Landscape Photography | Thirlmere | Lake District

Join me as I discover the beauty of this less well-known 'lake' in the Lake District. High views and waterside compositions make for a spectacular mix, but will the rain prevent me getting those sought after results?

It's refreshing to see a photographer on KZbin that doesn't have the latest and greatest gear! That E-M1 can be got second hand for 500 quid. Fantastic! It really goes to show that the most important part is not the camera but the brain behind it:)

[@markharris5771]

I really like how you always know your subject so well, something I should learn from. I also really like how you build the information about how the photos are taken and how to overcome different challenges.

[@Argyll9846]

Always enjoyable.

[@mikeallen4081]

Thanks Craig. Also, I love the humor you have in your video....dry and funny, yet educational.

[@andyaveyard]

That was an enjoyable watch. I prefer your laid-back approach with a little humour thrown into the mix. Well done.

[@e6Vlogs]

Cheers Andy.

[@DiiZeh_]

Day 3 was definitely the best weather condition! Good shots :)

[@RaptorCapture]

Excellent! You have a nice style and I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Keep up the good work.

[@colinmel66]

Excellent video. Good to hear the thought processes involved. Photographed that barn a few years back. Super location.

[@LeeBdrone]

Another fine video Craig

[@JasonEdwardsPhotography]

So glad I found you site. Getting through your vids . May I say I loved it wen you walked pass the camera like it was always there and then you walked backwards again later. I literally laugh out loud. . I went to thirlmere last week and around but haven't been up hills yet. Really good to learn from you.

[@rolfrdr]

Hi Craig, Great Video and Great Photo ideas!!

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

[@cillyede]

Great video again, thanks! Take care - Hubert

[@westenbergerstephan5955]

I just came to know your blog. Nice video, you have a great feeling and sense of the scenery what a picture can look like! To sad that the weather got bad and no sun coming through - but this is landscape photograpy. :-)

[@ThePoacher1969]

hard conditions to shoot in Craig cracking vid again and you managed great pics

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Thank you! e6 Vlogs...,

[@garyforsyth]

Another cracking video and hats off for lying down on the grass in tick city up on Smaithwaite. You're a braver man than me!

[@e6Vlogs]

Ticks! I didn't know about the ticks. Now ya tell me!

[@cliffordreid3961]

gary forsy

[@dondawber9107]

Lovely stuff, lots of cracking viewpoints slightly higher around Thirlmere. The fell in the background at 14.20 is Blencathra :-)

[@sgurr_a]

Nice video. Unexpected Neistat like scene at 13:33.

[@seangholland3055]

Shame about the weather, but greats shots Craig.

[@allandavies1187]

Hi Craig, always, always enjoy your videos. I wonder can answer a question. I know why you increased the iso to freeze some of the movement but your aperture was never constant. You had f:8, f:9 and f:10 etc I wonder would you be kind enough to explain and why you did not, say, stay with f:11 or otherwise. Many thanks and regards, Allan Davies ...

[@leewphotography8316]

Great video as always, Is that a DIY job with the brolly on the camera/tripod? Im been looking for a way to attached a brolly and just wondering how you did it?

[@StakyAll]

e6 Vlogs Love your videos. Informative, great photographs and you have a good dry humour but one thing that confuses me is why do you use a hard grad... where do you place it? Does it not affect the exposure of the fell / trees etc...

[@nagualdesign]

Subscribed. :-)

[@Kraken17]

Entertaining as usual Craig, some lovely shots to boot. A question if I may, why use mostly 9 shot stitches for your pano's? I notice this as well in your urban shots.

[@e6Vlogs]

Thanks Frank. With the panos, I'm aiming for a 3:1 ratio result. 9-10 vertical frames seems to be the ideal for this, with room to crop off each end as needs be.

[@evildiesel1709]

I have a question about cleaning the lens out in the weather. How do you do it? I mean take rain drops off your lens. From the dawn of time I'm listening to people say never even touch your lens, use a blower etc. Just curious because my regular 50mm is manky now!

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

Nicely done as ever. Do you have any views on the Olympus 15mm and 9mm cap lenses?

[@e6Vlogs]

No, never used them. Seem good value for money for fun creative shots though.

[@Adisa1992]

Hi, what is it that you did with the umbrella and the camera?

[@godofhope]

Where did you get such detailed maps?

[@mandrakedas]

All great as usual. Well apart from the music around 16:00 but you know how bad that is from last time you used something similar 😀

[@glenndeguzman]

Questions on using the hard grad: The horizons in your photos are uneven with lots of mountains and trees. Where do you place the grad line? Do you place your grad line low to cover all the mountain and trees? If so, if some parts get too dark, do you just lighten those areas in post-production? Gorgeous photos! Subscribed! :)

[@e6Vlogs]

Yes, you do have to be careful not to bring the grad down too far, but of course aim for a horizon placement. It's surprising how much you can get away with, even when using a hard grad. I would lighten any areas in post if required, but I don't find I need to most times. If it shows up too much, then of course I switch to a medium or soft grad when on location.

[@glenndeguzman]

Thank you very much for the tips! I really like your channel as it is very informative and inspiring! :)

[@CurvedSlightly]

This is the kind of vids thomarse Heston aught to watching.

[@ozymet]

2:47 random camera :D

[@WelshPhotographer]

what tripod head is that?

[@e6Vlogs]

Arca Swiss Monoball Z1

[@WelshPhotographer]

Blinking heck that was a fast reply!! Great vids! :)

[@e6Vlogs]

shwoosh...thanks...shwoosh

[@wahabdilawar]

When you were walking backwards...you should have done a moonwalk.

[@e6Vlogs]

I never did walk backwards!

[@robinhorton3251]

Great fun to watch, keep going, your vids are getting better but ditch the Casey style music.

[@e6Vlogs]

Who's Casey...?

[@GingerPhotographer]

I see no resemblance to Casey's videos with regards to music.?

[@sixstringer2627]

I'd have to agree, great video do what you want but I get so sick of that style of music in everyone's vlogs.

[@wahabdilawar]

Instead of complaining about lack of light...you should have used a flash.

[@e6Vlogs]

Yeh, but I left my soft boxes and Elinchrom 500's in the car.

[@TheVonLuxembourgFamily]

like your video but stay away from that Casey Neistat music. your channel will grow even bigger if youre original. just a constructive feedback.

[@e6Vlogs]

Sorry, not sure who Casey is? The music is by a different artist.

[@evildiesel1709]

Casey Neistat is a youtuber who is an acquired taste...putting it lightly. I can't stand him personally but a lot of people do it seems.
