Sorry for repeating myself once again, but this is ruly an amazing place. I enjoyed the photos very much. The fog creates this sense of moodyness and atmosphere that you can't get on a clear day.
Love the mossy tree shot! Personally find it tricky to get a good shots out of interesting trees, almost always things that clutter or in the way etc. The winding river shot after that was also very nice!
I know this area - it is very difficult to calm the chaotic riot of greenery and have it make sense - a certain amount of sensory overload! Great job, and very lovely to have a visit with the falls in the warmth of my home. Thank you!
Another wonderful vlog. Likewise, I found Qualicum Falls beautiful but challenging to capture; I just couldn't translate my vision through the camera. You've done a fine job, however (and given us a few pointers along the way), so perhaps I'll try again in the future. Keep these vlogs coming! Cheers.
Thanks, AM! Well, I have to admit that the fog and mist helped considerably. Qualicum is a hard place to capture as is Englishman River Falls. I made a quick trip over to Englishman River after I finished here and couldn't find anything, the fog had lifted.
I have been stuck indoors with a fractured wrist and your videos have really been helping with keeping my enthusiasm high. I watch about three or four each morning while having coffee the wrist is starting to improve a bit so I think I’m going to venture out tomorrow, maybe to one of our local ponds Thank you so much for the excellent work Adam
Adam, I especially appreciate your points on choosing a good composition in all your videos ..... something I need to be more mindful of to produce better images. Also, love the level of saturation in all your work - nothing ever overdone ..... As a fellow Vancouverite your work inspires me to get out to all the wonderful areas in our backyard. Thanks
I must admit that it is a challenge to get inspired when it rains for weeks, but we are sure lucky to have all of this nature so close to Vancouver, very spoiled.
Great Vlog once again Adam, they are always so relaxing to watch and informative at the same time. Can I say that your drone footage is some of the nicest in all the vlogs I follow, it`s always so understated but ads so much to the video, keep it up and thank you for your efforts.
The last image(winding river) moves me the most. It reminds me of the masterpieces of black and white Asian pictures. And the music you chose suits the image perfectly. Thank you.
I thought I had pressed the bell for notifications (but hadn't) so coming to this on Christmas Eve.... fabulous imagery and your vlogs have a quality to them that needs more coverage I say. The transitions are so well put together and matched the dreamlike feel to the location superbly. I look forward to following your journey in 2018. Best wishes Adam .... and Nadolig Llawen
The fog really did add a wonderful mysteriousness to the feel of the image .... those big narly trees are awesome .... cheers as always for sharing ....
Thanks for watching! The area just up the road from Qualicum (Cathedral Grove) has some immense Douglas Fir, hundreds of feet tall. Hopefully, at some point, I'll do a bit of a vlog there as well. Cheers, Nigel!
A great video Adam. Beautiful shots too. I wonder if it might be possible to add the Exif data on the photos. We can definitely learn from it as well. Thank you kindly.
Thanks, Ivo! If you click on the "show more" under the video description I have posted some of the basic camera information such as iso, shutter speed and so on. Hope that helps?
Hello Adam, I just discovered your channel. What a joy! Beautiful images, superb drone footage, great vlogs ! I'm binge watching your videos. Just a shame for the frequently hunting autofocus. Maybe a 6DMkII would correct that weakness nicely.
Thanks! Yeah, the autofocus on the Sony RX 100 m3 is a bit of a problem, at some point, I'll upgrade. The problem with the 6D and similar cameras is that it's more to carry and I'm already loaded down.
I really liked the photo of the tree with the moss hanging on it. Very other-worldly looking. Do you find when you shoot those that you reduce the vibrance or desaturate the images in LR? I like that muted, subdued look and didn't know if the as shot color gave that or you desaturated it to get there.
Thanks, Philip! The RAW image was pretty desaturated to start with so I didn't have to reduce it too much. I reduced the saturation in Photoshop. Thanks again.
Simply stunning work Adam. Your images totally capture the beauty of the Great Outdoors in Canada, and your video editing skills are wonderful too. Totally subscribed and looking forward to seeing a lot more of your work.
Karin made me a new hat after I told her of your last comment about the black hat, haha We shopped for the most colourful wool that we could find. Cheers, Guy!
I wish you had mentioned rough times in your videos. I am visiting Qualicum and Port Renfrew for a week in late June early July. Hope there will be some misty mornings.
A lot of your scenes might benefit from your love interest decked out in antique colorful Tyrollean garb & wicker backpack , about to pluck a magic mushroom from the forest floor . When next in N. Europe , this might be an excuse to comb the used clothing shops . Bring your camera .
Haha! when I was a kid I used to wear a scarlet bowler hat that had a peacock feather stuck in the side of it. My dad bought it for me one Christmas, I must have looked ridiculous. I loved that hat and then someone from school stole it :-( In my climbing days I used to wear wool knickers, does that count, lol. Thanks, Peter!

