Brilliant again. Your landscapes and city photos prove that great images are all around us at any time of day, we just have to look for them

[@jeandaubas3252]

Thanks Craig : showing us directly on the screen the effect on histogram of positioning your filter is a brilliant idea. Cheers from France, Jean

[@alanpounds2660]

The histogram tip has solved a problem. Why didn't I think of that!!!

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

Craig - great to see you out and about once again. Always a treat to understand your approach to composition along with the excellent tip using the grad and histogram. I'll need to use that next time I'm out. Thank you for your work and cheers!

[@jerybis]

As usual, great music (triphop downtempo), great funny comments and good technical explanation. Antithesis of Thomas Heaton, Michael Bretung and Jani Nendl which I also appreciate. Very entertaining and pleasant to listen & watch. Happy to hear that your foot is recovering so that we can enjoy new vlogs.

[@bobclothier685]

Many thanks, Craig for such a well presented (as always) show. Your finished work always looks so honest. You make it happen in camera-rather than in a photo editing program and you talk "with" me rather than "at me". I like to remind my "Full Frame" friend that you don't always need the extra pixels to produce stunning work. I have both FF and APS-C (Nikon and Fuji XT) but no longer use the big fella.

[@aimeea6205]

The Peak District is a gorgeous place lovely pictures!

[@billbaker4970]

That is a good tip with the histogram and grad filters. Thanks

[@garypentecost833]

Loved it ,proves you don't have to set an alarm clock

[@terrywyllie4703]

Nicely done. Enjoyed your comments and thought process as you walked through shots.

[@filippodordoni6380]

Great shot Craig, simple and effective!!!

[@waynebritton5596]

Thanks Craig. Another inspiring video. Hope that foot injury is okay now. I had a similar thing last year, but fortunately it didn't hinder a trip to Scotland, where I was able to get some great photos around the lochs. Loved your histogram tip. Very helpful.

[@stephenhunt7655]

If I learn anything from a video even if it’s a quick tip then I feel the video is a success in my book. The histogram tip you mentioned did it for me. Love your videos thanks for sharing on KZbin and I hit the “ Bell”.

[@Quaker521]

Great video as usual. Lovely images and some useful information to boot! Many thanks.

[@paulashcroft556]

Hi Craig, another interesting vlog; understated and practical, much appreciated.

[@fragiskosm9778]

Brilliant video, very entertaining and pleasant to watch!

[@emmanuelvaisman5193]

The thumb down must be from a sunset photographer!😂

[@markdayphotography7948]

Fantasic vlog Craig with fantastic shots. The histogram tip is such an obvious one - doh! Great to see you out and about again - just in time for autumn - perfect timing.

[@VasilisKaramanlis]

Always enjoyable!

[@royhall415]

another good one craig

[@ImolaS3]

Using the histogram to set the position of the grads reminds me of our recent Liverpool 1-to-1 where i told you that i was struggling and you described this method. Used it several times since and can finally set the grads :) Also the heather reminds me of my first solo shots after the session :) Lovely video

[@MrAfro1979]

I've watched so much content on KZbin as rookie photographer and your is far the best! Your videos are so inspiring, without any useless 'sauce' to sell. Excellent work sir!

[@srhphoto1]

Enjoyed that Craig. Great video.

[@clanelliott0305]

Yet another great video with a great tip about using the histogram when using a grad filter. Never seen anyone else advise that. Many Thanks. C

[@williar1961]

Great vlog Craig 😀😀

[@Schmitzchen]

So good!

[@searam1]

I hope you are well! Blessings your way... Oh yeah, excellent video!

[@alanbrunelle1546]

Histogram tip was spot on - lovely images and a well paced instructional video. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@DavidLaCivita]

Another great video! Thanks!

[@rodd1000]

Much prefer your videos than that 'other' YT blogger tog. Keeping it real and doesn't make a song and dance every time they let out a fart.

[@edwardlee1815]

Thanks for a great histogram tip. I will be using it. Nice images. I look forward to your videos, keep up the great work.

[@runninblue9415]

Great style, refreshingly different, always a good education in finding a shot out of seemingly nothing. Thanks 😁

[@westenbergerstephan5955]

I really enjoyed this vblog. Great work and well explained!!!

[@davide1224]

Hi Craig, great and informative video as usual. For info the rock formation is called Shelter Rock. Keep up the good work, it is so inspiring

[@erichstocker4173]

Really great stuff you do. I just couldn't restrict. I had to subscribe. I want to see the extra stuff because I want to see what your creative vision sees next. Whether landscapes or handheld street scenes. You do great stuff. As the Brits always seem to say: Brillant!

[@jeetts59]

Beautiful shots, very inspirational. I've reinstated my Nikon FE2 and really enjoying using film again, making me think a lot more before taking that shot.

[@MrCochise71]

Fantastic . 👌👌

[@casuconsulto4252]

I think you're the one of the first photo-vloggers I've seen acknowledge that "the light" isn't everything, and emphasize that you can shoot in every light as long as there is light. Yes, certain spaces are best photographed in certain conditions, but the light isn't the only thing you need to take a good picture. Perhaps it's because I'm not a landscape photographer, so I don't put so much emphasis on the "right" light, but it's kind of frustrating to see people downplay the quality of their photos just because they're not perfectly lit and "just so" when the weather/light/other conditions aren't right. So thank you for that. And thank you for the histogram tip, it's super helpful!

