Accessible Photography

Accessible Photography

The aim of this channel is to encourage amateur photographers that are not hillwalkers, mountaineers or wild camping enthusiasts, to get out and take pictures from more accessible locations. We are not all capable of climbing hills or trekking for miles. We are not all even able to walk a few hundred meters. This channel is now dedicated to getting good images from accessible locations. Come with me as I explore my country and others and seek out good locations that just about anybody could access.
This is not an "Accessibility for the Disabled" Channel. Accessible means "ease of access". This channel was set up in response to the many channels with Photographers hiking for miles over rough ground or climbing mountains to get an epic shot. I simply want Photographers with less fitness or mild mobility issues to see that they can get out and take interesting pictures and enjoy their hobby.

    Good to see you and Duke back out, and feeling well enough for this walk 😁 quite inspiring message as usual to just go out when you can and take the photos. Thanks for sharing the photos.

    Glad you're out and about, and thank you for the reminder to just get out there, even if it's just a walk. I get quite blue in the summer, and getting out does quite help. Thank you.

    Glad to be of help, 🙂 Unless you have allergies, getting out in the summer can be very rewarding. Best thing living where I do is it doesn't get too hot very often.

    Great to see you feeling up to out and about Alastair. I sufferer of long Covid I know how difficult it can be to get with the camera. I know good I feel when I can get out even if I cannot walk very far or be out for too long. Just being out with my camera feels like a victory for me. All the best Neil.

    That’s sad to hear. I will keep you in mind when doing more vlogs. I know not everyone can get out even when I say “Get out take pictures and have fun” which is why I said in this one “if you are up to getting out” or words to that effect. A few of my subscribers are in the same situation as you and I feel for you all. God bless.

    Nice one. My grandfather's funeral was held at Cleish Parish Church. I've always meant to go back and get a picture for my mum. Cleish is just over the border in Perth and Kinross. And you are out vlogging more often than l am so don't beat yourself up about it.

    The Z fc has the same pixel density as the D500 & D850. It comes down to the glass you are using. The FTZ adaptor allows you to use all the F Mount glass. If you want fast Z lenses Viltrox and Laowa make some excellent lenses at reasonable prices.

  • @AccessiblePhotography
    @AccessiblePhotography13 күн бұрын

    Got the adaptor now. The big old glass can go on if I want it. It’s the weight issue for me still but I am slowly getting better and can handle the weight for a short while. Laowa is on my list for new lenses. Really good and not expensive.

    What a beautiful place, that blossom is stunning. Just a quick observation.. when you were setting up your tripos for the 1st shit in the water the b-roll camera was behind you andf then it flipped to a side view as you were putting the leg dowmn.. I checked to see if there was a camera to your left on the 1st shot but nope...the filming was seamless, well done. Very enjoyable watch, you present very well. Nice images and a bonus at the end with those cracking Heron pics. atb Alan

    Hi. That’s a “Three Legged Thing” tripod. Model is “Brian”. (Evolution3). It’s a travel tripod to be fair. Fully extended including the centre column and it goes way above my head. I bought it second hand a few years ago. I am not sure if that one is still made but the company does have others available.
