The past several months I've spent a lot of time searching out and photographing waterfalls on the west coast of British Columbia. In this video, I travel to Myra falls located in Strathcona Provincial Park on the central part of Vancouver Island. I explain some of the techniques that I use to create texture in water using Photoshop.

Beautiful scene and I loved the subtle water colors and movement on the foreground.

@RickMentore 4 года назад

You are the Greatest Contemporary Photographer!

@alvinmorris5404 3 года назад

Uncle grumpy always seems so surprised when he has the place to himself lol. it must be nice to just naturally get the place to yourself I have to be a grey haired old crank and work at it to get that result...but it's getting easier as I get older 😆 Love the video it's soo beautiful there!

@MrStanmc 6 лет назад

Excellent work Adam. In your last video I posted a comment saying that I was losing interest in your channel because I thought you were moving away from what drew me to the channel in the first place, the capture, editing and presentation of still images. In this video you have put those fears to rest, producing a body of work that has something in it for everyone, video makers and still photographers alike......not an easy task. This is a first class production that puts you firmly back on my favourites list of landscape photographers and has me looking forward to the next edition. Thank you!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, I did take your comment to heart. Truth be told I usually take more video when I really don't feel like explaining things. Sometimes I just want to make images without trying to talk about what I'm doing, lol. Thanks!

@amaitra 3 года назад

Uncle grumpy has a nice hair cut here! Great shots as usual!

@johnvoss2565 6 лет назад

Merging parts of the same shot at different shutter speeds is BRILLIANT.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, simple and effective.

@SajkovskiDejan 2 года назад

Thnx for showing another great place Adam. Awesome photo’s.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

You're welcome!

@janneolsson4438 3 года назад

nice pics as always and a very easy-to-understand guide in blending exposures. Thanks.

@kevins8575 5 лет назад

You're right about the faster exposure showing more power of the falls.

@juanbusciglio1771 4 года назад

Great video as always, can wait to meet you and learn more from you at the workshop.

@victor-ferreira 6 лет назад

Excellent vlog as always!!! And excellent long exposure tip!!!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Victor!

@garryjohns351 6 лет назад

Wow! Another GREAT video.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Cheers, Garry!

@MrPhotog4u 6 лет назад

Thanks Adam been out myself playing with different approaches to photographing waterfalls. Like the image stacking options. Nice that you where able to have the locations to yourself, that can be a challenge as well. Thanks for sharing.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Always a pleasure to have a location to myself, not that hard to do on the Island.

@itaylorm 3 года назад

Always a pleasure learning from you. Thank you for a another very helpful tutorials on more than just photography but also how you process.

@vincentlerie2911 5 лет назад

Great tip on blending the waterfall exposures, which I had never thought of.

@MegaDwilkinson 6 лет назад

gorgeous final image Adam

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, David!

@scdronemedia Год назад

I am so jealous Adam. For me to get to a waterfall, coming from Oxfordshire, it involves a LOT of travel, which generally, time and funds do not allow. Another excellent video and I will definitely sign to your newsletter. I must say that I watch a lot of YT from Mads, Gavin, Simon and more, but I do not enjoy any in the same way as I do yours. Keep up the great work and keep feeding my love of waterfalls and mountains lol.

@QuietLightPhoto Год назад

Great, thanks! I used to live in Bletchley, Milton Keynes so I know what you mean by lack of water features, lol.

@photog1529 5 лет назад

Great tip about using a separate exposure to control foliage movement. I've always done this for water movement, but thought of "foliage control" never entered my mind. Perfect.

@darrenbooker9438 6 лет назад

Another fantastic video Adam, well done mate. In landscapes like those it is better to have it all to yourself than to have people milling around like ant's ruining your shot's...LOL. Keep up the good work mate.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Oh for sure I like to have an area to myself. On the weekends the area gets a fair amount of traffic

@renetimbang188 6 лет назад

nice to be back this channel am really enjoyed it..

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Great, thanks, Nathan!

@dwightsorensen7313 6 лет назад

Now that the weather has turned for the better I may head up to Myra next week for an overnighter. Thanks again for the tips Adam.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

So hot, nice [lace for a dip I think. Have fun up there Dwight!

