Landscape, To Leica, To Print

[@philipsutton2316]

Paul - as we discussed, some folk may not realise all the work that goes into a reasonably short length video like this. It is actually a lot of work. So I think moreover we really appreciate for all us that you are 'back on the horse', so to speak.

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thanks Phillip. I'm often ask how much time, but it's hard to quantify. But I wouldn't get much change out of 30 hrs. Take care and thanks for your support!

[@steveramsay5941]

Fabulous images…..

[@bobblakley]

I really love that your shadow is more solid and permanent than the truck in the black and white photo. What a great piece of symbolism.

[@philipsutton2316]

Awesome stuff - now we are back up and running!!

[@KeithEmmerichDOTcom]

The dude in the truck didn’t even move in the slightest. Stay safe Paul! I often shoot from roads and it’s always a high risk. Love your videos and the peaceful message they have.

[@lukemerrill1272]

As a fellow (new) M8 user, it's great to see others still using and loving this lovely camera. Beautiful work!

[@fbraakman]

Beautiful idea Paul. Lovely prints. Leica kills!

[@shred_LA]

Paul the prints look fantastic!

[@VinceHalvorson]

Glad you’re back!

[@MeasuredLight]

Another excellent video!! Thanks for sharing Paul. Again, my 6 year old and I really enjoyed it. Beautiful images. Those prints look sensational.

[@eltinjones4542]

Two lovely photographs I've often done shots with my shadows in the photo 😂

[@camerafusion]

❤ lovely images as always!

[@jackmatthews9390]

Well done 👍. I really liked the scene with the water as the foreground. Beautiful one and all.

[@ninniciotta1960]

😊 Very nice video and location my friend Paul!!

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

Beautiful shots I like the portrait of yourself in the shot it has a timeless feel , the artist is included , I like that idea

[@SantieCronje]

Thank you for sharing my work in this video Paul. Those trucks certainly give you a fright 😂. Great video and I look forward to following your journey.

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thank you Santie!

[@giulianoventurini3709]

Grazie per i tuoi video, bellissimi 📸

[@peterlawrence6028]

Another great one Paul, loved the music and the whole feel of the episode, thank you. It's the colour mountain print for me but I love the idea of having an image in your mind and going after it. Just as an aside comment if I may - I might be wrong but I think you mentioned on your first 'return video' something about the challenge and pressure of regularly making 'content' and how it was not always great experience. I can't speak for all your subscribers obviously, but I reckon most of us would be very happy if you only did something once a month or whenever you felt the urge to make something new. It's all about quality not quantity in your case Paul 🙂

[@chrisloomis1489]

Nice to see you out here again Paul , been a year or more since I have seen you. Cheers Paul , keep working. Chris ~ I am into Leica but Film , and TLR film too , some LF ...

[@winstonsmith9740]

Very impressive.

[@jasongold6751]

Really good to see you again! Good images! Happy New Year, All the Best!

[@h.sinclair]

Paul you're a real kindred soul, hugs and more hugs to you

[@fuji_film_digital2122]

Love this!! ❤️

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Another fine episode Paul, cracking selection of shots, personally the mono at 6:34 is my pick. I've shot Pohataroa numerous times, always a draw card no matter the weather, a real landmark.

[@derrenleepoole]

Well, that was just what the doctor ordered to start the day in a fine positive way. The photograph at 7:40 turned out really well.

[@richardramsay1795]

So glad you are back, well and safe Paul, as we all are. Your drone footage is so nice and gentle. Your music choice just has so much meaning with you imagery that you are sharing. Your "Santie Cronje" inspiration is definitely winner mate. Maybe more refining? So happy for you

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Hey mate cool comments, really appreciate it!

[@richardramsay1795]

[@LensForgotten]

So timeless! The eye is taken right to the mountain. Love these videos Paul. Again so glad you’re back!

[@rolf_siggaard]

Thanks Paul. Putting your life on the line for some very nice images. What a great place. The b-roll also exceptional as always. Have fun.

[@iainmc9859]

Lovely shots. Remarkable how the same landscape reflects my next door strath, which I was shooting in yesterday. Volcanic plug in the middle, hills either side. No wonder the area we live in (probably on the back of the Peter Jackson movies) is called The Shire.

[@davidthomasmartin1075]

Can you do a video on scanning negatives please Paul? I’m really learning a lot from your videos my friend. Thank you. Dave.

[@johndoe-xf2ih]

I'm a new subscriber and i'm so happy you are back i watched some of your videos that go 4 years back

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thanks John

[@markusklein6309]

Hi Paul, dangerous shooting!😂 I like that photo and have ordered it from your shop. Greetings from Germany Markus

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Hi Markus, thank you much appreciated!

[@kstrohmeier]

I love the process and the results. Your roadside near death experieces reminded me that Nick Carver will sometimes wear a reflector vest, hard hat and use an orange traffic cone to hopefully generate some added safety and conversely stealth as utility workman are more "normal" than photographers. I also like the shadow selfie although in my case he shows up more often inadvertently than as an artistic choice!

[@lensman5762]

Great photography, Paul. There is a restraint and subtlety about the photos that I really like.

[@shaunmoran6511]

Great images as always Paul , love the title of your photo of Pohataroa , Close Encounter , I’m assuming you mean the close encounter with the truck but the rock does bare a resemblance to the Devils Tower rock featured in Close Encounters of the third kind .

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Your on to it Shaun. Yes there is a double reference.

[@ralphmckenzie8802]

Outstanding as usual Paul. While I'm a sucker for a monotone print the colors in the shot at 5:46 are excellent, it's got that end of a summer day warmth to it.

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thanks Ralph

[@robmcd]

As an Aussie truckie all I can say for sure is get a handheld UHF and make your intentions known. They’re blowing the horn coz they think you’re photographing them and not the volcano

[@TheGazmondo]

A great image at approx 6-29 Nice work Paul !

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thanks mate

[@samatkinsphotography]

Really lovely video and of the course the print you chose for sale...Which I've just ordered and very much looking forward to hanging on my wall here in the UK.

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thanks for your support, glad you enjoyed.

[@chriscard6544]

very interesting video about your approach, with the painting and the result is awesome. That's exactly what im seeking for on youtube. Something that shows the difference between: looking and seeing. Thank you

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Paul, I'm familar with the Mountain you photographed, the road unless i'm mistaken is SH1 most of the other roads are pretty quiet in that area, thanks for sharing

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Thanks Tony. The road I photographed on is actually SH30, I made an error on the video. Unfortunately too late to change it.

[@tonymckeage1028]

@@PaulCSmithPhotographer I spotted that on the second watch! which is what i always do on premieres, my only comment would be is I think the best photo of that subject is still out there, both the images the mountain was quite small! It's not a criticism more of a challenge, thanks for sharing
