- 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!!!
Yeah. I can relate. Great tone, great vibe, great photos.
That’s a really great idea, but yes, I can imagine the odd bug or three straying into your collection. It could form the basis of a video that.
This is so inspiring. As a beginner not knowing what to shoot you can feel very lost. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos without making photography feel so out of reach. Wonderful stuff.
@@Bigfish19692008 you’re very welcome indeed.
Beautiful images Simon! Good to encourage the sense of just getting out there regardless. When we do there will be something to photograph, and to have an excuse to be out in nature is always welcome.
Simon, if RUclips only let me watch one channel then I would choose yours. Always inspiring and informative. 😊
@@mactheknife74 that’s really very kind of you. Thank you 🙏
Hey Simon, good to catch up with you again on YT. I’ve enjoyed a bit of a break, but jumping back in the water soon.
It was a pleasure watching you do your thing and coming away with some lovely images. I am also impressed with the osmo 3. That pan when you move adds a wonderful touch to your video.
Great Series of photos, Simon!
@@vlaney21 thank you
Lovely shots Simon, time well spent. At least the midges are not Scottish ones lol.
Hello Simon, I think the 3 red berries made that shot very special. And the woodland shots made me stop and take some nice deep breaths of appreciation for you and your talent. Thanks for your efforts.
@@carlarivas1238 it’s a lovely wood this one Carla and quite close to home for me. There’s a never ending supply of photography there.
I really enjoyed your video.
It has such a peaceful and relaxing vibe, beautifully connected to nature :)
You got my subscription!
@@EmmasNatureEscapes Thank you Emma
Great your videos are so smooth and relaxing Nice
@@josephdaigneau430 thank you Joseph
I love those trees at the end. So much character. I agree with @duringthemeanwhilst that your videos just give off those calm feelings.
Those leaves and berries were beautiful too. You could use the for Christmas cards! 😊
Thanks Simon.
@@blivieriphoto thanks Barbara. I get that comment quite a lot. I’m beginning to wonder if I should start a channel reading bedtime stories 😂
@@SimonBoothPhotography Haha, ASMR nature stories. lol
Love the red berries. Can't go wrong with red/green contrast, red being the point of interest
Thanks Dave
I think your destructive winds have hit our corner of the earth in SE Australia! I can‘t get out the door to explore! Will have to wait for a few more days for it to subside. Your video was lovely and calming, just wish the wind was the same. Thank you Simon, for sharing your calmness with us. Loved the leaf and tree images.😊
Thank you, Trish. I hope you get some better weather soon.
Really awesome photos as usual Simon! And thank you for encouraging us/me to get out and take some photos!
Glad you like them! Cheers.
Third image in at the end- path to the left of the trees is my favorite. I keep saying this, but I don't know how you consistently pull a rabbit out of a hat. Cheers!
@@robertnystrom289 I often wonder that two but I just practice what I keep preaching. To slow down a look. Knowing this keeps me heading out of the door.
I appreciated this in particular.
Any particular reason David?
@@SimonBoothPhotography First, the labour you put into discovery itself, then the consideration of the red moment within the intersecting lines and textures, and, finally, the reconsideration of the composition of the beeches. Also, "these horrible midges!"
Simon - I so enjoy your relaxed and instructive videos. Great images! I especially liked the third one.
@@rickgovek2715 Thanks Rick. Pleased you like the pace.
I like the second composition of the trees better. It attracts my eye and draws me through the frame.
I think I do Bill.
Hello Simon
Thanks for taking us with you and your amazing images, to forget the problems of the world for a while.

@@siofna9709 I’m one of those that never watched the news or follow politics. Neither really interests me. I rely on my partner to let me know if there’s anything I need you to know. It keeps me from feeling tense all the time.
Walking through the grasses and laying in the foliage like you do, how do you prepare and prevent tick issues?
Ticks aren’t really a problem in my part of the country. We tend to get them in areas where there is lots of bracken north of where I live.
Great video, Simon . And more great ideas. Thanks. KB
Glad you enjoyed it Ken
Another brilliant video and some good advice . Always said "you can't take lndscapes in your lounge" . Got to get up and go out. Preferred
the 2nd image of the trees and footpath. But all images were excellent. Thanks Simon.
@@alwynwilliams2661 thanks Alwyn. My new ebook takes a deep dive into this.
nice images and thought process looking forward to the workshop to learn more
Not long now
Hey Simon, I sent you a message on FB stating that i am half way through my vid with the same name. OMG. Funny almost! Lovely vid again Simon. Love you doing more landscapes, the very thung that got me following you from about 3500 subscribers! = ) Regards, Ewan
Call it being in sync and in touch with the needs of others.
To be fair, I do enjoy doing the slightly broader scene and the big vistas when they come along. More of a challenge for me.
I like dull overcast conditions when I go out for macro and look for the micro-landscapes at 0.5X to 5X
@@billbromer it’s perfect isn’t it Bill.
Awesome composition technique with great images as a result, do you ever stack your images?
Look back at some of my older films Roger you’ll see that I do stack on many occasions particularly with close-ups.
hi Simon what fjallraven jacket is that I'm eyeing up the sormland
It's the Vida Pro. Very robust and light but certainly not waterproof, even with the Greenland wax. Don't believe a word of it.
Hi Simon if there are midges (flying teeth) around I just can't concentrate. I've even got a Smidge head net but the mesh is so fine it's difficult to see through 😂 I'm looking forward to this Autumn when I'll be visiting a selection different woodland locations. I'll be happy to get images half as good as yours 😊
I know what you mean. The nets are great for folk not wanting to see anything...
@@SimonBoothPhotography ☺
Another inspiring video. But the bugs look bad 😮
@@julianpaxton5750 terrible, really terrible 😣
Thank you for taking the time to make us another inspiring video. Beautiful earthy images..
My pleasure Steve
Another very enjoyable video Simon. Always love your content and great eye for images. Keep’em coming!
Thanks William, will do!
Great inspiring video as always Simon. I’m new to 3d printing but happy to have a go if you haven’t had any offers of help yet.
@@grahambelsten9641 I did find my box Graham but I’d happily pay for a decent job if you can do it?
@@SimonBoothPhotography happy to have a go, I have mailed you 🙂
Excellent video Simon, great images and narration 👍
Many thanks James
Damn midges! Part of the reason I don't venture too far from Edinburgh in the summer - they love me too. Loved every image Simon and I think the three trees work better but that's just a 'everything in odd numbers works' thing. Plenty of inspiration as always. Thanks Simon.
I'm inclined to agree Jill. I'd completely forgotten about the midges in that wood. There a few large waterbodies nearby. I should know better really :)
Hi Simon, I have a similar issue viewing the screen on my UV converted camera. I use this viewfinder, it might suit your needs?
Hi Alan. There was no link?
Excellent video again. A fellow RUclips photographer Guido van de Water recommends a Flextail device for keeping midges away. The device forms a dome around you which keeps them well away. Unfortunately they are quite expensive.
I usually put Skin so Soft on from Avon. It does work to a point but I left it in the van. That wood is really bad for them.
Simon, there is a product called ViewCatcher that might work for your lcd screen to change the ratio view. It's adjustable to any ratio (although 16x9 isn't a marked ratio, it would be easy to mark on it yourself). Thank you for the video and great images!
Thanks for the tip Nick. I’ll have a look at that.
My favorite is the one at 21:26.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate your work and how you are talking through your planning. Good. But, please I feel your very dominant white frame is disturbing. Please make them not so wide. Anyway thanks and take care. Göran in Latvia
Noted thanks.
