In this second episode I maybe missed an opportunity by arriving at the location a bit too late. But it was a lovely morning to be out and soak up the beautiful countryside. Every trip out is worthwhile, even if your camera doesn't even come out of the bag.

All my photographs are shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom CC/Photoshop CC.
This is good enough for television. Even people not interested in photography would find this watchable.
Very much appreciated :) If it helps to inspire people to even just go for a walk then I'd be thrilled!
I agree... immaculately executed and produced vlogs
I'm not sure how many times I've watched this video. It may sound silly but when I find myself stressed out, I can watch your videos and listen to the music and it helps distract me and takes me away from my problems, if only for a short time. Thanks Simon.....and Meg. :-)
That's very kind of you and means a lot, Cheryl. Many thanks as always :)
Awesome. Thanks for taking us with and I'm glad the drone wasn't dead after its swim.
Thank you! Hehe, yeah it turned out to just be a water damaged battery and cracked prop.
As Cheryl said below I've found myself watching through your wonderful films once again for a calming influence and for some inspiration
Really enjoyed watching this. The frost and fog makes for gorgeous photos and the countryside is beautiful. Looking forward to more.
Thank you, George. Much appreciated :)
My Goodness. What a breathtaking first image. Absolutely immense!!
Lovely video Simon, with great drone footage. And the dog seemed to enjoy herself.
Thank you, Steven :) Yes, Meg has a great time and it's great having her company.
Brilliant!.... great to see the honesty about what you do... not every excursion will result in an epic photo. Everyday is a school day my friend. I'm looking forward to the next instalment 👍🏼
Big thanks as always my good friend ;)
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your 2 videos (and the photos too). What can be better than being close to nature and photographing it. Look forward to your future videos. Cheers.
Thank you! I completely agree, it's the being there that's important :)
This video was definatly not all over the place.. I really like the down to earth, yet highly artistic way you manage to put this together. Great videos you have posted so far, and i will definatly keep an eye out for future things you upload. thanks for sharing your early morning experiences with us.
Hi Shady. It felt disorganised when filming but admittedly it came together a bit better than expected :). Many thanks for your kind words and for watching.
What an amazing view across the mist from the top, definitely worth the hike. I know how much goes into making videos like these, so I appreciate every B-roll, close up and panning shot that give us context around each image and that helps convey the story of your journey. Thanks mate for bringing us along on this adventure.
Thank you again, Andrew! Yeah there's quite a lot to think about when you're also trying to seek out compositions and soak up the surroundings but perhaps it becomes easier with practice :)
Another spot on video! And no apologies needed. Somedays are busts, as far as photography are concerned, but, as you said, it's still great to be out! But, still, this was no bust! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you, Tony. Really appreciate the comments :)
Finally, a photographer channel I can stay glued to. Need to up my game! Well done Simon, great work.
Many thanks, Darron. Much appreciated!
Great video Simon, keep up the good work showing the world how gorgeous North Yorkshire is!
The drone footage at the end is beautifully shot, nice work.
Thanks very much, Kaeru! I'm passionate about shooting locally so I can't wait to share more :)
Such a relaxed video. I can see all the hard work you go into to make these videos, the walks, the video tutorials, the footage going to different locations and the drone footage as well. That's a lot to take home and edit it all in such a lovely organised way. Well done, not a lot of people have this kind of passion and patience. Just to make this video, where you have made such a chilled out piece with all the beauty captured in every way you could and your thoughts on photographs and settings and everything... And of course Meg, God she's a happy wee dote. Just wanted you to know, your hard work is appreciated immensely.
Excellent again Simon. Love that you take the dog with you!!
Thanks again, Jonathan! I love having Meg with me. Sometimes she misbehaves but she's also great fun :)
fantastic drone footage and still images, thanks for posting
My pleasure and thanks very much for watching!
Nice one. The eye of the photographer.
Thank you, Joao :)
Simply, gorgeous!
GREAT video. The drone shots of you and your dog along the ridge... classic. Reminds me of some backpacking trips with a wonderful dog I had as a kid. Mornings?... She couldn't contain her bounding energy. Nice memories come back seeing the two of you.
Thanks very much, Rashoop! Dogs bring so much joy and energy to a walk don't they? Love her to bits :)
Love the shot of you and your dog. He looks like a fine photography companion.
Great video, awesome location, nice images too Simon. Thanks
Much appreciated, Rob!
More! More! More! We love your videos!
Many thanks!
I love the color grading. It really fits the mood and tone of the landscape. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks very much, Evan :)
Love that shot at around 10:00! I'm glad I randomly came across this video just now, it makes me happy for winter to come soon!
What a beautiful part of the world you live in Simon. Photographically speaking, it's amazing
Thoroughly enjoyed both of your videos. The imagery and narration was excellent and both offered a very polished professional look. A breath of fresh air really.
