There is something about light. For me it is a connection to Creator - one who made light is the Light from which all light comes. A life source. A way of being that is grounded from a place of faith in God. I know that's not where everybody is, but it is what gives depth and meaning for my own being and living. Thank you for sharing the little moments with a beautiful little spider. I did enjoy those images.
Sunlight travels to Earth for about 8 minutes. Proportions are so amazing. A tiny spider and the galaxy around it. We can only wonder what else is there and appreciate what we have here.
Hope the vlogging thing brings lots of views and likes, and is worth the time and effort. Your photography from your walking around is enjoyable to watch.
Thanks for returning to your roots, so to speak. I was first attracted to how you were always on a discovery walk, no matter where you found yourself. I really hope you can do those walks at least, once in a while. So many photographic youtubers tend to get "better" at what they do and leave their beginnings behind. Thank you very much, Kim.
It's great to hear you enjoy this style, Frank. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts. There will certainly be more videos like this again moving forward 😊🙏
I have just returned from a short spell in hospital. I am 92 and therefore am old John, but still taking photos from the age of 17. Your gift of communicating your joy of photography is a gift to cherish.
Kim, this was wonderful! Thank you for just talking to us and sharing your thoughts and perspective. Speaking for myself, it is becoming boring watching the videos of the walking away from the camera etc. I much prefer the connection of you talking as you walk and sharing. The spider portion was so awesome. It reminds me of myself and how I can find an element and spend quality time just taking the time to be not only aware but actually in the moment as you were with the spider. To connect with someone, when I am here in Oklahoma US, like yourself is the gift of YT. Thank you.
This is lovely to hear Steve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. It's lovely to hear that you enjoy this style, and it resonated with you 😊 🙏
Ah, I agree that light illuminates shiny and dark things... the sun was put there to provide light and warmth for all things to grow and thrive. One day, Kim, you will see the Creator of all of this
Love this video! It reminds me of why I love to get out into nature and simply enjoy what ever shows itself in an inspiring moment. Between you and Courtney, my inspiration into nature photography has blossomed. I upgraded from a D3S to the new Z8 and love the new features that help in making it easier to catch images , especially in Macro Photography. Keep the videos coming!
I share your delight in he light through the leaves and trees. I just get caught up in gazing at it on my walks, not always photographing it, but always filling my memory with it, which comes out later in my poetry. I probably seem eccentric at times as I just look in wonder!
I did just as you are saying this afternoon I wish you could see my shots. I call it the little image in the big image which becomes THE IMAGE You make simple incredible videos with soul and feeling Been following you for years Thank you x
@kimgrantphotography I did Your very inspiring and motivating I was in 2 .indeed wether to take the camera Your last vid popped up and I thought Kim wouldn't leave it at home, so I did t thanks x
When I think of the light I think of the idea that we are all made from the stuff of stars. I love the term that photography is painting with light. We all chase the light and sometimes sit for hours waiting for the light to be in the right spot. Birds start their dawn chorus as they sense the coming of the light.
I much prefer this vlogging style, vice the scripted overdub (although that does have its place). You seem much more engaged and, well.....happy. keep up the great work.
Thank you, Richard. I don't script my videos apart from some of the voiceovers, but I can see how the more presenting style ones may appear this way. Thanks for sharing 🙏😊
Ohh Kim, for me watching this completely feels how I feel in nature...I have no expectations when I go out to any location, especially with my current road trip in New Zealand I have seen some incredible light bringing life to trees, land and wildlife making the ordinary become extraordinary with the luminance and burst of life when mother nature's light interacts with the elements we see in nature.
Your art is wonderful and so are your vlogs, but I also want to add that you are so beautiful on so many levels! Thank you for continuing to present your world to mine/ours....
Lovely video as always, Kim. For me too, this a beautiful time of the year and has always been my favourite since childhood. The slowing down and the time to rest and perhaps a time to reflect. Happy autumn Kim.
Always so much more than just photography expertise,but deep philosophical insight how we in life are affected by light and our photography. Thank you.Also thoroughly enjoyed your book,which I just finished; a perfect example how light and words can effect our photography and life.
Thank you so much lovely video. I live in Lincolnshire the morning light today was brilliant all help by 5 swans flying by and a 100 or more wild Geese magic ❤ Sue
We have been on a 25 day dry spell, so we don't have any fungi but the leaves are starting to change more and more. It's so great to see you back! Welcome!
Welcome back, "Old Kim". Although: you don't look that old, I have to say 😉 You got some really great images with that harsh light. I made a video on my channel about how to succeed with harsh light, but it seems I would have to add Kim's intimate photography with spiders in the backlight 😊 Really nice, I like your photos! Nice greetings, Christian
So nice to see the "old Kim" back! I enjoyed your vlog snd thoughts about life and light. I have found such a delightful person to share my enthusiasm for nature and life...a positive perspective makes such a difference!
WOW Kim! Welcome back and thank you for sharing. Many folks "get out there" without actually "seeing"-a heartfelt connection with our world. The photos will follow. Looking forward to more-your joy and exuberance are wonderful.
Feeling lethargic today but watching this video has inspired me to go to my local woods and enjoy this beautiful autumn day here in south east. Have a blessed day Kim.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your adventures with us, Kim, your spirit is just indomitable 🙏

