    Of all the woodland photography RUclips films I have seen over the past few years, this is probably the only one you need to watch - well planned with a tight structure, making the points economically without extraneous content and with good examples of photographs to reinforce the message. Much better to inspire people to go out and visit woodlands with their camera than many of the over long and aimless wandering I see in some other similar subject content - excellent stuff Nigel.

    I've just started photography about 2 months ago and I've just been learning so much from all your videos, Nigel. I watch one or two every morning with my coffee. Your content I find is very informative and just really relaxing and cozy to watch at the same time. Your contentment and passion for your life really shines through and I think that makes a great basis for teaching. Thanks for your work, mate :D

    @kaiworleyphotography 3 года назад +3

    I find woodland photography really difficult. I think that's because there's rarely an obvious subject to focus on, you have to look for really subtle aspects in the landscape. I often find most things look 'boring' on location, but when isolated, framed and post-processed, you can make simple images look nice. Great video!

  • @MichaelRungPhotography

    Oh I am green with envy. Devon doesn't have any woodlands like that I have found. Plenty of Ivy on the trees & woodland floor with stinging nettles and brambles. Yes I have Wistmans wood but that is so very different. Fog never seems to turn up on a weekend, very inconsiderate. I will continue my search. I love the photo with the Oak, mist at 13.56 is spectacular.

    Nigel's tutorials are like accompanying him on one of his "journeys." The addition of his lovely music choices as well as his very soothing voice, reinforces the peaceful elements he brings to his compositions. After watching, I feel deeply renewed and calm. AND much more knowledgeable about photographing and editing woodlands.

    I just have to say, Nigel, that you've really created a beautiful and informative video here. I really appreciate your effort in making the cinematic cuts and editing on your presentation of a topic dear to me. I like to think of woodland photography as a "photo safari" as I hunt with an eager eye for the right composition. Im only 5 minutes into your presentation and just had to comment and say "thank you" for this. [Long Island, New York]

It's so nice to see other peoples views on the area. I know the video was about woodland, but did you venture out onto the heathland? Heather, silver birch, oaks and Fallow deer. At 26 square miles the Chase has so many opportunities for photos. Thank you for visiting, and showing it off. Brilliant video as usual.

    Possibly the best Woodland video you have ever put up, As Trevor Pollard said in the previous comment so well structured and the images were just stunning, I think that particular Woodland was just magical for compositions of real quality, but most peoples local venues are not so inspiring, thats why we find this type of Photography very difficult, and you make it look easy because you are a professional and it shows, regards, Colin.
