Talk about a jackpot day of photography! Nick your choice of MUSIC to put to these videos is far and away better than the other band of RU-vidrs, IMO. It really adds to the story telling. Outstanding start to the year, man.
Nick, thanks so much for the great videos you produce. Often we go out to photograph a location with visions of the images we want to create and capture, only to be disappointed by the imperfect conditions. But in your videos, you remind us that when going out, it’s important not only to enjoy the day and surroundings, but to take what we get with the conditions presented, and make the best of them. Whether it’s cloudy and grey conditions at Palouse Falls, wind blown sunset in the dunes, stormy foamy conditions on the coast, or bluebird boring skies in the woods, there’s always a great photo to be created if we maintain the mindset of openness to the conditions. Thanks for the psych advice!!
Thank you very much for showing us your images Nick. It is great to see what and why you shoot your images with the occasional how it is done. All delivered in a professional and serious way without taking yourself too seriously. More please.
I'm a new fan. Like your PNW hat too. I'm from Whidbey just north of Seattle and too love the forrest and coastal diversity the PNW brings. My absolute favorite is a foggy fall or winter day. So much vibrance in in the still air. Nice video! Appreciate the work you do!!! Have you been to Lake Ozette in the Olympic National Park? There's a 9ish mile triangle hike that goes to Cape Alava (3m), down the shoreline (3m) to Sand Point and back (3m) to Lake Ozette. ONP has a great wilderness map with details. Kind of out of the way, but a photographers dream! A lot of resemblance to the parts in this video. If you're ever up for an adventure, this is a great spot! Be mindful of the Tide! -Bud
Sometimes you can get so caught up in the hunt for a “perfect” photo that you end up not finding anything or fall into a rut. Looks like you returned to your roots and everything lined up for a great day!
Nick, I think you’re the only RU-vidr who doesn’t have us longingly gaze at your images for a full minute each time you show one of them. I find the humility quite charming and respectable, but some of these images are incredible and they flash on the screen for like two seconds! I end up rewinding or pausing so as to examine them longer. Not really an issue, I know where the pause button is on my iPad. Just an observation. Great stuff as always, man.
Nick, we get skies like that all the time on the North Carolina coast. We don't have the rocks but old broken piers work in their place. Love the images.
Nick, Nick, Nick. Thanks, I needed this video. First off let me say this is the first content of yours I've ever seen. To me, you nailed it (others may argue, let them). 1. The story of the video well done explaining what, why, etc. 2. The video (What I mean is, too many times when a photographer makes a video the color grading isn't that great and many times the audio is third rate.) 3. The photos (Now there may not have been a lot, but the ones you shared were 'spot on.) For those reasons I'm clicking the SUBSCRIBE, and ringing the bell. Now I need to dig into your channel's video and see if I can find a couple/few things. A. What you used to ediit your videos B. How you color grade your videos C. What you used to edit your photos D. How you color grade your photos (I had just ordered the X-rite ColorChecker) E. How you chose what F-stops to use in a particular situation. Thanks Nick for all the hard work that is took to make this video.
Beautiful video, love the forest and the sun rays. Thanks for always adding the how to background info and why you compose the way you do. Glad you finally had the light for coast shots. Just beautiful. Congrats on the truck!
So good to see you in better spirits. After your last video it actually left me concerned and I recently lost a classmate that seemed like the happiest guy ever and he jumped off a bridge. For all the critics and perhaps mean comments you get let me say from my heart that what you do inspires me and brings light, never darkness. I know we all question our abilities at times and the only thing that could "suck" is not trying to better ourselves or be inspired to keep doing what we're doing. If photography ever stopped inspiring you (or anyone) sometimes change is in order. Your abilities go far beyond making images, you have the gift of being a great teacher as well. Best of luck on your new ride, may it take you great places!
Good on ye, Nick. As soon as I saw you walking down the path to the beach, I knew which Mesa Arch location you were at. I remember making that walk down. Pretty perilous given my vestibular neuritis at the time. The walk out nearly killed me! The weather gods were kind to you this day, great conditions and another great video. Good to have you back!
Thanks, Nick. Glad to see you back on track. I needed this one, too. Moved to Bend, OR in October and an hoping to get over to the Coast. Moving and settling in and the holidays has kept me from getting out and shooting. But this provided some great inspiration. You were the first photography RU-vidr I watched. This was a couple of years ago and I was looking for information on photographing the Oregon Coast. One of your early videos came up and I was hooked. Been watching ever since. Keep it coming!
New music for photo-showing section ? That's nice :) I kinda like the first 3 woodland shots more than the seascapes, all great photos in deed though !
No Bull Bars on the front of your car Nick. Be careful how you slow down at road junctions (especially when behind Gavin Hardcastle !!!) Great images as usual Nick, glad you got the light you've been waiting for.
Spectacular in every way Nick! From beginning to end and even the pitch on the new truck which has me thinking about one now. Ha! I have an 01 Tahoe with 265k miles so I purchased a Pilot but now my wife needs a car and giving her the Pilot and me getting a Colorado sounds appealing. At 6’3” I need leg room so I’ll check it out. I’ve been missing your videos and this was a home run to return with. Superb! Top class!
awesome shots. It's always a thrill and blessing when the location, light and clouds come together. It's the emotional wow that gets us out there. Love your videos. Great eye. Thanks for sharing!
I keep going back to the same place on Long Beach Washington, Beards Cove, to get an "iconic" shot of waves, rock, and sun. I know the shot exists, but it is elusive. I think I get close to my vision and to my eye it looks as if I do, but not. I'll keep trying. Thanks for your inspiring videos!
