I see an f4 sequel. It would feature the first ever electric scooter tour of Northern California. Everyone gets a vest with Grumpy Gang across the back. Gavin would find some way to fall over multiple times. Nick would be slow and steady. Tom would be zipping around in circles. And the finale would be Adam somehow ending up in Reno.
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Adam... I not only love your photography but I'm also impressed with the quality of your video "images". There have been several times in your videos where your entry into a video sequence catches me off-guard and I think I'm looking at one of your showcased still photographs. Cheers!
One of my favorite things you do is photograph flat compositions. I live in Florida and it is flat.. so learning to find interesting compositions is challenging. Thanks for these videos. I really do appreciate learning from you.
Love the 2nd and 3rd shots. Brian’s was very nice as well. Being from the east coast there are some lovely landscapes but nothing compared to your west coast. Nice photos as usual. I have watched all of your videos.
For a bit there at the beginning of the video I though I had accidentally clicked on a Nick Page video. That dramatic music and moody shots of the scooter and helmet made me think of Nick's monster truck but then I saw you and Bri, in the pink helmet riding down the lane. LOL, as always another great video!
👍 Thanks for the third printing of the book Adam. I came to your channel after the 1st and 2nd printings as I was going thru your back catalog of videos. I was excited when I got to your current videos and saw the 3rd printing! I hope to make my own book some day.
Awesome spot mate, then shots with the sunset were beautiful buddy! And the others were very will composed. I would worry about moving the odd object lol
I did like your placement of the leaf. I also like Brian's shot too. The colors at sunset are amazing. Thank you for sharing!!! Those scooters look like fun. Nice recovery by Brian, LOL. Thank you again for bringing us along.
Thank you for all the videos you put out for us. I look forward to them. It jelp to keep me sain during thia hard time i am having right now. You are wonderful.
Omg, the horror! You moved a leaf! 😳😂. Interesting rock formations, one could get lost in there for days I suspect. Especially with the puddles and interesting sky. That scooter and lit up helmet, pretty cool. 😎 Looks like you and Brian had a lot of fun. Great video 👍
This was a nice reminder to get out and shoot for practice, something I've not done enough of since the pandemic started. I'll have to get out this fall when it cools down some. Loved the bike helmet! That was bad ass!
I love the patterns of that beach. You did an awesome job with your compositions. This motivates me to go out an find comps in my local area. No matter the light. There’re treasures everywhere 😄
Moving the leaf completely destroyed the Feng Shui and could have lead to the collapse of the space time continuum as we know it. 😯 Is there no purity in landscape photography these days. Nice picture though and I also love a good sunset 😀
I thought it was a trailer for a new Tron movie ! I really like your shots when you find details, small parts in the landscape. Thank you for your work
YES, practice practice practice is always GOOD! Love how the sky blues are reflected on the rock patterns around 10 min mark... the rocks shapes, shadows etc at 11 min mark are a little like Edward Weston's peppers collection... sorry Adam... I prefer Brian's rendition
another great one Adam, love spending Sunday mornings with a coffee watching a video. The open scene was classic, I watched it a second time with Born to be wild playing😂
LOL! Which one would Adam be? He's not crazy enough to be the Hopper character, or straight laced to be Nicholson - his Birkenstocks would go with a suit. So if I were playing the Born to be Wild party game, Adam would be the Peter Fonda character. Maybe Gavin would be Dennis Hopper's character. 🤣
Show started with an add for “mobility aides” and then you rolled in on a scooter, classic. Just lucky Gavin wasn’t there, what a debacle that would have been. Good to see a couple of long exposure sunset images at the end, nice. Stay safe Adam😷🇦🇺
You need a name for your scooter gang. "Heck's Angels"? "Sons of Antiquity"? "The Mild Bunch"? I agree with the square crop on the first composition. Did you consider monochrome? Also, is it just my astigmatism or do square compositions always look slightly vertical? EDIT: I like Brian's leaf composition the best.
The scooters were a very special touch, loved that! Lol! But seriously, thank you for demonstrating the obvious value in practicing photography even when you don't love the light. The final photos were so artistically pure, free of all the chaos in the surroundings, it was impressive to see how you found shadows and curves and serenity (and a crocodile as a bonus!) through the lens. Beautiful images.😍
Electric scooters are a bit of a mess in the UK. Apparently, they are illegal to use on the pavements and they are illegal to use on the roads. Police have been seizing electric scooters from users they have stopped. Then there are councils who have installed escooters in their towns & cities where members of the public can hire out scooters using a phone app, and use the escooters to get about dropping them off at different charging stations dotted around the town...seemingly these are not illegal, but owning and using one yourself is. So we have privately owned and used escooters being confiscated as they are deemed illegal to use in public places but you can hire & use council supplied ones legally. It's a crazy situation. Police have stated that escooters are illegal to use on the road as they don't have insurance (& no one seems to be offering insurance for them), & yet other road users also don't have insurance but are not illegal, like push bikes and horse riders. Good to see Canada seems to be more sorted on this subject.
Actually escooters are not legal in Canada either but for now the police don’t seem to concerned. I think the part that probably ruined it for many areas are the rental scooters where you can just drop them anywhere. I think folk that rented them just didn’t follow any rules causing a lot of complaints. You’re right though the hypocrisy is ludicrous
Another great video Adam, have you thought of trying a camera skin for your GFX, I added one to mine and it was pretty easy to do. I find the GFX can scratch easily. I just picked up a tilting adapter and they sure are a great addition, damn expensive. Was going to buy Antony's but you beat me to it...lol I bought the Lifeguard one (camera skin)
Oh wow Adam, you ran your boy of the road; Dude that was cold! Actually that was kind of funny, and I am glad he came out OK. That's the real truth. Take it easy Adam, and stop dogged out Bri. Peace!
Nice Structures you captures. Seems you had fun with that scooter. I think i would prefer a bicycle where i could better attach some bags with gear or food…
Hi, Adam. My question's probably been asked and answered a million times before - but what is that protruding viewfinder on top of your camera? Is it standard for that model, or an extra that you've purchased and added yourself? (I use Canon, so not come across these before!)
Clearly Bryan's version was superior as he was using the square root of the golden ratio as the basis for his composition compared to Adam's amateurish attempt.
It's based on a cumulative score from a series of four images entered into the contest. The entry with the highest score is the winner. There is also a winner for one overall photo as well.
Hey Adam, have you ever considered traveling to Newfoundland to shoot icebergs? I've been shooting icebergs here for nearly 20 yrs and they're a real treat and challenge to include in a composition.
Each video is a lesson in colour science. The processed raw is always art, the camera raw a bit more vivid than the video, perhaps. Which is more realistic? Who cares! They are all great.
I fear it's hardly worthy of a Steppenwolf soundtrack. :-( I remember in Gavin's video he came across some sad soul who was roadkill in the wreckage of his Hardly Grumpison: Hardcastle wisely passed on and left the clearup to the professionals. And in these difficult times, think before you scoot - is your journey strictly necessary??
Unfortunately privately owned e-scooters are still illegal on public highways in the UK. Can only be used on private land with the land owners permission. :(
@@neml5755 .... and these sellers say at the end of the description: "This product is to be used on private land only, with the landowner's permission, and not on public highways."
You are making Brits who abide by the law very jealous. We aren't allowed to use these legally on public highways, despite their obvious benefits for short local journeys.
There have been a number of fatal accidents in London, though. But they're trialling hired scooters in a few places which look much more robust than the ones you can buy, and have a limited top speed (about 12 mph I think).
If you can avoid getting a haircut until 2023, I'll win my $100 bet. If you can avoid getting a haircut until 2025, I'll win $1000. Thanks for your cooperation. I'm sure you have no intention any time soon so I feel good about my wagers.
Really beautiful places !!! Waiting for the right light is like fishing ... thanks for sharing !!!

