The reason I always enjoy your videos is because you have a good eye for composition. You're used to all that old British architecture but to us yanks we see great photos every time you turn a corner!!! If you offered walking photo tours I bet they'd be VERY popular - Hmmm... Probably make a good side hustle for ya. I'd sure pay good money for that.
Your absolutely right we are always hard on our own pictures we should enjoy them we took them for a reason at the time this is why I love your channel you give me and others inspiration thanks we should enjoy our passion for photography
Only a stones throw from me. I know it well. When you were photographing the bridge I pictured a few young lads diving into the river from the top of the stone handrails. That was me and some mates back in the early 80's. Nice vid... thanks. 🙂👍👋
The East End is my manor, so to speak... Great choice for urban street photography. Make sure you have a pint/drink in Turner's Old Star at Wapping - cheapest pub in that area and a real character in its own right.👍Plenty of cafes if you're more of a coffee drinker, and E Pellici on Bethnal Green Road is historic.
Thanks for the inspirations...we should take photography as a real pleasure, and enjoy It at all the times with less worries about "maximum technical performance". Very good video! Ciao
Great video, Roger. Just love your walk around. Those old buildings , reminds me of Germany. Took lots of photos, and scanned them over the years. Great work. Thanks. KB
What a nice looking place. Probably very hard to photograph for just one day / roll. I feel like I could spend months there taking pictures but on the other hand it is all different from my hood.
Oh YEAH! What a lovely town that is! I too could be there ages. Great buildings, good for both B&W and color. Lots of crunchy details, aging facades, bright flowers, lamps, posts, etc. You got a few really good images, especially the kegs with the pub sign. I have a similar approach to such subjects, so your work is really relatable. Love those pubs, all the same and yet different, lending personality to the town. Your suggestion to check out the photography on display in hotels is good. A few years back I went on a cruise and made sure to walk all the halls on all the decks I could, to see the art work. There were different themes and types on the different decks, and some of it was rather blah but was purchased by somebody! So you don't have to make perfect images every time. I've also spent lots of time watching the narrow boating channels, particularly Cruising the Cut. It's all quite interesting. I only spent 10 days in England over a decade ago and I miss it very much.
Goodness! I have the same dialog going through my head whenever I go out with my camera. (Sometimes a YashicMat G). It can be difficult to find something fresh or that I can connect with so that I will have a print that I like.
Thanks for the video, I've had a slump and my cameras have sat on the shelf for months until today when l watched a few of your videos and went out for a walk with the camera.
You should do a pub walk and shoot the pubs and people. Take your wife and let her be your designated driver. 🤣. Nice work as always Roger, thanks for sharing.
Great vid there, pretty much the same methodology when I go out shooting. I laughed my head off when you were talking about the old fella 'he was sitting there rolling a f**.... rolling a cigarette'. You were able to correct yourself from using the old slang.🤣
great video! I've never been to England, but, as I watched this video I was thinking what great shots could be had with a fisheye lens. Perhaps one day.
Cranky Rog, with all that strange goings on, I half expected a giant balloon to appear and start chasing you down the street. Very nice photography too. Yes, you are right. Those photographs on the wall of the hotel are just nice photographs. People would look at them and immediately recongnise or identify with the subject and what the photographer wanted to say. None of that Robert Adams or Raymond Moore photography here, all that photograph behind a photograph or subject within a subject. And that Ferrari Dino. I guess people have a bob or two down there. Thanks again.
I want to earn my way into a hotel. Been wanting that since I went into a hotel when I was a little kid. Think I was 6 or so and thought it was cool. Now......it's my dream. Lol.
Your 'Mind-Set' is exactly like MINE when it comes to 'thinking through Compositions' ! You should be a member of an Isle of Wight Camera Club - you would do well ! By The Way -- you forgot to mention ME at BRENTWOOD when you showed The Map Ha Ha ! Peter
Fantastic video, I’m glad it’s not just me that struggles with cabling on old buildings, we were in Norfolk a few weeks ago with some fantastic old buildings, took very little of them though, being over critical of spoilers on them. Maybe we should just shoot what is there, it is what it is. But then if we are not happy with the shot, would they ever get printed. Probably not so what is the point in waisting the film.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss this is very true. And I believe that the negative is still the only photographic medium that is guaranteed to be recoverable from in a 100 years.
If you want to see that town a bit more lively, then visit during the Regatta. Don't drive though, you won't be finding a parking space. Personally, I think you visited on a much better day, when you can actually get photos that aren't of crowds.
I'm sort of struggling with B&W 'local' photo's at the moment. Every time I go into a Greggs (not that I expect to find a Greggs in Henley-on-Yawn) I see these arty local landmarks photo's and its puts me off the whole concept of identifiable stuff from each area. Its sort of become a sub-genre of its own and I get an instinctive gut reaction to avoid it. I also avoid honeypots and anything that has a faint whiff of cliché as well. Am I just becoming a photography snob in my old age ..... ?

