A day of nature photography, with hints and tips.

Join me on a day of nature photography with hints and tips during a typical day in the life of a nature photographer. In this the video I revisit the site of a very popular recent image and provide many little hints and tip along the way. Not to mention creating three new images of which, one is truly portfolio worthy.

IMO the big difference from most other nature photography channels is how you find interesting subjects/scenes where I wouldn't have found anything. Your content is truly inspiring!

[carlarivas]

Hello Simon - one of the reasons I love your channel is that you are not like so many of the other photographers out there. You are not on the hunt for the most epic scene available. Rather, your attention to detail and calm demeanor is what I appreciate. I also value the “poo lessons.” When you allow us to see the minute beauty of Mother Nature: textures, colors, and shapes it is absolutely joyful. And I then marvel at Mother Nature’s diversity. I always tell my students to do what you are passionate about - regardless of the money. You will never be happy chasing that. Keep chasing what you love Simon.

I really enjoy your videos. The calm, the stories, the small interruptions when a bird is calling out. And especially your photos, of course! Your knack of finding great compositions in "mondane" surroundings is very inspiring to me. If you want to go overboard, please do, but I'm happy as it is. Your channel is the one I never miss!

Thomas Heaton brought me to your channel, and you Squire are an extraordinary photographer, unique and different, clam and still with peaceful delivery of Nature's wonders.. just keep doing what you're doing it's outstanding, Simon.. 👌🏽

[laurelb]

Please keep doing what you have been doing, it’s what sets you apart from other landscape photographers and I always enjoy seeing how you go about creating your images

[nickscott]

I think I'm with many of the others Simon. I love the informative walks and notes on composition and the results. Passing on your knowledge of trees, plants and wildlife is always interesting. If you do get an exceptional picture, well so much the better. Your level 3 is my exceptional one!

Hey Simon. For me personally, there is one thing that makes your channel absolutely outstanding. You remind us to appreciate what we find right at our doorsteps. Rather than hunting for ostensibly spectacular places or subject matters, you help relearning to see and cherish a more subtle beauty of nature. I don't mind a bit of repetition at all. Rather the opposite. It's a challenge that a lot of nature photographers face.

Nature is beauty and you find it everywhere from the forest floor to the treetops. Love watching your channel and have learned to take the time and look around. Discovery of the beauty in nature and how to appreciate it is one of your many strengths. Your generosity in taking us along is greatly appreciated. Experiencing your videos is always' exceptional'. If you personally feel the need to expand to more exceptional (your standards)photographs then I will be there along for the ride. Thanks for all you do.

There's not much I can add to what has already been said except do whatever brings you joy and I'm sure it will be contagious. Cheers.

I echo the comments of others who say your channel is great as it is. I especially enjoy how you notice images many of us would never notice, and how you talk through your composition. Your thought process and the high standards are at least 2 things that I learn from all the time.

[lennymcleonard]

Your videos offer constant education, whether it is your encyclopedic knowledge of flora and fauna or your delivery of the thinking behind your compositions. Keep doing what you're doing, the delivery is perfect. When the truly amazing images come along, just highlight that fact and take time to explain why.

[daryllines]

I love the way you can find shots amongst the ordinary, because that’s exactly what I aspire to do. As others have said do what you want to do, it’s your channel not ours, we just follow along

[jeffschreifels]

There are lots of 'epic' photo shoots to be seen on YouTube. I certainly enjoy them but I get far more inspiration seeing you out and about, finding compositions in the types of places I can relate to. Whenever I'm out with my camera and think there is nothing to be photographed, I think of your videos and how I need to look closer at my surroundings.

[helenafryklund]

Don't change anything. =) I follow your channel, just because of how you walk around and find beautiful photos everywhere. Especially Woodland floor pictures.

[piXiac]

There is no other channel that makes me want to grab my camera and go out and shoot like your channel Simon! It's such a unique thing, such a high motivation for me. I wait week after week for your new video, in my opinion there is no reason to change anything! Especially your local videos, where you show us how important the photographer is and not only the environment, that's what makes your videos worth it for me, I enjoy every single second of it. ❤

[bettcox]

I, like everyone else love your channel as is. It's not only informative about photography but it is also informative about nature etc. At least it is for me. I learn something new from every video I have watched, which almost all of them.

[philipnixey]

As much as I like and enjoy your eye for macro woodland composition, I miss the old days of coastal photography, and the wider compositions.

[Bearded_Donkey]

I am willing to watch whatever you want to post. I learn something regardless. Thank you for your content. I have and continue to learn a lot.

[lynnecliffe]

By your hand, the crisp richness of leaves etched on the forest floor peak as crowns of beauty.

It was a couple of years ago that Thomas Heaton highlighted your channel when you showed there were things to photograph in the summer. That video, and subsequent ones, enabled me to see more and get more out of summer outings with the camera and if I did not always come away with something, it didn’t matter. Getting out and engaging with nature was more important. I love the pace of your videos as well as your choice of subjects. Rather than move away from, say, the forest floor, or coastal floor images, maybe once in a while, look for something more elusive, say one in every four or five videos, or whatever frequency is manageable, but maintain the regular content too.
