Enjoy Woodland Photography and Sod Epic!

[@peterosborne9802]

Good to see you again, and meg. I get what you are saying. Thankyou.

[@chrisdraper831]

Great to see you back on my TV, I love how you talk us through your compositions. Also, great to see a video about photography in normal everyday environments.

[@billymoellendick8285]

Good to have you back mate! Happy to hear you are on the mend. I always appreciate your thoughts on the woodlands and the respect you have for the world around us. Looking forward to new adventures with you and Meg!

[@HarmBouwman]

Good to see you and Meg back. I missed your video’s. Hope your health is doing well.

[@brianeastwood9235]

Welcome back Simon, a very inspirational video. Looking forward to some more you get better

[@footprintsacrossscotland1417]

Sorry to hear you’ve not been well Simon, hope you are soon back to full fitness soon. So good to see you return, cheers Paul

[@neetataskar]

Hi Simon. I am a big fan of your Woodland photography. Surely missed your and Meg's presence on KZbin. I am happy that you are back.now. Take Care. God Bless.

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

Great to see you and Meg back out! I'm so sorry to hear you've not been well. Having had some health issues some years ago I know the toll they can have not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too. So it's great to see you out enjoying yourself and on the mend! As a (dumb) aside - I saw the notification for this video immediately after waking up this morning, and my brain looked at the title and was wondering how you were going to make clods of earth epic 🤣

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Many thanks, Lisa. Haha, we use the word sod very differently here 😆

[@karenarden3266]

Great eye for composition and you can explain so clearly what you are shooting and why. I love to hear your thought process. Will be watching closely for the next one. I also still love to look at and read Gathering Time book. It stays out all the time to enjoy. And so good to see Meg too!!! Thanks for the vlog!!

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Karen 😊

[@danevarkevisser4670]

Simon, so good to see you and Meg back in the woods. You are one of the more interesting and thoughtful photographers on KZbin - certainly an influence on me in that you got me into woodland photography, I shoot mostly locally and I like to embrace complex scenes rather than shy away from them.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much and great to hear that you embrace the complexity of woodland :)

[@tuftyhill]

Great to see you back on YT Simon, I just purchased your Woodlands book and it's full of stunning photo's. I'm hoping it'll inspire me to get out in the woodland again 😁

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much for your support and kind words :)

[@stefanmollmann8788]

Good to see you again, inspiring as always! All the best for your health!

[@rickbowdentube]

Sorry to hear you’ve not been well but glad you’re on the mend again. Great to see another video from you. I myself am doing less and less traditional landscape photography these days and much prefer to stay local and photograph the woodlands close to home. Your videos are a constant inspiration and a reminder that you don’t always need epic conditions. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Rick 😄

[@hamshanksproductions7161]

Hello Simon. Lovely photography. Keep well. Look forward to your next film. Regards

[@stefankuhn6887]

Nice to see you back in the woods with the camera and Meg 😄 Beautiful photos again 😊

[@altrujillo3566]

Good to see you back Simon.

[@andrewsmith1127]

Great to see you both back.

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

Glad to see you back and well

[@philipculbertson55]

Great to see you back man. Hope your health continues to improve.

[@wimscheenen3535]

Nice to see another video from you Simon, and in a way welcome back on KZbin! I enjoyed this video, and your explanations of compositions. Looking forward to what you have ‘in store’ for us.

[@peterbaylis8631]

Hi Simon, good to see you back on the tube again, lovely images form this shoot.

[@thiagoperilo7913]

You're awesome, Simon

[@robertnelson3179]

Glad you are back and hope all is well. I can certainly understand. I enjoy your videos immensely the relaxing hall in the forest with a bit of depth in how to arrange a picture to please. My first picture I purchased was from you love it still.

[@nigelmorley8092]

Mr Baxter doing what Mr Baxter does best !! Great to see you and Meg back Simon ! Hope you are feeling well and fully on the road to recovery. Totally concur on your thoughts re YT and the pressure to produce something unrealistically spectacular (one of there reasons I stopped my channel)....just keep doing what you emjoy

[@enricooldoino1967]

Hi Simon I'm soooo glad to see you . Thank for the video . The image I love is the first one ( and I loved the way you explain your work in post processing in your bonus video on KO-FI ) Hope a complete recovery and 'll wait for all the news .A caress to MEG!

