The Lake District, UK | A Photographer's View

[@seantuck]

Nice to see you two hanging out. You make a good team.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

3-way collab? ;-)

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Shine a tree into the air and Baxman & Meg will come running.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Lake District was just so beautiful! Definitely, a place I want to explore more! :)

[@paulwayman5137]

Looking forward to the videos Mads

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Woodland!!! YES!! That little chair makes me look very small and why do I keep pouting? :P

[@StephenCree]

I was going to leave a comment mentioning that either you had a very tiny head or Thom's is absolutely massive! I've been on a workshop with you, Simon, so I know your bonce is standard. I can only conclude TH's head is the size of a water melon :) Great video, by the way. We should visit the Lakes more often...

[@brentjones571]

Excellent chat 😀

[@johnsholian4318]

I kept thinking we were going to see Meg pop into the frame. Nice to see you two corroborating on a video.

[@drewhumphrey]

Yeah I was wondering if I’d signed up to go on a workshop with a miniature photographer

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

I was wondering that when I was watching!!! lol I think TH gave you the joke chair so he could try and look more important :D

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

You make a great double act . You should do more . It’s brilliant . Well done guys 👍

[@derekgillan7314]

I think they do workshops, which might be coming again soon. surprise!

[@dinsdalephotography]

Enjoying a cold one with Thomas and Simon! Great way to spend the evening...More of this gents!

[@Alan-DPhotos]

Who needs Ant& Dec? Thomas and Simon all day for me :-)

[@natureechoesmusic]

Excellent again. More photographer's views!

[@ammmullan7129]

Always enjoy seeing Thomas and Simon together. And I like the 'A Photographer's View' series very much., and have put the Lake District on my 'must visit' list.

[@chriseyrewalker]

1:15 in and I've decided that this is probably the best video I've seen so far on this channel... just sayin...

[@gavinperry]

I watch your videos weekly love them. Unfortunately, I will travel 17,000km from Sydney to the Lake District and will miss you by a week at the Rheged show, bugger!

[@susanfirth2279]

Great video. Love the photographers view series and so nice to see Simon on here as well. Well done boys.

[@ck12321212]

The lakes are beautiful ! I have visited many times and can see this beautiful place across Garlieston bay where I live on a clear day over 35 miles away as the crow flies and about 130 driving! Keep up the great videos and a great inspiration!

[@robertblesse5108]

Ha, ha! Two of my most favorite landscape photographers and workshop hosts! Enjoyed seeing the two of you talking about some of the places we visited during the workshop. I really like these "Photographer's Views," they are informal and informing. Brilliant job you two-cheers!

[@anthonyhedger4301]

Honestly, you two together are like Ant and Dec, Morecombe and Wise, Simon and Garfunkel. Well, perhaps not the last one, lol. A great informative video guys injecting your wonderful humour. Nice one. Tony

[@martinlatterich5946]

Great video - loved the collaboration with Simon. Great advise on locations in the Lake District!

[@jegantdragoch.7088]

seeing a guest photographer im just expecting these two lovely, gorgeous gentlemen to say nothing but lovely gorgeous words to describe the landscape in the places that they went XD

[@paulwayman5137]

And i thought that Morecambe & Wise were dead and gone !! Great stuff you two. Magic.

[@denisobrien543]

Hi. Very entertaining video on the Lake District, one of my favourite places. There is a fantastic hostel in Borrowdale.

[@liamsladdin1296]

Been going to Borrowdale for hiking for years, but learnt of some new areas to explore with the camera. Thanks

[@palmereldritch8984]

thanks for that, really appreciate you share your knowledge

[@johnspencer1146]

Great video and really, really good fun to watch with lots of interesting info.

[@tessm3420]

Loved the video makes me want to head to England even more, Was great seeing Simon!

[@timhansson3011]

Thank you for yet another incredibly inspiring vid! I became so excited when Simon Baxter jumped in! :D you guys are phenomenal! great info and tips, will sure to get a membership in the nationaltrust fond as well! Cheers! looking forward for more great colabs with you and Baxter! :)

[@ryanstark2350]

I live near the Lake District. The area directly west of Keswick is good. North West of Cat Bells which is always mobbed with people because Cat Bells is easy to get to. Also near Keswick to the east is Castlerigg stone circle which makes for a great foreground subject but this place is also often mobbed so you have to wait for a space in the crowds. The Lake District can be very dreary weather and end up no good for photos but when the weather is right, it's a photographer's dream. Also near the Lake District is the Solway Firth. Quite a bleak location but often there are spectacular skies and great sunsets.

[@andyackerman9636]

Great video. Thanks for showing me what the lake district is all about. It appears to be a popular place and no one has ever explained it as well as you two - you two remind me to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

[@anthonysalas9167]

You two make a great team. Very hilarious.

[@moondawn1000]

The Ant & Dec of photography !!!

[@alex_theaviation2995]

This place looks so insane. I really need to visit there. Great stuff.

[@PeteBullmore]

Brilliant! Great Duo!!

[@ianforthun226]

I love this series

[@christopheradams7473]

Great to see you two together. Great information as always. Would like to see Sean Tucker as a guest

[@andrew_ep_curtis]

Simon Baxter!!!! Wooooooooooooooo. I've been subbed to him for a long time!

