    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!!!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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 😊

    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.
