  • Well it's that horrible time of year again when everything is drab. The leaves have lost their lustre, everything on the ground is dying and the weather is generally awful for photography. Just to be clear, this is not me saying this. But it is what I hear all the time. This video proves that this notion is incorrect and all we have to do is get our feet out of the door and go and explore. There is always something great to photograph.

    as soon as I hear those words "good morning everybody, welcome to another video" a relaxing sea of warmth washes over me. thank you Simon for just "being" 🙂
    I quite enjoy collecting a carrier bag full of forest floor things and then just emptying them out until I see a pleasing pattern. I couldn't manufacture or design a scene, but the randomness of just shaking a bag out can make for some lovely pseudo natural compositions. Cheating? Maybe, but with my health I sometimes can't stay in a location for long so bringing things home and recreating the forest floor on my conservatory floor helps sate my appetite. As long as I clean it all up before my wife gets home I'm golden!!!
