Join me on a quiet landscape photography excursion to a lovely hidden location on the east coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. If you enjoy this video please throw a thumbs up my way and consider subscribing goo.gl/hP8Sqe
Unfortunately Kirk Ebnterprises no longer make the lens caps but if they introduce them again or I find another source I'll post a link here.
Some of the topics covered in this vlog include my use of a new polarising filter from Breakthrough Photography that also incorporates a 3 stop ND filter. I also cover some of my thoughts on composition and the new focus stacking (Focus Shift Shooting) feature found on the Nikon D850
Interested in joining me on a photo adventure in 2018? I have three trips currently listed, Vancouver Island, Tonquin Valley and The Talon.
More details about each tour can be found at www.quietlightphotoadventures.com
Breakthrough Photography have been very kind in supporting my photography and lucky for me Breakthrough make some of the best filters currently on the market. For more info be sure to check out Breakthrough at goo.gl/wCvJRi

I always watch full screen HD, I make it an event, like watching a really good movie!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Oh, it's a good job that much of my face was out of focus then, haha. I must admit that some of the drone footage looks great on a big screen. Thanks, Nigel!

@victor-ferreira 6 лет назад

I found your channel some days ago, and I'm really loving your vlogs; photo compositions, well, superb!!! It's a pleasure to watching your videos / photos!!! Thank you for sharing them!!!

@josebainakielorriagaarriet2066 6 лет назад

the waterfalls are my weakness, thank you

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@sgingold 6 лет назад

More proof that size doesn't matter with waterfalls. My favorite is only about 5 feet. Great eye putting together the composition with the curving mossy branches framing the single falls. Got serious envy for that shot.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Stephen! I was happy with that image as well.

@mbrady005 6 лет назад

Thanks, Adam! Another terrific VLOG. It's become a habit to view your posts as soon as I'm notified. It's "Must See" Nature / Landscape viewing.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Oh no, the pressure is on ;-) good to hear Michael

@margrab9139 6 лет назад

You really my biggest inspiration man. I love every shot you take and story behind it.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Excellent, thank you! I must admit that the videos really help to put each of the images into context and perhaps give viewers some insight into what is involved in taking nature images. I do think that RU-vid is a wonderful way to add another dimension to the whole process. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching, much appreciated.

@itaylorm 3 года назад

It is wonderful watching how you work through what you want to shoot. Very helpful in developing my own eye for how to approach a subject

@shannonsnow8298 2 года назад

Love the greens, flowers and waterfalls! And your books! Cheers!💛😀

@QuietLightPhoto 2 года назад

Thank you! Cheers!

@aprilurquhart9690 6 лет назад

Beautiful images and great video. Thank you for sharing and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Great to hear, thanks!

@michaelschwarzmuller4328 6 лет назад

Hi Adam! Love the winter tones and the calm mood! Great work!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Cheers, Michael!

@johne2311 6 лет назад

Thanks for the info about the ND/polarizer combo Adam...wow that would save me a lot of headaches when shooting waterfalls and seascapes.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, John! Breakthrough makes the polarizer in two strengths, 3 stop and 6 stop. I believe they are on backorder at the moment, must be a popular item.

@SimonBaxterPhotography 6 лет назад

Awesome woodland with mossy goodness. Love that middle shot.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Simon! Yeah, the 2nd shot seems to be a winner. So hard to know what will work and what doesn't. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

@gazkelley 6 лет назад

Great video Adam, beautiful location. I'm very jealous, everywhere you go has incredibly epic landscapes. Awesome! Very informative video too, thank you for you efforts with these vlogs.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Gareth! the videos are a bit of work but I'm thoroughly enjoying the process at the moment so it's great to have an audience who likes to watch them. Cheers!

@Fagapperd14 6 лет назад

Going under the tree and record both side was a challenge :) Love all your videos man, always waiting for the next.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Oh, you noticed that did you, haha. I was having trouble getting up again, that's why I was laughing. I feel like an old man sometimes, haha. Thanks, FaffiGP!

@reavesjl 6 лет назад

Looks like I need to escape the frigid Alberta plains and visit Vancouver Island soon...it reminds me of the Appalachians where I grew up. Thanks for sharing! This is one of my favorite youtube channels!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Jon! Haha, yeah lots of Albertans and prairie folk escape to the Island each winter. I guess some people prefer the wet weather to frigid temps? Thanks again.