Really appreciate that, Christopher, as the narration is the tricky bit. Not easy to articulate the thought process behind images is it's very much instinctive and emotional. Cheers.
great video and nice photos.... look forward for more wood land
Thanks again! I can't wait to get back into the woods as soon as the conditions suit :)
The photo of the tree is really magic
Thanks very much, Alessandro :)
I can only agree with all the other comments Simon, great Video mate...keep em coming!
Thanks again, Alan. Hope good conditions aren't far away for my next video.
Brilliant Video, Love the Drone shots, it really shows off the stunning area and captured the light and all those colours looked really Magical......Keep up the great work Simon.
You have a real talent for composing beautiful photographs. I have really enjoyed your videos and look forward to more. Thanks for sharing your talent.
That's very kind of you, W Baily. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
I love the intimacy of your photography and that you go into the woodlands rather than only observing them from the outside. I look forward to more of your videos. There is a phrase I first read in a book of Eliot Porter's photographs that describes your work nicely, "intimate landscapes." That is very much what I strive for in my work. I appreciate when you nail it in yours.
Hi Tom! Thank you very for much for watching and for your kind words - much appreciated! I think intimate is the right word as it implies a personal connection, which I think is extremely important :)
Once again Simon a brilliant, inspiring Vlog. Thank you for creating them and please keep em coming.
Many thanks, James. Really appreciate the support :)
Again indeed a new gorgeous video and with a stunning view. The pic of the tree in the foreground of the other tree is really nice and would get such a nice mood in BW (matter of taste for sure^^). Enjoy nature and looking for the next video
Thanks again, Gregory! Yep, I bet it would work well as a B&W image but I just don't shoot B&W I'm afraid. Perhaps I might try it more in the future.
Simon Baxter I understand, was't shooting that much in BW until recently (purchased a X100T for family trip). Seeing directly in BW in the evf was so different that I got caught in the BW shooting mode for a while ^^. Anyway, keep shooting what you like that is the most important to get the passion flowing right :)
Thanks for all the work you put in to make this. Loved it. More please.
Thank you very much for watching! Looking forward to sharing more as soon as I can :)
Fantastic,magic tree!!
magical all round Simon - many thanks for sharing. I really appreciate how you pick out and frame your images
Don't apologize Simon its nice to see every things not perfect. I found it very interesting,the results were top class.
Than you very much, John! Much appreciated :)
Nice. Enjoyed a winter morning in the middle of the summer. Its indeed all about the enjoyment. Beautiful shots. Greetings from a Belgian landscape photographer.
Great video again Simon. You present things really well, thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.
Thank you, Paul. I really appreciate the vote of confidence :)
Really enjoying your videos Simon. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. I'll do my best :)
Lovely video which echoes my own trip out this morning.Trying a new location, getting lost en route, the light and clouds didn't really play ball, but it was a superb few hours of peace and enjoyment of the environment and the experience. Well worth the morning even if no new ground breaking shots. Looking forward to your next instalment!
Many thanks, Alan. Sounds like a typical trip out for me but always enjoyed and never regretted ☺️
These videos are absolutely sublime, I love them. For the days I can't get out to shoot and hike, your vlogs can be therapeutic! haha, well done Mr. Baxter. Also, your dog is wonderful.
Really appreciate that, Nick. Photography is extremely therapeutic for me so I'm pleased if that shows. Meg will be getting an even bigger head with all these nice comments about her ;)
Stumbled across your video and LOVE your four-legged companion. So well behaved and obviously very happy to be with you. Appreciate you sharing your process and really liked the excellent drone footage.
Thank you, Sarah. Much appreciated. Haha, she does absolutely love being out in the countryside and she definitely brings lots of extra joy :)
I love the way you edit your videos! It really brings back the memories seeing your dog running around you while hiking in those beautiful hills. Can't wait to see more you got me hooked! lol Have a great day
Thank you very much, Todd! I really appreciate your comments and I'm looking forward to sharing more :)
Well Done Simon... I'm looking forward watchin to your 3rd video.
Thank you very much :)
Beautiful video, love your work Simon. It brings me peace.
Thank you very much :)
Thank you for sharing your story and expertise. Very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you very much, Trevor!
Excellent video, looking forward to more videos
Thank you, Michael :)
Love seeing those chimney based kettles in use...I have a Ghillie and love it! Nice video Simon, very relaxing to watch and listen to.
Thank you :). Yeah, love using my Kelly Kettle, great piece of kit.
Enjoyed the video. Love the photos. They are beautiful. Your dog seemed to be fighting falling asleep in the end. :-) Bet she had a wonderful time out there with you.
Many thanks :) Haha, yes I'm not sure why she kept closing her eyes but it's quite funny. She loves every minute of it :)
Good one looking forward to more.
Thank you, Bill :)
The drone footage pulling away from the frosted tree and rising up was just magic. The effort you go to is appreciated by many. Keep up the good work.
