Photographing New Forest Ponies [Mike Browne Photo Biker 5 ]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2021
- A beautiful crisp clear cold morning, perfect for a motorbike ride to the sea to photograph boats. Exploring the New Forest for pigs proved fruitless, but I did get some great photos of the New Forest Ponies as the sun moved towards sunset.

All I want for Christmas is a whole day out shooting and talking with Mike Browne... A few days would be better, but 1 would still be fascinating and a cracking good time. One day. I hope. Happy Holidays Mike and I'll track you down someday I hope.
Thanks Craig. You too and look forward to meeting you someday... MIKE 🙏😊
Absolutely love these bike rides and the photography tips as well as the tidbits of the country side. Thank you for sharing, Mike!
Glad you like them Bridgitte. See you this evening for this week's Masterclass Ultimate meet... ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Love the starburst and the boat. The ponies are great also. Thanks
Thanks Harold. Glad you like them! ... MIKE 🙏😊
I love that garage! I could get lost taking pictures in there alone! Thank you for continuing this series, Mike. It's quickly becoming my favorite video to see in my subscription feed! I can't wait to see more as the seasons change into Spring and Summer. Stay safe out there and keep on keeping on!
Thanks. Glad you like them! Yes i'm certainly looking forward to the seasons changing, bit of warm sunshine would be lovely. I'm riding up to Wales tomorrow to hang out and film with Photography Legend (and biker) Claire Thomas (link below). Fingers crossed it's a bit warmer. 5 hours in this morning's cold damp mist won't be so much fun... ... MIKE 🙏👍😊

Wow, some very powerful photographs on that webpage! Wish you the best of luck on that adventure! Really looking forward to seeing the results!
Aahh lovely ponies. Another fab video.
Thank you Sarah ... MIKE 🙏😊
Pixel dust and magic fairies! Exactly how I’ve thought starbursts were created as well.
😆😆😆 - Good man... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Good stuff Mike, thanks for sharing!
I enjoy that thanks for another great ride ,keep the shiny side up
Glad you enjoyed it Peter... MIKE 🙏😊
Even though you screwed up, I still enjoyed watching your continued quest for great photography…
Thank you Chaz C... MIKE 🙂🙏
Thanks for a nice trip!
Just now catching up on some videos after a few weeks' hiatus, but saw the pony shots on ClickASnap and loved them! Can't get enough of backlit critters.
Thanks Nathan. Gotta love a 'Backlit Critter'... MIKE 😆🙏😊
Never had heated grips, But I was thankful for a pair of "Hippo hands" on my old CX500 when I used to commute 100 miles a day in the winter back in the 90s..............Ugliest bike ever created but so comfortable :-)
I just rode 4.5 hours back from South Wales this morning Nigel and I would assert - they're awesome. Hippo's were great - as were CX500s. Ugly as you like - but megga reliable and surprisingly nice to ride. Loads of dispatch riders had them... ... MIKE 🙏😊
👍👍👍 Mike.
I am glad that at my older age I am not the only one who shakes a bit.
Oh boy....this is going to be fun going through your channel. Just started this hobby, now this will be fun.
Thanks othrower74 - Welcome aboard! I run monthly photo challenges and feedback sessions if you'd like some 'homework'. It free to join in. Link below... ... MIKE🙏😊

Not only are we picking up some photography tips and thinking, or for me, bedding down what's there more so, we are also learning about some of the UK. Fascinating sharing of culture and history there. I thought our two countries were relatively similar - how wrong I am!
Thanks Denise. Glad you're enjoying them ... MIKE🙏👍😊
Another great one Mike, keep em coming............ please.......... :-)
Thanks, will do!.. MIKE 🙏👍😊
Another great video, combing two passions of mine.
Thanks... MIKE 🙏👍😊
I loved the photos of the ponies at the end, much prefer a good pony pic to a greasy pig pic hahaha. Fab video, thank you for sharing it with us 👍
Thanks Duncan ... MIKE 🙏😊
Hi Mike I'm from Malaysia.keep doing what you're doing .you 're an inspiration to me.pl
Awesome! Thank you Shuhairi. ... MIKE 🙏😊
Terrific series Mike!
Thank you Vanessa... MIKE 🙂🙏
You're the best!
... MIKE🙏👍😊
i am enjoying these videos as i doubt i ever get to the uk so nice to see your area of the world. enjoying the informal way of getting information. please keep them coming.
Thanks Jan. I'm riding up to Wales tomorrow to hang out and film with photography legend Claire Thomas, (link below) so change of scenery for you in that one. It'll hit the Tube sometime in new year...... MIKE 🙏👍😊

