Life Behind Glass

YouTube Channel

Some people go to therapy, which I’m sure is helpful – for some people – but during the ups and downs of my life, I’ve always chosen a different path. Sometimes, that path was downright dangerous, but this path has always worked. This isn’t a car review. It’s not a photography tutorial, either. It’s simply a grey day in the mountains with my Porsche Cayenne, some cameras, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do for your headspace is disappear into nature for a while. If that sounds familiar, you’ll probably understand this video. Shot in Victoria, Australia. *** Put 35 years of car photography knowledge in your pocket with the Car Photography Field Guide, and take car photos good enough to hang on your wall or sell: https://peterfritzphoto.com/cpfg.

The cheapest Macan in the country ... 10 months later.

April 29, 2026 12:01 am

After more than 40 years behind the camera, I know which focal lengths I prefer — especially for landscapes and cars. So when TTArtisan sent me their 11mm f/2.8 fisheye, I was curious… and slightly sceptical. [more below]. *** Put 35 years of car photography knowledge in your pocket with the Car Photography Field Guide, and take car photos good enough to hang on your wall or sell: https://peterfritzphoto.com/cpfg. Mobile-friendly; instant download. Get occasional emails from me | "One More Thing": https://www.peterfritzphoto.com/one-more-thing/ *** An 11mm lens is not something I would normally use for cars — especially not up close. Car designers obsess over proportions, and ultra-wide lenses can easily distort them. But with a lens this wide, the distortion isn’t subtle — it’s intentional. This lens surprised me — not just because of how extreme it is, but because of how much fun it makes familiar subjects again. If you shoot cars, landscapes, or you’re simply curious about ultra-wide photography, this one might make you see things differently.

TTArtisan 11mm 2.8 on the Canon R6 Mk II

April 11, 2026 2:17 pm

Landscape photography has been made to feel far more complicated than it really is. Between tutorials, workshops, books, and endless videos about camera settings, it’s easy to believe that creating meaningful images is mostly about mastering technical details. But at its core, landscape photography is much simpler than that. It’s about recognising what captivated you about a scene in the first place. In this video, I talk about: - Why seeing matters more than settings - The role of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO (without overthinking them) - Questions I ask myself when approaching a scene If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by landscape photography, this might help you simplify things — and enjoy the process again. 4 questions to ask before each photo (FREE PDF): https://peterfritzphoto.com/4-questions/ Get occasional emails from me: "One More Thing" Email Newsletter https://www.peterfritzphoto.com/one-more-thing/ Gear used, owned or mentioned: Hasselblad X2DII 100C: https://geni.us/X2DII Hasselblad XCD 35-100E Lens: https://geni.us/XCD35-100 Peipro L-Bracket for X2D: https://geni.us/peipro-x2d Canon EOS R6 MKII: https://geni.us/Canon-R6-MK-II Canon RF 100-400: https://geni.us/RF100-400 Canon RF 24-105 f4: https://geni.us/elOc Canon RF 50 1.8: https://geni.us/Canon-RF-50mm Canon RF 35 1.4 VCM: https://geni.us/RF35-VCM DJI Osmo Pocket 3: https://geni.us/dji-pocket-3 DJI Osmo Action 4: https://geni.us/DJI-Action-4 Insta360 GO3s: https://geni.us/BwtJ DJI Air 3 Combo: https://geni.us/DJI-Air3-Combo DJI Neo Mini Drone: https://geni.us/DJI-Neo-Drone Peak Design Travel Tripod: https://geni.us/PD-tripod-carbon Freewell Real Travel Tripod: https://geni.us/ysVy iFootage TC9 Carbon Tripod: https://geni.us/iFootageTC9 K&F Concept Nano-X Polarizing Filter: https://geni.us/AA3C4 K&F Concept Camera Backpack: https://amzn.to/4otemaW Lowepro BP 550 AW II Bag: https://geni.us/Low-Pro-BP550AW DJI Mic Mini: https://geni.us/mic-mini DJI Wireless Field Mic: https://geni.us/DJI-Mi Zoom H1 Essential 32-Bit Recorder: https://geni.us/eBqF Zoom F3 32-Bit Recorder: https://geni.us/zoom-f3-recorder Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone: https://geni.us/DM-E1D Rode Procaster Studio Mic: https://geni.us/rode-procast RODE NTG2 Microphone: https://geni.us/Rode-NTG2-Shotgun-Mic The music I use (free trial of Epidemic Sound) https://share.epidemicsound.com/her46e *** Please note that as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

My 10th Mercedes was my LAST.

March 6, 2026 7:29 am

I'm a certified camera bag aficionado, with more than 10 of them across five brands. So when K&F Concept asked me to try out their latest 40-litre bag, I wondered if it might finally hit the sweet spot between size, functionality, and style. Well, this bag certainly impressed.

The camera bag for EVERYTHING.

February 17, 2026 8:00 am

A location scout with low expectations somehow delivered three of my best car photos of the year... so I went back with my Boxster to see if I could do it again. The result? Proof that thoughtful composition, patience, and experimentation make all the difference, and that great car photos are often hiding in the most unpromising places.

How to take beautiful car photos in a boring location.

Photography as Therapy

After a lengthy corporate detour (replete with a heart attack in my 30s), I decided to make the most of this brief life, and to recommit to what I’ve loved all along—photography, cars, and the incredible outdoors.

So this channel of mine is a celebration of all three; and of a lifetime spent behind the glass of camera lenses and automobile windscreens—a life behind glass.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Get my sporadic emails containing ideas &
questions on photography, midlife & creativity.