The only thing that outdoes the comments, is the photography, video and drone footage......I'm hooked!!!!
Great! don't forget to get out and shoot though, haha
Sorry for repeating myself once again, but this is ruly an amazing place. I enjoyed the photos very much. The fog creates this sense of moodyness and atmosphere that you can't get on a clear day.
So true, light is everything. Thanks, Marieta!
stunning production , another great vlog Adam thanks ;)
Thanks, Nathan!
Rally enjoyed the video Adam. What a fantastic setting and the misty weather really added to the atmosphere.
Thanks, Neil! Good to hear.
Nice to see some brilliant shots from our good 'ol Island...thanks for sharing, Adam!
Another great video and some awesome photos!
Thank you, Richard.
Gorgeous images & presentation style was awesome, Adam. Thanks once again. Have a lovely time ahead.
Love those intro shots, amazing work.
Thanks Adam for addressing photographic challenges with the wild Vancouver Island landscape and demonstrating possible ways of capturing it!
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
Great video and great shots. My fav is the tree shot ☺️
Good to hear, thanks, Nicklas!
Love the mossy tree shot!
Personally find it tricky to get a good shots out of interesting trees, almost always things that clutter or in the way etc.
The winding river shot after that was also very nice!
Thanks! I agree, tree shots are very hard. It would have been great to have some of the fog by the river as well, perhaps another time.
Beautiful video and pictures Adam! Made my day. Thank you for your work and thank you for sharing.
Captivating video Adam! First time I have encountered a post from you and I will definitely be back for more! Thank you!
Thanks, Charlene!
yet another great video cheers have a great xmas
Happy holidays to you also, thanks!
Thank you for sharing Adam. Great photo's.
Another really enjoyable vlog.
Brilliant again. Mate thank you
Thanks, Paul!
Your videos are so calming and peaceful so how can I not watch them at 3:30 in the morning!
I know this area - it is very difficult to calm the chaotic riot of greenery and have it make sense - a certain amount of sensory overload! Great job, and very lovely to have a visit with the falls in the warmth of my home. Thank you!
Thank you, Tinker!
The images and drone footage are stunning on their own, but the way you transition between the two is really quite magical. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, cheers!
Beautiful mystical shots👍🏻 lovely calm video bud
Cheers, Ninja warrior! haha
This was our first stop on our recent visit to Vancouver Island. My first view of eagles. Great memory.
Neat, they'll all be congregating soon for the herring run, hundreds of eagles then.
Another wonderful vlog. Likewise, I found Qualicum Falls beautiful but challenging to capture; I just couldn't translate my vision through the camera.

Really liked that Image with the mossy tree.
Thank you, Leffe49!
Hats off man, some stunning imagery here, love your drone work. Thankyou!
Thanks again, Paul!
Nice work. That certainly looks like a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Tony!

Great to hear! about getting out that is, not breaking your wrist that sucks.
As per usual great segment and drone footage yet again just great. Love the moss on the trees.
Thanks, Tom!
Beautiful video as always Adam! Great to see so many of the underrated and under visited spots on the Island in your videos.
Thanks, Vanexus!
Nicely done Adam. I tried photographing there this past March and had a hell of a time trying to make an image I liked. Well done on yours!
Yes, I have to admit Qualicum is a challenge. Out of all of the times that I have photographed in the area, this was the most productive.
My next spot for sure
Greatly enjoyed the video, I watched it twice! Great editing too!
Thanks, Dave!

ads so much to the video, keep it up and thank you for your efforts.
Thanks, Jeff! I agree, the drone stuff really adds to the production value. I guess the trick is not to have too much.
The last image(winding river) moves me the most. It reminds me of the masterpieces of black and white Asian pictures. And the music you chose suits the image perfectly. Thank you.
Loving your channel and photos Adam! Thank you!
Thanks, Bubbles! I mean Chris, lol.
Beautifuls Adam. Liked the name so I looked it up. ''Qualicum' means 'where the Dog Salmon run' according to the Pentlatch language.
Interesting I didn't know that, thanks, Cam!
Amazing !
Top quality as always, Adam!
Thanks again, Rafel.
Great images as usual !!!
Cheers, Paul!
Fantastic shots Adam - especially that first one - red jacket doing its job again :)
I know the red jacket keeps coming out, I just wear it all the time now, haha. Thanks, Richard!
Lovely images. With all the green and mosses they have an almost Jurassic feel to the area. Nice work and thank you for sharing.
Cheers, John!

Merry Christmas to you also Valley Walker, I cheated, had to find my welsh dictionary, haha. Thanks for the positive feedback, very much appreciated.
Once again stunning. Fav photography vlogger out there 👏👏
Glad to hear Andrew. Cheers!
really wonderful and atmospheric shots Adam.
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning shots, Adam! I also like how you use your drone. Very enjoyable!
Thanks, CathyAnn! I must admit the drone is a lot of fun to use.
The fog really did add a wonderful mysteriousness to the feel of the image .... those big narly trees are awesome .... cheers as always for sharing ....

Absolutely wonderful video Adam. Top notch in every respect. My favorite photo was the mossy tree. It has so much character.
Thanks, Ben! The tree was a nice find for sure, had a really great shape to it.
Amazing videos and an extraordinary scenery. I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks, Benjamin!

As always Adam I look forward to your excellent vlogs and always tick like first before they actually start. Such confidence in you.
Thanks, Allan! Andrew was one of the GIbb brothers, I'm Adam, haha
Hee Hee! And so he was ...
Helo Adam. I just sub. Beautyfull video, You are very inspired for me. Thanks
Thank you, Mirek!
Another great video. I especially like the photo of the gorge. Flat light and a bit of fog do the trick.
Love that fog, thanks, James!

I have got to get up there and book some time, maybe 2018, hopefully.
There are lots of great spots like Qualicum on the island, nice place to be for sure.
very beautiful forest , great images and nice to the hat is back ..:)
Karin made me a new hat after I told her of your last comment about the black hat, haha We shopped for the most colourful wool that we could find. Cheers, Guy!
Adam Gibbs excellent lol , you have a good wife there Adam ;) have a happy and peaceful holiday period..;) for sure it’s your signature look ..
I wish you had mentioned rough times in your videos. I am visiting Qualicum and Port Renfrew for a week in late June early July. Hope there will be some misty mornings.
8:26 In a situation like this do you open the aperture to try and create some separation?
Great work !
Excellent episode man! so dream like.. and you captured it all so well 😃
Cheers, CJ!
Very inspiring channel Adam, great videos, just fix your instagram link here, it doesn't work :)
Good to hear, thanks! also for the link issue.
