How to keep improving as a photographer

Always a pleasure to see one of your videos pop up! Will watch on the tv tonight once the kids have gone to bed 👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful photography and thoughtful insights. Looking forward to Pt2.

Thoroughly enjoyable Ewan...great Vlog and excellent photo's...looking forward to the next instalment.

Thanks Ewan, really enjoyed that, look forward to part two. Ian from Geraldine

When I traveled I discovered we're all brothers and sisters with the same desires and the same pains. Very unifying experience. The best way for me to get out of my comfort zone is to ask myself why do I take photographs. The most uncomfortable journey we can take is the inner journey but it's the one journey that leads to light. When my Aunt first got to live on Lake Geneva she was gob smacked by it's beauty but after 6 mths of working there, she was bored with it. The world is not enough. It never has been, because its finite, but the desire in the human heart is infinite.

Great to see you having fun and creating images in a different environment. I will be heading to London (from WA) next month, and will take heaps of inspiration from your approach to Vienna. Thanks as always Ewan, really enjoyed it.

So good to see you back.

Just neat images Ewan and some wise words in terms of gear..

Gorgeous work as always, it's fascinating to hear your thoughts on different topics from normal and now I'm going to investigate whether pigeons play. Thank you

Very inspiring video.

Hey Bro, nice to hear from you gain, it's really interesting to watch you videos and then reflect on what have been going through my mind b4..for example here i'm watching YT and thinking, wish I could be in London now doing some street photography, only to cast those thooughts aside and to watch your video instead..only to be transported to Vienna and all it's beautiful architecture , and its wonderful pigeons doing laps of honor around the city square...any way, the video was enjoyable and looking forward to part 2 later on for the conclusion..it actually have in a lot of food for thought relating to how some people get the GAS syndrome, and b4 they get acquainted with they equpment they want a next piece....well i'm not so lucky to be in that position so still on my fujifilm Xt3, and that ws bought 2nd hand..oh well lets have the second part and hopefully i'll enjoy that part just as much..take care bro......Photobug in Barbados

Ah,,, you know I want to go Midge Ure and say Vienna 🤣 But it's Ah, don't get a new R5! you probably had a good chuckle the other day! Interesting to watch the people go about their day and I recognizing the looking for angles/shapes/light, maybe there is some hope I'm not just a gas junkie.

Hey Ewan, it’s wonderful to watch and digest another one of your ‘Master Class’ episodes 👍🏻 The discussion about GAS is so very true. I recently saw Vlog of a photographer telling us that DSLR’s with their MIRROR causes blurred images and the weight of the new Mirrorless cameras as so much lighter😂…… I’d love to know how heavy the mirror is😅 I use a Canon 5DsR, purchased in 2016…… this will probably be my last camera, it is fine tool that i cherish. Yes, many people scoff at it but I LOVE it. The limitations and workin with them is part of my skill set. I’m off to NZ on the 5th August to photograph in the Otago & Fiordland regions. 7 days with just me & my camera, to LOOK…SEE… then capture some images👍🏻📷👍🏻❄️

I used the same film camera for almost 20 years from the late 70's, and not because I didn't have the money to buy a different one (unless you count buying a house instead of a Hasselblad at the time, yes it's scary those things were equivalent once). I have just purchased a panoramic field camera that takes 120 film, it cost just over £3000, and the large format lenses are of course even more. I already have a few but I need at least one more soonish for wider views (115mm) that'll cost around £5 - 600. That won't be purchased until I'm sure buying it will be worthwhile. On the whole I avoid buying new gear to 'improve' my images, because it doesn't work. I bought this to explore a new format.

I showed this to my wife......
