Ah man, you got the Rona, take it easy buddy, lots of fluids, flu tablets and some cough medicine at the ready. 👍
Great film!
Thanks very much Peter!! 😁👍
Great vid and tips. I treat my camera like some folks do a pet dog. I feel I have to take it out for a walk on a regular basis. Or is the camera taking me for a walk. Either way it’s always great to get outdoors
Haha! That's a great way to look at it. 😁👍
Loving those moody monochrome! Personally think clouds make better phones than boring clear blue skies.
Thanks so much Dermot! I completely agree. Love days like this where it is unpredictable ... It's amazing how quickly things can change.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
I love buying hear but u agree. Imagine spending that money on travel instead... ✌🏻 Nice to see a vid from you again, Mike.
Haha! I know exactly what you mean...the struggle is real!! 😆
Thanks very much David, it's good to be back.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Great to see you back, brother. I hope everything went well with the move and that you guys are settling in to your new place. You certainly have some fantastic landscapes in your backyard. I agree with all of these mistakes. As a matter of fact, I am kind of a subject matter expert in them. Who know what the future holds. Take care and I am looking forward to more.
Hey Steve, thanks very much!! It's great to finally be settled in and editing some more videos together.
I'm really looking forward to getting out this autumn, especially when the colours start to change!!
I hope you and the family are good! 😀👍
Some great shots and epic pano's Mike 👍
I'm not actually a million miles from your location, as I inadvertently followed one of your tips about spending my cash on getting to locations rather than buying new kit.
4 priceless nights in Rhayader for me and the wife, and tonight looks to finally offer a few clear cloud free hours during the new moon so I'm off to Elan Valley later🤞
A few hours of astro in the darkest skies available in the UK.....it's almost like I planned it 😜🤣
Haha!! It's always great when a plan comes together! 😁
Elan valley is such a great location for photography and especially astrophotography ... My parents live in Aberystwyth so really close to where you are at the moment.
Good luck with the weather later on, I hope you get some clear skies tonight. 👍
Hey Mike, i'm surprised that you still owns an a7III!!!! I think it's a rarity in the youtuber world... where you always have to show the latest equipment, that honors you and your work.
Thanks very much ... Although I do have a confession to make ... I got sucked in to the marketing hype ... And bought the a7iv recently ... 😆😫🤦🏻♂️
The struggle to not buy new kit is always there ... It's an addiction in photography 😆😆
@@mikesphotography Really Mike?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mikesphotography so... when will we see it in your videos??
Uplifting vid and classic tips by a classy guy.👍 Love the “hut” bit - Airbnb “special”. One major tip was missing, though - not subscribing to your channel.😁 “Intermingled points” - nice! Avoid GAS, but look at my new A74!😁
Glad to see you back. Newsletter was a tad confusing, Mike - thought you guys had already made the move from Thailand back to the UK a long time ago.
Fav image is at 7:16, monochrome, layered. Cheers!
Haha! Cheers Paul! I had a lot of fun filming the intro ... luckily there were no other hikers about otherwise they probably would have been wondering why I was walking in and out of the hut for about 30 mins!! 😆
I always to forget to mention the subscribe, like and comment bit ... 🙈
That's good to know about the email. The first break I took was getting back from Thailand and the second break was when we moved into the new place. It all gets pretty hectic especially when the wife wants everything done instantly!! 😆😆😆 ... and I'm about done with collecting stuff from free ads, the furtniture shop and IKEA ...
The layered shot is one of my favourites as well ... it was amazing how the cloud line was so prominent and how the haze really gave separation with the rolling hills.
As always thanks for watching dude 😁👍
3:48 Hey Mike! Come visit Romania. We have lots of awesome mountains all over the center of the country. One of the mountain chains Fagaras Mountains can be traversed from west to east in around 5 days and you can camp almost everywhere. September is also maybe the best time to visit.I totally agree with you on traveling VS spending on new gear! :)
Thanks David!!
I visited back in 2019, for the motorbike race Romaniacs! Such a fantastic country that I'll be sure to visit again soon.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Romania it's an amazing country. one of my pending trips.
Hi Mike, GREAT Video & Tips (Again !) . . . Haven't ever done any, So just wondering how many shots to make the First "Time Lapse" ? Thanks
Thanks very much Alan!
For a timelapse, I normally take about 350 shots. At 25fps in the final sequence, this will give you 14 seconds of time lapse footage. 😁👍
@@mikesphotography Sorry Mike, obviously a "Novice" question . . . but also meant to ask what "Interval" time between the shots you used to capture the Cloud movement ? THANKS.
In this video I did a 1 second interval, but it all depends on the speed of the clouds.
I did a video on that very subject a while back, check it out when you get the chance:
ruclips.net/video/D7lRvJdC3fg/видео.html
😁👍
Nice one Mike and some lovely images there. I'd be interested in knowing the location time stamp 3:52. It looks absolutely gorgeous. (Edit) Just realized, it's a location I was at last weekend. Should have gone to specsavers. 🤣🤣
Haha! Well at least you realized it before you finished the comment!! 😆
It's a great location isn't it ... I've hiked it a few times now and it gets better every time!
Thanks for watching Colin 😀👍
@@mikesphotography Yes it is Mike. I've been there several times myself but never from the vantage point you've taken. I did however manage to capture a lovely sunrise from the lake side a few weeks back after numerus attempts.
Awesome video! I agree with the lessons, as a matter of fact those were the lessons I followed from your earlier videos that have helped me so much to get to where I am with my photography, so thank you again!
Sony a6000 was great for me, specially on the fact that sony's eMount allows to use Full Frame lens, so transition to better/newer sony bodies was even smoother (although I ended up transitioning to fujifilm).
