Lot of comments. This will be lost in the crowd. A friend sent me a link to the video. I'm 75 and had stacked arms, had quit making photographs and had begun to stay indoors. I'm going out tomorrow to get a camera. Hadn't sold the lenses yet. Inspiration comes unexpectedly.
Please do so! I've had my camera for a while now, but dont know how to use it much. Been trying to do videography & photography for about 3 years. I dont know how to edit. I have a Canon 70d with a canon 50mm USM lens ( Compatible with full frame DSLR ) but my cam is a Crop sensor, soooooo my pics dont come out too good.
its not your life, nor you followers or success i'm jealous of most. its your excitement. The fire in your eyes when you talk about what you love. Congrats Pete. It's a great documentary.
Watching it after 5 years again. Truly a masterpiece. I was a kid back then, watching this made me wanna become a photographer. I bought myself a camera, tried it for a year but don't know why quit it after a year. I still have my camera, and I guess I'll begin it once again.
I don't think I've ever commented on a TH-cam video before, as I feel like my thoughts will be lost amongst the thousands of other comments, however . . . I just wanted to express how much I loved this video! Your passion and excitement about photography are infectious, and at the end of this video I couldn't help but smile and feel incredibly motivated. Your channel is informative, entertaining and endlessly inspiring. You've found yourself another subscriber! Thank you for sharing your amazing work!
Exactly my thoughts! I never comment on TH-cam for the same reason, but this video made me smile, even have a little tear of joy, and it felt so in sync with what I experience when I take photos.... Damn I need to get a new camera and go shoot something! Great vid, great motivation speech, great story :) You nailed it Peter.
Peter - you’re such a captivating story teller. Both in person and through visuals. Amazing film, proud of you and the team that crushed this. Loved it loved it loved it loved it loved it!
I'm not a photographer and I still love this video. The Bucket shot is a metaphor for any passion or creative project. It's not so much about the output - the shot itself - as much as it's about the journey. I also really like that little "behind the scenes" of the Paris, photo as well. Thanks for sharing @Peter Mckinnon.
Incredible to think that every decision you ever made in your life up to that point, the journey and experiences that came with it allowed you to take *The Bucket Shot* 🤯🤯 - Amazing work my dude!
OMG!!! That's really an inspiring movie. You are awesome, dude! Totally awesome! To me, photography is an art. Every shot has a story of its own. Some may relate to it, some don't. But it doesn't matter. What matter the most is the experience behind every shot. Well done, Peter!!! Well done!!! This movie, really worth the wait.
The amount of times I come back to this video. It's my top video in my 'Inspiration' playlists. Simply because of the enthusiasm that PK exhibits. It always makes me want to do something similar. Peter, please make another one like this. Looking forward to seeing you on Master Class sometime, just to share more of your knowledge and enthusiasm. You've definitely inspired a lot of people, including me. Don't stop creating TH-cam videos, but don't burn yourself out.
Funny you say that, I come back to a few of his videos all the time. Mainly this one. Always wanted to make something like this. Peter has been an insane inspiration to what I do now as a full time job.
There are two types of TH-camrs. Those who are watched by everyone, and those who are watched by other creators. Peter is a TH-camr's TH-camr. (The best type)
This wasn't about the photo. This was about knowing what you want and going for it. This entire video can be applied to literally anything that anybody dreams of. Love it.
Dear Peter, I'm not sure if you would even see this (mostly probably you won't given the number of comments you get) but I just wanted to share with you the feeling that I have right now after watching this video. You could say I'm a TH-cam buff and even have a TH-cam channel of my own (Not this account and won't mention the name coz I'm not trying to get publicity here). But lately, actually for the last 2 months I haven't made a single video. I've been going through a very difficult time, kind of a burnout situation and there were situations I even thought of quitting and not making videos anymore. This thought itself made things even worse coz the love I have for film making is something beyond what I can express in words. This went on for 2 months and today I was watching this video (BTW I love your content and that smile that you always have), seeing how much passion you have for photography and the extends you would go to get that one shot that you always wanted to take, The Bucket Shot. This took me back to the days when I first started off making videos, the struggles that I went through and the learning experiences from each video. I still remember the day I said I wanted to make videos, everyone started to laugh and said that you can't make videos, you're not meant for that or the things that you have made are really bad or something like that. But now, looking back at those days makes me feel happy and proud coz I overcame all of that made videos, which eventually made me understand that this is something I truly love. Not just the videos , the entire experience is something one could cherish for a lifetime. Thank you for reminding me what it really meant to me making a video or taking a picture. I'm filled with happiness to say that you're one of the persons I look up to . And that smile on your face dude...it brings out a smile on my face even when I'm really sad. So thank you. I'm truly honored to be a part of this TH-cam family of yours. P.S. Now I feel like this is a bit too long and should have emailed you this. But Its all good.
