It's always a HI day when we have Henry and Ian (H&I) both uploading videos on the same day. Fantastic content guys. Cheers.

[@ian_worth]

Thank you, I'm glad you look forward to our videos 👍

[@DanOpdal]

I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing and taking me along. Cheers!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated 👍

[@kenhenley7599]

OMG! Tucked up indoors and still felt ruddy cold watching you stomping through the snow and ice. You deserve a medal for that. The last pano of the lake was especially lovely. Cheers.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it!, yes it was rather chilly 🥶

[@melissam731]

Your images are amazing. It's incredible when I see the conditions you are walking through and later the images. Thanks for posting. Very inspirational.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it, much appreciated 👍

[@kencawley3121]

Nice to see a video on the challenge of conditions not cooperating without some epic final shot. Your day was more representative of what we often go through. We don’t get amazing shots every time we go out but we get great memories.

[@ian_worth]

So true 👍

[@MikePageKaltenberg]

Couldn't agree more, when I look around at the photos I've hung in my home, they're all good, but they're also the ones that I fought hardest for and that I have the greatest emotional connection to.

[@ian_worth]

It definitely makes a difference 👍

[@DanaPushie]

Cheers Ian. There is nothing else like watching someone who knows what they're doing. I really enjoy your videos. Great shots. Thank you.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@michaelhurley8958]

Two best pieces of photography gear I invested in which have stood me in good stead. Be in good physical shape to be able to walk 5 or 6 klm. A good set of walking shoes to be able to hike into those interesting places.

[@ian_worth]

So true 👍

[@timrosenburgh8597]

I take my hat off to you Ian for persevering the weather and waiting an hour and a half for the clag to clear and then walking back to the lake and then back to the top again to get the lake shot when the clag had gone. Well done mate. The pano image's were brilliant. Catch you on the next one.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated 👍

[@kevinmurray8129]

Fantastic video, loved it. 😊😊 Once again brilliant photos

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 👍

[@tmeeten3195]

Just stunning scenery and beautiful images. Well worth the hike and you're right it isn't just about the final image - it is about the story behind the capturing of it that counts.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 👍

[@kalvino67]

I loved the adventure of this video (and the pics too!).

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 🙂

[@steveh1273]

Good work and perseverance in the cold and gloom paid off in the end. Nice light in the end.

[@ian_worth]

Thank you 🙏

[@NickHansonPhotography]

Some very good points Ian. Yeah, sometimes my favourite shots end up being the ones which have required more effort to capture, probably because that adventure sticks in my mind more. However like you say, that extra effort also has to come with sensibility in not putting ourselves in possible danger just to get 'the shot'.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Nick, so true 👍

[@noname123-y8j]

Excellent work!!! Stunning compositions! Thanks for sharing your insights, experience and knowledge! Always enjoy your videos.

[@ian_worth]

Many thanks!

[@retirewithjames6745]

Amazing hike. Beautiful images.

[@ian_worth]

Thank you 🙏

[@yellit1975]

Enjoyed the video, showed how we need to have a plan and be prepared to change as needed. As well as your photography gear, I'd find it interesting to know about weatherproof clothing as I'm looking to get some.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@JKDart7779]

Ian thank you for the video, I have been going through a very difficult trial in my life and you sharing the contrast in recognizing that these images find their meaning and beauty in the struggle and difficulty of the journey. Life is no different value and meaning comes out of some of our hardest seasons in life. An appreciation and gratitude is birthed out of difficult journeys. Thank you again for a great video.

[@ian_worth]

Thank you 🙏

[@jezzrichings534]

More great content, Ian. I trust that you'd told someone where you were headed before you set out into the mountains on your own!

[@ian_worth]

Absolutely, much appreciated 👍

[@joeyrobertson4926]

Beautiful images Ian! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@andrisstanga5938]

Now I'm living in the tropics I won't be getting days like that. But it's great fun to see what you managed to do despite the conditions. Hiking is a bit more difficult in the mountains near here. A lot of the land is private, but these volcanic rock mountains are just so amazingly steep! It tends to be a matter of cheating by finding a road crossing a ridge, parking up and then seeing how far you can venture.