[@ggzii]

My favourite place

[@semihsenturk]

hi Thomas, can you tell me which program did you use for map?

[@toosas]

More! Enjoyed the banter between you two and the enthusiasm talking over each other to tell us about the best bits. A welcome change from the monologue.

[@mavicscotland1571]

I drove from Scotland down to the lake district for your talk today at the Rheged Centre, it was great, loved the fact you worked at Celtic Park. Your an inspiration to all photographers. Wish my KZbin channel would take off like yours, I need to up my game and start to vlog.

[@DavidDixon]

A nice surprise to see Simon pop up there! A good overview.

[@vibraphonics]

Love Borrowdale! If you need a hotel, check out the Royal Oak in Rosthwaite. A homely feel with great traditional food and a dedicated drying room for wet clothes! I've been for years and it's always a great stay.

[@damianrsmith]

Great video. Really useful to hear about locations you both like. I made lots of notes!!!

[@bobcat6653]

Thank you! Thank you!

[@TheDanielCoyle]

Just got back from Borrowdale 2 hours ago..a bit surprised to see this pop up in my notifications!

[@photographycyclist]

travelled 3 times to the lake district, did the skiddaw, scafell pike true honnister pass but my favorite was the hay stacks. Used the Wainwright guide book great and nise souvernire. Stayed at the Pepper family in Keswick. Great hiking depending on the wheather.

[@chaitusunkara]

Pretty good video. Would want more of these

[@DavidJohnstonPhoto]

Nice! Love when photographers introduce and share locations from their point of view. Really good view of The Lake District.

[@paulmorris3613]

I am glad you mentioned mobility isues.Its easy when your a spring chicken,but I am limited in the distance i can walk, so such information is good .Thank you. I do love the lake distirct just need to leave the wife behind. so i can enjoy the walk lol.

[@DomMattChrisMuse]

Back in the lakes at the end of May. Personal favourite view is Fleetwith Pike and Buttermere, but Borrowdale is fantastic, and I’ll definitely try a few of these locations!

[@rvboondocker2559]

Holy crap Thomas!! Fabulous series and your sophisticated video effects and presentation are awesome! I hope you can keep it up, maybe weekly? Thank you

[@MatthewSaville]

Awesome content, and it was so cool to see another familiar face pop in! I'm loving this series so far...

[@Yamanotefy]

I'm planning a trip to UK next year (not entirely for photography) and always wanted to stop by Lake District and enjoy it for some days at least. Your summary helped me a lot with my preperation, Thomas! Cheers and bye for now ;-)

[@thepokemonchannel7797]

I saw simon 😍i got excited!

[@Chrismcpheesound]

Paused it right at the start to say "ooh yeah"

[@photo-daniel]

Very helpful, Thank guys :)

[@davidnassur7202]

Brilliant! My two hero's together again!

[@BrentHall]

That was hilarious...and extremely informational. Thanks for these Tom (and Simon)!

[@RiggersUK]

Couldn’t agree more. I go on a Photography trip staying in the Caravan Park in Keswick - just me and my dog every Feb and October. Don’t care how cold or rainy it is and I’ll take it any day over a crowded beach in Spain :)

[@lukek2872]

Very interesting, and great interaction in between the both of you. Makes it very dynamic. Thanks!!

[@chriswardlecousins]

Absolutely love this video! My favourite place in the lakes is Keswick and this gem has given me some fresh inspiration. Looking forward to the Northern Photography Show 👌

[@jessmoore4409]

I often wonder if we have something akin to the Lake District in the states. (Meaning an area with so much in a compact area). When I find it, I will for sure make a video about it! Thanks for the great info Thomas and Simon.

[@claudiaphillips7063]

Along way for me to travel. I am in Cornwall however I am travelling up there on Friday for a week break.

[@maxrobards1047]

Hey mate, Just a quick question, iv been into photography for a few years now and I'm looking to upgrade my camera and lenses. i will be doing quite a lot of sport and wildlife photography so I'm looking at the canon 7d mark ii, 24-105 f4, 70-200 f4 is, but will be doing a bit of landscape photography as well, will the 1.6 crop factor of the 7d be too much for a 16-35mm for a wide angle lens, so it would just end up being like a 25-55mm, so i was thinking maybe a 10-22mm? or i just upgrade to a 5d mark iii? whats your thoughts? thanks

[@TheNeffen]

Very nice and informative video, thank you both=)

[@GraBell87]

Great video! Thank you for the tip for less able walkers, I'm going to Penrith next week so I'll try to get a look out

[@CMDR_Scorpion]

2 of the best photography content creators on youtube :) its like having our very own A Team! :)

[@Max-cd8ii]

Amazing to see my two favorite youtube photographers team up! Keep it up!

[@butnarasuluca7660]

Great video as always!

[@rogernilsson2254]

Two great photographers in one video! I would like more videos on locations in The Lake District. This one was great.

[@Austrianaut]

Lakeland, home of Adam Karnacz, I would love to see you teaming up with him, maybe next time :) Not to forget Albert Wainwrights c2c and Julian Bradbury :) Welcome to the team!

