Create Powerful WINTER Landscape PHOTOS with These Easy On-Location Tips!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Have you been able to capture any snowy landscapes this year?

[@ddki9094]

Yes. I go to a local park about a mile away from where I live. Nothing terribly special but there are some very nice trees in there that hang over a path to create the 'tunnel of trees' and when the snow sticks to them it can look good. The problem this winter where I live is that we haven't had a lot of the really wet snow that sticks to the trees but rather the really dry light fluffy snow because it's been cooler this year; so the wind blows the snow off the trees as soon as it falls on them.

[@ricardotejeda6530]

Definitely been able to get out to a spot on the NC/TN border that I love all times of the year, but is especially beautiful in the winter. And another fellow introvert here who loves the solitary and meditative aspects of landscape photography along with the escapism it offers.

Mark, having been terminally shy earlier in life, and never having outgrown it, I appreciated so much your 'confession' today. You are no weirdo. You are genuine, and that is why I have subscribed and followed you weekly on your channel. Do what is comfortable for you. You are the reason we watch.

[@michelekutner4229]

Mark, I totally get you! I'm the same way.. I just love going into the woods and it's just me and my Birds...you're not a weirdo at all..I love the person you are..that's why I follow you. You're a very peaceful man and you're an amazing photographer and videographer...keep up the amazing work ..thank you for another great video

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

This means a lot Michele - thanks so much for the kind words!

[@glendarowland51]

Mark, as an Aussie, I find your gentle, engaging and genuine nature is an attractive attribute, and one of the reasons I subscribe to your channel. You aren’t cocky, or over confident. Talking to a camera in an inside setting is hard, let alone an outside instructive setting. Keep doing on-location videos. You’re better than you think.

[@bernardfleming8998]

As one introvert to another I want to thank you for your ability to be open and honest. I suspect that landscape photography attracts more introverts than extroverts. Being comfortable in your own skin as you are enables you to produce great vlogs and create wonderful images. I found it very refreshing to remind me that being an introvert is an okay place to be. Thanks!

[@JohnSmith-nt5sx]

This is one of the many reasons I make sure I see your videos every week. You are real, humble and a good person - on top of a being a photographer I learn from and respect. Thank you and I imagine most of us completely understand where you are coming from! I hope you are having a great day!

[@JMck12]

I am an introvert. Many times in my life I felt like I was weird because of it, but can you imagine where landscape or nature photography would be without us. WE WERE MADE FOR THIS!!!... n we are AWESOME!

[@margaritan6622]

You're not nuts! I can spend weeks and weeks alone and never feel lonely, bored or miss people. Landscape photography is a lonely hobby/job, but for me it's perfect. I'm much more of a thinker than a talker hence I don't need social interaction. Thanks for sharing more of yourself in this video.

[@JeremyBobbitt]

Trust me... It is refreshing to see somebody just being a real guy and not hamming it up for the camera. We don't need any more "wacky morning dj" voice folks than there already are. Thanks for the reliably helpful and relatable videos.

[@deepotter6774]

You’re anything but nuts, Mark! This is possibly your greatest video IMO. You’re self-awareness and honesty is not only refreshing on this “KZbin Look-at-Me!” forum, it’s very much needed. “Be proud of who you are” is the message you’re sending here, and it’s one we all need to hear more often. There are so many photographers out there, me included, who need the solace of going out shooting solo to feel invigorated. And we get so much more accomplished without the distractions of others around. That said, I’d still welcome the opportunity to go out shooting with you again anytime 😊

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

You’re the man Dee! Always appreciate your comments - and I too would like to go out shooting with you again as well! Iceland 2022?!?1?

11:00 I can relate 100%. I am also an introvert and refuel when out on a good hike alone with my camera trying to capture what I see. I just moved up to Marquette, Mi for the Landscape and the MTB trails everywhere. I moved alone but having so much outdoors right out my door now it has been awesome and has really helped with keeping myself busy living alone. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan should be on every photographers location list imo. Thanks for the videos they have really helped me reshape my photography and goals for it. Stay warm out there this winter.

I remember you mentioning being introverted in other videos. As an introvert myself, it has always amazed me that you do so well in front of the camera. I couldn't imagine recording myself for the world to see. Keep up the good work!

[@brianm.9062]

made me smile, I love being out alone, just the thoughts, I reckon you get a deeper perspective of your surroundings, and an appreciation of how nature can make you feel, try to explain why its your fav tree to someone who just does not get the feelings, you can't! its just there.. I also do a little work with people and I look ok, the confident guy...... after I am so freaked out I need the walk in the woods. You hit the nail on the head, that's why we all follow you hey 196k people can't be wrong.