The hot fuzz reference is just gold! Well done!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thx for the wonderful reminder to look for the simple things in a photograph and not the complex shot - very inspirational
Great video as usual. Thank you, Roger
Cheers Carmine!
Un molested England , beautiful place. The Yaschica Mat is working great in these Street photo's.
He's very good because he keeps it simple..........................................
I love old buildings!!! Sorta different vintage here in the US rather than the UK!!!
My favourite is the pole at 14:55 … beautiful 👍🏻👋🏻👍🏻
Great to discover your channel. Photography for the love of it. Makes me miss my darkroom from olden times.
Haha. ”He was just sitting there rolling some f……, rolling some cigarettes”. That would definitely get lost in translation. Great vid of my hometown.
Your absolutely right we are always hard on our own pictures we should enjoy them we took them for a reason at the time this is why I love your channel you give me and others inspiration thanks we should enjoy our passion for photography
I like photos of corners of buildings. Geometry that goes noewhere gives me a liminal feel.
Thanks for another wonderful video.
Always a pain when you leave the lambo keys in the pub! 😂 Great video 👍
My condolences on your loss! I think she must have been kin to Betty White. =)
Only a stones throw from me. I know it well. When you were photographing the bridge I pictured a few young lads diving into the river from the top of the stone handrails. That was me and some mates back in the early 80's.
Nice vid... thanks. 🙂👍👋
The car joke was funny 😂
Obviously not convincing enough then lol
The shot of the car through the window is brilliant
Thanks Dane.
I enjoyed this Roger as yes I’m always hard on myself but as those photographs in the hotel show I shouldn’t be too hung up on the pictures
9:38 The license plate of the red Ferrari said mid life. Mid life crisis I think. Great video again. Very inspirational.
My midlife crisis extravagant spend is some Kodak Film 😂
Amazing photos
Really enjoyed this video….very inspirational. Thank you👍
brilliant mate, hopefully see you soon !
you are the best, worlds need to know you better Sir
Thankyou!

I won't be that far down Harry. First pint probably 10 bells.
Wicked cool! Keepin' it simple is what I love about photography, can be easy to get all wound up though..cheers!
Much thanks!
The gold post boxes are usually because an Olympic gold medallist comes from the town. Seen one in Lymington too.
Awesome! I did wonder.
What a great video. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Tim
Thanks for the inspirations...we should take photography as a real pleasure, and enjoy It at all the times with less worries about "maximum technical performance". Very good video! Ciao
Good one. Thank you.
What a great inspirational video. I loved your photographs and was glad to see that you used the TLR and Square Format!
Great to see so much square format for a change!
Its my preferred format I think, especially square frames.
I think square goes particularly well with B&W, so it is a double-win.
Great video, Roger. Just love your walk around. Those old buildings , reminds me of Germany. Took lots of photos, and scanned them over the years. Great work. Thanks. KB
Many thanks Ken

Yes I think we see much when it's not familiar.

That would get messy! ha ha
👍Thanks Roger, Definitely more entertaining than watching the crap TV channels here in New Zealand.
Good to hear
Nowhere near enough love for the 'Got out of me car' sight gag.
brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
Great video! I really liked the photo of the post in the alley.
I thought it was bollards!
Thanks again.. you always give me a lot of inspiration
Great vid there, pretty much the same methodology when I go out shooting. I laughed my head off when you were talking about the old fella 'he was sitting there rolling a f**.... rolling a cigarette'. You were able to correct yourself from using the old slang.🤣
LOL you noticed. I recovered for the US viewers. Could have got confusing.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss We're smart enough to figure it out. Well, SOME of us, anyway!

Lovely
Great video, really inspiring. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice.
Please though, not a 'river barge' but a narrow boat, the dimensions are such to fit narrow canals.
I want to earn my way into a hotel. Been wanting that since I went into a hotel when I was a little kid. Think I was 6 or so and thought it was cool. Now......it's my dream. Lol.

Looks like a nice town... You should come to my town in winter... Only about 600 people... Five minutes walk from the sea...
Sounds like a small town Tony. Where?
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I live in Sicily... Right next to the Tyrrhenean sea...
@@tonyparatore888 Lovely!
Thumbs up!
Thank you! Cheers!
Making me want a 6x6 camera😂

That's the beauty of film. A few years down the line the negative is still there. At the moment it may not be worth printing but one day it might.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss this is very true. And I believe that the negative is still the only photographic medium that is guaranteed to be recoverable from in a 100 years.

Enjoyed that. Check out your Barnet at 10:48.
😂😂, Florist style
How'd you get that white border in the scanned photos? Looks great
within video editing and photoshop
Was this yesterday? (4th September). I was in Henley! Sad I didn’t see you!
no, Thursday before the 4th
13:31 😂

I think the main problem you had was your lens was too wide. With a tighter lens you could have isolated many interesting objects
