Well! That was worth waiting a whole week to watch this video! Who knew dew on grass could be so beautiful? What an artist! Thanks Kim!
Glad you enjoyed it Diane
Another lovely video Kim . Thank you .
Absolutely loved the abstract bokeh dew - one dew drop even had a rainbow within it. Awesome Kim ❣️. Thank you
Great insight to what’s around us, some superb image composition
Well done, Kim!
I love how some weeks ago you said you weren’t interested in typical landscapes anymore. Having unshackled yourself from the norms and rules of landscape photography, you are on a new trajectory of discovery. And now your landscapes are much fresher, with loads of room for growth in many different directions.
Thank you for your thoughts Pete! I am very much enjoying trying new things and seeing beauty in the smallest of things
Agreed Kim. All you really need, is to see it!
Stunning photos Kim.
Thank you John
Beautiful nothing more to say just beautiful 📷🙏
Grass and bokeh - perfect!
Great video Kim, loving the dew drop images. You have inspired me to go out and try it.
Great to hear Michele! Enjoy 😊
Great inspiration. Thank you. ... Bob
Thank you!
Nice video Kim.
So beautiful. Good morning from Miami, Florida.
Very glad you decided to dedicate a video to the dewy grasses. Your experiments with the things you encounter is creating an impressive body of work. Thanks for sharing, and may you have a safe inspiring week.
Thank you very much!
What a stunning video! You could feel your excitement and energy lifting with the sun. Those dewdrop images were sublime! Especially the rainbow one. We really don't need to travel far to see beauty if we just open our hearts to it ❤
Beautiful words May and so very true!
Good morning Kim. For once I have no words, apart from simply stunning and that mother nature provides us with so much beauty that we sometimes take for granted. Have a great day and a wonderful week as well. Simply stunning!!
Beautiful words Joe. Thank you!
Beautiful Kim! 👏😍 Love these kinds of ‘findings’. I’ve tried something similar in the past but not since having a mirror less camera and you’ve definitely inspired me to have another go, thank you. 👍 I spent a gorgeous misty pink morning on Friday trying and failing to get to a certain location and knew that if I’d just gone for a local walk, I’d have found some images and had a much better start to the day than merely finding road closures and running out of time!! Just getting out in magical nature is what’s important! 💚
Lovely to hear these videos are inspiring you to try photographing this style of images again. Doing this certainly open sup so ma y new opportunities!
Great video, thank you for showing me new ways to " see" opportunities, the grass looked amazing , I really liked the portrait orientation single stem at approx. 4.45 on the video .
Only found you on UA-cam a couple of weeks ago , but glad I did. Love the content.
Thank you very much Paul! I'm delighted that you're enjoying the videos
Well done Kim, as you said in one of your previous videos, one can look or see in photography. The shot of the flower and spider web is amazing. Thanks for a great start to my sunday.
Have a blessed and safe week.
Thank you - you too!
Thanks for sharing
Very nice images
Were the images taken in the morning? 😊
Like.Thanks. Beautiful.❤😊🐆
I really like your discovery. I try to be open to serendipity..
“Let’s not see the barriers, but the opportunities.” There’s beauty all around us, and your message about that is so powerful and inspiring me to really see instead of look. Thanks, Kim.
Its the same as" being observant and aware what's around you !"
Lovely quote Marga! Delighted you're finding the videos inspiring.
Beautiful photos
I bought that lens for its zoom range to shoot at Yellowstone but found that it focuses very close for a long zoom.
try photographing spider webs with dew drops on them, amazing.
They sure are! Amazing subject to photograph
"Being able to see the world in a new light" is so right, Kim. No wonder you were so excited! Wonderful opportunities, indeed!
Your message in every video always inspires me. Your images and new techniques to connect with the little things around us excites me. Incredible video ❤
This is so lovely to hear! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊 Delighted these videos are inspiring you
Very nice abstract’ish images. Especially when considered in a group of various views of the same subject(s). Worth printing and displaying as a group of several.
These photos are stunning. Beautiful discovery.🌟
Beautiful morning light. Magical droplets look like diamonds in the sun. ✨🌟
It's amazing. You really inspires me. Thank you so much
Great video Kim, absolutely love these early morning dew shots, fleeting moments as the sun rises and burns them all away. 👏🏻
Awesome video Kim! Thank you! (P.S. You have a spot on either your lens or sensor on the top left.)
That was absolutely inspiring!
Lots of wall art contained in this one Kim. Well done.
Just beautiful, Kim. Well done to you, hand held with a long lens and a breeze, not easy.
Beautiful images Kim, have got to get out and try this, well spotted
Stunning you are so inspiring for me to try and create similar images but not as good as yours I’m just starting out 😊
What a lovely video to start the day with. Nature is truly wondrous if only we take the time to stop and look.
What a beautiful place to live and photograph!
