History & Culture - Photographing a Lake District Village

[@paulcookphotography]

Great video Chris! I really enjoyed this. Lovely little walkabout. Great addition to your channel, I would definitely like to see more of this.

[@wilsonwhanau5618]

Good video this one. Looking forward to more town walk arounds.

[@actionimagesphotography]

This might be your new "thing". Combining landscape photography and the beautiful country sides and towns of Britain. Well done.

[@rubberdiscoduck]

This is a great video to watch. Your knowledge of areas that you travel is most impressive.

[@philn1957]

Great video Chris, I love the Lake District so its perfect to learn more about the area.

[@malcolmross3782]

Hello Chris, interesting video with information on an area that may otherwise be past by. Your photographs will be a good record into the future. Thanks for sharing and remember to stay safe 😷

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Thank you for a wonderful tour.

[@tonyhayes9827]

Thank-you for respecting sacred ground. I live in Oz but I have worked in England and I really, really love the English village. Your closing statement was gold, Chris. All just my opinion, of course.

[@sander5086]

Really enjoyed this video Chris!! Love to see more video's like this, where you show us the villages of the Lake District.

[@Ktizo_Images]

A very enjoyable video, Thanks!

[@iainscott1289]

Loved this Chris. Think you could be on a winner here. 📷

[@davidknowles5519]

Great stuff Chris enjoyed walking with you

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

Chris, it is interesting to the areas of the Lake District. You also brought up good points about understanding the subjects of our photography. Thank you for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels -Craig

[@stephendarlington]

Another great video Chris, showing that the Lakes isnt all hills and grand vista. Hopefully we can see more of these, showing the beauty and history of the lesser known villages

[@jimwlouavl]

Lovely video, Chris. You are a skilled cinematographer as well as photographer.

[@mannymota3442]

I really enjoyed this and hope that you will show more villages.

[@FMK-mo6ul]

Always look on the bright side.

[@keithratcliffe5576]

Great little video with some good pictures - I like the fallen tree and house. Coincidentally I spent yesterday exploring a lovely little village near me - Culross on the Forth estuary. I got enough pictures to keep me happy processing for several days! Thanks for the vlog.

[@keithratcliffe5576]

I just received my copy of Shap Rural, a lovely wee book - thanks Chris.

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Chris: I watched this video for a second time. I hope that this series continues as there are many small villages and towns in the Lake District that I would enjoy seeing more of from a photographic perspective. Well done! Cheers, Keith

[@davemckenzie426]

Lovely video. I agree completely with your comment that photographers are naturally curious. Every serious photographer I know, both amateur and professional, are innately curious about nearly everything. I think that curiosity not only drives our photography (as you pointed out) but it also drives our creativity on some level.

[@clintwood1983]

Good video, cheers.

[@chriscockroft6545]

Photographer, videographer, educator, tutor and now tour guide. No end to your talents! Enjoyable video Chris, nice to see a different spot in the area.

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

900-700 year old structures - that's amazing. Absolutely love history and the stories that come with it. Great walk about : )

[@judilecompte9377]

Fantastic video, Chris. I loved see the villages… so old, and beautiful!

[@nigelnewton4365]

Excellent work as always, Chris. Fascinating history. I've seen the signs for Dacre but never actually been yet. Must put that right soon!

[@TravelsofRedRover]

Hi Chris - Really liked this video Chris. I hope you will do more. My family hails from the Lake District and I am always interested in the towns and area. Thanks for taking us along, Take care Bye for now

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris this was absolutely wonderful, please do more of this sort of video as it’s completely refreshing from the usual photography vlog. You live in a gorgeous part of the world rich in history. Someday my wife and I will visit, but until then we’ll watch your videos… We received news of an offer on our home above the asking price very early this morning so I’ve been occupied signing papers etc. We should be moving to New Mexico in a month.

[@lookylookie]

I always tune in to your vlogs but this one was a nice surprise. Been longing to have a trip back to the uk and this has made me homesick again. Nicely done, great content

[@andychattaway5620]

Hi Chris, Interesting video and Dacre is a pretty little place for sure. I enjoyed your tour but what a shame the history of those stone sculptures has been forgotten.

[@jeffogden6060]

Enjoyed this one Chris. A nice change of pace from the usual photography vlog. Reminded me a bit of the day spent at Lowther castle when you guided me around that area. The river was heaving that day! Fond memory for me. Cheers Jeff

[@gordonmelrose57]

Lovely video Chris. I’ve often passed the junction to Dacre and had no idea there was a small village there. Thanks.

[@johnjtoth7633]

Excellent video, Chris. Different from your usual work, but in a good way. I found myself pausing the video to study the various signs, buildings, settings. I agree that one better illustrates what you see when they are familiar with the object or story behind the view. I look forward to you producing more of these types of videos.

