Consider THIS before buying a NEW CAMERA !

In today's on-location video, I take to the mountains of the Lake District national park to shoot some landscape photography and chat about things to consider before buying a new camera. Today's landscape photography vlog comes from lake Buttermere which is situated right in the heart of the Lake District.

Great advice and great images!

[@ian_worth]

Glad you liked it!

[@_noahrh]

You UK guys are so lucky to have the Lake District!!! It's absolutely beautiful and seems pretty accessible!

[@petercollins7848]

Agree about gear update obsession. I have never spent more than £199 on a camera body (used). I have also printed to A3 from an at least 10 year old 5MP bridge camera. It is what the photo is ‘about’ (story), not how sharp it is, or how many MPs the file is. Photography is something to be enjoyed, not something to break the bank! 😫

[@ian_worth]

Very true buddy, thanks for watching 👍👍🙏

[@tomwolters5973]

What a morning and great results Ian ... and with the camera equipment I agree with you 100% - good point.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

[@aminmotin]

@8.43 - what excellent advice. Spend money on people, experiences and *then* things ( in that order).

[@ian_worth]

So true 🙏👍

[@tuftyhill]

Hi Ian regarding losing kit weight I've just bought the Fuji 70-300mm lens as it offers a great focal length especially when paired with the 1.4x. It's half the weight of the 50-140mm and I'm looking to also get the 16-80mm (again lighter than the 16-55mm) as I reckon they're the perfect lenses when out hiking in the fells or wild camping. when f2.8 is not required. I'm really impressed with the images from the 70-300mm. I love the last 2 images. Stunning reflections. I've never had conditions like that at that location, it just means I'll have to keep returning 😉

[@ian_worth]

Cheers Paul, yes i am leaning towards the 70-300, I'm going to get a loan soon to try it out. i think it could make a big difference to my pack weight.

[@KevinNordstrom]

Alot of larger youtubers sell out. you are a breathe of fresh air in the photography community. Always Stay true and humble brother. cheers.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, means a lot 😊👍🙏

[@HunterMcDowellPhotography]

As always, good advice and beautiful photos. Love your work!

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

[@darrenkitchin3478]

Excellent video Ian, very enjoyable.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy 😊

[@jml7916]

Used gear is my secret. Nikon D810, Sony A7rii. Both under $1500, high res and a huge lens selection. I built my 42mp system with 6 lenses for less than the price of a Canon R6 body or any of the over 30mp new bodies.

[@ian_worth]

Bravo, Thanks for watching buddy, 😊👍🙏

[@slowtrain162]

Agree totally, I do The same thing,

[@opotopo1]

Brilliant photos Ian. Thank you.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, glad you liked it 😊👍🙏

[@chrispoulsen_]

It’s funny how people tend to go for bigger cameras and more megapixels for large prints. But the larger the print the less PPI you need. Also a good point on how galleries were 10 years ago. Better invest in better glass and experiences. Great video 👍

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 🙏👍👍

[@nicholasmiles1194]

Really great video Ian.....kicked back with a beer in those Bermuda Triangle days after Christmas. Inspiration that I was in desperate need of to appreciate what gear I have and just get out there - nice one!

[@Paul9]

Great video Ian, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I’m fed up of KZbin recommending gear related videos. As humans we’ve evolved to be dissatisfied with what we currently have and desire something better, only for the cycle to start again once we have it. We have this anxiety that one day in the distant future this amazing opportunity will occur where we get the chance to produce massive prints and that we’ll reget not buying that 100mp camera... 😱 I’ve really been making the effort to be grateful for the camera gear I have and the ability to get out and take photos, I genuinely feel the most at ease in my photography than ever. I’ve actively been trying to avoid channels who play the gear card to get view although I can understand it’s tempting to boost viewing numbers. One particular channel springs to mind with a move to GFX. I can only imagine the thousands of subscribers now thinking their Fuji X is now substandard and must be upgraded. All the best and keep up the videos, enjoy your content and mentality.