How lovely Kim, you're noticing and connecting with the things that most would pass by. Thank you for sharing with us 😊
I love the how you see life, and share with us, thank you.
Thanks Kim another great idea ❤
Would your "Bokeh Balls" pass the Kia and Lok "Bokeh Balls" test?🤣🤣
For me a similar memorable moment is seeing or even capturing a summer's sunset backlighting a field of insects on the wing, or even airborne pollen. Its a rare magical fleeting moment to enjoy.
From a selfish personal viewpoint, the "Backlit Images" of flowers with abstract dew and grasses are some of your best images this year.
Can't wait to see what you get up to, with the autumnal early morning mists which are popping up at the moment. I've seen a few ethereal landscapes while driving back to station at the end of my night shifts this month.
Great to read that you liked these I ages Frank. Looking forward to enjoy autumn
Wow - stunning images Kim!
You were right to excite us forward to this video - the morning dew was magical!
Do you film your videos in 4k?
Loved the colours in the photos and your choice of music for this video just really resonated with me I felt immersed in the micro landscape you were in. I also felt the excitement in your voice. The joy of being outside and giving full reign to your creativity.
This is so lovely to hear Daryl! I'm delighted the videos resonated with you
Beautiful as always.
Thank you so much for this video. I love your slow pace, deliberate and contemplative. Your style of photography is amazing and inspiring to me. I am only now learning photography and am learning from some of the best, like you! Be encouraged. You are surely making a name as one of the best UA-camrs in this field.
Thank you June. Your words mean a lot and are greatly appreciated
You're looking comfy basking in the morning sunshine. That helps with your great delivery.
Thanks Dennis! It was a lovely morning
Thank you Kim for presenting beautiful photographic opportunities right under our nose.
You're welcome Steven. Delighted that you're still enjoying them 😊
Thanks Kim, great video with some beautiful images, very inspiring. I remember when I first created some dew drop images unintentionally, whilst photographing butterflies! Now I'm always looking to create images of butterflies that include a little creative touch. Whether that's using the light, textures or colour to add a little something. You can't beat those beautiful early mornings 😍
Lovely! So good to hear you look for these things. They can add so much more to your images and give us more enjoyment when creating too.
Beautiful
Some amazing images Kim! I don’t know if you’ve ever created a book, but if you haven’t, I think you should seriously consider publishing one with your photos. 👏
I've been thinking about this a lot recently Travis. May be next year's project 😊
Wonderful images, Kim !!!! I love how the blades of grass, create nice sharp lines, through some of the orbs of light.
Thank you Mark!
I watch several UA-cam photography channels and am often inspired by various "discoveries" made by the host. Even when I've shot photos in similar settings. But what I really enjoy is the enthusiasm some people share, from the simplest things. You and Henry Turner are my favorites! I've always had an interest in photography as a hobby. Since I've recently retired, I've been able to spend lots more time at it. What you often say about there being opportunities all around you, wherever you live, is so true. Just a few days ago, a moth landed near me on the deck where I was sitting. Oddly, he just sat there so I went into the house to get my camera and my new 90mm macro lens to see if I could get a shot. Remarkably, he just sat there while I took several photos. When I decided I had enough, he flew away. The rewards of photography are so great. Keep up the good work and keep making inspiring videos. Thanks, Kim.
What a lovely comment Frank! Your moment with the moth sounds so lovely. How great to have been able to connect with her like that. Thank you for your kind words and for sharing
Beautifully seen and executed! It's a truly priceless photographic conditions! Could I ask you a technical question of the photos? Why f/9 was your choice for closeups, not a wide aperturture, which usually using for dreamy feel and faster shoot to avoide shake, any benefits with f9?
Thank you! Honest answer - settings are the last thing I consider when I'm creating images. I simply play around with them and see how the images turn out. In this case though, the grasses and dew drops worked best at f9 as I was able to get a good mix of them in focus and out of focus. When I tried a smaller f stop, there was very little of the image in focus and the effect wasn't as good. I've learnt over the years that there's many ways to create an image.
Such a simple and innocuous subject, is turned into an exciting and interesting point of view, not often, if ever, considered. great inspiration for those struggling to think of something to photograph, that is easily available to most really, and of any ability. Thanks again Kim, it wasn't what I was expecting, I didn't know what to expect really, but what a slant on what to take photographs of, your excitement was evident, and rightly so - this will do a lot, for a lot of people. But such a simple subject matter, and great photos turn out of it. Roll on next Sunday.
Thank you very much for these kind words! Very good to hear that you enjoyed the video and how I see the world.
Wonderful observations Kim - I spend more time and make more exposures in my patio garden these days because I find something new and interesting there everyday. Just be present and still, look and listen and you'd be amazed at what you'll find. Thanks for all you do!
This is wonderful to hear John! Just shows we have opportunities at our doors.
