You sir...are a trend setter. I bought a new Olympus O-MD EM10 II camera following your footsteps and I am loving it. Please keep shooting and keep posting these vlogs. You have no idea what (positive, of course) effect they have on us hobbyists/enthusiasts.

[@garypentecost833]

Defo a thumbs up ,Craig in my opinion you are one of the best teachers of photography on KZbin,you might not like the fact that I see you as a teacher but when I’m out with my camera and stuck for a shot I think what would Craig do 🤔 ,inspirational

[@e6Vlogs]

Those voices in your head can be scary sometimes!

[@markharris5771]

Another brilliant video, with some great images. I really like how you use compositions that most people, including myself, would miss because they are under our noses. Even though they are not panoramas of Mam Torr, they are definitely the Peak District, which jointly with North Yorkshire Moors is my favourite National Park. There are many landscape photographers I’ve learnt a lot off on KZbin, Adam Gibbs, Simon Booth and Paul G Johnson to name a few. But there’s no one who has taught me to think out of the box quite like you have, I thank you for that.

[@e6Vlogs]

Three magazines? I'm honoured Nicky. :-)

[@Diatonic5th]

Excellent video! The last shot is a winner.

[@AnandaSim]

Fan Blooming Awesome, Craig! I had come back from a family session out in our City, taking photos of buildings where public access is not common except once a year and was nodding off on this video but I realised there was so much in your narrative and approach, I re-started viewing it three times. You're doing more for the art of thinking out a composition on what could be just "meh" scenes or assiduously repeated popular scenes, I'm resolved to go to my favourite haunts and think out compositionss over and over again. Many thanks

[@e6Vlogs]

I hope the only quote people take from this comment is not ' i was nodding off on this video' !!

[@AnandaSim]

And the other thing that keeps me coming back is the sense of humour and entertainment. Keep it up Craig.

[@MLC48]

Thanks for explaining your thought process and showing the camera as you change the settings.

[@bryanspark]

Another great video Craig. I love how you actually explain your shots and what it is you’re looking to photograph. The light hearted humour is a bonus too.

[@TheEd027]

That last shot was absolutely gorgeous!

[@GlenDomulevicz]

I do like the Photo Challenges. They help me to think creatively about my photography.

[@SidBonkers51]

Fascinating to see you working out your compositions and I always get ideas after watching your videos too, great work..

[@sarundayo]

My favorite photographer always delivers!

[@kenhenley7599]

Your videos and photos just blow me away.

[@markjarrett9400]

Great shots under challenging conditions. You appear to be missing an important bit of kit for the conditions - a sun hat

[@e6Vlogs]

I don't do hats!

[@avs4365]

Agreed! After going through two painful ops to remove cancerous moles on nose & forehead am never out without head cover,

[@video-carl]

Good to track down you using the 35-100mm f/2.8 - I was beginning to think it was a lens you had but didn't turn to. 40-100mm is one gap in my lenses which I'm starting to see I'm missing.

[@jeffreerevell6128]

Great thinking behind the shots and using alternative shots never fails

[@craig_m_mi]

More good stuff in this one. A good look at how others frame things, and a good lesson and challenge to use big different focal lengths in the wild...

[@justmeinit]

Great video. Your videos are helping to make me a better photographer. Thanks I always look forward to watching your videos.

[@charliemorrison1370]

Really inspiring stuff thank you. Your videos have me torn between getting a full set of square filters or stretching to that 8-18 lens. The compositions you get with it really appeal to me.

[@paulus0109]

Talking through your ‘workmethode is very learnful to me. Thnx Greg.

[@GeoffMacdonald]

Great video! Thank you. You got some great photographs, particularly in the difficult conditions. It is really helpful to hear your thought on composition. The first few minutes really brought back memories - I used to go rock climbing there - erm - 30+ years ago!

[@bryan3846]

Your last shot was absolutely stunning!

[@RS.Outdoors]

Great stuff. The blue sky might be a pain but it lets me explore and log potential locations for later in the year when the weather suits the location. Just back from Lewis & harris and have to say when the weather is this good it is a magical palce to visit.

[@obroadieswimmer]

Aces as always Craig. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@guyroberts4181]

Very enjoyable video Craig. I would like to see the final images for longer though. Guy.

[@e6Vlogs]

Just watch it again. Helps us both! ;-)

[@41stclair]

@@e6Vlogs pause!!

[@bobmeiners448]

Like the way you frame them up. Excellent !

[@buyaport]

Like the video and esp. the last picture. Otherwise a true "rockstar"!

[@mikeholgate445]

Yes - really appreciate what you have done here. Many thanks.

[@Kraken17]

Eh up Craig, I thought before watching your video (but listening to how you were going to do the challenge) that I would create my own challenge and choose a 1, 2, & 3 of the shots you have taken. After watching this video and with coffee in hand, I got by an edge the very first shot you took as no 1. I couldn’t for the life of me get 2 & 3, so I watched it a over again, I’m glad I did because I knew I wouldn’t get the second or third shots because although that first shot just had the edge, they were all in fact bloody good enough to be No1. Take care🖖

[@MrFreakwent]

Thank you so much; listening to your thought process helps!

[@altern8ive]

nice one craig, great to see windgather featured, golden hour or moody winter b&w work equally well there

[@dougvarvil6435]

I like the challenges. Keep them coming.

[@s2n4k3]

Hello Craig. I like your thoughts about the mind that takes the photo. It's now my #(dont count it; ) video from your site.. and I just want to thank you. Honestly appreciated. Came to your Site from Thomoas Heaton and now following you as well. Really good work!

