    My dear Henry...over these few years I've been watching you've become a Top Tier Landscape Photographer. Leave the self doubt behind. You've created more great work (especially the recent Advent series), given so much positive energy and advice to so many. You ABSOLUTELY DESERVE every blessing that comes your way! Enjoy!!!

    Henry, I am a 62 year old photography hobbiest, and your videos provide so much encouragement to me, and countless others around the globe. You're human, and not every day is perfect and not every photography outing clicks. But I know I can speak for every viewer you have, that we enjoy being part of your journey. Keep up the great work!

    Imposter syndrome is such a natural feeling for artists especially when you're on a new adventure like this one. I'm so happy you decided to take your talents to a new challenge in a new location. I love seeing you tinker with the scenes and find yourself through your natural expression! Well done especially on the seaside images. I absolutely love them! That sunset shot - pure FIRE! And NEVER EVER EVER apologize for expressing yourself and your feelings. That's exactly why I am enjoying your videos so much. You're real. And in a world where more and more feels fake, I greatly appreciate how genuine and honest you are with us!

  • @tessa2264
    @tessa2264 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +43

    Henry ... never change! Nowadays, on social media, so many people work so hard trying to be someone and something they are not. Your photography and enthusiasm are truly inspiring don't doubt it. Your videos are real and we can all relate to them. Keep them coming and don't be so hard on yourself mate!

  • @treacadelic
    @treacadelic 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    Henry. Question yourself as much as you like, but please listen to the answers coming back from your community. You're a fantastic photographer, a wonderful TH-cam video creator, and a thoroughly sound fella. Your effort and skill means you're fully deserving of being in your position.

  • @keefr22
    @keefr22 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    You never came across as being ungrateful Henry - what you did come across as is human. We all have down days and that is just, well, human! And the shots that you did get were, as usual, stunning - and as good, if not often better, than any of the other many landscape photographer's channels I wtch on youtube! Just keep being yourself, 'tis why we all love your videos!! Keith

  • @chrisparker5684
    @chrisparker5684 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    Hi Henry - thanks for your honesty. I think it's quite common for us landscape photographers to have real 'down' days. Try just taking it one day at a time, and don't put too much pressure on yourself to get great photos every time you go out. You're probably still pretty exhausted after your Advent series. You'll be back - as enthusiastic as ever!!

  • @fmurray4769
    @fmurray4769 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Henry, my heart goes out to you. Everyone has doubts and when these envelope what one feels most passionate about it can leave us with both mental and physical discomfort. You have been working so hard producing wonderful photos and stories you have not taken the time to sit back and appreciate the gift you have. You have great ability to embrace the challenges that nature has thrown at you. You don’t wait for the perfect conditions but you have shown me how to enjoy every photo opportunity using a little bit of lateral thinking. Remember that you can’t achieve everything in one day so pace yourself and enjoy life to the full and it will reflect in your photography.

  • @typhoon-7
    @typhoon-7 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +41

    Henry... Mate... Are you a good enough photographer?? Of course. We are all following and watching you wishing we had the vision, talent and dedication you have. The effort you put in is clear and the passion for the work is genuinely up there with the best on TH-cam.
    It happens to us all in our lives, those moments where you wobble. Then you went down there and got lost in the photography again when the waves were crashing in.
    You're an inspiration to me anyway so thank you for that. Keep your chin up fella. Loving your work.

  • @user-dy1pr3ms8i
    @user-dy1pr3ms8i 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Just seen this Henry . I get those feelings all the time . I call it discombobulation . It comes from being in new environment and disappears once I get grounded and settle in . I noticed once you found a niche your familiar with ,you were more settled and grounded . It’s all part of being human. Well done on another honest video and your photography eye and skills are top rate .

  • @christophergodfrey3009
    @christophergodfrey3009 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Henry, put that self doubt right in the bin. You have inspired more people than you think, including myself. You are truly good enough. You are an amazing photographer.

