As someone who lives in Washington State, I really appreciated this video. I love those gray or rainy days! Hope your health recovery continues.

Fantastic video! It’s “something special” to see you outside in the wild, again, so full of your passionate love for nature and wildlife! Thanks for sharing creating this awesome video. So many people avoid “bad weather”. I agree that it’s a great time to get outside to photograph! The giant soft box in the sky lowers contrast and really makes it possible to get more even lighting.

Def agree with you. To this day one of my favorite pictures i took was a Great Horn Owl (Mom) in the rain covering her babies.Great to see you out and doing what you love!

Glad to see a video from you when ever it works for you. Take care of yourself first and don't worry we will be here when your videos come!

[mstorey]

Wonderful video! So glad you are out and doing what you do so masterfully! Thankful for your continued recovery. My prayers are with you and your healthcare team.

Great to see you out and about, Scott! You're looking good! I enjoyed this video. The type and quality of lighting in less than ideal weather conditions can make for some great images. Thanks for the clothing and gear tips as well!

I'm glad to hear you are recovering well and doing what love the most - being out there with nature ! Warm regards from a fan of your work from Brazil. Continue the fantastic work. 😀

Crazy how the bad weather can turn photos into something magical. Rules were ment to be broken. Im glad to hear you are recovering well. God bless you brother. Keep up the good work.

Great to see you get out there Scott. Some useful tips for wet and muddy conditions, and loved your eagle shot 🦅

[AC-xhwr]

Wonderful video. So very different and refreshing. It’s great to break rules and do your own thing, as that way your images are unique to your own style and imagination. You are very relaxing to listen to. I find your videos incredibly therapeutic as well as informative. Thank you (Amanda, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿) ps your close up front full on photo of that eagle’s head is AWESOME! Love it! ❤

It's good to see you out, about, and doing well. Nothing better for recovery !! And those images, crazy good ! Thanks for sharing, it's now got me thinking outside "my"

[royparkes]

Awesome image of that soaked eagles head…….love it👌- good luck with the health & hope the progress continues🙏🏻

[stuartblink]

Great stuff. Really inspiring video. Some of my personal favourite shots this year are Pine Marten in the rain. It’s one of the few time I was desperate for more rain. Living in Scotland I get plenty of rain and bad weather- your video is encouraging me to look it as a blessing rather than a curse.

[tomhendron]

Marvelous video, Scott. I'm now planning on "breaking the rules", getting out in great light and not so nice weather, getting low, eyelevel with my subjects, and producing images I am not currently making. Thanks for the inspiration and pep talk... gonna do it! All the best to you, stay healthy and strong in all you do!!!

[dansouth]

This is fantastic stuff! Good to see you out there! Thanks for sharing this great info!!

[tonywiseman]

Back in nature sure can heal mind and body. Looks like you've got your mojo back.

[stevewhiteley]

Really enjoyed this thanks and good to see you out and about and hopefully feeling better. A tough place to operate but spectacular results.

[Rudy.Pohl.Ottawa]

Thanks for such a practical and inspiring "how to" video, Scott. It's just fabulous!!! I love all your videos and am really happy to see you back at it.

[randyschwager]

Fantastic video filled with valuable information! Great to see you and thanks for taking me along!!

[brucegraner]

Good to see you out there running that shutter. Really nice eagle images and your advice on the advantages of shooting in the rain and rain gear is much appreciated.