[@krisweyers6248]

Glad to see you back

[@rondevries1959]

Happy that you are back on KZbin..... look foreward to moren.... all the best. Ron

[@peterjpalmer3689]

Welcome back Simon. Good to know you are on the mend. I have missed your blogs, they do inspire me to go out into the woods, but sadly yet I do not have your skills, but I am working on it.

[@stephenrowson4828]

It's great to see you and Meg back in the woodland. You are my main man when it comes to inspiring woodland photography. Glad to hear you are on the mend - wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Much appreciated, Stephen! Thank you :)

[@Berry_N]

Missed your videos, glad to see you back out. My best to you.

[@corneliadenk173]

So happy you are back, missed your Videos and photography Tipps a lot. Stay well. Greeting from Salzburg in Austria

[@mikedodsonlabview]

Glad you’re back. Excellent video!

[@juliabyczynski3253]

Good to see you and Meg back. Your videos are soothing and inspirational. Always make me feel like I want to go back to my local woods. I hope you're soon back to good health.

[@denisesavage2382]

Exactly the kind of photography experience that echoes my own reality. Including today. Sod epic - just go out and enjoy anyway, cos being in nature is itself a gift. Also glad to hear you've been doing what you need to do for yourself and your own health. Love the gentleness in the images. Lovely to see Meg playing in the water too. I smiled with that.

[@tommyvonknorring715]

Great to see you again!

[@johnburgess1547]

So glad to see you back & Meg as well. Looking forward to seeing more to inspire me to go to the New Forest near me.

[@LandscapesDronescapes]

Good to see you back Simon. Great images and glad to hear you are on the mend :)

[@giangduong1737]

Very glad to see you again, Simon! Especially to know that you are on the mend! I really enjoy learning from your insight, and Meg adds a special bond to your videos. How do you protect yourself and Meg from leeches and ticks while you are in the woods?

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much. No leeches here, but she takes a pill every few months which stops the ticks :)

[@greghughes3965]

Lovely to see you again Simon. Wishing you good health (and put on some weight please!)

[@jamesurzykowski4918]

Great to see you and Meg again! When there is to much green go Infrared. Just buy an infrared filter to try it first before going through the expense of converting a camera to Infrared.

[@blivieriphoto]

Lovely video Simon! Glad you’re feeling better. Can’t wait to hear your big news! 😊

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Hehe, I think you know the big news already 😜

[@TonyGouge]

Sorry to hear you've ben under the weather, but glad to see you're feeling better and back at it! And good to see Meg too! ;-) Your videos always bring a smile to my face.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much Tony. Hope you are well:-)

[@geirfinnlysne712]

Nice to see you again.

[@larrycitra300]

Great to see you back Simon … always enjoy your videos! I believe those grasses are sedges. Sedges, on closer examination, have 3 sided or triangular stems which sets them apart from regular grasses. The little ditty “Sedges have Edges” is an easy way to remember the difference. Again, welcome back, and all the best to you and Meg!

[@andrewbuchan7413]

Nice to see you back Simon, I’ve missed your videos. Pleased you’re on the mend.

[@ronvanelst6701]

Hi Simon, nice to see you and Meg again on the tube. I've always liked your approach on woodland photography, as can be seen by the images you took at this session. Take your time to regain strength and do not get into the rat race of having to put out a video every week for us...... Very interested as what the project is going to be. Can't wait to find out. Regards, Ron.

[@iamato71]

What a joy to see you both back in the woods. Yours is one of the few photography vlogs I haven't unsubscribed from, after I myself gave up landscape photography due to an overdose of repetitive images. I'm slowly regaining my love for photography with my first analogic and a couple of rolls of film a month. Thank you and I wish you good health.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Many thanks and hope you continue your love of photography:)

[@valhallafallen]

Glad to see you after all this time!!!! Great video and waiting for you news soon!

[@philippecarpentier801]

Bonjour à vous, quel plaisir de vous retrouver 😊. En France, cette fleur blanc crème, se nomme la "Reine des prés"! 😉

[@susanfirth2279]

So nice to see you and Meg back in the woodland. Sorry to hear that you have been unwell but glad to hear you are on the mend. Your health comes first, we will be here when you are. Love watching Meg enjoying her streams. Thanks for sharing. Take care

[@BerndLaukotter]

Nice to see you back and motivated for some awesome woodland videos. A different approach in a different woodland area: nice to see how you make the best from every scene. Woodland in Germany is often different from North England. Knarly trees are really rare. I hope for more videos from you with Meg as co-author. Greetings from Bernd

[@o.thomas5768]

Good to see you again. It's always so inspiring watching you composing your beautiful pictures.

