I have got into the habit of finding a spot in the woodland that feels interesting and staying there and looking around. I find that I need time to focus and get into the groove. Recent made 4 nice images without moving more than 5m in one glade, 2 intimate and 2 wider images. Getting lost in time, in the woods, is my top tip to seeing through the chaos. Thanks for sharing Henry.
Turning around to look where I've been is something I learned early on once I noticed that, during return walks that the view in front and behind were two different things.
one tip I would say is look for the little things like the bench that you showed in the video. sometimes the contrast of the leaves behind the bench or the surrounding area with the contrast of the bench is awesome shot.
Quite like the concept of “color depth” at 11:50 or so! You say it felt chaotic, but I think with the tree bringing background contrast (brown/yellow) it simplified it nicely
Thanks! Turning back on your track to see what you’ve passed, not only from a different angle but in different light (especially In the morning or late afternoon), opens up so many new possibilities. Translucent leaves look entirely different in transmitted light vs. reflected light, and I look for backlighting to make fall images glow.
I went on a little 'expedition' myself the other day, just with the sole intention of photographing leaves. I was really pleased with some of the results. So much so that I'm thinking of putting a photography book together entitled 'Take a leaf out of my book!' 😊😊
Just came in from a walk through a eucalyptus forest, turned on your video, and there I was in a totally different woodland. Beautiful intimate shots, Henry, and just loved the photo with the bench, surrounded by autumn colour. Could have sat on it to rest my old legs! We have none in ours, all bush. So your video rested me completely. Many thanks for the walk!🇦🇺
My autumnal photography tip: Don't delay getting out the warm clothes. I was used to the 90°F (32°C) summer heat we had a month ago, but we just received a foot (30cm) of snow over the weekend. It can be enough to make me hide in bed under the covers. If I'm out shooting and get cold and wet, all creativity disappears. If I have the right clothes I'll stay out all day in the cold. Plus it's easy to shed layers if you get too warm.
It may be the location as it is one of my favorite subjects, but I've one word that I think says it best for someone I think hails from the U.K. "Brilliant ! " I watched this like I was hiking with you and there wasn't a moment where I wasn't hyperfocused, pun intended . Bravo sir from a new fan .
Up on Skye at present, and autumn seems to have done its thing on the island most of the trees are nearly bare in the spots I have been to unlike last year around Inverness where it was amazing colour wise
I just took some photos similar to yours this week. I always use a polarizer to bring out the color of the leaves. Looks like you’re 2 weeks too early.
You say that with the wide angle, but my favourite lens this autumn has been the Panasonic 9 mm. With it's 10 cm closest focal distance it's great for setting mushrooms or leaves in scene.
I went out yesterday to shoot since I was so depressed with the election here in US. Have state park nearby that is usually at its best about now and it was. My best shots from it though were the small intimate shots of a single leaf or two on the ground
In autumn I always love to photograph the mushrooms that stand randomly in between the leaves 🍂 especially white once among the brown orange leaves, it looks so pretty 🤩
Fully agree about the point you made about being in the moment when fully immersed in a potential composition you have spotted and how its like meditation. On my recent trip to local woodland looking for similar shots, i ended up coming home with an assortment of Autumnal coloured leaves and a birds feather and had a great few days at home attempting to create some still life Autumnal compositions, totally unplanned and last thing i thought i would end up doing. Its amazing all the avenues photography can open up for you.
Best tip I can give Henry is get out and for every excuse you make for not going out, think of two reasons for getting out. Saying that it's the coast for me this weekend then a day in the city but all adds up to be out at the end of the day
Re Tarn Hows, I was there with a couple of friends on the 30th October and I was surprised to see how many trees have been lost to disease and high winds. We were talking to the NT bloke manning the car park and he said they have lost a lot of the larch trees which give the oranges and rusty colours this time of year to disease. It just doesn’t look the same does it.
I enjoyed the video as usual Henry. Taking image's of individual leaves is something i need to try. You captured some really nice image's of them, which i really liked. Look forward to the next one.
Great vlog Henry! And your calendar looks ace by the way, looking forward to putting up in Jan! My tip would be "check out the images others have taken at the location your going to on Google" it's good to give you a few ideas before you arrive at any popular woodland.
really enjoyed that Henry. idea to take autumn leaves/ colours i have created a little studio at home and took some lovely autumn leaves which i had collected from across the woods.
I like woodland as it still looks good mid day, so I dont have to get up early. I find software such as DXO pure raw and Topaz work well to bring back the fine details in the leaves on the trees and floor.
Great video, as usual. I love to look for the little things as well, or, as you put it, "little pockets of colour". It's interesting that you brought the Zuiko 7-14 with you as it's a quite heavy lens. Which reminds me of the time two weeks ago when I watched your video on the 'image quality' photography trap. I thought, hell yeah, don't emphasize on your gear (talking to myself) so much, but the moment you took out the 7-14 I knew I had to have it. I had thought about which wide angle lens might be useful before, reading some reviews that critizised abberation and the shape of the front lens and so on. You sorta won me over and the next day I went to my local camera store and got it. I've taken some amazing photos with it already. Not only does it give you the opportunity to get a small room into your photograph, you can also move very very close to whatever you want to shoot. A small leaf on the ground for example. Which brings me back to this video. Thanks for your inspiring work!
Your old home down in Shropshire has hit peak this week, Henry - Wales should be similar. That Woodland looks particularly sheltered which may explain.
I had a nice row today in nice sunny weather. In the meantime, I managed to take a few pictures. Complex waterfront landscape details, facing the day. For me, this pair of Zeiss Milvus - D810 is a real autumn equipment, they bring the mood properly! :)

