Incredible LIGHT out of NOWHERE | Sunrise Woodland Photography
#woodlandphotography #landscapephotography #naturephotography
I can never resist heading out when a forecast for mist or fog is showing on the weather apps. This morning I'd accepted that it wasn't meant to be - having driven through the forest in almost perfect visibility and walked off into the woods with little expectation.
Shortly before sunrise mist started to show, and within about five minutes thick fog was rolling in across the heathland into the forest. The morning quickly spiralled into a manic shoot as dramatic light broke through the fog in fleeting moments - some of the best conditions I've experienced in the New Forest.
Hope you enjoy the video - please like and subscribe if you do :)

This video is just a compilation of some of very favourite clips in the forest to some chilled music. I hope it shows off some of the landscapes and wildlife in the forest, through the season...

    The only way you learn is from your mistakes. You had a great idea by trying to capture the sun’s rays coming through the forest.

    Always worth chancing it during the winter, if there's a dry patch. Apart from dog walkers you get it pretty much to yourself, even on a tourist trail. Personally I'm not bothered about foreground. I think the most successful landscape photo's attempt simplicity and try to avoid one of the three: foreground, middle distance or background. Most difficult to miss out the middle distance, but it is possible if you use the lay of the land or get your camera down low.

What tent have you got Max, looks to be some nice headroom - I can't stand low down coffin like ones , used to have a wild country zephros 2 and it was too claustraphobic for my likening. atb Al

    • @maxtakesphotos
      @maxtakesphotos Před rokem

      Hi Al! Yeah always a nice touch when you get a break of light! The tent is a naturehike mongar 2 (can get on Amazon), it's basically a total rip off of the MSR Hubba Hubba for a quarter of the price. The design is great, lots of space and the weight is very good. My one is pretty wrecked now, it's definitely not a tent you want in moderate to high winds (couple nights at 40mph + have completely warped the frame in almost every place), so would recommend more as a fair weather tent for sure. They do another called the cloud peak which is meant to be more solid... I wouldn't be surprised if they all come out of the same factory as the MSR ones to be honest

    • @thevalleywalker

      @@maxtakesphotos I thought it was a naturehike because of the colour, I have the Star River 2 which is a copy of a Big Agnes tent - does me fine as I love lots of room. I wouldn't take it up a mountain though unless it was a still night.Have thought about getting a Cloud Peak as they are meant to be sturdier. I don't do enough camping to spend big money on a tent - I need a lighter sleeping bag these days too - my Alpkit Sky high 900 weighs a tonne and my lightweight bag has been pinched by my lad.

    Technically you're right with ISO (International Standards Organisation) but as it really is a misnomer with digital, it harks back to film sensitivity, as there is no international standard of 'gain' in sensors from one manufacturer to another its a pointless bit of info. Canon's iso 400 is not the same from one Canon make of digital sensor to another, let alone to Sony or Fuji etc. (of course you know that the sensor doesn't get more 'sensitive' the more you up the iso, its really the same as upping the gamma on your monitor). The mist/fog thing had been frustrating me for years, every time you walk towards it it dissipates; until somebody pointed out it works exactly the same as heat haze or atmospheric recession. The more distance between you and the visual horizon the more atmosphere there is to be distorted by conditions. Blindingly obvious but until last month I just kept walking towards that darned elusive Scotch Mist. You do incredibly well just making as many vlogs as you do. I know a lot of people have nearly given up completely due to workload. I hope its not interfering with your career prospects.
