AUTUMN IS HERE! - Landscape Photography in the Lake District

Autumn has arrived thankfully, landscape photography in the lake district during this period is a real joy and something I'm really looking forward to over the next few weeks.
Also in this video I'll be answering some of your questions you've been asking me across social media including where the framing video is!!

Hi Stuart sorry you're not so well keep warm and get back out doing what you do best great photography

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers Brian yep on the mend now as we speak

[@adamhewitt8763]

Jobs a gooden! Loving that first pano Stuart and also the stormy shots from wastwater area. I really love the moody stuff, you took a great one from near hardknott I believe- the light was amazing 👏

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks Adam sorry I missed your comment glad you enjoyed the vid

[@robgrayson]

Hi Stuart, I'm the guy who came into the gallery with my wife on Saturday and then popped back just before closing time to pick up a calendar. Having spent three days with my camera in the Lake District last weekend, I'm really glad to find you have a YT channel full of valuable advice about how to do photographic justice to such amazing landscape. Looking forward to following along :)

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Hi Rob sorry I missed this comment, thanks for watching glad you're enjoying them

[@meraldbirdtv5425]

Watching here and sending my full support

[@StuartMcGlennon]

👍

[@thevalleywalker]

Its still quite green here Stu. Lovely chilled intro. I have just come back after a drive to check out some woodland but didnt get my camera out. Lovely conditions on that opening image was a corker. Loved the Waswater shots. Hope the cold/flu didn't come to owt - have been down with "summat" the last week or so myself. atb Al

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers Alan thanks very much for watching - yes very green still, an odd autumn so far and weather generally has been pretty wretched! Hoping for a much better winter lol

[@thevalleywalker]

@@StuartMcGlennon I have had mates been up the LD in the past few weeks and both have noit managed to get their cameras out due to the weather. Let's hope for a few decent weeks beforfe the leaves fall then.

[@chodzsiepowoczymy1892]

Really like first few shots with the mist. You have beautiful forests in the UK. Shot from 12:17 has a bit to strong vignette for my taste

[@ianhamer4294]

I'm loving the pano shot Stuart. Always interested in what you have to say.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers Ian 👍

[@gotophotoarchive9131]

Very nice location.

[@scotty4418]

Loved the panorama Stuart, hope you're on the mend and making the most of the autumnal colours.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks matey yeah pleased with that pano

[@sarahpowell1000]

Hope you feel better soon Stuart. The autumn colours are really coming through now 🍂 Waiting for some misty mornings down south to capture some more atmospheric shots. After our sessions at Crummock Water and Tewet Tarn, I’m loving the more ‘moody’ weather! 😊

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers Sarah what a good session that was at Crummock! Yep getting there now thankfully, had a cold that would knock a horse over lol

[@tuftyhill]

Hi Stuart another enjoyable video thanks. It was nice to meet you and have a chat last week when I called into the gallery. (I was the one who greeted you when I walked in with a mask on ☺) It was great to see a selection of your prints in the flesh rather than on a screen especially the ponies in the snow image which is one of my favourites. We had a great week in the Lakes and I can't believe how dry it was!! I'm back up for the weekend early Nov so hopefully the autumn colours will be at their best as long as the winds don't cause too many leaves to drop

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks Paul and also thanks for popping by the shop, yeah it’s a strange autumn so far, still swathes of green everywhere, needs a cold spell though I’m not sure we’re going to get it

[@sander5086]

Colours start to look great, will be in the Lakes in 10 day's time!! Really like the composition in the first image, well done 👍

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks Sander

[@davesemmens9496]

Always good to see your videos pop up. I have been loving the Tamron 28-200 for the Sony. Such a versatile lens and the weight reduction (from lugging around a 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 F4) is always appreciated on my way up a hill :)

[@howardrankin7119]

Very nice Q& A , and look forward to Printing & Framing with LensDistrict….. beautiful woodland shots, the pano particularly well balanced

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers mate much appreciated

[@sotonrob]

Nice one Stuart getting excited now as I watch this tonight in my campervan on Tebay services after coming down from Glencoe today, on my three week road photography trip now I have five days in the lakes your video has made me so to speak, chumping at the bit. keep up the good work Rob

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers Rob hope the weather gods are with you while you’re here 👍

[@RudixSA]

Great video! Looking forward to the printing video!

