I sort and file by year and month, and store on external drives. I don’t keyword, only add stars to what I think are editable images that might be portfolio worthy. “Portfolio worthy” is a topic that warrants discussion on its own. 💜

@artsilvaАй бұрын
Another fantastic video Suzannah. I am jealous of your local woodland, there is so much moodiness and vibrancy all around it seems that would give a rich choice of compositions. I think the most challenging part is using the fallen trees as a proper and aesthetically pleasing focal point in the composition because there is definitely a story there to be told with their demise and how it seems other trees are holding parts of them up a if in mourning or something... Idk, just my imagination running wild when I saw those. Thanks for sharing the magic.

Wonderful walk Suzannah. I trust the R5 is okay, they are very robust and designed to take these knocks quite easily. The mist makes all the difference to a woodland image, you've captured some beautiful shots on this walk. 🙏

Wow... stunning location and stunning conditions. Would have loved to walk there... You are right, mornings are the best time to be in the woods. Great tips for compositions; i was wondering, do you also play with camera height? I learned it can make a difference as well. But maybe not so easy while carrying your son ;-)
@ddki9094Ай бұрын
What I like is that you show what your thought process is when scoping out compositions...what I really loved is when you pointed out why a certain composition would not work instead just showing what did work. It's important to see why something may not work...I appreciate that.

I am always envious of how vibrant your forests seem to always be where you live. Here at the So. California coastal mountains, spring colors are short live before it turns brown and dark greens. We have a mountain [a two hour drive away] that for a week or two period a year will look like a painted mountain of colors from a Bluebell species, Lavender, California (orange) Poppy and some little Red Poppies and Yellow Mustard Flower all on beds of bright green. I have yet to photograph it. Again I missed my chance this year. Currently for my proper woodland fix I plan and hope to drive out to the Sierra foothills at Sequoia NP to visit and walk thru a forest the largest trees known to man, the Sequoias and Redwoods while colors are still rich and creeks are flowing. I thoroughly enjoyed this POV walk and talk video, glad you decided to explore this idea more, obviously it inspired me to do a weekend road trip to the redwood forests :) Thank you.

Thank you for inviting us along on this walk. Beautiful time of year and it looks like you hit it with the Bluebells in top form. Your walk with your son reminded me of my time with our first daughter. My wife was a nurse working rotating shifts. To give her time to sleep during the day I'd take our newborn daughter for long walks and as we walked I talked describing everything we'd see. I also had her touch objects we came across. Your vlog brought back some good memories.

What a lovely forest .Nice vlog as always with some nice pictures. I did miss your way with creative stories which has helped me in a little way on a book I'm writing. I love how you take your son out I used to do that when my daughter was young many years ago now but it will be of major benefit to him. 5 or 6 months ago I was sitting on a bench on a hill overlooking the trees for life visitor centre near loch Ness with my daughter having a catch up enjoying the scenery and she turned to me and said that all the times we spent in nature when she was young was so much appreciated and beneficial to making her the person she is today. This touched my heart so much in many ways....I suppose this vlog reminded me how quickly children grow so treasure every moment....bb

I was keeping my fingers crossed for you carrying the toddler as that muddy can (especially downhill) can be a bit harzardous - I slipped a little while aho and put my hand down to stop my fall and my wrist took the full weight of my me as I went down. As you was talking abut not getting out I am currently restricted from driving after a mini stroke so have not managed to do any real photography for a while. Cinematic B Roll is not always the story - I watch quite a few hikers who do the "1st person view" and it works fine I say. Just keep doing what your doing. atb Alan

Yes it is a beautiful woodland with a lot of variety, I really enjoy shooting here as it gets a variety of conditions. Yes I was very carful when walking, I have some decent walking boots with good grip! Looking forwards to the warmer months when sludge is less of a navigation risk. Your experience of slipping is super useful to know, I shall go careful from now on. I think you'r not alone and a lot of people here have different restrictions which affect them in various ways, hopefully someone will see your comment and relate. Have you tried to get around the restriction of driving? I find a blocker like that can really affect ease of trip and focus. I'm glad you like it, I think for the short term is it is a style I will adopt until things settle with my son's sleep pattern. The full videos will be back soon :)

My daughter is 4 now. It was one of the best things to happen to my photography. ( as well as my life ) The morning before 7:30am when she wakes up is now my time. I get up for sunrise most days and just go walking ( with the camera ) . I’ve dedicated a lot of time to studying the trees and flora and fauna. I’ve read about the local landscape, how it evolved and the history of all of the woodlands that I walk. The local areas now feel like friends. Watching everything develop and grow over the years ,coupled with an increased understanding effectively means I now never get bored. If I travel now, I generally only go to Scotland. These two areas will keep me busy for a lifetime. I’m looking forward to the day she is strong enough to come walking with me. I’ve taken her out a few times to “watch the sun go to bed” but she’s more interested in squishing sheep poo with her wellies 🤷♂️ . As you said, we evolve. Things are not necessarily better or worse, they are just different. I can highly recommend projects. Time to get out can be limited with a young child so trying to dedicate that time to something specific really gives you focus and maximises your efficiency as it were. It’s hard work, tiring and some days the last thing you want to do is go but it is always worth the effort. Good luck and get used to being exhausted 😎

Yes it is a beautiful woodland with a lot of variety, I really enjoy shooting here as it gets a variety of conditions. Yes I was very carful when walking, I have some decent walking boots with good grip! Looking forwards to the warmer months when sludge is less of a navigation risk. Your experience of slipping is super useful to know, I shall go careful from now on. I think you'r not alone and a lot of people here have different restrictions which affect them in various ways, hopefully someone will see your comment and relate. Have you tried to get around the restriction of driving? I find a blocker like that can really affect ease of trip and focus. I'm glad you like it, I think for the short term is it is a style I will adopt until things settle with my son's sleep pattern. The full videos will be back soon :)
My daughter is 4 now. It was one of the best things to happen to my photography. ( as well as my life ) The morning before 7:30am when she wakes up is now my time. I get up for sunrise most days and just go walking ( with the camera ) . I’ve dedicated a lot of time to studying the trees and flora and fauna. I’ve read about the local landscape, how it evolved and the history of all of the woodlands that I walk. The local areas now feel like friends. Watching everything develop and grow over the years ,coupled with an increased understanding effectively means I now never get bored. If I travel now, I generally only go to Scotland. These two areas will keep me busy for a lifetime. I’m looking forward to the day she is strong enough to come walking with me. I’ve taken her out a few times to “watch the sun go to bed” but she’s more interested in squishing sheep poo with her wellies 🤷♂️ . As you said, we evolve. Things are not necessarily better or worse, they are just different. I can highly recommend projects. Time to get out can be limited with a young child so trying to dedicate that time to something specific really gives you focus and maximises your efficiency as it were. It’s hard work, tiring and some days the last thing you want to do is go but it is always worth the effort. Good luck and get used to being exhausted 😎
