Start a Landscape Photography Project in 2022

[@paulmorgan6860]

Going to give this a go Chris in and around my village (although the first week is a write off because of COVID!). Great way to encouraging shooting locally and getting your fix if travel is discouraged.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

That is so good to hear Paul - there is an online meeting for the people taking part in the project at 19:00 GMT tonight. If you are interested in attending get in touch via my website or send me a DM on Instagram.

[@jbairdexp]

Well done on completing your project and looking forward to seeing the zine. Happy new year!

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year mate!

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

The Shap Rural Project is awesome fantastic collection of images, you can tell a lot of effort was put into that project.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Absolutely John, it has been a big part of my life for the past 12 months and I am very proud of what I have produced.

[@bobtaylor364]

Thanks for presenting this project, has given me some food for thought for 2022. Wish you all the very best for new year.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

It is my pleasure Bob - if you are interested in taking on the project, there is an online meeting for all of the other photographers that are working on '12 Significant Photos' tonight at 19:00 GMT. Get in touch via my website or DM me on IG if you are interested in attending.

[@timrosenburgh9485]

Happy New Year Chris. We would like to thank you for taking the time to organise this project for us and look forward to seeing your Zine.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year to you too Tim - it has been a pleasure having you and Wendy involved in the project. See you tonight.

[@ianspicer1529]

Happy New Year Chris......amazing what a vast array of different light/ambience you got there in just an hour or so! Great video as usual.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year Ian - it is crazy how quickly things can change. I think on those occasions it is so helpful to have some idea of your preferred composition. I wouldn't want to be running around trying to react to what was going on. That would be quite stressful.

[@alanpinn2266]

Happy New Year Chris! Well what an exciting morning, and such a variety of atmosphere for your last shot of the project. It's been a great project and I'm excited to see everyone's final collections. I've still got a couple more months to finish it off - but I'm excited for what I have so far. It's been a great experience and I've thoroughly enjoyed our "gatherings". All the best for a prosperous and exciting 2022!

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Thanks Alan, I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the project. It really was quite an exciting morning. Watching it back I find it funny watching the mist grow ever closer over my shoulder. I was so focused on the photography and the video that I didn't notice until it completely surrounded me.

[@jote1973]

Happy new year Chris! Looking forward to see what images will make it in the 2022 selection.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year Jörg! Hope to see you on tonight's call.

[@jonstallingsphotography]

Happy New Year Chris. Look forward to see how your project turns out

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Thanks John - the project is all finished now. There are some links in the description where you can see the final 12 images.

[@brianbeattyphotography]

Happy new year Chris! Looks like some great conditions for all of the images in the project. Cheers to a fun 2022!

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year Brain - thank you for your kind words - I certainly had some good conditions for some of the photos, but others had to be taken in the pouring rain and howling winds because of the time constraints I placed on myself.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Thanks for sharing Chris, seems like a good idea for a project. All the best for 2022

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Thanks John - I am really pleased with the structure of the project and hope other photographers are inspired to give it a go in 2022.

[@chriscockroft6545]

A really great project Chris, your selection of images are wonderful and work really well as a group, really looking forward to getting the zine. Thank you for putting the project together, it’s been a pleasure to undertake it this year. Would recommend it for anyone who is thinking about doing it, a great way to develop your photography.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Thanks Chris - it has been a pleasure to have you involved in the project, and of course you have the honour of being the first person to feature on the 12 Significant Photos project. Well done on completing the project, I hope you are proud of what you have produced.

[@brucedelorme5026]

Great idea Chris. Have me thinking on this one

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

That is great to hear Bruce. There is an online meeting for the photographers taking part in the project tonight at 19:00 GMT. Get in touch via my website or send me DM on IG if you are interested in attending.

[@jimwlouavl]

Always good to see and hear you, Chris. This project has really showcased your gift to tell the story of the place. Best for 2022!

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Thanks Jim, that is so kind of you to say because that is exactly what I was trying to do. Look forward to seeing you soon.

[@BirdsandMore2376]

Chris, great image and thanks for the inspiration for a 2022 project. Happy New Year! Cheers.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year to you too! Do you think that you might take on a project like this yourself?

[@BirdsandMore2376]

@@ChrisSalePhoto yes, I'm planning to do something similar. I'm going out this afternoon to capture the first image of the San Pedro river photo project. This will also be my first video for 2022 where I talk about starting a project. Would you like for me to tag you with a link?

[@mikeontherock]

Happy new year to you too Chris

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year Michael - I hope you have a wonderful 2022.

[@hoodoo_taco]

First, glad to see you back! Love your idea here. Thinking of taking a picture once a month of the same scene to see the monthly changes.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Hi Bill - that is a great idea. When it is done please share the project with me, I'd love to see it.

