Always enjoy a good waffle. I find it's always worthwhile taking a shot you don't think will work. To many times it turns out better than you one you thought was a guaranteed stoater... plus you always learn something.
Haha yeah that happens a lot, a shot you think won’t work ends up being the best one lol funnily enough the one right at the start that i cocked up I actually liked the best as the light was a bit softer and you could see less of the clutter under the water, so you’re bang on
Haha! Never knock the 10-stop! I think they looked good, especially the last one with the posts in the sun. But then I’ve always been a sucker for a long exposure shot. Looking forward to more about the gallery and business side of things too.
I barely use it round here Julian, I actually really enjoy using it for pure minimalist stuff though the landscape isn’t really like that round this way, I’d have rather the water just been a bit choppier it was that annoying inbetween state, neither one or t’uther.
The Lakes really do have a certain look during winter with that low hanging sun ... beautiful and as you say not a bad spot to stand and have a gander ....
Hi Stuart, such an enjoyable watch as ever. Completely agree about enjoying photography. As a hobby l find it just adds to my love of the countryside. Cracking images as ever. Cheers.
I can't see Scafell Pike now without thinking about our gentle stroll up that way ending at 1am and a lost hoodie! 😂 Great to have that on your doorstep, especially at the moment. Like those crisp conditions
Nice images Stuart and it looks like you had a couple fab days weather wise. You're right about photo snobs. I'd say two things - Firstly you should take photographs for yourself, that you enjoy. Secondly, Joe public like photographs that mean something to them such as "ah yes that reminds me of my visit to Wast Water". They are not interested in the technical side or if the location has been done to death. Will check out your newsletter. Cheers.
Cheers yeah I think there’s a danger that a lot of photographers get wrapped up in the process and the shot itself and forget to just enjoy the actual participation aspect and just being outdoors
another cracking video Stuart, those a fantastic shots, especially the last shot where those pink shone through, looking forward to the news letters :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this Stuart even as much as the last one but for totally different reasons. Not going to jump down your throat as we have had some snow - just not in my local area and too far to travel under lockdown which is just typical !! Anyway enjoyed this for the no nonsense straight forward talking - I’ve been out many a time , enjoyed the outdoors and taken some lovely records of the trip, images I’m happy to print and hang on my walls so totally agree with you 💯 Great film and I’ll sign up for a bit of that art that is the written word !
I think we've all been there, Stuart, so you're doing a great job of making us all feel better, in that we're all human and we all make mistakes. Like you, I tend to be more of a reactionary landscape photographer, but I wish I just instinctively knew what location, local to me, to rock up to and shoot when the prevailing conditions are either this, that or the other. It's one of those skills I lack and I wonder how I will ever learn them, especially as I don't have very much spare time in which to enjoy my photography. I think that's why, when I see the weather is predicted to be like this, I rarely go off and shoot, because I don't know where I should be heading to, to make the best out of the conditions. I just can't motivate myself to go out and find a spot, as I suppose I foresee myself driving around aimlessly and by the time I stop somewhere the moment has passed, or I've chosen the wrong place to stop. The question is, how do I get past this obstacle?
Cheers Ian, it’s certainly a tough one especially when time is constrained that’s for sure, it’s a cliche answer but there’s no real shortcut other than painstaking scouting of your local area. Before going full time I spent endless hours (and still do, probably even more so now) in particularly poor conditions logging and recce’ing places in order to exploit them when the conditions were favourable. There’s no doubt it can be a tough ask in terms of motivation though you’ve just got to trust and have faith in the the process.
@@StuartMcGlennon , in the past I have been out and about to recce various locations, though I think a combination the time of day and time of year I chose to visit was probably all wrong, not to mention visiting when the weather conditions were far from ideal too. I think that gave me a blindness to whatever potential might be there and I dismissed it rather than logging it to review at a later day and decide what the best conditions would be, what times of the year to go and what time of day would be best. I mean I've had some success, but I can probably count them on one hand, which isn't a great rate of success to be honest. I think this is an area where I've identified a definite need for some guidance.
Refreshing cheery vlog in beautiful Wastwater. I like the honest way you are happy to feature your “ rookie errors” , it’s a great way to teach I think. And I totally agree with your unpretentious “ photograph what works for you” advice.
Great to see some stunning locations :) I am having to make do with 10 mile hikes around Barnsley to try and find something photogenic ;) I have found the odd gem to be fair and am praying for some more snow and mist so I can revisit a few of them.
Like that viewpoint Stuart from that end of the lake, nice bit of colour rewarded you at the end .Definitely agree about photo snobs and gear snobs . Cheers Rich
My favourite lake Stuart, which I only get the opportunity to visit occasionally. You’re so lucky to have it close to you. What a cracking day. I loved the back lighting on The Screes. Did you take a look with the long lens? Scafells looked superb in he snow 😊
Thanks Kev oh for sure having this so close is a blessing, to think before photography I'd barely even visited Wastwater lol I did take a few long lens shots on the details of the screes though the more interesting parts of that fell are probably better shot from further back up the lake, if I had a 100-400 that would have been just the job from where I was stood, think I'll deffo be investing in the Z version when it's released
@@StuartMcGlennon I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 100-400 Z as well. It should be affordable. I never got round to owning the F mount 80-400, and will look forward to using it
Conditions are ok when you live there mate and you get the week to go out. When you only get a weekend and the weather is what it is you don't get to pick. Plus we can't drive anywhere at the moment so it looks like your lucky that way as well driving ten minutes to get to that amazing place lol
Well I’m certainly fortunate to live here and be so close that I don’t have to travel much that’s for sure (but then I’ve never suggested anything else), but it’s not fortunate that I do it for a living, a huge amount of graft, skill and personal sacrifice has meant I can do this for a living successfully. I ‘get the week’ because of that.
We are not aloud to drive at all here police stopping cars 🙄 its got yo be hard full time but at least you get the chance to balance your going out days 👍 I thought about it many times just can't take the risk just now.
Long time since I've been up to Wastwater. I have booked 2 trips up to the Lakes so very tempted to drive over that way. I never seem to get still water in any lake :-(
Another cracking vlog mate, makes me wish I was up home watching it though! Completely agree about 'photography snobbery' as well, shoot what makes you happy! All the best,
Your camera on the tripod out in the middle of the water made me a bit giddy! Perhaps I'm not brave enough to get the shot! Another fab video and great images, as always
Thanks very much 👍 I use Kase I’m a professional partner with them. You’d struggle to find a bad filter these days though I think quite a few brands have passed Lee now
Beautiful colors in this opening drone footage. Was this straight out of the dji pocket 2 or Air2? Or did post help? I’m in the market for a simple drone so just wondering/recommendations for a new user. Oh, and looking forward to the newsletter.
Thanks the footage from the drone is pretty much out of the camera in terms of colours using the HDR mode, just had to bring highlights back a touch. The pocket 2 any bits to camera are untouched - you can of course grade both from a d-cinelike or flat setting though I’ve found especially with the drone the HDR mode does a great job you’ve just got make sure WB is set manually and not auto. The pocket 2 for pieces to camera is fine on auto though can be a tad oversharpened out of the camera.

