Nice Chris… I’ve never really been a garden/woodland/landscape photographer as mainly i focus on action and wildlife… but you’ve given me some ideas here mate thanks… Nice relaxed approach.

Thank you. Off to RHS Rosemore North Devon today (they say it won't rain). Never done flowers before so helpful video. Hoping for some spring daffodils, or other early season plants with a splash of colour. Everything has been pretty much grey here for what seems months.

Green, blue, bright and no clouds.... the curse of the summer 😋 beautiful photos and a very good advice!

Superb gardens, only matched by the photos you took of them. You have made up quite a portfolio of garden photos, over the years, with the Kew garden shot being my favorite. I must admit the 'greenhouse' shot worked for me, I loved it! Watch that back, with all that digging Mrs Sale had lined up for you, cheers Alan

A nice change from Landscape with lots of helpful tips. Thanks.

I found this to be extremely soothing, you really brought us along with you into a garden bursting with light, patterns and detail. Beautiful images captured with great sincerity; absolutely loved them all. Thank you for publishing this.

Excellent vlog Chris captured some lovely shots in a chilled out sort of way keep it up . really enjoyed this over my morning coffee .

Beautiful garden Chris - I liked you broader garden shot, I can see it forming the opening shot in a magazine article with the close up photos to follow. BTW My parents were award winning gardeners so I fully get being dragged around various botanical gardens as a youth until it became part of my own DNA :)

The "rose" one really made my day! You are awesome! Thanks!

Great vlog. Gives me plenty of ideas as we do walk around some of these type of gardens with the National Trust cards.

I hadn’t thought of going to the local gardens, great idea. Lots of good tips that I will be trying when the temp and humidity drops a bit. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

The rose image takes it Chris. Excellent. Indeed, I have a love/hate relationship with Summer photography and have chosen to expand my image genre a bit while I wait for Autumn. Not to say I won't visit some spots for some landscape photos. We do have a few lovely gardens around which I think will give me the opportunity to apply some of your tips. Enjoy your Summer!

IMHO these are amongst the best photographs of yours I’ve seen. Superb

Chris once again amazing photos. Thank you for your pod cast, appreciate it and you:

Loved this one Chris, great tips. Loved the purple Allium shot.

Really love the rose Chris. That and your allium pose!! 🤣

Another great video Chris, just when I think you can't do a diverse shoot you have. Made me think about doing more in gardens now,

Nicely done Chris, love the rose shot, quite abstract and arty:) summer is hard, and this looks like a nice relaxing alternative to 3am wake ups! Although I got home at 3.30 am this morning after chasing the Milky Way last night, stars for me in the summer😄 all the best!

Man, Chris, I really cannot pick a favorite shot, they are all so good! I must mention the closeup rose photo, I guess that can be my favorite. You've shined again, my friend! Great relaxing video, as always

More of a mountains kinda guy myself. Have to say though this was one of your best. Lovely subject, great format and frankly some of your best work. You may have found your métier. Gardens. Who knew? 😁

Nice one Chris,,good idea to try something different with your vlog..it has given me inspiration to go along to a local Japanese inspired garden..

Nice 'alternative' video Chris. I spent a very interesting day last week in the gardens at Powys Castle - highly recommended. Unfortunately, I managed a school boy error and formatted the wrong memory card whilst having coffee (and cake) so lost quite a few close in macro shots and a nice wide angle shot too - doh! But it was a great exercise in pushing the lens to its limits and looking for those backgrounds that blur and show off the subject so nicely. I had never thought of doing flower photos until I did a workshop where Sue Bishop was one of the co-leaders. Her work was an inspiration and she was so helpful in the field. I am now always on the look out for wild flowers in the countryside and enjoy NT gardens in a whole new light (pun intended).

Video this enjoyed really I. shot beautiful truly a was rose red The.

I loved this video. I'm both a gardener and photographer so every second was delightful. Thank you for making it. Please tell Mrs. Sale hello from a fellow gardener.

Really enjoyed this video. I think your work is going from strength to strength. Hoping that you have one of your photography days in the autumn and that I can get to it. Thanks.

Not my usual cup of tea, subject wise, but some great shots & tips. May try a visit to Alnwick Garden when I get home?

Really enjoyed this video Chris. Loved the red rose image. Hope to see you again soon

A very very nice vid again, danke.

You have a lovely garden.

Excellent Chris, as usual, learnt a lot from that one, I'll be trying out some of those ideas tomorrow!!

Chris! KZfaq didn't notified me about your video! Now I've clicked in the bell so I will! That rose photo is stunning, really cool one! By the way, you're getting really good in your narrative. Your voice is really calm and your audio quality is top! :)

Striking images Chris, nice to watch you do something different.

Really nice mate.....very chilled and full of useful tricks and tips

Really nice video Chris. You manage to take a relatively mundane location (as far as landscape photographers go) and make it interesting and informative. It must have been nice to have the whole place to yourself at sunrise. This inspires me to look at formal gardens in a whole new way. Cheers, Jeff

I refreshing change from landscape photography. I so enjoy photographing flowers etc, and with Kew Gardens only a bus ride away I have no excuse (even more so when I have a membership!). Whilst I like the composition and colours of that last shot it is just missing something. Would be good to take the same photo just after sunrise when the light has a bit of direction and isnt too harsh, but I guess access might be a problem.

New visitor to your vlog. Love it!! As far as that wide shot, the stuff on the right and the building in the back right don't add anything to the scene. How about cropping that out, making the image a 1 x 1 which should show just the stuff on the lower tier, the stairs, and the greenhouse in the far left background. Worth a look-see. Thanks for the great tips, might be time for me to visit my local gardens!

SUPERB INDEED!!! I love all the shots and the one leading to the greenhouse from the planters is really nice. I see a macro in your future.....lol!! Great video!!

Hey Chris, Great video with a lot of useful tips. I'm out to the RBG tomorrow.

Heale Plant Centre & Gardens Nr Salisbury Wiltshire..along way south for yourself Chris but 20 mins for me..

thank god i live in Greece !!!

Thanks, Chris, for your videos each week. I look forward to them. I notice that you, & others, use a slip-on white plastic lens hood to protect your lens when you have used an adapter ring on your camera. I can see the usefulness of doing so. I tried in Sydney to find out their availability without success. Where do you buy them in UK? Are they available online? I have Cokin filters & the adapter rings’ diameter is 100mm. Could you let me know of their availability.

Really enjoyed watching your vlog this week Chris. You captured some interesting composition. Question; Would you feel the need to Reece a location and take images with compacted camera if you wasn't planning on vlogging the location? I ask as I tend not to do this (mainly due to lack of time) and find the joy of discovering composition when I vlog. Thanks for sharing Mate and take care 👍📸

Hope things are ok Chris whens the next vlog due ?

Go here Chris and show your wife www.raywoods.com he has a portfolio beyond belief of garden vids.