@JaniWestman 6 лет назад

Another wonderful vlog Adam. It's always a joy to watch your videos and your pictures! I'm already looking forward for your next one :-) Take care Adam!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Jani!

@Higgins_Nature_Photographer 6 лет назад

Great video Adam, love that feature of Focus Stacking feature in the new D850, you made a beautiful photo with that mossy branch framing the waterfalls and the detail was superb!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Richard! I'm sure many of the new cameras coming out in the future will most likely have this feature.

@michaelcorrigan5232 6 лет назад

Inspirational images and explanation of how you are creating the image

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Michael!

@Leffe49 6 лет назад

Beautiful shots Adam! That Island has a very beautiful rainforest with lots of potential for a Photographer.

@johnsebastianartwork 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely stunning Adam, those arching branches are incredible

@QuietLightPhoto 6 месяцев назад

Many thanks!

@ammmullan7129 6 лет назад

I love Vancouver Island but have generally focused on the west coast. I'll definitely take a closer look at the Parksville area next time I visit. Thoroughly enjoyed the teaching aspects of this vlog and the images (as always) speak for themselves -- beautiful. Cheers Adam.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, AM! very much appreciated. The east coast has lots of great spots, just a little tricky to find them all.

@dianesmith346 5 лет назад

Live on the island I'm learning so much and some great new locations to visit . Thanks Adam .

@LarryManiccia 6 лет назад

Great production quality on your video Adam. Pictures were awesome to boot. Well done!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Larry!

@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography 6 лет назад

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing Adam!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@rafelcabotmesquida8661 6 лет назад

Another wonderful location and awesome video, Adam!!! I truly enjoyed your explanation on each of the compositions and the approach into taking every image, I find that very useful. The resulting photographs are just beautiful, I particularly love the 2nd one with the waterfall framed by the mossy trees... Please keep up with the amazing work, the quality of your videos is stunning and very inspiring. Congratulations!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks so much, Rafel! The second image definitely seems to be the winner out of the three. Cheers!

@grahamjones2759 5 лет назад

Great video. Love the explanation of your thought process behind each photograph. Another killer hat too!

@perambulatingmike 5 лет назад

Absolutely cracking images, Adam...especially love the image of the waterfall framed by the arcing branch...you have an amazing eye for composition and I appreciate how you explain your thought process as you compose or visualize the shot...thanks for sharing!

@gordroberts53 5 лет назад

Good morning Adam. I am sure this will be the most relaxing 19 minutes of my day. The videography was particularly special, in particular reversing the flow of the waterfall and superimposing the close up of the moving bubbles over the lower fall still. I have used the D850's low gain ISO32 with some good success to get a little more out of an ND and am using that setting more often than not. Perhaps is my imagination but I like the image quality at that setting better than ISO64 as well. I watch, enjoy and learn. Thanks for sharing!

@kevinumbel8383 5 лет назад

Stunning!

@dmcd6769 5 лет назад

Thanks Adam for a fantastic video! A stunning location with equally stunning photographs . . . as always!

@chrispixl 6 лет назад

Bonsoir, j'admire vos vidéos et surtout vos photographies, j'en prend plein les yeux. Votre travail, votre talent et vos fantastiques paysages que vous rendez encore plus beaux me font rêver. Merci Mr Gidds. Thank you Adam.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks ever so much Chris, very much appreciated.

@philmann7733 6 лет назад

@givenslam2000 6 лет назад

love your movie and learn a lot thanks

@savagefrieze4675 6 лет назад

Just discovered your videos. If this is representative of your videos then I’d say you are among the best of the you tube video bloggers.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear Savage, thanks for the feedback.

@adrianf9876 6 лет назад

Adam, these photographs are beyond superb! And the video production here is so inspiring. That cinematic transition at 9:38 gave me chills. BTW, I just received my 6-stop Breakthrough filter and I'm waiting for my 10-stop to arrive. I'm looking forward to trying them out. Maybe I'll grab the Dark CPL in the future. Thanks kindly for the advice!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Adrian! Good to hear. Let me know how you make out with the filters, I don't think you'll be disappointed they are a good product.

@claudehamel9228 6 лет назад

Exceptional!!!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Claude!

