Landscape Photography | DEALING with DISAPPOINTMENT - Part Two

[@4queen7]

Nobody makes a better job of putting humour and cracking images together than you Greg... brilliant and funny

[@GregWhitton]

Cheers Steve, glad you enjoy them :)

[@rambling_rambler]

Absolutely fantastic. Everything for everyone. Keep fit, ticked that box. Art of patience, ticked that box. Calling fell runner's nutters then screaming, singing operatically and shouting boom at the top of a mountain well and truly ticked that box. Excellent

[@GregWhitton]

Well, you know, the physical health of the nation is my number one priority!!!

[@MrPc11111]

Love the enthusiasm when it comes together. "What a feeling" Who would want to be landscape photographer? Its when you plan and wait patiently, then you get that feeling inside something is right, look though the viewfinder and then know its right. We all know times when its been a disaster or failure but continue because we believe the reward is always worth.

[@GregWhitton]

Amen brother, amen!

[@davidball8438]

🤣🤣👌 another great vlog! Quality photography too that last image 😁

[@fubband]

Ha ha, just watched Rocky at the weekend too! Top results in the end, Greg. Fab layering loveliness in that pano and perfect separation/ framing of Snowdon in the final shot 🙌🏻

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks Martin, quite pleased with the results :)

[@tompetersphotography]

[@markmcmullan3351]

That's was fricking funny Greg . More of that please , great film making . Those images too , first class especially that last one .

[@GregWhitton]

Cheers Mark, all in good time bud, all in good time.

[@jamiehancock3140]

Not a lot makes me want to get my photography equipment out these days, but when I watch your videos I start to get the itch again. Absolutely amazing images and the video is fun and extremely entertaining. Thank you Greg. Jamie.

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks for watching and commenting Jamie, really pleased you enjoy watching the videos, and yes, get that photo equipment out and scratch that itch!

[@conmchugh]

Love the Rocky theme and persistence pays off. Well done you!!

[@GregWhitton]

Cheers Con, can't beat a bit of Rocky...should play that theme in the office ;)

[@briw1286]

The camera never lies; it's so clear that the fell runners were the only nutters on the mountain that day ;) Excellent work....

[@GregWhitton]

Absolute bonkers that lot are ;)

[@bsgray69]

🤔 Indeed a metaphor for life. Look forward to your next enlightenment Sensei 👊🏻.

[@GregWhitton]

Oh dear, that has set you up for disappointment ;)

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Hands down the image at 13:00 is so nice well worth the wait. I went up there got some ok snaps got to go back. May head that way in a few weeks time.

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks for watching Paul, yeah, it came out ok that one :)

[@AndrewCooperPhotography]

A great start to the photographic new year, certainly the last shot was a BOOM!

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks Andrew, took a while to get out of the blocks, but I've had a couple of good shoots now, feel like I've got my phojo under control :)

[@rattyboots]

Top stuff Greg. I love the comeback sequence. BOOM!!

[@GregWhitton]

You've got to put the hard work in Neil, you know that ;)

[@GeoffMoorePhotography]

The best 13m & 44s of my Monday YT consumption.

[@GregWhitton]

Lolz :)

[@andypoole1515]

Greg, that has to be your finest intro, an inspired choice, superbly played out (oh to spend an hour in your head 🤣). Perseverance paid dividends, love the images, particularly the final shot with the strong pinnacle rocks. Let’s hope we get some white stuff that will stick around for a while

[@GregWhitton]

Should stick around now for the rest of winter, fingers crossed. After this week there will be a fine base. Ta

[@timallott6188]

Needed a dose of that. Just had a frustrating evening and morning in the peak... just got unlucky with conditions at key times... so great reminder to take the rough with the smooth. And practice tripod press-ups on a more regular basis.

[@jonathanevans331]

Great video, stunning images

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks Jonathan

[@keithtruman7422]

Greg. You are hilarious! We should all have 1 day out with you each year and depression would be eradicated from the UK. Your perseverance worked out. Some great shots in the end.

[@GregWhitton]

Haha, cheers Keith, though I think everyone would end up being a nervous wreck!!!