@Paul9 6 лет назад

Superb video Adam, I've been using the exposure blending for water but for some reason never thought to do it with the surrounding foliage, I always learn something from your videos, thanks again for taking the time to produce great content.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, thanks, Paul!

@robertnelson3179 5 лет назад

Thanks for the ending part. I like frozen water but everyone seems to do that blurred thing and now I found a way to combine it right

@forrestproductions 6 лет назад

Thanks Adam. This was very helpful. Moving foliage next to a waterfall is a typical problem when shooting at slow shutter speeds. I am looking forward to going out and trying your technique. I usually shoot several images at various shutter speeds with water looking for the "right" compositional speed for the image in post processing. It's hard to tell off the back off the camera when you are in the field as to whether you got it right. Since I have saved many of these files, I am going to go back and process again trying the brush techniques on water and foliage and see what I come up with.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, glad you find the technique useful, cheers, Gary!

@Fagapperd14 6 лет назад

@BriBarnhamPhotography 6 лет назад

Enjoying your work Adam. Really must take a trip over to Vancouver Island, very interesting seeing whats to see there through watching your videos.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Great, thanks Bri!

@davidbruceod 6 лет назад

never thought about using multiple photos to get crisper foliage in long exposers. Great tip!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Bruce O'Donnell ah that’s good to hear, a tip that you can use, cheers!

@davidbruceod 6 лет назад

It's not like that is the first tip I have ever gotten from your videos, there're all great.

@MLC48 6 лет назад

Loved it! Thanks so much for having the easy to understand photoshop tutorial. I'm going to head to Strathcona next week and check out the lower Myra falls.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Great, I returned to Karst Creek, just got back. Love that neck of the woods.

@MLC48 6 лет назад

I know you said you 'bushwacked' your way to the lower falls, but is there a trail to the lower falls?

@Nat.ImagesLarge.F.Photographer 5 лет назад

Absolutely gorgeous,magic place,stunning shots and details,excellent work Adam!

@martinnightingale6033 4 года назад

Great Video Adam . I really need a trip to Canada asap .

@Andrew_marr 6 лет назад

Looks like an amazing area to explore Adam, I enjoy those locations that provide serval options for interesting compositions. I could certainly get a sense of the power of the waterfall and the amount of water that was flowing. In the first set of shots you shared I really liked the detail you captures in the rock walls, take care mate!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Cheers, Andrew! Yeah, Strathcona is a really lovely park, lots of wilderness in this park that isn't explored that much, very rugged country.

@Andrew_marr 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs the fact that you had the place to yourself was brilliant. I suppose the more rugged it is the more likely this will happen.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

It's not hard to get away from people on the Island much of it is mountains and forest. Strathcona is a massive park that for the most part has few roads, lots of peaks and very rugged countryside. It even has Canadas tallest waterfall 1443 feet but its quite hard to get to. Perhaps one day I'll venture in, I would imagine Australia has lots of wonderful secluded wilderness areas?

@Andrew_marr 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs yes, we have plenty of untouched wilderness here particularly in Western Australia, it's also difficult to get to some of these areas because of how remote they are. We have plenty of space! 😀

@damir10535 4 года назад

Nice image Adam. I don't like too milky look-alike waterfalls so 1/10s looks better to me, especially foreground.

@445flyguy 5 лет назад

I never considered blending 2 different water speeds fast and smooth. Great idea bud and great video!! Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing!!

@davidbodine6465 4 года назад

Fantastic on the painting I have been getting further into photoshop and didn’t know that was that easy. Great technique for the leaf movement as well. Thanks a lot. Love the clips!

@IsaacMoscovich 6 лет назад

Love the video!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thank you, Isaac!

@IslandFilmMaker 6 лет назад

Beautifully done Adam! You help keep my inspiration alive as I love shooting waterfalls! With so many here and around the Island it is truly a waterfall paradise! The best part for you is were finally clear of the rainy season and for the next 4 months you won't be needing your rainwear ;) Cheers 🍻

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Hopefully, it will not stay completely sunny and hot as I'm not too inspired by bright blue skies, lol.

@WeiChong 6 лет назад

Great tips for capturing water detail (or leaves detail) by using 2 like images (except for shutter speed) and then blending them. I like the simplicity of the workflow. Thanks.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear, thanks, Wei!

