I honestly can’t quite believe it… 10,000 subscribers!
When I started my YouTube channel in 2020, I never imagined it would grow to this point. I was so naive back then that I once published a video when I made it to 100 subscribers, giving advice to others on how to do the same! A year or two later, hitting 1,000 subscribers was a huge milestone, and now here we are—ten times that! It’s both humbling and exciting, and I just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to every single one of you who has supported the channel.
Creating content around outdoor photography is still a huge labour of love. There are still the early mornings, the dashes out after work to catch that perfect golden hour, and the weekends spent hiking with a camera in one hand and a tripod in the other. Not to mention the hours editing photos, stitching together video clips, and trying to make the audio just right. But despite all that, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Photography gets me outside, helps me slow down and appreciate the world around me — and making videos has added a whole new dimension to that. What makes it even better is knowing that people are watching, engaging, and maybe even getting inspired to pick up their own camera.
Well, first off, to celebrate reaching 10,000 subscribers, I’ll be running an exciting giveaway very soon — so keep an eye out for more details on that in the near future!
On the travel front, I’ve got a couple of trips lined up that I’m really looking forward to. This summer I’ll be heading to Germany and France, and I’m hoping to capture some stunning landscapes and maybe a few hidden gems along the way. Then looking a bit further ahead, I’m thrilled to say that I’ll be travelling to Peru next year to hike to Machu Picchu — and of course, I’ll be taking my camera with me. That’s going to be a real adventure, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Before I sign off, I want to say a special thank you to Andrea, who’s been such a huge help behind the scenes — whether it’s filming, throwing in creative ideas, or just keeping me sane when I say the wrong thing 200 times in a row!
And of course, thanks to Otis, the real star of the channel, for his top-quality Otis-cam footage and just generally being the best companion out on the trail.
If you’ve been with me since the early days — or even if you just subscribed yesterday — thank you. Your support means more than you know. The likes, the comments, the messages… they all help keep me motivated and inspired to keep pushing myself creatively.
And if you’re not already subscribed, I’d love for you to check out the channel and join the journey. Just head over to Robert Bishop Photography on YouTube!
Here’s to the next adventure—and the next 10,000.
Thanks again,
Robert
