In other words, do you think it is possible to take the very best Landscape Photographs you can at a given location, in given conditions, whilst also capturing it all on video and talking to another Camera at the same time ?
I think back to one of my Landscape Photographs taken in North Wales where, as is usual with Landscape Photography, you are reacting to the light and the lay of the land in front of you. It's all very well knowing where the light will fall on the land but seeing how the light falls on the land is an altogether different matrix.
I hadn't been here before, I had no idea, and I was looking for a unique composition - something which hadn't been shot before but from which I could take satisfaction.
This particular composition I had spent around 30-45 minutes tweaking... I wanted everything to be absolutely on point. This involved meticulous alterations in placement, Tripod height, angles, the effect of a CPL on the given composition from one millimetre to the next and then the utmost concentration in terms of focusing, composition, visual flow and so on and so forth.
Had I been chatting away to a Camera behind or adjacent to me I am convinced I'd have never got that image.
So do you think that being a Youtuber is detrimental to being a Landscape Photographer? They're both different mediums and I struggle to see how you can master both at the same time.