@glenmilligan8387 6 лет назад

Always look forward to your videos. Your photography skills are amazing and your video editing (music selection/transitions) are excellent. Wish we had more of those landscape features in southern Ontario.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Glen! there must be some pretty nice stuff along the escarpment? perhaps not quite as dramatic?

@edmontonian5270 6 лет назад

Nice final image. I really liked the images you made in the mid-part of the video, it ties right into your usual style. I've been struggling with some of my long exposures but I'll try some of your suggestions.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Good to hear Wade, thanks!

@analog_presencing 6 лет назад

Adam thanks for the tutorial on the masking, unfortunately we do not have that many waterfalls in the Netherlands so need to wait for the right time and location to bring it into practice ;-)

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Yeah, I guess it's very flat lol. Well, I hope you get to try it out sometime soon? thanks, Aad!

@monicadoshi5889 6 лет назад

Another stunning location and love your photos from here. Again I found the editing tutorial really useful and easy to follow. Thank you

@crissignori7482 5 лет назад

I was thinking that the flowing water might cause some vibration in the tripod .... I guess not. Great instruction as always - superbly presented. Thanks Adam

@Snowcatnz2 6 лет назад

Awesome video Adam. That opening scene was stunning really ethereal, and otherworldly. Your images were awesome as well I really loved the last one, the textures in the water were beautiful, really calming whilst showing the raw power of the falls. Magical stuff!!!

@jimcooke5590 6 лет назад

brilliant adam, awesome images and as ever thanks for showing us those editing techniques

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

My pleasure, thanks!

@thevalleywalker 6 лет назад

Great intro Adam. Tutorial on the hop... that deffo different, turned out great too - love the cleanness of the water, our falls are peaty brown most of the time :) Have a good weekend Adam.

@mainetomass99 6 лет назад

Great vid. What is the head you are using at around 14:32? Anyone else know? Some type of pan i assume.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Alan Coles late spring the water is so fresh and clear, still lots of snow in the mountains so the falls should be running for a few more weeks. Thanks, Alan!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Fenwayfan77 the head is a Manfrotto fluid video head, great for video, terrible for photography, it’s a pain.

@mainetomass99 6 лет назад

Adam Gibbs ha. Thanks. It piqued my curiosity as I wasn’t familiar with it.

@MiguelACoronaDM 6 лет назад

Terrific. I shoot a lot of waterfalls and have used many of your tips to capture elements of them rather than the whole thing. Still enjoy the wide ones, but I think etching out certain areas give waterfall captures more intimacy, plus their fun to do (in a challenging sort of way). Can't wait to try this new tip in PS. Lovely place. Thanks Adam.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Great, good to hear, Miguel! I'm hoping to do a bit of backcountry hiking in Strathcona this year, marvellous park.

@LAALPETE 6 лет назад

Thanks very much for the tip Adam. Your waterfall photography is inspiring, but we have a serious drought here in the lake district and all the waterfalls are mere trickles.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

It's really warmed up here as well although we still have quite a bit of snow in the mountains so some of the rivers are running pretty good still.

@kevinwhitehead6373 6 лет назад

What an amazing set a falls to have to yourself! Thanks for the demo on shot combination in PS, must try to paint in some texture next time I get a crack at a nice waterfall.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Not a bad place to hang out for the day, thanks, Kevin!

@cifuentesphotos 6 лет назад

Hi Adams. This was a interesting tutorial. I will have to try that trick of combining two images. Great job on still photography again. I am sure that I won't go to exotic places but near national park will provide. Thank you.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Doesn't have to be exotic to be interesting, thanks for stopping by.

@jefffiles9209 5 лет назад

What great images Adam, and the explanation of your shots and processing is insightfull, thank you for sharing. Catching up on past vlogs, really enjoyed this so rude not to comment. Take care.

@poppyspix4444 6 лет назад

Adam, another great video. Nice tip compositing 2 images with different shutter speeds. Thanks!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Poppy!

@allandavies1187 6 лет назад

Hello Adam, as always your tutorials are informative with technical brilliance. Immediately, when you said, that you have difficulty composing images at this location. I thought, great place for drone shots. Such a beautiful country that you live in. Thank you, for sharing....

