This project may feel like a gimmick to you, but I absolutely love the video. While I enjoy the videos where you photograph spectacular places, the reality is that most of us do not have access to stunning locales. So it's inspiring to see how you would approach photographing mundane scenes... how you capture the beauty in something usually overlooked. It's far more like the situations I encounter when I go out for quick photo daytrips. Thank you for this!

But, I do think you could skip the whole "camp at the dart" thing, and just camp Somewhere Within A Reasonable Distance of the dart, and it would still be great viewing for us, you'd still be getting the same pictures (More or less), but perhaps you'd get a better nights rest :D.

You're about 3 miles from a very ancient healing well, haegelingas (now called 'Healing'). Pilgrims came for miles. It had an ancient hawthorn tree over the top, folk tied rags, known as the ragged well. Would be great to see how places like that are doing today? With a Grayl filter, you could take the healing waters yourself next time? Also, there's two veteran 4m+ Ash trees within a 3 mile radius, publicly accessible. Check out Megalithic Portal + Ancient Tree Inventory for tiptop location info. Where you slept was not safe Thomas! The layby at 8:20 looked much better. But you're doing heroic work, as a true one-man band. It's pretty incredible, an inspiring vision of discipline for the sake of art. Thanks for your work. Stay safe! Walk well.

Welcome to my home stomping ground. Lincolnshire isn't a destination that many landscape photographers would think of as a photo destination. It makes you work hard to get any 'keeper' images, but the efforts are usually worth it. If I had spotted you in the area I would have offered to show you the sights. Just a couple of millimetres lower and your dart would have put you in the Lincs Wolds AONB which is an underrated area with some really nice scenery.

Maybe you should do a brief roadside landscape photography series just to switch things up a bit. I'd say a large number of people do this more often than hiking miles off the beaten path to find pristine or near pristine isolated areas to photograph. I know many will see this as a horror idea, but sometimes we all need to change things up to just get out of our own head space and see the world through fresh eyes. In a way it might be a challenge since not including the roads themselves will constrain things and challenge your compositional skills.
