    Hi guys, thought I'd put this video out tonight anyway since it's all uploaded haha - enjoy :D

      Blimey Henry, cant knock your hard work.
      Take a bit off time out and sit down with a pot of tea or a pint 😀

    Just answering your question...
    Yes, still enjoying your channel.
    I've said this before, we think of you as one of us. You don't preach at us or talk down to us. We share your highs and lows, it makes you more human.
    Also loving the van build, its like spending time with you out if hours

    HT: It doesn't matter if a site is often photographed. Every moment in time is unique and everything you do to compose & take the photo at that instant makes it yours!

    • @HenryTurnerphoto

      Agreed 👍🏼👍🏼

    • @TudorSmith

      I'm with you on that one Ken. Honeypot locations or frequently visited locations are always an instant in time, and the person capturing that moment makes it their own!

    I couldn't agree more with your "rant" about light! There is always something good to expect when you're out shooting if you stay in a positive frame of mind...

    Your TH-cam’s are informative, humorous, and well produced. Simply awesome and fun to watch.

    Great points about light. Should never be an excuse not to get out. Thanks.

  • @GeorgeK356
    @GeorgeK356 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Truly, truly inspirational, Henry.
    You are so right about beating ourselves up about light, or lack thereof. I really enjoy your videos and explorations. I am 74 years old, and after a bout of poor health, culminating in a 6 month period of lower body paralysis, am a little unsteady on my legs and cannot walk as I used to. Videos such as these allow me to have your experiences vicariously.
    I do manage to get out and about, but I am confined to easily accessible places and not too far from the car.
    Please accept my grateful thanks and appreciation for all you, and your band of landscape photographers, do.
    George

    And many thanks right back to you Henry... I assure you it's a mutually beneficial relationship.

  • @ianbarnes1406
    @ianbarnes1406 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Absolutely agree. A strong composition, such as a lone tree, set against an interesting cloud formation, is a massive part of my photography. Direct light is often not present in my images

  • @Paul-vy1ev
    @Paul-vy1ev 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another awesome video henry. I think sometime you are too hard on yourself, yes a scene or place may have been photographed many times before,but it's all
    About putting your unique stamp on it,which
    You always do. Plus there no other photographer on utube who has your passion .
    Which why you have such a loyal following .
    Look forward to your next adventure. 😊👍

  • @jamesss1953
    @jamesss1953 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m literally just out of the shower after a hike. I’d taken some of your enthusiasm and tips today in my photography » still to check all. Opened my phone and alert to this video. Scottish weather does get sunshine, but I kind of like the moody skies for photos. I’m in agreement with you on “light”. Lived in Spain for a year with so so much light, and it worked. Spectacular photos again here with tips on ‘how to’. Thank you very much on sharing (again)…. 👍

  • @hjones451
    @hjones451 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As for Elgol, I would be happy to visit a million times - The limpet clad coloured rocks, the Cuillins in the background - Dream World - When I got back home, I just had to do a painting of that view.

    You are absolutely right, who cares about the light all the time, just take the shot.

  • @ianbrowne9304
    @ianbrowne9304 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    some great tips there for the less experienced ; like 'look down'!! Notice the ''little subjects inside the big picture'' .
    The colours are always there ; the sun just makes the colours brighter to our eyes . But the sun also add hard shadows (Australia) and colour can easier to bring out PP than hard shadows are hard to remove .
    The better tip of all from video IMO - there are far more usable subjects available under a cloudy sky .

    Not always having the opportunity to get out in “perfect” conditions I 100% agree on the light issue. If you enjoy photography then just getting out and enjoying the experience is key. Love the photos in this video. Particularly the the one between the rocks. Great video as always. 👍

  • @erniebrandt9762

  • @stevebloom47
    @stevebloom47 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, what a trip you've had. The way you were on that beach is exactly how I am. I am a obsessed with water movements especially at sunrise. The last couple of outings around Paignton I've been like a kid in a candy shop. I always take test shots to see what sort of shutter speed I need for the speed of the water. When I get what I feel is right, I will keep my finger on my remote at the beginning of the wave and mot release till the wave recedes. The beauty of the D500 is it's 200 shot buffer. Last week I took over 1400 shots. I loved every shot you did. Looking forward to seeing your van conversation . Regards Steve from Paignton

    I'm not sure who gets more out of watching your vids, you support wise or me for the enjoyment value. But its my pleasure entirely to support you. My daughter bought me the photographing Scotland book AND your calendar for Xmas. Love every thing about the Isle of Skye, super images and yes light is a matter of opinion and I guess what you are used to. We have a lot of sunlight here so you became used to shooting with it, I do enjoy taking storm photos though. Look forward to the next one.

