Welcome to my channel where I take you with me on my travels discovering places through landscape photography.
Photographing Gloucestershire, Epic Views, Rivers, Woods and Historic Docklands, Easy Accessibility
This is the benefit of shooting local!
In this video I visit the Forest of Dean's Symonds Yat, Gloucester Docks, and a unique local location.
I really do not do it enough, so I had the challenge of finding three local locations that are easy access to prove that I don't always have to travel far to get out with my camera. So it's off to the Forest of Dean and Gloucester City Centre to see what I can Photograph, a wide variety of subjects including rivers, woodland, historic docks and grand vista's!
Hopefully this will serve as inspiration for your next photography trip around your local area.
Join me, my Nikon Z7ii and my ropey old van on my Landscape Photography adventures as we explore.
You can find Paul's UA-cam channel here :- @paulwbakerphotography
Thanks!

With my Landscape photography, I, for the most part am reactionary. I turn up and deal with whatever is happening as it happens, but not on this occasion.

New to your channel Steve & have to say a very informative, well put together vlog. Liking your explanations of shots & your 'cheerful' vlogging style. Have subscribed & look forward to looking at your back catalogue...thank you 👍
Thank you for watching John, that's really nice to hear 👌
I like the color of the moss on the zigzags.
Yes it is very vibrant, it really did stand out 👍👍
Just wondering why you didn’t go to the wreck on the beach near the cliffs
Hi Stephen, thanks for watching, to be honest I didn't know it was there lol, but it is has been mentioned so something I definitely want to check out at a later date. 👍
Great video Steve nothing wrong with your woodland photography buddy and that last image of the crane was excellent! Hope you weren't late for work 😁
Cheers Dan 👌 I got there in time mate 😊 although I was tired for the rest of the day lol
Bless ya buddy 😅@RoamingPhotography
Don't be hard on yourself Steve. Think you came away with some good images after all those issues. Another enjoyable video mate 👍
Cheers Garry 👍 Ahh, just one of those days, came away with something I liked so it could have been worse lol
Great Shots. It was great being fortunate to have met you at Symonds Yat Rock.... I was the one with my dad taking photos at the viewing point lol. It was our first time visiting Symonds Yat Rock and agree it was a very accessible location cosndiering my dad is disable and uses a stick to get about it was a great view.
Thank you Pam, it was a pleasure to meet you guys to 👌 hope you got some shots you were happy with, and good luck with your adventures through Wales 👍👍
quite interesting ruins.
Yes, I do wonder what it would have been like in it's heyday 🤔
Great vid, love the images, I must try those ruins next time I'm in Norfolk. The windmill looks great too, but as you say, it's probably the only spot you can get those views from, but still worth while. Bet that's epic on a cold crisp morning with mist rising off the water.👌
Thank you Steve, yes I agree that would be amazing, not sure if the reeds die back giving a few more options, but definitely worth a re-visit 👍
@@RoamingPhotography I suspect they will die back, but, maybe not enough to get a better view. Don't try and venture out into them though, you're likely to get a very wet shock 🥶
🤣
Glad you had some decent weather up there, I spent a week in Snowdonia in July and the Welsh weather did it's upmost to be normal, wet and cloudy 😵💫 Another great video, like you I'm self taught and trying to get myself out there seems like a total nightmare with so many different platforms, groups etc. Maybe an idea for you is to do a vid of your journey to help others get on. Just a thought 👍
Thank you Steve, I think Wales is more dependant on the will of the Gods and not the time of year for its weather lol 🤣
Another great vid, so laid back 👍 I'm surprised you didn't try a pano on that crane, even handheld, would have been worth a quick pop 👌
Thanks Steve, very kind 👍 think my mid was focused on making sure I wasnt late for work, good reason to to return I reckon, especially as it is local 😊
Brilliant thank you 🙏
@jaynepainter9743 thank you Jayne 😊 so glad you enjoyed it 👍
It's a great idea shooting local. I keep saying that I'm going to spend more time exploring my 'local' area (prob within a 15m radius) and try and find locations that haven't been photographed before
Thanks Paul 👌 yes something I intend to address this Autumn, particularly as the Forest of Dean is on my doorstep 👍
absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much, it is a spectacular place a bucket list location for sure 😊
Just caught up in your adventure and you have captured some fantastic images and memories. Thanks for sharing the highs and lows of your travels.
