I feel so fortunate to still be living in a time when I can watch this creative genius.

You being serious, or just a facetious ass? Juss curious? No worries

She has such a beautiful eye for the small things! ❤

I really like your image “Echo”. It is dreamy. Not abstract. Just dreamy.. to the right degree!

Beautiful and good video Courtney as always! I'm so happy to follow your work, those little details of nature, the exquisite processing of your photos, your peaceful voice explaining it. Everything perfectly placed in the right place. Thank you for sharing it.

This is surprisingly peaceful and inspiring to watch. Thank you so much for sharing this.

As always Courtney- great video. I really liked "Echo", and it's because of you, I look forward to grabbing my camera gear and heading out into the wilds. Your casual pace is a pleasure to be a part of. We'll continue watching "over your shoulder" from Port Angeles, WA. USA, where spring has sprung! Keep up the good work!

Watching you explore the Forest in those Wellies reminded me of my favorite Brit of all time, Compo from Last of the Summer Wine. Thanks, Haven't been reminded of him in far too long and it made me smile!

I so love Mossy Hideout...well spotted

Great video Courtney. Yes, I think that is a great idea to do a telephoto only forest photo shoot.

I liked the out of focus part of “Echo.” Just because we can focus stack doesn’t mean we always should. Your photo evokes classic macro photography for me. Really fun video to watch. The way you talk about your shots seems like you’re just talking to us like we’re there. Thanks.

I loved the mirror image. The little mushroom cap nestled in the green moss was exquisite!

I just smiled when I seen the fungi, I knew what you were up too! Stunning capture’s. Your photos never bore me. I always look forward to seeing your videos. 👏🏻❤️📷

Stumbled across this video today and I'd like to say I felt really happy to see a content different in pace and style from what's is generally created on KZread. Keep it going!

"Mossy Hide Out" is extraordinary! I enjoy your videos and photography, have been following you here for a while now. I have to say, "Mossy Hide Out" may very well be my favorite image. Do not ever stop capturing mushrooms!

Hi, I am a fresh amateur from Somerset. I really like your channel, watching your videos I have learned some useful information and even decided to switch from APSC to FF. Now I am a proud owner of a d780, and it is truly a big step forward. I am eagerly looking forward to your next videos, wishing you great shots and unforgettable moments.

The photo "Echo" was perfect as it is, thank you...👍

Hello, thank you for taking me along, the great explanations and great pictures. Best regards, Albert

„Mossy Hide Out“ is such a lovely picture 😍 well spotted 👏🏻

Lovely day in the forest Courtney so serene and beautiful mushrooms, ' Echo" ✌🏽

It's great to see you work, good shots.

Love your photos and indeed: the most important thing is to enjoy the adventure. Love the musical choices you made too. :)

Great video Courtney. All the images and compositions are super but I really liked that "Mossy Hide Out" :)

Thoroughly enjoy it! Another great video Courtney.

Thanks Courtney. A great video and I love the photos

When i am in a wood i like to take photos of moss covered tree roots. I like the way that they appear to be snaking towards you in the photo.

Just discovered your channel. Really appreciate the way you walk through all of your thought processes. For someone new to photography like me, this is far more useful than the typical “10 mistakes ALL photographers make” or “best settings for camera x” type videos out there. Also appreciate the chilled vibe immensely. Will be downloading loads of these to watch on my next long haul flight 😊

Amazed to see your Professionalism , I would love to follow you onwards to see your informative and professional content , and start learnings . Thanks that you are in youtube ❤

Beautiful images.

Great photos: Thank-you for sharing!

Another beautiful gem of a video Courtney. Very inspiring and I feel the same shooting in woodlands, I can’t see the composition for the trees at times. Never attempted Macro, but feeling inspired. Was wonderful to meet you at Birmingham NEC and thanks for letting me steal a selfie.

Your work shows just how difficult it is to make art from the muddle of nature. By perseverance and natural ability you make lovely images. Many think you can just walk into the countryside and the images present themselves. They dont. Its hard and lengthy work. ❤️

Great job Courtney good video as always.

I've been waiting for your new video for days, finally!

Thank you for sharing💕💐💕

Awesome video ❤ beautiful shots ❤ loved it ❤

Thanks for sharing your experiences. You created some awesome images.

First time watcher of one of your videos, and I really enjoyed your content. That shot at 8:14 'Mossy Hide Out' is superb. I nice reminder to slow down and take the time to observe. Subbed.

Love all of your videos here in the U.S.

Great video, love ‘echo’, thanks Courtney.😊

Excellent shots as always

Thanks again Courtney for another interesting video with great images.... interesting location with many possible compositions....you have a great eye for unusual but interesting subjects.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊

Excellent video & shots, thank you for sharing :)

fantastic video, i felt like i was watching one of those learning shows.. the way you went from shot to shot and the words you use, very informative and also very lovely photos 🙂

One can never take enough mushrroms images! Great post

You are my inspiration to get into my local forest with macro equipment. I love the images, and the one of the moss sporophyte (Echo) is really lovely. Critcially sharp in just he right spots.

I really liked the "Echo" shot, simple and beautiful. I'll also say I'm glad to see another photographer who doesn't feel the need to have the very latest equipment and understands that using used gear is a good environmental choice. I have the same Tamron 100-400 lens, and love the results I get with it, by the way. All the Best! :)

Awesome blog. Keep the great work.

Favorite genre of photography! Man these cameras and lenses are massive! I am glad for mirrorless cameras.

I’ve been interested in Photography almost since I can remember. I’m also a KZread addict, lol. There are subjects I binge on for months, even years. Sadly, though, I’ve only found two KZread photography channels I like, and yours is one of them.