[@danielpittman889]

Fellow introvert here. That van is dope. Re: cold feet - one pair of medium-thickness socks should work, provided your boots are sized large enough to allow some air movement. I used to layer up socks and I found it was cutting off my circulation. Here's my go-to setup: Keen work boots 1/2 size larger than my feet. Homemade insoles of reflectix radiant barrier. Ariat cushioned insoles (I wore out the ones that came with my boots). Smartwool medium-thickness wool socks (not too tight, just right). And that's it. Stay hydrated, keep your bladder empty, eat some fat and carbs. Lots of thin loose layers for clothing - nothing restrictive. I'm a southerner living in Colorado - it took a bit of trial and error to be warm in the snow. Good luck! And thanks for the video.

[@neilwindsor-jones993]

Thanks for being so honest. You don’t need to worry about how you come across or what others think of you. You have a wonderful understanding of you own mental health needs and that is a wonderful place to be. I love your channel and respect your knowledge and thank you for sharing.

[@valerieleblanc6269]

As a fellow introvert I appreciate how well you explained things. It explains why I have always been happiest going out to shoot alone (although I have gotten comfortable with my husband coming along). It made living through pandemic restrictions much easier for me and in fact made it a time in which I was able to further develop my photography skills. Thanks for sharing.

[@billhartman8217]

I'm a extroverted introvert. 😁 I Love being around other like minded people at times but Nature has a much better connection to inner Peace and Joy. Your video was well done. No one would have noticed your discomfort. I hope you made time to simply surrender to what you Love.

As an introvert and artist myself, I recharge being in my own space and (amazingly) watching landscape photographers like yourself adds to my calm while I create! You're not a weirdo, we are many..thanks for speaking on this ☺

[@ScottMckeagan]

Hey Mark, thank you for your honesty and for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. There are so many of us that share the same introvert "trait" and respect the difficulty of being on camera. That being said, I for one prefer the more educational style videos that you produce and continue to look forward to them each and every week. When I am in the field I am more likely to recall what you said about composing a scene or remembering to shoot to the right on the histogram for snowy scenes than I am about what location you were in. There is a place for that but that's not what I think of when watching your videos. You are a natural educator regardless of the location you choose to do it in. Now go change the batteries in your clock! 🙂

[@basiljoe7302]

Thanks for being authentic and sharing about your experience as an introvert and the anxieties you feel… am sure this will help validate and normalize many who struggles with anxiety.

[@kylieellis6268]

I have a lot of respect your honesty! The last few years have been very extremely challenging for me and my camera is helping me heal. Photography gives me the opportunity to do what I want, with or without others and I enjoy the quiet while I'm refuelling. Thank you for your videos - I look forward to next weeks insight!

[@peytoncook6882]

You are in no way weird! I never want to take pictures of people that aren't maybe friends or family. Too much pressure on top of the socialization. Landscape photography is where it's at and I appreciate you taking the time to teach us!

Great Job Mark 👏. “Introverts live in two worlds: We visit the world of people, but solitude and the inner world will always be our home.”

[@simonf6977]

Really enjoyed the on location video and appreciate that you took the opportunity to explain why you find this type of video harder to make. Please don’t think you are not good at this style, although you may not enjoy it (and I can’t ever imagine myself recoding video and taking pictures at the same time) I find it much more genuine and enjoyable than the more confident studio Mark.I think there’s a number of people making photography videos but for me, it’s the personality that makes the difference and I saw and heard that in this video.

Mark I found your candidness in this video to be compelling. Keep up the good work it's refreshing!

[@ktm0ice]

Hi Mark, I am an introvert too. A positive of it is I like to head out driving into the wilderness and get lost. I set my GPS up for "Home" before I venture in and after that just drive in totally random locations. When I am ready to leave, I just hit "home" and the GPS will guide me back out to civilization. The second positive is you don't need somebody to be with you for the company, less disappointment with cancellations because you don't need them, just wanted them.

[@zigatretjak75]

Some can do it, some cannot. Recharging is of prime importance and an investment for a sound future. Keep on going!

[@sarahinscotland]

I understand your feelings about being an introvert, especially as a creator. The second we pick up a camera to film ourselves, we exit the safe place from within. That is draining. We have to weigh the pros and cons of sharing what and when and how much. I have SO much admiration for people who can make weekly photography vlogs. You are not as weird as you might think…there are many of us who need quiet internal space to rest.