[@SniperPhotography]

Well Said Paul

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Paul, great comment, I agree with everything you said 😊👍

[@jeremiahlarry9105]

I guess it is pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online ?

[@henriksalvador8958]

@Jeremiah Larry Meh I use flixportal. just google after it:D -henrik

[@jeremiahlarry9105]

@Henrik Salvador Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!

[@tilerman]

If there is one thing i have learn't from this video, one thing, it's that i need to get out of the city. Hand on my heart, i live in central London and have not seen a vista like that for years. That's a sad admission but true. Such a beautiful, beautiful, peaceful looking place. This year.....!

[@ian_worth]

You should go, it really is a special place 👍👍

[@MehdiMirian]

Beautiful scenery and photos, great advice!

[@ian_worth]

Many thanks 👍🙏

[@alasdairsphotoblography6115]

Fantastic video and gorgeous shots. If I want a new lens now I must sell one I already have slows me down and it focuses me on asking what is important in my photography now. Try to keep to about 3, wide, mid prime and Tele. Borrowing a photo book from library helps as well unlike you tube they rarely talk gear.

[@robertwalton999]

Excellent Video Ian up with your best. One of my favourite places in the lakes. Sound advice as well.

[@ian_worth]

I shot that lone tree about 20 years ago and had the place to myself. Didn't think it was possible these days!! Nice one!

[@albertomeroni9006]

The first two photo are really good! But the last two are astonishing! Congratulation Ian!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy 😊👍🙏

[@ianford9661]

Stunning shots Ian ! Great advice about acquiring new gear too! Looking forward to your next video.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, glad you liked it 😊👍🙏

[@jonstout7635]

Enjoyed your video and comments. Your location and photos were amazing. Your thoughts on new gear are so true. I liken getting new gear is often like the golfer who keeps buying a new $500 driver, when spending more time using what he has with a few more lessons will reap great benefits. Photographers like you have greatly helped me to use the cameras I already have at a whole new level. Thanks!

[@ian_worth]

Awesome, thank you! 👍👍🙏

[@URSENIORUTUBER55]

Thank you for your concise and informative video. Your thoughts on “new camera” equipment is to the point and extremely sensible. I just came across tour channel today and have subscribed. I love landscape photography and shoot with either my XT3 or OMD Em1 miii having gone mirrorless two years ago. I recently purchased a Fringer EF-FX PRO II Fuji Auto Focus Mount Adapter on sale , which enabled me to make good use of some of my Canon Lenses that have been sitting idle since my switch to mirrorless. It pairs perfectly with the XT3 and I am thrilled at the results that it allows me to achieve. Wishing you the very best. Mike

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for the sub Mike, much appreciated buddy 👍👍👍

[@jeffstephenson5633]

Stunning images Ian just stumbled across your channel because you were at Buttermere excellent upload .

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, glad you liked it 😊👍🙏

[@SteveP_2426]

I arrived too late in the day at Buttermere last Autumn but will be there in June and October (🤞🤞) so hoping for some still water there - never seem to be lucky that way. Wise words on gear...I'm weighing ip a set of the Kase magnetic filters and Acratech Pano head at the moment but I do have filters and ball head so trying to take my time in deciding!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, glad you liked it 😊👍🙏

[@MrKoalalan]

stunning location! great pics you take .....blame on you ..... you ruin my day ..... I crying to sleep .... what scene what a tree stop that 😂 perfect the best so far I see from you . I agree about new gear but I still use a xt1 with vintage lenses and a xt2 with XF lenses ...... no need to upgrade

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, Keep shooting 👍👍👍

[@reyvinre]

Brilliant video Ian, so relaxing and with great tips. Totally agree with you on spending to reach other places. Fantastic shots by the way!