Another great video Courtney. I think it's a good idea to use the telephoto lens in the woods as it gives you a different perspective. The Echo image i really liked as it spore looked like it was a reflection of the first one. Look forward to the next one.

Another excellent and inspirational video. Thank you. Also, great to meet you in Birmingham last week at the Video & Camera show.

Lovely macro work. As for using long lenses for landscape photography I totally agree . I usually use 35mm to 135 mm. Tne classic focal lengths

Can’t wait to watch ❤😊

Really great video again!

Another great video, I particularly liked the “echo” photo.

Really Nice video Courtney, and it was great to meet you Last week!

I am fine with the spore not being tack sharp. As you said it was ethereal and it is beautiful on it own. Kudos

I, for one, enjoy your mushroom shots, ma'am. 😊 I get a lot from your videos so, thank you!!!

You are blessed to have been born in a technoligically advanced Age. Photography and life could have been so much better for us older viewers. We did however benefit from a more generally relaxed lifestyle, no World Wars and the Prog Rock era. Keep noticing nature, Courtney.

Been using the D850 since 2018. It's still my go-to for nature photography.

Awesome video and photos my friend! I kept saying out loud you do see that amazing tunnel back there! Shoot it, shoot it!!!! 1:43 maybe you have taken that shot before!👍👍👍

Great photos! I’m amazed that you can find mushrooms all year around where you live. I’m envious. Now I’m inspired to go look for macro subjects.

That was a very nice episode... I was myself out in the woodland today taking pictures and sat down to watch your new vid while I ate my lunch when I returned home. I was at The Crosby Arboretum in Picayune Mississippi USA

С удовольствием смотрю ваши ролики! Очень позитивно и познавательно! ❤ 👍😊

Again , another great video.. i wish i could learn photography with you in person!

Always very interesting watching your videos with your creative images and I like your image titles! Kind regards from Sweden

Great video. I love the "Echo" photo. Yes, by all means use your telephoto in the forest. I have many times and have been very happy with the resulting photos. It can, however, be tricky to find the right composition.

3:18 Fantastic image!

Another good video & good to meet you at the NEC last week!

I often use my 100-500mm lens with open aperture for close up's with photostacking...like it!

Hi Courtney! Just wanted to say how nice it was to meet you at the Photography Show last week! Loved that first macro image of the pine cone by the way!

Your forest macro work is so inspiring. I live in Suffolk and we simply don't have that kind of mossy floor in any area I have visited, but I shall have to open my eyes and find some subjects for my new macro lens.

Good to meet you last weekend. Some cracking little finds there. The moss spores were great. Have you ever thought of carrying a small spritz bottle for some of these macro images? Take care.

Cool video. Nice work!

Hi, you're awesome! Please go on with your content!

Thank you so much

Great 👍

I love your videos and your voice. You should do hour long nature walk videos as a relaxation ASMR kind of thing. 📸🌿

The OOF echo you did with the sporophytes is quite lovely. Sporophytes are tough to shoot.

Nice work.

I enjoyed your video! As you were preparing to take the trees, there was an interesting channel through the woods that you can see at 1:39 or so. I personally might have attempted to use that channel with trees to either side to create a composition, getting a tunnel of light effect. The near perfect verticality of the trees in this wood would still have been apparent.

I love the echo shot. I prefer macro with some blur. For me, it adds to the image. Great images!!

Those two "dreamy" spores... the other is like dreaming of the other. Quite romantic I would say 🙂

Its dreamy .. Courtney. Looking into getting a 60mm Macro soon. Cheers

I truly enjoy your videos. They transport me to a peaceful and secure world of nature. I find myself watching them repeatedly, never tiring of their beauty. Every detail you capture is stunning. Your videos are like short stories, immersing viewers in the depths of nature's splendor. As an additional suggestion, have you considered using a small misting device to create water droplets on the intricate details you film? I believe the effect would be quite captivating

Courtney - You are the best...I simply wish that you would post videos more often. Seems that you are slacking a bit! Keep them coming - most entertaining on the internet, as well as being very helpful.

Nice post and explanations

Great video, I really like your Forrest videos. I would like to see the telephoto Forrest challenge.

Fun video to watch! @3:15 Square vs portrait crop, the portrait crop is better but both are keepers

you got me hooked on photographing moss spores, I brought out my Helios 40mm and adapted it to my canon camera.

Great video. I'd be interested to see your usage of extension tubes (or even a comparison of that approach vs a macro lens)

Fine detail a good eye. I'm still using my D850 for weddings as my camera A.

Courtney was clearly a forest pixie in a previous life. (Or Mario, given how often she gets them!)

My left ear liked the video ;)

Wonderful work. I visited your website. Very nice work.

Yes I love your channel. At the same time, I feel like you are something out of a Harry Potter Movie. Please take that as a compliment.

I get much satisfaction from your videos, and images. Some of your work parallels mine, a little at least, but my gear is limited - cropping to optimize my composition is a matter of backing up or moving closer, zooming a bit, and thank goodness for Photoshop! I don't print large very often, so my resolution is okay for sizes that fit my space. Thank you for sharing - my life is better for it!

definitely the square crop

"Forest of lines" looks better than "square crop"

Thank you for another amazing video. I love when you share the settings that you used as well. As a beginning photographer I like that because it helps me to learn more about my camera. I loved the photo with the trees. As you were looking for a shot/composition I was looking beyond as you were walking and the row of trees far off in the distance made this real cool looking archway. I love the forest and the weather looks like it is shaping up here in Oregon. I want to get out and dust the cobwebs off my kit. I would love to see a forest video with the telephoto lens. What kind of filters do you use on days like you were having that this video? Was it an overcast day? Thank you

Goes without saying, you captured some lovely images, have you ever tried Macro insects?
