One of the many hidden landscape photography gems found on Vancouver Island. Little Huson Caves Regional Park is a fascinating location to explore with or without a camera. In this vlog, I enter the main chamber and come away with some stellar photographs from within.

Fabulous looking place ... love some of those abstract images and the colours ... really beautiful ..

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks so much Nigel! Huson caves is a very neat area for sure.

@ninacleven7889 7 лет назад

I could spend hours in there, beautiful location.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Me too ;-) I am sure I will return. Thank you, Nina!

@richardfoulkes7772 7 лет назад

Great video. I am impressed how you are able to find these location gems.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Some of these areas I've gotten to know from repeatedly visiting them over the years. Others are word of mouth from locals and such. I guess the only draw back is that once the cat is out of the bag everyone wants to visit them. Luckily there are many more spots to discover. Thanks, Richard!

@mbrady005 7 лет назад

Excellent Adam. Really loved the drone work and bringing us to a new area to explore.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

@michaelschwarzmuller4328 7 лет назад

Hi Adam. Thanks for sharing this! Very nice espacially the drone footage!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Michael Schwarzmüller cheers, Michael! I really enjoy using the drone although occasionally it can be a bit nerve racking.

@claudehamel9228 7 лет назад

Excellent. Thank you!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Cheers, Claude!

Thank you, Rene!

@Chiffonsspirit 2 года назад

Very Wonderful Video !!! I totally Love your mix of still-shots with action. I Love your choice of Music .. it really compliments the Adventure. Your Commentary is Excellent !! Your Photography is Beautiful !!! I so appreciate the Drone footage .. Wonderful !!! Thank You for Sharing your Exploration of this Magical Wild Area.

@QuietLightPhoto 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@heydanking 3 года назад

Thanks for the great overview of the cave ... I live on the island and vlog loads of spots, but had never come across this location. It's now on my list for sure!

@douglasbradshaw9553 6 лет назад

If you come back to the North Island again, I think you would enjoy San Josef Bay. I enjoy the videos.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Yes, yes, yes. I have been up to San Josef a few years ago. I will be haeding up there aain for sure, just gorgeous. Thank you!

@jeffmsc 6 лет назад

3 people gave this a thumbs down? Adam your work is first class. Best I've seen on RU-vid.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Eh, no worries, I guess watching photographers fuss over landscapes is not for everyone, lol. Thanks, Jeff, I appreciate the positive feedback.

@MarcusyesMarcus 3 года назад

Go back here Adam!! You were talking in you latest video you were in a bit of slum and not so much inspired. This locations is all-inspiring so please make another video from here. Its time !! :D So relaxing and I just love the shapes and the contrasty light. Greetings from Sweden.

@sookephotographyadventures Год назад

I can’t believe that I hadn’t watched this video before no. I really enjoyed it and seeing how much of the caves you were able to explore. I’m going to try and check it out myself at the end of the month.

@QuietLightPhoto Год назад

There should be very little water at the moment

@TheFuturetraders 7 лет назад

Really Excellent Adam; great production and I really appreciate the hard work and time necessary to set up all those thots. Superb images too - really fresh and with your usual beautiful attention to detail. Sadly, I could only thumbs up it once!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Alister! thank you, kind sir. Dp you ever think about doing a bit of video work on some of your trips? especially with that new Nikon D850 that you just ordered ;-) That's okay one thumb works.

@TheFuturetraders 7 лет назад

Adam Gibbs yes, working on that. Done a couple of trip specific videos so far from Tibet and the Gobi. More coming in the next year.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Great! wil you be posting them on RU-vid or?

@TheFuturetraders 7 лет назад

vimeo.com/203983985 here's one from the Gobi this January.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Ah, yes. I did see this. What an awesome spot. One day perhaps Karin and I can join you.

@GlenDomulevicz 7 лет назад

Watching your vlogs has revealed some amazing places I have never been. I need to explore Vancouver Island more than I have. Looking forward to our next trip there. Thanks for your revelations.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

You're welcome, thanks for watching Glen. I think the island is the only place that isn't on fire at the moment.