Perfectly put Tony, you hit it on the head. Inspiring to the max. Sorry about the difficult days. For people who go through those moments. In a way they are there to present us these moments, that propel us out and to the biggest moments of our lives. Cheers to better days.

I can’t compete with 8.4k comments, but if you see this, Peter, I only have one word man. Epic. You’ve inspired me (and a lot of others) to do much more than I thought I could or even originally intended and for that I say - Thank you, sir. Such a dope film.
I love that this wasn't just about the physical photo. The story and meaning behind it was mind blowing. This was 100% worth the wait :) nice job Pete (and team)

This is stunning, life changing work. I loved it so much - it goes beyond the editing tricks and the music and the views. It's about the story, it's about the connection, it's about the love and Ienjoyed all of it. Thank you for making this and for putting it on youtube to show everyone that you can start with a two minute Tuesday and you can grow and make something like this. Thank you Peter!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL color grading on this video. I enjoyed this video and the premise more than the actual photo. Yes the photo is BEAUTIFUL, but the premise of this video speaks volumes. Nice work as usual. Here's to continued success for you and the creative community
This is exactly why people should do what they love. This video gave me goosebumps. To all the VanLifers out there, I need to meet you! I'm on my way now with Harrison! Currently going around south of Lake Superior. Hope to catch some of you.
Your passion for your art shines through this video. I like how you show us through your storytelling that the payoff wasn't just achieving the goal, but rather the journey towards it which made achieving the goal that much more meaningful. Love it! Keep creating.
I love everything about this. The trip the shot the memories the friendship. EVERYTHING. Super inspiring. Makes me want to cherish each photo I take and remember it all. Thank you !!
How much passion, how much love in what you do... it's amazing how inspiring this film is for us!! Thanks Peter! You and the people you work with are such talented people!
Man! Seeing you pursue this dream and bucket list goal is inspiring AF! I’ve got a new fire under me to create something awesome today thanks to you Pete. Love the documentary man!!
I've been so uninspired and unmotivated with my photography pretty much the whole of 2022 but recently I've started noticing more and more things/places I want to photograh recently, then a few days ago my 11 year old granddaughter asked me if I still take photos, I said not really, she said I need to get out with my camera and start taking some again, then her mum told me my granddaughter had been singing my praises to the photographer taking shots of her gymnastics competition and how proud she felt because I've had a few photos published in my local newspaper. That has been on my mind for the last few days days. Today I came across this video, which is great btw, and I've decided to make a bucket list of the places I want to photograph. My granddaughter and this video have given me the inspiration and motivation to do something I enjoy, I can feel the sense of excitement at the thought of doing this. Thank you Peter and thank you to my granddaughter.
After watching a couple times through, I noticed the teal and orange theme. So impressive! It's not only in the color grade, but people's clothing, vehicles, and everything. Wow!
Thanks Peter! I'm a leg amputee (paragliding accident) getting into photography and doing a few amateur video's about life after limb loss. In Feb I found you on YT - you were the person who inspired me to do this. You've opened a new world to me, and you continue to inspire me when I feel like it's not good enough ... Thanks to your tutorials and vlogs I continued pursuing this this new hobby and passion. In May this year a prosthetic manufacturer contacted me to sponsor me with their #1 product. This has enabled me to start hiking again, going to outlying places on foot, carrying my camera gear on my back, getting out into the wilderness for the 1st time in 18 years. Your inspiration has made a huge difference to my life - for this I will feel eternally grateful that I stumbled upon your channel when I did. This video has upped the ante again - by the end of 2019 I will have my own bucket shot story, and I will have you to thank for it. You rock.
if you think thats authenticity then the world is doomed. lying to ourselves is the new norm i see.
