Wow the forests over there look amazing! You keep photographing what makes you happy and don't worry too much about what other people want to see! There are plenty of other photographers they can subscribe to. Stay true to yourself. Love your work.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks for the words of support Stephanie

[@Westmoreland348]

Enjoy the autumn while it lasts Henry , the mountains will look far better once the winter comes anyway! We all forget things when we go on shoots, Batteries , cards, Sometimes even a camera!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers Simon!

[@TheAndyMaan]

Dont worry too much about making videos just for your viewers. I would much rather see you producing videos about something your truly enjoying rather than forcing yourself to go to places just so people dont get bored. Keep up the great work Henry, it also helps that all I really have around where I live if interest to shoot is woodland so I'm finding the tips and inspiration very useful 👍

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Very true mate, great words - and thanks for the support.

[@CatchavistaAerial]

Love the colours in the second image! Great video/vlog..enjoyed! Look forwards to more. Thanks!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Great video, you can't beat local woodland for photography, love it. very nice images, thanks for sharing.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot John

[@philipculbertson55]

I far, far, far prefer woodland to vistas so I really appreciate the focus on woodlands for awhile.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers Philip

[@jamesewer5586]

Given that I am not likely to visit the Alps any time soon, I much prefer vlogs I can relate to. Local woodland shoots are exactly what I'm after. Keep them coming Henry!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers James

[@hermilioquintana9178]

Hi Henry, liked the second image. It's great to be out in the woods and taking pictures it is just a added bonus. Keep those videos coming. Thanks for sharing.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thank you very much Hermilio

[@donhuff3795]

Bavaria is a fantastic place for photography. I look forward too your vlogs as you explore and photograph this beautiful part of Germany. You might want too have an extra card or two in your bag, it's saved me more than once.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks Don

[@jameslane3846]

You should always check for the memory card Henry!! I always check if my camera bag and cameras have film inside and which so I don't go out empty or the wrong film!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Yep! Cheers mate

[@genix79]

You mention at the start about travel to and photography of the big scenic places. Everyone likes seeing those stunning vistas, but I just want to mention that I really appreciate your woodland photography because its much more similar to what I am typically able to photograph. Its nice to see you finding the compositions in the ordinary because it inspires me to go find that beauty in the ordinary. So if you do head to the Alps or somewhere, that'd be fantastic too but I'd also be very happy to see more videos like this.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated!

[@jefffiles9209]

Here here! Do what make you happy Henry.

[@robslusarphotography]

You should always shoot what makes you feel good. These are as interesting as your landscape stuff.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot Rob

[@rustinggently]

I support the views wisely expressed here..shoot for yourself not what you think others want. I would add thats it's also good to leave your comfort zone occasionally, for example I would love to see some urban landscape images of Munich. Night, day or both...go for it! Oh.. and great video too!!!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks very much! Yes I'm often considering trying something different like that.

[@TheOutdoorswithTonyNoble]

Two in one week - brilliant! Keep doing what your doing and the channel will look after itself - keep 'em coming - T 🙂

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot Tony, much appreciated.

[@FabrizioZago]

I like the last image, the vertical one with that little tree, great colours and pleasing composition!

[@PMCN53]

I love the 2nd image Henry, beautiful composition & tonal contrast. Cheers.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thank you very much Phil

[@christian.irmler]

I had to smile as you mentioned your forgotten rain jacket: As I started my vlog about landscape photography, I got clear with the point, that everyone will recognize when I forgot something at home or do mistakes out there. Nobody would recognize if I'd only post a photo on instagram. That's really a difference :) By the way: Really a great video and I love your photos, Henry!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks Christian!

[@davidellinsworth22]

Another great video, and two lovely images. One thing I will say, I'd have left the Polarizer off for the first image. If the sole reason for using it was for colour vibrance and the other effects of polarization were unwanted, just increase vibrance in post.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers David

[@adamcooper7936]

Good video mate. It’s nice to see the beard coming on as well as the photography. 👍🏻🧔🏻

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot Adam!!

[@adamcooper7936]

Henry Turner I’m just jealous mate. 👍🏻

[@jefffiles9209]

Photograph for you and what makes you happy, it will show in your work. Of course the Grand scenes are wonderful. But we can't all do those, if you do go remember your other memory card ;-) Nice images btw, take care Matey

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks for the words of support Jeff.

[@ShaunM-xw1em]

Hi Henry, always enjoy your videos. I think the young tree is a beech (Fagus Sylvatica)

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks so much for that, I’m trying to improve my tree knowledge!

[@a.beckwith4576]

Ohh I enjoyed that I live opposite a small wood and although I have taken photos for years in there I was interested and inspired by your video. Thanks

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks for watching - really glad you enjoyed!

[@carlafoley3342]

Love me some woodland photography, living in London I am a lot nearer woodland than I am the big vistas.......your videos inspire me to grab the camera and get out :)

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks Carla, really glad I can inspire!

[@ashstubbings2603]

Just watching some of your older videos mate, from back before I was even a subscriber!

[@cdduffy]

Woods are one of my favourite things when out walking I just cannot resist it, but I've never really gone into one for photography purposes. Good shots bud 💪

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Yes I think that it’s that initial enjoyment and connection that makes it enjoyable for me to photograph them! Thanks a lot mate

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

Hello Henry really really amazing photos And beautiful colors 👌🏻👌🏻

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks Ariel

[@patrickmarshall15]

Nice video and pics. Must get to Perlach Forst when I am over there, looks a stunning place. Kennedy's in Sendlinger Tor is a great watering hole. FYI !!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot Patrick - and cheers for the recommendation!

[@goateyephotography808]

Henry, please! You can't tease a video like this! Now I can't wait for the next one. 🤣👍

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers Julian!

[@Happy_Snapper]

Thanks Henry!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers for the support Paul

[@Prigoda49]

Henry, what camera you used before d7200 ? Thanks.... thanks for the video! Inspired!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot. First game the Nikon D3100

[@Prigoda49]

Henry Turner , thank you 🙏

[@thomassteventon2088]

Nice one Henry

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers Thomas.

[@TimberGeek]

You'll not see me arguing against woodland photography. ;-D I've developed a habit of leaving the compartment door open when a memory card or battery is out of the camera.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Probably a good idea...

[@jefnatuurfilmer]

Nice picture

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks Jef

[@bulgiriri]

I have a question but most related to video making. Are you doing colour grading for your videos especially in the forests?

[@timelord2222]

You're not afraid of the rain drops on your lens barrel?

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers for the comment. No it’s never bothered me. Perhaps my outlook will change when something breaks one day!

[@janm2473]

Beautiful compositions, Henry... Good news coming?? You getting married? haha!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Not quite haha. Thanks for watching

[@jwdsnapper]

Love it, spoiled for choice at this time of year for autumn colour. Some great tips again. Thanks.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Absolutely true James. Thanks for the comment.

[@AceHardy]

[@michaelberg507]

Why would you purposely underexpose an image if you are shooting RAW? I can understand if it was a case of keeping highlights from blowing out, but this did not appear to be the case for your second shot. The camera feeds on light - as much as it can get - so, take advantage of that. You can always sculpt your histogram in LR. I love having a good wander around the woods, too. Cheers.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks for the comment Michael. It was one of those situations when I knew already that I'd be decreasing the shadows in LR - so to underexpose out on location meant I could get a better idea of how the final (post processed) image would look. I also love deep shadows. What you said though, is technically right, for sure. Thanks again mate.

[@hanswi336]

From landscape to woodland to macro - just a small step ??? Who knows?

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Haha yes, that would be next on the agenda in theory
