Are YOU making excuses? Landscape Photography Is For Everyone

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Nothing ground breaking here but hopefully it might give you a little motivation to get out and see what you can do at your local :)

[@ianbraithwaite9563]

Not sure who was more relaxed Milo or yourself, thanks for showing you can get a composition no matter where you are!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Milo takes the cake I think! Thanks again mate :)

Will I used to follow my daughter while she was learning her own photography journey .. this was in 2013 .. she then completed her taffe studies in photography in 2014 after completing her diploma. I bought her a Canon 5D mk3 soon after, so my photography journey started soon after that and started in my own back yard here in Perth around our local parks etc . I learned so much from this adventure which in fact pushes your imagination and develops your style exactly as you have just demonstrated . From there I took a serious interest into landscape photography , since that I have had the pleasure and privilege of travelling to so amazing parts of this planet , this is still my hobby and a passion of mine . It has taught me to really open my mind and appreciate nature and wildlife more and more .. you see the world from a place most people never get to see . You have reminded me of how my journey started from just simple back yard photography . There is so much to capture within a few minutes from where most people live .. I encourage anyone to do just what you have done , they will not regret it ! Thanks again for these meaningful discussions ! Stay well ! Greetings from Perth !

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Beautiful. It’s all a journey, but we should always remember where it began. Thanks so much ☺️

[@ArulThomasn]

Thank you William for encouragement, we often think grand events need to happen to capture grand photos but its the opposite amazing beauty is hidden in often in front of our eyes completely oblivious to us. Learned this when i took my camera reluctantly to my local park but was mind blown when i started pointing my camera in random directions to find God's work hidden in plain sight. So blessed. Im from Rotorua. Please keep us updated through your channel. Thanks ❤

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you for the thoughtful comment 💚🌿 New video each Monday 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@diekritischestimme]

Hey Will! Your local park is still WAY better than anything I have around here, where I live! I would say a good photographer takes good photos anywhere, but he still takes the better pictures somewhere, with a more beautiful subject. (And I say this as being one of those photographers, who almost never travel and only shoot what's within a few hours reach of my home) But as much as landscape photography might need travelling or living in a national park, to get outstanding results, people can go into macro photography just anywhere in the world and take some amazing "micro landscapes". I did this a lot with mossy roots, mushroom etc.

[@skwerl81]

Ok, fell in love with Milo on this one! What a cutie 🥰 ...And as always, beautiful video!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha, thank you 🙏🏻☺️

[@alanevans9246]

Will, great message here… Just carry your camera, you never know. Something I need to start doing…. Thanks and keep snapping!

[@denisesavage2382]

Love wandering in local spaces - especially the neighbour's gardens, or the local Botanic gardens. Great for when I don't feel like heading out too far bush. There's always something there.

[@timmcneillyphotography]

Nice video mate, good little reminder for when you’re feeling like you can’t achieve the epic location shots. Milo stole the show though….

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha I knew he would. cheers mate!

[@CardieTrick]

Hi William, thank you for doing a walk in your local park. I've learnt to look at normal things in a different way, because we all can't go to fantastic places.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it Wayne, thank you.

[@rhiannon5265]

I think the most unrelatable part of the video was how well behaved Milo was! Gorgeous boy. My husky would have been at the other side of the park by minute 2, and my sammy would have jumped in the lake the second she saw it. 😅 Really inspiring video. Love all your work, but this one has motivated me the most. I've been in a rut lately lamenting the time it takes to travel to get to any half decent scenery. This was the kick up the butt I needed to remind me that's it's my own skills that need work, not cheating with breathtaking visages all the time.

[@yolandawiersma8180]

I had same reaction to Milo! My husky is a great dog but not a good photo partner.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

😅😅 thanks Rhiannon! If I let him off his lead it probably would’ve been a different story!

[@noraallen2610]

Only you would take the time to do this for people!! I appreciate you so very much ❤

[@karendubois9206]

As always loved the video. There is beauty everywhere, you just have to look. Milo was such a good boy. God Bless you for sharing your gift.

[@reneepatino7804]

Aww Milo! ❤

[@jamessouter128]

Well done mate. Great video and a good reminder to not just wait for the epic locations

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks mate :)

[@simongreig5644]

Milo was the feature 🙂

[@TrishAnne4468]

This is what I do all the time. I love that you did a vlog for this. I take my 18-250mm with me. I am so bad for not checking out a location, I just pick up my camera and go. Sometimes those are the nicest photos :)

[@johnchambers6272]

This is great. Just shows what can be achieved even at your local park. Also with a change in lighting or conditions such as fog, the possibilities are endless. Well done and look forward to more of this type of content.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you John. Much appreciated.

[@tambeparag]

Very nice inspiring explanatory video. Loved it all

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you mate!

[@rosssayer6524]

Really enjoyed that William, the reflections with the 100 -400 was awesome and I'll have to give that ICM a go as it looked brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

[@malikdhadhalinux]

The places you are in and the conditions you have is the best!

[@noraallen2610]

I can’t wait to get into my lesson videos great purchase, I’ll be taking my time with it over the entire summer .

