Why I'm Not Taking Any Photos Today and Where My Channel is Headed

Find out why I'm not capturing any images in this video. Along the way, I'm talking about my channel and what photography is in store for the year ahead.
I also want to know what you'd like to see more of on my channel - whether that's landscape photography, bird photography, macro, street, post-processing or anything else. Let me know in the comments, cheers.

Hi Robert, thank for the great tutorial and the benefits of both flash and natural lighting. Can't wait to try a few of your examples.

[@Robert-Bishop]

Thanks for checking out the videos Maggie - much appreciated. 😊

Keep doing what you do, Robert. You've got a good following, so you must be doing something right. Looking forward to seeing how you get a video done on the Norway cruise. The Lake District in the Autumn sounds like a great plan too.

[@Robert-Bishop]

Cheers Andrew. Really looking forward to Norway. Fingers crossed for good weather! Thanks for watching. 😊

Indeed, you just do what you like. Do enjoy all your macro and street scenes...love seeing these things documented. But my ultimate best is OTIS!!! But you would probably have guessed that! LOL Wow, a camper van...that is very cool! Trips are also cool to watch! I'll enjoy all that you have to offer!

[@Robert-Bishop]

Must appreciated Bruce. Otis will definitely be a fixture where possible! Probably not for street videos. I do like street though, so there will be some coming soon. Thanks for watching. 😊

Hi Robert. As a hobbies photographer I find your channel very interesting and informative, so for me keep doing what your doing. I appreciate it must be hard for you to keep coming up with something new each week. After watching your macro photography videos I have decided to do more woodland closeup/macro photography. The campervan project also sounds very interesting, but for now keep up the good work 👍

[@Robert-Bishop]

To be honest Clive, coming up with the ideas is fairly easy - finding time to film and working around the weather is the hard part. Appreciate your support and the feedback. 😊

Hi Rob, I think the secret is to keep your videos as varied as possible both with subjects and locations. Cheers

[@Robert-Bishop]

Cheers Phil. I'll try and keep things as varied as poss. Off to Norway soon! 😊

[@tititatiti]

Thanx for the new video! What I love the most out of your channel is that you dive into many different genres. I wouldn't be interested in gear reviews. Much prefer on location and post processing tutorials. Just like the others said though, first do what pleases yourself!

[@Robert-Bishop]

Many thanks for the feedback. It seems like the consensus is to stick to the current mix. Good to know - and thanks for the support. 😊

Hi Robert, for me just keep doing what you do always very informative and I like the surprise of what you come with. Otis looked as if he really enjoyed is self out in the woods. 🐕👌

[@Robert-Bishop]

Thanks John, the feedback is really useful. Should be a bit of landscape/woodland next week. Hopefully some wildlife soon too. Cheers for watching. 😊

What a beautiful dog!

[@Robert-Bishop]

He's a little charmer, isn't he?! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@AndrewHamiltonPhotography]

My preference is the field based videos , getting to see locations and images from a variety of places. The van will definitely help with that for sure - we’ve just bought an Adria Van conversion and had a few trips out and taken plenty photographs (no videos tho as I’ve just been enjoying shooting) . Norway and The Lakes will be awesome Robert and look forward to those. Keep up the good work and most of all enjoy what you are doing 😊

[@Robert-Bishop]

Thanks Andrew. That's great, I bet you've been to some fantastic places in the van. Really looking forward to getting ours finished. Cheers for watching. 😊

[@alanbudge]

To be honest, I would continue to watch your videos whatever the subject. My own preference is landscape photography where the creator tells the story of the local area as well as photographing it but I like the variety of your channel even though a particular subject might not interest me. You do it very well so I suppose for me it's keep doing what you do.

[@Robert-Bishop]

Thanks Alan. I know a few other channels that do a bit of info about the area. It's something I'll have a think about and maybe try to include some. Many thanks for the feedback and support. 😊

Watched this one last weekend mate but didn't comment then because (tbh) I was totally burnt out with comments on YT - the perils of a couple of a couple of well-viewed vids! And besides, I guess I'm not really a good reference point for a lot of your viewership. But, for what it's worth, I always take something away from your photoshop videos. You often have a workflow that's different to mine (probably because of your profession) and therefor really useful for me to watch. Generally I'll learn something new from watching you do it 'your way' and have a few of your vids saved in my private 'photoshop' watchlists to refer back to. But with that said, if you don't love the process, then it doesn't matter about what viewers want, burn out will kill it anyhow, so away from my demanding 😜 you gotta just do you, cos you're the only one that can 👍

[@Robert-Bishop]

Cheers Dave - appreciate the feedback. And likewise - I usually find useful new stuff in the way you process and edit. Yeah, those videos are going great for you - well done. You should do a 10-part series on that! 😀

[@GrahamMarsden]

More macro please.

[@Robert-Bishop]

Thanks for the feedback Graham. 😊
