Thanks Daniel. Enjoyed watching the video. I could smell the garlic from my living room!!!!
Last shot was my favorite
Thanks so much for watching mark, the smell is amazing in this forest, once it gets a little sun on it it just fills the wood ! I love it !
Great set of images Daniel, superb👌🏻 Lovely b-roll intro too, great vlog mate👍🏻
Thanks very much Mark, really do appreciate that
Good Monday Morning from New Zealand, Great Wild Garlic Video, Great Location, wonderful woodland setting, Brilliant images Thanks for sharing, have a great week
Thanks so much for watching Tony, really pleased you enjoyed it. Do you get wild Garlic over there in New Zealand ?
Another great video Daniel what a lovely spot you certainly know where to head to . Cracking drone footage and a lovely black lab to some lovely photos to hopefully I’ll find one to photograph next year take care Trev
Thanks very much Trevor, it’s been a lot of years walking round finding places ! That’s my dog, indy ! My pride and joy ! Thanks so much for watching :)
Nice one mate, I can’t seem to find many wild garlic spots here in Wiltshire. More bluebells! Great job
Really appreciate you watching and commenting! I must admit I don’t know many spots in wiltshire for wild garlic but I know there’s some beautiful bluebell forests there, hoping to get that way later in the year ! Ps love your forest vlogs !
Another enjoyable blog Daniel, some lovely shots. I agree the wild garlic looks best on a slope. Really liked the one with the light catching the garlic. Did the smell make you hungry, I made the mistake of going into a garlic wood before breakfast and it made me very hungry!
Thanks so much for watching Chris, very much in favour of slopes for these forests, i just think it looks so much more pleasing to the eye ! I love the smell of it but it doesn’t make me hungry I have to say but I’d just had dinner before I shot it ! As always, really appreciate your support, thank you very much
Well done Danny! I loved every bit od your video 👌😍
Thank you so much Ivanka, so pleased you enjoyed it !
You Are a true inspiration ⭐️
@@sladja1 thank you so much Sladja, that’s so kind of You to say !
great location Daniel hope the weather gets a bit better this as my bluebells have done now trying to search for wild garlic this week. keep up the good work
Thanks so much Rob, the weather has been shocking hasn’t it ! Hopefully it will ease off a bit this week. Still time for wild garlic mate !
Great video Daniel, looks a lovely location for wild garlic. Haven't really found any wild garlic near me, unfortunately. Not in my usual woodlands anyway.
Thanks very much Charles, if you can find any really ancient woodlands near you then you will have a better chance, it seems to always be the better covered areas the older it is ive found
Great location Daniel, I wonder if it's a certain Wood I was going to go to but weather and work commitments stopped me....don't worry I won't ask! managed to get some wild garlic shots for the first time this year but wasn't really happy with them. The light in yours and the hill slope does make such a difference. Thanks for the work you do. Living in Hampshire and shooting in Dorset often you give me ideas and inspiration.
Thanks so much for watching Steve, I really do appreciate it! I visited this forest a couple of times with no luck and knew it was about a week away from fully flowering but with the weather forecast being as bad as it was I had to shoot it early and I’m glad I did as I went past this weekend and it’s just not the same anymore, the rain and wind has really messed it up. Thanks for your kind words Steve
Nice one mate, not sure how I missed this first time around. Had a hunt around with limited success last year, fingers crossed for this year, definitely aim to dabble a bit more with woodland/forest photography this year.
Thanks very much mate ! Woodland is deffo not my strong point but hoping to get better with it and try again this year ! Hope you’re well and getting out !
Good video Daniel
Thanks very much for watching Glenn, really appreciate it!
Beautiful and magical location- fab shots and drone footage. Always love watching your vlogs, a weekly watch for our family. Keep up the hard work, you really have a wonderful talent.
Thanks so much Heather, I really appreciate the support from all of you and I’m so pleased you enjoy them :)
Enjoyable viewing Daniel with very nice images in a great location. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching John, really pleased you enjoyed it ! It’s a glorious forest there but sadly the recent bad weather has got to it a bit
New subscriber, im looking to be doing landscape and woodland myself soon your video and presentation has given me much inspiration...thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words and subscribing Colin, I really do appreciate it! I find woodland quite tricky but I love doing it and the only way I’ll get better is to keep doing it ! Hope you get some great images when you go !
@@DanielWretham my motivation is being driven by your video and others...found it very hard the last 6 months, I'll get there soon...these inspirational kicks up the behind are very welcome lol
Perfect vlog, the drone footage is simply breathtaking and of course Indy! 😍 Glad you managed to catch some light 🌞
Thanks very much Rhonda, really enjoyed shooting there. The drone in the forest can be a bit tricky but it really does look nice if you manage to get it right, agreed the light makes all the difference. Thanks so much for your support :)
Thank you Daniel for taking the time to shoot these blogs. They inspire me to go out and take a few frames myself later today.
