An Update on my YouTube Channel and why I’m not very good at YouTube!

An Update on my YouTube Channel and why I’m not very good at YouTube!

It’s been quite a while since I last posted to YouTube and I wanted to update everyone and start anew in 2026. So, in this video I give a quick update as to the channel, look at how bad I am at YouTube (and why) and look at plans for the channel going forward. I also take a Quick Look at my new vlogging camera and share some personal photography news!

I had actually gotten out of the habit of talking to camera and so it took em a while to get back into it. In fact, I decided to just take and record as a practice, but it ended up working well, so I went with it, after a bit of editing.

The thing is, I actually really like making videos, but I kind of got out of the habit of doing it, and I had fallen back to the “screencast” tutorial type of video, which unfortunately, YouTube really doesn’t like. So, I made a new year’s resolution to try and shoot more proper videos. Of course thats not exactly off to a good start as I had planned to do this at the start of January, but it’s nearly February! Anyway, I really am going to try and put in the effort this time, but don’t worry, I’m still going to do the tutorial type videos too.

I’m also very close to 10,000 subscribers on YouTube, so if you haven’t subscribed already, please do and help me get over the small but significant milestone! And also, please leave a comment and let me know what else you would like to see.
