Discovered your channel a few days ago and love it! I’m trying to get back into photography and it’s nice to watch tutorials but I also love watching things happen in a natural way. Love these vlogs! It’s like I’m walking with a friend while also getting good photo tips
Looks like autumn and winter have collided in dramatic fashion. Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since you started out as a pro and absolutely no reason why you can do another 5 years and more. One of facets of your channel I really admire Henry is you have grown organically and been true to your work. I would imagine there is a temptation to chase the algorithm but you also know the downside to that approach. You always come across as both passionate and down to earth which I feel really connects with your subscribers so keep doing what your doing and keep showing the beauty that your eyes and your camera discovers on your adventures
Henry i would love to see a vlog about how you store you photos ie how you back up your photo files and how you sort the photos if you keep all your pictures even the ones your not happy with
Hi Henry another great video. Great to hear your living the dream doing what you love for the last 5 years and that it wasn’t planned just happened but you definitely deserve it for all the hard work you put in to making your videos.
CONGRATULATIONS on your first 5 years in business! Best wishes for the next 10 years! I’m looking forward to watching all your future episodes! Thanks for taking me along!
Glad to join you on another "walk in the woods" with a bit of photography thrown in. You made a good point about simply enjoying the quiet, peaceful, "getting out in nature" part of this. And I too have tried a vertical square image vs. a horizontal one too. You're not alone there...
I purchased a point and shoot (Ricoh GRiii) for an everyday carry and to help me focus on things like composition and framing. I usually set it 1:1 and black and white. I’m constantly moving from landscape to portrait. So no, my friend, you are not the only one😂
Yes Henry!... yes I do!!! Going waaay back to my first camera in 1963 I rotated between 90 degrees for landscape vs portrait. It's been a while since commenting. Life demands and directions do distract us regulars. Your work is evermore brilliant. My wife and I visited Inverness area and hiked a bit... no memory of where. Scottish landscape beauty stunned us as permanent memories to treasure, even a midnight walk in a stockyard filled with cattle lit by a full moon. The steam rose off the beasties as the temps were near freeze level. Yo! Henry... I feel your work never misses a beat... and your B roll bits and camera stick, and tripod view for us to hear when putting up photo examples against a backdrop... this is absolutely top notch. True That!!! Old Sam... still walking working, shooting and playing music. Thanks Henry!
Cheers Henry, it’s Sean in Atlanta! Now I am really jealous! Not only is the UK the most beautiful place on Earth, you have snow! Great video, mate! I like your new jacket and you’re getting a little fuzzy around the chinny chin chin! And hey, I just ordered a calendar! Thanks for another great video! How is your OM5 doing??? Sean
Henry, The waterfall picture was really good. And I appreciate your tip about removing your lens cover before taking the shot. I loved the part about square cropping. You had me in stitches. 😂😂😂😂can wait for next week’s video. Cheers mate!
@luisfigueroa3300 Ah, people are spoiled nowadays with (D)SLRs! When I were a lad I've taken brilliant photos with the lens cap on my *real* rangefinder camera. 😊📷
Great stuff, Henry 👏🏻👏🏻 looked like you were having a blast and captured some great shots. Looking to have conditions like that myself here in New Hampshire in the states. Fingers crossed.🤞
Hi Henry, in my opinion, you passed up an amazing photograph just as you were going over the bridge!!! 14:26 The light on the trees with the house in the background!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hi Henry, another grand day out that seemed to go by in a flash. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how time flies, seems like only yesterday the D7200 took a bath too. A good tip from you on the "intimate leaf" shot. I made the same mistake as I got a bit greedy with aperture, trying to exaggerate the separation of the subject from a very messy background, and got part of the leaf ( subject ) out of focus because the useable depth of field was too shallow ( the leaf was at a slight angle, so at one edge it was outside the focal plane ). I'd just got a 50mm F1.8, after working with a kit lens, so you can see how it happened .. Lesson learnt! Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the next 5 years of your work. Definitely no Blandscape photograhy from you ;-)
I fully relate to having one image in the bag! Even if it's not the best picture ever it alleviates any stress associated with needing to get a good picture. That being said the first image you shared was spectacular ✨
It's always nice to see someone else get sticked to the same landscape. I passed by those rapids some 10 tears ago with an old Nikon and was fashinated how much of relatively unknown photo location there was in Scotland. By the way I was there for an orientering event 2015. Thanks for a good and cheerful channel
What an enjoyable walk Henry. Being a strong deutan I didn't really see the red berries on the rowan tree until you showed the finished edit, then I could detect then if I looked hard, I must miss out so much, but then you don't miss what you've never had. I loved the water drops on the branches photo.