Thank you for watching Karl 👌 it was my pleasure, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Very nice Steve, I might have to grab the location of the first image from you. I've visited that area many times in the past, family connections. Would love to visit some of the "free miners" sites at some point.
Cheers Colin 👌 if you want the reeds then it's getting the right time of year, I will check the time stamp when I get home and drop you a message mate 👍
Great shots mate, very enjoyable day thank you. Let’s do it again soon! Thanks
Thank you Paul, yes mate i need to finish what I started at Symonds Yat lol, let me know when you are off to Florida and we can sort something 👌
Some lovely easy access locations. Love the shots from Newnham colours are stunning. Also the shots from the Docks they really have a vintage feel to them 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 👍
Nice vid Steve and great photos. Unfortunately, time and tide wait for no one😀😀😀😀
Thanks Andy 👍 Yeah unfortunately that's me and King Canute!
Great video, interesting locations and superb photos 📸 Very inspiring. I've added your channel, always good to connect with other photography creators.
Thank you for watching, it's good to meet you to and thank you for your kind words 👍
The last shot is a stunner, worth persevering for. Entertaining vlog. Nice one👍
Thank you, so glad you liked it and thank you for watching 👍👍
Out of the B&W vs Colour I prefer the colour but can't decide between the two colour versions. Both look great
@@tuftyhill thanks Paul, I will admit the colour one is the one I prefer to, thank you for your input, much appreciated 👍
That sunrise image was stunning. I love the colour in the sky and the contrasting snow-covered mountains. I bet you're glad you stayed overnight.
@tuftyhill Thank you Paul, yes it worked out really well, I loved the pastel colours of that morning, beautiful location !👌
Good woek❤
@@1194pa thank you 👍
Loved the vid, makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only numpty who makes such simple mistakes 🤣 Seriously though, the tide there is lethal, comes in really quickly, but also is highly variable, some days it won't make it up the beach, so always needs checking. I've not yet found it myself, but around the cliffs there is supposed to be an old ship wreck buried in the sand that becomes visible at low tide, a search on here should give you some info, there was another photography channel that featured it.
Yeah I have those days lol 😆 Yes, I am going to look into the wreck as it does sound intriguing. I will be sure to check out the tides a bit more thoroughly too 😆😆
But mate, you did well considering the circumstances. I’d like the second photograph you showed and the last one the long exposure one. Quite nice. Keep going mate enjoyable as always.
Cheers Paul, yes I was happy with the last shot, made the day for me, apparently there is a ship wreck close by so I may get a chance to redeem myself yet 😀
Hi Steve, you didn't pronounce Hunstanton correctly it's apparently pronounced 'Hunstan' 🤔 😂 I visited this location a couple of years ago but struggled with the Groynes myself. I did however get a nice image near that cliff face with the boat wreck 'Sheraton' did you know about that? It was probably only another 5 mins walk from where you were. It's great for a lead in foreground interest. I actually prefer the colour long exposures myself but that last mono one was great
Ooh I thought I was golden with that pronunciation lol. I didn't know about the wreck, but certainly something I would like to check out, thanks 👍👍
need to check the height of high tide as well as the time!
Yes, that is good advice 👍
Hi matey well come to the east coast 😂😂😂 hope you have more luck at your next adventure where ever it is on the east coast 🤞 we all have days like that 😳 were you of to next …!
Hiya, thanks for watching 👍👍I am off this weekend somewhere, haven't decided where yet though, gonna let the wind that blows on Friday take me where it will lol 😊🤣
Really enjoy your videos keep them coming 👍 keep smiling 😂
@@spikeB2B Thanks man 👌 I really appreciate that 👊
I really liked the photos of the cliff, loved the colours. I prefer the black and white image of the groyne very moody. Loved the last shot. It's nice to see that things don't always go to plan. Great vlog 😊
They certainly don't lol, but my vlogs are my diaries and a record of my day, good bad or indifferent. What I see is what you get lol 😆 😂
Great video Steve love the images of the windmill very picturesque indeed, you take it easy buddy!