[@nickbailey9038]

great to see you back! All the best...

[@narelle4868]

So good to have you back Simon. You certainly haven't lost your magic while you've been convalescing. Wishing you full recovery to the best of health and more woodland wanderings.

[@pbsalfen]

Need to take care of yourself FIRST! That said: Great to see you and Meg back out slogging through the underbrush!

[@fflphotos4362]

New subscriber and really liked the woodlands video. We have 3 Great Pyrenees dogs and loved the inclusion of Meg in the woods. I have had flu for the past 3 days and am happy to recover. I hope you continue to improve as well.

[@angelasinclair5152]

Good to see you back where you belong Simon and Meg too, doing what you do best. Like the inclusion of flora and grasses amongst the trees bringing another dimension. Hope your health continues to improve, time really is an amazing healer...

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Angela 😊

[@ewallperschwaznyk4169]

Bravo!!

[@marellacoyle6999]

It is a joy to see you back again Simon you are The Master of woodland photography and I've learned so much from you're vlogs. I hope you continue to recover from health images and get back to doing what you love so much. Great to see Meg again to. What is that tripod head you use, I'd love to get one ?

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much! It's an Arca-Swiss Cube: tidd.ly/7793e28f

[@walking-photographer]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell, hope you're well on the mend now. As always an excellent and inspiring video

[@JoelJohnPhotography]

Great to see you back mate!

[@BERNARDSIELSKI]

So glad to see you back Simon .You dont need epic every thing you do is epic in my eyes

[@brucetreloar3200]

Great to see you both again. There is something very relaxing and peaceful to today's images. I think looking for the spectacular we over look the ordinary. Well done.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

That's great to hear, Bruce. Many thanks 😊

[@deanarcher3798]

Welcome back!

[@lennartphotography]

Nice to see you and Meg back in the woods, I think it's great to be out in a more ordinary woodland that looks a little bit more like the woods we photographs. Great photographs. Thanks for sharing.

[@SeaAngMo23]

Best wishes!

[@tonygaskins3190]

Nice to see you back and I'm sorry to learn you've been unwell and I hope your recovery continues at pace. I love the 1st image, especially the version in rain. As ever, your narrative about composition is really helpful. It's good to see you back

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Tony! Hope you are well

[@dmiller9786]

I was worried about you. Good for you taking a break.

[@daveking5680]

Good to see back out there. :)

[@ianhill9309]

Nice to see that your back in your heaven Simon, of the woodland plenty to discover. And Megs having a good blast about. Take care.

[@1vahalla1]

Welcome back. Sorry you had some health issues. I keep telling my wife that Meg is my favorite internet dog. She is a wonderful part of your Vlogs and I bet was a big part of your recovery ❤ Be well.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Hehe, great to know about Meg fans 😄. Many thanks!

[@davidskinner274]

No problems waiting for you to be back, Simon. Thanks for the 617 club, too.

[@LeePelling]

Glad to see you are feeling better mate, thats the main thing. Nice to see you out and about in a scene and situation the vast majority of us find ourselves in , some nice images from the trip just goes to show you dont need epic locations and conditions, although its great if you can , for many when photography is a hobby there is so much other life stuff going on , personally speaking , time is a big factor , or the lack there of . Great to see you out and about again, all the best !

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Welcome back. Great video 👍🙂

[@sstarr1310]

Glad you’re back, we’ve missed you. It’s nice to see Meg again frolicking in the stream. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Take care.

[@jeff8289]

Hi Simon and Meg. It's so wonderful to see the two of you out and about. We've missed you. There is one frame where you can really see the love and devotion that Meg shows in her eyes. I think she is more excited to be out there than those of us desk-bound photographers. You've inspired me once again. I will keep a camera on my desk as a daily reminder that, as Wordsworth so aptly put it, "The world is too much with us". Looking forward to your next video.

[@robertgrenader858]

Welcome back, Mate. We missed you. That image around 13:10 was amazing; the greens and yellows were beautiful.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Robert :-)

[@mervroberts5134]

Welcome back, Simon, always good to see a new video from you. Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Meg’s obvious joy being out in the woods again is very heartwarming.

