@charlenenagel7962 4 года назад

Hi Adam, I really like it when you show the RAW file and settings, as well as talking through the composition...And then the finished image. It's so helpful in getting an idea of what has gone into making the image. Thanks again for sharing this with us. :)

@brianparks440 4 года назад

About 20 years ago my wife, daughter, and I were looking on the map for a way around Las Vegas. I turned off the road to Valley of Fire. We arrived there after dark (apparently it was ok then) and camped for the night. The desert was illuminated by the moon. The next morning I was astonished by the beauty around me. The light was fantastic. I have been hoping to go back there again. Thanks for the inspiration, Adam!

@PaulFaracePhotography 4 года назад

I liked the wider comp too in the first shot, great vid as usual!

@mikecastles 4 года назад

Have really enjoyed your visit to VOF, I made a short trip there a couple of years ago. It was great hearing you and Nick both mention how difficult it is to photographic there, as I found it very challenging. Found the CCC cabins to be a great spot, but very hard to photograph, but totally worth it. Like you, I hope to get back and visit again. And as you said, camping there since the park closes at sunset and opens at sunrise, great tip.

@shanefiddle 4 года назад

Beautiful! Your eye for a composition continues to inspire me. Thank you for posting this!

@KellyPettit 4 года назад

Your shots make me want to visit so badly. Mind you, your images do that to pretty much every place you shoot! Great vlog Adam. Thanks so much for the wide angle and 35mm advice, too.

@nb7524 4 года назад

Adam, I appreciate this video and I love your compositions. Thank you for showing your RAW and processed shots, it is very helpful. I was there last year and while it is a truly gorgeous place to behold, it is rather difficult to shoot. Being a photography enthusiast, I thought it was just me having a difficult time finding compositions. I feel so validated hearing you, Thomas Heaton, and Nick Page also state that it is challenging. I just purchased the Nikon F/4 16-35mm lens so I love seeing how you are using it there. Thanks again!

@vincentlerie2911 4 года назад

Very much enjoyed the video especially the transitions from raw to final.

@janwilson9485 4 года назад

Thanks for another wonderful video your approach to photography is interesting and informative to watch and your use of before and after shots is so helpful. Thanks again - love your channel

@BryanDorr 4 года назад

Gorgeous shots! I love the soft light. I also like the 35mm version filling up the sky. As for the rocks with the valley background, I'm glad to see the strobes in the background didn't significantly interfere in the raw image, even at 1.6 seconds.

@1S4Per 4 года назад

Great stuff (as usual), Adam. Your example of stepping back and zooming vs not is a great one 👍

@versescapes4385 4 года назад

Adam, I haven't watched your videos for a while (i was subscribed for a couple years under a different name), but these last 2 valley of fire videos reminded me why i think you're one of the best photographers and you photograph seemingly without effort. LOTS of great information about focal lengths. Thank you for recording this video!

@Christie2878 4 года назад

@davebryer6133 4 года назад

@jasonkennedy2045 4 года назад

Love the shots, and the ideas... especially around compression. Easy to forget in the moment when it’s sunrise or sunset etc.... glad you got the Goat!! Gavin worries me and probably many others lol!! Cheers Jase

@wallybeep 4 года назад

Adam. Thanks to the f4 gang, a friend and I left Tacoma a couple of days ago to go to this park. Damn. I didn't even know it existed until you tipped me off. Whoa! What a place! We left Death Valley after our own blizzard and headed directly to the Valley of Fire. Hell! It's remarkable and astounding in every way. Now the Spring greens of the desert plants are something I've never seen. The colors are glowingly surreal because we are further into the season. The cerulean blues are nutty! You need to return. Colors unlike anything I've ever seen! No gear. Just some phone snaps, but it was a terrific way to escape the Apocalypse madness for a bit, especially in a place I didn't even realize was there. Your vlogs are inspired, fun, hugely informative and bring a smile to thousands. Thanks for posting them. They are a bright spot for everyone.

@pun1shment 4 года назад

Big horn sheep shot was nice as well! Great job!

@leigh-annpalmero7008 4 года назад

I really liked that side by side comparison between the wide and the 35mm. Great tips!

@johnpunnett1426 4 года назад

Looks like an amazing place - you got some epic shots - good to see how your eye/ brain works when you talk through the compositions. Also like the way you present the raw alongside the processed so we can see your take/ transformation. Would love to visit this place myself but somehow doubt it will ever happen... Nice one - john.

@TheGuitarsadist 4 года назад

Another great video of the never ending adventures. VOF is one of my favorite places as I have mentioned before, though with the beauty everywhere it can be hard to get the perfect picture and composition. Fantastic photos for sure and so glad that you did show the Big Horn, very majestic creatures for sure. Agree about camping there, though be aware it is first come first serve for most and though there is some RV hook up sites, still first come first serve (20 for tent-30 for hook-up), exception is if cycling which they will go out of their way to find a spot for cyclist. Plan to be there on the way back from the Outsider Conference in March.

@keoni37 4 года назад

Great video Adam. I really enjoyed my visit there a couple years ago but as you mentioned, struggled for compositions similar to finding compositions in the forrest. Plan on returning again soon.