[@christianb.2360]

Sooooo gooood!

[@OImmortal]

Two great inspirational photographers.. Good to see you both. Im off to Keswick in Augs with the Mrs, and as Thomas would say "Its not a photography trip" however my camera will be coming with me. Great info there gents, thats really helped me plan as to where to take the mrs :), and the camera ;)

[@klausnielsen7111]

Would be so fantastic to go there sometime....

[@gregsnell]

Sunrise for the win. Always. Great vid T-Bax, you guys make a good team for sure.

[@tammymellertphoto]

LMAO you two crack me up! Great video and information if I ever make it to the UK!

[@robcarr1899]

Thanks ,Tom and Jerry.... Starskey and Hutch...... SAINT and Greavesy. Very informative and entertaining. Gonna try and get to photography show. 📸📷📷📸📸📷📸📷📽🎥📸📷📸📷

[@benjaminwilkins1385]

I am enjoying your new series and it was extra enjoyable having Simon join you, however I never see any videos from my home Canada. We seem to be the somewhat under appreciated cousin of the UK that no-one whats to visit, just kidding. Excellent video as usual and I hope you can make to Canada sometime. That goes for Simon as well.

[@jamesjohnston6765]

.........and woodland! Seriously, my dream trip would be a week in the Lake District in the Fall bookended by weekend visits to Old Trafford and Anfield.

[@richardshorephotography]

I drove past that National Trust car park just last week! Next time I'm 't' lakes, I'll bring my National Trust card ;)

[@petergotz5589]

Geography is fascinating! Thanks for putting in the effort to give us the map and aerial views in your discussions. I thought this was very fantastic. Well done Thomas!

[@kieranlehane]

Great video Thomas! Just ordered a print from you :). Have fun in Patagonia

[@94nagendra]

Awesome!

[@Pascallyr]

Thank you so much guys. I follow each of your channels, you’re amazing . I love your vlogs, always waiting for a new video

[@matthewkrah1567]

You two need a series for a joint photography video once a month it would be great! love the video! thanks

[@jazzydebs]

Great vlog Tom & how cool to see Simon , what a double act- you 2 are great. Love these 'Photographer's View' vids, so valuable :) Hope you do a few more. Absolutely adore Keswick & the Borrowdale valley, breathtaking views. Although, ALL of The Lake District is, very special place :)

[@tonyturner7676]

Loved this video and great to see your ‘double act’. Most enjoyable.

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Got myself a Square Filter system for my 70-300 VC Tamron Lens. Cant wait to shoot some landscapes. :p You're a Legend. Wtf, I Subscribed to Simon Baxter yesterday...

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you! ;)

[@kieranlehane]

just subbed to you Simon :D

[@MarkMcNeill22]

brilliant v log love Keswick

[@asimeshpal]

Nice info abt Lake District ,,thanks for sharing . Loved the great sense of humour at the end ..

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Great video, loved the humour! I like these style of videos, I haven't been to the Lake District yet but this video will be a great help when I do. It looks like an amazing place to explore and photograph.

[@mosesve1]

Thanks, just booked a cottage in keswick, a rental car and the flights from germany in the first week of may ;-)

[@melissasun6589]

Please make A Photographer's View for Zion!

[@R17D5D]

I’m really liking these A Photographer’s View videos. My biggest regret about moving back to Canada from the UK last year was that I never got to see the Lake District. I was in Guildford and never had the opportunity to make it up north. One day I’ll return, and thanks to you guys I know where I’ll head to now. At least for the moment I have Banff National Park here in Alberta to satisfy my landscape photography needs - Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, kananaskis country, etc. Thomas, have you ever thought about coming to Canada for landscape photography? I think you would enjoy the scenery. Please keep these videos up. They are terrific. Cheers.

[@frauleindaniela]

Great team! 😃

[@markmcmullan3351]

I liked when you took photos Thomas lol . Nice looking area though .

[@pavlo3511]

do you focus stack every image that you take?

[@ToastandJam52]

Great discussion. Since immigrating, it is the Lake District (and real ale) I miss the most. I was not aware that they are now charging to park at trailheads. A great introduction to the Lake District is the Cumbria Way which goes from Ulverston to Carlisle. The last time I hike that was in the late 1990s. Apart from the first day, it was sunny and hot (25+ degrees). This was July. The only people I saw along the way was the occasional farmer and one to two sheep (well ok, one or two million sheep). It is an easy walk that should take about 6 days. Thanks once again for a great video and for making me feel homesick.

[@Elysianplains]

😮 I love it! Great to see Simon here! Two of the best! 👌🏻

[@chrisplunkett2814]

From memory legal wild camping is limited to no more than three nights in the same place,100 meters from any main road and you must leave no trace that you were there. I'm off to the Lake District starting early July for a week and a half.Not ideal I know,but it's the only time I can go this year. Oddly enough the place I'm most looking forward to seeing and photographing is the valley seen looking North from Dale Head that is immediately to the West of the one you're talking about.Maybe I'll get both done on the same day,if not it's not too far from where I'm staying near to Ambleside.