[@terrylstarks]

I’ve got an uncle who always told me “No one impressed him, because we’re all the same”. I was so shy I’d drive around the MacDonalds parking lot until I saw no one at the counter and then ran in and got my 3 cheeseburgers and run out. Then one day many years later, what my uncle said hit home and I started to remember all the great things I had missed due to this handicap, the images, the people I could have met and made friendships with. So yes I still re-charge in my quiet time in nature but I’m also trying to broaden my horizons by getting out and doing street photography. Sometimes I just walk around and not even ask someone if I can take their image, something I would never had done 10 years ago. Everything and every emotion has its place in our lives. But not to rule over us!!!!! We must rule them!!!! Thanks again for a great thought provoking video!!!!!

[@Idigemall]

Absolutely not weird. That’s exactly why I enjoy Landscape and Wildlife photography. It’s my escape from anything human related.

[@ProfMary]

Mark, regarding cold feet...there are battery heated socks you can get. They have a single battery that you can tuck into your boot and it keeps your feet warm. Also I appreciate you talking about your desire to get outside and 'recharge'. Makes perfect sense to me and I am sorry that it involves the anxiety of videoing. So you do what you feel comfortable with and we will enjoy whatever you crack out on KZbin. Thank you for doing your videos. I always look forward to them.

[@nancybateman7378]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and really impressed with how you reworked your van! Nothing 'wrong' with sharing you being an introvert. You have a large group of us to support you.

Hi Mark, I have only just come across your KZbin video and I have enjoyed listening to you so much. I am fairly new to photography and have only been doing it a few years now (still a lot to learn!)

Another "weirdo" here, Mark. I'm a massive introvert, I've been that way for 67 years, and I don't have the need or the expectation of changing at this point in my life. Couldn't if I wanted to. I occasionally go out shooting with friends, but my preference is to go out on my own. I deal with people every day at work, and it just drains me. When it's just me and my camera, that's my "me" time, and it brings me back to life. It doesn't have to be wilderness, either. I'm just as happy on my own in the heart of the city. Any place I'm not expeced to actually interact with people works for me. Love your videos! I've learned more from you than from any other KZbin photographer.

[@RobZ1967]

I got a couple great shots during our first measurable snowfall (it was a good storm)... I love the winter weather!! And it's interesting about recharging - I am an extrovert, but I also use landscape photography as my way to recharge my batteries because it slows me down and I do enjoy that time of solitude, peace, and quiet (with the background noise of rustling leaves and a stream or waterfall).

[@kraigt22]

Thanks for sharing, Mark! I enjoy watching your videos very much, no matter your approach. I appreciate all the helpful information.

[@mathiasmirheim2705]

Good video and there is nothing wrong of being introverted. I’m sort of semi introverte. It’s a good thing that you bring up the topic because many think there is something wrong with them just for that reason. I have a tip for you about cold feets. Buy merino wool socks (pretty thick) and the winterboots should be a size to big. If the boots are to tight there will be too little air inside to keep the warmth. In the extra space if it’s really cold, you can fit some home knitted rag socks (those are the best) in there as well. Switched from cotton to wool socks a couple of years ago and since then I stopped freezing.

Interesting information Mark, I also prefer to do things by myself usually. Even as a Critical Care Nursing Educator (retired) I preferred working 1:1 or in small groups of students. Landscape photography gives me the freedom to do what I want to do without interacting with others. Thomas Heaton has said the same about his preference to work alone and finds it impossible to do VLO work near other people. We are an odd breed but I love it. Thanks for sharing, Cheers.

Great video, Mark. Photography has been my passion for many years. I was a police photographer for 30 years and took the usual accident and crime scene photos. You can imagine the things I saw and had to capture on film in a dispassionate, technical way. Grabbing my gear and doing landscapes on my off time really cleared my head and let my creativity flow. It gave me a Zen like calmness away from the horrors that I had to witness.

[@jayholland3147]

I can totally relate to being an introvert and getting the most enjoyment out my photography when I am out shooting landscapes on my own. I hate feeling rushed like someone is waiting on me, and there are so many skills I am trying to perfect that I need to the time to think things through. I did my one and only wedding for a friend of mine as a favor, and I was a mess, stressed, rushed, working with new equipment and didn't enjoy myself at all. I really felt out of my element. It drove home the point that I love landscape and my solitude all the more. Thanks for sharing more about yourself. It was very relatable.

