Photography with One Man & his Dog

- Here's an excerpt from my forthcoming book, Gathering Time....
"The woodlands are once again a magnet for photographers hoping to experience and capture the splendour and glory of nature’s grand finale before the rustling leaves fade and the trees become dormant skeletons in the silence of winter."
I enjoy every season in the woods, but autumn holds a different kind of magic. Join me and Meg as we photograph oaks, alders and even bird cherry trees.

#WoodlandPhotography #Autumn #Trees
Meg, thanks for taking your human out to the woods! Keep on wagging, Simon. :)
Seeing those old trees thru your photography is a win-win. We get to enjoy seeing them and they don't get trampled by people.... I hope you and the land owner never give out the location....it's one of a kind. Hope you're feeling well!!
When I listen to you compose your photos it’s like hearing a Sommelier reviewing a fine wine great work
Hehe, thank you very much 😊
Always a pleasure 🙏
Love you Meg!!! Thank you Simon🙌 Glad I found your channel from Sean Tucker❤️
The forest looks like a dream💚
Last 4 images my favorite 🤩!!!
If I could have the book for Christmas it would be the best Christmas gift ever!
Love your work, and your videos mate... thanks! Oh - and Meg is amazing too!
Beautiful pictures and gorgeous place, stay safe
Oh man, so many good videos, I have catch up on my watching (reading) 🥸 of my favourite UA-camrs 📺🤌
Really lovely images Simon!! Thanks for sharing!!
Very Interesting woodland,
Another great video, and excellent images. I also wish my dog behaved as well as Meg.
Beautiful by the way, and your dog is such a joy
So beautiful, I really enjoy every photo 👍😊
Great images as always. I have said it before, but I really like that are take Meg with you on these outings. She clearly has a great time.
Just found your channel. This was just superb imagery.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget the genuine value photographing nature has for our existence. Thank you for reminding me.
Beautiful photos! There is always so much tranquility in your photos and I absolutely love it! You are a great inspiration and an excellent photographer.
Thank you very much indeed ☺️
Thank you for the video!
Lovely video but who like me watched it for the doggo!
The image at 16:07 looked like a ballerina...great set of images,another wonderful video!
Nice description. Many thanks :)
As usual beautiful images, created with much thought and passion in lovely surroundings 👌👏🐕🌳🌿🍂
That's very kind. Thank you, Jan 😊
Meg in her element. Good luck in Scotland.👍 🥂
Lovely video.
Lovely set of images at the end, especially the second one and the one with bright red berries on a rowan sapling. Thanks, Simon.
Many thanks, Michael :-)
Lovely video buddy, very peaceful feel. Some real stunners
🙏👌
Beautiful photos Simon! Love the photo at 16:08. The central tree in the totally looks like it’s dancing with the tree next to it, stunning!
Thank you very much, Robert :-)
So many ballet dancers leaping about those woodlands. Nice captures.
Outstanding images Simon, the atmospheric fog creates an amazing mood to these and as always Megs makes me smile when I see her rolling and wondering about. ☺
Many thanks as always, Rich :-)
Ambition is such a lovely image even without the Rowan, but that pop just makes it-my favourite from this selection.
I liked what you said..."yes, it's a photo of trees, but it's not about the trees". Maybe I need to remember that when I am in a woodland. I really struggle to see compositions in the chaos. You make it look so easy and beautiful.
Give it a go. See what happens :). Many thanks!
Nice series. Fog sure was an asset. Always a treat watching Meg.
for me, watching the shepherd/ sheepdog series for a very long time, your title forced me to watch this woodland episode. Every minute is inspiring and your results are absolutely outstanding, kept in mind for a long time.
It's amazing to be able to walk with you and to listen to your calm voice describing what is about to happen. Thanks! And waiting for the book!
Beautiful photos, there’s a poetry to the trees that makes them magical-I’m a tree hugger and go about in the woods greeting them along my walks- if anyone ever encounters me and hears me talking to them don’t think I’m crazy, I’m half fae. 🙂🐿
I could cover all my walls with your beautiful tree images!!! So glad I discovered this channel several years ago and always look forward to you and Meg's adventures in the woodlands!
great work bro. beatiful shot
Good to see you both again. Love the woodland photos Simon and how you look all around so you get the best views. Look forward to seeing you in three weeks. Take care and be safe.🌳🌲🌿 Graham
Utter loveliness, as always
Really enjoy the oak tree photos. They grow is such abstract ways. Where I live, we have live oak and they don't grow quite as abstract. There this one huge oak in front of a bank. Winter, the tree is bare of leaved , but has strands of Spanish Moss. In the right light this tree is fantastic to see. I keep watching and waiting for the right conditions to photograph it. I wanr a foggy morning, . I found a spot that I can set up on without trespassing...So now I keep watch of weather forecasts
Best of luck with your endeavours Robert :-)
Salvador Dali said “have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it”. I fear he may have been wrong: he never saw your images!! Just totally stunning Simon. Looking forward to that book on my coffee table! And Meg is such a happy creature! Thanks for a splendid adventure
Nice images! I like the one at 6:12 a lot
Nothing I can say that has not already been said, looking forward to your forth coming publication. Best wishes...
Magic stuff !
Lovely work as always Simon. The splashes of autumn amongst the greens works really well. Particularly like the last shot with rowan berries. Hope you're happy with the final book print, I shall be taking a copy from you