Bloody tearaways rousting about the place and taking photos. You'll get thick ears when your Mum's find out. 😁 Great stuff Adam!

Always interesting how two people see things differently
Good composition lessons are brain exercises. Thanks
Hands down I like the moved leaf photo best. Live by the leaf!
Very useful discussion of finding coherent compositions amid chaos. Thank you.
Awesome spot mate, then shots with the sunset were beautiful buddy! And the others were very will composed. I would worry about moving the odd object lol

I like Brian’s still with the leaf standing out
I love this episode. It would be awesome to see Adam, Brian, and Gavin together in some future episodes.
Omg, the horror! You moved a leaf! 😳😂.
Interesting rock formations, one could get lost in there for days I suspect. Especially with the puddles and interesting sky.
That scooter and lit up helmet, pretty cool. 😎 Looks like you and Brian had a lot of fun. Great video 👍
Your 3rd edition book Quiet Light just arrived from Kozu Books. Inspirational!
This was a nice reminder to get out and shoot for practice, something I've not done enough of since the pandemic started. I'll have to get out this fall when it cools down some. Loved the bike helmet! That was bad ass!
I love the patterns of that beach. You did an awesome job with your compositions. This motivates me to go out an find comps in my local area. No matter the light. There’re treasures everywhere 😄
That shoreline area is amazing, unlimited angles to shoot as the light and seasons change.
oh for sure
Thanks for another great video...more photo challenges please! I like seeing what different photographers come up with.
Moving the leaf completely destroyed the Feng Shui and could have lead to the collapse of the space time continuum as we know it. 😯 Is there no purity in landscape photography these days. Nice picture though and I also love a good sunset 😀