4 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Freelectron I don’t think that is authenticity. I know it is. The world is doomed because of people saying shit and not backing it up with facts, just like you did. Oh, yeah, my facts? Watch the damn thing and you’ll know. Bye.
@ the world is doomed because fools are easily fooled. it is half sincerity and half acting. you dont have to believe me but im kind of an expert at this. i dont seek your approval. bye bye )
@ you are controlled by your emotions. emotions lie. this is called circumstantial evidence which is admissable in court. im sorry bro, but you dont understand yourself let alone others
Absolutely incredible. This made me cry. Cry of pure joy. Pure joy because this is how incredible photography is. As a 20 year old woman trying to kickstart her career in photography, whenever I find myself in any some sort of doubt, no doubt I will be back here... watching this video, reminding me why I do what I do. You are my favourite person on this platform, and my goodness at 2:30am in the pitch black of the UK sky do I now want to go out and shoot. Thank you, Peter. Thank you so much.
Peter …while you probably won’t ever read this I still feel the need to tell you how this video beyond all the many of yours I’ve watched over the years touched my soul …. You totally nailed it !!! The inspiration, the excitement, the camaraderie,the experience, and the awe that we as photographers strive for… every time we hit the shutter …all hit home and captures the essence of what is so special about this amazing craft we sooo love !! Best Art …
That was so nicely put together that I honestly wouldn’t of minded if the pic ended up being utter shit. It’s a plus that it was totally epic. Congrats Pete!
DUDE!!! I can't even.. Kinda weird that my eyes got watery.. I guess It's not because the movie, but the story you told it means a Lot.. Basically you just told every one that there's no such thing as an instantaneous be patient, keep doing what you doing, and you'll be there.. this is not just a shot, but the entire journey and the movie is something that I want to always remember to keep me going in anything I do.. Thank you..
I just sat there with a stupid smile all throughout the video and I think a tear or two trickled down as Pete narrated this entire journey with such grace and passion. Man, I LOVE THIS! ❤️ You're such an inspiration, Peter. Thank you so much. Cheers to a great Life! :)
ANNOUNCEMENT!! My biggest film of the year highlighting my the best Drone shots of Northwest British Columbia, Canada is going live tomorrow! Go to my channel and set a reminder so you don't miss it!
As a *Landscape Photographer* I love this! This is what Photography is all about, a beautiful location, getting the shot you worked hard for and the payoff! But most of all, actually printing an image so ten years from now, when you walk into a room, that picture still gives you that tingle... Great video...
i have never been more motivated in my life. you captured the exact essence of what it means to truly love something and to pursue it with everything you have. amazing.
I actually do not have words to describe how encouraging that was. I know you will never read this comment but I just want to say thank you Peter McKinnon for the film, it was inspiring.
Photographs are like Tattoos 👏The stories and memories behind photographs are the closest things I have to tattoos. I love that analogy. Loved the film.
That would be awesome!! My only thought is Peter might not sell this because it’s so personal to him, he might want to keep it as a special memory only for him and his friends? I don’t know though, I would still love that print!
I don't know how many times I've watched this over the years but honestly enjoy it so much. Great story telling and amazing photography. Loving every bit of your content!! Huge inspiration
I feel the exact same way. 6 years ago I was also on a mountain. With a gun in my mouth. Idk why but I didnt pull the trigger. The next day I bought my first Nikon. Photography saved my life and I'll never let go of it. It is my peace.
This is so heart-touching, Peter. This story is so inspiring. If someone got you to think about this specific shot, your story started turning my gears.
Hey Pete. you asked the question what photography means to other togs. Im an automotive/motorsport tog in South Africa. I was diagnosed with Glaucoma at 15 and I'm pretty much legally blind atm. Im a retired mechanical engineer and so shooting is pretty much all I have now. Can barely see about a metre infront of me but I still want to shoot. to boil it down, Photography is MY way of showing appreciation for eyesight, and nobody will ever know how I feel when I nail a shot. So yeah that's what photography means to me as an individual. Appreciation for the god given gift of eyesight. I still consider myself as lucky as there are some people who cannot see at all. All the best for 2019, hope you have a great year going forward :)
You have an awesome story Imraan Gallo, one that will inspire people! God helps each of us to see things in different ways, and He has allowed you to view the world in a way that is totally different from anyone else, and that is amazing!
