He found my secret photo location! Don't you hate it when other photographers find your secret spot? In this vlog, I head out to Ammonite falls near the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. I give some tips on composition and show examples of my work, both successful and unsuccessful.

Very entertaining this week and really enjoy your refreshing "real" commentary , so nice to see we're all human . So many "professionals" come across as snobbish and unapproachable , you come across as a "regular" guy and hope to one day participate in a workshop . Love the live view composition reviews as well . Saw the f18 fern to fall shot , no focus stacking ? Did you do any layer or luminosity masking in post or just sliders and dodge/burn , etc ? Thanks so much for sharing and look forward to years to come 👍👍

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

I did take a number of images both stopped down and focus stacked but ended up using this one as it is acceptably sharp. Funny that the focus stacked images are sharper but I actually prefer the less sharp images, go figure. No luminosity masks for this, just some dodging, burning and a reasonably heavy vignette around the outside. Thanks!

@kevinarrowsmith6955 5 лет назад

Interesting video, I really like the new composition with the ferns - much more atmosphere like we’re ‘peeking’ into the scene. I wonder what focussing technique you would normally use to get such a prominent foreground feature sharp as well as the falls?

@janm2473 5 лет назад

Seeing the fails is actually quite relieving to me as an amateur as I feel perfectionism is only attainable through trial and error and lots of hard work and dedication and knowing the top pros like you have the same experiences and fails is comforting and makes you seem more down to earth and relatable. Loved every video you’ve made and your photos are an inspiration many thanks from Aron Radford Photography 🙏

@MiguelACoronaDM 5 лет назад

Great video Adam. Enjoyed all the "fails." I think the critique model is good. I found this one particularly interesting because I also have a waterfall nearby that is challenging to photograph (fore/mid interest is absent). The use of a longer lens and including other elements is another option to consider. Thanks again - loved the backpack fail!

I like the more recent photo. I think the waterfall looks better when its smaller in the background. It has a way of bringing the eye into the image more so than the image with the larger waterfall. Also it might just be me but I love the darker, moodier light of the more recent image. I think it makes the intimate forest scene look much more private and interesting

@philipculbertson55 5 лет назад

I commented before that I really appreciate the self critiques. I learn a great deal from them and I don't really see others doing that on a regular basis. On the image with the ferns, I liked it a lot. I can't decide between the one with the long lens versus the new one. I really like those ferns. I think what I personally would like, would be the long lens but shot this time of year in the same spot and processed the same. As I said, I love those ferns and I think it would be even stronger if the falls appeared a little larger. Having said that, that was a wonderful shot. I really like the darker edges like the recent photo. Great video.

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

So, in other words, go back and use a slightly longer focal length, and process it the same way haha. Thanks, Philip! I really appreciate the feedback.

@andychattaway5620 5 лет назад

Hey Adam Great video and as usual a great location. It's interesting watching your methods and listening to your thoughts regarding what has and what hasn't worked and why. Loved your comedy bit including Gavin, your reaction was really funny and he's a funny guy anyway. His videos are brilliant - great photography with brilliant humour. These are good times for photographers. Now we have guys like you and Gavin on youtube (and the many others) to showcase your photography with individualism and humour. Such a brilliant way to learn or just enjoy when we're not out shooting ourselves. Before you RU-vidrs it was camera clubs - Seemed to be a group of introverted older men led by others who were perpetually obsessing over the rules - nothing else in the universe mattered. 👍

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

Haha, too funny about the camera clubs. I do think camera clubs are a great avenue for like-minded people to meet up and talk about their passion but yes some members do tend to get a bit obsessive with the "rules" Yeah, I think Gavin and I have similar ideas about photography so you may see more spoofs on what is wrong with photography. It's all good fun. Thanks, Andy!

Hello Adam, I enjoyed this very much, you had your usual excellent content and more. I really also enjoyed the processing piece as it helps me to see all your thought processes from the beginning of the capture and right to the end with the processing. When things do go wrong and you show that, then I believe that this is more real. For beginners/enthusiasts, who constantly, make mistakes. As always I appreciate you sharing your hints, tips and advice which I do take on board. Though I am only an enthusiast I like to believe that I do take that professional approach to get that very best image. You really are an amazing photographer who also lives in a beautiful part of the World. Yes, I have also subscribed also to Gavin Hardcastle who likes to interject a lot of humour in his Vlogs.

@ottersphotography304 5 лет назад

Great video Adam, enjoyed the bit of Tom foolery as well. In the first photo you showed, I was struck by the fact that, though the waterfall was the main subject, you dealt with it in such a way it wasn't really dominant in a way. Yet, in doing so, it created more interest in the fall for me. In the side by side comparison, with the older photo I felt as though I could be content standing right where the camera was and with the new photo, I wanted to go deeper, to explore. I wanted to get further into that scene and get closer to the waterfall. It was a magnifecent tension in the best possibe way. Great job. Thankm you again for all the content you provide. I am always learning from you.

Thanks again for sharing your passion through your “down to earth” personality. Perhaps one of these days I can slip away from my wife and kids to enjoy and learn at one of your workshops.

No real reason other than I have always used Nikon except when digital was at its infancy Canon had the upper hand for some time with the D series of cameras, still excellent.

But after a year of uncertainty and hic-ups that are going to take some time to iron out, I will just hold out and hope that you do it again in 20, now that the seed is sowed with me , one way or another I want to make a trip Canada. Anyway, great images and interesting the different perspectives of the same-- ish shot. All the best .

Hyper focal distance or did you focus on the fern? Just curious as I’m always second guessing myself and end up taking many photos with different focus points. Thanks Adam!

Thanks, David! I believe I focused on the fern about halfway in, seemed to work pretty good.

Adam, I liked seeing examples of what works and what doesn't . In your first photo, with the ferns, everything in the foreground looks pin sharp. I believe it was a half second exposure, was it so calm that the leaves weren't moving or did you have to blend multiple exposures?

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

The ferns are acceptably sharp, I generally just wait for a lull in the wind. If that doesn't work then blend images if need be. Thanks, David!

Thank you for this! A lot of fun. Actually had a few good laughs in this one. Curses to Gavin's ass! lol PS: Your website looks great, too.

Hey Adam, love the way you make stories for your photographs! Do you require permits or license for flying drones in the forest? You inspire me! Thanks =)

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

Depends where it is, up until this point I haven’t bothered but that may change

Amazing story and how the thought behind the picture! And how do you like your L plate from sunway photo!?

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

Thanks! L plate is holding up so far, hasn't fallen off yet.

lol.... great start - he has become my 2nd fave ex pat abroad :) Right, lets watch this vlog

Ah, wish you had done a little bit of banter with the mad Yorkshireman on camera, that would have been interesting :) Strangely enough I probably preferred your previous shot of the fall although the moody present shot worked too. Have a good week. rgds

What Gavin said, lol. not much banter just a lot of rude gestures, haha.

Some humour added to this one - I think that you could easily clone Gavin out of that one photo ;). Appreciate your continued honesty in sharing your missteps as well.

He did move eventually, lol.

I could make a gallery of ‘Camera bag’ images. Good to see I am not the only one

I like the moss covered rocks on the right. Wondering if there is a composition taken far right and low to capture those rocks in the fore or mid ground.

There is lots of great stuff on the side of the river but the views of the falls are often blocked, hard place to photograph. Thanks, Leslie!