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🙏

[@ashstubbings2603]

Stumbled across your channel completely by accident, and enjoyed the video so much I've subscribed!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, glad you liked it and many thanks for the sub😊👍🙏

[@artsilva]

I agree with everything you said when considering new gear and the reasons why most of us do not need to fall for the MP Race as I call it. The last nine years of my life long photography endeavors I have been shooting Fujifilm crop sensors. Love them btw, however the last year had me looking into Nikon again but this time mirrorless. Why? because I have many Nikkor glass from the Ai-S versions to the AF-S G series that are not being used as they were intended and I wanted a FF Nikon to take full advantage of the image circle of these lenses rather than crop variations adapted to my Fuji or DX Nikon DSLRs. I was romanced by the 45mp Z7 but also felt the 24mp Z5 was more practical, then in comes the current sale of the Z5, so I jumped on it. Now I have two different 24mp systems and I honestly don't yet feel the need to go any higher, for now, that there should cover anything I want to shoot. I have been known to panorama stitch my landscapes on occasion so that takes care of high MP resolution needs in a pinch if I need.

[@ian_worth]

Nice one buddy, great info 👍👍

[@NolaPierre]

I wasn't expecting the tree photo to be in black and white, but it was a great choice. That shot was so much more impactful without color.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked the BW shot 😊👍🙏

[@renedenengelsman8174]

I cant seem to find out what tripod head you are using in this video? Thanks for your answer!

[@nigelbramley4188]

Stunning area isn't it? Nice set of images Ian, but the advice on travel as opposed to chasing mega pixels was spot on. Excellent work.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

[@GingerCaptures]

Another great Vlog Mr w, I've never managed to get them conditions on Buttermere..... I'm still using my secondhand XT2 and love it, don't think I'll be upgrading for a while.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, Keep shooting 👍👍👍

[@JamesBellLandscapePhotography]

Good to see you enjoying Buttermere Ian. Lovely images.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks James, a wonderful location mate. 🙏🙏

[@tomaswilde5481]

Congratulations! A nice and very interesting lesson. I respectfully suggest you do post-production with affinity photo. Just look at this fantastic software and try it out.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@jeffweikum8306]

Beautiful images. Thanks for sharing both the photos and your take on buying new equipment vs investing into going to new locations once restrictions lift. GAS is definitely a problem for some of us. Thanks for your content.

[@ian_worth]

You're very welcome, glad you liked it 😊🙏🙏

[@felixcomms]

Nice one Ian and Good advice :)

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy 😊👍🙏

[@robertdavis1255]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and advice...I should have spent funds on better glass instead of upgrading my camera... always learning as a hobbyist & just enjoy taking pics... cheers 😀..

[@ian_worth]

Keep shooting buddy 🙏👍😊

[@guywilliam]

You could look at the Gitzo Traveler, it was the best compromise when I was looking. I shaved about 1kg changing my tripod and head. I also mounted a small QR plate (with the help of a grinder) to the 100-400 which saves weight/space over the usual options and is more stable, the leg mount has a bit of give. Quite rewarding to lighten your bag.

[@ian_worth]

I'll check it out! 🙏🙏👍

[@mikeharman2046]

LOL Canceld pre order yesterday for GFX 100S and lens for the very reasons you talked about . great video as always.

[@ian_worth]

Awesome, keep shooting buddy 👍👍

[@kaid3566]

Great video! I just made some 12x18 prints from my "ancient" 24mp Fujifilm XT2 and I've got no complaints about the sharpness. I could probably go even larger with a bit of extra sharpening. I feel that I've absolutely no reason to upgrade my camera, and I'd sooner spend some $$ on another lens, a trip, or maybe a photography workshop.

[@mortenthorpe]

Maybe a soft grad reverse nd filter of 6-10 stops would be amazing for the first shot in this video?

[@ian_worth]

👍👍

[@antonoat]

I can't believe that someone went to the trouble to place that dead tree there to give something for foreground interest, so many more potential images without resorting to placing props lol. Obviously not blaming you Ian. Great work as usual from you.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy 😊👍🙏

[@richardstorier6172]

Hi Ian, good advice I spent a week on the Faroes in 2019 with Nigel and Mads, came away with some of my best images, well worth the money and had an amazing time, but was exhausting!