I think I have watched this video over 5 times, I love it so much. The feeling of myself doing what you do when I grow older as a photographer, and relating your experience to the experiences I had as a 15-year-old photographer when you worked hard to get to the location of the shot. Thank you so much for doing what you do and I hope you keep making videos like this.
Dude! I shot some great photos (in my opinion) when I was at my home town. When I went back to my home now, I lost the camera... It was a little point and shoot.
nope its probly from the people that dont enjoy having a very everyday and simple thing being drawn out in a long overly complicated story just for the sake of views and self grandeur. probly more that...people like peter get excited about being on display not the actual event. but for some reason people are niave to this and choose to filll in the blanks and presuppose genuineness. story telling is about the story, not the truth.
Talk about an artist that inspires,just crazy that 7 months ago i never held a camera and that this channel was a huge reason i wanted to start learning and have been gripped ever since!! Thabk you so much Peter McKinnon for inspiring me

I'm a full-time professional photographer, but I could not care less about landscape photography. Still, what I love about this is the story: the people, the set up, the feelings ... the story. Thank you, Peter.
When you started talking about landscape shot . My heart melted . That is the exact feeling I get too. This video did something- idk what yet but def sparked a spark❤I put my camera down ten years ago cause life started life’ing. Maybe I’ll pick it back up
Hollywood does not lack competent directors and producers. That's not the problem. The problem is that the "Hollywood way" of producing movies is very quickly being obsoleted by social platforms like TH-cam. Original and creative content like this video would not have been possible in a Hollywood context from an economic point of view but it is on platforms like TH-cam. All those millions of dollars being paid to actors and directors in expectation of huge takes at the box office - that whole way of thinking is starting to feel very oldfashioned. That is the problem facing Hollywood. Not lack of directors or producers.
Great movie! love it Peter
Casey!!
Hello Casey !!!

As always
Howz u casey✌️🔥
Lot of comments. This will be lost in the crowd. A friend sent me a link to the video. I'm 75 and had stacked arms, had quit making photographs and had begun to stay indoors. I'm going out tomorrow to get a camera. Hadn't sold the lenses yet. Inspiration comes unexpectedly.
Your sky and monuments vid is pretty awesome

To me, photography is an art. Every shot has a story of its own. Some may relate to it, some don't. But it doesn't matter. What matter the most is the experience behind every shot.

Dear Peter,
I'm not sure if you would even see this (mostly probably you won't given the number of comments you get) but I just wanted to share with you the feeling that I have right now after watching this video.
You could say I'm a TH-cam buff and even have a TH-cam channel of my own (Not this account and won't mention the name coz I'm not trying to get publicity here). But lately, actually for the last 2 months I haven't made a single video. I've been going through a very difficult time, kind of a burnout situation and there were situations I even thought of quitting and not making videos anymore. This thought itself made things even worse coz the love I have for film making is something beyond what I can express in words.
This went on for 2 months and today I was watching this video (BTW I love your content and that smile that you always have), seeing how much passion you have for photography and the extends you would go to get that one shot that you always wanted to take, The Bucket Shot. This took me back to the days when I first started off making videos, the struggles that I went through and the learning experiences from each video. I still remember the day I said I wanted to make videos, everyone started to laugh and said that you can't make videos, you're not meant for that or the things that you have made are really bad or something like that. But now, looking back at those days makes me feel happy and proud coz I overcame all of that made videos, which eventually made me understand that this is something I truly love. Not just the videos , the entire experience is something one could cherish for a lifetime.
Thank you for reminding me what it really meant to me making a video or taking a picture. I'm filled with happiness to say that you're one of the persons I look up to . And that smile on your face dude...it brings out a smile on my face even when I'm really sad. So thank you. I'm truly honored to be a part of this TH-cam family of yours.
P.S. Now I feel like this is a bit too long and should have emailed you this. But Its all good.
Cool man. 👍

I've been so uninspired and unmotivated with my photography pretty much the whole of 2022 but recently I've started noticing more and more things/places I want to photograh recently, then a few days ago my 11 year old granddaughter asked me if I still take photos, I said not really, she said I need to get out with my camera and start taking some again, then her mum told me my granddaughter had been singing my praises to the photographer taking shots of her gymnastics competition and how proud she felt because I've had a few photos published in my local newspaper.

