  • In this video, I explore the Forest of Dean in search of some Autumn magic! While looking to practise my woodland photography, I instead come across an abundance of fungi. Good thing I had my macro lens in my bag!
    Can you name the different species of mushroom in this video? Let me know in the comment section down below and thanks for watching!

    A GorillaPod would have been so useful for these low level shots. I have a normal tripod and a GorillaPod, and I end up using/bringing the latter a lot more than the bigger tripod.

    Your channel was recommended and I'm pleased it was. These videos are an absolute delight to watch for seasoned photographers and beginners alike. Love your presentation and your simple but effective explanation of your thought process. I admire the fact you're using a DSLR in 2023 too, that's not something you see very often here in the CZcams photography scene. I have to say though, the thing I enjoy most about your videos is your dancing. Hah.

    That buck looked like a very determined fella, I think. Your ball head incident seemed like something I might do so I paused the video to check my camera bag. I was pretty sure that my L-bracket had the wrench built in to a slot on the bracket. Found it does not and finished the video. Lovely images and the videos are very well paced and produced. Keep up the great work.

  • @loveki353
    @loveki353 Před rokem +5

    I'm a beginner who doesn't even have a tripod yet Of course, it's not enough to use a tripod yet
    But this video made me reflect on a lot of things😃 Even a professional photographer like you is lying face down in the woods to take a picture of a mushroom I would have given up if I had to take a picture in a position where my clothes were bound to get dirty😅😅
    The perspective and composition of looking at the subject is something you need to learn while taking pictures, I like your attitude toward photography very much😉👍
    If you go to Antarctica, you will dance with penguins😄

    Sigma AF 70mm f/2.8 EX DG macro - my favorite lens, ever! I was shooting with it for four years, on 5 different bodies. Until it was stolen, together with my D850 :( . Yes, it was clumsy, noisy, slow focusing, but the sharpness and colors were excelent.

    Based on your past luck with this ball head, I was ready to order one. Then I read the 1 star review by another photographer. He had the exact same problem with not being able to release his camera. So, I ordered a similar head from a different manufacturer. Suppose to be here in 2 days...wish me luck!

    I had a 77mm step up ring stuck to my 24-105mm F4L lens, it was for my Nisi square filter system. That was a pain to get unstuck, couldn't get the lens hood back on nor the lens cap until I did, thankfully in the end I got it unstuck. I know how stuck gear can mangle your plans. Good luck with the ball head & L-bracket having a forced separation. They need a restraining order!

I very much enjoy your videos and overall attitude towards photography .... you seem to be having so much fun and are not "distracted" by craving the latest and greatest gear - it IS the photographer NOT the gear that makes the photos. I sometimes drag out my old gear and marvel at how well it performs. You capture the fun and magical part of photography!

I am not sure if I will have the same issue with the new one yet. Luckily I have my Bogen as a backup if needed. Hope you got it fixed.

    The old tea towel, 101 uses - dry your hands, face, camera; drape it over the camera; put the camera on it, use it for padding.
    Basic tools - the screwdriver on a swiss army knife would probably release the arca. Folding Allen keys for a bicycle. Try to avoid getting WD40 on plastics, a drop of gun oil (high quality light machine oil).