  • @ianbarnes1406
    @ianbarnes1406 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    To be honest, as someone who has been taking photos for the best part of 50 years, the quality of your photos is secondary to why I watch your videos. It's the locations, adventures, and enthusiasm you exude that keep me coming back

  • @devinmcnamara1026
    @devinmcnamara1026 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Henry, others have said it already, but you need to hear it a million times over.
    You're a top shelf landscape photographer. Period.
    Your videos are a huge encouragement and source of enjoyment to a TON of us hobby photographers.
    Not only do you take amazing photographs and have a really keen eye for composition and editing, but you make it REALLY fun to watch!
    Thanks for everything you do and the work you put in for all of us that ride along!

  • @LisaFrostPhoto
    @LisaFrostPhoto 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    You don't come across as ungrateful, just honest, and I think many of us really appreciate it - I certainly do. I've been having some moments over the past year wondering if I'm just not good enough to build a bigger audience on here. I've also had a lot of things come up throughout the year getting in the way of all I've wanted to create - thankfully none of them too big, but it can wear me down at times. But what I've realised (for myself) that my self doubts come up when I focus on things outside of my control - such as what others think of me. When I can just focus on the beauty and the creativity, all is well.
    I do think different landscapes, and conditions, can certainly influence our feelings too. Funnily enough, what comes to mind was my recent trip to the Lake District for the first time. Inspired by your video at High Rigg, my partner and I spent a day there, and had a fantastic time (thank you, as I'd never have visited without that video). Then the next day, because we were tired and needed something easier, we walked around Buttermere. The light was flat and grey all day. There were lots of people. I really just wasn't feeling it, and I think when we're away from home, we can put extra pressure on ourselves because we don't want to "waste" the opportunity. But not every day in life is going to be awesome. And that quote at the end of the video really summed it up. It reminds me of this poem by Rumi
    This being human is a guest house.
    Every morning a new arrival.
    A joy, a depression, a meanness,
    some momentary awareness comes
    as an unexpected visitor.
    Welcome and entertain them all!
    Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
    who violently sweep your house
    empty of its furniture,
    still, treat each guest honorably.
    He may be clearing you out
    for some new delight.
    The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
    meet them at the door laughing,
    and invite them in.
    Be grateful for whoever comes,
    because each has been sent
    as a guide from beyond.

    Henry, don't ever feel like you can't share how you're feeling. I love your honesty and realistic approach in every video. If you are selling a print of the colour photograph with the stack, I would love to purchase it. Keep up the hard work!

  • @malcolmreah7769
    @malcolmreah7769 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    This has to be one of the most enlightening videos you have put out henry, it is good to see the darker side of being a photographer, it is not all light and joy as i have found on some occasions, it was good see that you came out of your mini slump (for the want of a better word) and got back to your usual enthusiastic self and produced some fantastic images

  • @randyschwager2515
    @randyschwager2515 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Life is a roller coaster my friend! We all have ups and downs! I believe the huge mass of loyal followers you have verifies your ability and the coastal images you created on this journey were amazing! Top shelf photography! Keep doing what you are doing…and thanks for taking me along!

  • @AllThingsOcean
    @AllThingsOcean 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Hands down, one of my favorite videos of yours. As viewers, we can look at your life with envy, but when you open up about the not so great emotions in what should be a wonderful experience, it just shows that we are all human and can experience a range of emotions regardless of our surroundings - and that's ok. Keep doing you, we love it all 🙌 ❤

  • @saffylooloo

    We all love what you do and watching your adventures, you have just put out an awesome months worth of videos and i for 1 wish you could do them like that all the time buddy.
    You enjoy your holibob's and look forward to many more years of vid's

  • @briankennerley5833
    @briankennerley5833 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I’m going to very honest Henry, having watched and followed you for some time now, it might sound silly but this video will do so much for you and so many of your followers. You’ve excelled yourself over the advent series and have knocked it out of the park, by the looks of it the early part of the video , you need a much deserved break (or a good Cumberland sausage n brown sauce barm)
    I’m struggling myself at present and it’s the likes of your weekly videos, Nigel Danson’s, Mark Denny’s etc etc that keep me inspired. Mark Denny posted a bit of a heartfelt video recently, which was also very touching.
    I think as humans we are sometimes scared of showing emotions, especially males. But once we get things off our chests , life gets so much easier.
    Stick with it my friend as your images, enthusiasm and emotions are the reason why you are so respected in the landscape Photography/TH-cam genre. That’s something you can’t buy.
    Keep on going 👍🏻 and if you do decide to have a rest, you can’t have more than a week off 😂😂 we couldn’t cope.
    P.s need an update on your OM5 as I’ve bought one myself 😅😅