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Allan Davies I guess the problem that I have is not so much getting an image but one that is a little different or has a personal stamp attached to it, I guess it’s a problem that most landscape photographers face. Thanks as always for the feedback.

@cosminstan8842 6 лет назад

Very nice video and great images like always. Thanks for the tip!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

You’re welcome, here to serve, lol.

@Chris-NZ 6 лет назад

Really interesting Adam and what a beautiful location. I could not help but notice the huge timbers well above the current water line and marvel at the raging torrent this must be after a decent rain. I use masking so infrequently I keep forgetting how so have bookmarked your vid as your instructions are simple clear and paced so I can follow them !! I've recently been wanting to take a bit of the blurring in cloud out of my long exposure sea-scapes and this looks the perfect methodology . Cheers

@steviebeats 5 лет назад

some stunning drone footage, You should make a drone film. Love the waterfall shots

@jamesjohnston6765 6 лет назад

Love Myra Falls! Great location and very nice images. First time you have had sun at a waterfall in ages Adam. Coming home to Seattle in July for the first time in at least 30 years. Looking forward to moss covered forests and beach shots with sea stacks.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Yeah, we haven't had much sun although now we're having a heat wave, crazy!

@johnsholian4318 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tutorial Adam. It worked a treat in that final image and I'll have to give that a try. I can't believe you had that area all to yourself. That's getting harder and harder to achieve anymore it seems. I look forward to your next video. Cheers!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

John Sholian it’s reasonably easy to escape from people on the island, weekends and summers can get busy.

@Thom_S 6 лет назад

Informative tutorial as always. Well done.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Tom!

@actiaint 4 года назад

Another great video thanks - I took off this morning, newly inspired by you to get some nice forest images and discovered the only one I like is the one I didnt use a polariser (small forest creek) so that was interesting and unexpected.

@rawstudiosphotography 6 лет назад

Great video

@KellyPettit 6 лет назад

Thanks Adam. I've never been there and it's close enough. Think I'll venture that way soon. The trick is to capture a photo even half as decent as you did. I watch others show footage of them taking pics in the rain and some of their photos are amazing. I bet you (coming from the "wet" coast) could do an upcoming video on just that. Food for thought. Thanks as always. ;)

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Kelly Pettit thanks for the suggestion although it looks like we’re up for a long, hot dry spell.

@guyroberts4181 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tutorial Adam. I have had situations where I wanted to use a nd filter but the wind had branches etc moving so I didn’t bother. I will be trying your work around for sure.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

For sure this is a great solution that isn't that hard to do in PS. Thanks, Guy!

@alainversluys1294 6 лет назад

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Alain!

@brucepnp1 6 лет назад

I found the intro to your video really good, held my interest and made me want more. Myra falls looks like a fantastic place to photograph. Just wondering why no else was there, is it a hard place to get too? I use a similar method for blending two photos together, however it was nice to see how another photographer does it. Enjoyed watching thanks.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Myra falls is a bit of a drive, there are others there and I did see a few people but the park is not as popular as say Pacific Rim or the coastal parks. Thanks, Bruce

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Trevor Hughes thanks! Bots are great! I still don’t like the Damo, haha. They seem to be reasonably sticky on most wet rocks.

@WhoSaidPhotography 6 лет назад

Adam - I see your in my part of the island. Yes Lupin Falls this year is full of tree debris. I ran a waterfall workshop in April (Video of the workshop on my channel) Lupin was deplorable. It has been cleared by the staff, still not that great. If you work your way down the stream there is lots of opportunities for great pictures. It's still a great spot to visit for a couple of hours. Myra falls - Three weeks ago you would not be standing where you where, it was under water. I had never seen it that high, and I visit the fall quite often. I see you were able to get your drone to connect. For some reason mine did not, could not get more than 3 satellites. My only question is did you miss Karst falls? It's in between Lupin and Myra Keep up the great work...

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

No didn't go to karst this time, perhaps in the fall or next spring, thanks!

@annthomstad635 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video tutorial Adam - as I do pretty well all of the videos you share. Love the waterfall images you show us here and thank you for sharing the combined image technique. Look forward to trying this. Just one question - on the shots with slower shutter speed - do you use ND filters?