I used to love photography. Mostly portraits and such. Then someone told me I was good at it and should try to make money with it. And so I began the process of sign😢up for the web sites to sell photos, making a fb page to get clients and trying to turn it into a business. For better lenses, subscribed to adobe to edit my images. A year later and a lot of money pissed away, failing to sell anything at all, I lost the passion for what I initially loved doing. At this point I haven’t even picked up my camera in a couple years. Recently though I’ve caught the bug again but this time, just for my enjoyment. And I’m really thinking I wanna try my hand with old film cameras.
You’re funny, genuine and honest. This makes your videos very watchable, entertaining and interesting. I have a question: why do so many people say that a certain f/ number changes with the format you are shooting? F/5.6 is f/5.6, it’s a lens thing, it only depends on the lens, what sensor you record the image on should not make a difference, so why do you say f/5.6 on a MFT camera is the equivalent of f/11 on FF? Oh, and that bumbag you are using, I just got mine after taking a hint from your gear list!
Thanks! The hip pack is brilliant. I just want to ensure people understand the difference in depth of field between systems. For instance, if a beginner shooting full-frame sees me using f/5.6 on my Micro Four Thirds camera to focus on the foreground and achieve everything in focus, they might try the same with their full-frame camera. However, when they review their image, they'll likely find the background blurry, which can be quite frustrating. It's important for me to highlight these differences to avoid confusion.👍🏻
Great video as always. South west Scotland has a lot to offer too. The Galloway hills, the coastal areas as well. It's a lot nearer to Morecambe...just turn left after Carlisle..☺
Next best thing to actually being there is watching your vlogs from Scotland Henry, you obviously love it up there as much as I do 🏴 Cheers for the book tip! 👍
Great to be treated to some Scottish scenery with a bit of winter thrown in Henry. Like a few others, i would have had to take some images of the snow covered bracken infront of the Rowan tree (and probably in a square portrait orientation😂). Bet the 5 years have flown by as you always come across as enjoying your work.
What a beautiful walk, though I'm not quite sure how you managed to get out of there without stopping for all those beautiful snow-covered ferns (or was it bracken?) especially at the point where you captured the yellow leaf. 🙂
I also like those intimate shots of leaves: and flowers, fungi etc. & depth of field is crucial & on windy days focus stacking is a no no! Nightmare 😂! Looks a nice area to explore. I usually go to the western highlands: Assynt & Westeross & Knoydart etc.
It's an awesome calendar thank you 👍📸🗓️ there are 5 photographers I follow religiously but you were my first discovery and will always be my favourite 👍📸 what you said about being there through your eyes, I really appreciate as these days I am more of a roadside photographer due to mobility issues so thanks for even mentioning that 👍
The other thing about using normal walking/hiking books is that you are more likely to get original shots. If you use walks that are based on their photographic interest, a lot of the shots will have already been shot. That being said, it is still cool to take photographs from popular area and putting your take on that composition.
Another great adventure Henry. Great to see you back in Scotland (God's Country) A very interesting location to explore. Great image's as usual. Catch you on the next one.
Another great mini adventure, is it just me, or was the tree lit up on the dark background (frame 22.24) not as interesting as it looked on the video ? 🙂 Keep 'em coming mate.
Thanks for taking us with you to what you refer to as your heaven. I sat here struck by all those beautiful sceneries (is there a plural to scenery? IDK), and yes, there are people watching who are not anywhere near the Scottish Highlands. Although I wish I could one day go on a trip to this amazing piece of Earth. The other day I received your calendar, it's wonderful, and I can't wait to put it on my kitchen wall so that I will see one of your great photos every day. Could you please tell us where you got that woollen hat with the sheep from? I want one too! At first I thought it was handmade but it has that label thing. Oh, and have you used the 7-14 pro lens already? It seems you carry that heavy glass with you a lot but never actually put it on the camera. Cheers from Berlin
Thanks so much for the calendar purchase!! I bought that hat from a touristy shop in the Lake District, I am sure you can get it online somewhere. The brand is "Pachamama" 👍🏻
Hi Colin, thanks for the comment. It is important that you try to build an audience somehow, that is all I can say from my experience. Perhaps find a way to show the story behind your images somehow, perhaps here on YT.
Hi! The sensor size affects depth of field. On a Micro Four Thirds camera, the sensor is half the size of full frame, so you double the f-number to get an equivalent depth of field. For example, f/5.6 on MFT gives the same depth of field as f/11 on full frame, just like you double the focal length to get the equivalent field of view. Hope that helps!
@@fiizzy3884 Just remember that it only affects the equivalent depth of field, the aperture f number stays the same, so a photo requiring f/5.6 on a crop camera will still be f/5.6 on a full frame camera however the picture with the crop camera will have more DOF than the full frame camera. Oh, one more thing, if you change the focal length (zoom) or change position (foot zoom) so that the picture from both cameras is identical then the DOF will be the same! It can all get a bit complicated! 🤯

