Dog and photographer in perfect harmony FANTASTIC!

Another really enjoyable video Simon, it always makes me chuckle when you stumble or slip and you just manage to hold the laughter in.

It wouldn't be a walk in the woods without a good slip ;-)

Lovely images; my first laugh of the day was the bit at the end with the water being poured out of the boots. Nice touch.

It always amazes me how you create atmospheric images that have a clear focal point standing out from the dense green of woodland vegetation. You have one hell of an eye. Stellar stuff, Simon.

Many thanks, Martin! Much appreciated!

Unplanned may be what you are saying, but before digital, I took a photography class and the instructor had us go out in the woods. We had an Instamatic camera with 12 shots on it. We had to find a spot and stop and take all twelve shots from the same spot without moving. Getting twelve different images from the same spot, in my opinion, this increases your creativity. When you have a whole forest in front of you the choices are endless. I am enjoying your creativity in all your videos. Thanks!

Many thanks, Christopher. That's a good exercise to do! Anything that makes you slow down and appreciate the nuances.

Plan C was great! Send some of that shortbread my way! In the end, going back the next day proved your fog comments to be spot on. Those trees are brilliant.

Thank you very much, James. The shortbread doesn't last long in this house ;)

always look forward to your uploads Simon, thanks for posting

Plan C saves the day! Fog certainly added atmosphere to the shot the next day.

Best one yet Simon. Love the first image too.

Those last shots are magical!

'Plan C' was awesome. Great video as always king of the woodland.

Another enjoyable and informative vlog. Thanks for posting Simon.

I can’t believe you walked around with that amount of water in your boots 😂. Another great vlog 👍

that's awesome! spontaneous adventures are the best! Great photos too! All the green plus the rain/fog ambiance is really relaxing. I love your vlogs!

Simon I have watched all you videos and always really love them, but this one stands apart from the rest. I really like how you made the vlog flow nicely from one moment to the next, especially having done it out of pure spontaneity. Cheers. Well done.

Great vlog Simon, sometime the good old plan "C" is worth waiting for. Also goes to show that sometimes something good comes from nothing:) :)

Another great video Simon, especially like the silver birch shot.

Great video Simon, closing few seconds let us see what you went through to make it! Thank you for your time and effort!

I felt your pain at the start Simon, when you explained that your planned video didn’t go ahead due to the conditions. I had a very similar experience when I visited Wales recently and it just bucketed down and all my good planning was washed away. Like you, I just went with it and I managed to capture a few unexpected shots (as well as a vlog), so all wasn’t lost. I really enjoyed this more unplanned approach in this video. Despite the last minute change, you ended up with some wonderful images mate. Thanks for sharing your experience Simon.

Thank you again for taking us through your thought process for the shots. Plan C wins again!

That looked alot of fun, sliding down the slopes. Meg looked abit wet!!

Great video as usual Simon. Love your woodland pictures.

Your filled your boots for certain! What a great composition at the end though 🙏

Very nice Simon. As someone who lives in the desert, it is very refreshing to see glorious green foliage, rain and fog! I haven't seen a cloud in two weeks :)

Another good one. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the next one

Great Video Simon. I love the fern and the waterfall. It's just stunning. I could literally watch your videos all day. can't wait to get some of your prints.

I just love this forest you are in. We don't anything like that here, as it is very dry and dusty. I need to come on one of your workshops to experience this magnificent forest, so the newsletter has been subscribed. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.

No Megscapes today, but that's okay. Your vlogs can't be all about your furry companion. Lol. Fog or not, that is one magnificent tree covered in green velvet. Loved the shot.

Absolutely beautiful at 4:39 Great tip I learnt about the shutter speed on this one...sometimes it is nice to have some movement

Thank you Simon.

For "Plan C" I'd say you had a successful outing Simon. You were right though the images the following day with fog looked even better! Keep up the good work.

Another superb video. "I'll just give another 11 minutes and 52 seconds more of my time" I thought and then give myself a break from my computer. 2 hours (and several of your videos) later and I'm still here. I've just remembered I have a job to get to tomorrow so I'm off now :D

Very nice video Simon as always . Great shot of the star of the show at the end.

Always enjoy your videos.

Wow! stunning...

Beautiful video with your usual amazing images, that oak tree is incredible and it's a great find. Your post editing is something special too, you seem to be any expert at those delicate touches that really make an image.

Beautiful picture...and great video

Hi Simon , i did a shoot last year on Seaton Carew beach. The fog was so thick everywhere, you could only have a one foot distance of vision....i got some awesome shots that i was very chuffed with. Always look forward to your uploads, keep up the great work.

Greatly enjoyed that!

Like your vlogs very much Simon - liked and subbed :)

Don't worry about the video being unplanned, Simon, your thoughts are as always reason enough to be inspired. BTW: Loved that look on Megs wet face at the end! Was she worried about her master having wet feet? :-D

Great Vlog...thanks :)

enjoyed that....

great work!

It was all going so well, great video and fantastic images/composition as usual - then, right at the end, Meg steals the whole thing again! When will you learn :-)

Another enjoyable video Simon. The next days shots did have that bit extra with a hint of fog. I just wish I could see images in woodland like that but sadly for some reason I rarely see them. Perhaps it's because I live on the coast and am tuned to seascapes which is my local patch. Have to say that Meg navigates fast flowing water and slippery slopes with consummate ease compared to yourself :-)

I guess it is something you tune into. I'll have to revisit the coast at some point to see how I fare there. Yep, Meg doesn't seem to care about whether you can see the bottom or not :)

Nice video Simon

Thank you Simon, love the greenery that you have, being in Australia it is a different green. Drier rather than than that lush green. nice shots though ad lib.

wonderful vlog and images. Just subscribed and liked. Keep them coming, Simon. Thank you.

Really nice shots. Love the waterfall with the misty landscape above it. Reminded me of catholic paintings where heaven is always visible at the top of the frame... Sort of! Meg looked pretty sad to be going home :D

I'm glad you persevered Simon, and made this spontaneous video. Question about the waterfall image: where do you focus to get top tree to foreground all in focus? 1/3 from bottom? Hyperfocal distance?

@SimonBaxterPhotography

Hi Mark. I was at 35mm and focused on the foliage to the left of the waterfall . None of the scene was particular close to the lens so focusing on the midground at f9 ensured the image was sharp from front to back.
