Woodland Photography: Photographing Ancient Oak Trees in the Mist

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

It’s very late and I’m chilling to the gentle tones Sam and soothing music backed with stunning photography, then I hear my name and see an absolutely stunning triptych. I really enjoyed as always Sam. Thank you for the mention😍👍

[@BosePhotography]

Ah thank you very much Mali! It’s always nice to get a comment about my music 😉! Although it drives me mad personally, I need to record some more tracks at some point! 😁 I was very much inspired by your triptychs for this, it’s a great way of presenting multiple images and I think it worked really well, thank you for the inspiration!

Lovely vlog Sam, right up my street. Fabulous mood and relaxed atmosphere throughout. Cracking images too👍👍

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Ian! Conditions were just right, it was nice not to be rushed like I usually am! I’m hoping autumn isn’t too far round the corner now 👍. Thanks for watching! Sam

Very soothing to watch, love the shot at 5-45ish and the triptych works well.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Andrew, that image at 5:45 was my favourite too I think. I have to credit Mali Davies for the idea of doing a triptych, I thought it was a much better way of showcasing three very similar images! Sam.

Nice calm vlog, really like the mood you captured, The square crops work really well. Looking forward for your autumn vlog must be looking really good with the colouring of the leaves.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Hugo! Yes absolutely, autumn's not too far away now so I'm looking forward to being able to revisit when the leaves are in full colour. Thanks for watching, Sam.

Another great vlog Sam, I really do look forward to watching them! Stunning photos again! What a gorgeous woodland, you are so fortunate to live close to somewhere so beautiful. I just love the music too, it's so calming and it really adds so much to your vlogs, you are very talented Sam!! 😊

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Angie, and it's always nice to have a compliment on the music! I must record some more tracks at some point if I can find the time! S.

[@ramblinman77]

I really enjoyed this video Sam, and as always your images are excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Jim, I really enjoyed this morning of photography, it’s so nice when you can take the time and not be rushed! Thanks for watching.

[@davidpearce2981]

Thanks Sam. A very calming location

[@BosePhotography]

It's a great spot for a quick peaceful walk, especially when the conditions are like they were that morning! Thanks for watching David!

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

Nice vlog you captured some great woodland images there. The rain creates a fantastic atmospheric look. I always like to use my cpl in wet woodlands it brings out all the texture 👍

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Chris, yes absolutely, the CPL makes a huge difference when it's like this. Thanks for watching! Sam.

[@juliangreaves4727]

Sam...What beautiful conditions and absolutely gorgeous images! Just going for a section of the oak lost nothing of its character and added a sense of mystery. Great work my friend.

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Julian! I think I have probably obtained all of the compositions available now at this short stretch of woodland, so I'm looking forward to a change in the seasons. By the way, apologies again for the slow reply to your email, I did check your website since you updated it and it's looking great! ;) S

[@thevalleywalker]

Some cracking images Sam, fabulous conditions and you certainly made the best of them, think tyhe 1st image was my fave. I have been vsiiting some woodss locally of late but most, if not all are based on the side of a hill. That makes for not only having to put some effort in togetting them but trees are invariably poiting in weird directions - oh for a nice flat woodland..lol. Enjoyed this mate , thanks for sharing. atb Alan

[@BosePhotography]

Thanks Alan! I saw that tree that you posted on FB, looked amazing! It must be truly ancient. I think the climb was probably worth it, and who doesn't love a wonky tree?! We are a bit spoiled here though, I can see the wood where I made this video from my front door, although you can't access much of it so I think I've found most of the possible images here. Looking forward to Autumn though! S.

[@davidknowles5519]

The mist makes all the difference we’ve also had some great conditions for woodland shots near me, really pleased with how they came out. I love the last portrait image really shows the character of the tree.

[@BosePhotography]

Hi David, I just had to go and check your instagram, really like that image with the path running through the trees! The mist really does make a huge difference, it was nice that it stayed around on this morning so I wasn't too rushed! Thanks for watching, Sam.

[@davidknowles5519]

Sam and Hannah Bose Photography thanks Sam your feedback means a lot hope you and Hannah have a great week

[@BosePhotography]

Thanks David, you too!

[@steverich_photography]

Very nice video Sam, thank you

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Steve! S.

[@JamieOverland]

Lovely conditions there Sam, and you made the most of them. Love the SQ crop and the tryptich works well too. Autumn seems just round the corner now so I’m really looking forward to the next few months photography 👍

[@BosePhotography]

Thanks Jamie, yes me too! I think I've done all the three compositions in this short bit of woodland to death now so I'm looking forward to having a change in the leaves soon!

[@robertjackson3039]

Conditions look perfect, I like to head to the forest when it rains.

[@BosePhotography]

Thanks Robert, conditions really were perfect that morning! The colours are just starting to turn now too so I'm hoping I'll get back out there again this weekend! S.

[@Kate39813]

Great vlog as always

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much Kate! S.

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

That looked like a great misty morning. I also like looking through the eyepiece to frame up compositions, that could be from having a DSLR for so long without an LCD screen that was the only option - I now have the EOS R but still prefer looking through the eye piece.

[@BosePhotography]

Thanks Russ, yes I definitely prefer using the eyepiece, I find it much easier to cut everything else out of my periphery vision and form the image without any distractions. I think I have a bit of a thing against staring at digital screens as well! We're likely to be upgrading to a mirrorless camera ourselves soon though so I hope I will be able to get used to an EVF quickly. I've looked through a friend's EOS-R and I liked it a lot so I'm sure it will be fine! Sam.

[@marktaylor9579]

Lovely vlog and, and a great tryptych, I also love the music, could you tell me what it is please?

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Mark, thank you very much, the music is actually my own, so it's always nice to receive some good feedback on it! Music was my main 'expensive' hobby before we took up photography! I have a few tracks that I have recorded specifically to use as backing to the videos so I'm afraid they aren't published anywhere else, but perhaps I will get around to doing something with them at some point. S.

[@kumarratnesh9191]

Beautiful

[@BosePhotography]

Thank you very much!

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Big fan of the square crop :) Where is Hannah and the wildlife though 😁

[@BosePhotography]

Haha, thanks Joe! Hannah was just criticising me as I've suggested one of her square crops would work better as a 4x5 in the past and then I went and filled my video with them! I think she was busy at work actually when I made this! 😁

[@supermario1982171]

Do you guy's have a Instagram

[@BosePhotography]

Hi Mario, thanks for asking! We do, mine is instagram.com/samjbose and Hannah's is instagram.com/hannah.bose . Thank you for reminding me to add these to the description! ;) Sam.
