Aqua and Beyond landscape from Kozu books I can recommend these, fabulous work

I love your videos and they inspire me in my desire to get back into something I love, my biggest question since I no longer have camera gear is what drove your decision to go with Sony Over Nikon or canon gear. I am looking at all 3 but have never shot with Sony but have with Canon and Nikon. But I also notice a large number of Pro's are using Sony hoping maybe I can get some input from you or others who follow you that shoot with Sony and why .

Beautiful photos Simon there must be millions of photos left on hard drives and essential phones I always print at least some images and when I see the printed images I appreciate them more. Thank you for sharing your video

Fantastico. Jorge Neves de Portugal

Magical scenery, masterful photography. Thank you.

I notice you have the tripod extremely high which I understand why but how do you focus? Manually or auto?

Simon I enjoyed your video on printing. My question for you is how did you learn what type of paper best brings out the quality of your images? Thats my challenge when I go to print.

I love that the whole video was devoted to one photo. It shows the patience and precision around a great photo. (When you first walked by that scene, I was saying "That's it - there." Your videos improve our seeing.

The amount of times if watched/listened to this episode and for some reason never seen the snow version of dysfunctional family. It’s wonderful

Beautiful photo of the birch with hoar frost. Here, in one of the areas I live in Ontario Canada, we get hoar frost too. It provides so many different "moods" for the photo subject(s). Almost surreal at times...

Isn't "fermenting" a form of rotting ?? 🧐

Really enjoyed hearing the personal story and background that led to the narrator's love and approach to nature photography. The spotlight vs lantern consciousness concept was fascinating - having that more open, receptive mindset seems key to truly see all the details and magic around you in the woods.

Amazing

Thank you for this video. Your work is amazing.

Very nice and true video thanks. I made the same experience in childhood, but in my time in midden school we had 1 day were the teacher shown us pocket calculators. 😳, no computer There were only one , later two television channels and a lot of family did not had a television set and if it was black and white. It was clear we spent the time in the woods and surrounding landscape. At home we had chickens, Guse , cats, dog, ducks and …. This living close and in nature have been the base for my rekation to nature, same as for you. Regards

Hi Simon I've just got round to watching this video. How helpful and it's further added to my realisation of the importance of experience of and immersion in the environment around us being the provocation of creativity. As a fellow former angler who for years chased elusive monster carp (with occasional success 39lbs being the biggest) I too realised quite quickly the experience of dawns and dusk, watching a barn owl quarter a field in the early morning light and just observing the beauty of water and woodland was reward itself. I've translated this into my photography and with your help this week feel I've taken a significant step forward. Piscator non solum piscatur.

While you explain what does it mean to have awareness into the woods your dog is doing a practical example in the back 3:52

I think you can edit the EXIF data on a photo. Might find away toindex shots that way or just use a file card and a marker.

I am lucky to live on the Oregon Coast and get to explore beaches that are less known with my camera. My favorite is when I come back soaking wet from a dramatic storm without drowning the camera. Rachael would love it!

There is a Rowan County in Kentucky. Now I am wondering if the county wasn't named by early Englishman who pioneered the area.

Nice and interesting video, Simon. The P1 is indeed a beast! Short question, what kind of pouch are you using for your Cube?

I see videos and articles and book chapters about projects. Nobody really says what a project is. Is it whatever you are interested in? Can you shoot anything and call it a project? What is a project and how do you choose one?

Elements ist truly a suitable sponsor for your channel🎉

In the photo details it states 'daylight wb'. What is daylight wb, a setting on the camera?

Nice video. I grew up on vast military heathland fascinated by insects and unusual plants... as I grew up i could never leave it, so I built my career around plants and insects,accepting I'd be financially very poor bit emotionally the richest man alive. I'm now retired as a lecturer in tree anatomy, physiology and ecology and revel in how they all fit together into one 😊

Gorgeous set of woodland images in this video, Simon! Well done!

I felt the same when I switched to digital However, Perseverance has mede it worthwhile. I still miss the magic of film though,

Great video and post production. Love your dog hanging out with you 😊

Great shots, thx for sharing your expertise

The types of awareness you speak of, perhaps it is similar to barbara oakley's Focused and Diffused ways of thinking

Found you via Thomas Heaton, and his tethered video with Nick Carver. Your video had me reminiscing on my own childhood woodland adventures and how those memories translated into my own photography inclinations.

