You Should Print Your Photos! Heres Why and How... Simon Baxter 2024-01-15 | Printing your photographs is extremely rewarding. It can be expensive, time consuming, and sometimes frustrating, but it's one the best investments you can make in a quest to improve your photography. The vast array of textures, colours, and complex details make woodland a very special and fascinating environment to photograph. Those qualities are begging to be printed!In this episode I print one of my favourite woodland images from autumn 2022 and a magical hoar frost image from December 2022. Although I cover some practical details, this video is about WHY you should print.

It was worth the 5 Year wait! (with @ThomasHeatonPhoto and Krampus) Simon Baxter 2023-12-18 | ► Trees For Life Calendartreesforlife.org.uk/product/order-2024-scotlands-wild-forest-calendarTom and I ventured out on a cold and windy morning in December 2018 in the hope of photographing trees in the drama of a snowy blizzard. It wasn't to be, so we archived the footage with the intention of returning one day. 5 years later and a last minute decision to meet-up, and we were rewarded with a stunning morning of frost, snow, fog, and an eerie, enveloping stillness.Follow Tom: @ThomasHeatonPhoto Thanks to @thewhitbyphotographer for the Krampus Run footage.► MY BOOK, Gathering Timehttps://baxter.photos/shop/gathering-time► My Glovesphotographygloves.com/?rfsn=2172814.c9e4a0► SUPPORT the production of more videos and projectshttps://baxter.photos/support/► USEFUL LINKSMy Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Newsletter: https://baxter.photos/newsletter/► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: fm.pxf.io/c/1932103/1347628/16252🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell #landscapephotography #krampus #winter
No Mist? No Problem! - Woodland Photography Inspiration Simon Baxter 2023-11-06 | ► 2024 Calendar with Trees for Life: treesforlife.org.uk/product/order-2024-scotlands-wild-forest-calendarDon't get me wrong, good woodland photography in clear conditions isn't what you would call 'easy', but that also depends upon your expectations and what you're trying to achieve. Most of us crave mist, but the truth is that many photographers rarely get to experience its magic in their local woodland. Although the hit rate is lower, some of my all time favourite woodland/tree images are without mist or fog - probably because their strength has been heavily weighted towards composition and subtlety, rather than conditions and wow factor.

A Great End to my Photography in Wales Simon Baxter 2023-09-25 | The conditions don't have to be magical to find great scenes to photograph in a temperate rainforest, but I do like to be wet. The rich diversity of bryophytes and epiphytes are there exactly because of the rain, humidity, and clean air. That richness comes to life when everything is dripping wet and glistening in the soft light. My final video from this trip was unexpectedly made during a brief wander after saying goodbye to Ben. I'd only intended to scout, but I grabbed my gear to enjoy a couple of hours of filming and woodland photography. I'm so glad that I did!Don't miss other episodes from this series:Episode 1: youtu.be/GAJYi82ZIeEEpisode 2: youtu.be/17yD038-i_gEpisode 3: youtu.be/M-8ARFY01FY--------------------► MY BOOK, Gathering Timehttps://baxter.photos/shop/gathering-time► SUPPORT the production of more videos and projectshttps://baxter.photos/support/► USEFUL LINKSMy Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Newsletter: https://baxter.photos/newsletter/► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: fm.pxf.io/c/1932103/1347628/16252🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell #landscapephotography #woodlandphotography #rainforest

These Trees are Enchanted | Summer Woodland Photography Simon Baxter 2023-08-28 | There's nothing I love more than photographing somewhere new - discovering new trees, teasing out compositions, and feeling the excitement boil up inside. Episode 1 from my recent trip to photograph more of the Atlantic Rainforests of Great Britain. Despite the lacklustre conditions for woodland photography, I had a wonderful time exploring these magical pockets of oak woodland.

How Photographers Think (feat. Joe Cornish & Simon Baxter) Simon Baxter 2023-07-23 | Some unseen footage from the wonderful Woodland Sanctuary exhibition which launched 1 year ago. It was undoubtedly a highlight of my photography career so I'm very pleased to share some more insightful discussion between Joe Cornish and I.There's been lots of questions about camera gear and the picture frames, so here's a brief overview:The oldest print in the exhibition was Passing Through, which I made in January 2016 on a Sony A7ii 24 MP mirrorless camera.Most of the other photos by me were made with a Sony A7Riii mirrorless 42MP camera and 24-70mm GM Sony lens.Joe had also used the A7Riii, but many of his images were made with the Phase One 150MP digital back.When viewed at the intended viewing distance, all the prints looked fantastically together.The prints weren't glazed which allowed the detail and colour to really shine. The frames were custom made using solid ash wood. Materials were kept to a minimum. A smooth matt cotton paper was used throughout.Did you miss the other Woodland Sanctuary episodes?

