Do You Do This BEFORE You Make Your Photos?
Beautiful photograpy footage. Thank you for video sharing. Like 👍
You're welcome 😊 Thank you 🙏
I'm with you 100% regarding the greatest gift photography gives. I almost feel bad for those who are blind to all the visuals out there in nature. And I'm not even that good at seeing things yet, although I know I'm getting better each time I go out.
Lovely to hear Jeff. The more you do it, the more you'll see 😃 Enjoy the journey 🙏
Hi Kim, it's been a while since I have had a chance to watch your videos. Your latest one again had me smiling all the way through it as before. Your use of the DOF to almost create a collage of soft petals to framing the part of flower you focused on was beautiful. Thank you for your inspiration
Thank is lovely to hear, Peter. You're very welcome, and thank you 😊 🙏
Crazy wind and rain in winter the midges and rain in summer….good luck
Beeing humle and thankful opens the door to a wonderful world. Blaming the camera closes that door...
Great observation! Thanks for sharing 😊🙏
Just wonderful images, so creative and intense. Your closing words are so wise and inspiring, nature is its myriad forms is such a balm for the soul.
Thank you, Dennis, and such lovely words 🙏
Hi Kim, such a lovely video; the world of the small can often be missed but a pause and a look can reveal a whole new beauty that touches the heart. From dandelions gone to sead, to the thin strands of a spider's web, to the miniature world of mosses, to a single ripple on a pool of water. My mental health and physical health are two ends of a swing, and of course, the nadir. My photography is a life saver for me and I feel peace and forget time and drift when I have my camera in my hand in a place that I love to be - in the country or by the sea, or in wild weather and dramatic skies. It is beautiful and I would never exchange it for anything; I think it has always been part of me, but the time wasn't right; I feel it is right now.
This is so lovely to hear, Paul! It sounds like you're in a good place at the moment. It's wonderful that photography has supported you there 😊
Thanks
Thank you very much Paul!
Wonderful images Kim! Really bright and vibrant! This is another one of your videos that I found myself nodding in agreement with. I've always had a love of nature, but since taking up photography it has heightened my awareness even more of the beauty that surrounds us.
This is lovely to hear. It's great that you have had a similar experience 😊
Very good video Kim and great pictures. Glad you are back on UA-cam and you are right the things you see when you have a camera in hand is amazing that's why I never put mine down thanks for all the videos you share with all of us , and most importantly you're Time..
This is lovely to hear! Thank you 😊🙏
Thanks
Always inspiring. Thank you Kim
Thank you so much, Bob! Your support is greatly appreciated 🙏
Lovely video Kim and what an absolutely amazing discovery that I could spend hours with.😮
Thank you, Brian. It was wonderful to find
Wonderful Photography! Thank you.
You're welcome. Thanks ☺️ 🙏
Beautiful Kim, thank you❤
You're welcome, Stuart. Thanks :)
So inspirational! Loved this video. Thanks so much!
You're welcome, June. Great to hear you enjoyed it
Kim, I have been following your beautiful photography for a couple of years now. I very much enjoyed this video. I agree with you that photography is a real GIFT. It allows one to get into nature & become absorbed into nature's beauty, fully allowing one to explore all the facets of the hidden beauty of the chosen subject. Nature photographers are gifted with the art of observation & focus. Nature Photographers see things that other "non gifted" people totally miss. I believe that, because of the natural "child-like" curiosity of the nature photographer, He/She is able to seek out some of the "hidden gems" that nature holds, just waiting there to be revealed to anyone who just LOOKS. Thanks to other Nature Photographers like you & others, those who are not gifted with this talent to "see", are thus able to enjoy what we see....Thank you to you & any other nature photographers who choose to share what they see.
This is such a beautiful comment! Thank you for taking the time to write it. It made me smile 😃
Brava! Le tue foto sono molto belle, ma mi piace soprattutto il tuo approccio nel vedere le espressioni e le particolarità della natura come una simbiosi della bellezza e della fantasia che sta dentro la tua mente.
Thank you! It's great to hear you enjoy hearing these 😃
I agree with you 100%, Kim. The gift of being able to see all that is around me, and of actually becoming more observant, is the greatest gift photography has given me also. Your flower photography is simply beautiful - the colours, the creative blur, and the compositions you chose are just stunning. Thank you.
It's so lovely to hear this is the greatest gift it's given you, too, Mary. Thank you for the kind words
Wonderful insights! Thank you, Kim.
Great, you enjoyed it, Don. You're welcome 😊 🙏
Dear Kim, thank you so very much for this video. Blessings to you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching 😊🙏
I'm a 65 year old man. No photography video has ever made me emotional before. Amazing. Thank you Kim. *sniffs*
Oh wow! Thank you, Roger! This sounds like a wonderful testimonial 😊🙏
Bless that man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a beautiful video. Love your way of looking at things and peaking the objects
Thank you! Lovely to hear you enjoyed it 😊
I just found your channel tonight and really enjoyed your photography and the encouragement to get outside and take photos especially during difficult times in our lives. I too have looked at photography as a huge blessing in my life the past 15 years after an unexpected medical issue left me unable to do life like I once did. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful video with beautiful images and words of encouragement. God Bless You!
