Great Video Paul, I follow some woodland photographers in the UK, and Aussie, my argument is NZ Bush is a dish best taken wet! our Native Bush does not handle contrasty light, rain, mist and or fog, I'm a coward in wet conditions, 11:37 amazing considering the conditions you were facing 11:43 beautiful i love the layers 11:53 very graphic, 12;05 I like it it's a toss up between this and 11:43
Dear Paul, today you took me to a paradise like few others. A thousand thanks. How good is your beautiful dog. I remember when he was younger you took him to the seaside. Of course, the years have passed for him too as I see in the video and for us too, but he still remains beautiful and very sweet. See you next time dear Paul.
I shoot with the Oly EM 5 - just bulletproof and with IBIS ahead of its time, still going strong after 10 years. That pani Leica lens looks the biz, very nice pics.
Hello Paul, it's a nice video. I spend a lot of time in the forest myself as a nature photographer, you can see a lot and you can take good pictures at any time of the year. I really like the implementation of color on black and white. Best regards from Germany Wolfgang
Hello Paul! Once again, you presented beautiful landscapes based on your point of view! The Hungarian Vizsla is a bit of a self-righteous, strong-willed breed, but very smart☺️. I had one when I was young. Hello Tamás
Lovely photos as always , I liked the dam pictures in particular lots of atmospheres 😊, I find woodland extremely difficult too , but I like what you did with the fern leaf and the new bud coming up through the middle of the fern, I loved that , I think it's easier to get in close in a busy bushland, it harder to get wider shots unless your in and area with big trunks like the tee tree shot
For me the images of the damn are very reminiscent of photos my parents took when we lived at Ngakuru in 1960-61. The sepia toning is something I remember well from their photos. Annoyingly the photos are now in Scotland with my 90-year-old mother. Makes it hard to look at them in person. I'm with you on Bush Photography. I haven't done a great deal of it, and considering I live on a mountain with national parkland I really should take advantage. Lol as I get nearer to being 70 I find I have an aversion to walking up hills :) As always Paul you make the world around us look just that bit less ordinary. 👍
Cracking work Paul, great subjects, awesome colours, woodland I find is not the easiest place to shoot so much going on so trying to make something cohesive is a challenge you did a top job. Oh yeah and to cap it all another 4 zip away from home MOT going up mate we are goin up.
Dogs are the BEST arent they... if that was my wife waiting there id get all the complaints under the sun ... yet that dog waits - just happy to be in the presence of his best and only mate.
Nice video about your tranquil and relaxed working routine. About lenses and cameras one can obviously argue endlessly -- I just wonder why you do have this Panaleica 100-400mm and not something like the 50-200mm from Panasonic ? The latter one would arguably be more useful for someone not shooting birds and wildlife but leaning more towards landscapes i would suppose. Somehow i also wonder and i am amazed to see you seem to have no handling issues with these small Olympus models, despite having larger hands --- a Panasonic G9 would be so much more convenient probably -- but anyway . We also shoot with Leica M`s and they are of course also not the best handling cameras ( at least they are having a decent size and are not overload with little function buttons and levers 🤣 )
A good effort! Bush, heavy forest whatever, one needs a definite plan! Walk less, look more! Digital offers too many possibilities! Pretend it's film! I was sad to see, the reliance on photoshop! I still shoot film, but unhappy with my results! Digital seems better, but often unsatisfying! Looking forward to more!
Hi Paul, can I recommend a fellow CZcamsr to you who specialises in woodland photography, his name is Simon Baxter and he produces some really beautiful work that I've personally learned a lot from
We miss you Paul!
Chilled vibes in this one. Thanks for taking us on another journey.
Top video great pictures !

Grazi!
Great work , Paul. You always give us new ideas. Thanks. KB
Lovely Vizsla, I had one for a long time, kills me thinking about him.

EM-5 is a great camera
Great shorts

So glad you’re back!! Can’t say it enough!!
All your images are great, you certainly provide me with inspiration.
Where have you gone again? We miss you!

Hi Paul - with image stabilisation nowadays being so good then a stitch may be possible for a wider view ?
Check out Steve O' Nions from the UK. He's a master of woodland photography.
Nice video about your tranquil and relaxed working routine.

Didn’t know you could use Leica lens on Olympus?
Panasonic Leica M43rds.
