I loved your two part series on Route (A)66. The stills are amazing. After seeing hundreds and hundreds of uninteresting and cliched landscape images, yours are fresh, dazzling, and beautiful. Your Turner-esque sense of the beauty of the light is what sets your images apart. richard -- To say to the painter that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player that he may sit on the piano. - James Abbott McNeill Whistler
Fantastic photos, always hard to pic a favorite, but...Man...that shot @3:55...Stunning! 👌 Great vlog once again Mr. Craig, with excellent music and humor as well! Cheers!
My neck of the woods here. You can always capture something wonderful. Liked this video. To help with battery life in cold weather, buy some 2 inch wide black elastic, sew it into a circle large enough to fit around your camera body then buy three hand warmers...the type you snap to release heat...hey presto extended battery life in extreme cold weather....works every time for me so hope it helps you guys.
I’ve said it before you are the best blogger(photographer )on TH-cam, the use of the different aspect ratios in the OM system the NOT having to chase sunrise and sunset just great compositions with superb light ,thank you very much and happy new year 👍
Well, this is it, I've almost seen them all. This roadtrip was rather unique. Thank you for that. I will now start longing for new ones. Anyway you already taught me to have a kind of "composition eye" wide open everywhere I get. Merci beaucoup.
When the weather gives you lemons, make lemonade. Spectacular. I grew up in California and traveled Rt 66 many times. I enjoyed your view much more. Cheers!
Hi Craig, another brill vlog. Your images of the Workington coast in the stormy weather were fantastic and your ( perhaps surprised) excitement shone through. Always look forward to your postings. Many thanks, Gary
You have a great eye for a good composition. Workington appeared very bland, yet you have captured some very inspiring images there. The 'Route 66' certainly has some very worthwhile scenery and photo fodder ! Thanks again.
I found your images of the water on the coast to be so simple and compelling. It made me feel as if I never really saw the ocean as captured it. Wonderful.
Loved your shots. From the videos some of those I won't have seen if I were in the area. Wish I had your eye. Loved the ones that you opted to do in B & W. Those were spectacular. Thanks for doing the videos.
No comparison your 66 is far more wet, windy. colder & shorter than the other. Oh there where no one with 6 guns trying to shoot you! That has got to be a bonus. Love your work an wit thank you.
I loved your Route 66 Craig. I think wild weather always produces some great opportunities for shots. I hope you pick another Route and do something similar to this. With your added humour its great.
My god I'm sure you can make anything look interesting. I love looking at your pictures for inspiration. I just got to get out there more and shoot. And I find you really funny you got some great wit!
Drove along part of Route 66 years ago (on the way from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon) and it was 103F in the shade - a bit different from your jaunt. Another inspiring video and I think, some of your best ever shots. That coastline is amazing. May you have a safe and happy 2018 and keep the videos coming - definitely the most enjoyable photography channel on TH-cam. Regards from Downunder.
Hey Craig, I was thinking the M25 might have something to offer.... But then you would just be going around in circles! Seriously though, loved those coastal shots. That one of the cliffs and rocks in the foreground was awesome. Thanks as usual.
Brilliant Craig as always. Castlerigg Stones I got very frustrated with, spent a whole week there trying different times But the place always had bloody people sitting on the stones!! no matter what time of day. Eventually through a hissy fit and gave up going else where. As you can see I'm well named. Lovely shots and video. Jim
It does look like you have enjoyed the trip and quite a trip it looked like, wonderful places. The photographs are fantastic, especially that first one with the waves, it made me pause the video for some time. I like your style.
Epic episode (Loving this first roadtrip serie). Again raising the level for 2018. T. Heaton should watch & learn ;-) (hehehe... just kidding him, no competition of course). What a great sunset you finally took : Portrait format, sunlight, moody clouds, sea and a slightly motion-blurred wave. You nailed it even if it remains a cliché in your words. Happy new year everybody!
As always a beautiful video with some gorgeous shots, very enjoyable indeed. Happy New Year Craig and thank you for all your wonderful videos last year, they never failed to inspire, educate and with your wonderful gentle humour amuse.
Love looking at your work. You are truly a master at landscapes. Bought a some cheap filters from Amazon and will try my hand at some of your techniques. For the quality fo your work and blogs, you are undersubscribed. Got to get that readership up Craig. All the best that 2018 has to offer.
Wonderful vlog Craig - superb images as well. You have an amazing eye and imagination - the way you map the scenery into the frame never ceases to amaze me. [I play the game of "What would I shoot?" and then see your crop and it's like face palm time for me... ;-) ]
I agree - I often see Craig waxing lyrical about something or other that he's seeing and I'm thinking, "what's he on about now? I can't see a picture there"..... then he produces something very special to show us. A magician! Really enjoy the quirky humour too. Happy New Year, Craig.... keep 'em coming! (and the A66 is FAR more interesting than Route 66, though it could do with a few more coffee shops).
Lured me in with the title, kept me with the nice shots and windy, cold, rainy weather I can only envy.