Woodland Photography with the 150MP Phase One XT Simon Baxter 2022-11-20 | One of the best things about a good quality woodland is the fascinating combinations of everchanging colours, textures, light, and shadow. The detail is so beautifully intricate that a high-resolution camera is ideal for capturing the intricacies and then rendering them in print. I was delighted when Phase One offered to lend me their XT system for several weeks, so I put it to good use in my local woodland. The conditions were less than favourable but woodland photography never fails to be enjoyable. The first images shown were made last month and I've blended these into more recent work to highlight the seasonal changes. 🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell ► PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKS & PRINTShttps://baxter.photos/shop/► SUPPORT the production of more videoshttps://baxter.photos/support/► USEFUL LINKSMy Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Newsletter: https://baxter.photos/newsletter/► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: fm.pxf.io/c/1932103/1347628/16252#woodland #photography #phaseone

Woodland Photography - Short walk, BIG Rewards Simon Baxter 2022-09-24 | I can't quite believe that this is my first on location video since January! Where has this year gone? I'm one of those people that has to give each project 100% and so the Woodland Sanctuary exhibition swallowed up my time and energy this year, but it's given me inspiration and motivation for the coming seasons.

Join me as we explore a small but wonderful woodland, find a magnificent oak tree, and chat about some compositions.

Woodland Sanctuary with Simon Baxter & Joe Cornish Simon Baxter 2022-06-26 | Sit back, relax and escape to my local woodlands. Woodland Sanctuary is a joint exhibition between myself and Joe Cornish. The work was gathered over the last 6 years, all of it within the North York Moors National Park.

I've decided to share it online so that it can be enjoyed by all.The exhibition consists of 9 themes which reflect the preoccupations and imaginative journeys of the photographers during their time in the woods. The images reflect the intense experience of studying trees in all weather conditions and all times of year.There will be a series of events starting on the 16th July including exhibition tours & talks, guest presentations and a special in conversation evening on the 23rd July.Limited tickets are available from here:https://baxter.photos/woodland-photography-exhibition-event/Guests include:@seantuck @LucyLapwing Mark LittlejohnDavid WardFor those of you who can make it, we very much look forward to seeing you there!

I'd inadvertently written the content for a video, so here it is. I often look back to see a way forward or to simply reminisce and rediscover my woodland photography.

How a Hidden World Changed my Photography - The WOOD WIDE WEB Simon Baxter 2022-01-29 | I bought a book in 2016 which completely altered my perception of trees and how I interpret them with a camera. In this episode, I'm delighted to share some of what I've learnt and how that has influenced my woodland photography in recent years. It turns out that trees talk through a complex underground network of fungal threads!

Autumn Woodland Photography - Be Prepared Simon Baxter 2021-09-12 | 🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell Just when I thought I'd covered every oak woodland in my local area, I was granted access to a private area of wonderful trees which grace a hillside above the babble of a beck. I adore exploring new locations and in this episode I take you along for my very first visit to a small woodland that's bursting with promise.I need to invest a lot more time here but I certainly feel like I've already uncovered some great potential. Although one or two of the images shown in this video are pleasing as they are, I can see that this woodland is going to offer a lot more over the coming months and years.

Weird & Wonderful in Woodland Photography Simon Baxter 2021-08-22 | 🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell Woodland photography is always full of surprises but some of my recent surprises have been the most freaky but utterly fascinating. Woodlands are such curious places and the curious mind will never stop learning, discovering and finding fulfilment in the smallest of details. Developing my knowledge about oak trees has led me to look at ecology, birds and now mycology. I'll never be an expert in those fields but it sure adds to the experience of woodland photography and enriches both the creative process and output. ► SUPPORT the production of more videos: https://baxter.photos/support/► LIMITED EDITION Box Set of 12 Prints: https://baxter.photos/shop/box-set-local/► USEFUL LINKSPrints & Workshops: https://baxter.photos/My Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/cAy2rv► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: http://share.mscbd.fm/baxterphotos► SOCIAL PROFILESInstagram: instagram.com/baxter.photosTwitter: twitter.com/simonbaxterFacebook: facebook.com/SimonBaxterPhotography#Woodland #Photography #Weird

