Great tips. "Make a photograph, don't take a photograph" is probably the best tip I ever had. Love the picture at 3 minutes and well done for getting a 14mm shot from a 24-200mm lens. 😊

Thanks!

Oh man that last tip is awesome especially coming from you when you first started out. You would use it all the time. I love the fact that you have grown past the need for it. I used to use it all the time and have found that the only time I want to pull it out is around water. The actual need for the tripod is so much less if you have a good camera that is great at higher ISO’s.

Nice job Henry! Thanks for sharing your experience! And thanks for taking me along!
@terrymartin4489
Awesome video. I love all of the shots you take and it is amazing how you really pull in the foreground and entice the viewer into paying attention to the little things as well as the vast epic views.

Henery, Regarding Golden Hours, they are great and offer very unique photo opportunities; but, like you I have found there is always a good image available if you look and are creative. Plus, midday offers a different set of conditions that you do not get at the Golden hours… I will take them all. Like you said, images are everywhere, but artistic photograph comes down to good compositional technique, purpose and the photographer’s eye. Remember, a good photo is one that the photographer likes! The creator is really the only standard…. The rest of us come along for the ride. As always, keep snapping! Loving your work and content…

Hey Henry! Serious question for you (and maybe a video idea): When you go hiking in the mountains, scouting a location or something like that, how do you orient yourself to return, especially after sunset? Do you have some kind of GPS watch or do you follow open maps blindly? Thanks for you videos! you rock!! Cheers!
@2akashdas
Very educational and entertaining as well. Love the video.
@erichbrunner6157
Good video. In my opinion the tripod tip is not "controversial" at all. That is just a matter of preference. I like them. Others hate them. You do you, is my thinking. What was controversial was suggesting that people go to the top of mountains during sunset. That means that they have to descend in the dark. (unless they pitch a tent and spend the night to get the morning as well win-win). That kind of hiking requires experience. So, if you are going to hike in the dark; at least bring someone along until you have the experience to go it alone. Just a thought.

I had the pleasure to see the grand canyon years ago when I had a film camera and looking over the amazing landscape I found it difficult to capture the landscape that was before me. I took so many rools of film but could not do it justice, now that I have a wide variety of digital cameras and lens I would love to go back one more time.
@ianforber
I always take a decent travel tripod, not least because I do a fair amount of IR photography but also because my camera doesn’t have image stabilisation. Talking of kit though, that bag suggests you’re carrying quite a lot. I’ve stripped back to one camera, one lens and a few filters, with the camera often clipped to the backpacks strap unless it’s raining v heavily. I’m more interested in a bag that lets me take first aid, food, clothing for layering up/down. Thoughts?
@timrosenburgh8597
Helpful tips as usual Henry. Some cracking view's on your journey apart from the clag. Look forward to the next one mate.
@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection
You looked very trending there Mr T 😊 nice video, what a stunning location. Keep well.
@bn5055
A common mistake beginners make (not helped by manufacturer marketing) is that you need a wide angle lens to capture "big views". In fact they just shrink big views and you lose all sense of scale. Wide angle lenses are good for landscape for exactly the reason in your first tip - they accentuate foregrounds and skies. If you want to capture a "big view", use a longer lens and make a pano!

Ha! Pea soup don’t you just love it! Was up Yr Wyddfa 2 weeks ago in pea soup and high winds which then turned into heavy rain with high winds, with a stupid heavy tripod. I’m also on the hunt for a much lighter tripod that can take my camera. Love your videos Henry.
@ColoBeauPhotog
Your energy is awesome! First video on your channel I've seen, definitely earned a new sub. Man, I need to backpack the lake district!
@owenjones-wells9395
Good video. I use my heavy tripod for long exposures and night imaging (including astrophotography) only. When I started out I used to take it everywhere, but at almost 3kg it becomes a pain to carry with you. I now take a monopod on all hikes. I can use it as a walking pole when walking and to stabilise the camera if needed. Can also be used as a heavy-duty selfie stick if I so desire.
@scarcesense6449
Great tips, energy and self introduction on this one. Feels like a good candidate for a pinned video on your profile page!
@malcolmtrinick71
The tripod conundrum, do you-don't you. It is absolutely as you said Henry, the individuals choice. I have certainly lessoned my tripod use. Long hike = no tripod (use IBIS). Short walk = tripod (possibly). A tripod automatically slows me down when at a location. So if I'm shooting something specific, no time constraints eg a waterfall, then I'll always take my tripod. Great tips, makes me want to get out into the mountains again!