    @RussWeymouthPhotography 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I also get days where I just don't feel like it, either making a video or being inspired for photography.
    I've learnt not to force anything on those days and just enjoy exploring and being out in nature.
    Love the last shot with the warm atmospheric light 🌅

  • @johnallan1965
    @johnallan1965 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Self-doubt is a part of being human, sometimes as photographers we punish ourselfs with high expectations, The joy of getting good images is overwhelming at times, it's a part of who we are and what we do as photographers, another great video keep them coming,

  • @jimtipton8888

  • @bobkent007
    @bobkent007 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Sounds like anxiety, I get it when I am away from home and cannot explain why that is. Maybe as you said, the landscape made you feel more at home and safe. Sounds crazy I know, but I would guess you would not have felt like that if your girlfriend had been with you. I used to call it home sickness as people still do, but I think it is more about feeling safe and is anxiety based. On my bucket list of places to visit....maybe one day. Great photos Henry 🙂

    Hi Henry, I’ve only been watching your content for the past few months, but I love your honesty and natural style. You are an amazing photographer, keep grinding through the highs and lows and it will continue to pay off for you. I went to Madeira last April and also struggled there, in the beautiful mountains, Fanal Forrest and all around the island. I think because it’s known as a photographers paradise I think we go with higher expectations thank normal. I ended up with maybe 5 images I love out of over a thousand taken over a few days. Keep at it buddy!

    Everyone has down times Henry, for whatever reasons. It gives perspective to the rebound and makes us even more grateful when the creativity pops back out again! You have been working hard. Just throw your arms in the air and yell "WHEEEE!!!" as you ride the roller coaster of life!!

    Henry , firstly thank you for this video, and the amazing photographs. Secondly, we all feel exactly as you have done at times . That emotion of am I good enough, will people expect more than I'm capable of , the pressure to produce something every trip !! My point , you are always an inspiration to me and I'm sure all your followers. We get bad days , bad weeks. Sometimes just walking without the camera helps , no pressure, sometimes it helps to talk about it . Just know you are appreciated mate .. if one thing isn't working another will .

    You epitomise “keeping it real” - this adds to the appeal of your videos. Love those sea stack images. With just a few nights there you were putting yourself under some pressure to get a result and that may have compounded your negative feelings after the Fanal forest failed to inspire you.

    Hi Henry. Don’t forget that you started photography in 🇨🇦and 🇳🇿(if I remember correctly). I think you got so attached to photographing Britain 🇬🇧 and you haven’t been for quite a long time abroad for photography and it’s completely normal to feel a bit weird. After few more trips I think you will be more enjoying it. Great video as usual.

    Henry - Don't be so hard on yourself! You absolutely deserve to be there and taking in all that Madeira has to offer. You've worked so hard over the past few years - and especially the past month on your Advent series. Perhaps you're just a bit exhausted? The anticipation and excitement of a trip and a new location can sometimes be overpowering and create an emotional roller-coaster. You shouldn't doubt your ability as a pro photographer and your deserving of being on the trip. Hopefully it all worked out in the end (I can't wait to see the next video). Keep up the good work and great video's. You inspire us all with you enthusiasm! Cheers!

    You are so honest, and thank you so much for that! What a journey you have had, and not just in miles travelled. You've just had the most amazing december, running around doing fabulous videos every day, and most people would sit back and take it easy after such a feat, but not yiu, nope, you plant yourself firmly out of your comfort zone, and take yourself on the "biggest photography adventure yet!"... And the best is, instead of making a glossy lovely video where everything is just perfect, you allow yourself to connect to your emotions, acknowledge them, and then analyse them, sharing all this with us ❤ that is an enormous trust you're putting into us, and thank you for that... Thank you for sharing warts and all ❤ I can really relate to a lot of what you say, and seeing you find motivation even when you feel so down about everything is just pure inspiration ❤ don't change, keep being you, and thank you for letting us in ❤

    Landscape Photography is never always a given, but can also be overwhelming, which I'm sure all people suffer from. You always have to put the effort in & work woth what you got. Sometimes due to other photographers on TH-cam that have been to locations you always aim to look at doing something different to stand out. This is the job we choose & have to work threw it.