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Lately, I've been using an ND combination filter Breakthrough X4 Dark Circular Polarizer bit.ly/2uB6adU great for keeping the shutter speed down and having a thin profile to mitigate vignetting.

@annthomstad635 6 лет назад

Thank you Adam! :)

@hmjpogi 4 года назад

good day Adam. how are you? learned a lot from your video. may I ask what is your camera focused on when you are taking the picture presented between time 4;55 to 6;00 of your video. may I ask are you using a single point or multipoint focus? thanks

@anvilcloud 6 лет назад

Interesting technique to try to file in my failing brain. :) I think that very first shot at 1/800 with the spray was perfect. Dumb question, but when you block the sun how do you do it? With your thumb or finger or something else? From the top of the frame downward? If you could show this in action some day. Hint hint. Thanks again.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

I wasn't quite clear on that one, I meant to say that a sun star works best if you hide the sun slightly behind an object such as a tree branch or something

@coopscorner123 4 года назад

Hi, Adam. I have been trying to figure out how to combine two photos with different focus points. Using a mask may work on my two roses, each with spot metering focus, one in focus, one out of focus. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks for that tip. Have a great shoot.

@sgingold 6 лет назад

Great idea, Adam. Never considered combining two images to control the water textures (or leaf movement) so thanks! I'd like to try it out right away, but we've had little rain in the last few weeks and water is down. Wish we had as nice a strong flow as you had here. Do your boots have a special sole to avoid slipping or are they just the basic rubber? I wear Muck boots and they are decent but still skid a bit at times. As always a great series of images and nice presentation.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks, Stephen! Boots are pretty good but they do slip from time to time. The rock in this area was really quite sticky so no problem. Cheers!

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@philipculbertson55 6 лет назад

I have a basic question Adam. To get the two different effects you had to use different shutter speeds. That means you either varied the aperture or ISO to get the SS you wanted. I thought doing that may create problems in PS. Did you change your aperture or ISO to get the desired result? I assume aperture so you limit any noise. Or did you tweak both some? Great technique. I really want to learn this one.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

I adjusted both iso and aperture on most of the images. The noise from higher iso is minimal with the Nikon D850 and to be honest would be minimal with most cameras. If I was just upping the shutter speed for a specific part of the image such as a shrub to one side then I might just adjust the f/stop and make sure that I was focused on that spot so that depth of field wasn't a huge deal.. Hope this helps? best thing to do is just go outside and take a few images and try it out. Let me know how it works out.

Love the video and the shots you got. The tutorial on combining shots and why was helpful. Random question: do rubber boots have good traction in the water? Around here (Maryland and West Virginia USA) many of our rocks in the water are algae covered. I have not had the guts yet to step into the water with a tripod and camera over fear that I will slip and ruin my camera, but I know some places I love that the only good angle for photographing will be in the river.

Yeah, you have to be careful because algae on rocks can really ruin your day. At this location the boots worked great, my last video at Englishman River the rock are extremely slippery and the boot didn't work so great. boots with felt on the soles are excellent on slippery rocks, I believe you can get them from fly fishing shops.

When you’re combining the two images could you give some guidelines as to which areas you prefer to show movement in the water or is it simply where you “feel” it looks right?

Yep you've got it, just paint to taste and if it's too much just reverse it, very effective.

Did you use a polarizer this time? I'm guessing no.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

Douglas Bradshaw I believe I did on the last shot, not so much to get rid of glare but to slow the shutter down a bit, thanks!

ISO 31? That is an expanded ISO, is there any precaution you need to consider when expanding the ISO? My D800E will expand to ISO 64, but I have not tried it.

@QuietLightPhoto 6 лет назад

No, no precautions works great!

I would like to convert a car to a "sleep car" that you have done. Maybe you can tell how you've done your car! There are more people who would be interested in it. Thanks in advance Super photo as always

For sure, thanks for the suggestion Gheorghe!

📸is not just 🆗 but ➕➕➕& I always 👍. Why not to explain - just a little - the luminosity masks and TKV5, how to make a composite, choose a luminosity mask, apply or select and work on it, just that, not the whole panel, it may help some of the photographers watching your wonderful videos and it may help Tony too? Just a suggestion... Merci pour tout ce que tu fais de toute façon.

Perhaps at some point, I may do that thanks for the suggestion Erimus!
