    I'm glad Heaton directed me your way. Your style is different from a lot of the photographers I follow so it really gives me a new perspective to consider. This is also an example of what I like about the photography community. Heaton has a big following, yet is willing to promote your photography as well and acknowledge there is something to your style that maybe his style lacks.

    I'm one of those people who have come to your channel via Thomas Heaton. I really enjoy your take on woodland photography and how you find compositions in things I would walk past and never consider. You have helped me to see the woods in a much more detailed way. Where I am from there just are not that many misty mornings and twisted trees with moss covered branches that seem so popular to photograph so being able to see things in a different way makes for a much more interesting walk in the woods.

    I find your knowledge of your surroundings as much a pleasure to listen to as your explanations taking us through your composition.
    It seems that I too, owe Mr. Heaton a breakfast or two, for introducing your channel to me.

    So pleased that Thomas Heaton acknowledges the respect you truly deserve. Such a relaxed manner of narration has helped me learn to unwind and enjoy my outings. I used to get frustrated, instead of enjoying my outings whilst struggling for compositions. Thankyou.

    I can't tell you how much I appreciated the very small mention of the ivy vine perspective you did in the beginning of the video. Perspective. That's 100% what it is.

    This was an interesting interplay between two professionals that I have been following for some time. When the online environment is often the source of pettiness and unrestrained self promotion, it’s very rewarding to see the respectful interplay between honorable persons displaying the character we benefit of seeing more of. Thanks to both of you.

    I started viewing because of the Heaton referral... I am staying because of your excellent content... "see what I can find" is a wonderful mind set for a walk in the woods... it is amazing what you can see when you look over your shoulder (3:00 min mark)... I appreciate your understanding of the interactions in nature... the ivy vines... wow... a stunning forest pano... your attention to the little details, the macro and or intimate landscapes strikes a very positive chord... Thank You

  • @Hobbyist.Photographer.
    @Hobbyist.Photographer. 3 роки тому +16

    So glad I found this channel through Thomas. Whereas he does more wide vistas and landscapes, you do more intimate type shots. I love both, but in my area I struggle to find the vistas. So this more intimate type of photography is right up my alley! I do wonder why you choose certain settings such as f19 and f16 and the longer shutter speeds. Maybe some explanation of those settings for each shot you take would be helpful! Love the channel and I’m hooked!

    • @SimonBoothPhotography
      @SimonBoothPhotography  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you. I choose apertures that suit the scene really. I shoot many of my close up's for example at f4, but it depends on the effect I'm going for! Every situation is different and it's why I don't go too deep into explaining the settings for each shot.

    I have to thank Mr. Heaton as well. Before I knew a stitch about composition, I went for photos like yours. I’m always head down in the floor of the forest or taking shots of trees all grouped together as they were meant to be (even though this was a plantation). You’re helping me learn how to do it better. Thank-you. Lovely music, good video, and really appreciate your joy of and fascination with nature.

  • @gregs2466
    @gregs2466 3 роки тому +1

    Three cheers to Thomas Heaton for what you did for a fellow photographer! In my opinion, Simon is one of my favorite photographers on You Tube and he has opened my eyes to seeking out smaller compositions and I need it. I am from the States and I live in the Mojave Desert and certainly do not have woodlands (us in the States call it a forest) to photograph. The desert has a lot to photograph but watching Simon for a long time, he has taught me to compose in my eye things around me that I have not given much attention to until now. Thanks Simon and this post really shows how you can take a small piece of land and found beaty in it. Look forward to all of your post.

    • @SimonBoothPhotography

    • @SimonBoothPhotography
      @SimonBoothPhotography  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks James. Your comment means a lot. I had wondered whether some would feel aggrieved because I have had a leg up and not grown organically as I suppose we should really. I'm dead pleased but a little daunted by it! I hate pressure! The cones at the end were my favourite of the day too!

    Like others have said, I’m grateful that T.H. suggested people check out your channel. Your videos are excellent. I’m really enjoying going back to your older videos too. You are a natural teacher, and the time you take to make botanical and environmental observations makes it a really rich experience. Of today’s images, the last one and the panorama of the pines were my favourite. Congratulations on your sudden jump in followers. It’s well-deserved.

    Thank you Simon for the joy of seeing you at work. This is certainly one of the most exciting finds in my wilderness of utube university on Photography. Well, I was following Thomas Heaton for some years but I just happened to find you on my own just today. It may well be a result of watching Thomas too often but this was in deed one of most delightful videos and I'm just going to watch a few more. I'm also into photography: all sorts of things from the age of 14 or so which is a long time ago with very simple equipment in the early days. I'm going to learn a lot from watching your videos and for that I'm most grateful for sharing your joy with us all - the mere mortals in love with the world and light. Keep well and wish you good health and long years with us all.

I went out the same day to my local woods and exposed new areas and came up with a few new locations to photograph. Thank you for your inspiration.

    I'll be honest, I only found my way here via Thomas Heaton but I'm glad I did. I really enjoy your calm, relaxing photographic journeys and the way you spot the shots that others might miss. It's the way I try to approach my own nature photography, so I'm enjoying catching up with your library of videos for some great tips. Beautiful images in this particular video, especially the exquisite detail in the pine cone shots.

    Thank you Simon for sharing your walk I in the woods with us. I enjoy your eye for detail. The nodal rail made me wonder when I saw it but as you explained it I remembered hearing about that a long time ago. One thing I hadn't heard about before is the phone app that shows you what the scene looks like with different lenses. That's something I've wished for and now I know there is one. Thank you again!
