A few stand out for me, Alyn Wallace, possibly the best Astro photographer in the UK. Andy Mumford, whose work is spectacular and proves you don't need to work with a full frame sensor to get great professional images, and finally, Simon Baxter, a dedicated woodland photographer, with a deep understanding of the environment he works in.
 
The best ones take you along with them. I think James R Burn is perhaps the best I can think of for that. He's very personable and easy going, with a genuine love for his subject matter.
 
I got into a phase of watching Thomas Heaton, his videos used to be great. However, I've unsubscribed as of last week, as his videos now take a bit of a comedy approach. His styles changed a lot, which I cannot get comfortable with. Another one I used to watch is Henry Turner, a young lad from up north I believe. He takes a different approach, and talks in depth about not just the locations and photo setup. Really Stella guy too.

Yes, and I think his photography has deteriorated quite significantly over the last year or so. I rarely look at his images and think, wow!
 
I still watch most of Thomas Heaton's videos, but I agree there has been something missing in recent times - I think his foreign travels have distracted him from his "art" to a degree, though I still enjoy his channel as entertainment. Henry Turner is definitely entertaining and engaging, I'm not sure I'd rate him that high as a landscape photographer but his style and knowledge of his locations is appealing - I would definitely consider a 121 with him just for that. Simon Baxter definitely gives a lot of value in his videos. I like Ian Worth's channel, and a recent discovery is Darren J Spoonley, whose style and content I find excellent.

But didn't he always do that? At least prior to the pandemic anyway. I don't like to criticise someone who is probably a lovely bloke, but he did seem to turn inwards. Even though he kept going, it just seemed like it was taking its toll on him.
 
I've enjoyed a lot of videos by Nigel Danson and his shots, to me, seem stellar. Henry Turner is very engaging, fun to watch and enthusiastic.
 
I watch less landscape photography than ever now. I guess we are all different in our tastes & likes with styles, genres, entertainment etc.... and I watch just as many film photographers as I do digital at a rough guess.

Alyn Wallace - Astro
Brae Hunziker - Film
Chris Knight - Hiking adventures
Dylan Spitz - Film/digital
Fototripper - You should know....
Grainydays - Film
Haze Outdoors - camping adventures
James Popsys - Digital
John Ludwick - Car building
John Rutter - Astro
Kyle McDougall - Mainly Film
Michael Shainblum - Obvious
Nightride - Cars
Peter McKinnon - Obvious
Scotlands Mountains - Camping adventures
Simon Baxter - Obvious
Teulu Tribe - Boat Life Travel
Thomas Heaton - Obvious
Willem Verbeeck - Film

Phew....... As you can tell, I don't watch much TV :) And that isn't 'everyone' that I subscribe too either, just the main ones.

Quite a few of the popular people I have left behind.... Nigel always seems to be "Top Tips" clickbate stuff & too much studio based chatting. His photography is great though, I do follow his images. Henry is just too hyper & over enthusiastic to watch....

Yes, nice guy, not a fan of his photography though.

To me, there was a very distinct change in his style to ultra minimalist, and I think his photography is worse for it.

Andy's channel is great. Brilliant photos and very informative.

Steve O'nions is my favourite YouTube photographer. Mostly film based but a really good photographer who's enjoyment of his hobby is plain to see in his videos.

Grainydays is brilliantly entertaining - great sense of humour.

I get what you mean.

I used to really enjoy his videos and photography, now not so much, I don't see the point of travelling hundreds of miles just to photograph a leaf that could just as easily be in his back garden....

Each to their own.