[@rickbowdentube]

Just what I needed. Top video Greg.

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks for watching Rick, hope all is well with you bud :)

[@andrewherbert9938]

Great Vid Gregg , very entertaining and cracking images , you’re pretty fit for a big lad ! 🤪💪

[@GregWhitton]

I can hold my own... ;)

[@Badger66]

Great Vlog... Motivational in more ways than one!!

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks Ian :)

[@debwalls9405]

LOL!!! brilliant Loved this vlog Greg, nice to see you happy, and some fab images, The mountains are covered in snow today, and more forecast this week, was -12 on top Snowdon last night!!

[@GregWhitton]

Yep, snow, snow, snow! Back again next weekend. Different area though :)

[@debwalls9405]

Ok, just watch out for the nutters in the mist then!!!!

[@johnallibon2792]

Lovely moody misty shots Greg - Well done. - JA

[@GregWhitton]

Thank you John :)

[@timscott8124]

Nice one Greg, you raving nutter!!

[@GregWhitton]

I do try...

[@MrGraeme1961]

LOL absolutely Brilliant. waiting definitely paid off.

[@GregWhitton]

Thanks Graeme. Yep, I nearly packed up about 10 minutes beforehand, but I just had a feeling...

[@jeffogden6060]

Very enjoyable story here Greg. I’m glad to see that your training and patience was rewarded with some cracking photos. Well done. I am curious about one thing. If the winter fell runners are nutters, what does it make the landscape photographer who is sat on the mountain for hours? 😉 Cheers, Jeff

[@RobBatesPhotography]

haa mint vid mate, nice images at the end, paid off

[@GregWhitton]

Cheers Rob

[@eberlindavid]

Excellent and some great images after that waiting, up on Mam Tor (much less effort!!) and 20 mins before we got there it was like that, then fog came down, gave up after 3/4 hr.(don't think it cleared till late pm)

[@GregWhitton]

You win some, you lose some David, just got to keep on trying!

[@warrenswales5693]

Splendiferous photography, fabulousy script & story telling. Hope you are insured ... or how much are stunt doubles these days? 😀 #Oscar

[@GregWhitton]

I WISH I had a stunt double...are you volunteering?

[@AlynWallace]

Thoroughly enjoyed this man, you at your best. Satire, comedy, vision, patience, and some class photographs to boot. That last image is superb 👌

[@GregWhitton]

Hey man, thanks for the comment, which reminds me, must watch your latest!

[@danmar94]

Great stuff! I hope you’re not expecting me to run that quick when we’re out?!

[@GregWhitton]

You've got to run ahead to film B-Roll, it was in the T&Cs!!! ;)

[@danmar94]

Greg Whitton Sure! I’ll just strap the camera to Monty and let him take care of it. That’s what you normally do innit?😝

[@GregWhitton]

Daniel Martin well, Montycam is indeed coming very soon!

[@JamesRBurnsVLOG]

I weed myself again! Entertaining and a good message of the importance of keeping fit, alert and patient. Eye of the tiger man eye of the tiger😬😬👍

[@GregWhitton]

Haha, next one is gonna have to be Highway to the Dangerzone...love a bit of TopGun

[@kevinObrian72]

What a difference a day makes, I can't believe you put that lense on the wrong way round at this stage in the game lol classic! and you where certainly going flat out 100% at the start of Moel Eilio it certainly is a steep incline Greg, and rightly so for the BOOM I've been caught once or twice myself "effing and blinding" behind my camera as other members of the public pass me by always out of the blue Mother nature decides to turn up after hiding behind a rock/wall for hours on end, well worth it, Jeeeeez the light you had over Nantlle Ridge was epic!! thank you for sharing

[@GregWhitton]

Cheers Kevin. Yeah, while I was jumping around like a loon filming the rocky end piece, there was a couple watching from behind the summit shelter, lol

[@MarkMcNeill22]

funny as fuck thank you this made me smile

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Yup! Greg’s back! (Edit, although you never went away) BOOM! Pissing my sides, a breath of welsh air boyo! I can say that I’m half welsh, half Balboa 😂👍

[@GregWhitton]

"Half Balboa", lol, love it!
