A Peaceful Place for Nature and Nature Photography

  • In this video I head to one of the most peaceful places for nature to inhabit, a beautiful old cemetery in the heart of Suffolk. I arrive as the warm morning sun is beginning to bathe the cemetery in glorious morning light and when the bird song is just coming into full swing. Nature at it's finest I always think. Couple that with a camera and a spot of nature photography and there couldn't be a better way to spend a morning in my view. Come along and watch as I photograph a graveyard landscape, macro images of beautiful wildflowers and to put the cherry on the top of the cake, an unexpected abstract view, but you will have to watch to find out what it is.

    Hello Simon, my favorite is image 4 because of the light and the powerfull mixture of yellow and green.

    Three beautiful images Simon and I agree with you, my favourite is the last one. I love how the leaf at the bottom of the frame angles into the left hand corner - perfect.

    My goodness - the birdsong was so vibrant during the first image. Beautiful. When my kids were young I always took them to old cemeteries. You can learn so much history! And now as adults they visit on their own. That cemetery is so interesting. I appreciate all of your images Simon. Have a good week.

    lovely images Simon 🙂 the leaves shot is my pick but as always, picking a favourite is never easy
    I'm pretty well confined to home at the moment, but we have saxifrage and forget-me-nots growing in our garden so they're keeping me and my camera busy!
    we also drove past our local chapel's cemetery the other day and I reminded myself I must get there before it's too late and they've cut the ivy back. there's parking right outside so i should be able to get there shortly (fingers crossed)

    Hello Simon
    I had never seen such an old cemetery. A realy peaceful place to find great compositions, but this time my favorite image is the last one. Don´t forget to look up, I always do it :-).

    Very nice Simon! I love an old cemetery. You gave me an idea to go and revisit this old cemetery here in Miami that’s absolutely full of great trees and vines.
    Loved that last shot with the leaves. I didn’t know you were “allowed” to have blown out highlights. You’ve proven that rule wrong as well. Thanks!!

    Coffee lover here too! Not sure about the gizmo tbh but I always have my hario v60 and filters in the van and coffee from Salford Roasters in the fridge, i can highly recommend their Rwanda natural or the Ugandan Bukonzo dream! The gravestones image was stunning btw!

  • @jillbaxter4533
    @jillbaxter4533 Před měsícem

    As a self confessing coffee snob myself I'd love one of those little machines but I can't justify the cost versus the amount of use it would get. I visit my dad once a month (500 mile round trip) but can I justify its use for two days a month? and as I no longer work that won't cut it either! I'm sorely tempted. Ahhh well I'm sure about one thing: your 'eye' for finding compositions. I loved the three flower shot. and I think that may be my favourite. Well done Simon for inspiring me to get myself out there and start looking.

  • @jimpalmer5217
    @jimpalmer5217 Před měsícem

    Simon, great shots as always. I really like the second shot, the vine covered grave markers. Have you tried converting it to B&W? With everything green my thought is that the color it self doesn't really add much to the composition.

  • @michaelhall2709
    @michaelhall2709 Před měsícem

    Yes, the last one for sure. The others were fine, but that’s a portfolio-level keeper.

      @@SimonBoothPhotography I’m sure it does - in fact it’s probably well-suited for landscape photography, so long as you don’t need to haul it up a mountain. 😊 I looked out of curiosity and it seems that they are available for a reasonable amount of money. I currently shoot m4/3, but if I ever decide to switch formats perhaps I’ll get one and skip over full frame altogether.
