Brian, the moon images at 11:57 and 12:51 are absolutely stunning! Perfect! Also, I really like the one at 9:53. Truly fantastic work! I see your channel hitting the first 100k subs very soon 😃
Nice! Enjoy the trip. It's such a unique area, it's hard to describe. If it's a full moon, you'll be able to walk around at night without a light and still see. And unbelievably quiet - you can hear your pulse in your ears.
I don't know why the photo of the two Joshua trees reminded me of the the LP, Hotel California? Lovely evocative images. Grand scenery too. None of this in the wet old UK.
Great photo collection from this trip. Always great to see your videos. I'm looking forward to go photograph there this weekend. Keep up the great work!
You sure got some nice ones Brian. I’ve never been to Joshua Tree so it’s fun to see the location. I’m catching up so I still need to watch your next episode from JT.
Thanks Scott! It’s a very unique park for sure. Challenging to photograph at times. I think sunrise is better than sunset there personally, so I’ll be curious to hear which you like better!
@@brianbeattyphotography OK, I've watched the other one now. It's a tough choice because you did a nice job on both sunrise and sunset. I do like the trees in front of the rock walls very much and you got a couple nice ones here. But the sunrise ones are nice too with the warm morning light and long shadows. I will say I think you might want to consider some focus stacking to eliminate the blurred foregrounds which I find a bit distracting on some of them. But that's a personal choice and is just the way I approach my own work, not necessarily right for everyone. I do appreciate the tour of this area and I definitely want to get there someday. I really envy you SoCal guys who can reach so many of the best spots in the west in a days drive. Looking forward seeing what you get up to this Fall.
Thanks Scott! Sometimes I like the blurred foreground, but then there’s others where focus stacking is quite the challenge at 400mm. There’s a few I’d have like to do over but will save that for next time. Glad you liked the sunrise ones!
@@brianbeattyphotography That's one of the things I love about using a view camera, you can easily focus front to back with any lens when shooting along the ground like that or in similar situations. But of course, it has a whole other set of issues too! I have the same issues when using my 645z. Focus stack, stop down or deal with selective focus. Now, I may have told you I have a 5DSr and I have a Mirex tilt shift adaptor for it that allows me to use my Pentax 645 lenses. So I can have that same "view camera" capability with all my Pentax zooms, which I have out to 300mm. That's kinda cool. Anyway, take care.
Man those shots from start to finish were fantastic. My favorite was the very first shot and the focus stack. Even with the blue sky i thought you framed it perfectly. Happy the r5 survived. Great work in this one
I live 2 and a half hours away from there and haven't been there yet. There is also a Joshua Tree Park here in Arizona that is 2 hours away from me. You got a lot of great shots! My favorites were the photos at 8:00, 8:15, 9:52, and 12:50.
Ah man, you've got to make a trip someday soon! Especially now that the weather will be cooling off. It's such an otherworldly place. I haven't heard of the one in Arizona but will have to look into it. And thank you, I'm glad you liked those ones! The one at 9:52 is my favorite from the first day.
A very successful day, well done. My favourite image would be the one at 9:50. In a future video would it be possible to go through step by step for taking a shot with the 5ds R. Your complete workflow would be appreciated.
Thank you John! I think that’s my favorite as well. And for sure, I can consider doing a video like that. What specifically do you have in mind? Like setting up/settings/focusing/editing?
@@brianbeattyphotography I was thinking along the lines of setting up, focusing and exposure, using the histogram & Liveview. Just the steps you take in detail, along with the thought process for the scene. Perhaps also an example in Manual Mode as well. I'm not sure if you shoot Aperature Priority or Manual. I recently picked up a 2nd hand 5ds R so this would be helpful. There aren't many videos on youtube covering the whole process, usually the settings alone aren't that helpful. Much appreciated.
Got it, thanks for the feedback! I’ll be a bit more deliberate on my next trip 👍. Congrats on grabbing one, it’s my favorite camera! I hope you’re enjoying it so far
Thanks Steve! I'm fortunately close enough that I can drop into this park with just a short drive, unlike many of the others I'd like to visit more frequently. And you are so right - I have weather alerts set up for so many places I'd like to visit given the right conditions. One of them is actually Joshua Tree in the winter... I'd love to make a trip back if I can catch this area under a snowstorm!
@@SteveMillerhuntingforfood haha so true! I'm not far from you, and am thankful that Joshua Tree is so close. I wish we were closer to Sequoia/Redwoods though..
Я по-прежнему считаю, что изображения 5DsR превосходят изображения R5, когда у меня есть время правильно настроить и выбрать правильную экспозицию. R5 отлично подходит для большинства случаев, но для пейзажной фотографии со штативом и временем на подготовку кадра 5DSR по-прежнему остается королем!
@@brianbeattyphotography Благодарю! Наверное, я приобрету "пятерку", тем более, что цена на него сегодня, вполне адекватная👌, а пока для себя снимаю на Canon 40d, с обьективом 70-200/2.8 ll L и 24-70/2.8 l L
Very nice! I loves me some Joshua trees, adding the Moon is a great bonus.
Thanks! I actually made the trip for this one specifically because it was one of the super moons or something like that
Brian, the moon images at 11:57 and 12:51 are absolutely stunning! Perfect! Also, I really like the one at 9:53. Truly fantastic work! I see your channel hitting the first 100k subs very soon 😃
Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed them. And if you’re right about that I’ll get to travel a lot more haha! Just tell 99k of your closest friends 😎👍
@@brianbeattyphotography Will do, buddy! 😃
I like your relaxed videos and very nice images, good photography work. Cheers.
Thanks Luigi! Glad you liked the images. Have a good one!
Thanks for the video. One of my favorite parks in California..
Glad you liked it! It’s such an interesting location for sure. Unlike any other park I’ve ever visited.
Always a good day when multiple opportunities present themselves.
Orange Sunset!!!!
Thanks Chuck! Definitely a great day. Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome Shots!!! Wonderful colors!!!!
Thanks! It was a great day to shoot in the desert.
I will be here in a month. Super excited to photograph this area!
Nice! Enjoy the trip. It's such a unique area, it's hard to describe. If it's a full moon, you'll be able to walk around at night without a light and still see. And unbelievably quiet - you can hear your pulse in your ears.
Great Joshua Tree Video, thanks for sharing
thanks!
Very beautiful place
Definitely a great destination!
Truly fantastic images especially the one with the two shades of blue mountains behind the Joshua tree
Thanks Perry! That was one of my favorites.
I don't know why the photo of the two Joshua trees reminded me of the the LP, Hotel California? Lovely evocative images. Grand scenery too. None of this in the wet old UK.
Haha thanks! And I can imagine it’s very different from the UK. Glad you liked them!
Great photo collection from this trip. Always great to see your videos. I'm looking forward to go photograph there this weekend. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! And enjoy. It’s such a fun and unique place to go photograph
Really do dig your vlogs . They have a Nick Carver vibe to them…hopeful that’s not received negatively.
Thanks Gayle! I'm a huge fan of his, so I take it as a huge compliment.