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks Rudi

[@Quaker521]

Ah, lovely Lakeland autumnal colours. Some very nice woodland images there Stuart. Thanks for answering my (and others) question on framing and also the one that I meant to ask about printing - I'll look forward to that one as well.🙂 Hope the cold doesn't hit you too badly and thanks for the video.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers mate thanks for watching

[@bobmcdonald4834]

First up, hope you feel better soon Suart and kudos to you for getting out and doing a video at all! Really liked your first woodland composition - I find I'm increasingly loving woodland photography - very therapeutic but also very frustrating. So always ready to soak up tips and advice. Thanks again and take care 👍🙂

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers Bob yep the pano version of the first scene is one my favourites I've taken in a while

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I'm new to this channel and I'm subscribing. I really like the pano version of that first composition. I like woodland photography also; but since my area (downstate New York) gets little fog, it's sometimes a challenge. You've got great autumn colors, too. It's just nearing peak here. I look forward to more content.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks for subscribing John glad you enjoyed the video - best of luck with your autumn photography

[@ianlewisphotography]

Great video, can’t believe I wasn’t featured in one of your favourite images 😂😂😂

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Haha cheers mate

[@josephstanski5180]

Beautiful pano Stuart.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Thanks Joseph

[@jamesattenborough2597]

Wasn't expecting that!

[@StuartMcGlennon]

👍👍

[@dougmckillop9352]

Yes your thoughts on the 70-200 f2.8 would be of great interest given it’s serious cost compared to the great value 24 - 200. Not just the technical differences and optical superiority (which you would expect) but also your thoughts on the degree to which those differences might make any real world improvements to photos from a landscape photography perspective. I have that question in my own mind as a hobbyist. Thanks for the interesting videos! 🙏😊

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Hi Doug sorry I missed this - funnily enough the video with the comparison will be out shortly, the results will surprise many

[@dougmckillop9352]

@@StuartMcGlennon That’s very kind of you to pick up on my comment Stuart and to give me a heads up on that forthcoming vlog. I’ll watch that with interest!

[@stewillo86]

Another belting shot. The image from 2017 is definitely worth another mention. Fabulous! Question. How did you get the printer into it's final location?

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers buddy - the printer? Fairies I heard (and maybe some eastern bloc bloke and a forklift)

[@ianpinion4997]

Another great watch. Really like that panorama by the way. Was very much intrigued by your answer to that question regarding what has made you a better photographer. I've lost count years ago of the number of times I went to recce a location at completely the wrong time, both in terms of the time of day, the time of year and in completely the wrong conditions for any given location. The upshot being, I was completely blind to any possibilities that may have been there, because my initial gut reaction was one of utter disappointment. It's like I gave up looking before I even started. So, what should I have done instead. How do I open my eyes up to spot potential? Is it something you can train yourself to do or is it a case you've either got that ability or you haven't?

[@simonfitzhugh2044]

Rather taken by your carbon fibre brolly ☔🙂 The 70-200 is superb but heavy for lugging up hills although, like you brolly, the massive lens hood is great in the wet, looking forward to your thoughts 😀.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Yeah will be an interesting comparison, the 2.8 is undoubtedly a superb lens, is it 4x the quality in real world use for landscapes will be my question when its price is considered

[@simonfitzhugh2044]

@@StuartMcGlennon It is at 2 8 😂😂😂 Really the best is the vr with z7. You can handhold crazy slow shutter speeds while scanning for that intimate shot 🙂

[@andyjsmith1981]

Really enjoyed that mate!! Looking to get up to the motherland this weekend, have the trees turned now or is it still a bit 'on the turn' still? A printing vid would be awesome!! All the best, Andy

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Cheers mate it’s definitely shifted a bit though it’s about a week late of where it normally is I’d say

[@iaincphotography6051]

Still a worthwhile day out, did you say you are going to offer your printing service out to other photographers?

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Absolutely, really pleased with how the first pano came out. The printing for others is something I’ll be considering yes once I’ve looked at the numbers and if it’s worth it

[@iaincphotography6051]

@@StuartMcGlennon Good to hear, you have the skills and another string for your bow.

[@andrewroland]

I sent my 70-200 back, I felt the quality was just too poor. Maybe I had a dud? I was very disappointed as it’s just such a good and convenient range. I wish I could see one of these images in your video at a 100%. Great first image Stu, lovely colours.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

Really? You maybe had a duff copy. An F4 z mount would be the logical thing though they still have no plans to release once which is odd, though I must say this 24-200 is ridiculously sharp given its range

[@andrewroland]

@@StuartMcGlennon thanks for the reply Stu.

[@chloescanlon1107]

Your 24-200 you mean?

Yes Chloe

I did not get to the end of this talk talk talk to dammed much.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

You ok Barry you seem very frustrated?

[@barry10ish]

So to hell with the subscriber lets just be sarcastic and yes I am frustrated I watch these videos for photographic entertainment not to be bored out of my mind what an idiot you have just lost a subscriber.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

@@barry10ish Oh no, how will I ever sleep tonight knowing Barry the angry bedwetter isn’t a subscriber anymore!!! 😱😱 This might shock you Barry, in an amazing plot twist, your personal entertainment isn’t much of a priority to me, imagine that aye?? So when you come on here venting your frustration as if you’ve been personally offended by this video, you’ll understand when you get it back with interest. The problem with you Barry and many like you on social media these days is you’re happy to bash a keyboard in anger, just so long as you don’t get it back. So to sum up, in your case yes, to hell with the subscriber. Run along now I’m sure there’s more keyboard bashing for you to do 👍
