Henry, never apologise for showing your authentic self. I for one don’t see staged, I see a man who has found his true passion and wants to share that passion - for photography, for the beauty of the outdoors and of the natural world. That passion shines through every video. Keep doing what you so obviously love doing and we’ll keep watching.
Really appreciate that Steven thanks mate :)
I agree 😊
When you’re no longer affected by such beauty, Henry, then you’ve lost what it means to be human. Every I time I go out with the camera I’m blown away by the beauty around me; I’m 62. 😊
Agreed!!
Good for you, sir. Cheers.
Do you know what keeps me coming back to watch your channel week after week ? I could say it's the lovely scenery , I could say it's the photography tips , I could say it's the shared experience of feeling like I'm on the trip with you , and all of those are true , but the stand out thing for me is your honesty , integrity , passion , all rolled into one .... no pretentious bull , no prima Donna look at me I'm the best , just raw enthusiasm and honesty , hi , I'm Henry Turner i love hiking and taking beautiful photos , come with me .... I love that , your passion is very evident , showing your emotion instead of hiding it , whether you're feeling great or feeling jaded , it brings a reality that others lack .
We all know from our own experience that sometimes it's not the perfect photoshoot , the weather , the light , the journey, fatigue , etc all conspire against us , content creators that only show the cherry on top and not the whole cake with the slight burnt base , they're lacking a bit in integrity in my opinion , or maybe integrity is not the right word , maybe authenticity ?
I like the way you tell it how it is ! Keep being you . 👍
This says it all . Only thing to add is that I agree . Memorials belong in a grave yard . Not in the wilds . Or at sides of roads . Glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this .
Totally agree! I’m sorry for peoples losses, but your memorial takes away from the natural beauty of a place. We all have losses.
Maybe when you loose someone you’ll have a different opinion.
A few memorial’s here and there is nothing compared to the erosion and litter left me many.
We know you well enough to know that’s not staged…just a tangible passion for the natural world. We’re also not fans of memorials…everyone was loved and admired by someone!
I’m not a fan of memorial plaques either, although they are the least problematic when it comes to stuff like that, much worse are flowers left in plastic bags, the flowers eventually die but never get removed, I’ve also come across people leaving cards, soft toys, mugs and the other day I came across an a4 laminated Christmas message to someone’s dead parents stapled to a tree in the Peak District.
I often go out with camera and never take it out of bag, it used to annoy me but it doesn’t bother me now, enjoying the walk is all that matters.
What we leave behind is not engraved in stone but woven into the hearts of others.
Henry totally agree about the plaques. I too live in a beautiful area of the UK and constantly see memorials being put up in woodland and attached to trees which infuriates me. My father recently died and loved these areas. As a tribute to him we scattered his ashes in his favourite place surely a much better way remember our loved ones
I totally agree with you regarding the plaques. I don’t mind seeing one which records a tragic incident such as a plane crash etc. However I cannot walk along the seafront where I live without more and more benches appearing with plaques on them. In my local park there are remembrance benches throughout. Two of them are always covered in bunches of flowers, nobody can or would sit on them. I go out into the countryside, park or seafront for my own mental health not to constantly be reminded of death. We all have our own tragedies to deal with without seeing others every few steps. I can visit a graveyard for that if I’m so inclined.
Anyone who watches you regularly will know how passionate you are, and the emotions you show are real and never staged. They are also very infectious, and you have certainly inspired me in my short time in landscape photography. My special place is Norfolk, it's beauty often makes me stop and I get a lump in the throat, especially when it's time to go home. As for memorials, there's a place for them, but far too often they are of the kind that just leaves a mess after. Plaques are ok, to a point, a park bench or the like, but not out in the wilds.
Your'e doing a geat job for us Old Fellas by taking us to places our bodies wont let us go to anymore. You're a great bloke thank you.
Totally agree regarding the memorial plaques.
Human beings make a big enough mark on this planet already.
I'm very conscious when I'm out in the wild to leave no trace.
Why would I want to leave one when I'm dead and gone.
I can understand family and friends may wish to remember and mark a place they know was special to you in life but there really is no need.
Like you said, you will never know as you'll not be here to know it see it.
Bit morbid maybe but I see death as part of life.
It comes to us all. We really need to make the most of the time we have and do the things we love while we can 💯❤️
100% agree with you on the plaque issue. It’s becoming an ever increasing issue and not just in areas of wilderness. It is entirely selfish on the part of those that place them. A view or beauty spot may well have had a meaning to those commemorated but it could also be special to hundreds of others for a variety of reasons. Placing a plaque effectively stamps ownership of feelings for the area.
