Stunning shots and really enjoy watching your videos! Really well done.

That snow scene is simply stunning.

[@carlarivas1238]

Hello Simon - the contrast of that snow shot with the blank canvas that it is now is quite stark; although you did capture a beautiful image in that blank canvas. Beautiful work. Thanks for taking us along. Carla

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

The dead leaves image resonates deeply with me, reflecting so much about life - the journey we take, the purpose we seek, and how it all eventually culminates. It feels both philosophical and emotional, especially as it coincides with the loss of a family member. Thank you for sharing something so meaningful.

[@iaincphotography6051]

A touch of Wabi Sabi.

[@stuartvh4562]

Wow, what a difference the snow made to that first scene! Stunning. Really liked the second close-up too, the gold lines running through the leaf. Beautiful.

[@wimscheenen3535]

I love your snow shot. And it’s a beautiful woodland you were in. Especially when I compare it to the scruffy woodlands near me.

[@harjeetsingh9749]

Truly exceptional image of the snow trees, so good. Other 2 again very good but the dead leaves in that inky black is a dark shot showing life virtually at an end. You have real creative vision through blessed eye's.. 🙏🏽

[@lynnecliffe3056]

What can I say? It's all been said. Thank-you, Simon- a feast for the eyes!

@@lynnecliffe3056 thanks Lynne. I think the algorithm still likes a few words.

Perfect tree composition!!! Love it and your work is always inspiring! Cheers!

[@jumpingjohn280459]

Next time you want a ‘poor’ woodland photograph taking, just ask me to take it. I specialise in poor woodland shots! Your snow shot is magnificent!

[@brucehart706]

😂

[@jimpalmer5217]

Definitely like the snowy trees better than the non-snow version. Terrific images as always. Thank you.

[@iaincphotography6051]

Great shots Simon. 5 days in a café sounds like heaven lol.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

@@iaincphotography6051 it does doesn’t it. If only, but there’s a thought 🤔

[@BirdsandMore2376]

Outstanding three images and the music was perfect. Well done. My favorite was the snow coated tree trunks. Superb.

[@NorbreckAquatics]

Absolutely stunning images 🙂

[@durhamsnapper9426]

What a trio of excellence you are a very gifted individual and that winter woodland photo is more akin to a painting. The retake exercise was remarkable.

[@stevejenkins5362]

Thank you Simon for making and bringing us another inspiring video. Beautiful images as usual but the trees in the snow image is one to be very proud of - Awesome!

[@JohnCain-c5i]

Top Tier video Simon. Great images, and you knocked it out of the park with the music this time. Bravo!

[@jamesmonte3165]

Excellent video and beautiful images Simon.

[@neeravnaik]

Sometimes you get lucky with conditions and sometimes you make your luck. The last image is down to your creative vision!!

[@RandyPollock]

(ebook bought) nice images as always!

[@kev2b3]

Learning so much from your excellent videos Simon. Thank you.

[@charliethebubbles]

Well captured images.

[@annettethomas5781]

What can I say all three images are absolutely amazing, the detail is superb. Couldn’t choose a favourite I would have every one of them on my wall. Quite envious and looking forward to the next video.

[@billbaker4970]

Beautiful work Simon love it

[@garytuck5297]

Great video and amazing photography as usual Simon, hope you are enjoying your new camera.

[@noname123-y8j]

Image at 8:47 outstanding, but so are all the images! Stunning work. Enjoying your channel and content!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Lovely video Simon and good to see ya out and about with the new camera. Have you done a proper reveal on this and the lenses you are using. I may have missed it. Love your images here and the last dark, oily looking one is incredible. Love it. Regards Ewan

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

No, I didn’t do a reveal. I don’t like to focus on gear on here. I discussed my thoughts before I switched in a video but thats about it. Glad you liked that image. A few have gravitated towards that one. Cheers buddy.

[@danevarkevisser4670]

Simon, good video once again and some lovely images too. What I am struck by in this video is how different woodlands are in your part of the world. I live in SE Australia and typically what you find here in any forest or woodland is a significant understorey of small trees and shrubs, if not forbs and grasses. What strikes me in the first location you show in this video is the almost complete absence of understorey vegetation. Is that natural or is it being kept clear by grazing animals?

