Join Me and Capture Quiet Scenes with Nature Photography

[@c.alcazar2584]

3 beautiful photos but my favorite is the white flowers....

[@stephenedmunds207]

Putting the image in a frame on the video is very effective and helpful,good stuff.

[@banditalley9592]

It never ceases to amaze me how a simple scene on the video camera turns into an incredible piece of art that anyone would be proud to have on their wall. You have an amazing eye and tremendous talent as a photographer. Thank you for sharing your photographic journeys on here.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you so much 😀

[@laurelb8372]

Gorgeous images, and how nice to sit and enjoy birdsong

[@nancymckay7691]

What a nice way to start my day! You captured the magic of the spring forest “hush”.

[@karencarter9726]

As an Ecologist and photography enthusiast I very much appreciate your highlighting the interesting flora and fauna of the woodland in addition to the always inspiring photography. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge both biologically and as photographer.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Awe thanks Karen. I also work as an ecologist. Not sure whether you knew that?

[@Northumberlandwoodlands]

Ha didn't know what I was listening to in the first ten secs , until the deer moved that was... .thanks Simon another great video...

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alwynwilliams2661]

Ecellent images I do like the dreamy effect.

[@gingerspoons6078]

❤ beautiful images. Thanks for creating and sharing ❤️

[@lindarosen5297]

The cow parsley is my favourite this time. Interesting to see how you set up your shots.

[@beckywaters1843]

Wonderful as usual. Simple but lovely. I enjoy your commentary as well.

[@ihavevitiligo]

Always a treat! Thanks Simon. Happy travels, talk soon.

[@rickgovek2715]

Another wonderful video, Simon. Thank you!

[@susanneh2207]

I said it before and will say it again - I love your videos. The love you have for nature and photography is so radiant in your videos and in your face, it always warm my heart. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your findings with us! Your videos always make my day! I can't wait to see your video from Switzerland! Safe travels!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks again Susanne. I hope you enjoy the Swiss film when you get a chance to see it.

[@dennispenton2052]

Great Insights. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@glynparry6598]

Lovely images Simon and thank you for sharing

[@davebenson1504]

Wow... I have never heard the deer in Canada....I always enjoy just having "a good look around" too Simon... 🙂 such beauty so close to the highway... bluebells, white flowered, grass and ferns too 🙂 Beautiful first image 🙂 Great advice on photographing insects early on a cool morning 🙂 I actually like your video file clip at about 15:55 better than the posted still... the floral blues in the video show a bit better for me 🙂 the little bug/insect on top of the middle bluebell makes for a nice extra touch, you couldn't have planned it better.... 🙂 Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing Switzerland 🙂

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks for watching Dave and taking the time to leave a such a great comment.

[@davebutton1811]

Great video. I especially love the first image 😍

[@lorrainebooth4718]

Can’t decide which I like best all stunning anyway Enjoy Switzerland 😊

[@bobh1883]

This is my favorite channel. Full stop.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Awe, thanks Bob

[@JonGibbsPhotography]

Beautiful images and a lovely relaxed video Simon. A pleasure to watch.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks Jon

[@rosssayer6524]

Thanks very much Simon for sharing that with us really enjoyable. Loved those 3 bluebells

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Ta Ross

[@ratgirl13]

It’s always nice to go out and about with you Simon, I learn so much and enjoy your company-your photos are lovely. ❤

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Awe thanks for that. Glad you enjoy the wanderings

[@iaincphotography6051]

Exquisite, another good morning out for you Simon.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Not a bad collection for the time that I had. Thanks Iain.

[@williampetersen2899]

If your objective for this channel is to teach and inspire Simon, you're nailing it! The last bluebell image was stunning. I've used larger sticks to temporarily hold down distracting stems of plants in the foreground and background, but never thought of using them to align the flowers to the focus plane. Yet another Simon Booth tip to take into the field next time!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Glad it proved useful William. Thank you.

[@larrylindell1027]

Simply amazing

[@philpetrie]

Brilliant Simon , thank you

[@davidskinner274]

Great work on tbe first image hand held, beautiful, Simon

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@grantnewton5705]

3 great images ….. love the soft foregrounds in the first and third images … and with the lovely backgrounds, the subjects really shine

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you so much 😀

[@joetagg1961]

😂Your videos have a calming quality that I greatly appreciate, You make photography look easy.. Thank you for sharing .

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

It's often said that they have that quality and I am grateful that they come across this way.

[@mawavoy]

Lovely focal length impact in the first image.

[@mattleccese]

Great video as always Simon 🙏

[@bobnmarewilcox4855]

Thank you.