Weird & Wonderful Nature with Lucy Lapwing Simon Baxter 2021-07-10 | My own journey through woodland photography continues to be enriched as I begin to learn more about the trees, their significance and the habitat they support. However, the deeper I dive, the more I realise how little I know about these wonderful places. @LucyLapwing joins me for a fun and fascinating episode where we explore my favourite local woodland, wild camp and look beyond the aesthetic. Lucy shares her knowledge and love for all things nature which is not only inspiring but has galvanised my own belief that a deeper understanding can inform our creative choices, helps us to see more, appreciate the smallest of details, and make moments in photography even more special.

Photographing Woodland in Summer - Advice and Inspiration Simon Baxter 2021-06-13 | It's that time of year when spring is almost at an end and some photographer's start to shy away from woodland as the vibrant green cloak of summer begins to engulf the overstory and understory. Personally, I very much enjoy June and the feelings of vitality and softness it brings. Historically, I favoured the wet and murky days of summer but I'm spending a lot more time embracing the warming sunlight, clear dry days, and the challenges they may bring. After over a week out of action, this was a great evening wander in my project oak woodland. Good exercise, beautiful surrounding, fun times for Meg, successful compositions and new potential discovered. When woodland photography is your passion, it's very much an all the year round pursuit. I hope you enjoy this episode and find some value in the discussions around composition and light.Custard!► LIMITED EDITION Box Set of 12 Prints: https://baxter.photos/shop/box-set-local/► SUPPORT the production of more videos through: patreon.com/simonbaxter🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell ► USEFUL LINKSPrints & Workshops: https://baxter.photos/My Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Donate: https://baxter.photos/donateNewsletter: http://eepurl.com/cAy2rv► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: http://share.mscbd.fm/baxterphotosMusic used in this video:'Centre' by Will Pearce'Letting Go' by Carolino'Polaris' by Jordan Critz'World to Ourselves' by By The Coast► SOCIAL PROFILESInstagram: instagram.com/baxter.photos/Facebook: facebook.com/SimonBaxterPhotographyFollow MEG: instagram.com/meginthewoods#WoodlandPhotography #Summer #Custard
Should You Enter Photography Competitions? Simon Baxter 2021-05-30 | After recently being asked by a friend to help spread the word of their new landscape photography competition, it prompted me to think about competitions as a whole and share my thoughts - my past experiences of them, their advantages, pitfalls, and some of the things to consider when deciding if you should enter and what images you might select. Some photographers have a very relaxed approach to competitions, while others take the results to heart.

Spring is Great for Evening Woodland Photography Simon Baxter 2021-05-14 | One of the greatest pleasures of being a landscape photographer is being at one with nature as the sun rises and mist dances through the trees. However, often overlooked are the delights of finishing your day in the woods as the light dwindles, the birds sing and the light takes on a new feeling against the emerging foliage and the cool dry bark. I love the springtime for late evening wanders, so here's some insights and images from my recent woodland explorations.► LIMITED EDITION BOX SET of 12 Prints: https://baxter.photos/shop/box-set-local/► SUPPORT THROUGH PATREON: patreon.com/simonbaxter🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell ► USEFUL LINKSPrints & Workshops: https://baxter.photos/My Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Donate: https://baxter.photos/donateNewsletter: http://eepurl.com/cAy2rv► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: http://share.mscbd.fm/baxterphotosMusic used in this video:'Never Stop' by Tyler Brown Williams'Letting Go' by Carolino'World to Ourselves' by By The Coast'Compass' by Analog Heart► SOCIAL PROFILESInstagram: instagram.com/baxter.photos/Facebook: facebook.com/SimonBaxterPhotographyFollow MEG: instagram.com/meginthewoods#Spring #WoodlandPhotography #LandscapePhotography