[@yolandawiersma8180]

Love it! I do most of my shots within walking distance of my house or cabin… I see it as practicing skills, even if none end up as keepers. My dog would not be as patient as Milo though… if I try to take a photo with him on the leash I get CM, whether I want ICM or not! 😂 I use walks to look, observe, think, imagine images

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

🤣🤣 love it!

[@joanhuggett5164]

This had me over the moon, William (heart still pumping as I type). Absolutely beautiful, heartwarming vlog. I don't think it's over the top to say every image was stunning. At least, they stunned me. Your creative abilities are amazing and I don't mind the leaf shift at all (it was there, it was real). Thank you, thank you, thank you, lovely man (and lovely doggie).

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Too kind Joan, thank you! 😅🙏🏻

[@teeeenyfifi]

Too stuff! Love the tele shot! Next can you do a tutorial on manual focus stack 🤣🤣

[@mikkiscott9995]

Great video! I need to get out and do more local photography. Milo is adorable!

[@caroleneame4974]

I like seeing a scene I can relate to ie, here in NZ. Thank you. I enjoy your videos

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks so much 🙏🏻☺️

[@davidmaltby2065]

Another truely inspiring video. Thanks. And Milo is a beautiful dog

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers Dave!

[@SimmoSayZ]

Appreciate you Will! Just moved from NZ to Perth and in a creative rut with all these new places. Thanks for taking the time to make a vid like this.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks mate. Check out the sand dune video I made recently, along with the salt lake aerials. Those were both close to Perth, especially the dunes.

[@gusstanden8957]

Another great video, keep it up

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks G!

[@marychaseflynn]

This is great Will! I really enjoyed all the different suggestions and it's amazing what you came up with in your own backyard.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you Mary :)

[@paulseymour7485]

Perfect motivator. The weather we are getting here on the North Atlantic Coast at this time of year is not always great. Your video shows the potential of getting out and looking for shots anyway. Thanks for the nudge out the door.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you for the support Paul. Go get ‘em!

[@jenniferkichinko9125]

Milo 🥹

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

😅

[@andycaps1000]

Another great video Will

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you mate

[@lphilpot01]

You talkin' to ME??!!? 😀 Well, yeah... you are whether you know it or not. LOL I get really frustrated living where I do and it's really difficult to find legit subject matter, but I need to keep looking. Nice park, by the way -- Looks "natural", which is unusual compared to our local parks. Milo is a handsome fellow!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha, thanks mate. Hopefully has given you a touch of inspiration to keep searching. Milo says thanks!

[@AnubisArtsTJGrady]

Love this. Thanks for sharing

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks for the support 🙏🏻

[@TarunMathur-e7x]

Another fantastic video Will! Whether is a short clip on local photography like this one, or getting to a more exotic location, there is always some useful and helpful nugget for us to learn from. Thanks for all that you do!

[@johnbentley1056]

Love this video. It clearly demonstrates what you can achieve in your local area. Since the COVID lockdowns this has formed the majority of my photography and I have definitely managed to get some photos that I am really happy with. Thank you for sharing.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you John, glad you enjoyed it and are still managing to get out there and make the most of the situation.

[@JasonLavarias]

Neat challenge! I was wondering about who is filming you while you're talking or are you set up on a tripod? What camera and lens are you using for your video?

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks a lot mate. That’s my videographer @cam_snaps … no way you could get these angles using a tripod and walking a dog at the same time 😅 Cam does a great job and it allows me to focus on the teaching, stills and story. We’re using an A74 and 16-35mm for all the video work. Thank you!

[@nevvanclarke9225]

This is a really tough question. I live in an amazingly beautiful place and yes I do think it matters in terms of not so much the quality of the image, but just for people to be motivated to go out into it. I live in a stunningly beautiful place called Albany Western Australia. If you google it you will see what I mean. It is a little bit of the UK in Australia. It's cooler it's on the south coast but it has stunning mountains beautiful beaches which is not like the UK by the way. It has beaches like you would see in the tropicsBut it's cooler. It has mountain ranges and forest. It has everything a photographer could work but she still have to make the effort to go out there and shoot it.

[@jessejayphotography]

You forgot to piss on the leaves at 6:07. Would have added that little bit of extra sauce to the picture. 😂 I guess a downside of shooting in a public park.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

That’s why I brought Milo along 😉

[@PeterStrazds]

Good one ! I have similar problems to the person who requested this video. Do you have someone with you to video you or do you set up a fixed camera at various points and then edit later? Keep shooting. Peter Strazds

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you Pete. I have a videographer/editor for the channel these days, whom I use the majority of the time. I feel stressed thinking about trying to walk a dog, microphone myself up and then using a tripod to stage shots. Solo, this would have been a 2hr affair in the field, instead of 20 mins. Basically I’m investing in the channel to make the best videos we can. So, the support and comments are appreciated.

[@PeterStrazds]

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Many thanks for the reply. What brand is your backpack? I can't find a rear loading one. Thanks, Peter.

[@cydu]

You can do it anywhere, even inside! All you need is the new AI edit in Photoshop

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Haha, exactly! Don’t even need a camera 😅