Videos like this one are why I continue to follow you, Henry. Your emotional investment and love for what you do drives you. Thanks again for the inspiration. I'm grateful for you and your channel. 🙏
Thanks a lot Tim that means a lot, I appreciate the support you have given me over the years - it does not go unnoticed 🙏🏼
Another great one Henry. I agree that memorials are not ideal in places like this. Who exactly are they for? The person being remembered, or the person doing the remembering? Why do they need this here in order to remember them? Can't they remember them without it? It's certainly not so the rest of us can remember them, because despite having their name, perhaps age, whether they liked it here or not (etc), we didn't know them, will never know them, so any memory of them is void. I'm not trying to be mean or cause offence in any way shape or form, but in reality, all it does is spoil the unspoiled for their own (selfish?) reasons without caring anything about those who follow. Please people, stop doing it!
The best memorial is to leave it as you find it, thanks for an excellent video.
Couldn't agree more!
Ahhhh, loved this video mate! Thanks for taking us on the hike. And damn, I know this feeling when you just get overwhelmed by being in the moment in breathtaking surroundings. This is exactly why I'm drawn to countries like this... I actually moved to Norway for this very reason. Thank you once again, and agree on the plaques, too.
Ahh nice man, yes Norway is fantastic, I need to get back there and explore more!! Thanks again mate
In addition to loving your beautiful photography, I love that you are not afraid of showing your passion and honest emotions. There is something so stirring about nature and I can totally identify with your emotional reaction because I often feel overwhelmed by the stunning scenery and conditions all around me. That’s why nature and landscape photography is my favourite genre. I totally agree about the plaques, etc. One of the first “rules” I learned when I started hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains close to home in Alberta, was “leave no trace”. I would be mortified if someone left a plaque commemorating me in nature - I would comeback to haunt them!
Your passion is infectious dont change
As an eighty year old I just love getting out as time & opportunities are not in abundance.... value your time & enjoy whatever moments you can get.. thanks for sharing you adventure Henry.. cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😀
As my father used to say "Take me as you find me" you show who you are, and what matters to you. I am with you on the memorials, keep the place special for all who have still yet to pass, and for those that have. As you said where would it end.
Henry thanks for showing that your just a normal person who has a passion for what nature has created and loves to capture it not only in image form but in his heart aswell 👌👍
I appreciate that!
Photography is emotion, Henry, simple as that. ❤
One of the most important rules of landscape photography… sometimes the best photograph is right behind you!
I get the emotion having cycled through Scotland doing Lands End to John O'Groats.
Every hill we crested on the way through was breathtaking.
Such a beautiful country ❤️
Dare I say but this is defo one of your best videos yet Henry. The emotion, and just you being you is such an inspiration to anyone who ever picks up a camera and decides to share what they find….I personally would love to be in your shoes and bring such joy to all your followers. Forever great full to everything you post on here, keep them coming💪🏼👍🏼
You beautiful human Henry! Anyone moved to tears by the mountains truly appreciates the amazing places we live. (Photos were stunning by the way!)
Sir, like you I was totally blown away by Scottland. I was stationed at Holy Loch in 1986 and with camera in hand shot everywhere I could. I will return as part of my retirement. Also, on the subject of "this doesn't belong here!!" One Bazzillion percent agree with you. As any hiker can attest, there is too much graffiti, destruction, and far too often artist rendering in nature on trails. Mother Nature should be the only artist out there and we should observe it by only leaving footprints afterwards.
I'm a 64th swiss guy andAt the age of 17 I traveled 3 weeks to Scotland. Since then I have made other trips like New Zealand but I still have in me the emotion I felt when I discovered these Scottish spaces. I keep my fingers crossed to be able to return to this country one day. I understand the emotions you feel. 2 days ago I was at the "col du feu" certainly the place is less wild near Geneva but the view of the mountains with a constantly changing light made me whirve. I could have spent hours looking at this landscape and finding subjects but I was not equipped enough for the cold and snow. This video reminds me of this day, it's another story. I don't know if you will read me to the end but thank you for these emotions. See you soon Henri.
This was great to see your passion for the outdoors. Over the years I've had similar emotions from time to time. I pray you never grow weary of what drives you.
We have Churches and cemeteries for memorials of our dead loved ones. Another thing leaving flowers at certain places still wrapped in the cellophane which does not rot away. Rippons made of manmade plastic tied on trees, use cotton if you must!
I'm vehemently AGAINST plaques of any kind like that. You're ABSOLUTELY correct that if everyone were to do that, you'd have an atrocity on your hands FOR SURE!!