[@kenny75photography2]

Well said, Paula, some of these KZbin photographers drive me mad with their insistance on catching the perfect light to get their images.

[@garyclayton4652]

Great Photography.

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Thank you! for histogram tip. Good it as it is.... all....,

[@kenny75photography2]

Another great video, Craig, it makes me want to go out and shoot some heather shots also although I'm probably a bit late now myself. Either or that or a nice rapeseed field is also great for shots but I probably missed out on that too! Anyway, great images as always, will need to check out the Peak district sometime myself in future.

[@markharris5771]

I clicked on the video just based on the thumbnail, then realising it was one of yours is definitely a win win situation. Another great video, they are always so informative and entertaining and definitely no "rules" that we MUST do. I'm more than a little ambiguous around sunrises/sets, if they add something to an image I think they are ok. However, when they become the subject, or even overpower whatever is supposed to be the subject and saturation is taken to the highest setting in the editing program my reaction is either "meh" or "urgh". To me they are merely lighting, and we don't take images of our studio strobes. I hope you foot is feeling better now, and thank you for making the video.

[@jamesmcconnell3237]

Craig, I so enjoy your videos and the resulting photographs. If I were in the UK, I would love to attend a workshop with you. Keep up the good work!

[@davesemmens9496]

Lovely video as usual - I always struggle with good compositions on Higger Tor, but your heather shot from there shows I need to look harder :) Sunrise has been good to photographers in the Peaks over the last week - the low mist has really been great.

[@Sayef_Li]

thank you for the tips :D

[@wahabdilawar]

I just noticed and was shocked to see that you have ONLY 13k subscribers.

[@PaulMiguelPhotography]

Top video with some very appealing images. Soft light, lovely textures and moody skies. Feel like I've been watching Craig Roberts.

[@e6Vlogs]

Cheers Paul. How's your KZbin adventure going?

[@PaulMiguelPhotography]

I'm enjoying it thanks. Really need to do another wildlife one. There's lots of landscape photography channels and quite a bit of macro but very little Wildlife Photography in the field - so I think there's a niche for what I do. You're doing really well for subscribers Craig.. and views! Well deserved.

[@e6Vlogs]

That's 2.5 years hard work and abuse Paul. Now as you say, everyone's doing it!

[@PaulMiguelPhotography]

Yeah, but most of the videos really aren't as good as yours. Look forward to seeing more.

[@barryh2000]

Not sure if it's already been mentioned Craig, but you did ask, the groups of rocks is called Shelter Rocks and looking at the hidey hole, it's pretty easy to see why. Thanks for the video.

[@e6Vlogs]

Thanks for that info Mike

[@eltinjones4542]

I've clicked that bell - I've no life 😂. No seriously another informative Vlog 👌

[@roberts693]

Hi Craig. Really enjoyed the vlog. An interesting bit of info regarding how You Tube works regarding ratings. I never knew that. I've therefore given it a thumbs up. Regards. Robert.

[@PaulMiguelPhotography]

Me too. Great vid as always.

[@taylorrobshaw1867]

Good video

[@kirtipatel9222]

I. Like. It. Good

[@JasonEdwardsPhotography]

Another brill video.thanks. one question and I know you said before in another video but I can't find it. On a budget for my first filter for my canon 600 plus 10 20 mm sigma 77mm please suggest one for me.much ablidged.

[@sarundayo]

That music was super chilled. Are you a fan of low-fi or vaporwave Craig?

[@e6Vlogs]

I would probably be trying to be too cool if I said the genre! I just like what I like!!

[@titouyou1]

Watching all your videos, one after another (like chocolate treets if you see what I mean) I have noticed that when shooting vertical pictures the camera is always slightly inclined forwards. I understand that you might consider that as better way to balance the size sky in you composition than just placing your tripod in a lower position. But it is just an assumption. As I wish to improve my vertical photographing technique could tell me more about this ?

[@GaryScott-pdx]

Why do you use graduated filters instead of HDR?

[@e6Vlogs]

Old Skool! I prefer to be out in the landscape, than behind a computer.

[@williamconnell6541]

Glad you got rid of that annoying body hair you missed on your cheek at the start of your video :),all about the details.And also happy you mentioned other photographers wouldn't be out in your conditions, there is a large gap between sunset and sunrise, no that should be the other way around, cheers.

[@phillipmartin9532]

Thumbs down! What's that about? Craig's E6 vlogs can take your photography to the next level. I've just gone back to shooting film and everything about composition is just as important. Lots of information in these posts. Thank you

[@godofhope]

Every smartphone user shoots a prime ;) so no more an argument to be a real photographer ;)

[@michaelhalligan2838]

I have done the very unusual, but give you a thumbs down for the first time. Why? because you was saying when using a grad to look at the histogram. Sorry but my Nikon D90 and I assume many other camera users do not have that feature, so please dont explain that what is not necessarily the norm.

[@MrSunworshiper]

Michael Halligan The D90 does have a histogram in playback mode. You will just need to take a picture and review it. Adjust grade accordingly.

[@e6Vlogs]

So, i get a thumbs down because your camera is quite old! LOL