Thanks Peter!
I'm a leg amputee (paragliding accident) getting into photography and doing a few amateur video's about life after limb loss.
In Feb I found you on YT - you were the person who inspired me to do this. You've opened a new world to me, and you continue to inspire me when I feel like it's not good enough ...
Thanks to your tutorials and vlogs I continued pursuing this this new hobby and passion. In May this year a prosthetic manufacturer contacted me to sponsor me with their #1 product. This has enabled me to start hiking again, going to outlying places on foot, carrying my camera gear on my back, getting out into the wilderness for the 1st time in 18 years.
Your inspiration has made a huge difference to my life - for this I will feel eternally grateful that I stumbled upon your channel when I did.
This video has upped the ante again - by the end of 2019 I will have my own bucket shot story, and I will have you to thank for it.
You rock.
All the best foe your future bro💪
The Amped Life Chris Olivier SO DOPE DUDE! Thank you for sharing your story. Rooting for you my man!!!
So inspiring bro, i will love to watch that video!
All the very best Chris.....your already inspiring people. Share the stoke and good. Be you!!
I submitted this as a reference for documentaries in my television production class. My entire class watched it, no regrets at all.
I literally cried in emotion when he said "I nailed it".
Such an amazing movie.
Your authenticity is off the charts.
Im glad im not the only one.
if you think thats authenticity then the world is doomed. lying to ourselves is the new norm i see.
Freelectron I don’t think that is authenticity. I know it is. The world is doomed because of people saying shit and not backing it up with facts, just like you did. Oh, yeah, my facts? Watch the damn thing and you’ll know. Bye.
@ the world is doomed because fools are easily fooled. it is half sincerity and half acting. you dont have to believe me but im kind of an expert at this. i dont seek your approval. bye bye )
@ you are controlled by your emotions. emotions lie. this is called circumstantial evidence which is admissable in court. im sorry bro, but you dont understand yourself let alone others
Absolutely incredible. This made me cry. Cry of pure joy. Pure joy because this is how incredible photography is. As a 20 year old woman trying to kickstart her career in photography, whenever I find myself in any some sort of doubt, no doubt I will be back here... watching this video, reminding me why I do what I do. You are my favourite person on this platform, and my goodness at 2:30am in the pitch black of the UK sky do I now want to go out and shoot. Thank you, Peter. Thank you so much.
Wish you all the perfect shots, Hope!! :D
0:00-23:17 was the best part. Thanks for this, Pete. ✌❤
Peter …while you probably won’t ever read this I still feel the need to tell you how this video beyond all the many of yours I’ve watched over the years touched my soul …. You totally nailed it !!! The inspiration, the excitement, the camaraderie,the experience, and the awe that we as photographers strive for… every time we hit the shutter …all hit home and captures the essence of what is so special about this amazing craft we sooo love !! Best Art …
Amazing movie. You're a great story teller Pete
You have nailed it
Oh My God! This is just heartwarming!
Happy to know that you get time to see this type of content with your busy schedule.
Can u please tell me how to edit the titles like in this video at the ending in after effects.
U can also make this type of videos
That was so nicely put together that I honestly wouldn’t of minded if the pic ended up being utter shit. It’s a plus that it was totally epic. Congrats Pete!
3:35 those line literally gave me goosebumps🔥
"you're the only one with your camera and you're capturing every moments of that"😍
DUDE!!! I can't even.. Kinda weird that my eyes got watery.. I guess It's not because the movie, but the story you told it means a Lot.. Basically you just told every one that there's no such thing as an instantaneous be patient, keep doing what you doing, and you'll be there.. this is not just a shot, but the entire journey and the movie is something that I want to always remember to keep me going in anything I do..
Thank you..
The way he talk makes me feel his passion and determination 🤯
Facts
Agreed, he is inspiring. One day I hope I can be of his level.
I just sat there with a stupid smile all throughout the video and I think a tear or two trickled down as Pete narrated this entire journey with such grace and passion. Man, I LOVE THIS! ❤️ You're such an inspiration, Peter. Thank you so much. Cheers to a great Life! :)
You are right Nikhil...same happened with me..haha...than I thought am I the only one...😁

I wish I could give this video 10 000 thumbs-ups. At least.