Henry, Amazing as always. Your emotions are who you are, never apologize for that! That is what we all love about you. How could you not be chocked up at the magical beauty of pretty much anywhere in the UK. You are blessed to do what you do in such a spectacularly diverse landscape. Keep it up.
Great video Henry. It didn't looked staged in the slightest it just shows your passion and appreciation for what you do. Keep being real mate 👍📸
I appreciate that!
Thanks for being so REAL. Your emotions are raw, true and honest and they are what make you such a phenomenal photographer ❤
Thank you so much!!
You don't have to apologise to us, because we have been watching your video's for a long time and see the passion that you have.
You deserve to be successful with the amount of hard work you put in to make your video's.
I enjoyed the video as usual.
I know you love Scotland, but what's not to like.
Great image's as usual mate.
Wishing you all the success in the future.
Thank you Henry for being a living inspiration for us. It's always a pleasure to hear your story and watch your adventures.
Thanks so much for the support, really glad you enjoy my adventures!
There is truly something special about Scotland, I cried the last time I left, it’s pure emotion. And nothing wrong with showing emotions.
The best thing about landscape photography, is being in the landscape.
Different for yourself of course, but my camera gear sits in its bag for weeks between outdoor adventures. So, while I enjoy photography, it's what I am photographing that really matters.
You would probably find some Highlander ancestors in your Family tree😅. Just by watching I can very well understand your emotional reaction. It's such an archaic beautiful landscape.
I think it’s beautiful that you get so emotional looking out on this wonderful planet. I’m also happy that you got wonderful conditions and had time to not only enjoy the hike but also time to sit down and take it in. Today was the first time I took my camera out. Lately I’ve been feeling quite down, but the weather was beautiful, so I did a small hike and enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you for this video, it’s very inspiring!
I totally agree about the memorials, if i have an accident or pass away while im out and about i don't want a plaque or roadside shrine. Like you say if everyone did the same it would be quite messy.
Quality yet again Henry, great images and a lovely video. Never apologise for showing true passion, those that follow you know you wear your heart on your sleeve 👍🏻
I probably would have let you walk on without me. I’d be happy pottering around by the river finding all sorts of things to photograph. Still, when there’s beauty all around you I’d possibly join you in taking in some of that scenery and I’m in my 70s! That beauty is what gives you the absolute emotional experience. It shows in your superb images how much you enjoyed this walk. Doubt if I would have made it over those rocks! Wonderful natural video, Henry! Keep them coming, it’s getting colder here in Oz.🇦🇺
I think there's a time and place for plaques. In a manicured park, installing an extra bench as a tribute to someone who volunteered at the park is a win for everyone. The deceased gets recognition and public gain facilities. I've also seen some mounted on precarious cliffs where hikers were lost which seems appropriate. A little history, some recognition, and a warning to others to watch their footing.
Another fantastic video Henry. I was born and raised in Scotland and the beauty of the north Highlands affects me in the same way. Going back up for two weeks later in the year so must remember to pack the hankies. Have bought your ebook which is going to be invaluable. Thank you for sharing your experience, emotions and wonderful photography.
Good to see some-one getting into the mountains and seeing the reason why they are so very special. No need to apologise for tears of joy and happiness at seeing these landscapes. If you can inspire someone else to appreciate what we have here, then that is good.
Great video of a great walk to a great summit.
I'd send you a personal message asking for details of how to book the cottage, but it's sure to be booked up years ahead now that the world knows that it's in such a stunning location with such excellent weather...
One of your best Henry, hats off mate x
Henry - your passion is intoxicating! Never apologize for what you bring to us all. It's from the heart and truely inspiring. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work. Cheers mate!
I appreciate that!
I absolutely love your passion Henry; never lose it. Thanks for such a great video.
I appreciate that!
I live my photography through you. I am no were near fit enough to attempt the smallest of hike due to illness. 3 friends took me a few years back and they took my small bag and pulled me up the hills and one Mountain in the Mornes. I was broken for days after BUT I will never forget that day spent with friends with wonderful views.
Never say sorry for being you.
. .Henry your passion and emotional connection to the mountains is as it should be. As someone who hikes a lot and also tries to do photography i love the outdoors. keep doing what you are doing. Another great video. Danny
I've stayed in that bothy a couple of times but they've tarted it up inside from the last time I was there! A great area to hike and some fabulous hills that get overlooked because the giants of Torridon are so close by. Enjoyed the hike and the photos. I'm ambivalent about memorial plaques. Those two were small and unobtrusive but you are correct; if every hiker/climber had one they'd be everywhere! Personally I think the bothy might have been a better location for a memorial - epecially if they'd put it on a donated seat!
