I Snuck This One In!

[@colinjamesphoto]

Great video, missed your enthusiasm glad you've returned.. Have a good weekend, 👍

[@RachelLerch]

Hey thank you! 😊 You too!

[@davidbee8648]

You haven't lost your touch for taking great nature photographs nor have you lost the joy of doing so. Thanks for coming back, your videos are refreshing.

[@RachelLerch]

David! 😃😃 We’ve missed you! Hope you are doing well. Thanks so much 😊

[@6gwilliams]

Rachel Lerch you are always an inspiration to photographers to just get out there and start snapping, and find and create some great images, whatever your gear, new, old, and whatever the weather and season. Cheers and thanks Rachel Lerch.

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you so much! What a nice thing to say. That makes me happy!

[@6gwilliams]

@@RachelLerch well deserved. Cheers and best to you.

Beautiful Rachel. Thank you and welcome back. David, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, UK

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you David! ☺️

[@patriciazn8471]

At the very second I saw them I was sure you were about to take pictures of the red berries on the black and white trees. That is what I would have done and you made it so beautifully. Thanks for the walk!

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you! Yes I couldn’t resist. They really stood out.

[@slewisgreen]

Rachel, so nice to see your videos, here I am in my warm house in Connecticut, while you are in the snow...boy, am I lazy. thanks again for the swell videos

[@RachelLerch]

Haha! Somebody has to stay warm! 😊😊👍

[@Mr09260]

So Glad you are BACK >> from a warm , Sunny South Africa along the Garden Route at Hartenbos >> stay warm there in Icy Canada

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you! And that sounds lovely. Must be really nice there.

[@denisroy81]

Bonus! Twice in one week! Welcome back.

[@RachelLerch]

Hi Denis! 😄 Thanks!

[@charlenenagel7962]

This was so enjoyable! Nice photos in challenging light and a good reminder to take those old lenses out for a walk. :) And the music was the perfect fit for an inquisitive adventure! Loved it!

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you so much Charlene! 😊😊😊

[@loekybaltes]

great video . I like the photos Don't worry about being late for work. Snow goes away and work remains . I hope you enjoy the cold and snow. It is also cold here where I live, it is now only 30 degrees Celsius 😂 Wish you all the best and stay healthy. Greetings from Baltex Peter from Bangkok Thailand 🙏

[@RachelLerch]

Sounds wonderfully sunny!! I like your advice! Thank you 😊

[@OneStrangeJourney]

Great Vid! The winter snowy ones are the best!

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you! The snow is just so pretty!

[@liborkrupica5686]

Rachel, very nice images. My favorite is the macro image of the red berries covered with snow. I too love my Minolta gear. Anyway it is time to move to R75.

[@RachelLerch]

Thanks! 😊 Truly there does come a time when we have to move on from some gear right? Alas!

[@nb7524]

Hi, it is nice to see another one of your positive videos. I really like all of your pictures, the first two shots of the red berries are beautiful. I look forward to your next video.

[@RachelLerch]

Hey thank you! 😊

[@maureenfenty3331]

Amazing video Rachel! Love it!

[@RachelLerch]

Thank youuuu. You're the best. Always.

[@alanhiggins737]

great to see you back again awesome vid ty ty

[@RachelLerch]

Thanks Alan!

[@bradleytaylor6128]

So few snow days this year, glad you got out. Enjoyed your marco photos they are great 👍

[@RachelLerch]

Thanks!! The snow is now all gone! The rain has washed it away.

[@md3631363]

Amazing photos! You're an inspiration, to get out for photography before work rather than after! :) Also, huge congratulations on the amazing channel growth! I subscribed to you at least two years ago I think and somehow lost track of your videos and now you're at 17.4K subs!! :)

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

It looks like a great time, I really like the park bench between the trees. It makes me want to sit there and eat a snocone watching the falling snow! Greg

[@RachelLerch]

Yes! It really was an enjoyable morning. An uplifting way to start the day!

[@davidkelsey2864]

Glad to see you back and your amazing photography and that nice cool weather. (It is 39Degree C here ). I've heard of colour photography, black and white photography but tricolour? Amazing photos go the trees with the berries.