ANNOUNCEMENT!! My biggest film of the year highlighting my the best Drone shots of Northwest British Columbia, Canada is going live tomorrow! Go to my channel and set a reminder so you don't miss it!
@@benmantel Are you promoting your self?
As a *Landscape Photographer* I love this! This is what Photography is all about, a beautiful location, getting the shot you worked hard for and the payoff! But most of all, actually printing an image so ten years from now, when you walk into a room, that picture still gives you that tingle... Great video...
i have never been more motivated in my life. you captured the exact essence of what it means to truly love something and to pursue it with everything you have. amazing.
The guy is magic. Something so genuine about this story too.
I actually do not have words to describe how encouraging that was. I know you will never read this comment but I just want to say thank you Peter McKinnon for the film, it was inspiring.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Probably my favorite video of 2018.
Totally agree with You! Thx Peter!
Until this moment, one of the best films I see on TH-cam. Peter, u are amazing. Thanks.
I love that feeling too, morning landscapes are incredible to take
👆👆🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉
Photographs are like Tattoos 👏The stories and memories behind photographs are the closest things I have to tattoos. I love that analogy. Loved the film.
Imo, the most talented AND consistent frame composer / light painter out there on TH-cam. Merci 🙏
My only question is... how can I order a PRINT of that shot??? 😍
yes please
Yeah! I want a massive one for my bedroom wall!!!
For sure that would be awesome
Had the same thought.
That would be awesome!! My only thought is Peter might not sell this because it’s so personal to him, he might want to keep it as a special memory only for him and his friends? I don’t know though, I would still love that print!
I don't know how many times I've watched this over the years but honestly enjoy it so much. Great story telling and amazing photography. Loving every bit of your content!! Huge inspiration
I feel the exact same way. 6 years ago I was also on a mountain. With a gun in my mouth. Idk why but I didnt pull the trigger.
The next day I bought my first Nikon.
Photography saved my life and I'll never let go of it. It is my peace.
Woah that was a wild read, in a sentence you spun my mind around. Glad photography saved you! Art truly is a gift and a blessing
Glad you didn't pull the trigger. Keep pulling that trigger, brother.
"Beauty will save the world." - Dostoevsky
You made me cry. I'm happy that you're happy! Every person deserves their place in the universe. I'm glad you found Photography! What a blessing~
so glad you choosed the right trigger!!
Wow, the long-awaited bucket shot... what an amazing story! That picture is truly breathtaking!
Dude, this was amazing! I’ve watched it twice now. Really inspiring and the shot looks sick!!!
Ben Laurence what settings do you think he used on it and lens?
MariNate honestly I have no idea. But whatever he used, it came out great!
This is so heart-touching, Peter. This story is so inspiring. If someone got you to think about this specific shot, your story started turning my gears.
Hey Pete. you asked the question what photography means to other togs. Im an automotive/motorsport tog in South Africa. I was diagnosed with Glaucoma at 15 and I'm pretty much legally blind atm. Im a retired mechanical engineer and so shooting is pretty much all I have now. Can barely see about a metre infront of me but I still want to shoot. to boil it down, Photography is MY way of showing appreciation for eyesight, and nobody will ever know how I feel when I nail a shot. So yeah that's what photography means to me as an individual. Appreciation for the god given gift of eyesight. I still consider myself as lucky as there are some people who cannot see at all. All the best for 2019, hope you have a great year going forward :)
You have an awesome story Imraan Gallo, one that will inspire people! God helps each of us to see things in different ways, and He has allowed you to view the world in a way that is totally different from anyone else, and that is amazing!
A wonderful reminder that It's about the journey, not the destination.
Loved every bit of this film. Congratulations on achieving this bucket shot 😍
Best teacher ever ❤
I think I have watched this video over 5 times, I love it so much. The feeling of myself doing what you do when I grow older as a photographer, and relating your experience to the experiences I had as a 15-year-old photographer when you worked hard to get to the location of the shot. Thank you so much for doing what you do and I hope you keep making videos like this.
you are more then a photographer, but a storyteller. well done
Loved this 🙏🏼
Enjoyed every minute of it, your talent is so rare!
Absolutely. So much value to learn from him.