That is the nicest compliment Nigel, thank you so much ! It can be really hard going doing these and you do get moments where you wonder if you should keep going but it’s comments like that which really energise me to carry on, thank you !
Absolutely stunning images Dan. Your photographic skills really shine through in this episode. Very well done.
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you so much David. It’s always so valued when it comes from someone who’s work you admire and enjoy so much. Thank you
Another cracking Vlog Daniel. The effort you put in makes these films so enjoyable to watch. Especially love the 'low-level' drone footage - adds a whole new dimension to the films. Much appreciated, Andy
Thank you so much Andy, it’s very hard when you’re starting out on here so when I get a really nice comment like that from someone who has been so supporting it really makes it so worthwhile. I’m so pleased you enjoy it ! Thank you Andy
Another lovely vlog Daniel, a wonderful location too 😀
Thank you so much for watching Filly & Paul ! I really do appreciate it so much! It’s a cracking little forest that one, usually flowers a lot more by this time of year but I think the frosts have slowed things down a bit
What do you do on a Bank Holiday when the weather is grim.... make a cuppa and watch Daniel. You have a lovely collection of new RF glass to go with your new camera, I’m still using the adapter and my old EF glass at the moment. How do you rate the 24-105 lens? Is it sharper than the old EF 24-105? Happy Bank Holiday and thanks for entertaining me!
Happy bank holiday Jennie ! And thanks for watching. The RF glass is absolutely amazing, and the 24-105 is way sharper than the old EF glass, I would absolutely recommend getting it as it’s well worth the price IMO. The 15-35 F2.8 is good but personally I’d by the F4 version now and save yourself a lot of money and weight, it wasn’t out back then so I had to go for the F2.8 but now I’d absolutely go the other way. I’d love the 100-500 to complete the set but it’s huge money so the EF 100-400 will have to do for the time being !
@@DanielWretham appreciate your feedback Daniel. I have been holding back thinking they would release 24-70f/4 as I was concerned the 24-105 would not be very sharp. It is an expensive game this business of photography! You should get writing to Santa early to see if he can drop off the 100-500 lens. I’ve not used it but one of my friends have it and loves it. Thank you for responding it is really appreciated.
@@jenniejudd834 if you’re local to me (poole) you’re very welcome to try out the 24-105 and see how you get on, if not rent one for the weekend and try it, but I’m pretty sure you will want one it’s superb !
@@DanielWretham that is most kind of you Daniel. I live in Wales which is a bit of a trek, but I think your suggestion to hire one is a great one 🙂
Ahhhhh so lucky to live there !! It’s one of my favourite playgrounds, the brecons, Pembrokeshire and snowdonia are simply stunning !! I usually go there every year as a present to myself as I just love the scenery so much !
Such lovely video and photos, Daniel. I loved seeing the light shining on the blooms♥️ wild garlic is not native here but it grows here anyway. Some people try to just pull it to keep it from growing further. My opinion is, it is beautiful and tastes great. I would be fine with fields of it😊. As always I appreciate learning more photography tips from such a wonderful photography. Really appreciate the time you take in these videos.
Thanks so much Tara, always appreciate you taking time to watch and comment ! Wild garlic is lovely, I wish it flowed for longer, I absolutely love the smell of it too in hot sun !
Great Video. With work commitments, I rarely get chance to get out to find these places. Is this close to a well known ruin? I've been doing online google map searches etc. Believe I've narrowed it down but not convinced.
I know the feeling James, I’ve been so busy with work recently that getting out once in a month was reality :/ hang on in there ! And you are on the right track ! Thanks so much for watching
@@DanielWretham Ah Ha, Looks like my evenings pressed up against my laptop may have paid off! Hoping I can get out next weekend. Thankyou
@@abacab1701 never underestimate the power of research, or even going for a drive ! I will go out walking when the weathers bad and I can’t shoot, you will be amazed what you can find ! Good luck 🤞
@@DanielWretham Great Advice. Top Man.
@@abacab1701 thanks James :)
Well done dear🌺🌺☺️ How are you doing?
Thanks very much Irena, I’m doing well thanks, how are you ?
@@DanielWretham I am fine thanks🌺
Dorsetshire Gap?
Hi Robin, funny enough that was somewhere I wanted to get to this year but never made it ! So good guess but this one is south coast. Thanks very much for watching
@@DanielWretham it's a special place. glad you got some nice images 👍🏻
@@robinlee7531 thanks very much Robin, really appreciate it