[@susanfirth2279]

Can't chose a favorite image. All so good. My type of photography as well. Great tip on using those sticks to separate the 3 bluebells. Wouldn't have thought of that. But worked a charm.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks Susan

[@neeravnaik]

Love it! There always so much to learn from your videos

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Great feedback, thanks

[@flaarcher]

All are great images, but the first one has a etherial blue coming through that transforms it from just being a photo of white flowers to something magical. Now THAT'S photography!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you so much

[@wajidqureshi4105]

Brilliant video with amazing pictures...I particularly like the flower images....that image almost looks like a water colour artwork with softness of light and depth of field used to very creative effect....I really like the bluebells images - never thought of using sticks to bring them to same focusing level, and the blades of grass with background blur looks so beautiful. Simon, you are such an inspiration to many, and while I may not get the chance to watch your video on the day it is uploaded, it is on my to do list...and will make time to watch it over a cup of tea.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Nice to here the tips are useful and you enjoy the films. Thanks for commenting.

[@neutrinissimo5118]

Some more very beautiful images :)

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Many thanks

[@markbray3038]

Thanks Simon another Wow

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Cheers Mark

[@johncarnahan4067]

Fantastic video Simon and absolutely beautiful photos the first one for me is definitely 5 also 5 for the last one Really enjoyed the video thank you very much for sharing it

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks John. I'm really pleased with that first one.

[@andrewentwistle9694]

It suddenly dawned on me in the first four and a half minutes of this film how perfectly suited your voice is to your craft.. You explain things in such a way, whether it be about photography or about your surroundings, that to me at least, makes you appear like the David Attenborough of photography.. Another enchanting piece of work, Simon.. Is this Roddlesworth Woods?

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

That's quite a compliment. I met him once. You can PM me about the location of you like. I won't put it on here.

[@MarkRomine]

Excellent!

[@neilcousineau4956]

Another great video. I prefer your woodland landscape over the close ups. Either way I enjoy your knowledge of the environment and photography. Cheer from southern Georgian Bay Ontario Canada

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks Neil. Best wishes to you.

[@robertnystrom289]

Once again, another great job Simon! Appreciated the 'nuthatch' hole remodel info. Nice work tricking Mother Nature on the blue bells- hope you got a signed release from the bug gracing the middle flower! And for what it's worth, my parrot was glued to the video and squawked along with the birdsong- you've got another subscriber!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Has he got an Instagram I can follow?

[@garrydelday5816]

Gorgeous images Simon, will be taking on board these ideas the next time I’m photographing flora 👌🤔

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Good luck Garry

[@ruudmaas2480]

Beautiful work,

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you very much!

[@wimscheenen3535]

Beautiful scenes once again Simon. Especially like the first composition with the little white flowers and out of focus bluebell colors.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Many thanks Wim

[@LynneH-ej6rx]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Your photos are amazing. Thank you for talking us through the process of how you capture the beauty you share in your videos.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks for the sub Lynne. Hope you enjoy the channel going forward.

[@anja5758]

I love your videos not only because of the photography but also because of the great respect for nature you have, and those little stories about it.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks Anja. I’m glad that you are gaining so much from them.

[@dimitristsagdis7340]

Nice work !!!

[@beckymurphy3603]

First photo of white flowers was stunning. Loved the 2nd bluebell pic but have to say I would have shooed away the bug…it distracted from the beauty of the flowers.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks for the comment Becky

[@salomekruger4176]

Thank you Simon. Your work is both educational and inspirational.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you

[@frankwachter.]

beautiful Pictures!!

[@tonyjackman6699]

Love the images. I also like your calm, quiet approach in the way you explain how you achieved the results. Great video.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks Tony

[@denisesavage2382]

Love that first image Simon - so beautiful and dreamy. A lovely simplicity in the complexity. Enjoy Switzerland! That will be a treat. Thank you for sharing with us the bird sounds, the deer - I've never seen or heard anything like it! I do enjoy your wanderings and the gentleness you manage to capture in each image. A great gift to us.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you so much Denise

[@derekskinner2048]

Thank you Simon. Love the close up images; not sure about the woodland scene?

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

I've had better but it's nice to break up the macro work and close-ups a little

[@michaelholbrook4401]

Dealing with harsh sunlight is the hardest part of where I’m at, here in the desert southwest of the US. Either that, or limit one’s timeframe to right at dawn or dusk. 😀

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

It's a case of working with the constraints I suppose. It's that time of year for us at the moment.

[@laurataylor8919]

The close ups are so dreamy. Beautiful composition and effects give me something to aim at. I so enjoy your videos with your knowledge of nature that you share with us. Thank you.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks Laura

[@loufigueroa304]

As always, I throughly enjoyed this video. Simplicity is the key to your photography. Thank you for making them. Can't wait for next week's video.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Hope you enjoyed the next one?

[@tuftyhill]

Another fantastic 'film' Simon and once again your natural history knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I was a keen birdwatcher so guessed the hole that you found was the work of a Nuthatch so I'm glad that you confirmed it. 😊

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

I was amazed to find it so close to the ground.

[@davidskinner274]

Lovely work and explanation, Simon

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Many thanks!

