Another great Vlog Darren, its great to see how much you are enjoying yourself, your images wildlife and landscape are top draw, always look forward to the vlogs coming out, always well presented, thank you for sharing your experiences with us, till next time stay safe, 🍻🍻
@@DarrenKnightPhoto Thanks Darren for remembering means a lot, 5 weeks in now, 3 more to go the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer, the side effects have made it to hard to get out early doors and the afternoons are not producing a lot, but at least i have plenty of time to watch all you great TH-cams out there, keep them coming, much appreciated Baz 👍👍🙏🙏🍻🍻🥂
Another top video Darren. The images of the small birds in the reeds just shows you don’t have to always get close up and personal but the environment the birds are in is just as important to show. Cheers Keith
@@DarrenKnightPhoto definitely not reed bunting they are quite different. I am not good with the Warblers as there are several that look similar but I think you are probably right with Reed Warbler or it could be Cetti's Warbler. I would probably go for Reed Warbler.
O deer!! What a first shot - first the owl - now this little fella - they all like you!! Nice shots throughout - worth the early start. Thanks Darren - have a good week 👍📷👌
Morning Gordon, I’m finding it very rewarding and I’m sure you will also. Plus you don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn either. I’ve just set tomorrow’s alarm for 2am as I’m heading to Suffolk for a landscape shoot. I’ve not missed that! 😉 Take care bud and have a great weekend
Morning Heather, The light was beautiful on the 2nd day and we had quite a lot of mist over a fortnight or so. Needless to say I made the most of it when ever possible. 😃 Take care and I hope you’re well 👋👋
Another wildlife vlog with you smiling, your enjoyment is so obvious. Such wonderful images, there was a couple there that I thought “Constable” just had that look to me, thanks for sharing & take care
Lovely video and made me really miss sunrises at Wicken Fen. Only ever been in the afternoon since lockdown... Also saw your old Mobility scooter video 😆 had us rolling in laughter 🤗 Have a great week! x
I love Wicken at Sunrise. The dawn chorus just before you reach the visitor centre is so loud isn’t it. It really is amazing. Ahh, yes, I do keep forgetting that that video is still on TH-cam 😉 Have a lovey week V 👋👋
Darren Knight Photo Thank you 😊 Keep it there, makes a fun attribute in your video collection. I didn’t realise how many videos you have created. Great inspiration 👌
Morning Burt, The fens are great with a little atmosphere. Luckily we went through a patch where we had plenty of mist for around a month on and off. Take care bud and I hope you guys are well 🍺
Beautiful pics, landscape and wildlife. You live close to one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. I guess I'll just have to put up with the lochs, glens and mountains.
Loved the video,especially the deer encounter with the resulting shots...day 2's images really stood out,what amazing light and atmosphere you got! Keep these coming,I enjoy seeing what you find!
Another really nice video Darren. I'm glad that you haven't given up on wildlife photography, some of your photos are amazing. I live on a lake and I have to agree that early mornings can be almost surreal. Sometimes I just go sit by the lake with a cup of coffee and just kind of watch and listen to the world waking up. I think it's the best time of day🤗
That sounds amazing Pete. I’d do exactly the same if I was you. A lake, some mist and a coffee sounds like heaven. Take care matey and thanks for the wonderful scene you’ve painted in my head 👍
Lovely shots of the Konik Ponies mate. How can you not enjoy the Fens with scenery and wildlife like this on your doorstep. I'm pleased you've seen the light at last.....although I know at the first opportunity you'll be straight back up a mountain in Snowdonia!
Some stunners there’s matey. That looks like a cracking spot mate, that’s noise of the birds is really powerful! I love that almost defining noise when I’m in the woods
I have been racking my bean about your vlog voice overs it reminded me of some one before I reveal who very nice sedate vlog the light is superb the dear image was great now for the reveal you have the voice tonal range of Jack Hargreaves memories of my youth well done keep on blogging 👍
If there is one good thing to come from lockdown it's the new skills & interests we have taken up, for that the world is a richer place. I love your landscape photography, now mixing it with wildlife adds an extra dimension, and I love it. Great photos are nice but how we get the shot can make them memorable. Lovely Film.