I ALWAYS enjoy your videos, Adam. 👍🦘🇦🇺
another awesome video, thank you Adam
Great job finding compositions in the chaos but the second sunset does it for me.
YES, practice practice practice is always GOOD! Love how the sky blues are reflected on the rock patterns around 10 min mark... the rocks shapes, shadows etc at 11 min mark are a little like Edward Weston's peppers collection... sorry Adam... I prefer Brian's rendition
Heck yeah! Comedy bits at the end.
That looked like a great “play around with my camera” place with the boulders and lava. Loved the seccond last shot with the little light.
Calm video with good advice ------ not sure why its so tranquil --- on reflection it could be due to the absence of Gavin LOL
Very nice video, lots of interesting stuff - thanks. And btw, those stunts were cunning ;--)
Great images. Do not let Gavin have a go on that scooter

Felt like the opening of Twin Peaks…nicely done!!
Show started with an add for “mobility aides” and then you rolled in on a scooter, classic.
Just lucky Gavin wasn’t there, what a debacle that would have been.
Good to see a couple of long exposure sunset images at the end, nice.
Stay safe Adam😷🇦🇺
Wow, the screen looks incredible on that gfx100.
your closing sunsets were super :)
You need a name for your scooter gang. "Heck's Angels"? "Sons of Antiquity"? "The Mild Bunch"?

I also sometimes see square crops as slightly vertical - I think it depends on the elements within the frame, such as vertical trees.
Great as always Adam. Makes me want to get out and practice, even if the weather is drab right now. Though needed more pipes. ;)
Beautiful video Adam, loved those pictures. When i see those rocks i always wonder how earth, nature created this.
"Hells Grandads." Great start to a great video Adam.

It is an add on made by Fuji for the GFX

I'm very curios about your International Landscape Photography Award. It's based on one photography or for one year work?
Congrats and thanks!
It's based on a cumulative score from a series of four images entered into the contest. The entry with the highest score is the winner. There is also a winner for one overall photo as well.
@@QuietLightPhoto thanks. Do you have a link to your wining photos?
I searched on Google but not found something specific. Thanks!

Hey Adam, have you ever considered traveling to Newfoundland to shoot icebergs? I've been shooting icebergs here for nearly 20 yrs and they're a real treat and challenge to include in a composition.
Would a polarising filter help to reduce the glare off the water?
While both leaf compositions were nice, I liked the first better before you moved the leaf. In my mind, it looks like the leaf is beginning a journey.
I preferred the first leaf photo as well.
did that leaf sign a model release ?
A little scooter like this looks nice for my short trip to work. What was the brand/model if you don’t mind sharing?
Synergy, Brian’s I’m not sure, no name stamped on it.
Love making order out of chaos. I find it interesting that 15K watch the video but only 2K respond. Tough crowd.
could those scooters be put into service with any kind of incline and a rucksack on your back Adam?
Yes the more powerful scooter has no issues going up hills with a pack.
Oh looked like starwars, Oh just bikers we always enjoy your videos Mr. Gibbs ...
Each video is a lesson in colour science. The processed raw is always art, the camera raw a bit more vivid than the video, perhaps. Which is more realistic? Who cares! They are all great.
Scooter Rage 🛴 all over a leaf 🍂 🤣
Damn right!
@@QuietLightPhoto 🤣✌️ You pick next time hehe.
Maybe a polariser in the first shot?
Opening sequence, courtesy of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial :-D
If I rode one of those in my town, they’d have to use my dental records to ID the remains.
Does Brian have a youtube channel ? can't find it
Yes it’s under Bri Barnham
What is the scooter brand? I´m curious to use one with offroad capacity xD
Synergy, but I’m not sure this one Is made for off-road? They’re are better brands for that sort of thing
I fear it's hardly worthy of a Steppenwolf soundtrack. :-( I remember in Gavin's video he came across some sad soul who was roadkill in the wreckage of his Hardly Grumpison: Hardcastle wisely passed on and left the clearup to the professionals.

Wait. You actually wished for MORE blue sky?! :^)
Sorry I do like the composition of Brian more :))
🥰
No more RAW file view? :)

You should get a booster board. Get rid of the scooter my dude