[@SimonBurnCreative]

Really interesting Chris, good idea to make this type of video!

[@chilecayenne]

Hi Chris!! Great to see you again. I think that first shot, with the red (mailbox?) in the stone wall was hands down the best image. It was just really striking and I like the composition. Have a great day! CC

[@alanpinn2266]

Great video Chris! Nice to see some of the local area. Too bad you don't have any old buildings around. :) Take us on another walk soon! Cheers, Alan

[@76ad]

Great change of pace Chris, very soothing. Always a pleasure.

[@dougiemilnephotography756]

Excellent video Chris. Finding out about the history of an area is always fascinating. Here in West Lothian (where I know you have spent a lot of time in a previous life), the industrial revolution has left its mark across the county, but dig a bit deeper and you get Romans, Picts, Jacobites, Covenanters and royalty. I wrote a walking guide to the area - illustrated with my pictures, natch - and adding in the history really helps add interest to the routes.

[@davidrodgers9641]

loved this one chris, lots of info as well as the photography. i am in the lakes at the beginning of april i will pay that area a visit.

[@juanitakelly3082]

Really enjoyed this style of video combining a historical tour with ideas for photography woven in.

[@timrosenburgh9485]

I really enjoyed the video Chris. It's nice to see a video about the history and image's of a village around your area. I hope to see more of them.

[@luismartins3262]

You and Steve O'Nions could go on a walk to some village somewhere and I bet you both would come back with great videos and some nice images too. I'd watch that.

[@andrewgallup3890]

Finally someone heard me. Also, unless there is a stated prohibition, interior photography would be interesting.

[@GingerPhotographer]

I love UK villages, when visiting we always take a wonder around the graveyards - so fascinating. Nice video Chris.

[@RiccardoPareschi]

Great and interesting video, thanks Chris. Is really important to tell stories about history and culture of the places we visit or live in. I’ve been doing it on my blog (to introduce new places to my friends in Spain) with text and images, but without filming myself. I can’t stand my voice and my face on video. 😀

[@M.Campbell]

What a nice video. Thank you. Love the doors on St. Andrew's church. A series of photos of church doors would be really interesting, if they have as much character as the St. Andrew's set.

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Chris: I really enjoyed this video, seeing more to the Land District and hearing more of the local history. Maybe Karen & I should be putting this location on our Lake District plan. Cheers, Keith

[@elegantinfusions]

Loved this one Chris, I think its the same everywhere, we don't learn enough about our local history.

[@joyriggphotography]

Loved this Chris, very local without being IN the Lakes and as lovely as the Lakes are there are other places just as photogenic. A series on local small, medium, long walks.

[@robertfalcon6648]

Really enjoyed this subject, can you do more on the historic buildings/villages.

[@jasonw6640]

A lot of work to make an 8-minute video. Setup camera..walk past...go back and get the camera. Setup for next shot...oh yeah, and take an awesome picture or two along the way. Great work, beautiful pictures, and video.

[@Chris-NZ]

Hi Chris, fascinating video, especially to me living in a country where nothing building wise is older than about 200 years. Loved the history element you’ve added and the old church a subject along with really old cemeteries that is not often featured on photography channels and yet the churches are often even here such marvels of interior and exterior architecture. Cheers Chris .

[@neklamp2431]

Chris please do more of these videos! Very informative and the photos turned out great! When walking in a Greek Orthodox church you know straight away the patron Saint, because looking straight ahead there is a gate, next to the gate on your right there is an image of Jesus and next to that there is the image of the patron Saint. For us Greeks the patron saint of sailors and fishermen is mainly Saint Nicolas.

[@Bussmicke2305]

The small mirrorless camera is perfect för walking, i have the M5 my self and love it. You sad you are shooting manual mode and only adjust the shutter speed but what apeture do you use and iso? 🤔

[@huwalban]

An excellent addition to your suite of videos Chris. Even though I have no interest in the village (no offence) I really enjoyed being taken on a tour and seeing some excellent photographs along the way. The images from inside the church really stood out for me - really effective. Stay well and safe sir

[@steves8661]

Very nice tour Chris I've set myself a project for 2022 of photographing a local church per month we have loads here in Norfolk going to be interesting what I can find 2 down so far enjoying looking for different styles its making me work harder to get shots

[@jbairdexp]

In the words of Nick Livesey "You can't claim to love a place if you don't know it". (Or something along those lines).

[@Alan-DPhotos]

Loved this one Chris. The change of scenery suits my style of photography in that I have a tendency to photograph almost anything 😅

[@ati6744]

Hey Chris where are you we miss you