Thought I was watching the BBC for a while, thinking "Ay up, I've seen this one. It's a repeat". Never mind I enjoyed it just as much the second time round. 🤣 Guess I'd left the auto play turned on and hadn't noticed the switch. Lovely images Steve, who doesn't like old and rustic? 👍
Cheers Colin 👊 if you could do that for the rest of the vids mate lol. Exactly, the good lady wife says it's "character" (wait till she has to feed me through a straw 🤣🤣)
Im a fan of the Black and White version. I went to Scotland a few years back besides the incredible beauty of the land but what I found more incredible were the people. Even in the most tourist locations the Scottish people were happy, helpful and incredibly kind. Amazing place
Thank you Mark, I agree, a very friendly place to visit all round, I never had any bother for the whole time I was there. Lovely place and people 👍
The first 30 secs of this video made me a new subscriber. thanks for the laugh man!
Thank you Mark 👍 much appreciated, really glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video. I enjoyed your explanation. hope you are doing well and wish you the best thanks Peter Baltex
Thabk you Peter, so glad you enjoyed it and all the best to you as well Sir 👍
Nice one Steve. I stumbled on finding your channel after a tip off from someone who incidentally looked a bit like you at Cannock chase a few weeks back 😂. Anyway the last time Was diwn that area shooting cracks, I got into a bit of a brawl with two other photographers. Lovely images, mate and hope you didn't fill too many memery cards to get them. 😂😂
Thanks Colin 👌 Sounds like you bumped into a very intelligent good looking young fella with great taste 🤣🤣🤣 Hope you gave the other two what for mate lol 👊👊😵💫
Hi Steve, I agree Elgol is a stunning location but like the Fairy Pools visit we had poor light, it was dry but just a grey featureless sky. Yet another place to return to and I believe you can park overnight there 🤔
@tuftyhill hopefully some luck falls your way when you return 👍 there are signs that say no overnight parking, but a few stayed there when I was there, it was Feb so may be enforced in the busy months
@RoamingPhotography I don't stop where there are signs saying No Overnight Stays I know many do but obviously the signs are there for a reason 🤔 😊@@RoamingPhotography
We visited that location last year when we spent a week on Skye unfortunately we had heavy rain all day so I was struggling to get images under an umbrella. I do think lenses should have wipers on them that automatically clear the rain off between shots 😂 So that's another location I need to return to. You got some stunning photos 👍
Thanks mate, I agree wipers on the lens would be awesome 🤣🤣 Could do with some on my glasses as well 😁
😁
I got exactly the same shot 😂 I think that is THE only composition for Brograve Mill. I enjoyed visiting that area a couple of years ago but unfortunately a lot of the wind pumps were in a poor state or being repaired. Hopefully they'll be in a better state when I return maybe in a couple of years
😅😅 I'm thinking that it winter time when it has died back somewhat next time, with a frost would be good, Paul Baker mentioned you can access the other side, so that would be worth checking out to 👍
I used a drone to get over the reeds. Great vid mate, subbed
Cheers Dave 👌 Much appreciated, never think to get the drone out, would have been a good shout mate.
Very nice video and photos 🙂👍
Thank you Stig 👌👌
I really enjoyed that. I went to photograph from the other side of the bank and could get to it I think the shots you got of it were brilliant, lovely reflections looked fab. Great vlog mate. Hope you get the viewings it deserves.
Thanks Paul 👍👍 If I get to go there again then that will be worth checking out, I got directions from the kind National Trust lady, I would like to get it with a frost I think 👌👌
Love the ruins, I was not expecting that. The images of the windmill are wonderful, I love the reflection and the colours 😊
@user-lf2tj9lj7v thank you , I wasn't expecting much from the church photographically, but I wanted to check it out anyway 😁
Glad you had a great time over that weekend with us and it was great to revisit it back on your vlog! 😊 #weekendvibes #vloglife some stunners there as well!!! Hopefully see you soon!!! 😎📸
Yes, thank you Marta, hope you guys are well, there was some lovely light on the mountains that evening, beatiful place!
Loved the vid, done that walk a few times and got nothing from it, usually birding though. If you go again, use the RSPB car park, it's a lot closer to the old jetty, and the wall. You can get some great sunsets there looking across the Wash and you can often see Lincolnshire on the horizon, and it's especially good when the wading birds are pushed up off the mud on very high tides, they silhouette against the orange sky, often making all sorts of shapes as they fly around in flocks of hundreds and sometimes thousands to a flock. You are a braver man than me though going on that mud, the tide will come in in a blink of an eye and you don't want to be stuck out there.