@SimonBoothPhotography 6 лет назад

Loved the shot at 14:45 Adam. Not many think of having the foreground in the upper part of the image...really nice!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Simon! that seems to be the shot of the trip. As you know it's not easy to vlog and take images at the same time so I was happy to get a couple of keepers. Not always the case, haha. Thanks again.

@SimonBoothPhotography 6 лет назад

You did excellent, you came away with three nice images!

@katerowbotham2336 6 лет назад

So excited to find your videos Adam, great info thank you & amazing locations in BC! I'll be tuning in regularly for sure as I'm sure many others will be too :)

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, thanks, Kate!

@marthamoss2518 6 лет назад

Again, I thoroughly enjoyed, and learned from, this great vlog. I especially loved how you were able to show the bubble pattern! Thank you, Adam!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

My pleasure, Martha!

@chrisgould9101 4 года назад

Cant wait to challenge my skills when I move to Squamish this spring. Amazing Shots as always Mr. Gibbs you sure get the most out of a location, keep up the great work.

@JimDurfee 6 лет назад

Great speed and strategy with the waterfall/bubble photos!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Jim!

@bererunner 5 лет назад

Simply beautiful video from start to finish, topped with some stunning images. Superb. Don't need to say anything else.

@fingerstylefan 6 лет назад

I've been watching your videos for the last 2 days. Can't believe I have never heard of you. I love how your videos have such a peaceful, serene flow to them. Your b-roll footage is second to none. I also like the way teach. Everyone shows how to do settings. Not many teach on how to look for the composition.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Well, I'm glad you found me, haha. Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated.

@tompetersphotography 6 лет назад

Beautiful shots once again adam👍🏻 so handy having the photo stack option on the d850

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks! The focus shift feature was pleasant to find that I wasn't aware of until I had purchased the cameras, kinda cool.

@tompetersphotography 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs haha nice surprise then👍🏻 it’s a really gd idea surprised it hasn’t been done before

@photocreativity 6 лет назад

Another great video Adam. I love the image you made with the branches and the log leading the eye towards the waterfall. Great composition. Bravo.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Cheers, Ivo! that image seems to resonate with most viewers, nice to come up with some keepers now and then. Thanks again.

@nickswisher6759 6 лет назад

Waterfalls are such great subjects to photograph, and rivers and general. I've found that my favorite subjects to shoot involve some sort of running white water. Those floating bubbles really added to the images. I think my favorite was the shot looking through the mossy branches; they framed the waterfall very nicely. I really like the methodical approach to these vlogs. It seems like each one is really well done and thought out even when you're moving around and taking multiple shots. I'd like to try to make my videos more like this and I think the since I'm gonna be shooting large format in my next local shoot it might help out with slowing down my videos. Enjoyed the vlog as always!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Large format! you'll love it, or hate it haha. Large format is an excellent way to learn about photography and composition. There is a learning curve and it can be a bit frustrating but stick with it Nick it's very satisfying to see those big 4x5 images on a light table. You're doing very well with your vlogs Nick. I'm finding the best approach is to just be yourself. It's been a great learning curve for me as well.

@bbrown6057 6 лет назад

Your video work/photos are superb! You make it look so easy. Love your work!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, much appreciated!

@corbrugman 5 лет назад

Adam, hereby a tip for removing a circular filter. This is done very easy with a small rubber band. If you put it around the edge of the filter it provides enough friction for an easy removal. Keep up the great work.

@SuseV8 6 лет назад

Good Morning Adam ( Mr. Wonderful ) ~ we live on Vancouver Island and how we enjoy your videos and AMAZING photos ... just shared this one on my fb page ~ Thanks again. Have a Glorious day ~

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Suse V8! lucky you, we're in the process of living on the island part time, love it over there. Mind you it would seem that everyone is moving to the island, the secret is out.

@Cruiser_Nomads 6 лет назад

Beautiful images and a very interesting video. I always look forward to your next location, many thanks.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, John! Good to hear.

@pelafotofotografia 6 лет назад

Very good work Adan, editing the video with the captured images are very well done, congratulations. I also have a Nikon D850 and I'm crazy about it ... A big hug from the heat of Brazil to the friend.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thank you, Fran!