Why do these trees have faces this is weird because they have faces don't woorru about it just like and subscribe and hit that like button

Thank you for this Simon. I followed a link from Tom Heaton to this and so glad I did. What you have spoke about helped me to identify with so much of what I felt was different with my walking with a camera from times past, but not sure why. I can now understand a little more of what in myself I have seen as a change in how I walk in nature's space and how I capture a moment encountered. And possibly why it is with a difference, that is see things present that in the past I know were lost in unawareness Thank you for your insights.

Such creative words, Simon: shining a light, well balanced, awareness aperture, as you celebrate the wonders of our natural environment. Thank you.

We had the same childhood... me a few years ahead of you. It was a great time that kids these day (my son included) just won't know. So well said Simon... I think people who are generally unaware don't know they are unaware.

I agree, third party would be nice. I’d welcome the chance to vote as long as it was a viable candidate.

Thank you Simon for sharing and articulating those thoughts so very well. I appreciate your extensive work & in admire your skill & sensitivity 👍🏻🇦🇺👏🏻

Thank you. Delightful!

Great video Simon. I know no other photographer who make trees look so real in a photo. Simon you were one of my first Vloggers I ever watched on UA-cam and continue to still do. Your woodland photography is second to non keep up your awesome work. Plus I’m a big follower of Rachel’s works to her seascapes are awesome. Thank you.

For me it's odd. I'm patient enough that I could sit in the same spot waiting for something for quite a while. I've laid on the ground with my hand out holding nuts or seeds long enough for squirrels and birds to get used to me and come grab a snack. But when I'm out with my camera I am impatient. As if I'm being timed even though I'm not. I have to constantly battle that. So I fail to fully assess the area I'm standing in. Have to force myself to slow down and breathe. A teacher once told me to take eight pictures of the same subject from different angles. I never do that even though it's in the back of my mind.

I’d love to hear more about some of your fantastical influences on your work in a video, I know you have mentioned Tolkien in the past and I think it would be a valuable video about how things outside of photography can (and always do) influence how we see and feel things in the world as image makers.

Beautiful video Simon. You describe it so well, a childhood roaming through the forests. No cell phones then, no computers, and the only video game around was Pong! 😂 Our camera club is about to a "walkabout" (what I call it) just walking a trail in the park and stopping where we feel like stopping, photographing what looks good to us. Looking forward to it.

A wonderful message Simon. We often get so tied up with work and domestic affairs. Definitely we all need to take time out and breath, let our creativity come through. It’s good for the soul ✌️😌

when l stopped fishing for carp and started hunting them Simon my catch rate increased as did the size of carp and when l stopped chasing photos my keepers increased:)

As I grow older, I treasure the 22-year-old in me. I find it exhilirating to be out and about and experiencing a new start of the day. I'm not a woodland photographer but I tend to sunrise, I love that moment of the day, the promise of a new day, and nature feeling kind of vulnerable in the morning light. As long as I can enjoy this, the 22-year-old in me will remain alive. I really enjoyed your video, your theory and examples resonated with me, you made me smile. Thank you 🙂

This is a wonderful video, Simon. Thank you! I remember being a kid as well, and enjoying nature back then already. In a different way and in a different way of understanding than I do now obviously, but I feel that my love for nature and also details in nature already started back then. Just by being outdoors so often, playing outside and being outside with my pony back then as well. Now I enjoy being outside probably even more than back then as I see all the details in nature. I love being out with my camera, and also with my horse. Of course because I just love being with my horse, he is my best friend. But also because I love being out in nature, after a while of this horrible weather we've had here in the Netherlands I was so excited to take him out for a trail ride last Saturday and I was so excited to see the first signs of spring already. I can see the point as well with the spotlight perception and the lantern perception. Though I feel like sometimes I have a bit of both, if that is possible at all. It depends on what I do and on my state of mind, but sometimes I can really zone in on one thing and stay in that state of mind, doing that thing and nothing else, which can be very satisfying at times. But especially with photography, I try to have more of the lantern perspective, observing everything around me and enjoying it all. But also then it does depend on my state of mind. Very interesting video, thank you once again!

Another very inspiring talk and beautiful scenery. Thank you!!! Loved seeing Meg!!!

Simon, I loved your awareness analogy to aperture and including your dog, sitting off to your side - observing what’s in front of her, demonstrates your point perfectly. ❤