[@RachelLerch]

😂👍 Thanks David! I like that.. tricolour!

[@Barbara-lw5ou]

Such a beautiful video Rachel, glad you haven’t lost your touch for taking shots out in the snow - just gorgeous. I particularly like the two big trees which seemed to be guarding the bench waiting for someone important to come along and sit there and it was for you! I hope you weren’t late for work - hope you have an understanding Boss who also likes photography. Have a great week. Stay safe and warm 🙋‍♀️😊

[@RachelLerch]

Aw thank you Barbara! 😊 The trees are so beautiful. Luckily I have a wonderful boss, and.. I made it to work on time!

[@debbielowe9167]

You have me wanting to find some snowy scenes to photograph - you do so well with them. I noticed you named your fun music "Snow Journey" . Perfect! Thanks for gifting us with another beautiful video. 🙂

[@RachelLerch]

You should! Time to plan a trip right? 😊😊😁 Thanks Debbie

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I didn't imagine it, back you really are!

[@RachelLerch]

😄😁👍

[@relaxingmusicwithbeautiful3384]

It was been a long time I haven’t see you ❤but now you’re back:-)

[@RachelLerch]

Aw hello! It's so nice to be back! :)

[@svendwithfelt9848]

Welcom back All the best from Denmark

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you! 😊

[@PrinceJvstin]

"clear as a bell, cold as hell" is a phrase about temperature here too in Minnesota

[@RachelLerch]

😂😂👍 That describes it!!

[@timday]

So atmospheric, I love the berries but there was also something about the shape in the first image that I really liked. Hope you weren't too late for work.

[@RachelLerch]

Thanks Tim! It’s funny… sometimes the photo I least expect to get excited about makes an impression on me when I see it later. I was just on time for work. Phew! 😅

[@aviatorman8]

Aww beautiful compositions! Loved the first two! How do you find and make good compositions? The first image has such a balanced and symmetrical framing. I think it deserves a video describing your compositional techniques!

[@RachelLerch]

That sounds like a fun video to make! Thank you! 😊 It would be interesting to also hear how others go about composition. I imagine we are all different somewhat. I like the idea!

[@aviatorman8]

@@RachelLerch definitely!

[@LahcenBelqas]

🎉🎉You are great and inspiration in nuture photography so have a nice day 👍👌

[@RachelLerch]

Oh thank you! You have a nice day too.

[@markattardo]

Nice seeing you again so soon! Do snowflakes on the lens affect the image much?

[@RachelLerch]

Yes they definitely can. If they are melted it’s like a big raindrop and if they aren’t, it’s like a piece of fluff or dandruff. 😄 However it may be minimal depending on your settings. You may get a soft round blurry spot or a harsher dot on your image.

[@markattardo]

@@RachelLerch So it's about what I imagined. Appreciate you confirming that for me👍👍

[@trevorsneath4665]

Love those berries, and they look like rosehips.

[@RachelLerch]

They are so pretty!

[@TC_Conner]

Do you have some kind of super power to stay out in the cold and snow? 💜👍🏻👍🏻💜

[@RachelLerch]

Haha! Wish I did!!

[@mrtings]

I must say, I am really enjoying your original music 🎶 😂

[@RachelLerch]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I’m definitely not a musician so it’s really great to be able to play and compose electronically!

Love this

[@Bobcat-1967]

Four years since I last saw snow.

[@RachelLerch]

Wow! Time for a trip!

[@mirrorlessny]

is that A-mount Sony?

[@RachelLerch]

Yes it is!

[@mirrorlessny]

@@RachelLerch very cool, sometimes wonder that I should of started with photography earlier so as to experience these cameras, e-mount is working out well 🙂📸

[@RachelLerch]

Cool! Someday I will upgrade but the e-mount I have my eye on is too much money! But I’m happy with my camera 😊

[@mirrorlessny]

@@RachelLerch which e-mount you have your eye on? so many of them now

[@RachelLerch]

Well, a couple of years ago I had my eye on the Sony a7riv... but I'll have to look into it again. And decide if I really need to take up that much file space! But I used one at the Kando conference in Oregon when it first came out and I really liked it.