@trevorhughes7399 6 лет назад

I came across your channel by accident and have to say how thoroughly enjoyable your vlogs are. You have a really nice, sedate delivery, your images and drone footage are excellent. Now subscribed and looking forward to working through your other videos. I love waterfalls and am fortunate enough to have some here in the north of Scotland, so these scenes are especially pleasurable, thank you.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, thanks, Trevor!

@dwightsorensen7313 6 лет назад

Subscribed! Great stuff Adam....I'm lucky to live on the Island in the Parksville area and have visited many of the wonderful sites you have photographed.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Love Parksville. My partner and I have a place in Parksville that we're fixing up, so hopefully starting next year we'll be living on the island part-time.

@dwightsorensen7313 6 лет назад

Sounds great Adam....maybe see you out on the trails sometime......keep the vids coming much better than watching what's on T.V

@Adam-pm1cy 6 лет назад

Really dreamy images Adam, and as always a very pleasant tempo in the vlog!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Adam!

@dslmaxe 6 лет назад

Wow, you did another great film! Worth the effort. It was so nice and relaxing to watch. Inspiring for own adventures as well. Great job. I like most the camera-moves and your stunning photographs of course!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

@BimblesWithACamera 6 лет назад

Some fabulous images in there .... and those socks ... well what can I say :)

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks again, Nigel! Ah yes, the socks, a Christmas present to my partner but didn't fit her so I nicked them, brighten up my rather drab outdoor gear wear, haha.

@clahaie4285 6 лет назад

Adam, as always your videos inspire. You seem to always find these little gem places, that make such great intimate landscapes. If you are ever near Clearwater please let me know.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Mike! funny you should mention Clearwater, I was wondering what the snow was like up your way? It's miserable here in Vancouver so I was thinking of perhaps trekking out to a colder location for some winter stuff.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

That's Clearwater, BC, right? haha

@clahaie4285 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs no snow in the valley bottom yet. Some up in the hills. We did get some snow towards Blue River today.

@IainHC1 6 лет назад

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

I'm sure at some point I'll put together a processing video. Thanks, Andy!

@allaneastcoast 6 лет назад

@mikegustafson6679 3 года назад

Great video man.!

@TheMarcao93 5 лет назад

La seconde image est superbe. Je ne connaissais pas cette fonction automatique de focus stacking.

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

Thank you!

@billonthehill9984 6 лет назад

The in camera multiple shots capability changing the focus point is a nice feature in the D850 for focus stacking in post a little later on, very nice feature... So the camera gave you 10 exp. on image 2 for FS in PS, a real work saver for sure. The mossy limb as the foreground subject above the waterfall is a very well composed image Adam... Image 1 is a beauty as well, I like how you teased me with the video before eventually showing the final very well composed image, those swirls came out real nice at 5 secs. @ f/16, all this done with a dark 3 stop thread in cpl... The final image is pure magic! I really like all of them but I would have to lean towards image #2 as my personal favorite. Thanks Adam, Bill Farr... :-)

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Cheers, Bill!

@ashvarma2486 6 лет назад

@partypie1977 6 лет назад

great video mate. and congrats on the pano award :)

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Joshua! Yeah, I was happy to win a placing in the Pano awards, tough competition from a lot of brilliant photographers. Cheers!

@andykeeble1 6 лет назад

Another excellent vlog Adam and another beautiful location too. The b roll footage is, again, right out of the top drawer, I thought the reverse water was a stroke of genius! The images you made are superb, particularly the focus stacked picture, the D850 has some amazing features and I can see why it’s been so well received. When are you expecting the first real dump of this seasons snow, I bet you can’t wait to get out and work with it can you? Take care and look after yourself.🍀👌

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks again, Andy! Whistler just received lots of snow although the local mountains have just a sprinkle. It's hard to say as the temps on the local mountains always hover at around the freezing level. The temps change from day to day, one day it may dump snow and then rain the next. Lasy year was exceptional, this year is anyones guess. I am ready though.

@andykeeble1 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs given that you are originally from the UK, where we don’t get the same amounts of snow, has the novelty worn off for you or is it something that is always a welcome change?

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

I really enjoy winter here, although Vancouver and Vancouver Island have weather very similar to the UK, wet! with some exceptions. I really enjoy the snow although I must admit that the wet winters and dark days can be a real drag, so when spring does arrive I'm ready for the change. It's those days when we have lovely snow in the mountains and stable weather that I really enjoy, especially in the spring when you can ski in shorts, just fantastic.

