Erin has soul and she knows how to connect with it and it shows in her images and her thought processes. Such a thought provoking talk, and yes I too get concerned that places that are now special because of the lack of visitors may change and become places people who like to be in solitude, will avoid and the beauty will be partly gone because the experience will have changed. It must be extremely hard to put your heart into an image when you are standing with 20 other photographers trying to capture the same shot. Totally up my alley Erin, loved it.

Erin - this is your most inspirational & insightful contribution to the philosophy of landscape imagery. You’re setting new standards for how we think about this creative pursuit. Congrats🥂🥂

Very inspiring talk. Thought I've heard it all when it comes to landscape photography, but Erin managed to talk to it from a perspective that was new to me. Some absolutely mind-blowing photos shown as well 👏

Absolutely beautiful images and well presentation. Thank you for the inspiration. I too love to use long lens to capture unknown landscape too. It is very important to bring more of "You" into "Your" photo.

I watch a lot of these B&H Optic events. This is one of the better ones and most certainly inspiring me to get out and shoot! Thanks, Erin and B&H.

Excellent presentation. This is one of the best that B&H has put on.

Absolutely wonderful presentation, thoughtful commentary and beautiful pictures. I will just have to work my 5DMKIII and new R5 a little harder with this new found inspiration.

Please increase the audio volume in future videos. I could hardly hear her in this one.

When she said climate change, that was the end of it for me