You’re missing the beautiful ferns with snow on them! They would make wonderful images.
I was thinking the same thing 😀
I agree
I bet he's taken some but not put it in ha ha like you I'd have been getting the frosty ferns 👍📸
I was thinking it the whole walk, but never took the shot. Next time!!

Absolute class, thanks a lot mate an dI hope you enjoy it!
Henry, thank you for sharing your journeys and adventures.
Cheers Terry
Hi Henry another great video. Great to hear your living the dream doing what you love for the last 5 years and that it wasn’t planned just happened but you definitely deserve it for all the hard work you put in to making your videos.

Love the pictures, the boundless enthusiasm, and your love of nature.
I love the wee adventures you take us on plus I've learnt a lot from you regarding my photography,another great video

Great video Henry.
Lovely snowy scenes.
Well done.
Thanks for the top tip [@16:11] - I'll try to make sure I always take the lens cap off before releasing the shutter from now on 🙂
Yes Henry!... yes I do!!! Going waaay back to my first camera in 1963 I rotated between 90 degrees for landscape vs portrait. It's been a while since commenting.

Excellent location Henry, what a fantastic walk and the snow gives it a great atmosphere. I also like the square crops. Love it.
Thanks 👍
Cheers Henry, it’s Sean in Atlanta! Now I am really jealous! Not only is the UK the most beautiful place on Earth, you have snow! Great video, mate! I like your new jacket and you’re getting a little fuzzy around the chinny chin chin! And hey, I just ordered a calendar!

Love the frozen landscape. I've only been out in sub zero once in my life. I must go explore some mountains in winter.
You should!
Hi Henry, I do love your highland adventures, as the resonate with me as i am up there a few times a year, it is a special place
Thanks mate

It's supposed to snow a little in "my" mountains tonight. Hope so. I always try to get up there when it does.
Congratulations on your 5 years may there be many more, some beautiful photos Henry 😍

Another top video Henry and the photos amazing as ever 👌📸 I thought of you last week when snow was forecast 😅 your trip to Scotland timed perfectly 👍
Thanks 👍
I was in Garve at black water falls at Halloween. It’s stunning
I also like those intimate shots of leaves: and flowers, fungi etc. & depth of field is crucial & on windy days focus stacking is a no no! Nightmare 😂! Looks a nice area to explore. I usually go to the western highlands: Assynt & Westeross & Knoydart etc.
I hope there will be plenty more years of living the dream after the first 5, and that you will keep sharing ..... Kind regards, Guy.
Fall and winter is a great combination to be photographing!
It's an awesome calendar thank you 👍📸🗓️ there are 5 photographers I follow religiously but you were my first discovery and will always be my favourite 👍📸 what you said about being there through your eyes, I really appreciate as these days I am more of a roadside photographer due to mobility issues so thanks for even mentioning that 👍
Fabulous day Henry
From Florida thanks for the videos. Amazing, totally amazing.
Thanks for watching!
Love the video, love the images - but my body was twitching so hard trying to get you to turn and climb down to explore images of the falls... :)

If you use walks that are based on their photographic interest, a lot of the shots will have already been shot.

I read that as “boots” and didn’t understand!
Square landscape….square portrait… love it 😂

That last shot is a gem henry
Thank you! I was really happy with how that came out
I have been there, nice location, there’s a good place further down from the bridge on the side you started on.
I'll have to remember that for next time!
Hey man. Ive been trying to sell photos on my Square Space but nobody has bought anything yet. Do you have any advice? Colin,
Hi Colin, thanks for the comment. It is important that you try to build an audience somehow, that is all I can say from my experience. Perhaps find a way to show the story behind your images somehow, perhaps here on YT.
thanks man. Ive only got a slideshow on my page and somewhat of an audience on the Next Door neighbour app. But Ill try and work on that. Colin,
Halfway in the vid. I'm wondering what's the gear you are vloggin with Henry?
Hiya! I am using the DJI Action 4 👍🏻
Great vids mate, Its Friday night, got a drink with the video!! Amazing time!!
That bridge looked very skyrim
Definitely!
All square shots look better in portrait. (Or diagonal)
Need to try diagonal next time
I am not certain life is ever planned. 😂