Brilliant Mike. I spent many a holiday in and around the New forest with my parents back in the 60s. Dad let me use his box browny to try and take photos of the ponies, your video brought back so many memories. I now have a cannon camera a d a couple of lenses, love your bike videos.
Thanks Milly. Maybe you should come visit the old place again some day ... MIKE🙏😊
Great video!!! I missed this kind of videos!!!
Thank you... MIKE 🙂🙏
The tamrac expedition 5 is a great backpack with various lens adjustments you can configure I bought one used for $50
Enjoying these videos immensely, Mike - the perfect combination of travel and photography and a bit of history thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to your next excursion. In the meantime, Happy Christmas, mate.
Many thanks Alan - you too..... MIKE 🙏😊
Heated vests are too good! cheers!
I'm thinking about investing in one Steve.... MIKE 🙏👍😊
This new series is awesome...You da man Mike Browne!! Your instruction is very refreshing and encouraging.
Thanks IllumiGraphic ... MIKE🙏👍😊
Fabulous video Mike, great footage and content….especially as a Christchurch local recognising some of the places! 👍🏼
Thanks Nicholas ... MIKE🙏😊
Hi Mike, I really enjoyed this one. It is such a pleasant change to see someone out and about enjoying things in spite of these horrible days of the China Disease.
Thanks Mike for yet another great video. Have a very Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year - from a sunny and warm Rock of Gibraltar.
Thanks Brandon - You too ... MIKE🙏👍😊
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Thank you! ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Have a great christmas Mike! Wish you the best for 2022!
Thanks dutch man. You too ... MIKE🙏👍😊
Really enjoyed this, Mike. Happy Christmas!!!!!!
Thanks Mia. Same to you... MIKE 🙏😊
Loving the videos 👍
Thanks 👍
Another great vid Mike, they are a reminder to all photographers of all levels that it's a very good idea to refresh our minds and recap on 'proper photography'. I do a lot of street photography and often I end up leaning to fine art photography which can cause bad habits after a while as I purposely over blow highlights but your videos and your photography courses keep our standards high and they keep our understanding of the concepts of composition, light etc so we can go onto other genres behind the camera . Great stuff Mike, you are my 'Go to' person when I need to keep my photography standards as high as possible 👍
Thanks David. I love shooting life and want to do some street photography vids. Will need a camera operator though because filming the un-expected (which I think the best moments of street photography are) is so hard to do alone... MIKE 🙏👍😊
It's good to know not to worry about arguing with your camera 'features' to get the right 'setting'..... 👍
Thanks Chris. The "Right" exposure is the one that makes the image look how you want it to, which isn't always the exposure the camera says it is... ... MIKE 🙏😊
Totally enjoyed this video. The only thing missing was me on the back of that bike !! 😏 Merry Christmas Mike and a Happy and Healthy New Year !!
😆 - Maybe some day Laureen. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Christmas to you too... MIKE 🙏👍😊
I'm really enjoying these bike rides. As someone who will not get to your neck of the world, it's great to see your beautiful country side as well as learn about it. I like the shooting information on the fly that you're doing. It's very helpful. Sure appreciate all the work you've done with the GoPros. Hope you can continue. Thanks and will look forward to the next ride.
Thanks Marey... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Wonderful video sir. Really like this series of bike shooting…thank you for sharing this with us.
Great video Mike. I'm really enjoying this series.
Glad you enjoy them Jim. ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Never a waste of time. I always learn something new from your videos - not only about photography. I'd love to see you and your camera journeying North on your bike, up through the 'South', Midlands, Pennines, Lakes, then into Scotland. Right through the middle of the country - taking images and explaining how and why along the way. Comfort Zones...
#Photography #Motorbike #Skills #Knowledge #Journey #Travel #Learning. In YOUR header, that would tingle a few of the UA-cam's algorithmic tendrils...
Thanks Bokooda. That's the plan actually. The days are too short to find the good stuff at this time of year but the days are getting longer again now... MIKE 🙏😊
Oh prefer the ponies over pigs anyday! Great tips, wonderful trip! Thank you so much for another great video Mike. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year also!
Thanks Caitlin. You too... MIKE 🙏👍😊
I am enjoying your journeys around your local area so to speak, especially on your mode of transport. It really gives a different perspective and a better appreciation for the English countryside, from forests, pastures to small villages.
What an interesting way to showcase your passion - photography.
look forward to your next vlog 👍👍👍
Thanks Ian... MIKE🙏👍😊
Great video and some welcome advise Mike, thank you. Thought the bike was going? Stay well and safe and hope you have a brilliant Christmas and a very happy New Year.
🙏 Thanks Stig, glad you like them. 2 of them were going, but only 1 sold. That leaves just the 4... MIKE 😆
Done it again, great video and what a beautiful part of the country you live in. Love the riding skills, oh my word!! Brings back good memories of my riding days, yes, I was a hooligan as well 🤣
Thanks ColvilleBri. Always good to let the hooligan out now and then... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year to you and your subscribers.
Thanks Harold. Same to you!... MIKE 🙏😊
Hi Mike I just saw your movie. First of all, I think it's great that you give me the feeling that I'm riding the bike myself, that gives a feeling of freedom. The great thing about your film is that you take such beautiful photos with little. For all the photos of the ponies I liked how the light falls on the mane of the ponies is a nice effect.
Nicely done Mike looking forward to the next ride and taking us on a ride in England. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks Frank. Glad ylou enjoy them. I'm riding up to Wales tomorrow to hang out and film with photography legend Claire Thomas, (link below) so change of scenery for you in that one. It'll hit the Tube sometime in new year...... MIKE 🙏👍😊