Beauty is this, Simon. After your previous video I was inspired to get out myself and explore some woodland around North Yorkshire that I had never fully explored. Was very much rewarded for my efforts!
That's brilliant to hear, Jack! Many thanks.
lm a Yorkshire lad myself living 30 minutes South of Yokohama here in Japan.l do bore my Japanese friends with tales of how beautiful the Moors are.lll send them your way to least prove to them that lm not lying.Some great shots there Simon you've really captured the essence of Yorkshire.
Thank you very much, Darren! You can certainly see why some refer to it as Go'd Own Country. There isn't the drama of Scotland, but there's oodles of charm :)
Wow, what a landscape!
I absolutely love you videos, Simon.The photos, the footage, the narration, everything is spot on. I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
Very much appreciated. Thank you!
Love your videos. Very inspirational. Can't wait to see more!
Very much appreciated, Eric :)
Excellent video wonderful balance of light and frosty details.
Very much appreciated, David :)
Beautifully down to earth and stunning images Simon! Keep them coming! :D I also like that you take Meg with you!
Very much appreciated, Renae :). Haha, I think she'd be upset with me if I didn't take her ;)
Bit late to this video. Amazing feeling watching this video and seeing those beautifully captured shots, it blew me away. Keep it up!
Love everything about what you do. From the insight your videos provide about photography, to your personalty that is a breath of fresh air in this space. Looking forward to more content!
That's very kind of you, Taine! Thank you :)
Great Video.. I really enjoy your style and the photos are fantastic
Many thanks, Aaron! Much appreciated.
Great video, Simon! It's fantastic!
Another fine video, Simon. No apologies necessary. I appreciate how much work goes into making something like this and really look forward to more. The photos are awesome, as usual!
Many thanks, Adam. Really appreciate the support!
The photograph at 10:05 min. is outstanding. An image to print large and hanging on a wall. I am currently watching all your vids i did not watch yet. Your photographic eye for woodland is such an inspiration to me to go out and try this kind of photography myself. Thanks Simon!! And greetings to Meg :-)
Your photos are MAGICAL,Simon! Enjoyed the vedio like always, making me feel like I was right there enjoying the frost and the clear sunrise. Beautiful.
Thank you very much, Aadya. Very kind :)
great video Simon! loved the drone shots!
Many thanks, Chris :)
Excellent Simon, some beautiful video there :-)
Thank you, David :)
Fantastic work, I love being in the forest in the fog, cold or anytime where I can find some alone time. Looking forward to see more of your work, and just maybe it will help me get back into shooting landscapes after a very long hiatus.
Many thanks for you comments, William. I really hope it can help inspire you to get out again ☺️
Another great vid- it's always worth it to get out, perfect conditions or not!
Many thanks! Yes, I never regret a trip out as it's great to enjoy it even if the camera stays in the bag :)
Thanks Simon great work and thanks for all the info in the description which completes a great upload.
Thank you again, Rob ☺
Your videos are always a pleasure. You use the drone so well to set the mood and scene, and your photography and insight are excellent. Plus Meg :)
Thank you very much :)
I envy your eye! Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Very much appreciated again - thank you!
Well done Simon! Excellent video, and superb photos!
Thank you very much, Terry :)
I like both images, it really captured the mood. The aerial shot was very good too. I see your dog also enjoy the walk, nice.
Many thanks, Vincent :) Yeah, she loved it, she certainly enjoyed it when it's frosty!
Beautiful 1:1 Aspect ratio shot of the two trees. Very cool.
Thanks again!

When the sun broke above the fog bank while you were still hiking up the mountain... I knew you were late. ;)
Beautiful views. Love the aerial video footage TFS.
Subscribed to your You Tube and Flickr feed, and looking forward to more updates. I'm sure you'll have a Photobook for us sooner or later.
Haha, you're absolutely right. I honestly wasn't expecting the conditions to be so nice. A morning to remember though :) Many thanks for the support and comments!
Another inspiring and wonderful produced vlog. Your photographs are excellent. Keep up the good work. Lokking forward to your next video.

Hello Mr. Baxter sir. excellent videos with amazing images. looking forward to many more videos from you
Thank you very much ☺️
Simon Baxter just curious, but are you Thomas heaton's friend? He did a video couple weeks ago where he went out into the rain with a fella named Simon.
Yeah, that was me. The same bright orange jacket ;)
Simon Baxter a fine color it is, Mr. Baxter, sir. oddly enough, I tried to recently get a similar color outdoor jacket. didn't have my size unfortunately so I opted for a dark green. looks nice, but that fiery orange is mint. well, see you in the next video. have a great day
Great images and vid. Meg is a star. The drone footage with the music is incredible, TH watch out, he's good ;)
Just discovered your videos and i must say i do enjoy them very much! Please keep them coming.
