  • I was in a bit of a RUclips rut more than a creative rut. Re-thinking why I spend so much time on these silly videos and only a handful of people watch them anyway. It just pissed me off that some kid plays with a toy and his dad edits it in 5 minutes and gets a billion views... LOL.. So I was having a little bit of the RUclips Blues...
    What has this all got to do with my Autumn photos and an old camcorder... well I had a little whinge in this video, but by the end of editing it.. I was cured of my RUclips blues... I'm back baby.
    I probably do need to just buy a new camera / toy... Oh the irony
    I went to Auburn Gardens again and the old camcorder footage really played well into the story line.. I thought I took some of my best photos so far this year.. and I got to say.. (sorry M43) but I think Full Frame is better.. some of those miniature toy effect photos really stood out.
    Thanks for watching... I say I'm going to take a break but then comes the weekend and I get the itch to take photos and edit videos.. LOL

    Key phrase, you were just 'having too much fun' with the video camera. That's what makes great videos. Don't feel the pressure, Rob. Just keep doing what you do.

      Thanks. When I got home and started editing I looked back and realized the whole point is to have fun and be creative. That's why I took up photography in the first place. Speaking of editing.. trying to match 1080 with 720 footage is a nightmare lol 😆

    Don't worry about the number of views Roberto, you like it and we like it! Do it for the enjoyment, then everything else will naturally fall into place . That red bridge is certainly eye-catching but I did like the tree and the reflection in the pool. Nicely done.

      Yeah. I talked my way out of it in one walk. Lol.. my ego creeping in but it's all fun and games. I was really happy with these shots. Trying flares. Some worked. Subtle flares work better

      I think I went down and up in one walk. Haha. My blues lifted after I got home and I was happy with the results. Got to remember why I got into photography in the first place.

    Wow, what a roller coaster of an ep! Glad to see the uptick towards the end. "I think I'm having too much fun" . . . The perennial agony of the artist. BTW personally I think you do great work. The section on the bamboo graffiti opened up some great possibilities. Gave me goosebumps thinking about it. I'm glad Jerry is keeping you focused (no pun intended). Take care of yourself (and Jerry).

      Thanks. Weird medium when it goes from low res to the hi res photo. Yeah I was thinking of movie ideas.. the bamboo lost years lol 😆 my ego got the best of me thinking about all this RUclips crap.. one good photo and my spirits lifted.

      Thanks. Made my day that comment. 😆 It's a different experience filming with camcorder. Kind of feels free and you have permission because people can't make out why I'm using an old camera. I love that look

    From what I've seen from youtube content creators, slow and steady wins the race . Dont stress numbers ever and continue to craft work that makes you happy and fullfield. Your numbers will continue to rise, and even if they dont (which i doubt), you're still making and sharing quality lasting memories. There is a creator i like in the community that had a slight spotlight put on them, and you could tell the next following (many) videos was to increase that spotlight only to fall flat. It became a channel that wasn't creating its roots anymore.
    Slow and steady and have fun. The algorithm does the rest, lol.
    Edit: Great video, by the way. I like the 90s look, lol

    • @robdido
      @robdido  4 месяца назад

      Yes. Wise words. The whole process from shooting to editing is the real reward. Coming up with fun ideas is the challenge but that's what is great about photography. There is always something to strive for. I should make a 90s mtv music video lol 😆