@andykeeble1 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs I must admit I feel pangs if envy when I see your vlogs! Not just the scenery but also the snow, it looks like a fabulous place to live and explore. Take care on your adventures please mate!🍀🍀🍀

@Juergen_Weginger 6 лет назад

Vancouver Island is a special place. I really liked it as I were there in 2015 but we had not so much time planned for Vancouver Island. Failure!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Just too many places and not enough time Jurgen! haha. Vancouver Island is a little tricky to explore as much of the west coast is still quite wild. Lots of logging roads though. Perhaps you'll get to visit again some day?

@Juergen_Weginger 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs for sure, love the northern regions no matter in northern america or europe. But it’s a question of time as always. But I‘m planning, as always 😁

@bobwollenberg9160 6 лет назад

Nice work!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thank you, Bob!

@allandavies1187 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, very enjoyable as always. I love your processing of those greens in the moss with a soft-ish blur which loans itself very well. Perhaps you may consider showing us how you process your images. I know that you use photoshop. However, I only use Lightroom. But it would be great to see the Master of Photography do it!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

At some point, I may tackle a processing video. Thanks, Allan!

@GlenDomulevicz 6 лет назад

I always appreciate your talk about how you approach creating an image. In this vlog, I was also interested on your use of screw in filters, an alternative that can be useful depending upon what you are shooting. And, I was surprised about the feature of the D850 to aid in the capture of focused stacked images. That is really handy and something I look forward to using. The D850 is my plans for getting one in the coming months.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Glen! putting the videos together is actually quite helpful to me as well as it makes me think about the composition and the reasons behind the way I have set things up, so it works well both ways :-) For my purposes, the screw on filters work great, especially if I'm hiking into an area and concerned about weight. I also have some 100mm filters that I'll be trying out in the future but of course, they need a holder, so more weight. The focus shift feature on the D850 is a great idea, not sure if I explained it correctly but it works like a charm. I'll be trying it out a bit more in the future. Thanks again.

@BenHorne 6 лет назад

Thanks for taking us along on the hike Adam! That's great to see that the D850 has the ability to shoot multiple shots and change the focus so you can focus stack. I've been wondering why that hasn't been included on previous cameras. Were you using a slider for some of those shots, or were you handholding the drone? Very impressive as always.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

No problem Ben, thanks for watching! Yeah, I thought that was a pretty cool feature. I'm not really big into the focus stacking but this makes the whole process very easy. I did use a slider, cool to use but a pain to carry as I am sure you know. I purchased the cheapest one I could find, it works, haha. Mind you those new packable sliders from Rhino look really nice. Thanks again!

@Davidd8655 5 лет назад

Really good vlog, interesting to follow your creative thinking :-)

@QuietLightPhoto 5 лет назад

Thanks, David!

@frankschortinghuis4266 6 лет назад

Great video Adam. Very informative. I learned so much. I lived on Vancouver Island for 12 years, So much to see. Could you give me the directions to that triple falls area. Frank.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Hey Frank! Thank you! If you want to email or message me I can give you directions.

Interesting to see this video after just watching your latest video of the same area, not just to see the difference in the photographs but also the video itself. BTW, I really liked your conversation with Gavin and Paul, I've been struggling with my channel and hearing you guys verbalize some of the same things I'm experiencing gave me a shot of enthusiasm to keep plugging away at it ...one last thing, I think the reason there are more "English" speaking guys making videos is because your accents just sounds SO MUCH better than our American ones ;)

Hang in there John, just keep plugging away.

The first image is stunning, would love to know how you edited it, the seconding is good too, love watching your films, the places you go are breathtaking.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Andrew! perhaps in the future, I can put together some editing videos. Cheers!

Great video Adam. Love the waterfall with the mossy limbs framing everything. How are you liking the mammut pack for all your camera gear?

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Matt! The pack is working out pretty good. I'll be talking about it a bit more in the future but so far it has proved to be a nice replacement for the F-Stop bag. The initial reason for my purchasing the Mammut pack was that it is half the price of the F-Stop Tilopa, same size and in my opinion, better made. We'll see how it holds up but I am confident that it will do well as it is an alpine pack made for climbers.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Paul! At some point, I'll put together a piece on processing.

