Creativity is better alone, with the added bonus of not missing that killer shot, because of outside distractions. Passion really comes across matey. I’d really fancy my 100-400 in that location.

I relate with what you’re saying. I love talking about gear, locations etc with other photographers, at times! But I think being alone with just the camera is part of the process I love best. It’s a very personal moment with nature at its best (hopefully). Keep up the great work and wishing you a happy new year.

I love getting up high and picking out compositions with the telephoto lens. It makes a tough walk worthwhile because you come away with lots of photos from one trip. With a wide angle, you take two or three and you’re done with the location. Put the tele on and get another dozen shots.

Sometimes it's nice find other photographers there, especially if they are OK to chat (and obviously don't just turn up and pitch up in front of you). You're there to capture the same thing and it can be nice to share that with someone.

Absolutely Henry, I leg it when I see other photographers heading towards me. I like to be in the moment, not only recording what I see but also being immersed in it. Shoulder to shoulder is not something I enjoy when I'm out in nature. Human chatter just ruins the moment and distracts from my enjoyment of my passion.

I do think there’s a bit of process involved for many photographers which involves building confidence and experience through going to well known photography locations. This enables us to take shots we’re happy with and helps us learn more about composition and technique. This in turn builds confidence and desire to step away from the well beaten track and find locations, compositions and style which are more unique. And as photographers we all like to capture that perfect and unique shot. Maybe that’s one reason why many of us prefer solitude rather than mixing in with the crowd. Plus of course it’s just nice to enjoy the peace and quiet of beautiful countryside.

That's a very common issue. I have that issue as well, the good thing for you is UK has loads of areas that are not too crowded, unfortunately for me I live in the NorthEast coast of the USA and that has impacted my photography dramatically as every corner you find people and crowds out in trails and beaches are always busy, I wish I wasnt like that too is really unfortunate as no matter how much I love photography this has limited me. Also the fact that people in the USA often times sees you with a camera and they start trying to find a conversation that has impacted me even more, to the point sometimes I see people while doing videos or photography and immediately put everything away. I have already been approached by few pple when doing photography and makes me uncomfortable to talk. I wish I can move someday to a more remote area!

I fully understand that since I really like hiking alone and taking photos of the landscapes I am walking through. And (I just started doing that in last summer) I also realised that there are so many beautiful landscapes and areas only few people know about - for example, there are many people walking along the Kungsleden in Sweden which is in fact an awesome hiking trail. But too many people so I went away from the main trail and went hiking somewhere else. As soon as I left the main trail there were absolutely no people, just me and nature. And I was able to get images of some of the most beautiful areas I have ever been. And there are not that many similar images of these views since there aren't that much people.

I can relate to your "problem" as I like to be alone and I hate crowds. When I am out and about with my camera, I generally talk to people who are interested in what I do when they approach me, but I am hesitant to stand alongside other photographers which is my lack of confidence! Great video and lovely photos Henry.

I totally agree Henry, I see our local photographers taking the same shots from the same places repeatedly. Those places are often crowded with photographers. Why I don’t know but there doesn’t seem to be the initiative to venture out to experiment with new places and subject matter, to be creative and individual. Not me, I shy away from the popular beauty spots for new opportunities, just as awesome. So your definitely not alone, good luck to you!

Henry , You are not alone with your thoughts and approach to locations, we have the same thing in my area of the Peak District with the honeypot locations, and it becomes frustrating to find every man and his dog there. I agree with you sentiment , but at the heart of your video there is a dilemma, that is worth reflecting on. What is said in magazine and social media items, can massively increase the footfall in these areas for a protracted period after they are posted.

I think we photographers prefer solitude when composing and taking our favourite pictures. That isn’t a ‘weakness’, it’s just part of who we are. I think, too, that we like to think that we are getting that unique photo so there is a competitive element to what we do.