@debbydhill 5 лет назад

Nature is stunning! Too bad most people don't stop to see it. Thank you for sharing this place, it is beautiful.

@ottodanbyii6253 7 лет назад

Wonderful work Adam, enjoyed the video very much.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thank you, Otto!

@fototripper 7 лет назад

You've inspired me Adam. I might head out there tomorrow. Definitely more interesting with those low water levels

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

fototripper most definitely , Gavin! With this hot weather it would be a good place to go. I'm sure you'll come up with something stellar. To be honest I don't think I have ever seen images from the inside before? Wish I was joining you.

@photografiaaustralis2131 7 лет назад

Magical location. Wonderful photographs.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thank you!

@chrispixl 6 лет назад

bravo pour votre magnifique travail, visiblement le puma vous a épargné ! quelle chance pour nous. Life goes on ! merci beaucoup Adam.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks again, Chris!

@JamesRBurnsVLOG 7 лет назад

Makes life easier when such beauty is in within such a small area. You've captured it wonderfully n your drone work is awesome..a pleasure to watch Adam

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, James! The drone is certainly a lot of fun to use and does really elevate the overall feel to an area.

@tonyb2760 7 лет назад

Very unique and fascinating place. Thanks for sharing.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, Tony!

@Adam-pm1cy 7 лет назад

What an amazing place Adasm, and again - super drone work, and great photos! The cave almost looks like concrete, and I came think about Gaudi and his flowing, organic architecture.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Does look like a Gaudi building, good observation. Perhaps not quite as colourful? I've come close to crashing the drone so many times, touch wood it doesn't happen. Thanks, Adam!

@benhuygen9699 7 лет назад

great stuff...keep posting these amazing landscapes..!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Ben Huygen thanks, Ben!

@jimrookphotos 6 лет назад

What a beautiful area, Adam. The sculptured shapes and colors in the cave are amazing. Thank you for sharing this natural creation.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Huson is a lovely spot for sure, thanks!

@nickswisher6759 7 лет назад

I really enjoyed those images which were lit by the reflected light. It looked like there were different colors of light coming from different directions, and I think you did a good job of capturing the texture of the rock.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, Nick! Yes, the colours were fascinating. I often look for contrasts in colour and light. Warm colours come forward where as cool colours recede, a great way to give the illusion of depth. That's what I love so much about Zion and the canyons, lots of warm reflected light set against cool shadows.

@stevemckenzie4731 7 лет назад

Great work as usual Adam. Cougar Poo? Geez, I thought the Australian bush was dangerous...

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Well, after some further reflection I guess it could have also been dog poo but I'll stick with a cougar, haha. more drama and mystery that way. Thanks, Steve!

@qkamoen 3 года назад

You are very brave because I would never go in the craving

@allandavies1187 6 лет назад

Fantastic subject matter and you have a great eye for composition. As for your processing, this is amazing...

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

I really enjoy visiting Huson as it’s a relatively quiet area with little visitation and lots of neat photo ops. Thanks, Allan.

@anja5758 6 лет назад

I have been going trough your vlogs for last couple of days. Great photos, amazing locations. Thanks for sharing!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Andrzej!

@paulsparkes5741 7 лет назад

Great location and fantastic images! !!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, Paul!

@clintmiller3654 7 лет назад

What a unique place to shoot. Thanks Adam for taking the time to go there and allowing us to go with you. I hope you carry some kind of bear spray with you, i think bear spray will work on a Sasquatch? great and unique photos, looks a lot like Yoho National Park photo "Weathered by Time"

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

No problem, it was a fun project. I carry bear spray occasionally but to be honest am not too worried about encounters. It's the yahoos drinking beer and blasting off firearms in the woods that I am more worried about. It does look a lot like the area in Yoho, good observation.

@brent_f 7 лет назад

Hi Adam, That has to be the most interesting place you brought us to since the start of your vlog. Kudos to the location and your photos.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, Brent! I was really pleased to get into the cavern deeper this time around. Past trips I only ventured to the front entrance which is very cool but limited in comps. Thanks, again!

