Woodland Landscape Photography - Composition Tips - Wistman's Wood Dartmoor / Devon

Really fine and beautiful stuff man! Some of those shots looked as if they were underwater, brilliant. I blame the INGAFFERS! ☘️💪🏽🤠👍🏽☘️

No 1 for me Simon

Hi Simon. I just found your page through Facebook. Great channel and videos. In regards to this video for me, it has to be between #3 and #5. Thanks for sharing!!

Enjoyable vlog Simon. I think out of the images at the end, I liked 1 and 5, both really nice images.

Great video. I love old woods. In answer to your question what is the best photo you've taken in Wistmans Woods? I'd say you've not yet taken your best photo of Wistmans Woods but from the 6 hmm 4? 1? 3? 6? 2? Maybe 4. Hope that helps

Great video Simon! I really like that you show what TO do, and what NOT to do. What works, and what doesn't. As far as images, I like 3 and 4 out of the 6, with 4 being my favorite. I love how the fog separates the tree from the rest of them. I took a similar photo (tree with foggy background) 3 1/2 years ago and just now realized why everyone loved that image. At the time I was just focusing and pressing a button. I always thought it was due to the ethereal look, but it was because it removed all the background clutter. It all kind of starts to make sense after a while. Thanks again!

Great video Simon. Awesome b roll you’ve done there (as always). Image 1 for me

5 for me me old fruit👍🏻 brilliant video! I love that location. I must visit again

Great video Simon. The choice of subtle background music was really fitting for this location and your B-roll effects added to the mystery of the place. Ancient woodland deserves to be respected and this was a masterclass in how to do it. I was very much inspired by your film and sorry that the conditions didn't last for you...That's photography for you!

Great video, only been to this location once myself, but remember it being a truly magical place.

Image 5 is my fav

No. 4

#4 is the best one by far for me! Great video!

wow! the weather! 😲

Simon, follow me on Instagram, so I can get in touch with you. Lucasems91

Hi Simon,

For me it’s definitely no. 4. Been down to the woods twice before and I can appreciate how difficult it is to isolate a subject there. Look forward to more of you videos.

Great video Simon Image 5 for me.

#1

Number one for me. Great colours and composition.

Very nice serie of photos, I like them all but my favourites are nr. 1, 4, and 6. Interesting channel, I'll watch more for sure.

Those transition shots around the 3 minute mark are fantastic Simon. Wistmans has this allure and draw that I need to answer and it's been fascinating seeing you visit here in the summer as so many images are captured in autumn and winter. Great work, man, subbed on this one.

Still number 1 but I liked 6 as well.

Toss up between 1 and 2. Great video btw.

6 for me

no 5 I loved the most

100% it's image 5 for me. Stunning light and colours, nicely composed, great shot

Like all of them. Amazing

No. 5 by a street mile best woodland shot great videos Simon

Shots 5 and 6 work best for me, spooky like the wood. For anyone going to Wistmans Wood I strongly suggest you count on there not being fog when it's forecast and if it is there then work fast as it can vanish in a blink. I've never had it despite multiple visits, worse still was seeing it there from the hill once and then watching the wind blow it away before I could get there. Next time.

Images 2 and 4 are excellent!

5 is stunning. My personal favourite 😀

I really like 1 4 5 and 6. Personally I think 2 and 3 are busy and too much is happening, nevertheless great shots 😊

Image 4 for sur! Great work!

Great video and pictures, for me nr 4.

#1 Is my favorite from the group.

I like number 4

My favorite is definitely number 6

My pick is 1st from over all, but love also 5 and 6, the strongest composition and mood.. Thank you for this unreal beauty!

My favourites are 5 and 1. i think I like 5 because of the colour and the diagonal and 1 because of the out of focus snow in the foreground

I like nr 5 and then 4 photo.

5

Number 5 for me, eerie and magical!

#6

I know nothing about photography but I can appreciate the effort that goes into it and how it looks so beautiful at the end, photo 5 and 6 were my favourites but they were all stunning

I love this
Eleven forest … cloud forests … a special interest of mine

I love 1 … it’s a dichotomy of darkness and luminosity.
It’s pure fey, that image.

I love six … haunting twilight light, shape and shadow. Moody elan.

1 & 6

Between 1 or 5 for me.

5 and 6 are really cool

Definitely nr 1

Wow. I picked a great first video to watch after being away.
I don’t think I have mentioned it before but I really do love your cinematography. Those b-roll sections are wonderful.
As for favourite photo, I would rank them in order 6,5,4,1,3,2.
