This is why i love your channel, Kim. Youre one of the few YouTubers left that explore the art of photography. The only way to really find joy in photography is to have the beginners mindset. Wonderful testimony.

I absolutely love those handheld long exposures. Abstract photographs can be so expressive, yet no one really talks about them.

That lake with the ducks in the snow is one of the most beautiful scenes i have ever seen

Great video Kim! Your message certainly resonated with me, I’m going to try becoming a beginner again! I think photography would become even more enjoyable using this technique.

Hi Kim, So many lovely points came across in your video and they really got me thinking in a positive way. I have always loved landscape photography, for many decades, but I was so critical of my own work and comparing it the works of other photographers, I became so disenchanted with my own abilities. I'm 70 now and retired just over a year ago with pre-type 2 diabetes and awful mental health issues. The saving grace was getting out into the country, walking, breathing fresh air and, with my camera with me, starting to take the photographs that gave me the greatest satisfaction. None would win a prize, but I feel more at peace with myself and more in touch with what I see; it is a beautiful and comforting feeling. It can be too easy to forget just how beautiful our world is. Thank you Kim for your lovely and peaceful video.

What a refreshing episode Kim. Fantastic photos!

[laurelb]

What beautiful and calming images you captured. Lovely video

I had felt like I was getting nowhere with my photographic journey awhile back (spending too much time worrying about what others were doing or what was popular) and went back to just taking the camera and making photos exclusively for me. I also decided to go back to keeping a sketchbook again after a long dry spell of about 20 years and for me, this too is a beginner project. But both have their own challenges and rewards. Always nice to see some work from you, Kim.

One thing I notice is that many YT vloggers, especially landscape photographers, take a shot and then pack the gear. Well, a beginner wouldn't tuck his camera away. You might spot something worthy of giving it a try at any step/moment. But maybe it's my habit, I love documentary photography, but I often go out for a walk in my neighbourhood to hone my general skills and to add a fresh shot every day. Currently we've got ice fishers, snow-covered ground, water bodies slowly giving in to a thaw, winter clothing in the street and what not. A plenty of subjects and scenes. All of this deserves giving it a try,

Your delivery was very relaxed. Your ICM image looking out into the field is quite inspirational.

[robertdavis]

Great video Kim...back to basics of a beginner is what makes photography interesting for those of us who are a hobbyist....I think so many so called 'professional' photographers miss the human aspect of love the results of your images... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊

[charlenenagel]

Love this Kim! Such a good approach to most of life! Thanks for the reminder!

Wonderful video Kim, it is true you do become almost a slave to conventions. I recall being out with my daughter a few years back photographing a cascade in Weardale. I was looking up stream and setting the camera up on the tripod about to take a nice but predictable shot. Turning round my daughter was pointing her camera downstream into the sun with no tripod. No prizes for guessing her shot was much better than mine! Anyway I am off up to my daughters this weekend in Aberdeenshire so will be channeling my beginners mindset👌👌👍👍
