Awesome video mate! Really enjoyed it. Some stunning photos at the end. New sub from us👍🏻

[@LeePelling]

Thank you appreciate you watching and leaving a comment and for the sub ! I don't get out on a regular basis but I do enjoy the process of making a video of my time out with the camera

Morning Lee, I really liked the last Image you took not only a nice composition but nice light on the trees, I must admit I find woodland photography very difficult at times, but I suppose that's the whole idea to seek out an Image and get your brain working and although it wasn't an obvious image but you turned it into one, best wishes for 2025, regards, Colin.

@@sanclewphotographic thanks mate , yes woodland is a difficult genre but I find it especially difficult in kent , our woodlands are not great for that. No ancient oak woodlands or large areas of silver birch etc , but it all good practice I guess. Thanks for watching and happy new year to you too mate 👍

Think we need to talk about your stirring technique, everyone know you have to stir clockwise 😂 The wooden accommodation you came across was pretty cool. I liked the branch and the one with the guy and his dogs shots. Nice and calming 👍

[@LeePelling]

@@paulwbakerphotography lol I'm anti most things i guess lol. There were several of those outbuildings, I was talking to a local who said they were air raid shelters, all that remains of the original wooden accommodation is the concrete posts they sat on. The military still use the area for training, signs everywhere warning you of loud bangs and smoke grenades etc being used. Think the military are still on there break at moment but they have been increasing their training recently apparently. Not the best images today but was a nice walk in a new area so cant grumble. Hope your well mate.

@ all OK thanks. I’ve not been out for about two weeks but I will be out again soon hopefully. You did OK, it’s all about getting out

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

I did lichen the lichen image, Lee! Also the dog walkers on the S curve.

[@LeePelling]

@@AndrewWaltonPhotography thanks Andrew I did refrain from the whole lycen subscribe thing but it was so tempting lol, happy new year to you mate

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice video and photos towards the end of the video 🙂👍

[@LeePelling]

@@stigfloberghagenphotography thank you mate, nearly didn't put it out but I think it just shows you don't always get great images everytime you go out. Still good to get out and practice practice practice! Hope your well mate.

Nearby is Pillars Wood, again owned by MOD, but has no restrictions.

[@LeePelling]

@@gwpee1727 ah ok one to look up for future, thank you

[@AndrewHamiltonPhotography]

Always good to explore a new area Lee with or without the mist and good to challenge oneself with both the macro shots and the wider images. The dog walker and the inclusion of a human element worked really well. I managed to get out on the Friday and hopefully managed to bag a couple of good ones but the SD card still in the camera 😂 All the best for the New Year to you and the family !

[@LeePelling]

@@AndrewHamiltonPhotography thanks mate look forward to seeing what you got, happy new year to you and the family too mate 👍

[@Khurbanx]

I went here yesterday - as i was draw to the air-raid shelters , i found one you could get into :) was so cool

[@LeePelling]

@@Khurbanx thanks for watching, they certainly are interesting part of our history

[@andrewhall6105]

Hi Lee can I ask which camera bag do you use in this video... and have you done a gear review on what you use ... I would love to watch that. Cheers Andy

[@LeePelling]

@@andrewhall6105 Hi mate it's a Shimoda Action X50 bag with a medium insert, fantastic bag, and I have tried many ! I haven't done any gear reviews exactly just the filters I use etc from K&F .