Thank you for watching Steve 👍 yes I understand there is quite the display of birds, certainly something to think about when I go back. I did see the rspb car park but was advised vans aren't allowed, especially as I have a high top. Hopefully you can confirm it for me? I got to admit I didn't venture to far from the shore lol, although I was more worried about sinking 😅
@@RoamingPhotography not sure about the hight restriction, you may well be right though, I've never noticed but best I do as I'm likely to be in a van myself next time I visit. Probably best to contact the RSPB, maybe at Titchwell as Snettisham isn't a manned reserve. Re the waders, the spectacular, as it's called, only happens on very high tides, if my memory is correct it's tides over 7m, but there is a predicted table on the RSPB Snettisham website. It does get very busy indeed, but worth the effort. Morning the sun shines on the birds and they change from silver to black as they turn and it makes a starling murmuration look ok, and against a sunset they are silhouetted. Don't go on a normal high tide as you'll end up walking all that way and looking at mud as the tide comes in and out miles away, I know from bitter experience 🙄🤣Look forward to seeing more of your vids 👍👍
@southernsteve1 thanks Steve 👍
Steve that grass around the jetty is actually Samphire , you can eat it. I love it there especially when there is a spectacular and the waders mermerate behind the jetty.
Yes I ahve sonce found out is was Samphire lol the lady at the campsite we stayed on said people travel far to see the murmurations, sounds like it is an amazing site. Thank you for watching 👌
It really is a stunning location and one that I finally managed to visit earlier this year as we headed up to Lewis and Harris. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't great when I was there but still great to see it in flesh. You were treated to some great light
@tuftyhill your not wrong it is stunning! And I did get lucky with the light, this is one of those locations that you never forget visiting due to its pure epicness 👌
Another great video Steve. At first I thought you were at Dungeoness! Enjoyed the detail photos. Shame about about the boundaries but enjoyed the detail shots.
Cheers Andy 👍 yeah a bit of bad timing there mate lol, still it's one for returning to 😎
That brought back many happy memories. What a stunning location it is, unfortunately when myself and my wife visited it was a very sunny day so there was no atmosphere, it was still a fantastic visit but one to return in different conditions. I love the images you captured with the low cloud, very nice
Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed it 👍 yes it's an amazing place hopefully you get to return soon. I was the reverse of yourselves, Scotland in February, so moody was always going to be on the cards it was more a case of whether I would get some sun to go with it lol
Fantastic images from a location that I wasn't able to visit when I was in Dorset last year due to it being a long drive from my camp site in the East of the county and the tides were not favourable. I love the image that you don't like and let's face it, the new Gen AI tool is there to be used, it is a shame about the hillside looking different but I'm sure a few attempts and Gen AI would replace it perfectly
Thanks Paul 👍 Yeah I get it, I just cant look at it without thinking "ha, that's the one you messed up!", I may revisit it at some point and do a better job on the removals, as I did love the light and comp on that one. I think we are more critical of ourselves than others when you are doing what you enjoy, human nature I suppose 😳
Hi, it was great to meet you at Cannock Chase the other week on the Thumbs up meet up. I was already subscribed to your channel that's why I recognised you but couldn't remember where from 😊 I had the same issue at Snettisham when I visited in May a couple of years ago, right in the height of the breeding season so access was restricted and grass around the Groynes. To be honest I'm not sure if I actually took any photos of the old jetty. I did take a few images of areas of cracked mud but I'm not that happy with them. Does the grass disappear over the winter months do you know?
Hi Paul, it was good to meet you to, enjoyed that morning, looking forward to the next one 👍 I have just done some research and it is called Samphire (its edible!) apparently, and it grows prolifically on mud flats, so I googled "does coastal samphire grow all year?" and got this... "No, the UK season runs from approx June through to September. Outside of these months, samphire disappears, usually with the frosts in autumn." So hopefully it is a good winter shoot, but my googling isn't the best lol I usually end up with baked bean recipes. 🫤
@@RoamingPhotographyah that's great to know. If I'd known it was samphire I'd have dug some up 😊 it's really nice 😋 I've asked the Thumbs up team to try and sort another date out for the next meet because my calendar is getting quite busy through Sept - Nov as I'll be visiting Northumberland and the Peak District plus a few trips to the Lakes
@@tuftyhill hopefully see you there 👍
