🎥 About This Video....
In this video I ventured into the woods, not for my usual wide woodland scapes but more to find minimilstic woodland photographs. You know, close up detail photography!
It was much harder than I thought!

“No, spitting on it is no good, what if I spat a little bit less”. The refusal to give up is what I call a great commitment to the artist process. Good job!

[diannerobbins]

I laughed a little too hard when he started spitting on the plants 🤣. I’m going to try this, minus the water. Great video.

[sonvis]

Haha! That water spraying gave me a good laugh! 😄👍🏻

[paulasmith]

Going to have to re-watch as I laughed so much with your spitting exercise, couldn't hear what you had to say... All for the love of the craft! Nice one. 🤣

[SloopJohnBeeRockabilly]

Roger undoes all the Creator’s great work, making the woods ‘look good’ and even watering the shrubbery in place of rain!😂 Great presentation as ever mate 👍📸

[pauldenniss]

Love the 'keep it simple' plan

[rick-fstop-lewis]

Really liked this one. The spitting water never occurred to me. Now it's time to grab my camera and go out bush spitting...LOL

[mueslimuncher]

The water trick was well worth a thumbs up! 😂

[cnicolo]

Roger you hit the top spitting !!! I love it! Oh Boy!!! 😂😂😂

[HuginnOG]

I'd say take a small cheap spray bottle with you so you dont have to spit water all over the place 😂

[rockporttwentyseven]

@7:18 hawk tuahh that thang 😂

[filmismorefun]

Love that shot at 2:00. I always enjoy hiking in the woods and finding hidden compositions in nature.

[garychatfield]

The episode where Roger became a fountain lol. Great stuff as always mate!

[joka]

[andrewkay]

The Chinon CE5 brings back memories- I bought one circa 1990 second hand in the original box, basically your kit plus the big Chinon flash in a Dixons branded box. As a beginner that camera was ideal for learning the basics of photography. I can't remember what it cost me- less than £50 tho.
Anyway, I've been taking similar photos of leaves recently and you've given me a few ideas on how to make better photos, though I'll be taking a small spray bottle with me ;)

[toine]

Stunning video, man.
You did a heck of a job, my friend.
And very pretty pictures too.
Very inspiring video.
Antoine.

[davidottman]

Thanks for the inspiration! It's always a good day to learn something about photography.

Revival of Francis Ford Coppla's Rainmaker movie! Roger, the new Rainmaker 2024. LOL!

[Minolta_Gal]

Wonderful shots! I need to start doing stuff like this. I have plenty of woods to explore!
