Hello Mate as always great content. I have purchase couple of items from your recomendations. I have a question. Do you have any experience with the Nikon 200-400mm f4 either vr or VRII?
Hi Simon Another great film just looking at the kit you used in the film is the photo mat standard or have you added the camp design onto the mat on Speedgraphic web page only looks like it comes in black much appreciated.
Morning Simon mate brilliant video today it was really nice seeing them I work on a farm and haven't seen eny for some time,, down in that valley is thar fox's and badgers for you to film,, take care mate
hi Simon, I’ve spent the last week going through almost all of your vlogs and have to say you should have a lot more subscribers, your man hours alone put into these in depth videos is amazing, a man of my own heart where nothings left to chance, there are too many wildlife photographers out there that don’t put anything like your effort and time into their vlogs, a ten minute post every now and then just doesn’t cut the mustard for me, well done mate, I’ll spread the word when I can 👍📷🦅🐦
Thanks Terry, kind words. That made me chuckle as Ive just released a 6 min video!! 😆 I know what you mean though mate, thanks for watching the channel 👀👊🏼
Great work as always!!! Love following your channel! I'm a Lancashire lad(Blackburn)now living in County Kerry Ireland 🇮🇪 You'd love it over here! A have for wildlife especially Red Deer in Killarney
Hi Simon 100 films fantastic iam sitting in Barbados cant get enough of your films trying to catch them all watching you with all this knowledge is amazing Hope to see you at the bird fair. Looking forward to more videos. Good luck .
Happy 100th Simon, excellent as ever. I think I’ve watched most of them. How about revisiting your painting and stick making sometime soon? That thumb stick with the roe illustration was awesome. Keep safe and well Simon (and don’t go falling off any more ladders…..🙈). Terry.
Nice one mate. Followed you up to Cairngorms this week. Managed to see Golden Eagles briefly and got a quick grab shot of a Crested Tit near Aviemore. Took 4 days though! Keep up the inspiration. Happy 100.
Morning. If you’re looking for a smaller, lighter prime have you considered the 300pf. It came recommended by Jessie’s in Preston along with a 1.7 teleconverter. Didn’t cost the earth (second hand) and I love it along with the Z9. Just a thought.
Cheers Simon. Congrats on 100 films. Your cinema photography and storytelling just gets better, and is always a pleasure to watch. Good field craft and some cracking shots. All the best. 👍📷😎
Congrats on 100 films Simon, met you up at Brockholes last year while you were attending a fire🙈 FYI found a little owl! It’s amazing how much wildlife is in our local area! Interested in the mat you lie on on edge of field in this film, take it it is one of your own? You got stock or are they made to order? Btw, impressed so much with cobra3 I’ve just ordered one! Great film as ever Tim
Hi Tim, i remember bumping into you mate. Yeh the mats are made to order but I do have some in stock. Youre welcome to collect one if youre local. Let me know. DM me on facebook or email @ simoneardley1969@gmail.com. Alternatively you can visit the shop @www.etsy.com/uk/shop/EardleyCreations Thanks for watching Tim and youll love the Cobra 3 👍🏼👊🏼
Awesome film Simon 😊. Love photographing hares myself 😊. Congrats for reaching the 100 mark buddy. Look forward to the next one, keep up the good work. All the best, Tom
Spot on mate well done. As previously said very inspirational, you got me back out and shooting mate. Time for a brew and a fig. Looking forward to the next one buddy.
Well done Simon iv'e watched everyone so far and look forward to plenty more : The way you were stalking across that field was good to see after your tumble : Quick question Simon is what do you fill your bean bag with for weight when edging your way across the fields : I have two purchased from you, one filled with seed (perfect but very heavy) the other filled with poly peanuts very light and comfortable but not as supportive .
Hi Colin, the beanbag in the car is full of seed but for stalking I use buckwheat husks. Theyre available on Amazon. Super lightweight but still a great platform. Thanks for your custom mate.👍🏼
Congratulations on the 100th video I've enjoyed everyone of them lovely shots if the hares they can be twitchy buggers i'm up in the highlands again and got my first daytime shots of the pine martens, happy days 📸👍
Congrats on reaching 100 videos, awesome as ever Simon. It amazes me how much kit you carry, you must have a strong back. Keep it up and look forward to another 100 vids.
Happy 100 Simon 🎉👍 your enthusiasm, knowledge and humour make all your films great watching… I look forward to seeing the next 100 🍻 still don’t like that red on the tripod though 🤣 not exactly camo LOL
Hi Simon, just catching up with your videos now we’re back from our cruise. Congratulations on posting your 100th video and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed watching every one of them. I have the 3D Camo head cover and gloves but in your vlog you demonstrated how good the gilly Camo is. Awesome shots at the end too.
Always look forwards to your videos Simon, so keep em coming! re: the beanbag, I bought one from you and it's served me well so far, just wondering though, and I will try this, but perhaps putting something solid in the supporting area whilst you are filling it would keep it from sagging as much as just using a filling?
Congratulations on the 100 films... Looking forward to your next 100 and where this takes you... Nothing to say about the images as there cracking as usual... All the best.
Another great video Simon,congratulations on reaching 100 videos made, love seeing Hares,I saw 19 and 20 Hares the other mornings on my Nature walks,just a bit further North than you but still in Lancashire,take care mate 🐰🐰
Here’s to the next 100 films 🍻! Just can’t beat the big primes and getting low. Love the shallow depth of field. I have a canon 600f4 is v1 which I love but it’s sure a tank to crawl around with. Nice shots of the hare. I can’t help but wonder how many other eyes are on that hare when it’s just chilling in that open field?! I guess that’s nature though. Take care.
Wow 100 vlogs, hopefully I've watched all of them as I find everyone really interesting and informative. Keep up the great work and here's to the next 100 vlogs. Thanks for continuing to inspire.
Another great film with spectacular images as always! Wow, those drone shots just lift the content to another level of filmmaking though. Looking forward to your next outing, thanks for showing what can be done Simon.
Hi Simon. Just been going some of the mountain of old photos from my time in the Royal Marines and found some of Cam and concealment training we used to take photos in mono to highlife problems with the recruits efforts. As most beasts of the field only see in mono it’s quite interesting to look at what we use for photography. You may be surprised
Great video Simon. There seems to be more Hares than ever this year which is great. Making the video doubles your workload in the field and that’s appreciated.
congrats on the 100 vid ! you were right to go back the second night Just that little bit of seperation from the grass did make a difference ! for play on the stalking you must of being a sniper in a former life !! great work as always Si Happy easter to you and yours !!
amazing shots.
Sublime and superb yet again 👌
Hello Mate as always great content. I have purchase couple of items from your recomendations. I have a question. Do you have any experience with the Nikon 200-400mm f4 either vr or VRII?
Nice one Felix, i dont personally but a friend of mine has one and he loves it. Its a heavy lens but great image quality.
Simon have you tried the frying pan system it works well even with wading birds. Rodders 👍
Ive got one in the workshop ready for modification!!
Hi Simon Another great film just looking at the kit you used in the film is the photo mat standard or have you added the camp design onto the mat on Speedgraphic web page only looks like it comes in black much appreciated.

Brilliant Andy, those pesky daytime Pine Martens are a bit of a nemesis for me. I'll get them one day hopefully!!!🤞🏼📷😆
Guess I'm lucky in rural Shropshire the brown hares tend to come to me. They even feed on my lawn occasionally.
Lucky man George 👍🏼👌🏼