@TheMoodyPhotographer 4 года назад

Oh, here is the video again 😅 Thanks a lot for these tips ❤️🙏🏻, I don't think there is an authorised photographer more than you to talk about compositions. Who uses a wide angle lens knows how hard and challenging it can be taking a decent composition with it, I really struggle sometimes with my 10mm lens (15mm Full-frame)

@LarryManiccia 4 года назад

Seeing you photograph the area in great morning light made me jealous. When I traveled through the area on my way to Zion I was stuck in mid-day light and 105 degree heat. It was so brutal I had to hop in and out of the air conditioned rental looking for compositions because it was too hot to hike. After seeing this definitely inspires me to want to go back.

@LeandroSilva08 4 года назад

@gordroberts53 4 года назад

My favourite of the first composition(s) was the 16mm version as it captured some very interesting formations in the lower left that cropped out in the 35mm version. The second morning had me holding my breath thinking you were going to talk yourself right out of the best light...:-). Thanks for sharing!

@ilesmic 4 года назад

@jimwallar8920 4 года назад

I enjoyed the smooth transition from RAW to processed image. It makes easier to understand what was done to the RAW image.

@starlenebetts279 4 года назад

Good tip on camping in Valley of Fire, because our rig is too big for the park I boondocked up the road and drove in. However, I talked to a ranger who must have had a soft spot for me and allowed me to come a half hour before sunrise. Otherwise they are very strict, don't get caught sneaking in! As usual, your photos are inspiring!

@puck528co 4 года назад

Very inspiring! Thanks!

@pauldowney7130 4 года назад

@planet7027 4 года назад

Great video. You can still access the park. There is a drop box with envelopes that you can place the $10 fee into and detach a receipt to hang from your review mirror. I went twice this weekend. And yes I was the one that used $5 in quarters (if anyone from the park service is watching) and I’m really sorry about that 😬 . I had forgotten about the fee. But keep in mind that certain areas of the park are not accessible until sunrise otherwise it’s a trespassing charge. Anyway I really like your work and is truly inspirational. You guys are the reason I’m rediscovering the valley of fire again!

@briano58 4 года назад

Fabulous photography loved the shot with the goat would have liked to see it in colour 🤘🤘🤘

@ccn6558 4 года назад

brian mcfarlane Actually the animal in the photo is a Bighorn Sheep. There are small groups that roam the park. Pretty astonishing to see them scale some pretty steep slopes. This state park is fabulous for photography: rocks, critters, birds, plants & colors. The visitor center has some adorable Antelope Ground Squirrels and Gambol’s quail that often come around the bird feeders behind the buildings.

@antonydavid2953 4 года назад

I love the way you transition each shot from raw to edited, it demonstrates quite how subtle your editing is. Would it be possible to screenshot your Lightroom edit panels next to the finals so we can see how to achieve similar results?

@jamesjohnston6765 4 года назад

Very nice images. I do love the Valley of Fire and was frustrated that I couldn't get in at those prime light times without camping. Red Rock Canyon to the west of Las Vegas is the same way, although there are ways to get around that there. The park gates are so far removed from the best spots that you can't park and hike in early. Nevada has had a lot of problems with park vandalism so I do understand their policy.

@pecarew2003 4 года назад

Hey Adam, First off, thanks for the wonderful wonder through one of my favorite landscapes, VOF is incredible! Just for future reference, that central rock formation in the background, "pinnacle" is called Gibraltar Rock. Thanks again mate!

@derekolsen999 4 года назад

For some strange reason it reminds me of your trip to the Faroes, I think it's the rawness and wilderness of it all . I'm a sucker for some wide stuff but I think I preferred the 35mm shot in the first series, otherwise wonderful stuff as always Mr G

@AzWineNut 4 года назад

As you have an ongoing habit of doing, I must thank you for the inspiration! I wish I had been paying you more attention, as I'm fairly close by to where you've been. I live in a part of Arizona than you and the entourage ( Thomas, Nick, Greg) are probably not aware of: AZ Southeast east and below Tucson, at elevation... home of Cochise's Stronghold, the Chiricahua National Monument, and our Sky Islands..... Also a beautiful part of the American Southwest. Again, thanks for the inspiration, and if you decide to come back to the area, I'd love to buy you a beer! (BTW, if you remember, I'm the guy who wrote to you a while back, talking about Tigh Na Mara.)

@GrandWalkingTours 4 года назад

Another great video, I really like the way you add your Raw file to the video and then the edited shot , a lot of photographers done share that and i think they should , i will start doing it myself once i .... ya know get out and actually record something decent lol

I was there before and it's a fabulous place to take pictures. Unfortunately we were there for only an hour or so and didn't really explore the area. Valley of Fire and Red Rock seems like they were created at the same time.

@kevinriese2167 4 года назад

Thanks Adam, great video. You had some very nice compositions, however, thank you for saying you didn’t do it justice. I feel better since I have been there twice and have come away with sheep shots. Will stop in there on my way to Death Valley in a few weeks. Was not planning on stopping until I seen your and TH’s video and will look with a different perspective this time. Are you still going to Gobi? P.S. Gavin needs to work on “threading that needle”. 😂

@FlyFishVideo 4 года назад

A very timely set of videos as I plan to stop there on the way to the Outsiders Conference in March. I take it they have gates up that prevent you from leaving the park after sunset? I was thinking I could stay late for sunset and astro and then leave the park.

@timothylinn 4 года назад

This is true. It is scenic more than photogenic. It's a great place for a walk. Not as productive for a photo shoot. You really need special conditions or you need to stumble across something really unique to get a killer shot-at least that is my experience.

@timothylinn 4 года назад
