    Of all the woodland photography TH-cam films I have seen over the past few years, this is probably the only one you need to watch - well planned with a tight structure, making the points economically without extraneous content and with good examples of photographs to reinforce the message. Much better to inspire people to go out and visit woodlands with their camera than many of the over long and aimless wandering I see in some other similar subject content - excellent stuff Nigel.

    Great video, love the tips and the amazing photos. Live shooting into the sun 👍👍 also like the idea of going back to the same area several times to see different composition ideas, tendencies here seems to always pursue new places. Thx for sharing

    I think I've hit the jackpot with this video, Cannock chase is my local woods, I was walking around yesterday looking for compositions and thinking what would nigel danson look for, and now I've come across this video Wow incredible thankyou so much

    I find woodland photography really difficult. I think that's because there's rarely an obvious subject to focus on, you have to look for really subtle aspects in the landscape. I often find most things look 'boring' on location, but when isolated, framed and post-processed, you can make simple images look nice. Great video!

    I've just started photography about 2 months ago and I've just been learning so much from all your videos, Nigel. I watch one or two every morning with my coffee. Your content I find is very informative and just really relaxing and cozy to watch at the same time. Your contentment and passion for your life really shines through and I think that makes a great basis for teaching. Thanks for your work, mate :D

      I get that same feeling from his videos, he's so calm (unlike me) and I feel that I am just listening to an experienced friend talking about photography. I've learned a lot from Nigel's videos, and he always inspires me to get out and look for a photo opportunity.

    Oh I am green with envy. Devon doesn't have any woodlands like that I have found. Plenty of Ivy on the trees & woodland floor with stinging nettles and brambles. Yes I have Wistmans wood but that is so very different. Fog never seems to turn up on a weekend, very inconsiderate. I will continue my search. I love the photo with the Oak, mist at 13.56 is spectacular.

I came your across your channel and have been binge watching it! You make me really excited to get back out there😊😊 thank you so much!

    Nigel's tutorials are like accompanying him on one of his "journeys." The addition of his lovely music choices as well as his very soothing voice, reinforces the peaceful elements he brings to his compositions. After watching, I feel deeply renewed and calm. AND much more knowledgeable about photographing and editing woodlands.

    Possibly the best Woodland video you have ever put up, As Trevor Pollard said in the previous comment so well structured and the images were just stunning, I think that particular Woodland was just magical for compositions of real quality, but most peoples local venues are not so inspiring, thats why we find this type of Photography very difficult, and you make it look easy because you are a professional and it shows, regards, Colin.

    The 5 day deal is a wonderful initiative. The downloads took some time but went very smoothly. I’m learning so much as I work through the material. Great value. Thanks to the whole team and contributors who put this together.
    I recently took a woodland photo into the sun with shafts of light coming down through the trees. I think it’s one of my best photos ever. Having watched this video I now understand why it turned out well!