@rafelcabotmesquida8661 7 лет назад

Impressive place and amazing shots! I love the light in your images, even if it was pretty dark you managed to capture absolutely wonderful textures. Great video, Adam!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, Rafel! It was a fun project.

@TwelveFrames 5 лет назад

Close on the "clamming", they are scallops (unless Canada uses different terminology than we do in the States. They are the result of water flow, and generally the smaller the scallop mark, the faster the water was flowing. Also, in caving, we can get a sense of which direction the water was flowing by the shape.

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

No, you're right, I knew I had it wrong so thanks for the correction, at least both words come from the sea, haha. Cheers!

@sgingold 7 лет назад

What a fantastic location, Adam. Those patterns are wonderful and I was glad you kept the color in the Blue Light Rock Formations image. Loved the trip down stream and the drop to the mouth of the cave. I think I could overcome my claustrophobia for that place. LOL Great video, thanks.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Stephen Gingold thanks, Stephen! It's a pretty big cavern so I don't think claustrophobia would be too much of a problem :-)

@SuseV8 6 лет назад

Thank you so very much for this delicious video ~ a road trip is in order to view Little Huson Caves ... how wonderful it would be to camp here for awhile. ! Excellent shots ~ Peace to you Adam Gibbs and All your Relations from Victoria, BC.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Suse!

@brianaikens7282 6 лет назад

Great video and recommendations. This will have to go on my must visit list.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

For sure, lovely location, thanks, Brian!

@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography 7 лет назад

Really cool cave & images! I was thinking when you were going in that I would be afraid of a wild animal in there 🤔 Thanks for sharing. Your video are always enjoyable and informative.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks again, Patricia!

@andrespuiggros 7 лет назад

Great work! Loved the drone through the creek!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks again, Andres!

@douglasbradshaw9553 6 лет назад

After watching the video, I was inspired to photograph Anutz and Atluck lake once again. I didn't go to the caves since, like you said the water levels are too high for any exploring inside the cave at this time of year. I think you would really love photographing Atluck lake and stay at the camp ground. If you have never been there it is just a few more kilometers further down the main road towards Zebellos from where you turned off to go to the caves. Just a note if you don't mind hiking for a few hours there is also some seldom seen caves on the Artlish River, which is fairly close to where you. were.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks for the location tips, Douglas! I'll have to check those areas out, thanks!

@brettharris626 6 лет назад

Amazing place.. 👍

@NicklasHolmqvist 7 лет назад

Great video, you are an amazing photographer!

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thank you, Nicklas! what a nice thing to say, made my day, thanks!

@rskura 7 лет назад

Hi Adam! I really enjoyed this one, especially after you just mentioned the location to me a few days ago. What an amazing location! Your images are very inspiring and make me realize how beneficial it is to really take the time to consider the composition carefully. As I mentioned before, I'm heading to the Island at the end of September. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to convince my wife to make the side trip to Little Huson as it's quite a bit out of our way. I'll show her the video though and who knows . . . Wonderful work and I can't wait for the next video!

@rskura 7 лет назад

I've also noticed some of your Death Race t-shirts! We did it as a team in 2013 I believe, and did Sinister 7 as a team in 2015. Are you a solo Death Racer?

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks! Huson is a bit of a drive for sure but well worth it if you have the time. The Death Race I soloed in 2014. I had a fantastic race, although I was beaten up by the end and the heat was intolerable. A lot of runners dropped due to heat exhaustion. I was signed up for the Sinister 7 (solo) in 2015 but injured my foot, too much running, haha. The foot injury keeps reoccurring so for the past 11/2 years, I haven't done much running. Actually last week I finally went to a podiatrist to try and sort things out, hopefully within the next little while I can start running again. If you get a chance the Mt. Robson Ultra is spectacular.

@rskura 7 лет назад

I have not done any races over the full marathon length. I also had a recurring foot problem - Morton's Neuroma. One year I got orthotics and it solved the problem completely, but by the next year the problem returned. The past few years I have been sticking to shorter runs. Good for you for doing the Death Race! Incredible test of mental and physical stamina!