Hi Henry. Hope you're well my friend? It's funny you should mention about being a bit of an introvert.. I'm exactly the opposite normally. My wife says I could start a conversation in an empty room! But when I'm out with my camera, I'm the same as you. I find I don't want to be around other people at all! In fact I find being with other people quite irritating! I just love the solitude I get from being out and about in nature and I don't want to spoil that!😂

So, I have the same challenges with other photographers...you're definitely not alone. I think (for me) it's because visual arts are such a right-brained function, that the social and communication skills controlled by the left hemisphere of my brain can't do its thing without turning off the right side. That back-and-forth between the two sides of my brain is EXTREMELY frustrating and I never feel like my photos are quite as good when I have to constantly switch gears and talk to someone. I'm I'm just going through the motions and snapping photos, it's no problem...it's when that true creative element is there.

What an amazing morning and stunning views. Why would you want to share that peace that you get from nature with someone else. I find that when I'm out in the countryside, it's my time to ground myself, to wash away the busyness of work where I'm 'performing' with/for customers all day. The solitude is my antidote to that. Beautiful photos Henry, made all the better by your sheer enthusiasm.

I relate well to what you are saying. One (of many) problems of "Hot Spot" photography can be that you end up comparing your image with the other thousands of images taken from the same spot. This is folly because your image is never going to be the same , you may be there at a different time of day/month/year, the weather and light is going to be different, so may different aspects. The danger then is you either think your image is rubbish or the other image is rubbish. Photography should always be first and foremost the love of taken the image and the only real competition is between yourself and looking to find ways to improve your skills. It's good to take inspiration from others and learn from them and so maybe the odd "Hot Spot" shot for comparison is useful from a learning point, but never, I feel, from a competitive point.

I'm not sure I think, that much, about other what other photographers are doing. The reason is that, I think, virtually every image captured is an original. Even if I take a shot one second apart, of the same scene, with the same settings, it's always a different point in time. In that respect I've captured that image, at that point in time, that will never ever happen again. It's what gives me joy, and motivates me to get out and shoot, it defines mortality. It's what I love about photography!

Honeypots are great if a person is just feeling a bit lazy on the day, but I think for originality, you've got to seek out the quieter spots. Like you I'm quite an introvert, and totally agree with what you said at the start of the vlog. I don't mind a handful of other photographers at a location. 6 is about my limit, generally because everyone does their own thing, it also feels friendlier. When it becomes a larger group, I find myself looking for an escape or rush myself, as it can feel like I'm in the way, even if I'd arrived before anyone else.

I'm still fairly new to photography (only been doing it properly for about a year and a half), so when other photographers end up chatting to me, or even people in general when I'm out with my camera, it can sometimes make me feel a little intimidated, if you get what I mean? Landscape photography allows me to connect with myself and put all other worries of life aside, which is why I love it so much!

And as for getting somewhere and there are a fair few people, I hate it, I don’t mind one or two, any more than that, I will wander off and look for another composition other than what I had in mind. I remember being down on the river Tyne, Newcastle Quayside for Sunrise there was one little spot and 5 photographers with there tripod legs interlocking with each others, i really couldn’t be bothered, put me right off, once Sunrise has happened I’m happy to talk to others all day long but in that moment, on my own or unless I travelled with someone is always preferred.

A number of years ago, when I was still shooting with a pocket camera, I had the opportunity to hike Yosemite with a friend who is a professional camera. I spent the first mile studiously avoiding wherever he was setting up a shot and going to stand somewhere else. "Don't worry," he said, once he noticed. "You *can't* see it the same way. Shoot from wherever you want." Of course, we were shooting completely different gear too. ;) I'm also an introvert. If I'm shooting I want to think about what I'm doing. I don't like to interrupt others. I think giving each other space is important.

Henry - Well said! I love your ability to express thoughts and feelings about photography as an art. Speaking for myself I think most artists are introverted and find their greatest creativity as a solitary experience. For me the hike and location are a contemplative practice and the photograph is the artistic expression. It’s also why I’ve turned down requests to photograph a couple of weddings; too many people involved! A few years ago I found a book called ‘Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice’ - if you ignore the christian aspect, it’s a pretty good read on the mindful aspects of the art we pursue. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Great video Henry. I totally agree with your comments re crowds, i do think that photographers whom do blogs, write books have a lot to answer for ( i know they need to make a living) by inferring that their image viewpoint is the only place to photograph from. My comment also applies to writers who churn out guidebooks of say best walks in the Lakes or wherever resulting in thousands of people doing their best walk etc. The good side of my rant is that it means that hoards of people go to photograph/hike the honeypots and leave the rest of the Lakes relatively unspoilt and free for me. Some great images by the way, thank you for sharing and for the channel