[@ian_worth]

That's awesome, would love to go to the Faroes. Bet you had fun with Nigel and Mads 👍👍

[@carlosm9323]

What is the max print size that you have done with your XT4 pictures, either for sale or just for your collection?

[@ian_worth]

A2 but i see no reason you cant go to A0 with the new super res feature in photoshop 👍👍

[@carlosm9323]

@@ian_worth Thank you Sir for your reply, so an A2 size = 16-1/2 x 23-3/8 inches, correct?

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

I've got a 4' x 3' print on my wall made with my X-T3. It's more than detailed enough. I've got a GFX100S on order to replace my 50R but I'm going to cancel it. I realised I would be buying the camera just for the sheer sake of it with no sound business or artistic reasoning. If my 50R ever breaks then I'll get one but until then I'll stick with my 51.2MP and 26MP cameras.

[@ian_worth]

Cheers man, great advice 🙏👍👍

[@scrptwic]

In daylight I cannot tell the difference of a picture photographed on my 6 megapixel camera versus my 24 megapixel cameras both work fine for landscapes and 8x10 prints.

[@ian_worth]

very true 👍👍🙏

[@ison5622]

buy the best gear and lenses you can afford, seriously research lenses, many 3rd party lenses are as good if not better for a fraction of the price, its great to live in epic places but epic shots come locally find a composition then visit that spot many times through a year you WILL get that epic shot guaranteed, great vid love your content.

Champion, I have XT3 I’ve been using for photos and I would love to start make hiking videos as well. I’m thinking about get a XT4 for videos. Any thoughts on this? Hahhaha

Hi Ian, do you blend two RAWs in photoshop or JPEGs? I though most software programs could only blend JPEGs? Apologies for my ignorance.

At 4:48 was that ice on the lake?

No ice, but it was a little chilly 👍

[@nevillewatkins4997]

I suppose YT's algorithms do work. Although, I can't say they bother me all that much. If I become interested in a particular piece of gear I will start looking and finding out about it then, but it won't be because it's the latest thing.

Nice video Ian, but . . . I hate that spindly tree. It's such an overused cliche IMO and always manages to look naff.

Great video Ian. Buttermere is a beautiful location and, as always, beautiful shots. Have you considered running meditation workshops?😂

[@ian_worth]

I do enjoy meditation from time to time 🙏🙏👍

[@tonysimpkins1783]

I thought the "Lone Tree" was out of bounds at the moment because of the temporary closure of the footpath along that stretch of the lake shore (because of nesting sandpipers).

[@stevejacksonphotography]

“If you're planning to walk round the lake at Buttermere, keep in mind that each spring we close a short stretch of permissive footpath along the north edge of the lake from the beginning of April through to the end of June to provide a sanctuary for nesting sandpipers.”

[@ian_worth]

It was filmed before the closure 👍

[@Foxglove963]

New camera? Film camera!!

[@philipculbertson55]

I guess I am of the opposite nature. If a video title seems to be related to a new camera or lens, I specially don't watch that one. I get enough ads in the content I do want to watch without having to watch a video that is in itself an ad.This especially true with donated or loaned cameras. It is extremely unusual to see a real critical review of donated gear or loaned gear so I just skip them and watch something different.

[@rodschweiger4195]

Tape over the camera brand logo, what gives? Just curious.

[@ian_worth]

When I shoot weddings I tape my logos, it stops uncle bob asking questions. Sometimes i just forget to take the tape off 👍🤣

[@jacobcarandang8618]

Better gear does not equal better photographer 99.9% of the time. Once the photos are edited I bet the vast majority can’t tell the difference between a GFX photo and X series photo unless they’re cropped in over 200% pixel peeping side by side. Plus the size of the lenses and 100mp files are really going prevent you from shooting as often and improving.