[@steveh1273]

Nice work!

[@drew6413]

No wonder you wanted to retake the gorgeous snow scene. Without the snow, a non event. Another lesson masterful photography.

[@Stop-All-War]

📸 Simon, good your able to be out in most Weather. •Small Umberella & Poncho, great combo. I do normally favour Wellies over boots unless incline or walking distance too much. •I find it easier when tripods upside down & gravity assists the shortening of legs. •Fingerless neoprene gloves work well.

[@glennhunt3595]

Yet again Simon you pull super images out of what at first seems a hard going environment, find this type of photography very absorbing, think just a little more guidance is necessary on getting my eye in. So when funds allow hope to purchase your e - book about this fascinating area of photography. As usual a very interesting and instructive video. 👍

[@alexelley6283]

I purchased your e book, and would have gladly paid double or more for a hard copy, you never fail to deliver a good video. The Hasselblad camera, well I hope that you got it as a free gift from the company, and that you did not buy it with your own money, Going back to your video, the snow scene was beautiful. Hopefully from watching your videos I am slowly 'Learning to See' thank you for sharing.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

@@alexelley6283 Hi Alex. Thanks for buying the book. It’s generous people like you who help support the channel and ultimately paid for the camera which I did buy myself. Hasselblad don’t seem to value the quality that some of the smaller channels offer. They only seem to help those who need it the least in order to help themselves. I suppose thats business for you.

[@JamesReece271]

the snow shot reminded me of the hand drawn look of the 1980s the snowman movie by Raymond briggs

[@imagesbirds5066]

Love your oldschool jacket. Looks like you're rocking it for quite some time (in a good way). I hope you enjoy your new camera. Great video as always!

[@justkerry173]

What makes it 'old school'? It's just a jacket to me.

[@imagesbirds5066]

@@justkerry173 The colors have a real 90s vibe to me. But this might be personal.

[@michaellong9526]

Simon, with your penchant for precise framing I’m surprised you don’t use a geared head👍

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

I’m saving for a Cube as it happens Micheal

[@lachietod3918]

Great vid as usual, so, you went and bought the Hasselblad after all!!??? Thought you might do a vid of your new toy!! Keep up the great work.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

how are you finding the switch to the Hasselblad? I have to say the images look different to your Pentax, but the Pentax seemed to have a more organic look which some (myself included!!) might prefer. The Hasselblad ones look more detailed but also more clinical. As I said, it's a matter of taste and I prefer the older look. I shoot my images with either a modern Fujifilm X-H2 and ultra-sharp Laowa lens, or an old Nikon D700 and Nikon macro lens. While the Fuji images look stunning, there is just something about the Nikon ones (perfect imperfection maybe?) that makes me keep picking that camera and lens up!

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

@@duringthemeanwhilst in terms of how the images look. I’m not sure it’s possible to compare the look of an image fairly to one taken on a different camera unless it’s the same image shot on the two different cameras at the same and time in the same light. Even then you might process the two slightly differently. What I have adopted with the Hasselblad is I’m processing with Phocus rather than Lr. When I’ve tried to process with Lr alongside Phocus, I’ve preferred the version from Phocus every time. I do get what you mean with the look of the images prior to the switch but so far, I’ve yet to see a difference myself between the two.

[@killpop8255]

Wish my health was better and I had a car. You have a similar eye to me but I can't get to places like this.

[@SimonBoothPhotography]

@@killpop8255 it’s probably easy for me to say this but there’s a leaf squashed on the pavement that I pass most days thats just begging to be photographed. On this channel I created a wonderful image of two aspen leaves on the roof of a glass bus shelter. It sounds as though you’ve been dealt some bad cards but try not to let them create barriers for you. Images are at every corner.

[@killpop8255]

@@SimonBoothPhotography For the leaves and trees etc it's probability Simon. You have thousands of potentials in these places. I see more dog crap than nice little aspects around here. And the free-ness of your photography, as locally I'd get nervous about people 👀 , my gear 👀 and "I know where he lives". You are blessed doing what you do. Long may it continue for you. 🙏

[@neilcole3406]

Only you Simon could find a shot in the mud, but it works!

[@mikkiscott9995]

Beautiful images, Simon! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
