    Simon, another great video. Your videos have a calmness about them, no hype but very thoughtful and patient. Those same qualities are also reflected in the photos. Then there's Meg. The way she checks out the composition, while you're talking, is wonderful. I'd love to see her photos if she had a camera.

    I just cannot get over the amount of spirit in Meg... it's like it's a daily celebration of life. LOVE that dog. Wet, pasty snow!! Awesome!! Look at it on those killer trees it's on... wow! So wild the corkscrew effect of the bark.....I DO have to wonder if Meg thinks you're a bit daft talking to nobody all the time... : ) With no disrespect to all the other landscape photographers out there... SImon, you make everyone else look like beginners.. Truly stunning work. Those 42mp photos are just plain beautiful.

    Really enjoyed that, Simon. I especially liked that leaning tree with the old wall. Beautiful. Good to see Meg having so much fun too.

      Yes, I was about to say the same thing about the leaning tree. Meg is certainly having a fantastic time in the snow.

    Thanks again for a wonderful Vlog. I love the last bit of information you gave about asking permission to go on private land. I have never been denied access when asking to go on private property. Got some unique shots because of it. Sadly, many do not ask and there is a growing anymosity between land owners and hikers/ photographers in some areas here in Nova Scotia. All that could have been avoided had they only asked permission or at least respected the land and not treat it as thier own private party ground and leave their garbage behind.
    On another note, looking at how you photographed these wonderful old Oak trees has given me a renewed motivation to get out in the woods once again when it's snowing.

      Many thanks for your kind comment. Yes, it's a real problem when people have a self entitled and disrespectful attitude. Litter is infuriating - it makes no sense.

    Hi Simon,
    You are master of your craft and you are my huge inspiration around woodland photography. Your videos teach me and educate me to see things which I didn`t see before when I was in woodland so I`d like to say big thank you for your amazing content .

    I live in the far north where the snow covers the ground from sometime in october into may. I have to admit that even with all that time to experiment i still struggle to find ways to be creative with so much white.
    Meg is a great companion. My last sled dog passed away this fall after nearly 19 years. He persevered through recurring old rolling dog syndrome, a severed acl, deafness and near blindness. He walked 6 miles on his last day, but it was a few years since he could run and jump around like meg.
