The Sound of the Oak Tree - Immersive Musical & Mindful Photography

#nature #mindfulness #photography #woodland #canonphotography #plantmusic
Change is on the horizon...This video is a photography tutorial that not only meticulously guides you through the art of capturing stunning, breathtaking images but also weaves in inspiring, thought-provoking poetry to fuel your creative spirit.
In addition, this tutorial shares intriguing, lesser-known woodland facts that will deepen your appreciation for the natural world, and immerses you in the enchanting, soothing sounds of the forest using a unique, innovative device from Music of the Plants.
After suffering my own creative burnout and reading your comments, I’ve decided to create something special to help others find their focus and flow. You have all helped me put this together with your words of wisdom and encouragement to finally go for it! Focus Flow is a mindful photography platform. A bit like @Headspace or @Calm, it has sleep stories (which was my landscape photography diary podcast), mindful resources & tailor made meditations to unlock your mind. Members will have exclusive access to mindful & relaxing content designed specifically for Photographers. There is something for everyone, from learning about the woodland to a community book club. Focus Flow looks at all aspects of enhancing your creative growth, both conscious and sub-conscious. If you’re interested in joining me, head over to my website for more info.

I’ve worked in a forest/ woodland for early 20 years and suddenly feel it’s like being back at the beginning listening to these sounds. They’re wonderful.

Sounds like a beautiful job, what do you do? Glad you enjoyed the video, there's another tonight at 5pm 🌲🙏

😲😲

Very nice, some great scenes and photographs there. These oaks are so beautiful. Fascinating how you always seem to find new approaches to connecting with nature and new ways to take us along. I don't mind if that is 'less consistent', the consistency is in the awe and respect for nature...

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks, I have really enjoyed created this series of videos. It's been a fascinating new way to connect with nature and a really beautiful concept that the woodland is playing it's own song 🎶 I have another video tonight, this one is about the silver birch tree 🌲🌱

[@barrystent3689]

Wow! I've learnt something new there. Very interesting and enjoyable video 😊

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Glad you enjoyed it, more tonight at 5pm 💚🌱

Fantastic video, love trees especially the Oak tree, they are so beautiful. Dame Judi Dench did a program about how trees tailk to one another through the roots system, it was very intresting, also Tony Kerkham from Kew Gardens also did many years ago two programs on trees, it was so fasinating. Trees in rich us all and are so relaxing. Thank you for sharing, it was very fasinating and intresting.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks for the info! I'm actually going to be making some video series on this over the coming weeks. Very exciting to share my findings with you all! Tonights video is about the song of the silver birch tree 🎶💚

[@simeonbennettphotography]

Brilliant video 👏beautiful photos 👍you have a real talent for photography 📸😊

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks so much 😊

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Great video and great images! The oak acorns make a wonderful flour, but one must grind then soak the acorns to remove the tannins. One would then dry the ground acorns and dry them well. you can then use that to make a really nice bread. Thanks for your video!

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Oh thanks, glad you think so too. That's a handy tip, I plan to collect some acorns soon. Thanks for watching, another in the way this evening. Silver birch trees this time, I plan to collect the sap next spring 🌱

[@joncothranphotography9375]

@@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary That's great to drink.

[@artsilva]

That poem reminds me of a similar song; The Trees, by the band Rush. It's about the resilience of the Oak Tree against the mighty Maples, which can also be a metaphor for life.
What an interesting device. This would be great to use during a forest photoshoot where it would be like you are actually communicating with your subject just as you would with a human model during a shoot... and the project plans, wow, I wish you all the best on that. It sounds worthwhile to pass onward.
I will defiantly check out your Focus Flow when I get back from vacation in a few weeks when I have time to regroup.
Great video Suzannah 🌿

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thank you so much! I will check out that song. This is very true. The oak tree is a really beautiful, strong tree and I really love the poem. I'm really looking forward to developing this further. I have a few recordings on Focus flow as a good way to switch off in the evening when cooking or just relaxing editing images. Thanks, I appreciate the support 🙏 It makes all the difference. I've just released another video showcasing the song of the Silver Birch tree tonight 💚🌱

[@markominelab]

Superb video Suzannah. Images, although they can be powerful are only half the story in most cases. I always carry an audio recorder with me on my photography days out and enjoy capturing audio clips that I can work with later. Do attempt making your own ink, what a wonderful thing to do. 🙏

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

I shall! I found some Oak galls so ink on the way. Very excited to make some 💚🌱

[@elisabethkasper4026]

Wooow super nice the Sound.... Its also by new Favorit since coupe of weeks, to listen and recording the Sound of the plants. Greetings from Germany ❤

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Glad you like it! I'm uploading my next video tonight which is the song of the silver birch tree. You might like the sound of this one 🌱🎶💚

[@robinotof]

cool

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

🙏

[@RoyJenkinsPacker]

Beautifully done, such fab tree images. We always knew trees can communicate, now you have given proof. Hope you gave thanks and hug the tree. It's the same with Crystals, they all have a healing energy. Such creatively you have, thank you for sharing.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Yes this is exactly right! It's amazing to learn more about the woodland. I hope to teach my son this one day 🙏🌱 I will be doing a series on tree communication and the tree network beneath our feet 🐾💚

[@thevalleywalker]

Excellent. I don't know if you have come across any books by Dr Oliver Rackham but he has written books on ancient woodland (he passed in 2015) Obviously Guy Shrubsholes The Lost Rainforests of Britatin is a book that has garnered a lot of interest. I have books from both on my shelf. All the best with the project. Alan

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks, I shall check them out. They sound fascinating! The book club I'm running has an exciting first book called entangled life by Melvin Sheldrake

[@AlexArmitage]

Fascinating sounds Suzannah! Just dropping in to say that your instagram link doesn't work

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]