Loving this bike riding caper, spent a lot of time on bikes in my younger days, nostalgic. I cant go past a good croissant and mince pie either. Was looking forward to seeing the pigs but ponies will do, I have 20 welsh ponies(used to breed). Love your commonsense approach to photography you make it sound so straightforward and easy. Looking forward to more bike trips, thank you for your hard work. PS we used to like fast winding roads on our bikes too.
Thanks Lisa. No resonable thinking person should ever go past a monce pie 😆. You might see some Welsh ponies in a vid in the near future. I'm riding up to Wales tomorrow to hang out and film with photography legend Claire Thomas, (link below) so change of scenery for you in that one. It'll hit the Tube sometime in new year......

Hi Mike. I'm really enjoying your bike trips videos. I am disabled now and I go out along the lanes and cycle tracks on my mobility scooter and get to see all sorts. Yesterday went along the towpath on the Lancaster Canal and got my first shot of a Kingfisher it made my day. I live next to the Lancaster Castle and its not far to get into the countryside. All the best for Christmas from Vince.
Thanks Vince. Glad you're enjoying them and still getting out there. Photography's a great way to be 'in the moment' instead of thinking about tomorrow or yesterday... Have a great Christmas... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Another lovely trip around the Forest. There were definitely few acorns this year, we had none from our three oaks! Spotted you walking back to your office during the week as we drove into town - looked like you had got your lunch 😀😀
😆 - I often pop by Cookies Corner around lunch time. Glad you enjoyed the video. I'm riding up to Wales tomorrow to hangout and film with photography legend Claire Thomas [link below]. Looking forward to the change of scenery. It should hit the 'Tube' sometime in January... MIKE 🙏👍😊