Lovely words. Thank you for sharing. It's amazing to hear how quickly sunlight takes to travel to Earth!
Hope the vlogging thing brings lots of views and likes, and is worth the time and effort. Your photography from your walking around is enjoyable to watch.
Thank you, Mike 😊 🙏

It's good to see the spark of enjoyment and contentment in your eyes once more.
From a personal and selfish perspective, I enjoy your vlogs.
I have just returned from a short spell in hospital. I am 92 and therefore am old John, but still taking photos from the age of 17.

Beautiful video Kim, good to see you back
Inspiring as always. The "old" Kim never really "left" - she just took some time to recharge herself. Nice to see you back, though.,
Lovely observation, Robert. Thank you!
Very interesting and accomplished images of the spider, my favourite is the square crop backlit showing an allmost translucent spider!😀
I share your delight in he light through the leaves and trees. I just get caught up in gazing at it on my walks, not always photographing it, but always filling my memory with it, which comes out later in my poetry. I probably seem eccentric at times as I just look in wonder!
Sounds wonderful! It is lovely to allow the time to observe and be inspired 😊🙏
Great to see the old Kim back you can't beat a good nature vlog
I did just as you are saying this afternoon
I wish you could see my shots.
I call it the little image in the big image which becomes THE IMAGE
You make simple incredible videos with soul and feeling
Been following you for years Thank you x

Thank you Kim for this ’little pocket of joy’ you’ve given us today.

Thank you, Richard. I don't script my videos apart from some of the voiceovers, but I can see how the more presenting style ones may appear this way. Thanks for sharing 🙏😊
Your interaction and fascination with the little spider really comes through the intimate photos you shared.
Thanks! Good to see you back. You seem to have more of a spark in your presentation. Keep it up.
Lovely video and place 👍
It's good you are back kim

Thank you, Christian 😊🙏
I can see the passion in your eyes for photography. Good on ya. Thanks for your content
That splitting of the sunlight spectrum on the spider web is fantastic. Need to explore the physics of what is going on here.
I think it is called diffraction. Really interesting isn't it?!
So nice to see the "old Kim" back! I enjoyed your vlog snd thoughts about life and light. I have found such a delightful person to share my enthusiasm for nature and life...a positive perspective makes such a difference!
Woods and forests have so many shades of green. Combine with light - magic happens.👍
Sehr gut, wie immer. Danke. I‘m a long time subscriber. 👍🌺🇩🇪
You inspire me Kim! Thank you!
Hi Kim , great you are back 👋 I'm pleased that you are taking about light and all it's different photographic effects ❤
WOW Kim! Welcome back and thank you for sharing. Many folks "get out there" without actually "seeing"-a heartfelt connection with our world. The photos will follow. Looking forward to more-your joy and exuberance are wonderful.
Thank you, Terry 😊🙏