@daviddickson9778 7 лет назад

Fantastic location and some great images Adam. I love the detail and sense of mood you are able to create, as well as your explanations as to your thought processes in looking for compositions and setting up shots. Also interested that you don't rate bears to big a problem as when when we were in BC and Alberta two years ago we were constantly warned off hiking out to these types of location because of the local wildlife.

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Thanks, David! I appreciate the feedback. Wildlife encounters are always something to be wary of but in all honesty, all wildlife encounters that I've had have been positive ones. Even on this trip, I came across a black bear about 1km from the parking lot, he just ran away. Was great to see a bear though. In all seriousness, I am more concerned about the ATV yahoos, drinking heavily and shooting off their firearms, especially on long weekends. I've had a number of encounters with some of those idiots.

@tompetersphotography 7 лет назад

Great video adam👍🏻 lovely shots

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, PhotoNinja!

@kolokolkvass1728 3 года назад

The top of that cave looked like a a set of ribs on a gigantic monster

@telemaq76 5 лет назад

thanks for the video, i consider visiting vancouver island in september, i m photographer and i ve a red jacket too, so i wont miss that spot :D

@henkpeter1755 5 лет назад

I recently started watching your older vlogs and can see you improving your footage and drone work. The caves are a very interesting location and look to me difficult to shoot some neat compositions like you did. It's not a place where you want to be in case of a flash flood.

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

Good to hear, practice makes perfect.Thanks, Henk!

@p1pepper 6 лет назад

Awesome as usual , becoming my favorite photography vlog , beautiful !

@partypie1977 7 лет назад

you had me at Delica....

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Joshua Vince love em, this is my second one. First Delica was an L300.

@partypie1977 7 лет назад

its a ride ill be getting. so versatile and look awesome

@QuietLightPhoto 7 лет назад

Joshua Vince if you have any questions about delicas let me know, there are a bunch of things that I wish I had known before I purchased the first one. Coombs country autos on the island are the best as far as I'm concerned, they overhaul the cars before they sell them.

@partypie1977 7 лет назад

Thanks Adam :)

@Pcpguy 6 лет назад

+Adam Gibbs Also in Cumberland there is a delica and imports specialist shop on the corner of 4th and Penrith. They pump out more delis than Ive seen.

@steveh1273 6 лет назад

inspiring location. I searched on Google maps, but Little Huson Caves Regional Park doesn't show up. There would be some excellent black and whites to be had there too.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Hi Steve, thanks for your comment. Try punching in Huson Caves, that should work. Cheers!

@pecarew2003 6 лет назад

Wow! Great caves and shots Adam! I was wondering what backpack it is that you're using in this video, that opens from the strap side of the bag? The one you list is the Mammut, but I 'm sure this one is something else .... thanks

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

The pack in this video is an F-Stop Tilopa. I replaced it recently with the Mammut Trion. Unfortunately, the F-Stop bag started falling apart. Thanks, Paul!

@deanpratley125 10 месяцев назад

Definately a Sasquatch! 😂

@plantherain 5 лет назад

Ello Adam, a little revisit, oogling your pass portal moments as haven’t seen yet. Vancouver isle has amazing geo diversity. Cave excursions are other worldly ... felt quite nervy watching this ( weeeeiiird) I think i have a stupid unsung phobia. So impressed with the in the rocks those “scallop markings” which brings me to my litttle Q: Did u need to sneak in a external [Hardy] light source or bracket expose for the foreground rocks like the crack-rock in Image 4 , because I’m head scratching as how your D800 .. would bring up that DR excitement on one shot! (I use a similar sensor D810 and it’s DR is a tad challenging and noisy to pull out magic from such dark spaces ; ) . please i could you enlighten . Wild greetings , Cam , SAfrica.

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

No lights needed, I found the noise in the D800 to be not too bad as long as the image is not way under exposed. There was natural light that was bouncing around the cave.

@plantherain 5 лет назад

Adam Gibbs Perfectly enlightened :) and smartly timed Adam. Like to mention b.t.v.w, that the final rock abstract holds a beautiful intuited ‘spirited secret’.. keeper. Thank you for sharing the magic Adam, ~ all the rare untamed joys. . so loved.