Another very good content. Thanks Henry. As a tip I would probably recommend the opposite of what you said at the beginning: Don't focus too much on autumn, just take pictures of what peek your curiosity and let the particularity of autumn guide you in the process. Is that makes any sense?
Great comments I picked up on "Work with what you've got" "Order within the Chaos" definitely things I've done when out in the forest. Only thing I would suggest for those close intimate shots is to get a 40mm or 50mm Macro lens would be awesome to show more detail. Great video and great photos. At least your not whining like Thomas Heaton is in his last video - lol
Hi Henry, Can i just ask what model evoc bum bag is that, it looks ideal fro micro four thirds if you dont want to take a lot of gear with you, even street photography. Thanks again for another superb video.

Another awesome video Henry. Thank You for your inspiration and also thanks for showing the complex yet simple things.
Turning around to look where I've been is something I learned early on once I noticed that, during return walks that the view in front and behind were two different things.
My tip for autumnal photography, experiment with White Balance.
one tip I would say is look for the little things like the bench that you showed in the video. sometimes the contrast of the leaves behind the bench or the surrounding area with the contrast of the bench is awesome shot.
I typed that before you shot the bench, I was thinking making it the center of the shot is where I was going with my tip.
Quite like the concept of “color depth” at 11:50 or so! You say it felt chaotic, but I think with the tree bringing background contrast (brown/yellow) it simplified it nicely

I really enjoy your videography and you taking us on your walks. I also enjoy your beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing.

my tip would be to use a polarizer to get rid of the glare and let the colors pop a lot more . great video again
Good tip!

Beautiful images Henry with great tips, you can’t beat a beautiful woodland 😍
Thanks 👍
I just took some photos similar to yours this week. I always use a polarizer to bring out the color of the leaves. Looks like you’re 2 weeks too early.
I like the combination of coloured leaves and green leaves. Close up shots of moss with tiny mushrooms or plants are lovely.
Nice walk through the woods Henry Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy the videos that contain photography for the amateur. This is a real good one. I'm going out tomorrow with camera in hand

Love that!
I really love those intimate photographs like the yellow and green leaves!
Thanks so much!
Nice job Henry! Thanks for taking me along!

Always look behind - something I do always - great advice Henry
Absolutely
Great video Henry. Thanks for the tips. Going to give some local woodland a try in the next few days.
Best tip I can give Henry is get out and for every excuse you make for not going out, think of two reasons for getting out. Saying that it's the coast for me this weekend then a day in the city but all adds up to be out at the end of the day
Great tip that mate!! Are you shooting in the city?
Another grand day out Henry, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching

Exactly the same here in Kent. Thinking of going out for a morning shoot tomorrow but the trees really haven't changed to their autumn colour yet😒
Great video, as usual. I love to look for the little things as well, or, as you put it, "little pockets of colour".

Yes north Wales has been at peak mostly, amazing

Hi Henry, just wanted to say thanks for the calendar well happy.
No worries and thanks a lot for the support!!
Great comments I picked up on "Work with what you've got" "Order within the Chaos" definitely things I've done when out in the forest.

At least your not whining like Thomas Heaton is in his last video - lol
Hi henry. I've just bought an om1 mk2. The focus dot seems to jump around can you show us on screen how you focus on a subject. Thanks
How many km/miles do you walk in your typical outing?
Those two leaves were very bright and stood out - had you applied a select subject mask and done a lot of tweaking in LRC?
Just a small bit of tweaking, mostly making the background a little darker and less saturated
It is a FABULOUS image
Will Henry Turner bring me back my chickens?? 😂😂😂
Welcome to Wales Henry
I would be tempted to change my settings to “vivid” in those conditions.
Good tip actually 👍🏻
Hi Henry, Can i just ask what model evoc bum bag is that, it looks ideal fro micro four thirds if you dont want to take a lot of gear with you, even street photography.
Thanks again for another superb video.
Hi mate it's this one: geni.us/evocpack
Henry, make a video with Thomas Heaton!!!
👍📷😎
uhuuuu first
Why is this video showing so dark? Hard to tell what it really looks like
Sorry, the woodland was dark and my video camera wasn't set too well
Turn your screen up 🙂