The timelapses were simply amazing by the way. Have been doing more lately, and wow they take long, and you feel the weather ever more 😅
The photo at 10:35 left me jawdropped!
Great to hear my videos are helping with your photography!!
How are you getting on with the fuji cameras? I hear great things about them.
Shooting timelapses definitely drop the core temperatures, especially with all of the standing around. A hot flask of coffee helps in those circumstances!! 😆
That image was one of my favourites as well ... and that light only lasted about 2 minutes so it was a rush to get them all without messing up the settings ... I didn't even have enough time to get my tripod out!!
As always thanks for watching 😁👍
@@mikesphotography I am loving my fuji cameras (X-T4 and X100V). I got into fujifilm because of options to have color/film profiles be created and saved in-camera, so I spend less time editing the RAWs because I can get the approximate look or actual straight out of camera details in jpeg.
It actually becomes quite an addiction to experiment with all of the options to make your own film look, or go to fuji x weekly site to implement the ones posted there.
Additionally the classic design of the cameras is very fun, I love the manual dials for everything, and most of their lenses have aperture ring too.
Yes, I have to remember to bring coffee and snacks to my next timelapse :D
My pleasure Mike! Always enjoy your work and you fun personality! Cheers!
Very good advices and beautiful landscape photos.👌🏻⛰️⛰️Awesome!!!😍Those photos are “feeding “the soul!!!
Thanks so much. This was such a fun one to shoot!
It is indeed feeding the soul that matters.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
yep, you got some shots 😍
Thanks very much Mehdi!
@@mikesphotography no, thank YOU 👊🏼🙏🏻
Just for the record I went out a week or so ago and took the best images of the shoot immediately on arrival, (that good they have been printed are are hung on the wall at home), I didn’t have to warm up my creative muscle or anything like that just went out with an open mind on what I would see/find when I got to the location. Too many videos about doing this or doing that, just get out and press that shutter, that first picture may be the LPOTY winner, remember the most important thing is to enjoy your photography.
Thanks for your feedback Martin ... It sounds like you're a natural. 👍
@@mikesphotography Haha, natural me? Not in a million years, still learning because as they say ‘everyday is a school day’
I’m watching this video in the middle of the night and it’s so exiting I can’t go back to sleep… I really need some endorphins ;)
Thank you so much Mike for this format!! Love it
Haha! Sorry to mess up your sleep patterns! 😆🙈 hopefully you can catch up tonight!!
Great to hear you are liking my latest videos! I have a lot more planned!!
As always thanks for watching Mohamed 😁👍
That mix-up had me wondering too... You'll need endorphins if you're not in shape for all that slope climbing/ descending. (In reality they are 'created' by our workouts and are the high you feel after a workout. It looks like they help us with handling pain.)
Nice phothography
Thanks very much! 😁👍
I have a nikon d3500 is there anyway I can take it out in conditions like this. It isn't weather sealed and I wouldn't want to wreck the camera. I have seen rain covers but they look rather cumbersome.
Those gloves you use and have listed in the description get mixed reviews about comfort. How do you find them?
That's interesting to hear Mark.
I've been using them for the past couple of months and they seem to be ok for me.
I probably could have gone a size smaller with the Milford gloves (the double layer ones), but the tinden are really comfy. We're going snowboarding in a month's time and I'll be wearing the tinden gloves for that, so I can break out the camera when needed ... And also will come in handy when drinking beers on the way down 😁👍
@@mikesphotography hi again. You've got the Bassdash gloves on the link. Do you use other ones? No mention of Milford or Tinden. Which ones would you recommend for photography use? I value your opinion. Thanks Mike and ATB for new year
Ah ... Oops ... For some reason I thought this comment was on my latest video, where I talk about the gloves I now use.
Sorry about the mix-up...🤦🏻♂️
I've been using Vallarret photography gloves recently and they area much better standard than the bassdash gloves.
The bassdash gloves are very much a budget glove but they are quite good for the price.
The vallarret gloves are more expensive but they have many different types for different conditions.
Check them out when you get the chance:

Talking to yourself is fine. There is a problem when you argue with yourself 😂
Have you tried a brolly? Wind is wind try Wellington NZ for wind
Your A74 is sort of weather resistance
There aren’t many other fools out in rubbish weather. Bad weather only bad dress
But rubbish weather is the best for drama. Rain brings out the colour. Blue days are yuck
I got this creek to follow, Waikato Stream off the desert rd in the central north island NZed
I suspect there are good size waterfalls in the stream. We’ll see
Maps, I got a topo map on my phone and I find it excellent, enough to get me out of trouble.
Just binging
Cheers
Haha! You are bringing indeed! 😁👍
I am a little envious of where you live though. We've been to NZ before and can't wait to visit again, such an amazing place to see!
The main issue with the wind is the audio when filming these videos ... It only has to be 15mph and all of a sudden you have to think about which way you face to not get a ruined audio track ...
I only argue with myself when I've had a few drinks...😆😆
Thanks for binge watching Paul. 😁👍
On Good Friday, I went over to Mount Vernon, and although the sky was relatively bland and not sunny, it had rained earlier (or the previous day but I can’t remember) which caused some raindrops to show on a lot of the garden’s plants. I can definitely agree with bad or mediocre weather bringing out more drama because some of those pictures I took were probably some of the best in my entire life. One of my friends even asked me if it was ai-generated because of how “perfect” they looked lol
nice intro
Thanks very much Kevin! I had a lot of fun filming and editing it together!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Just … thanks
And thank you for watching Laurent! 😁👍