loving these photo biker vids. it has two of the nearly best ever things to do Photography and Hampshire (Dorset's Auld enemy)
Would dearly love a photo biker shoot in my old stomping grounds of Dorset. (ex-pat in Sydney)
Thanks Popsy. A Dorset video will hit the 'Tube' in the next few weeks... ... MIKE🙏👍😊
What a lovely, yet very cold, afternoon ride! Sorry there were no pigs but the ponies made up for it. I like that they don't mind people walking into their space, hope I get to take some pony photos on my travels some day.
Thanks Diane. Glad you enjoyed it ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Good day Mike, my Harley has heated handgrips as well and are nice on cold days. I put my bike away for the winter here, glad you can still go out and about. Til next time, peace.
They're awesome. had them on one of the other bikes for years but that one's been out of action for couple weeks which is main reason for using the Thunderbird 900. You too brother... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Mike, I I have watched your videos for years and my bucket list is to join you on a trip abroad.
The burnt out shot of the boat.
Now my favourite saying camera is in the one in your hands.
But you also talked about filters, which you no longer seem to do. Any reason. I know that you you have never been big on filters, wouldn't that have been an ideal situation?
Love the bike series...
Thanks Martin. The sky behind the boat was virtually burnt out to the eye, so bringing it down with a filter would (in my opinion) look un natural and kinda wierd. I rarely use filters because I find it quicker and easier to do it on the raw in Post... ... MIKE🙏😊
Another great vid Mike. Like you I also ride (bmw) and use Fuji x-t2 or x-h1 but oddly never thought about combining the two. Will be giving it a go for sure. Keep them coming.
Thanks Gary. I had an old R100 series 7 many years ago. Great bike. Had 98,000 miles on it when I sold it. ... MIKE🙏👍😊
Another excellent ride. I really look forward to them. Such an inspired idea. Great, practical tips too. Re your bike bag. You can buy a separate inner for camera gear to go inside. I have one which I put into any ordinary bag or ruckie. It has movable compartments. I bought it online ages ago and have used it loads. Looking forward to your next trip.
Thanks Mary. Glad you like them. If you have a brand name or link where I can check them out I'd apprieciate it ... MIKE 🙏😊
Hi Mike, I was at Keyhaven the day you did this shoot and saw you there but didn't know who you were then . Enjoying your vids of my locale and where I also ride a bike. Next time I see you about we can have a chat maybe. See you around!
Hey John. Absolutely come say Hi next time... MIKE 👍😊
Really enjoying this series Mike. "Course I've "herd" of cows"....hilarious. Really interesting facts and stories about the towns you are travelling through. I had no idea that pigs like acorns. What a shame they weren't out. But the ponies made up for it.
Thanks Susan. ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
ive been doing this sort of thing for about 4yrs now.. i ride an MT09 with my rucksack and camera gear in there.. im usually in mid wales and the mach loop. also cumbria and the east coast at bempton cliffs. a few good hours ride from my home in manchester.. The only problem i have is that i see something that i want to photograph and i take the shots.. Then a few miles down the road i see something else so im on and off the bike alot../ snowdonia is one of my fav places to see. but if anyone knows the western side of the lakes a place called wastwater is a must to visit.. its englands deepest lake and amazing scenery
Great Locations lucky13. Been to most of them and will revist for this series when the days get longer. Mach loop's always been on my bucket list too. Great to know how many other photo bikes are out there. Enjoy buddy. And Thanks... MIKE 🙂🙏
You pick some cracking days to be out n about Mike, for obvious reasons, but, nonetheless, amazing colours and interesting info too! Knowing this area fairly well, I try to second guess where you're off to, great advertisement for the N.F. and wider area, hope H.C.C. take note, pun intended !!
Thanks Laurence. Glad you enjoyed seeing the area again. ... MIKE 🙏😊
Hey Mike - great video Sir and thank you for doing this instead of addressing the backfire on the 'bonnie'. Love viewing your video's as they contain 2 of my loves in biking and photography. I'm also learning so much about the area I live in :-)
Thanks @Paul Lucas. Glad you enjoyed it. Did you know I'm running a 3 day Photo-Biker workshop based in Lyndhurst in May? If you'd like to come do this with me please checkout the link below... MIKE 🙏🙂👍

Mike, your videos are always worth watching, even if it is just to see you enjoying being out making images. One day, when I get the time, I will dig into your paid courses, promise. In the meantime, if you ever want a walk around Bath, I would be happy to show you around. We had a great lunch kind of down your part of the world a couple of weeks back, at the Noisy Lobster. I had a very happy hour before lunch experimenting with long exposures and a new screw on polariser on the beach. Not sure I like the new glass, but I need to do more with it to see if it is just a case of getting used to its ways....stay safe and stay healthy.
Thanks Steve. Noisy Lobster is just along the beach from where i do the 1 day workshops. Keep on shooting buddy...... MIKE 🙏👍😊
I was sat in a wood near Brockenhurst once brewing a coffee and the biggest pig I've ever seen came out of a bush. I shit myself! Back then I never knew they were let loose!
Ha ha ha! I can picture that....probably shouldn't laugh! 😂 💩 🐗
So that's what happened to the pigs this year! We went for a walk round Fritham which is normally guaranteed to be full of pigs and there wasn't one! Had a nice lunch in the Royal Oak though...
As my bro said when I phoned him - they were called in early this year. Royal Oak's always worth a visit... ... MIKE 🙏😊
Hi Mike, great vi as always. Givi do a camera tank bag, the 508 model I think?
Thanks Mark. Apprieciate the tip off ... MIKE 🙏😊
Yes another terrific journey. Thank you Mike. One question; when you got the starburst, was your focus on the boat, the sun or the sunlight reflection on the water? See you next time.
Thanks Stuart. Don't remember TBH, probably the boat. Because everything in that shot is beyond the infinity point of the lens, especially combined with a small aperture it didn't matter because everything would be sharp regardless of where the camera was focused. I can't go into details in a UA-cam comment but this and many other things are all explained and demonstrated in my Masterclass. Link below if you'd like to try a free sample. Hope that helped... .. MIKE 🙏👍😊