Kim, not only are you an amazing photographer; you’re also a talented artist. Thanks for sharing this video. Looking forward to your next video. Question what camera and mic do you use to film your videos?
Thank you very much! I use the Nikon Z6 to film my videos with the Rode wireless mic
Nice
It's a very special and exciting feeling when we discover a new photo opportunity in nature. Your images are just stunning, Kim. I had a similar experience this week when I woke up to a rare misty morning to find my gate covered in beautiful spider webs. I tried to get some images but they were so delicate that it was difficult. However, I still got to appreciate their beauty and was glad to be out early enough to see them.
Have a great week Kim.
This sounds so beautiful Mary! I am very much looking forward to photographing the morning dew on spider webs too this season. They are so beautiful!
Thank you once again Kim for being you. I completely agree with you, I too do this as I'm held down by work and home restraints so i tend to look at the little details. Luckily I live on a hobby farm in the Flinders Ranges and have an awesome drive to work, chances to take good photos. Look forward to next video x
Thank you Lisa! It's so lovely to be open to seeing the small details.
Hi Kim thank you for sharing your lovely location and beautiful photos in a new light . Very inspiring I'm lucky enough to live a 5 min. drive from the coast here in the States and still find it the most happiest of places .
You're welcome! So beautiful to hear you love close to the sea too
I remember noticing a branch of a wet larch tree being lit up by the sun catching the water droplets. It only lasted a few minutes as the sun moved. Luckily, unusually, I had my camera nearby at just the right moment.
Sounds like such a beautiful moment Tony
Joy
Enjoyed the video as usual Kim.
Great image's as usual and my favourite one was the one with the flower and spider's web.
I know exactly what location that you are at as we were there last March and glad to see that the seagull painted on the blue beach hut is still there.
We got some nice image's there.
I know if you remember but we were coming to see you to have a coffee but you were ill.
Hopefully get to see you next year.
Glad you enjoyed the video Tim and also delighted that you enjoyed your time there last year 😊
Exquisite images Kim, loved the out of focus areas, magic and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Victoria
Just stunning it's not always about the big vista sometimes it's right we're your standing gorgeous images must be a wall hanger many thanks Kim for a lovely video as always ❤
So very true Brian. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
I've had an obsession for some time with capturing bokeh in grasses - You can get some stunning images, as you prove again here. The satisfaction is immense.
It certainly is! Great to hear you've experienced similar
Hi Kim, what a delightful range of images young lady. I especially like the dew drop with the sun star peaking out from behind. I don't think l have seen an image like this before. It's like you've captured natures little fairy lights. Thankyou. 🙏👏
Wow - what a lovely comment! Thank you!
Loved it! Very inspirational!!
Thank you!
👍💜👍💜👍
Hahah - I've just posted some images online, that echo that sense of being in a place where you wonder if there's anything there to photograph - it was a gold mine! Love those dew drop images Kim. Just stunning. No wonder you were buzzing with the morning.
Thank you Denise! It was such a wonderful morning and yes - so many image opportunities!!
❤
Totally Inspirational Kim. Thank-You for your enthusiasm and your ability to see wonderful things within nature. You have provided me with the energy to get out of my image making rut and I'm encouraged to get to my 'normal' areas and look for those scenes in nature that inspire me as our spring season approaches!!
Thank-You yet again!!!
Stu (Wellington, NZ)
This is so lovely to hear Stu. Enjoy the fresh growth and opportunities that spring brings
Thanks Kim 🙃@@kimgrantphotography
That's one thing about photography I absolutely love how the 'simple' things can exite you soo much!! What's your favourite Z lens Kim?
I wouldn't say I have a favourite lens but I use my 24-200mm the most, closely followed by the 100-400mm and 105mm macro.
@@kimgrantphotography ah nice! I love the 105mc also! But most of the time I use the 24-70 for the diversity. But still looking for a ultrawide..
Thanks!
So kind! Thank you for your generous offer June 😊 x
Beautiful..... Love the flower and spider web image. Pleasure to watch.
Nice follow along with you Kim! Beautiful shots and wonderful takeaway! Keep up the good work!👍
What a beautiful morning. In the first image, the grass looks like a sparkling curtain. I like that.
Thank you for sharing all the time! Never thought you can shoot morning dew this way. ❤
What a beautiful video. The shimmering backgrounds of light from the dew drops is just wondrous. I love the simplicity of the images yet complexities of light dancing through them. Inspiring as always and thank you so much for your enthusiasm and wonder with photography 😊💕
Thank you very much! Great to hear you found it inspiring
Nature is truly a beautiful thing.
Another wonderful video, Kim, thank you so much for sharing.
its such a high when this kind of discovery happens, such beautiful images you've shown us the importance of keeping your eyes open to the possibilities of images around you instead of having a mindset locked on finding only a specific image or type of image