    Lovely photos, Henry. Thanks for this video. I really like the subtle light in your photos. For some reason in the US the brilliant red and orange skies at the biggest hit, but really prefer your type of photos.

  • @johndwilliams
    @johndwilliams 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, Henry. Fed up with TH-cam photographers who need the 'light' before they can take the shot. I live in Northern Ireland and we have similar scenery, weather and light on the coast. Nice to see what you can make of this kind of photography.

    @kelsangjorlam5770 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes Henry, inspiring, entertaining and very informative. That's why i am here each week..
    Fabulous first image.. great sky detail and loving the Zebra stripes.. immediately followed with another brill image of the headland and beach.. but it is the shot afterward which excited me.. the rocks in the foreground look phenomenal, with their swirly patterns showing the water's passage. Love this subtle palette. i think the light is better placed than in the last image.
    Absolutely gorgeous runoff over the rocks and lovely Rùm shrouded in mist and cloud as a distant backdrop, who needs sun??? Wow Henry there's so many fab images in this week's edition. The shot of the channel: i'm drawn to the gouged out channels in the rocks, under your feet. The colour is so unexpected but brilliant. the foreground is very abstract looking and, for me, would make an image on it's own.. Thank you Henry..
    As ever, looking forward to our next adventure..

There was great contrast and unique colors in everything. I am not exaggerating in saying this video really inspired me and your wit made me laugh. A great treat before I begin my work day.

  • @andrewbaxter9395

  • @alangauld6079
    @alangauld6079 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you like Skye and don't want to take standard shots, go to Rhum. It's the same scenery but no roads and hardly any people and virtually no photographers. A bit harder to get to, but well worth it!

  • @washingtonradio
    @washingtonradio 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the real skill is being able to use the available light effectively rather than type of light. I find I will adjust my compositions based on the light and clouds.

  • @digitaliphotography
    @digitaliphotography 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another great vid, Henry. I know Skye pretty well, but I didn't know that first bay with the black sand - guess where I'm going next time I'm on Skye! Loved the Elgol shots too, the Black Cuillin make a stunning backdrop to anything, but finding that little channel make a different and unique view.

  • @jillbaxter4533

    Blood and sand young Henry lad!!! Stunners each and every one of those photos. but hey you're in the right country for outstanding photography. I have only been to Skye once since I moved to Scotland and I did the usual photo tourist jaunts as directed by the fotovue book & another TH-cam channel (based on Skye) and as you say there is so much to explore and so many fantastic vistas everywhere you turn. stunning lad - just stunning

  • @zincyellowmach1523
    @zincyellowmach1523 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree, some of my best pictures have been on cloudy stormy days. It adds emotion and feeling to the picture that more than makes up for lack of light. This is dependent on having newer/better equipment though or a tripod and no motion. Not that you can't use older or lower end equipment but as you know it will definitely make it more challenging especially for beginners. Thanks for your videos as usual!

  • @alangray3063
    @alangray3063 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Henry, I've been out to that bay once, but long to go again I made the big mistake of of planning to be there at high tide how wrong was I, although I still got some nice shots I will plan my next trip for a lower tide, I also agree make the most of the light your given & enjoy your time where ever you are.

    @duane.hewitt 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Agree with this. I'm mainly a fairer weather sunrise/sunset hunter. I've just come back from Glencoe yesterday where I got the amazing sunrise I went for. But the fantastic light through the day left me comparing that day's conditions to the grey and gloomy conditions the week previous for a shot I got at the 3 sisters. Sometimes overcast and wild conditions enhance the shot in certain locations.

    Hi Henry, new to the channel, good videos and banter, you said in the video what more could you want, I have a suggestion for you. Get your map of Scotland out and look for a place called Kinloch Hourn. It is down a single track road about 6mls after the Invagary turn off on the road to Skye, you will not be disappointed, about 2mls from the end of the road the landscape is phenomenal, a Loch, trees, and mountains all we could ever want for landscapes

  • @davidfrost3770
    @davidfrost3770 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What a bonus, more videos in last few day than you can shake a stick at.
    Stunning shots from your last day on Skye.
    Loved the one where you were perched on the rock and looking through to mountains in background.
    Now i know where your "henrythusiasm" comes from, its Lucosade and Iron Brew.
    Is there anything different you have to do when focus stacking with moving waves in the shot?

  • @alanedwards5968
    @alanedwards5968 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hope you don’t mind me saying this Henry and I’ve always thought the photos you produce are without doubt exceptional but since you changed to mirrorless I think they are now exceptionally amazing you are creating some stunning images and I was wandering if you have noticed any change yourself because I for one have and so glad because your a top bloke 👍
