My dad makes tools do you need any for your next expedition

Hello Ian, its an odd thing to 'see' you here on TH-cam. This is a great video and looks like it was a wonderful journey ❤

can't find the tuts

I am definitely going to try that, excellent result.

Really useful video Ian, well done.

glad to see gandalf found more work after the lord of the rings was done.

this was awesome, would love to have seen how you went about this edit cause it looks epic! Cheers Ian!

Really useful Ian

Nice image, and well explained how to sort out the problem.

Unbelievable! Kind of beats my Chinese scenes. But my 3 Chinese set ups took 2 months of searching for the perfect props including the model getting her hair done with pearls and hair extensions in the Hanfu style from a Chinese hairdresser. And the model was Chinese as well. It was the small tea set that almost drove me nuts to find. It had to be Asian. I found it 2 days before the shoot at a non profit second hand store. It cost $15 and was from Vietnam. I think the real fun is searching for all the props and even more fun than the shoot itself.

I'm laughing at these. Love all of them. I've set up scenes and my last one was for an Irish laborer sitting on a steamer trunk with a pile of old suitcases and a wicker lunch basket waiting for a train in the train station. I used AI to get rid of the model's modern shoes and had it create workman shoes instead. Took 3 tries but the final result was perfect.

Great video Ian. Loved how you did this portrait. Mike was an excellent model!

Getting back into photography after a bit of a break. Your videos are super inspiring, love seeing all the BTS and thought processes.

Enjoyed that Ian from sunny Hereford. It's a little big mountain but the views are even bigger. For a simple one to ascend you get a lot out of it. Clear on your day. On a couple of occasions I've walked back via the base of the Westerly slope through the land slip. You reappear at the gate near the mossy wall. Well, good going. Mark

Well done Ian, so do you walk everything twice to get the walking footage or do you do it with a mate?

Nice one mate. Looking forward to seeing the Osmo Pocket 3 footage 👍🏻

Cheers mate. How - and where can I support this? You and the dogs both

Well done Ian, but I do think you’re going to need multiple pairs of footwear. You don’t want webbed feet 😂

Top job! Really enjoying these videos. That walk looked much more enjoyable than the previous one, how were the knees after?

Nice one Ian keep it up

Lol.. it's been ages since I have been up on Ysgyryd Fawr.. lovely little hill. The nice way to make it a circular is after the Trig Point start to walk back and after 100 yards ther is a path on the left. It will lead your around the north of the hill and back through the "gap" and a lower route through the woods.. lovely when the bluebells are out. Nice watch buddy.. keep it going. atb Al PS Just back from a little bimble with Bob.. nothing too strenuous as we are old men these days.

Great video, thanks.

Breathing out your ass ! - I know just how you felt mate. planning to take the same route here in 2024, but with photo equipment in the backpack as well.

Very good indeed. Great results

Beautiful ... Thanks for sharing your journey!

Great video! Thanks for making it and for sharing. I'll try this straight away. Like you, I prefer the the second setup with the gridded lights. Gez looks like he can't wait to grab the war hammer and repel the Viking invaders. Cheers!

walking through my fave woodland :)

We were parked in the same car park buddy. This used to be my route of choice when friends asked me to take them up Pen y Fan many years ago... I just love the fact once yo are up on the ridge you see the whole route ion front of you - when visibilty ios good of course...lol. That climb onto the ridge is now pathed, as you probably went up years ago also it never 8sed to be and it was a slippery scurry back then near the top. I remember me you & Gaz going to the Neuadd one day and then stopping off at Dol y Gaer - we saw a large raptor in the trees if I rememeber rightly? Listening to you saying you were struggling I am guessing you probably was route marchin it - when you was on Jacobs Ladder I probably would have still been climbing the 1st ridge..lol. I watched the mr truck going up the roman road so might have seen you also. I'll be interested to know what you have decided on the audio side - it's always a trail n error with me trying to find good audio - over the years I have tried numerous things with limited success. One thing I never think about is making sure I am sheltering the mic from the wind - something that will make your audio much better even with stupid lav mics. I look forward to the next one... as I know there is only one way for you to go and that is up ;) atb Al

STAMP on that microphone - it'll make you feel better! Will be following your journey!

What a view, look forward to seeing it again on a totally blue sky dry day :-)

Well done Ian thanks for showing us the tricky and difficult side of what you went through rather than a polished it's great and had a lovely walk that some do, I admire what your doing and what your aiming for keep up the great work.

Great video. Great journeys begin with one step!!!

You got this dude! There are going to be shitty days and there will be fantastic days, but thank you for sharing it all with us. Remember, this is still early in your mountain training and it will get easier. I've mentioned Chase Mountains as a good TH-cam channel for some training resourses, but I will add in Uphill Athlete and specifically their book "Training for the Uphill Uphill Athlete" as I have used it extensively with my trail running and it has been a huge help. Regarding a portable camera and mic set up, have a look at the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo. The camera is small, lightweight, amazing quality, comes with a wireless mic. It's pricey but is an all in one solution and takes much of the thinking and worry out of the equation. Good luck and looking forward to the next video 🙂

Get that man a Snickers! Good effort buddy, great to be able to follow along on the journey. I know you will absolutely smash Mont Blanc. Looking forward to the next episode. Proud of you mate 👊👊👊

The dog images, will be so much fun to do. Enjoy training for trip.

Hi just found your channel your work is really good and i like your style will be following. best regards Mike (Newport)

It's perhaps difficult to tell with TH-cam compression, and of course each photographer has their own style that is their own. But it looks to me like his cheek and forehead are a little blown out whilst his hands, which you have posed, are a little dark. So it's not a technique that would work for me, but I've never seen someone stack modifiers like this so it's always good to see something new.

Gorgeous lighting!

Hi Mr. Munro, I hope you're doing well. I really enjoy your educational videos. You have a great way of teaching. Thank you. Kind Regards, BRN New Jersey, USA

Tried the attached link, it didn't open your site.

This is the type of tutorial I have been looking for!

Excellent, good luck mate! I’m sure it will be an interesting adventure!

Very informative. Really admire your creativity.

Great idea will definitely try this, Just need to save for a beauty dish.

Good luck I will enjoy following your journey. Fantastic charity.
