- Continuing our explorations of the Britain's Atlantic Rainforest, we find some very special trees which I can't wait to photograph again. A bit like running a workshop, it was great to share my passion for woodland photography with Ben. If you'd like to know more about my choice of camera, lens, tripod etc the please see the photography gear page on my website. Thanks for watching!

Hehe, many thanks 😄
Nature really is astounding! Love how you captured these trees, great tips 👏🌲
Excellent info! Thanks for taking me along!
Beautiful video/photos!!! So relaxing and inspiring. Beautiful forest. Looking forward to the next one.
The passion, the feeling of being in the nature, the knowledge creating the ability to connect with the trees. This is wholesome. Quality content. The creativity, togetherness and happiness of enjoying the process makes my heart flutter 😊
Thank you very much. So pleased that you enjoyed it 😊
Wowh, what a beautiful first tree. And while you are explaining things, behind you is an awesome tree too!! With the cracked base!😃 Both would do great with fog too!
A beautiful third installment in this series. Lovin’ it.
Always appreciated, Wim! Many thanks:)
Stunning stunning trees! Wow. They have so much character.
Simply wonderful, thanks Simon!

Cracking video Simon.

Great video Simon 👍
Incredible place! Love this series!
Excellent Simon - thank you..
Many thanks John 😄
Thanks for sharing Simon. Really interesting & relaxing video. A must watch for nature and woodland enthusiasts and photographers. Well done.
Outstanding video ( the best of these series in my opinion ) with amazing trees . I do prefer YOUR compositions that really show your skilness ,rather than the "simple" portrait on one single ,beautiful, tree.Thank you
Thank you very much Enrico 😊
Fantastic video. Your work continues to inspire me.
Great to hear! Many thanks:-)
Octopoda was such a jaw-dropping specimen! I've really enjoyed hearing Ben's complementary input throughout this series in addition to yours. For some reason, I have such a hard time remembering to consider aspect ratio when I'm taking pictures in the field. I suppose finding a solid place to stick my tripod, checking the corners of the frame and fighting with branches just consumes too many of my attentional resources at this point. However, I recently returned to photograph some of my favorite beech trees with a 16:9 aspect ratio and it really improved the shot. Three trees all standing in a line with outstretched, interlocking branches and the 16:9 really emphasized the strong horizontal re-e-aching component. The light was a bit strong and backlit, so I will need to return but at least it was a big improvement to the composition!
Great video and advice 🙂👍
I always love your videos you see a compostion where I find it really hard. I am in NZ and am going to be near Manchester in a mths time I hope I can find a few good compostions to take back home with me 😀
Many thanks Angela! Best of luck :-)
As my love for woodland and protagonist trees, this was a wonderful video from both of you. Adding lots of information and depth to our natural environment, seen from two specialist perspectives. Great series Simon and Ben 👍 sorry and Meg 😁
Thank you very much, Mali! Glad you enjoyed it 😄
🙏👌
Great shot in the beginning. 16 x 9 was a good move but I would go even a bit further and take 2 shots overlapping and stiching in post like a panorama. Would look great on a wall.
Thanks for sharing,. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks! Sure, that would work, but the image isn't going in the portfolio. Work in progress as the tree has more to offer 😄
What a fantastic tree. Did you consider a panoramic shot Simon ?
Not yet. Just a record image for now. A pano would only be to get more resolution rather than more in the frame.
Very enjoyable watch Simon - lovely collection of images in a stunning woods (particularly the first image).
Many thanks, Adrian! Hope you are keeping well.
@@SimonBaxterPhotography I am and I hope you are too. The funny thing is I’ve stopped photographing in the forest pretty much over last 18 months and it was only yesterday I was reflecting on our Zoom session before the pandemic and questioning “my why” around photography in general….so your video this morning was timely to remind me of why spending time amongst the trees with or without the camera is essential. And so enjoyable…thank you for helping me reconnect.
It is fascinating when you bring an ecologist (?) into the field with you and let what he teaches us about the forest inform your compositions and selection of subject. Please thank Ben for us and thank you for another superb video. I wondered if the tree behind the two of you when you were filming the first large tree was also a goof subject.
Thank you very much. Great to hear that you enjoyed the collaboration :-)