Enjoyed the video. The light in the last shot was beautiful!
Thanks Jeannie
What stunning views Stuart! Your shot at 4:20 is awesome. An absolute pleasure to watch this video.
Thanks Terry very kind of you 👍
Yeah I feel your pain...must be frustrating looking at those views 😉 Looked a great day out mate and a welcome change from the books!
Aye it’s a bloody pain but someone has to go and look at it .....😂 Cheers for watching

An enjoyable watch as always Stu and a mountain, lake and fence shot isn't boring if you don't have them nearby :-)
This is true!

stunning scenery! I'd love to visit the lake district someday. great video Stuart!
Thanks Brian 👍
Hi Stuart!
Amazing work and a absolute Dream,the Lakedistrict! (I am from Austria.)
Cheers Si 👍
Certainly beats sitting behind a desk Stuart, I will swap you...lol, nice vlog again & look forward to your newsletter
Haha cheers Geo yep it certainly does👍
Shoot for you Stuart! Great insight as ever and I wish I could get close to taking a pic as good as your "couple of average shots"
Cheers Drew you're too kind :-)
Nice images and nice to meet you at Wastwater tother day.
👍👍

Thanks Howard yeah I don’t mind highlighting an error we all make them now and again and as you say a good learning point for others if nothing else.
Lovely video. Nice to see a different view from that lake. Keep up the good work :)
Cheers Rob 👍
Lovely images Stuart - all of them - even the 10 stopper! You are so lucky to live so close to a stunning location like this :) Stay well sir
Thanks Huw haha yes it gets used now and again! Cheers for watching
Great to see some stunning locations :) I am having to make do with 10 mile hikes around Barnsley to try and find something photogenic ;) I have found the odd gem to be fair and am praying for some more snow and mist so I can revisit a few of them.
Cheers Dave I think the long range forecast into feb is more snow chances so fingers crossed 🤞
Like that viewpoint Stuart from that end of the lake, nice bit of colour rewarded you at the end .Definitely agree about photo snobs and gear snobs . Cheers Rich
Thanks Richard yes it’s lovely down that end of the lake and gets a lot less traffic from photographers
Excellent, was wondering what locations are like further up the lake! Great shots especially the fence one 👍👍👍
Thanks Will yep plenty of stuff to go at up this end

Tough one to get calm conditions at Wastwater, nearly always choppy!
Nice one Stuart 🙌🏼 A good introduction to a part of the lake I've lazily not explored, thank you 😊
Hi Jen yep well worth a look and great views of those two big lumps

Thanks James yeah I'll do that a lot, as long as it's firm underneath it's all good
Stunning views, vlogs just keep getting better Stuart. Lee or KASE filters?
Thanks very much 👍 I use Kase I’m a professional partner with them. You’d struggle to find a bad filter these days though I think quite a few brands have passed Lee now
@@StuartMcGlennon I've been using the magnetic Kase filters for the last few months, think they are really good. Easy work flow.
Yeah the intuitive design of them is excellent, they’re a company which really listens to customer feedback which is great