[@ian_worth]

Sounds like you have some amazing scenery, I hope you can find some nice spots to explore 👍

[@Robdickson1962]

What a great blog , lots of info ,

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Coloradohiker658]

Stunning images

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 👍

[@oliverzierach7749]

Yes, i enjoyed the video and those shots. What a great scenery with the Lake and the Mountains around. Even if there is not that one shot in the end, the photos shown were all worth the hike. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@trishf29]

Another amazing adventure, Ian, but I do worry about you not wearing some form of snow goggles for your eyes! You only have one pair of eyes. I‘m a former skier and never went without this most essential item. Glad to note you had a change of clothes with you and are basically prepared. Having just played mother😂, I do enjoy your (and Henry‘s) videos and look forward to viewing them and your images each week.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much, I appreciate you looking out for me 🙂

[@clarkbarrow6750]

I know it was a lot of hard work, but you captured some amazing photos. Nice video.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@dirkgibbens377]

Another enjoyable video with great photos, as always. And as I type this comment I'm watching the Views and Likes numbers scrolling upwards. That's always fun. I have an idea for some new merch, Ian. How about t-shirts that say "Absolutely stunning!" with some sort of graphic like an outline of mountain peaks and a camera. I think they would sell. 😉 Cheers!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, thats an interesting thought 👍

[@Nordic_Lite]

Would love to try something like that one day!

[@ian_worth]

Go for it 👍

[@paulseymour7485]

Great video. Looks like there was lots of potential for great shots but Ma Nature had other plans so a great outing it is.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated 👍

[@JimD750]

11 minutes and 11minutes 6 seconds. Magnificent.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks 🙏

[@JimD750]

Ian you are blessed to have the job of photographing God's creations.

[@ian_worth]

I truly am, but it's thanks to people like yourself that watch and comment on my videos that make it possible, so thank you. 🙏

[@hillelbrandes6283]

Do you ever see ravens, up at those higher altitudes? Ha! I saw them later in the video! 🙂

[@ian_worth]

haha, yep 👍

[@zerotonine807]

Love your work. Can you tell us something about the White Balance you use on the Fuji under these conditions? I struggle often with the Whites of the snow and the shadows. Greetings from Germany

[@ian_worth]

usually I have it set to daylight, and correct the raw file if needed in post processing. 👍

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

Llyn y Fan? If so I got caught out in a white-out there years ago. very scary experience!

[@ian_worth]

Yes thats right. I'm going to have to do a revisit to complete my walk, I definitely wouldn't want to get caught out on the peaks during those conditions

[@paulcollingridge8387]

Hi Ian, great video. In this sort of weather do you use a tracking app like Komoot to know where you are in a whiteout & record photo locations? I rely on it to keep me safely on the paths and store photo opportunities on a recce. Maybe that would be a good video... Just you & a phone & Komoot doing a recce :-)

[@tonycox169]

Thanks for another great video. Whilst I love to see the marvellous places that you get to photograph, it does make me feel a little sad that given age and health constraints, I and I am sure many more of your avid followers, would simply not be able to even begin to emulate them. The thought of walking six miles up those hills and in those conditions would be simply out of the question. Not only that, but the fact that some of us are not lucky enough to have such stunning landscape opportunities within easy reach, somewhat limits our expectations. So, could I respectfully suggest that at some point in the future you give some consideration to producing a video that is aimed at addressing these issues, as I am certain that us older and less agile subscribers would learn so much from your extensive knowledge and enthusiasm.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, thats a great idea 👍

[@robertgrenader858]

Being there is half the fun

[@ian_worth]

So true 👍

[@lucianoadami7231]

Non è mai stato un problema alzarmi presto e lo stesso vale per la pioggia la neve e il freddo essendo anche cacciatore . Una volta era inverno e mio cugino è scivolato cadendo in acqua per fortuna eravamo vicini , abbiamo acceso il fuoco mio cugino si è spogliato asciugato i vestiti è andata bene . Quello che volevo dire Ian mai mai fare uscite da soli se si va in certi posti o lasciare detto dove si va . Comunque belle le foto io uso il 16-55 come tutto fare la versione pesante 😬👋👋.

[@lucianoadami7231]

Ps sono un fotoamatore e uso la XH1 . I figli sono in UK da 15 anni sono a Fleet ci sono stato l'estate scorsa in occasione della manifestazione aerea .

[@colingreen2320]

👏🏻💪🏻👍🏻

[@ian_worth]

👍

[@kevinbull6597]

I think you just explained why AI generated pictures will never have "the story" of what it took to make a photo. Also, if you and I made the same photo (not that i will ever be as good as you) our journey and the stories we told would be different.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@daviddunmow]

Hi ian. Well, that's a very interesting walk and shoot. You mentioned what photography equipment you had with you. But no mention of an emergency kit. Obviously, I do not know the geography of your location. But I was concerned about you becoming lost or injured. Maybe I'm over dramatic, but I think that it's a good idea to have some type of heat and shelter in your backpack. Just I case. You never know. You may find someone else who needs your help. Still, I will not continue to moan. Regards, David.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks David, that's a very valid point 👍
