It's Called Nature

Something different from Iceland; More potential here. Lovely light. Reminds me of Natela Grigashvilli in Georgia. More please...good video and background music,

Awesome!!🔥 So fantastic shots!✨

[@olliewatts]

Thanks 😊

[@proach3]

Beautiful work! Any advice for what time of day we are more likely to encounter the fog?

[@olliewatts]

Many thanks 🙂 I went earlier in the morning and midday but I don’t think there’s a general rule. Best thing is to keep an eye on the weather forecast (I use Windy.com and look at the cloud cloud base and visibility)

[@mr.gratitude7594]

I'm not a landscape photographer but I love looking at them, even shooting them occasionally 😅 but it's just a love for nature itself. That location is dreamy and those trees are beautiful. Really lovely photos, nice work.

[@olliewatts]

It was an amazing location 😊

[@mikeabrenica5901]

Ollie, I absolutely love your work! May I ask you, what time of the year were you there in Madeira?

[@olliewatts]

Hi, many thanks - we were there the first week of October. A good time of year in my opinion - warm weather and not as busy 🙂

[@edoardodeluca1463]

Do you think early November will be good as well? Planning to go there next month

[@olliewatts]

@@edoardodeluca1463 Hi, I guess it depends on what you’ll be doing - for photography I reckon it’ll be good as you’ll get some more dramatic weather 😅 I would go but I don’t mind the cooler weather!

[@schoeferfilm]

Really awesome the Fanal Forrest Ollie👏 perfect memories at our Madeira trip of September 😀 I uploaded two short Madeira clips too 🎥 amazing island

[@olliewatts]

Thanks 😊 it’s an amazing place isn’t it

[@ticticboom1]

What time of day were you there? I am going in February, and worried it'll be overrun with tourists/photographers?

[@olliewatts]

Hi, during the day there were quite a few people but the area is big enough to find somewhere quieter - early morning is probably best if you want it to yourself 🙂

[@sunnyday157]

it seems to me one can easily get disoriented here and unless the fog clears, unable to find their car? Am I right?

[@olliewatts]

Yes easily done, I got lost on one occasion - fortunately there is phone reception so I could navigate back to the car park. Next time I’ll probably use Gaia GPS so I can track my walk and then retrace my steps easily.