Thank you very much, Jamie 😁
As always a lot of stunning woodland images ! Amazing!
Always so relaxing and inspiring to be watching your episodes 🙏
Beautiful and inspiring photos, as always 👍🏻
So enjoyed today's walk and the images. Thanks!
Always enjoyable to watch Simon
As always a lot of stunning woodland images ! Really looking forward to order your book Simon!
That's very much appreciated. Thank you, Tomas!
I've been looking forward to watching this video ever since I saw it was out on UA-cam, and as usual it did not disappoint. Thank you for another great video, Simon! Love the pictures you took, they are breathtaking. Hard to choose my favourite since they are all amazing!
I'm with you there Simon, I love it when the autumn colours are still mixed with green. Enjoy Scotland, it's still colours + greens but that will change after yesterday's frost!
Lots of lovely images Simon, nice job 👍😊
Lovely images and very enjoyable video Simon.
Great images, lovely scenes, positive vibes and enjoyed seeing Meg as well…thank you for sharing😊
The second and third images at the end I really liked.
Excellent episode. Beautiful work and I love hearing about the compositions. Also entirely relaxing. Thank you!
Love that fade from you walking through that last shot to the finished shot. Very cool. Do that more please. :) Also the one with the tiny rowan tree is my favorite of that set.
Glad you enjoyed that bit. Many thanks, Lori 😊
Great photos Simon thanks for sharing this episode. Best of luck with your new book
Great video Simon and beautiful images. I hope the Scottish workshops go well and see you on the other side.
Always enjoyable to watch Simon and I can’t wait to order your book, I know it will be amazing!
Thank you very much, Adrian. Hope you're well :)
Wonderful images and video as always; excited for your book!
Thank you very much 😁
Thanks for this, I enjoyed it. I love the woods, but had never really appreciated the great potential for composition to be found there until I listened to your descriptions and analyses of the scenes. I'll be out with my new found appreciation next time I get the chance.
Hi Simon.. I'm a long time subscriber and follower of your channel and of course enjoy your photography, but I also enjoy watching Meg, so I hope you don't mind me posting.. Thursday I had to put to sleep my dog Bella, she was old and everything was breaking down but none-the-less I'm heartbroken.. so your videos are even more enjoyable and poignant now that I can watch Meg frolicking around
Thankyou
I'm so sorry to hear that, Robin. I can't imagine how it feels, but I'm pleased you're able to enjoy watching Meg. Many thanks and take care.
Hi Simon. You've inspired my photography for a few years now and have helped me improve my woodland images no end. Most of all though, you've helped me remember how much I loved woodlands as a kid. I'm still honing my skills but watching your videos helps keep me motivated to do better. I've just discovered a new woodland just fifteen miles away in the next valley across from home here in South Wales - guess where I'm going to be for the next couple of weeks ! Love the images here. Submission is a beautiful scene. Thank you for sharing.
That's great to know, Tim. Thanks very much and best of luck in your new woodland 😊
I need to borrow your eyes mate, when I look I can’t see the compositions you see, great vid as usual
You're definitely the expert on woodland photography Simon.
I hope to get out myself soon - Bach problems 🤕
Many thanks! Oh sorry, get well soon!
I'm going to go into my local woodland and not look for trees! I'll try looking for colour, light, shape and form. Could be interesting. Thank you as always, Simon, for a great video with simple but effective tips and beautiful images.
Many thanks. Hope it works for you. Give it time :-)
Great video as usual! I really like this style of shooting. It feels like I'm your vlogcamera and I'm on a workshop kind of... Compared to the usual "b-roll - setting up - talking to cam" these videos has way better flow. Keep'em comin'
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Hi Simon very , very good video , I needed a video like this to reinforce my desire of making photos . Thank you
P.S.I hope your book will be the gift for my birthday (that occurs in December)
Many thanks indeed, Enrico 😀
"Of trees, but not about trees"....that's some great advice and something I must think about when I'm out again. Wonderful video and narrative, Simon. Would you share with us the make and size of your tripod and head? I'm looking to upgrade soon. Thanks!
"One man & his dog" in the rhyme went to mowers meadow, but in your case went to the woods. Sorry Simon, it came into my head the moment the video dropped. However the man with the aid of his dog took some stunning images.
Thank you very much, Nicky 😀
How do you make like soft image with still great details ?
Thanks. Very gentle processing, perhaps a little negative clarity. Low output sharpening.
@@SimonBaxterPhotography thanx for answer. Woodland photography is pure magic.
Hi Simon. I just wondered, do you ever feature Meg in any of your photographs? Also, watching the B roll in your videos I find myself saying to myself "That'd make a nice composition, and that..and that!"
Yes, I do sometimes. I'm never lazy when composing broll - sometimes they act as scouting shots.
Hi Simon. Did you use a polarizer on any of these images?
I didn't. Very rare for me to use a polariser as I like the reflections.
@@SimonBaxterPhotography I haven't used mine for a long time, as I discovered I like images without, but many other vloggers use them, some more often than not. When conditions suit, I might revisit.

Timeless advice for woodland photography: don’t look for trees.