[@jimduffin5336]

Thanks Craig...great idea and something I would love to bring back to our club...great vlog.

[@ALCATRAZOFFICIAL]

Hi Craig, I have to say that one of the best ways for me to relax is watching your vids. These just have something about them! And also I've got an idea for your channel - shoot something that you personally do not like, supersaturated sunsets as an example. I think this would be very interesting :)

[@e6Vlogs]

You may be able to twist my arm to shoot a sunset, but i don't know about a super saturated one!

[@tilerman]

Craig, love your videos. You really do have an eye. And you also have a very good ear. Your music choices are just superb. The track at 9.03 took me back to a tree festival I was at in 1993. Dont know how it did that but it did! Cheers Craig.

[@e6Vlogs]

Perhaps you explain it to all those who hate my music choices!!

[@tilerman]

Hi Craig, thanks for your reply. I genuinely love your music choices. Right up my street. Through your photography tutorials you have also introduced me to Soundcloud. Amazing site. Thanks mate. keep up the good work.

[@jamesclark1152]

Another excellent video Craig, thanks again for sharing your knowledge and skills.

[@philhoyle1106]

Another class video...inspirational

[@tomdullage1531]

Another great video, Craig, I don't know any other photographer who can show us how to get superb photographs in such unpromising circumstances! I've been meaning to subscribe to e6 for a while and this video finally prompted me to stop procrastinating and do it, thanks!

[@e6Vlogs]

Thanks Tom. Now if i can just get the other 22,999 KZbin subscribers to join, I'll be onto a winner!

[@MrCochise71]

Love these challenges.. 👌

[@cyrildescoursiere9060]

Brilliant. Nice work. Thank you, that's inspiring.

[@jmlr2011]

Hi Craig, enjoyed the vlog and some nice shots as always. I agree with Mark though you should be covering the noggin in those conditions.

[@my2004rt]

Brilliant!!

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Nice one Craig that last shot was awesome. You'll be begging for that beautiful weather come mid November mate. Enjoy.

[@Hirsutechin]

Thoughtful and thought-provoking. I noticed the ribbed rock low on the ground in your video footage for location 2 before you tried it as foreground interest with the 25mm shot. Either great minds think alike or...! I'll second the sunhat remark!

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Great video, love your channel! Craig.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

LOVE your work. Great video. Inspiring. Thank you.

[@Derginator]

It’s okay Craig, we all know ya hurt your hand in fight club. Great video as always!

[@adriancoleman1120]

loved the video but I'd really appreciate having more info about your camera settings, eg metering used, focus point, how much PP was there etc

[@e6Vlogs]

Adrian, this video was more about compositions, so I didn't discuss that, but it's easy to answer your question; matrix, one-third in, hardly any.

[@kenny75photography2]

Great video, Craig and some great examples of different focal lengths and the wide angle grass shot was my favourite. Hope your hand is better and what you said funnily enough reminded of that line from This is Spinal Tap where a former band member died in a bizzare gardening accident lol. Anyway, great vid. :)

[@grat2010]

Great video.

[@ninniciotta1960]

Beautiful video, beautiful place, and even if your hand is suffering, you're always the best. Thanks for your videos. :)))

[@101jumpit]

Cracking vid Craig,thoroughly enjoyed it :)

[@nigelskates6202]

Hi Craig, starting to get worried as youve not posted anything for two months, hope you and or family are ok,.

[@paulashcroft556]

Another great video Craig, love the way you take us through your thoughts, so helpful. Well put together video, must take you some time to frame it all up unless you have an uncredited assistant!

[@e6Vlogs]

I sacked my assistant on day one and decided to it all myself instead. Do my own hair and make-up too!

[@oneeyedphotographer]

30° does sound a little feeble. There's a video on Canon Australia's KZbin channel, Girt by Sea. Highly recommended. Features some fellow called Tony Hewitt.

[@jeetts59]

Nice vid, I always learn a great deal from your methods. Stay cool

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

Punch-up at a wedding. Going to have to remember that one.

[@JWhyte123]

Hope your just on holiday Craig! Its been too long since your last video.

[@searam1]

Absolutely love the 100mm with the rock wall and road! Are you using your EM1, 16mp? Thanks for another great video!

[@stephenreed7769]

More of the same please Craig 👍 Top video! Btw, will be in Matlock for a few days in September, what's your top Peak District landscape venue recommendation if my better half allows me a few photography hours? Thanks again

[@andrewohone]

11.30 ......HE'S BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!

[@Rick--A-F]

Any more videos in the pipeline?

[@steveoprey7969]

Craig you've been very quiet lately, hope you're ok?

[@patyeaman]

Could you tell me why you sometimes shoot handheld and sometimes use the tripod. I must admit I am uncomfortable with the tripod and am looking for a reason that I can avoid it.

[@e6Vlogs]

Pat, don't make excuses not to use a tripod, as it's your most important tool for great compositions. I only do without if the angle is a bit awkward and I can shoot without it, or if i just want to shoot on-the-fly occasionally.

[@momcatx2]

Looks just like California.

[@ericerickson6537]

You have a tripod with you why not use it on every shot? Slow everything down.

[@e6Vlogs]

Don't you like breaking the rules every now and again Eric?!

[@eltinjones4542]

Your a brave man to shoot into the sun during the day. I feel the evening would have had a greater impact on your shots ? However this was your challenge!

[@e6Vlogs]

I never make things easy for myself Eltin, otherwise, where's the challenge!

[@biffyeager611]

It is 30 degrees outside and you are wearing dark clothes. Tough guy!