You are so lucky to have this in the neighborhood. I would kill to have a nature reserve or fen land this close to home. By the way, love your voice over wildlife photography videos.
Another great video Darren and photographs. Perhaps don’t mention beef when your in the same field I believe it has the opposite effect to shouting mint sauce at sheep. 🤣🤣🤣👍
Morning Andy, To say you’d like longer videos is a huge compliment, thank you. It’s always hard to judge the length of a video as I try to reduce the filler as much as possible. Videos that are 80% filler are a tad boring at times, but I’ll see if I can extend mine and still make them interesting Cheers bud 🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto mate I don't think boring is in your vocabulary. stay safe and thank you, if you ever fancy doing a wildlife shoot over in Canada give me a shout free accommodation etc.
Morning Andy, I’m not the best flyer in the world but Canada is one of the countries that would temp me to do a long haul flight. Thank you for your generous offer sir. 🍺
I'm glad to see you're still enjoying your journey in to wildlife photography. I'm no good at wildlife photography, but I've enjoyed the change in my experiences as I now also listen when I go out with my camera to get an idea what's around. This seems to pull me in to the environment and makes me feel a part of it. Love it!
This vlog was so relaxing to watch, thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful atmospheric shots, loved it. Hopefully we will see a lot more wildlife vlogs as well as landscape. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video... For a landscape photographer, you're really getting the knack of the wildlife perspective. Both elements are wonderful but there is something a bit more special when you put some "living" element into the landscape. Its all amazing and beautiful and our goal as photographers is to capture that image..... You're doing it very well, and thank you for sharing. It is greatly appreciated.
No thank you Toby, that’s very kind. I can’t always reply to every comment but I certainly read them and it’s comments like yours that are extremely encouraging. Have a great Sunday bud and stay safe 🍺
Wildlife photography certainly puts a different perspective on your local landscape. I enjoy the variety that is assured with wildlife but you do have to get up early and stay out late! Enjoying the wildlife videos keep it up, best wishes 👍😀
Morning Cam and I, I love sunrises but I struggle with the staying out late part. Its 5am as I type this and It’s pouring of rain here, which is shame as I wanted to go out this morning. Never mind, I’ll head out later for a good walk instead Take care bud 🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto just a bit 😅 but not complaining, the roofs on the obs have been open for 2 months solid 😃. Have you seen the comet yet? Hope you and the family are all ok.
david wills I haven’t seen it mate. I almost went out the other morning to photograph it, but that meant getting there just after midnight and as I wanted to shoot at sunrise, I thought it would be a really long day if I shot both and so I decided one had to go. Unfortunately the one that got bumped was the comet shoot. Great news about the OB’s bud 👍
What fabulous images of the dear and the birds but also your landscape images. I don’t know if you know this or not but you can book a day at the British wildlife centre were you are actually taken into the enclosures
Really enjoyed this video, you got some great shots there. I laughed when I saw you had put your shorter trousers on after the previous days shooting. Very relaxing video, thank you.
They wasn’t shorts Sharon, I’d had a growth spurt over night. It happens a lot recently, but normally on my waistline Have a great week and thanks for watching 👋
You captured the ambience very well Dazzler and fully understand it’s the moment sometimes rather than the quick dash. The final pony shot was my favourite. I wonder how you would look in full camo?
The pony shot was a tad difficult as there was so may there. I wanted to isolate 1 or 2 but with so many nose to tail, cropping was the only way. Who doesn’t love a good walk at sunrise 👍
Another good one Darren, really like the symmetry in the wind pump shot. Just wondering if you're going to need an even longer lens for those small birds (Reed Warblers ?) or do you have the scope to crop hard when necessary ? Anyway, enoyable watch mate ! 👍
Beautiful light and mist you had Darren, reminds me when I used to work on the river in the borders,those horse images were just beautiful. thanks for sharing mate, and if you have a minute check out my latest.

Superb as always Darren. Are the latter pictures natural light or are you using a filter?

No bud no filter at all. In fact it feels liberating to be shooting without filters at the moment.
All with just natural light