One of your best videos, as a Scotsman living in North Essex I do miss the mountains, I going make you a honorary Scotsman for your passion for a beautiful country and pronounce loch correctly.
Wow, Henry, I'm not surprised there is nothing wrong in showing your emotions I wish more men would do what you have including me we men tend to hide our feelings. Well done.
All I would want is for someone to hike up to a special place and enjoy the view while remembering me. Perhaps add a little stone to a cairn. I'm not in favour of plaques in wild places. It would be like everyone picking the flowers in a city park; there would be none left!
You know it when a place speaks to you, very special.
Hey Henry. You've definitely live past lives in Scotland. There's a soul connection that seems to go beyond a simple appreciation of the beauty. There's lots of beautiful places on this planet, but when one feels "home", then there's something deeper. 👍🙏
Absolutely stunning, Henry. Thank you!
I’m so happy for you Henry! Keep up the fantastic work. I’m looking forward to your book.
Did I hear that right? A physical book? Hellll yeahhh!
And Henry, please don't apologize for being genuine. Always looking forward to your videos, for your photography but also for your authentic self! You're an inspiration to many of us.
Thanks!
You bloody legend! Good on you man💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I’d rather have my ashes spread in a favorite local like this than have a plaque
Man!!! I can't wait to get there this summer. After it's been so long on my bucketlist. Already planned a couple of locations from your eBook.
Thank you for letting us join you on this beautiful hike and truthful thoughts and feelings. Very recognizable on many levels, about embracing the moment and nature, being open for the unexpected and and the sheer beauty of the Scottish Highlands (I've been in the same region last year and can't wait to return to it, with or without the camera).
I'm exactly the same as you now at 70. And, thankfully now I'm aged enough not to care one whit what anyone thinks. But politely. 1) [The Plaques] There is to be no trace of me when I have left the trail. And certainly not some plaque glued to a boulder. 2) [Tears] The hand of God upon the face of nature is always a caress. Then, you and I come upon his work... alone or in a group, so very natural to cry, I know I do. In my Sierra Club Era, at or just above the tree line, a dozen of us out of 20 stood like a band of daft Meerkats wiping our eyes with a hankie. 18 years old, 52 years ago, we looked and each other with teary smiles standing silent where the hand of God still caressed His earth. Long live the Fells, great to be back home!
Henry, you're one of kind... Love your passion and I get when you experience beautiful places that it takes over your emotions. Also, when your love is also your job it will definitely give you mixed emotions. It's ok to feel like that, your human... I get uninspired and then... I watch one of your videos and its back again... Thanks for that...
Great video Henry.
The landscape was amazing.
Great photos too.
Henry, mate. Just want to thank you for showing emotion, passion and all that hiking and photography means to you. Cheers from the Pyrenees and if you get here, It just be an honour to hike together and meet you. You are real, so keep going on. Cheers!
Personally don’t mind tributes of love in a natural space, makes it interesting. Like it or not man leaves his mark everywhere, just like the bothy you went to. On Dartmoor there are a couple huge slabs with passages from the bible inscribed in them. Also there is a tribute to one Nigel Duncan Ratcliffe a war hero at lydford (I did a video on it) and it’s beautifully poignant.
Great following your journey Henry, I’m a big fan of your photography
There are times when we all need to stop, get off the treadmill, and just appreciate who and what we are and how we fit in with our natural surroundings. Deep breath, smell, listen, hear. Cleanses the soul, it makes us who we are. Thanks Henry.
God bless you, Henry. You are a wonderful human being and a very talented photographer. Thanks for sharing another of your adventures with us.
Epic video Henry photos were amazing with the landscape, it’s good to show your emotions as it makes us connected to our surroundings and nature which is an awesome feeling 😍
Honestly, being emotional about a place is not uncommon. As a soldier, I would come home from a combat deployment and break down when I landed and the feelings were very overwhelming.
100% mate just had a 4 week break from photography and now enjoying it more and getting some great images
Thanks Henry, lovely video…….like always, you inspire me to get out into the hills and explore with my camera.
Another class video Henry, full of passion, emotion, self expression and a love for the beautiful outdoors. Thank you for sharing with us, truly inspiring and thoroughly enjoyable to watch!
Great video again.
Such a legend. Never apologise for being human. Thank you for sharing your love of Scotland and photography.
I agree with you about the plaques. If anyone were ever to commemorate me, I would want them to make a donation to the upkeep of a beautiful trail or spot, or an organization which takes children or the handicapped out to the spot.
A landscape must be really special and beautiful if it will make you cry.