[@ianaustin3942]

Great conditions, Chris, and I loved the misty image. I've decided to do a project this year that requires me to get out once a week, every week - it will encourage me to get out with the camera (something I've struggled to do in 2021) and also think outside the box for different ideas. Well, that's the plan anfd I hope I can stick with it. Another terrific vlog.

[@TravelsofRedRover]

Happy New Year Chris - Love the “project” idea. We typically plan a significant event each year. Last year it was with your friend Craig Niesen and his wife Shelley. We have another planned with them for this year. Looking forward to see what you have on the agenda for next year. Take care. Bye for now.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Hi Shawn (or is it Corrine?) Happy New Year to you too. I hope you have a great time with Craig and Shelley, such a lovely couple. Where will you be headed?

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

@@ChrisSalePhoto Somewhere in the Desert Southwest of the United States. I am sure that we have a couple of locations locked down, but neither of us is ready to reveal them yet.

[@paulcookphotography]

Great final image Chris! The commitment that it took to see this through to finality is fantastic, well done! And 12 fantastic images to add to your collection, if not your portfolio. Wishing you a very happy and healthy New Year in 2022!

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year to you too Paul - are you working on any photography projects at the moment?

[@paulcookphotography]

@@ChrisSalePhoto I'm actually working on two projects this year. The first is just capturing an image every month that will be worthy of going on my next calendar. My next video is actually about that! The second project is learning a new technique in Photoshop each month and applying it. I'm pretty skilled with Lightroom, but I would like to learn more about Photoshop that I can apply to my images.

[@owenrichards77]

Happy New Year to you Chris.Thanks for the morning workshop earlier in the year.Hope to be back in the lakes next/this year and hope to have another workshop then. Take care

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Owen! Happy New Year mate. It was so good to see you, I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your trip. Hope to see you again at some point in 2022.

[@TimberGeek]

Happy New Year :)

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year to you too Raphael! I wish you all the best for 2022.

[@Chris-NZ]

Happy New Year Chris and Mrs Sale :) Look forward to seeing where 2022 takes you . Cheers from NZ (Already 2022)

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year to you too Chris (that must be the 3rd time we've done this?) - lets see if we can make it 4! :)

[@sander5086]

Happy new year to you Chris!!! And what a great result, your image for July is my favorite. I don't have anything like this in my local area, it's just flat with houses, highways and only a few bits that you may call "landscape". How big can this "local area" be? Looking forward to more of your videos this year and hopefully, a trip to the lakes in Autumn!!

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Hey buddy! If you are thinking of taking on the project it is totally up to you to define how big the area can be. There is an online meeting tonight at 19:00 GMT for the people taking part in the project. Send me a DM on IG if you are interested in attending.

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

Chris, stunning photographs over the last year for this project. I am struggling to think of 12 local locations that would work for a project like this in my area. After all, we live in the area of the States that is sometimes referred to as the fly-over states and more locally nicknamed the flatlands. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me. Happy New Year.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Happy New Year buddy! This is the challenge of the project mate, you've really got to search to find the locations. Of course I am lucky to have such amazing scenery on my doorstep, but not everyone taking part has that. There is an online meeting for those taking part tonight at 19:00 GMT. I know it is short notice, but if you are interested in attending email me and I will send you the details.

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

@@ChrisSalePhoto I just emailed you.

[@hughwolfe1176]

Excellent content as always Chris… The older I get the more I enjoy the “off the beaten path” locations, the commonplace scenes that everyone sees but few appreciate until the day they’re gone… I’d love to start a “project”, just don’t have the time in the bank right now. Perhaps I’ll do a “6 in 6” project later in the year after life settles down… All the best to you and your better half.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

I fully understand Hugh - good luck with the move to New Mexico. Any idea when you are moving yet?

[@hughwolfe1176]

@@ChrisSalePhoto we wanted to be moved by the end of 2021, however it looks like that’s been postponed, hopefully as soon as possible. It’s amazing how much stuff two people can accumulate, thus lengthening the packing time.

[@jemanosnyders1125]

I don’t have expensive camera gear 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@jimwlouavl]

You don’t need it.

[@ChrisSalePhoto]

Hey Jemano - Jim is absolutely right, you really don't need expensive camera gear to take great photos. I am a professional, so I have invested in the best gear that I can afford, but even then my camera body is 6 years old. Don't get bogged down by specs (megapixel count, sensor size, dynamic range, etc) the most important thing is to find a camera that you enjoy using and get out and take some photos!

[@jemanosnyders1125]

Thanks Chris 🙏🏿🙏🏿 I was planing on starting out with the M50 Mark II . Hope it will do the job.
