Yes thanks Brian! Its so hard to regord on Woods, because if People see you they think you are weird maniac. They dont understand what you do. 👍😀Good luck.
Brian’s recording of the raven conversation made the opening video particularly memorable. He succeeded in capturing the authority of a raven’s voice and the acoustics of the forest precisely.
I'm one of those who missed out on your 2020 workshop. One of these days I'm getting out there! Maybe next year. Your videos and images are always a pleasure.
@@TAdams-hx9lk My flight back to Scotland is from here, I was down in Pincher Creek last weekend for the conference e and got sick the day I was due to fly home. Finger's crossed for Wednesday
Beautiful Details and forest scenes! You reactivated the old GFX100? I like that GFX body most because of its nice tilting viewfinder. Gives me a bit old school waist level finder feeling…
Beautiful! I love that intro with the little samples of the intimate scenes, but I may be biased 😉. (You do need to get rid of the riffraff hanging out in the background though. A bit distracting. 😂)
You are preaching to a converted in this video. Thank you showing others what I call the many little pictures inside the big picture, basically my (something to do) photography thing. There are always countless little pictures to be made when the one or two BIG landscape photos does not happen for whatever reason. There are also great lessens in the way you cropped the images . Good one!
Loved the opening minutes; the profound quiet of a westcoast dawn punctuated by the sound of crows! It's something unique to the area, I think, and one's cares flow away in the babbling brook. You really upped the game with production values on this one, Adam, and found the beautiful details even with the challenges of a month that normally would have had a bit more moisture to wash and freshen the woods!👍👍
thanks for the video! just back from a couple of hour hike in the forest on Tenerife and its so hard to get a clean and not overloaded image in those overgrown forest. learn a lot from your video, thank you!
A great episode from the master of woodland photography . World class Adam , you haven’t lost your touch . Your woodland edits and colours stand out from the rest of the competition . I just miss your drone footage of which was to date the finest drone footage I have seen . Stay well and thank you for these wonderful episodes.
I'm going to be on the Island in a week....first time in probably 16 years or so, and first time ever with a camera. Part of my first trip home to Vancouver since the pandemic hit. I've been catching up on a few of your videos to get into the mindset of shooting in the area, which is working well as your content is very inspirational!
Really nice forest photos and presentation was really great. By the way was that a bobly-head of the former Queen on your dash or does it do her famous wave. ;-)
You must be located in my part of the world; maples, red alder, sword ferns, surely the Pacific Northwest. I’m sitting at the breakfast table, apparently in the audio sweet spot of my iPad as the soundtrack made-me-look outside to the urban green belt to see the non-native bird I was hearing. Kudos to Brian for a perfect recording and to you for production and camera work. I’m typically one to find fault, overly so. I’m stymied
One of the photo instructors I was lucky to have in college in the '70s was John Upton, a prodigious author who studied with Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Minor White, Dorothea Lange, and Edward Weston, had this advice. "Get as close as you can to the subject, and then take one step forward." Meaning a lot of photographers just stop and stand there to take a photo and don't take the time to move around, have the camera higher or lower, use portrait or landscape, whichever gives the best composition. There was this little device he had us make out of cardboard was an adjustable frame to show us the crop that would work on a photo. We'd also hold it up as we moved closer or farther from the subject to help us visualize the scene.
What I enjoy about your videos is you are not afraid to say where you are shooting, you discuss the details of your composition and show the RAW and the edited image. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the inspiring woodland video 🙏 my woodlands are so full of chaos, that I get frustrated when not being able to find compositions. And when I find them... its so hard to work them out. Maybe I am too perfectionist? Anyway, your video finally made me want to go out into the woods again, finding those details. Have a good day!🙏
I loved the peacefulness of the opening minutes of this video. It helped relax me and it gave me ideas for how I can enjoy being in nature more. I wish other vloggers would do things like this more often. Thanks for sharing those few minutes of calmness, its exactly what my mind and body needed.
I love how you manipulate those greens from the raw image, it’s very subtle but makes a big difference, it allows the composition and light to take center stage.
Absolutely beautiful video Adam, you’re truly a master at forest photography, think I will have to try and get to one of your workshops next year as my forest photos always look like a busy mess!
@@QuietLightPhoto As you know none of these Fuji lenses let you focus on close intimate scenes. I am not interested in shooting bugs but would like to shoot closer than what the 45-100 allows. Would the 18mm extension do that? I rented the 45mm tube and realized it was for extremely close work.
I love your images and have always appreciated the effort you make with early mornings and late evenings. Having just returned to the UK from a holiday in BC (inspired by your vlogs) what I now appreciate is the distance/time, the difficult roads and trails, involved in getting to some of your locations. Keep up the great work you do in educating and entertaining us. I really hope that these lovely, important and natural old growth forests can be saved. Many thanks. P.S. Did I spot you on the Gordon River Road about 3 weeks ago?
As always a great video Adam. It was so peaceful, it was putting me too sleep . Beautiful, peaceful works . I even liked the video of the brook with the rocks , beautiful. Thanks Adam great as usual.