Hi Mike, try looking at Shimodas core units that fit in there bags. You can buy the core units separately and they do lots of different sizes so you should be able to find one that just slots into your tank bag and would turn it into a camera bag.
🎆THANKS Steve. You're a star mate. Googled them and they look like a brilliant solution. Really apprieciate that.. MIKE 🙏👍😊
Hey Mike, I'd like to see you take a trip to Hengistbury Head as its my local haunt and I have had trouble finding any more than a couple of good compositions. I am sure there must be more. I like your Local videos as I can relate to the places. Look forward to the next. Happy xmas.
Thanks Robert. happy Christmas to you too buddy ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Great video as always. Have you tired a camera bag insert? You can fix it inside your tank magnetic pack
Thanks for the tip ✅
Hi Mike, Great video and love the bike, Triumph are the best lol. I'm a biker and a photographer and often down your way as the in-laws live in Hurn. Would love to meet up and head out for ride with yourself sometime. Hope you have a great Christmas.
Thanks. That'd be cool. Glad you enjoy them. I want to arrange some hangouts with other Photo Bikers at some point in time. ... MIKE 🙏👍😊
Yay! No1! How's it going Mike?
😆 - Hey Ash. All good this end buddy. Hope it's the same your end.. MIKE👍
@@MikeBrowne All good thanks! Pixel Dust indeed! What are you like?!
Great stuff. Wouldn't this work beautifully on BBC2?
Thank Mark... You'd have to convince the commissioning editors... Have a great New Years and 2022 ... MIKE 🙏😊
Maybe it’s just that I shoot birds a lot, I saw the gull fly up onto the boats pole and my first reaction was to kick myself for missing that silhouetted shot…missing the point though aren’t I? I’m in the middle of your video, so I’ll watch on. I always learn something Mike.
Thanks CharlieBrown... MIKE 🙏👍😊
I'm a biker myself, always took my old canon 350d with kit lens and Sigma 70-300 with me. This was loaded in my tankbag (BMW tankbag) fitted with a home made sponge insert to protect the equipment a bit. Happy to share pictures of the set up if you provide an email adres (also refer email on your website)
Hey thanks Willie. Apprieciate it buddy but have solved the problem now. Best wishes... ... MIKE🙏😊
How fast do you go? I am from Maine
How fast do I go ... what Pat?
@@MikeBrowne on your motorcycle. What is your speed
Mike maybe you could meet up with Roger the Black and White photographer on the Isle of Wight.
I couldn't find Roger the Black and White photographer on the Isle of Wight with a search...?
@@MikeBrowne Shoot Film Like A Boss is his UTube channel Mike.
Can’t you just stitch pieces of Velcro inside the bag and then use the dividers from another bag Mike?
Thanks for the good idea Jon. I've kinda taken a different route now and bungie a camera bag on the seat behind me. never did like having a bag infront of me.. ... MIKE🙏😊
Hey Mike, there is lots to like about these videos, have you got 2 bikes, that's twice as boring! Ha ha. Heated grips . . . Really? Like the bit with the sun glinting through the trees behind you on the bike. Can we have more about selecting the composition please? Thanks
Thanks Glyn. It's actually 4 times as boring mate 😆 I'll see what i can do re more on composition in some forthcoming videos. They're shot about 4 weeks in advance so it'll be a while... MIKE 🙏😊
@@MikeBrowne Four !!! Ugh !!!
When you are riding around on your motorcycle with temperatures as cold as you were experiencing do people have strange expressions? I'm sure that your face was cold but what you were wearing kept you warm enough.
You mean strange expressions looking at me - or my own expression? 😆 If you're well layered it's not that cold TBH. Though I'm riding 4 or 5 hours up to Wales tomorrow to hangout and film with Photography Legend and Biker Claire Thomas (link below). Hoping the weather is a bit warmer for that ride... .. MIKE 🙏👍😊

next time you photograph ponies take an empty water bottle and crinkle it, or you can click, whistle, or jump up and down a few times
Thanks Sarah. Snapping a stick usually works too...
Wouldn’t a bacon sandwich be easier
