Hope your heel eases soon, and thank you for more great perspectives on what you see in your photographs Sir.

Another great video John.I like the introduction of some photography tips, which for myself being a budding 67year old hobbyist photographer I really appreciate. I always enjoy your composition explanations in all your videos ,especially woodland photography. Any time I visit my local woodland I just tend to see clutter in front of me and struggle to find what could be a good composition. Keep up the great work.Look forward to your next video. .

Thank you! I'm planning a few more "tips" style videos over the coming weeks.

Thanks for another engaging video, John. I hope the heel heals up soon. It’s always soul-feeding to accompany you on these excursions. A nice addition to my Easter Sunday!

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

Thanks James! Heel is a bit better now thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a lovely Easter Sunday

@jamesvoiss7122 3 месяца назад

Thanks. I forgot to mention the three tips. I like how practical they are. The way you shared them early and then flagged them throughout the video when they applied is a great technique. It helps me see the application more clearly and how I might apply it in my own shoots. Great idea!

Great to see your images from this location, despite your bad foot - hope it improves soon. The shot of the forest with the moss-covered elephant around the 09:50 mark was outstanding - it reminded me of the moss-covered walls along the "Dark Mile" - the road between Clunes and the Eas Chia-Aig Waterfalls near the outflow of Loch Arkaig.

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

It's feeling a lot better now thanks. I've never been to the Eas Chia-Aig falls. Planning a trip there next time i'm in the area

You got very tricky lighting, John, the Mist just lifts the woodland tremendously giving depth,

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

Yeh it was very challenging! In the 5 minutes from the end of the video to the car I had more sunshine, some rain then a hail shower!

@chasbell4510 3 месяца назад

Hope your heel gets better soon. Thanks for a very informative video, I was shooting in the wooded area of my local park when I saw light coming through the trees so turned round to take the shot and a dog walker was coming from the opposite direction who thought I was waiting for my dog but I have never owned one.

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

Thanks Chas. It's a lot better today so hopefully on the mend again. Hope you got some nice shots in the woods!

Great video again John hope your foot gets better soon 👍👍

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

thanks mate. Seems a lot better now, but taking it easy for the next few days just in case.

Just back from a weeks holiday so catching up on YT. Great tips John. Woodland has always been a struggle for me. They say practice makes perfect but I don't seem to get any better 😄

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 2 месяца назад

Thanks Garry! Hope you had a great time!

@garrysugdenphotography 2 месяца назад

@@JohnMcKennaPhotography Certainly did. It was a great holiday but some challenging conditions for photography!

Three Pro tips for Woodland Photography: 1- Wait for it to stop raining 2-Go to the woods 3-Take photies of trees 😊😂🤣 More seriously the three things I look for are: light and/or structure and/or texture, which is pretty much what you said, all three is probably just messy. I have to say that I find the straight trunked Scots pines that we have in our local forests pretty uninspiring. There's got to a really strong element to get me to get the camera out, an obvious focal point.

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

I might nick those three for the next video!

@ashstubbings2603 3 месяца назад

Hi John and thanks for the video. Surely though, you could've just described the weather as 'Scottish'? 😂😂 Someone once said to me, before I visited Scotland for the first time, "If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes!" 😂😂

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

haha. very true! what I didn't include in the video is just before I got to the car a hail storm started! Wild day, but, as you say, Scottish! :)

John I hope your heel gets better before you attempt the West Highland Way. Enjoyed the video though.

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

Thanks Malcolm! Feeling a lot better today, so fingers crossed it's on the mend

Annoying!! just hit the comment by mistake, I really like your processing, quite contrasty, did you happen to be a Fuji Velvia shooter, I used to love it and still to this day try to emulate the feel in post-processing. Hope yor heel gets better, it can be really debilitating.

@JohnMcKennaPhotography 3 месяца назад

I was a velvia shooter! Loved the saturation and contrast it gave. I've never made that connection before, that must have been why i liked that film and also why i edit the way i do!

@douglasritchie2836 3 месяца назад

But the beauty now is with Digital we have much more dynamic range, remember Velvia if you weren't spot on with the exposure the Blacks were Black and the highlights were blown, but you certainly got a good grounding in exposure.@@JohnMcKennaPhotography