[@yingdong8580]

These images are so elegantly beautiful Simon! Love your videos as always! Very much appreciate your efforts and thoughts that you put into your each video!!! Best regards from down under!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks for taking the time to write a comment. Cheers

[@sorinmarcian967]

Wonderful composition - that is the first one you're sharing. Even if that would be the only one, I'm already blown away. Brilliant and delicate photograph, Simon ! Now allow me please to go back and watch the rest of the film.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Hope the rest of the film was half decent. I fear that first image was an early peak.

[@Berry_N]

💕

[@jasonatack1567]

Fantastic video mate, especially love the first image, love to see how you edited this, so dreamy

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

It was a fairly straightforward edit Jason. Mostly global adjustments and nothing really worth making a video about. The lens must take all the credit/

[@jorgeramirez1450]

Simon, these images are beautiful and inspiring. Make me want to go out and shoot. Thank you for sharing your talent. Follow up videos on how you process your images are always welcome and never get old. All the best to you!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you for that. I may do a processing one in the future.

[@philiplee9283]

Beautiful photography with a calm didactic approach that is attuned to nature. Very nice. Thanks Simon!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Many thanks Philip.

[@janepordon7939]

And yet another great video to give us all Im sure inspiration to go out and do the same type of thing. What tripod were you using? Enjoy your holiday.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

It's a Kingjoy C85. there's an affiliate link in the description below.

[@siofna9709]

Hello Simon Lovely woodland and nice images. Like the last one. Was interesting to see, how you had taken this picture. By the way, have you no problem with ticks there? Have a nice time :-).

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you. We don't get many ticks at this location or in my local area for that matter.

[@jillbaxter4533]

Thank you Simon; we get beautiful images (I especially liked the first and last) and information about your surroundings, your composition and the wildlife. I don't think I've ever heard Roe deer barking - first for me! I'm now chilled for the rest of the day. Take care Simon.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Many thanks Jill.

[@tompetersphotography]

Halfway through buddy, loved both shots so far! Great knowledge of the little whole

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Cheers Tom. As per usual, nearly a month late on my comments

[@charlesfarnell1127]

Yet again Simon a most inspirational session. I particularly like your technique of soft focus through the vegetion which I have not quite mastered yet but will persevere. Thank you.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

It takes a bit of time but it comes with practice Charles

[@paulmitchell8462]

Once again a stunning set of images, your films are a real inspiration Simon please keep them coming.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thanks for watching Paul and taking the time to leave a comment.

[@noelmasterson3646]

Seemingly effortless, beautiful images. I too have attempted to shoot through vegetation and it is not as easy to get a good balance as you make it look. Great stuff

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

I find the hardest part is staying crouched in one position for ages while I work out a decent frame.

[@f4.therapy]

Stunning images Simon, your a constant inspiration 👍

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Many thanks for that. Cheers

[@tompetersphotography]

Lovely job bud! Such quality content as always

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Cheers Tom 🙏

[@albertphillips447]

I get it now, if you drive in Reverse, you are using bonus electrons, right?

[@alanevans9246]

Simon, the first image in the series is absolutely stunning. One question though, do you think a little more separation between the top bud and the frame would balance this a little better. I would appreciate your thoughts here? As alway love you work and content…. Keep snapping!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Yes, I agree 100% but I couldn’t get it. The bottom flower becomes too tight and if you move back, the effect of the OOF blue is lost. It’s a slight compromise but we’ll spotted. I did think of adding some to the top with the new PS AI but that’s just cheating.

[@AhmetElhann]

Hello Simon, I just love your calm and kind approach to your subject. The more I watch your videoes the more I find myself logging for a macro lens. Do you have any lens suggestion for my Fuji xt3?

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Hello Ahmet. I don't have any knowledge on lenses really. My best tip would be to get a 100mm full frame equivalent. Avoid 50mm macro's

[@AhmetElhann]

@@SimonBoothPhotography Ok, I'm gonna take a look at the options. Thank you very much.

[@matsfotografi]

Great video as per usual! I liked the graphics when you explained your thoughts on the composition of the 16:9 image, simple and to the point! About the barking roe deer, I think they are less like Bambi than we give them credit for. I was out in my forest for a shoot at sunrise the other day. As I was waiting for the light I felt the urge to do as nature intended against a tree. The roe deer waited patiently until I "got into it" before he started barking like mad maybe 50 meters in front of me... I managed to hold it all together, but next time I'll bring an extra set of underwear😂

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Brilliant story 😂. They don't half make you jump!

[@carlarivas1238]

Hello Simon - I appreciate everything I learn from you. Hearing the Roe deer vocalizing and all of the birds was such a treat. And then there are your images - all so vibrant with the intensity of Spring colors. Brilliant work. Thanks for sharing. Carla

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

Thank you so much Carla

[@DaveKingMusic]

What was that animal at the beginning?

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

It was the lovely roe deer Dave

[@bertonsierens861]

talk about bokeh in your first picture ... wow
