- Why travel miles when you can be just as creative in your local area. This is the time of year when I constantly hear photographer moaning and groaning about summer being the worst possible season for photography, when it is in fact full of wonderful opportunities. Some small adaptations to what you shoot is all that is needed to take great creative images right on your doorstep. In this video I drive 1 mile from home to a little nature reserve and bag not one, but five lovely images.

I like daylight balanced shoots and sorting things out in camera. Embrace the blue light
I get so tired of RUclips photo channels travelling the country/world to take images of places and things known to produce good images. A hundred photographers gathered around an object waiting for the right light and for all the world looking like a bunch of sad, old doggers. So this was both interesting and inspiring. Thanks
Dear Simon, your local photography encouraged me to bring my camera on every day’s walk with the dog for the last year. Printed my first album “walking the dog” a couple of weeks ago. Very pleased with it. Thank you for the inspiration. Jack.
Thank you, Simon, for investing yourself in this kind of small scale, almost hyperlocal art. What you are doing is very close to my own heart, and I am grateful to have discovered you. 🙏
I loved this! Sadly I haven't been around too much for a while now but I found you this morning and enjoyed watching your process like before. I have some natural areas where I live but they don't have the plant varieties you have there...and the pool was lovely! Never take for granted for ability to walk, Simon. I'm a handicapped photographer and I get some decent shots but sadly they are mostly taken from the car or my Rollator. Loved the video.
How wonderful that you still have the urge to make photographs despite the challenges you face. You are an example to those of us who often can’t be bothered. Good for you!
That first shot, the daisies, it's not for me. I find images where nothing is sharp very difficult - I can't stop myself seeing them as focusing failures, even when I know this is not the case. My problem, not yours! I liked the next two shots immediately on seeing them on the back of the camera, and they cleaned up even better. A great start to a day!
you always inspire to simply go for a walk with my camera, thank
Beautiful video and beautiful photo, as always.
A great lesson to be learned here, we don’t need exotic locations to take great pictures.
If I may express my personal opinion, I am not a fan of the “virtual gallery” presentation.
It looks too “digital” in my opinion.
I certainly prefer your usual way to show your images.
Thank you for your excellent and inspiring work!
As always, I have enjoyed being lead through your process and learning from you about the local flora and fauna. Lovely images and a wonderful reminder that you can find images anywhere.
This video is another reminder of how amazing of an artist you are, wonderful set of photos Simon!
Beautiful Simon - I love those abstract blue hour images. Very dreamy and calming. I also liked the soldiers ones. Lovely to have somewhere close to home like that.
Great images again thanks for showing how ! Amazing what you see when you look. Cheers!
You had an incredibly productive morning, Simon! I know from experience, that doesn't happen often!
Wonderful composition demonstrations , of course lovely images. As usual thank for sharing.
Simon, great images, all of them but I especially liked the first one! Very creative and inspirational! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making and bringing us yet another truly inspirational video. Beautiful images as always..
Great photographs, very interesting. Thanks Simon!!
beautiful place , you put some idea's in my mind , Thank you
I loved all those photographs. Very beautyful.
Love these images. Beautiful vision and execution , and to which I aspire.
Greatly inspired me to do some shots around my area. Abstract shots look great. Simon, thank you for sharing.
Another wonderful and inspirirng video, Simon! Your photos were all beautiful in unique ways. It's a good reminder that there is beauty all around us and we do not need to travel far to find it...we just need to open our eyes to see it.
Outstanding images! Thanks for the lily pads because I too struggle to hide the underwater growth.
Thank you. Very inspiring! ❤
Lovely photos. Given me more confidence to keep attempting this style.
As always, a lovely set of abstracts, Simon!
I really liked the blue cast Simon. Great images.
I feel your frustration Simon regarding the audio. Even with the challenges you captured the sounds of a Song Thrush. I love the way you describe your process and the outcomes. Gorgeous.
Amazing images, Simon! It is difficult to choose a favorite...
Your image at 23:12 is stunning. So well seen. Thank you.
Thanks Ted!
Lovely Simon as usual and a lovely set of photos I’m also interested in that 3D gallery u used very nice 👍
another masterclass Simon 🙂
I'm pretty well confined to my garden right now but it's repaying me for collecting some wild seeds, etc last year with a quite lovely wild flower display - herb robert, marsh wilow herb, red and white clover, daisies, milkweed, common mouse-ear - lovely stuff. been experimenting with softer focus too so the daisy image hit the spot!
Remarkable.
Hello Simon
Nice creative ideas, maybe I will remember next time when I´m going out :-).

I really need to get out on the prairie with the camera this week. The prairie wildflowers are starting to bloom.
What a beautiful nature preserve so close to home. I know I have used this word “ethereal” before to describe the feeling I get when viewing your images, but words like sublime, heavenly, exquisite just don’t work for me. What a cool thing you did loading your images into an exhibition space. Interesting. Assuming that it was an AI thing? Anyway that was cool. Have a good week and thank you Simon.
HI Simon....really lovely images. Mate no need to travel outside your area. Must say this is the first time I've seen you shoot at this location?
Nice
Fantastic collection of photo's as usual.
Personally not so keen on the Oxeye Daisy abstract. My eyes are desperately trying to find something to focus on. But that's the way my brain works!. Much prefer the one with the grasses where there is a small part of the scene in focus.
I went from the Pentax K10D to the Pentax K1 Mark II
The 645 z or the 645D was always out of my price range I am very lucky to get the K1 Mark II for the price I got
Great video but I am interested in the 3d gallery you used....
Lovely video, Simon. You're very familiar with your local fauna and flora. Have you ever considered bird or wildlife photography? Thanks.
Would love to know what your day job is. You are so knowledgeable about birds and nature, is your day job related to that?
@@hassanscottodierno9284 I’m an ecologist Hassan 👍
@@SimonBoothPhotography that makes so much sense!
Don't you just love using the Pentax 645Z or the D I forget which one you got
Crisp clean beautiful images
Yes the Pentax 645Z or the Pentax 645D is a medium format 50 megapixel they are the bit on the heavy side but look it's a beauty you get from it
Simon, I'm always amazed at how many times I say to myself "I gotta try that!" when I watch your videos. Don't fret too much about the sound issues...I guess microphones don't really function well at 4:30 a.m.! Lots of Ox-eye Daisey here in western Wisconsin. Unfortunately, it's an aggressive invasive. Wish we could go back to the 19th Century and stop a lot of the cross-continent "plant-swapping" that went on.
What was that 3d photoviewer?
Problem with sound 2 min in.
@@marcvalade94 Hopefully this comment is in jest.
@@ralphwatson7036 you’d like to hope 👍