Wonderful compositions and great to see some images using the new x4 CPL dark. Mine is on backorder. A question, would you get satisfactory focus in the framed branch waterfall image using hyperfocal distance control? I have used hyperfocal and at times get good results and other times not so much.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thank you, Gary! It was very handy to have the darker polarizer and I can see myself using it more than the regular circular polarizer. As for using the hyperfocal distance, In this case, no, the branch was just too close. To be honest I have rarely used focus stacking and in the past relied more on stopping down and using the hyperfocal distance. However, in this case, I had to stack images otherwise I would have lost focus in the foreground or background. I must admit that in general scenarios focus stacking is very easy to achieve and the feature on the D850 just makes it even easier again. It's too bad that the lens manufacturers don't put the hyperfocal distances on the lenses anymore they worked great, especially with prime lenses.

You had to crawl for the camera four times to get that one sequence. Sacrificing for your art! More brilliant images sir! You have to love the development of technology in these cameras. I shoot with a Nikon D810 and a Sonya7R II. The Nikon is on it's last legs as I use it for wildlife photography and the exposure count is astronomical. Now comes the D850 and the a7R III. What is a boy to do!?

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Unfortunately (for me) haha it would seem that the more awkward shots are the ones that viewers enjoy the most, haha. I actually crawled under the log six times as I didn't think about the shot until I had already crawled through once. All good fun. Lucky you! at least that way you don't have to decide whether to go for another DSLR or mirrorless, just go for both, haha. Good planning. I can't speak for the Sony but the D850 is a really great camera, best Nikon I have owned for sure. Thanks, James!

Lovely photos Adam. I loved the photo stacked one, beautiful. Can I ask, although you live in Canada are you British? You have a very British accent.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Sherry! Darn, I thought I had got rid of the blasted accent, haha. Yes, I am originally from the UK although I moved to Canada almost forty years ago.

I thought you did a good job in finding a composition that complimented the swirling bubbles. The editing is excellent. Did you slightly de-saturate the back ground? I use NiSi drop in filters (I like the cost and they don't create a colour cast) but really like the idea of a ND built in with the polarizer. The issue I have with my screw on polarizers (Promaster) is they have very few threads and if you adjust the polarizer the wrong way, you can actually spin off the filter while shooting. How are the Breakthrough filters for this? Any colour cast?

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Douglas! Yes, I did desaturate the colours in these images. I haven't had a problem with the filters coming off as they do have an outer ring that is slightly larger so that when you turn the filter the whole thing doesn't turn just the outer ring if that makes sense? They are quite thin so getting them on can be a bit tricky but overall they are really decent filters without any colour shifts whatsoever.

@ALinNZ2 6 лет назад

Loved the last two images. D0 you slightly desaturate the colours in post processing to give that matte look?

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Lately, I have been yes. I'm rebelling against all of the oversaturated images that I see online from my fellow photographers, haha. Seriously though I do tend to enjoy the less saturated shots.

@ALinNZ2 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs I'm with you on that but I haven't learnt to do it as well as you do.

@anja5758 6 лет назад

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing and inspiration! And btw. the flikr link from the description doesn't work.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thank you! Strange about the Flikr link both seem to work for me. Is it the link in my bio or the one on the masthead? Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@anja5758 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs Link that is in the description of this video points to www.flickr.com/photos/adamgib which does not exist. Flickr shows 404 error.

Okay, got it thanks!

Great spot you found there and lovely images and video! But some audio difference between the music and you speaking so I found the music to came across as a bit loud. Any case keep snapping!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks! yes, unfortunately, I did have some trouble with the audio on this one. I turned up the sensitivity of the mic thinking that the waterfall would drown me out but the levels were too high. Still a bit of a learning curve but I'll get it figured out. Thank you for the comment.

@bkspicture 6 лет назад

Your videos are well made and it shows that you put a lot of effort into them. Just thought you might have missed this in this one and I would guess that this would be easiest fixed by just adjusting the volume in the video editor.

@chinmoymurung7667 2 года назад

Hello Adam! I love your landscape photography and your videos as well. I am not a professional but hobbyists of photography. Can I do landscape photography with canon 6d-ii or 90d? Which one is good for me? Can you help me with any advice?

@QuietLightPhoto 2 года назад

Of course! Any camera will work