How I Prepare for Photography in Spring Simon Baxter 2021-04-11 | I've been itching for the spring flowers to bloom and the woodlands to be alive with birdsong, so I thought I'd make a quick video talking about how I prepare for spring woodland photography. Looking back at some of last year's scouting work, I remind myself of the compositions I'd like to work on, and use some mapping tools to help plan this year's work. I've always been an advocate of this long-term view of creating meaningful photographs of my local woodlands, but being fluid and instinctive always plays an important role too. ► LIMITED EDITION BOX SET of 12 Prints: https://baxter.photos/shop/box-set-local/► SUPPORT THROUGH PATREON: patreon.com/simonbaxterTools in the video:Google Photos: google.com/intl/en_uk/photos/aboutGoogle My Maps: google.co.uk/maps/about/mymaps🔔 Please subscribe and click the notification bell ► USEFUL LINKSPrints & Workshops: https://baxter.photos/My Gear: https://baxter.photos/my-gear/Donate: https://baxter.photos/donateNewsletter: http://eepurl.com/cAy2rv► MUSICGet the BEST music for your videos here: http://share.mscbd.fm/baxterphotosMusic used in this video:'Celestial' by Moncrief'Better Than This' by Chptrs► SOCIAL PROFILESInstagram: instagram.com/baxter.photos/Facebook: facebook.com/SimonBaxterPhotographyFollow MEG: instagram.com/meginthewoods#Spring #LandscapePhotography #WoodlandPhotography
Photographing Woodland Waterfalls - Advice & Scouting Simon Baxter 2021-03-21 | In my previous episode I mentioned that I wanted to scout the beck (stream) which tumbles down a rock valley below the ancient oak trees of this wonderful woodland.

Why a Photography Project is Important Simon Baxter 2021-02-27 | I've just realised that it's been almost 4 years since I first visited this woodland and then I left it alone until December 2020. I must have been mad to leave it for so long! In reality, I'm fortunate to have rediscovered this place at just the right time - a time that I'm in a better position to do it justice and at a time that I need a challenging woodland photography project to dig my teeth into. Here's some of my current thoughts on the importance of projects, but it will be interesting to see how things develop over the coming months and years. With the right approach, I believe that a project could improve many aspects of your photography, including enjoyment, creative fulfilment, personal expression, and as a means of finding your own voice.

Winter Photography in a Private Ancient Woodland Simon Baxter 2021-01-10 | The first snowfall of the winter and I decided to have a brief wander in a private woodland of ancient oak trees - some of which will be around 700 years old. The flat grey light and limited time made things a little challenging but that's always part of the fun and I learnt a lot about the location that will help me on future visits. I'm very fortunate to have access to this woodland for my photography, which is something that I also talk about in this episode. Expect future videos from this location as I'm sure it has some delights to offer. I've also included a quick preview of some photos I made during my first ever visit to another local woodland recently. Despite my lack of knowledge of the area, it was a productive afternoon in conditions that were well suited to the location's species and character.JUST LAUNCHED 18/1/21 - Become a Patron: patreon.com/simonbaxter10% OFF Shimoda bags.

Woodland Photography - A Poetic Approach Simon Baxter 2020-12-27 | Much like the concept I introduced to you last year when I talked about the thought process of not looking for trees when photographing woodland - Poetry is a metaphor that I like to use which describes our sensitivity to the expressions of trees and relationships within woodland. In this video I introduce this metaphor and thought process, and how I use it to help facilitate the process of constructing compositions in woodland with meaning, flow and rhythm.Follow Sarah Tucker on Instagram: instagram.com/sarahjtuck10% OFF Shimoda bags.

Landscape Photography - Success with Repeat Visits Simon Baxter 2020-11-29 | I was a little concerned as I wandered around an unfamiliar area of moorland with the sun quickly rising and no composition in mind. I yomped around through the thick heather, looking for something that I could work with under the conditions. It was getting a bit late by the time I found a fabulous tree but what a find it was. I'm getting to know the tree quite well now and I'm determined to make a wintry photograph that showcases it in all its delicate and cascading glory. When limited to your local landscape for photography, a healthy dose of determination makes a big difference. I think my results improved with each visit and my interpretation of the tree changed with the conditions and as I familiarised myself the details of the tree.10% OFF Shimoda bags.

The Joys & Hazards of Photography Simon Baxter 2020-11-22 | As much I loved my woodland photography under a blue sky last week, you just can't beat a tranquil late autumn local woodland in the mist and fog. My videos are predominantly filmed in nearby woodlands as it's what I've been passionate about for years. I first found this particular oak wood over 3.5 years ago and I don't think I'll ever tire of spending time here - I learn something about the landscape, the seasons, and the subjects with every single visit.The fog didn't hang around for long but it was fun while it lasted.