    Thank you for sharing Henry, very much relate to what you’ve said about emotion and skill being tied together, I don’t always have to be enjoying it but if I’m not engaged with a creative project it just doesn’t work, technical skill at anything seems to evaporate! I have to find circuitous ways of getting back into the right headspace and sometimes it’s just a matter of go do something else and the right time will come round again. Not great for deadlines but I guess that’s just the way of many creative brains 🙃

    You came away with some bangers. Appreciate the honesty too, we've all been there. Part of it I think also has to do with expectation vs reality. That forest has gained some social media popularity the last few years and sometimes going to a location that's been done to death can I think skew your feelings. Subconsciously you're always comparing what you're doing to what others have done if that makes sense ; ) The photo around the 20 minute mark is absolutely great, and the BW's were spot on.

    Thank you Henry for your honesty. We all have moods and doubts and it is refreshing in this world to hear someone share these. There is no questioning your ability as a landscape photographer and you have you best years ahead. Keep going the way you are.

    Henry, you are MORE than good enough. You are also a good soul who brings joy to those of us who are not in a position to see these wonderful places for ourselves.

    Dear Henry, thank so much for posting this video! Your honesty and candour is refreshing to see and truly validates that our feelings, no matter what they are, are important to acknowledge, embrace and reflect upon. Truly, I have had many times where I find myself uninspired to pick up my camera, with self doubt creeping in, so to see that you, an amazing, talented professional photographer, struggle with these same thoughts at times, makes me realize that it is part of the process to improve and grow. You are such an inspiration and I love your stunning photos and wonderful videos sharing your experiences! Looking forward to the next one!

    Henry, we love you and your photography. You're great! However, thank you for sharing your self-doubts. I think we all have these from time-to-time, regardless of our abilities and efforts, and it can be related to photography, or other things, like work, family, relationships, etc. Thanks again for sharing and I hope that you can see you're amazing!! Have a wonderful trip in Portugal!! It looks amazing!!

    This was a great video. The way you show the struggle and the way you overcame it, is a level os honesty that we don't usually see on this platform. We all been there. Sometimes we even just satay at home. But as you've shown so well on this video, even on our darkest hour, there is always a way to look at things in a different perspective, and in this case was for you to get back to a more familiar place to recharge your batteries. Cheers!

    From dramatic black & white to glorious light. A beautiful therapy Henri. Nature photography Has often been a way to express, to connect, to heal for many photographers...as me. Life is like a movie. The first 10 minutes are the most important (childhood) the end we know it (dead) what will make the film interesting is all that will happen between these 2 moments, as in Pretty Woman.Take care.

    Henry you kept it real. You take time out to let others know its not always smiles and laughter. There are times in life we question many things. Sometimes we force ourselves into wanting something when we actually don't need it. There are days we regret not having the camera with us but there are days we enjoy we don't have the camera with us. I understand your channel is landscape photography but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a landscape photo on every episode. So look after yourself and the wee chats are a good place to start.

    Its so good to hear those honest reflections, I think its one of your strengths, your fun, energy and passion your emotion is so engaging but like everything it can also turn to a weakness those feelings of self doubt and imposter syndrome, but great to see the way you faced them and pushed them back, that lyric was brilliant. Keep being you.

    I’m sure you’d have felt better with a couple of Herdwicks ambling round those trees! 😊 Appreciate the honesty & glad you felt better as the trip progressed. As for being good enough - you’ve definitely got no worries there. Loved the sea stack photographs esp. the last one & the sunset footage was spectacular!

    Thank you, Henry. I think that you are absolutely right that your honesty helps the rest of us understand that everyone has bad days and everyone feels down on themselves sometimes.
    Your work and your channel are an inspiration to all of us, and I thank you for bringing us along through the ups, and the downs! Truly, thank you for what you do.