Love the romanticism that you attach to each photo. Thanks for inspiring me to pick up the camera again
👆👆🎁🎁🎉
.... deleting all my youtube videos now
seriously this was Insanely good man! Thanks for putting in all that time for us to enjoy :)
There's just no point anymore
*after getting home*
wait, where's the SD card?
😆
@BananaBot this feeling hurts so much.
@BananaBot 😂😂😂
Dude! I shot some great photos (in my opinion) when I was at my home town. When I went back to my home now, I lost the camera... It was a little point and shoot.
I thought the same lol I would have uploaded it to the cloud as soon as i got to the hotel room!
The 133 dislikes were the photographers that packed up and went home before the fog cleared lol! Sick Shot Pete!
Smack. Shots fired.
Amen to that!
And the rest messed up their card and deleted by mistake!
nope its probly from the people that dont enjoy having a very everyday and simple thing being drawn out in a long overly complicated story just for the sake of views and self grandeur. probly more that...people like peter get excited about being on display not the actual event. but for some reason people are niave to this and choose to filll in the blanks and presuppose genuineness. story telling is about the story, not the truth.
@@freelectron2029 you're crying on every single comments section. Get a life, man yikes 😂
Talk about an artist that inspires,just crazy that 7 months ago i never held a camera and that this channel was a huge reason i wanted to start learning and have been gripped ever since!! Thabk you so much Peter McKinnon for inspiring me
WHY AM I CRYING?! 😭❤️
same 😭
REALLY.. WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT THE MEMORIES BEHIND THE PICTURES AND THAT MOMENT ACROSS THE COU NTRY JUST FOR ONE PICTURE. ... AHH IT HIT ME

I'm a full-time professional photographer, but I could not care less about landscape photography. Still, what I love about this is the story: the people, the set up, the feelings ... the story. Thank you, Peter.
Person: what do you wanna become when you grow up?
Me: Peter McKinnon.
RONGKIM KATHAR so true😱
This is a sick comment
Totally my dream
The best version of myself :)
fuk me, the things people will comment to get likes....
You forgot said “ I’m Peter McKinnon and this is my Masterclass “
the day this happens....#takemymoney
Lord Jesus bless you! Good luck on your creative journey!
Peter should make a NETFLIX Series about this called "The Bucket Shot"
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS
Agree.
Yes please make it happen Peter ma' man!
very much agreed
yes please
Whenever I feel unmotivated in photography I return to this film.
Better storytelling than the everyday Hollywood movie :')
Awesome documentary Peter! Love it and it was worth waiting for it! Good Job!
The build-up of your story leading up to 19:00...I have freaking tears in my eyes. Wow.
Same
This film really got me inspired to dive into photography. Every so often I rewatch it and honestly I get fired up every single time 🔥🔥🔥
Just gonna drop a whole ass professional documentary like it’s nothing. Peter McKinnon is truly something else.
going back here after "the mountain won't remember me"
Same
Same that was good
kahfi bonboy the only route...
Same! 😂👍🏼
Same 😊
22:13....Really inspired me...love that documentary brother..
When you started talking about landscape shot . My heart melted . That is the exact feeling I get too. This video did something- idk what yet but def sparked a spark❤I put my camera down ten years ago cause life started life’ing. Maybe I’ll pick it back up
Hollywood needs directors/producers like you.......
They REALLY REALLY do.
Hollywood does not lack competent directors and producers. That's not the problem. The problem is that the "Hollywood way" of producing movies is very quickly being obsoleted by social platforms like TH-cam. Original and creative content like this video would not have been possible in a Hollywood context from an economic point of view but it is on platforms like TH-cam. All those millions of dollars being paid to actors and directors in expectation of huge takes at the box office - that whole way of thinking is starting to feel very oldfashioned. That is the problem facing Hollywood. Not lack of directors or producers.
Michael Berg cool bro
@@michaelberg7201 A comment of 5 lines with absolutely no meaning...Congrats!
@@lonewandererfo3 Try clicking that mysterious link below the first 5 lines that says "read more". You'll be amazed.
Amazing storytelling and I can't believe you only won one award
other way around I can't believe there where so many people at the same time at the lake and only Peter won the award ;D - jokin of course
So rad to see this dream come to life! Loved every minute of it!
I love that I keep coming back to watch this video since I first saw it! Helped me discover the love of mini docs