Grear video Nick! Thanks for sharing. Can you tell where exactly these locations are? I also love trees with long moss hanging from the branches (like those you find in Hoh Rain Forest). Also, can you advise me of parks or trails in the Portland or Columbia River Gorge areas where are can find this sort of beautiful location? Thanks!
Great video. I’m totally relaxed. I learned a few things from it. And you’re right about the incredible conditions and killer sky. Great photos! Alive Alive Alive!
You had a good day for pictures Nick. Always satisfying to get a few keepers on an outing and you got more than that. Nice truck too. Wish i could get a new truck as I've got a lot of miles on mine currently.
Great video, living on the east coast of NH and shooting sunrises, I totally agree about the clouds making the image. Plenty of times I've got up early to drive down in the dark only to be disappointed that the weather aps lied and it was a clear sky. I won't even bother shooting it, I'm a snob like that too lol I would never leave my bag unzipped though that close to the water, especially salt water. Just as you mentioned, a rogue wave could take that right over. Had a friend of mine go into the ocean with his gear. That's why I never get that close. Love you channel! Watched it my whole work day.
Your off and running now Nick. You are so blessed to be able to have that in your backyard to shoot. I live in Missouri and you really have to travel south to get great landscapes. I will be retiring soon and hope to take a workshop sometime. I get the light snob thing..to find and epic image you cant settle for mediocre light. Happy New Year fellow photographer.
Dude so good to see you beaming with happy happy joy joy light!!! Great vid, great intro with the red beast hopefully Gavin doesn’t hurt your baby this year, great light, great shots just awesome to see you in your element 👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Catching up on your videos Nick. Living by the CA coast, I know what you mean about marine layer and getting good sunsets. Looks like a perfect evening to be shooting the Oregon Coast. Thanks for sharing with us
Hey Nick I was pumped for you watching this as the pictures unfolded . Happy you had a perfect day as I too am going through a not taking great landscape pic phase with regards of light. So I can relate. cheers man the pics are rocking here!
Awesome video Nick and congrats on the new truck. With Good gear and reliable transportation that just leaves the rest up to you and mother nature. Here’s to a great 2020.
Gorgeous work Nick. Can't wait to go back to the coast. I'm hoping for some good snow around Mt Hood and cold enough temps to make some ice around the waterfalls soon.
Excellent video Nick. Your work is the most inspirational in all of RU-vid. I'm was so anxious to watch it when Danny messaged me that you had one out. It's been way too long since I've been to OR. It's on my list for 2020. Keep rocking the videos brother. 👏👏👍👍👍
That truck is sweet! And I'm also liking your new ball head. I just bought the FLM CP-38 tripod, the big beefy one you reviewed a couple of months ago. Now I'm on the hunt for a new ball head. (Getting ready for UTAH!!) I watched a guy compare the RRS and the ProMediaGear ball head you're using (it is PMG correct?) and I was wondering what you think of it? Of course, I'm also looking at the FLM ball heads too. They look pretty nice and have some neat features. Ugh... gear is so frustrating!! :) Now, back to the important stuff... your photos are fantastic!! Love them all. I could kill for some fog/mist myself. Had a very foggy morning the other day, of course it was new years eve, and on my way to work. And of course, the next day off, new years day, was a bright shiny morning. No go. Can't wait to see what more you show us. Thanks Nick!
Fantastic shots, great to see you excited about being out there. I've seen so many grey days lately, I'm hoping to get a chance to see some conditions that get me excited to be shooting again soon.
Great start to the year for you. I instead knocked my camera, lens, flash and tripod into the river when I attempted to move a branch out of my way. The branch snapped back, smacking my tripod, sending it into the river. The lens was the only good lens I had. Everything is in bags of rice now, but I'm not optimistic. Happy frickin new year.
Happy New year Nick!! You deserve this awesome photography day, you have continued going out shooting even don't feeling very well. I can see how emotional is your ending part of video... I'm proud of you amigo. Just don't worry, relax and make the content you feel... I follow Nick Page because you inspired me, because your videos are great, your photos are great, your tips are great, your photoshop knowledge is great... please don't worry about the views! Feel free to create! I follow an artist called Nick Page, and I can say I feel privileged to see how he creates amazing stuff. You should feel proud of your hard work
The truck looks awesome, it should get you where you want to be for epic shots. I am glad everything lined up and you had a good day. We are looking forward to some great content this year, Happy New Year
Great video Nick. I would love to see a post processing video on these awesome shots. I also liked that you explained a bit around the scene like the marine layer. Brgrds, Thomas
Nick, Happy New Year! Love this style of video, appropriate music and editing. Appreciate the tutorial on shutter speed and distance of waves and clouds. I support not revealing locations as well. Too many places have turned into a flash mob scene by "nature photographers" who don't respect the nature they are there to capture.
Great video and beautiful shots, delighted for you. You can see the satisfaction on your face which is great to see again. Best wishes for 2020 and hope you're enjoying that new car smell 👍🏻
Great Nick! Super shots and nice wheels!! Glad to see you excited...and why not...such a great location! Of course, I laughed to see you climbing on the rocks you told us not to climb on in October! ;-) Will have to check that out next time I'm there. Thanks & happy new year!
Hi Nick, Andrew here in Ottawa Canada, been following you for some time and loved this video and the way you presented your approach and process. Wish you all the best for 2020 and looking forward to more great content. Cheers