Thank you for sharing your joy and inspiration, as well as your appreciation. Cheers.
Just want to point out the irony of an air b&b add half way through your video probably charging a couple of G's for a weekend and yet you could stay in that Palace of a bothy for nowt! 😂 great video as always, you made me well up and I wasn't even seeing what you were seeing! Keep up the good work my friend, you're a true inspiration 👊👏😁
Henry, it is exactly that... your passion for Scotland, for your photography, for the landscape... and we are the ones who should thank you for allowing us to accompany you on your many journeys to places we will never be able to see in person. To see the depth of your feelings is so special... to see just how much you love the places you take us and yet you still lug your gear and make the extra steps back and forth to allow us to feel as if we have hiked it with you. Thank you Henry! I am forever grateful for you and your passion and enthusiasm for sharing what you see each week! Hugs Henry! A most appreciative follower in central Mississippi, USA.
Thanks again for another inspiring video H👍🏻. I totally agree with a couple of points you made. Walking somewhere for the walk or walking somewhere to take photos. I think of as them as taking your camera for a walk(photography) or walking with your camera(walking). Secondly is having an emotional attachment for the superb, glorious locations you find yourself in. I've not walked in Scotland but plenty in the Lakes. Some days the views have stopped me in my tracks and I could have kissed the ground I was standing on! Keep up the great work and making Thursdays special 🙂
Henry, you are a true jewel in the crown of TH-camrs. You take me back to my love of the high mountains of the Continental Divide of Wyoming and the times I spent there. Your genuine emotion and willingness to expose your feeling is a rare and beautiful gift. Never stop being who you are.
I know how you feel Henry. Just the sheer joy and thankfulness for the beauty of the Colorado Rockies and how lucky I am to live here sometimes brings tears to my eyes. I think that's why I love your channel so much. The energy, passion and love you have for photography and outdoors is awesome to see.
The uniqueness of each photographer and his or her artwork is what makes channels as yours stand out Henry, and when you add the passion of feeling your way around with each trip, it is a complete circle in creating every image with those feelings that come through the images. A natural state of being! 👌👌😊😊
Great set of photographs Henry. A great location I recognised the Croft you was staying in as I have stayed there many years ago.
Great Video. Thank you Henry.
Really appreciate that
😮👍🏼🙏🏻
The ultimate fanny pack 😋
Thanks for the video, you really helped through Covid lockdown and i enjoy your adventures outdoors. It inspires me to do more adventuring myself.
I don’t care about random structures in the wild unless effort was put in to make them look good. I also don’t care about graffiti on public property if someone actually put time and effort to make a good piece of art.
Hi Henry ... another great video. Always enjoy your videos. You take great photos which I think are fantastic but it's always been as much about the places you go and the banter on your walks that I enjoy as well as the photos. I remember when I started watching your channel that I commented that I never go out to take photos, I just go for walks and cycles and always take my camera with me and always take lots of photos. I know it's a bit different for you because it's your job too, but I have seen a gradual shift in emphasis towards enjoying the day more as opposed to the pressure of capturing an image. (And your photography hasn't suffered as a result). The addition of MFT to your quiver and less faffing about with tripods has also helped. 😉
Keep up the good work. 😊
You're such a genuine guy, a real pleasure to watch, I really enjoy your channel because of your honesty and authenticity.
I think the thing with the memorial plaques, it's probably done by the families of those they have lost, and they draw comfort in the fact the memorial is in the place their loved one was most at home. If you go to places where people have died on a mountain, there's usually certain memorial spots, with crosses up and various memorials tied to the crosses. It's just one of those things, death is hard for families, they don't usually think, oh, this is going to litter a beauty spot, they would think, my loved one loved this spot, I want all the world to see the significance of said person memorialised in a beauty spot. Just a different perspective to chew over 😉. Thank you for your hard work in producing these videos, so we can come on your adventures with you
Absolutely agree with what you say.
It is a true joy to be out under the big skies. We're so lucky to have this wonderful landscape. Really refreshing to see you and Ian moved by what you see. Thanks 👍
on the point about memorials I think unless its to note something that happened in that place like a battle or historic event, I think we don't need them in wild. For memorials to people i find it better when they put the plaque in say a visitor's centre or rangers stations etc where there is already man-made structures to fix them too.
Love your emotion Henry. Clearly heart-felt. Not every day a scene moves you tears, but when it does… Man, it's special!
Its a privilege for us to see such a passionate video Henry. Hats off to you for sharing your emotions and showing this.
Simply stunning scenery.
The bothy reminded me of a shot you once took from insde that featured on the cover of one of your calendars if i am correct.