Thank you very much! It's lovely to hear photography has helped you work through your health changes. It's lovely to have you here. Thank you for watching ☺️🙏
Nicht abheben vor lauter Lob, aber: der Schlüssel zu Ihrem Sehen ist Ihre Begeisterungsfähigkeit. Sie können wirklich froh sein darüber... Solche Bilder werden von vielen Menschen gemacht. Doch ist es eine Fähigkeit, sie so in eine persönliche Geschichte und Botschaft einzubinden. Beste Grüße 🤓📸🙏
Thank you for your thoughts. It's always lovely to hear what people see in how I present and connect with photography 🙏☺️
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. My wife is going thru dialysis,with many medications needed each day. When this first was diagnosed,I was not only fearing the worst; but overwhelmed with it all. With the help of a home nurse and good doctors; and in particular photography I found my way. The seeking of a beautiful morning sunrise,dew on flowers and birds singing have raised my spirits and given me the joy I needed. Thank you for your many videos and photographic beauty you share
It's lovely to hear how photography has helped you calm your mind and connect with the world following your wife's diagnosis. There certainly is a lot involved with dialysis. May photography continue to offer you comfort and strength ☺️🙏
Wonderful photos of the flowers. Sometimes we need to just pause and look around and enjoy the simple things. I enjoy checking out what nature has to offer right in my back field, even if I leave camera in the house. Have been following your channel for several years, and definitely enjoy your more wholistic and mindful approach to photography and not getting caught up in making videos using the same formula many landscape photographers do on youtube such as walking away from the camera, I know I would prefer to see the path moving forward not the backside of the photographer with big backpack!
Thank you. It's lovely to hear you enjoy the videos ☺️🙏
Hi Kim it’s a Very nice video, with amazing macro photography ideas , I have a quick question about camera settings, why do you set up you ISO to 800 in a sunny day ? Thank you !!!
Exactly where to focus with such a narrow plane is always the question. I always ask myself what is drawing me to this flower? Well done video editing too Kim. 100% on opening your eyes. Me too for sure.
Thank you, Robert. It certainly can be a challenge. I usually focus on the centre of the flower or the tip of the petals, and sometimes I get creative and let the camera decide for me. Always a fun experience ☺️🙏
Hey Kim. I agree. Photography has taught me to slow down and enjoy the beauty of nature all around us. Blessings. 🙏💙
That's great, David ☺️🙏
Been following you for a while and recently started listening to your Photographic Connections podcast from the very beginning! I really love how tuned in you are to the “WHY” - ex: why is the framing of this photo so special?; why did this little bug on a flower petal intrigue me? It lends a depth to photography when you can articulate that innate connection that draws you to an image or a location. Anyway, I say this all to commend your great work and cheer you on as you continue down this path of exploration!
Thank you so much! It's great to hear you are enjoying the podcast, too. ☺️🙏
Hi Kim, it’s incredible when we decided to capture a macro image, the more I take my camera out the more it focus the mind to capture a moment in time,can’t believe I’ve been keen in photography since 1981 & come along way in my own journey & the excitement of choosing the camera & lenses for a specific image or theme. Great vlog again Kim.
Thank you, Philip. It's so lovely to hear you've enjoyed photography for over 30 years and continue to enjoy the journey 😀
Excellent photos and very informative and powerful video 👏🏻
Thank you, Simeon ☺️🙏
I’m heading out on Tuesday just to do this. 🙏
Great! Enjoy ☺️

Lovely video. Thank you.
Thank you, Christopher. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Incredible images Kim! Great video.
Thank you, Shawn ☺️🙏
Yes, the world is filled with awesome sights and beautiful things. Just slow your world down, walk, look and enjoy. Photography has been a part of my whole life, and yes, it helped bring me back from one of the darkest places I've ever been. I have flourished with my camera and attitude. Thanks to people like you, who help me see it. ❤ Much love and health to you
This is so lovely to hear, Mark! It's wonderful that photography has brought you so much joy and helped you through the challenging times. Long may your love for it continue ☺️🙏
I really love the dreamy look in these photos. Inspirational!
Thank you ☺️🙏
Well done
Thank you ☺️
Wow, brilliant and inspiring. I definitely need to slow down and dig deeper. Really nice work Kim, Thank You.
Thank you ☺️ Enjoy the process 🙏
Quite beautiful, quiet, contemplative images. Thank you.
Thank you! You're welcome 😊 🙏
On a cold frosty winter those flower warm the heart. Thanks Kim it was lovely to watch another of your videos.
You're welcome, Daryl. Thank you ☺️ 🙏
Good morning Kim welcome back. Lovely photos and video. Very inspiring. Photography has given me joy and gratitude for The simple things surrounding my life.
This is lovely to hear! It's great that you, too, have found much joy in photography 😃🙏
Lovely Kim - I like those images that emerged as time with the flowers went on for you. Dreamy, ethereal feel to them. Easily lost in time and their story. Made me smile.
Thank you, Denise! Lovely to hear they made you smile 😃🙏
Good to see you again, I agree that photography has enabled me to se things in a way I never had before
It certainly can! Thank you ☺️ 🙏
Good morning Kim, great to see you and another great video. I have learned every shot we take or moment we have has meaning. This earth and all it contains has beauty, so many overlook all of it. Kim, you have given me peace and helped me in photography, I have struggled throughout the years, but photography has given me the opportunity, to capture a moment in time, that will never be seen or created again by me or anyone else. Keep up the great work, you are loved by many, so hopefully you can post when you can. It great also to see you progressing with your first book, and all your other projects. Stay well, have a blessed future.
Thank you very much ☺️🙏 Your kind words and encouragement are greatly appreciated
Its hard to explain the feeling of photography, though I think you have come very close, if not bank on. thank you
Ahh yes! Thank you ☺️ 🙏
Totally agree. I didn’t know butterflies had furry bodies and cute faces and some moths are even fluffier - and those are two of the gifts photography has given me - in fact even spiders can be beautiful and plants are amazing.
Isn't it amazing! I, too, am often blown away by how bugs and insects look through a macro lens. They are fascinating creatures! Great to hear you've found much joy in engaging with them this way
this is why photography is my passion, not my work so happy to share passions with you
Wonderful, David! It's great that you enjoy it so much ☺️
Nice video an picture
Thank you, Matthias ☺️ 🙏