[@michellamontagne]

(Sorry for my long comment Simon...) I was missing you Simon 😊. Glad you came back and glad you feel better. People can be so nasty. I could not do what you're doing. I don't have the emotional strenght for it. By the way, I recently was sick and lost a lot of weight and was weak also (my wife said I was looking like someone in a concentration camp), but I'm glad to say I was able to regain some streight and weight. Simon, I'm just at the 4 th minute of your video, but I want to ask you something. You are the one who gave me the desire to take pictures in woodland. Because I like so much your style, I bought a sony camera like the one you had (a7r III) and the same lens you have also (Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GMII) and also a Benq monitor (SW272Q). But I'm struggling with Adobe RGB and sRGB, softproofing and all that stuff. Do you have a course or a video I can buy to learn what you do? Is there something simple I can do? Do I have to be a patreon? I would like to know what you're doing to edit for prints and for the web. I spend so much time on youtube... To be simple, I'm doing everything sRGB, but I know it's not the best quality for printing. Thank you ahead. Sincerely.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much! I'm afraid I don't have a tutorial for this but you'll be fine working in sRGB to be honest. I currently have my monitor calibrated to sRGB even though I'm working in AdobeRGB in lightroom. It gives me better consistency across devices and my prints are still accurate.

[@michellamontagne]

@@SimonBaxterPhotography Wow! You don't know how much your answer is a relieve for me! Thank you so much for having taking the time to answer me. 🙏

[@michellamontagne]

@@SimonBaxterPhotography I have just finish to look at your video. Thank you again. My wife said that you have a calming effect 🙂. To thank you for your help, I'm gonna support you right away with a donation on your website. Not that much sorry, I work only part time because of bad health, but I need to show my appreciation. Thanks again "my inspiration" 👍.

[@randyschwager84]

I’ve been missing you and your wonderful photography! I’m so happy your health is back on track and I’m looking forward to learning so much more from you! Thanks for taking me along!

[@mattbibbings]

Far too long but well worth the wait! I hold you as one of my true inspirations in my photography so I'm genuinely glad to see you back on KZbin. Glad to hear you are on the mend.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Much appreciated, Matt. Thank you :-)

[@adamstevens7064]

The Master returns! Being calm and real in a world that is loud and fake is hard to do. Keep creating 😊

[@peterxtrahan]

Welcome, welcome back. Not only that you are back, but more so that you are well and recovering.

[@joao.s.cardoso]

Welcome back Simon. We did missed your content. It was also a great opportunity to see older videos on your channel, that are always atual and of great value. Welcome back, and hope your health issues are a thing of the past as soon as possible. Cheers.

[@judylindo6874]

So happy to see you back! I've missed watching your walks with Meg

Welcome back, Simon! Hope your health continues to improve, and looking forward to your next video!

[@OxleySteve]

Really good to see you and Meg out in the woods again Simon. Looking forward to seeing more content in the future. In the meantime hope you continue back to full health/strength.

[@billjohnstonjr.1037]

Welcome back! And thank you again for Meg.

[@johnpunnett1426]

Good to see you back Simon & glad you got over the health issues. That wood looked so difficult to image - the type of wood where I would give up - so chaotic but as always you have shown that with a bit of persistence & a good compositional eye you can still come away with good images. Thank you for the inspiration & looking forward to the the things to come.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, John. Yeah, it's a tricky one but I'm sure there's lots more to come from there :)

[@RoseKerin]

Its wonderful to have you back with another inspiring video, I went to the forest yesterday at Hanmer Springs in NZ so keen on some ideas for when I go back next time. . .

[@poolv]

Great to see you and your faithful companion again

[@ianmcdiarmid4563]

Those wild flowers like meadowsweet have been phenomenal this year the lanes round here are full of it.

Great to see you back Simon. Loving the more natural colours in these images, so refreshing from all the over saturated images we see these days.

[@finkster321]

Simon, glad you are back and feeling better. Always looki forward to seeing you work and the wonderful results. Be well!

A Great big welcome back Simon! You have been missed 😊

[@Boatzerama]

Great to see you and Megan back and glad you are feeling better. Excellent photos📷👍🏼

[@ChrisMustermann]

I am very happy, that you are back! I honestly thought about what happened to you and interestingly came to the conclusion that you were annoyed by today’s social media stuff and needed a brake from it. I don’t know why I came to this conclusion, but maybe it was a bit right… Altogether I am curious about what exactly happened and how your thoughts are related to Instagram etc., because I and many other photographers have some problems with social media ourselves. Maybe you could share your thoughts on this topic … it could be helpful for some of us. But only if you like, of course. 😊

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Many thanks! Ah, it's probably best avoided talking about specifics but I might look at discussing some general thoughts :)
