- In this video I go in search of some great images close to MY home to once again, and prove that you don't need an airline ticket to to find great images on your doorstep. A bit of a handicap it seemed at the start as I had very little battery power so I was up against it and had to make every click of the shutter count.

Your ability to recognize beautiful compositions amidst apparent chaos is amazing. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you from Tennessee USA.
Thank you very much!
Really like that last image!
Thank you for sharing your fantastic video Simon and beautiful photos the last one turned out really well
Nice job! The last one of the brown leaves would be my keeper. The other two were nice. But you nailed with the leaves. Thanks for teaching me the little things also matter.
Love that you leave the stuff ups in, and make them a reminder that everyone has them
Thanks for sharing, great photos. I especially like the 3rd one. Great tip on using your light from the watch. It made me think, oh I have a light on my iPhone. Cool.
you certainly know how to make a silk purse from a pigs ear Simon, lovely images as always. cheers.
If only I could turn them into cash as well Mick :-)
Great images. Especially enjoy the fallen alder branch. Thanks for taking us along once again.
Nice but I think most people just call them rowan trees. Don’t think anyone actually refers to them as mountain ash unless reading a book. They’re the same but totally unrelated to the common ash.
Sorbus vs fraxinus. I've always referred to them as mountain ash because an old friend and former mentor did. They are commonly found in upland areas.
Hello Simon
Like this kind of photography and the mushrooms are my favorite. One my photowalks I always take one or two shots of that kind, too :-).

Simply Beautiful Images Simon
Wonderful golden leaves!
Inspiring as ever, thank you.
you really are the master of woodland floors. the last image is incredibly beautiful. thank you.
Really enjoy your photography, Excellent.
Thank you Simon; excellent as always. The rowan leaves may look good in monochrome as it is all about the texture. So glad you lose & forget things; it's not just me. Missed the red trousers, I am still looking for them!
The item turned up after I replaced it...typical eh!
The last image is just stunning
I hope you have found your charger. Great shots as always but the last one really was wabi sabi.
I did!
Lovely vid Simon. I was going to ask 'what about the white frames around the images and then Boom! - at the end = ) Love the way you see these and good for you too for carrying on despite the battery situation and even leaving the reality of your light not working. Love the way you see these scenes and three lovelt images, well presented all together at the end too. Brill work as always Mr Booth! Cheers buddy. Ewan
Cheers Ewan. I'm already looking forward t your next masterclass.
Absolutely love your commentary and, of course, your photography.
Cheers Rick
Great images Simon. I especially like the the final one, so simple but great vision.
Stunning Shots
Simon that last image is wonderful. I enjoy watching your process in the field. It still amazes me how you find some of your compositions. The music matched with your soft voice reminds me of the painter Bob Ross. Very relaxing and calming.
Hi Jim
You’re not the first to make that reference 🤔
Judging from the tremendous results, you must have been wearing your Lucky Red Trousers underneath and out of sight. Great stuff Simon. I particularly liked the mushroom shot. I could have burned through 3 batteries on that log and not have found a keeper. Staying tuned for your next film.
Thanks John...you got me :-)))
Brilliant as usual. Thanks Simon you really make me want to get out there and really LOOK! for images. Also enjoy the fresh air. Waiting for the next film already.
Thank you
Great images, once again. And regarding the battery charger: Lukas 11,10: "...the one who seeks finds..."
Found it!!!!!
Losing things seems to happen a bit lately, I know I have a cleaning kit for the camera, but it doesn’t want to be found. Bought another so what’s the betting it turns up now.
Love how you compose those great subjects, glad the battery lasted.
They always turn up when you replace them...mine just did!
autumn is such a magical time of the year 🙂 I love all the tiny mushrooms on top of that fallen branch too 🙂
It certainly is Dave
Great images Simon, and as always, a very informative and entertaining film..
Beautiful set of images Simon. You did well working with a limit on the battery life.
Hey Simon, I loved how the rules you set for yourself in the beginning must adapt to the situation. I find it’s always experimenting with what you’ve got and going with the flow works best.
As always, I enjoy the sharing of you knowledge about the plants and wildlife around you.
Great triptych and lovely video.
Glad you enjoyed it Shaun. 100% be prepared to adapt to the day. It saves being disappointed.
Great video , Simon. I must head out to my local hiking trails today. And focus more on the ground. Thanks. KB
Have fun!
I loved the mushroom shot. I take a lot of mushroom shots myself but I have never used artificial lighting. I'll have to get a portable light and give it a try.
I get excited when you start shooting dead fallen leaves....the browner the better...because I know what's coming! BTW, I carry a LumeCube Panel Mini in my bag which has a soft diffuser. It has a lumen output adjustment which I find it perfect for lighting all the little things on the ground.
I'm another happy user of a LumeCube set at 5600K for fill light on macro shots including mushroom stalks/gills. It often makes a world of difference, not only for correcting dim areas but also for adding dimensionality on days with dull light.
Thank you Al. I will have a look at that.
Im beginning to think it's an age thing when it comes to 'losing' and forgetting things! Superb video as per. Beautifully captured images that I never in a month of Sundays would find. Thank you for your knowledge, inspiration and determination. Take care Simon
Thanks again Jill
Your videos have been so inspiring and helpful. I believe as temperatures are finally dropping in my area, I will get out to take some serious attempts at nature photography. Thanks so much for your content.
Glad you find the videos useful. Thank you.
More than worth their weight in gold those leaves.
As ever Simon great work!
Love the video and the images but I am a little bit confused on previous video I suggested there was nothing with removing a dead leaf from a composition which you took exception to but you talked about removing items from two of these images seems like contradiction to me to remove items or not
Hi Leslie
I'm ever so sorry if my response to your comment on the film "My Golden Photography Rule" came across crass. It wasn't the intention at all. Again, sorry about that. I'll try and explain. I did say at the end in the reply that I do move bits of things so long as they are not part of what attracted me to it in the first place. In the instance of the other film, the removal of that big leaf would have modified the composition to its detriment in my view. The items I was suggesting to move on this film were not in anyway detrimental, but easily resolved distractions. I hope that helps and restores your faith in some of the cryptic blurb I often spout out when the camera is rolling. Nothing is scripted here. Thanks again.
Lovely stuff.
Hi Simon thanks for the comment I not sure that was quite what was said on the golden rule video having rewatched it but I don’t want you to think I am trying to score points or something like that but you need to remember that amateur photographers like my self hang on every word of professional s like yourself for advice etc so I will not comment on this particular item again ps there’s nothing wrong with red trousers lol
Hi Leslie,
Feel free to email me for further clarification if you still think I made a mistake. I may have misunderstood what you meant?
Another great video Simon, I thought the images got better as the video progressed - particularly enjoyed the last image …. One that only you would find!! The mushroom image was great composition too but I think slightly too bright or a vignette may have helped. I do hope you found the battery charger!
It's often the way that they get better as we get our eye in. I did find the charger, but only last weekend. It was down the side of the seat in the van!
Nice work Simon keep them coming. Rodders 👍. Just a thought Simon have you been to Blickling hall woods Norfolk. Beech trees galore i think one of your favourites.
I don't think I have been, but the name rings a bell. Thank you.
been like a mid-summer's day here (Swansea) yesterday and today. 23 degrees and sunny. normally we'd be seeing hundreds of mushrooms by now, but there are very few out and about yet 😞
I seem to have missed most of the fungal glut this year?
Question? What is your definition of "close to home"? Just curious.
A place that I can get to and back home in a day