Amazing shots
Thanks Anthony! Appreciate it 👍
You got some great photos from that trip, especially the contrast in colours from day to night.
Thanks Russ! The desert sunset is always something to see, really brings the park to life. Glad you enjoyed them!
Man those shots from start to finish were fantastic. My favorite was the very first shot and the focus stack. Even with the blue sky i thought you framed it perfectly. Happy the r5 survived. Great work in this one
Thanks tim! Glad you enjoyed them. The blue sky wasn’t the most cooperative but I’m glad it worked out.
Cool shots dude
Thanks Chris!

And I generally shoot aperture priority mode, set iso to 100, and let the camera calculate shutter speed as I always use a tripod with the 5dsr.
Hi Brian. Great video. Where in JT are you? What entrance did you go in?
Thanks! I just went in the main entrance and made it to roughly middle of the park?
That looks like it was a rewarding trip, several very nice images. To do well at landscape photography; you need to be part amateur meteorologist.
Thanks Steve! I'm fortunately close enough that I can drop into this park with just a short drive, unlike many of the others I'd like to visit more frequently.

@@brianbeattyphotography I'm in Orange County, so that is a quick drive for me too. So little time; so many places I want to shoot.
@@SteveMillerhuntingforfood haha so true! I'm not far from you, and am thankful that Joshua Tree is so close. I wish we were closer to Sequoia/Redwoods though..
Красивые кадры👌А скажи друг, почему не на R5, а на 5DSr?