Cheers to being an introvert! It’s not weird, we are just conditioned to think we are. Eventually, we accept who we are and learn to use it to our advantage. We do excel at doing task that are immersive like landscape photography (I’m a design engineer by day). The toughest thing is getting others to realize how draining it can be to be to put your self out into social situations. Judging by the other comments, you are amongst friends.

Very insightful and open. You definitely have a very soothing persona which is helpful to all. It’s generally therapeutic to listen to you. I suspect most don’t realize the enormous amount of work that goes into making videos that accompany a trek and photo session in the outdoors or any situation really. The b-roll, the angles etc… I think it’s a good idea for any KZbin artist to have multiple non KZbin options/income streams so that on can comfortably take that inevitable much need rest from time to time. Kinda like the Athlete that got their degree and alternate profession as a backup in case they suffer a career ending injury. Thanks for your always worthwhile content👍🙏

Nothing wrong with being an introvert Mark. There are lots of us out there.

Mark, as you've probably noticed by now you (ironically) have a lot of company in being introverted! I'm guessing being out shooting landscapes appeals to us exactly for all the reasons you described. Even before picking up a camera, I would happily go out for a day of skiing alone. And your reasons for not filming on location much make perfect sense to me...even just taking quick "behind the scenes" shots on my phone (for Instagram stories or whatever) breaks my feeling of flow....well, when I even remember to stop and take them 😂 I can only imagine how much more disruptive filming it all would be. Keep on keeping on 👍

Thank you for sharing the personal stuff also. I view a lot of things diffrently than most people and it's reviving to know there are others also. I'm more of an overthinker which turns me into an intrevert. That's why I refuse to shoot people even though many people always ask me to. I also prefer to shoot alone or with one person, too many people and I lose the enjoyment. Keep up the great work!

[@billhartman8217]

I'm with you on your statement about Nature being your recharge port. lol I apprenticed with a Wedding/Portrait photographer for a year. I then shot weddings and portraits on my own for a while. And while helping people see their Magnificence, and Beauty is rewarding, I never really "in my element" until I started getting serious about Landscape and wildlife photography. I usually go into the field with my long lens on, just incase I see wildlife, I'll shoot landscapes with it too until I get closer or need a wide angle lens. I Love your posts and pointers. Keep up the good work.

Great video Mark and GO DAWGS! So happy Kirby was able to bring a championship after 41 years! Really enjoyed your perspective and what really makes you happy in photography. It’s funny, I always thought of myself as an extrovert, but as I get older and I get out shooting landscapes, I find the introvert taking over. It is my natural blood pressure medicine. So, you hit all the nails on the head for me. Thank you for sharing! Winter has always been my weak spot in my catalog of shots. Love it, and the silence it brings. But just difficult to get out during the snow falls due to my job. Really great shots you got there. Keep up the great work 😎👍

Hi Mark. A very thoughtful video. I spent some time doing weddings saying yes to doing one was easy, the planning was fun even, but about a week before the event something hit & I used to start to almost panic, trying to think up excuses as to why I couldn't do it, hours before I would be on the verge of calling someone to say I was ill or my car had broke down or I had my gear stolen. But I turned up & something just takes over after the first couple of shots I was on auto & I loved it. I haven't done a wedding for ages I just have to think of the days just before & I find it much easier to say no. Landscape photography is good food for the soul, have fun, Enjoy.

Great video, Mark ! I agree with you 100% about the “ introversion factor .” Nothing is quite as nice as being alone in the woods with my camera and not being required to make clever conversation!

Yet another excellent video, your thoughts and insights are appreciated. Keep it up. Nearly 200,000 people can't be wrong.

I’m an extrovert but an introvert I suppose when it comes to photography. Focus is necessary and going out for yourself and getting in the zone means not stopping and talking to a camera. It is shooting for your “job” versus your personal time -totally makes sense. COLD FEET tip. Buy battery heated socks. I’m a downhill skier and my friend swears by them. She said they last a good 5 hours!

You be you man. Completely understandable. As a total hack at photography how you see those shots that I would just walk past a million times. Gosh,... inspiring yet frustrating to watch

Mark, Thanks for another insightful video. I'm glad you're embracing your introversion, it looks fine on you! Having spent thousands of hours alone in the woods, I totally get what it does for you. Now, if only I could acquire 10% of your photography skills...

Totally agree with you on the introvert thing. I’ve always been that way also and I’m good with it. Great video. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