I'm too modest to agree with you Gary! But thanks

5:35 Ben Nevis, Snowdon. :D Nice landscape photography with right amount if entertainment.
This west cost part of England is very beautiful even with the stormy winter weather. As always great images Craig. Cheers.
12:52 - great one!
I fell in love with photography waiting for a train at workington station four years ago.
I can say only WOW!
When the weather gives you lemons, make lemonade. Spectacular. I grew up in California and traveled Rt 66 many times. I enjoyed your view much more. Cheers!
Hi Craig, another brill vlog. Your images of the Workington coast in the stormy weather were fantastic and your ( perhaps surprised) excitement shone through. Always look forward to your postings. Many thanks, Gary
All credit to your persistence. A superb video.
Outstanding Mr Roberts. Love it.
for me this is one of the most interesting vlogs you made so far. good job Craig
You are a superlative craftsman! Thank you!
Hiya Craig. Just to say thanks for these two vlogs (Route 66). Thoroughly enjoyed them, and some lovely images. All the best.
Love that last shot.
You have a great eye for a good composition. Workington appeared very bland, yet you have captured some very inspiring images there. The 'Route 66' certainly has some very worthwhile scenery and photo fodder ! Thanks again.

Thanks Glen
Brilliant with a great sense of humour, liked it a lot.
Thank you Craig. Enjoyed the journey from my study with your relaxing presentation.
Awesome as always Craig. That image at 12:51 is simply superb.
Happy new year Craig...and anyone else reading this ;)
Likewise :-)
Brilliant video Craig and top notch images. Thanks for taking us along😊👍
Stunning photos Craig, particularly of the coast at Workington. Another inspiring video - thank you.
Some more great shots from another good vlog along Route 66 👍
Wonderful photos throughout. Especially the stormy seas series.
Having lived on Route 66, I would say yours is a bit wetter, but they both create great opportunities. Great stuff!!
Love the vid and love a good storm too. Great pics and commentary. Thanks
Great idea route 66👍
Great vlog, love the Britains route 66. You've made beautiful pictures.
outstanding images and a wicked sense of humour. never ever change :)
Lovely shots
An excellent series of videos, look forward to the next.
I find your Route 66 much more interesting than the one here in the States !
Loved your shots. From the videos some of those I won't have seen if I were in the area. Wish I had your eye. Loved the ones that you opted to do in B & W. Those were spectacular. Thanks for doing the videos.
Wonderfully scenic route and some great images made by you. Enjoyed, thanks.
Stunning shots Craig. Love your work.
Love this video. Great humor and great photography. Keep them coming
You re the boss !
Excellent shots, great video as usual. Love the overal format.
Awesome pictures - great job as always, and thank you for taking the time to make the vlog.
Absolutely brilliant, especially the seascapes, made entirely of a moment in time. Thank you!
Your talent to find compositions out of nowhere is unique. Have a good year!
No comparison your 66 is far more wet, windy. colder & shorter than the other. Oh there where no one with 6 guns trying to shoot you! That has got to be a bonus. Love your work an wit thank you.
I loved your Route 66 Craig. I think wild weather always produces some great opportunities for shots. I hope you pick another Route and do something similar to this. With your added humour its great.
Outstanding work Craig 👍🏻
Another excellent vblog. Superb images and presentation. I think I prefer the British 66 by a long stretch.
Nice move from Thomas Heaton suggesting your vlog.
I like you both!
Keep up the good work.
Epic!
My god I'm sure you can make anything look interesting. I love looking at your pictures for inspiration. I just got to get out there more and shoot. And I find you really funny you got some great wit!
Loved these videos and images. Great work. Thank you for sharing.
Outstanding! Thanks, and I second the request for settings...
Great idea about the Butler, I might get one myself 😆
I think I would have liked to see more places along the way and maybe you could do the trip in more parts.
Nice photos, and what stunning locations!
Another great video Craig, just starting out in photography, and learning so much, thanks.
Great video, just on my doorstep, classic cumbrian weather, fantastic moody shots on workington shoreline.
Happy New Year.
Many thanks
John

Fantastic as always! The dark and moody shot of the tree on the water's edge is truly SUPERB! Happy New Year!
Cool project Craig, definately gonna give it a go sometime, great to see you dealing with whatever the conditions threw at you lovely images.
Bit of luck. Bit of persistence.