To be honest when I took up a camera again, I followed a lot of landscape "how to" channels, incl yours. And to be honest, after a few months, I stopped most of them (I'm still here, obv). I got the impression landscape photography was a tick list! You've got to go here, you've got to catch this tree there, this hill view, that bit of coastline.... And loads do it. Doesn't interest me at all - I just like to go out when I can, and shoot something nice if I can. Sometimes I make notes about going back to places at different times but anything that says "here are the top 20 places you need to photograph" just says "loads of other togs will be there at the same time". Like you I like solitude when I'm taking pics. Personal preference obviously but there's a big world out there, not just a few select spots. Good point well made.

You should not think twice about what you say about being alone, and I'm glad you say it. As one famous photographer once said: - Photography is a solitude endeavour. He also said: - When you walk around with other photographers, you will surely miss a good motif in conversation. So, don't be afraid to flash your thoughts about this, because as me, I also enjoy the research before I go out to a spot, and when I do, I'm in my "Photography Bubble" and that is a very nice place to be, on my own.

Stopping the video about 3 minutes in to say, oh boy, do I feel you on the topic of wanting to be alone while photographing. I've been known to walk past an amazing viewpoint, just because there is already a crowd (or even a couple) other photographers there already. For me, it's because photography and discovery are tied intrinsically together. And the photograph is what I take to show to other people (and myself) what I've discovered. If there are 20 other people "discovering" it at the same, that diminishes the effect. The pandemic was good, in this regard, because it forced me to find unheralded places close to home to photograph. Anyway, I 100% agree. And now, back to the video!

I'm very much an introvert, so I don't mind be out alone with my camera, but I find that I do enjoy being with other photographers too. I consider myself a 'situational extrovert' because if the situation is right, I really enjoy it, but most of the time I don't want to be around people. Give me a topic, such as photography, that I like and know something about, then I'm happy to be part of the discussion with the people around me.

I can completly relate to that. Fortunately, I mainly photograph forests, and I know many places where I do not see other people. One day there was a fog that stayed all day. And I spent that whole day in the forest without meeting anyone. Truly myserious experience.

Absolutely 100% agree, I love searching out and just walking and finding incredible locations that are not crowded, social media is our worst enemy for creating popular locations which can soon become crowded at times. It is always nice to check out popular locations but nothing beats getting some unique compositions.

You are definitely not alone when it comes to other photographers, or people in general when you're out. I avoid hotspots like the plague, although being in the rather boring south east, it's hard work trying to find quiet locations that are any good, though they are to be had, and primarily being a birdwatcher and photographer, I often stumble over decent locations on my own, though up to recently I've not had the right lens with me to make the most of it. I love a chat, but I do find what happens is I chat and end up being totally distracted from what I'm there to do. I'm far more focused on the photography when I'm chatting to myself and alone.

Hello Henry, I feel the same way as well, I like people just not all the time (I'm a receptionist in a caravan park, this is our busiest time of the year, we're getting swamped.) I enjoy getting out as often as possible by myself with the camera.

Hi Henry - I tried a "photography tour" for the first time in 2022 and I hated it. Everyone bunched together at the same place. The gorgeous Dove Lake in Tasmania in Australia (If you ever come to Australia - go to Tassie!) I loved talking and learning from others about photography, but I truly love just getting out on my own and trying new things. Even my photo club I find it a bit tough us all walking about getting the same photos. I like the process of walking and finding my own thing - even if maybe it's not the "classic" shot. Love your videos - all the best for a fab 2023.

It’s really not a problem here in Ireland. I could count on one hand the amount of times there was somebody else set up near me. A few hotspots like the Cliffs of Moher, Downpatrick Head or Slieve League. Most places you have to yourself.

I feel the same way with photography and hiking, but I am also happy that other people want to get out there and appreciate nature. We need more people who want to enjoy and preserve these spaces.

Same here. I like talking to other photographers but prefer shooting in isolation. But sorry to say there is no such thing as a cloud inversion - it's a temperature inversion!
