Fab video Adam and such a lovely abstract intro of the seals. It was nice to see them so un-phased by the drone, as their behaviour remained completely unaltered throughout the sequence (apart from the odd inquisitive glance). Over here, photographers and seals don't mix anymore unfortunately and photographing them can be frowned upon, especially as we can only get close to them out of the water during birthing and breeding.
Loved this video.The rocks are fascinating they almost look like seals lazing around. Great textures to work with, as you said Adam a "bit of dodging and burning will bring out the dimentions in the image. I can't wait for part 2. You are seriously talented.
Lovely and varied locations you show here Adam, this Hornby island is quite amazing! Loved the rocks on that beach, that must be beautiful with a little higher tide. I like a lot the image with the red arbutus, and how you explained the thinking behind it. Thanks for these great photography lessons!
Quite a fascinating intro to the naturalist viewpoint at the beginning. Towards the end I appreciate your going into what does make (or doesn't make) a good composition. And then showing us your vision of the Red/yellow manzanitas.
Since discovering your channel a few weeks ago I have figured out that I can just go ahead and click the like button before I've even watched the video. I'm pretty sure If I lived near gorgeous landscapes, I would be doing what you're doing. I received my D850 today. Can't wait to find a local landscape composition.
I think those Arbutus are what we call Pacific Madrone (at least in California). Manzanita are usually smaller shrubs with very similar looking bark. Both are very beautiful, Madrone in particular has so many colors it can be. Great video and nice tips on reducing the chaos. Looking forward to the continuation.
Always a joy to watch your videos. That final image reveal had me shaking my head in that kind of 'he couldn't have described that scene any better' fashion. Superb
Thanks, Tony! It wasn’t my favourite image from the trip but sometimes it also helps me to talk a composition out so that I can figure out what the important elements are and what isn’t.process of elimination I guess.
Hi Adam. I only discovered your videos recently even though I live very near Hornby Island on the east side of Vancouver Island. First I will mention your opening drone shot was a colony of Stellar's sea lions. Sea lions are much larger than our harbour seals and quite differnt in many other respects. We also have California sea lions which are smaller and not so abundant as the Stellar's. We have seldom been to Hornby as it is so much trouble to get to. We planned a trip last September and booked a B&B near Helliwell. The weather was horrendous. On the ferry crossing to Hornby the waves were crashing over the vehicles on the ferry deck. Our equipment in the back of the truck was soaked and a tarp covering my wife's mobility scooter was blown off. I would like to spend more time on Hornby doing some photography but it is difficult. I enjoy your photography and your drone videos.
Thanks, Robert! Hornby is well worth a visit. Summer is not a great time though as the tourists are a bit overwhelming. Denman is also very nice and less popular.
Cheers, Dan! That's right! I couldn't remember the name, thanks for that. I did look up Manzanita and it would seem that we do have them here, I believe the Manzanita is slightly smaller? Perhaps more of a shrub?
You seem a little down in this video.I can understand too .As you said ,We photograph light.I did enjoy your drone work in the intro.The rocks photo was unearthly.I have nothing like around my neck of the woods.Keep up the great videos.
Interesting rock formations on the island and see some excellent opportunities for some great shots. Another beautiful location and photo adventures with Adam Gibbs.
I realize I'm a couple months behind the curve ball here Adam, but I feel compelled to add my 2¢... The seals swimming among'st the kayaks felt like they were saying " Welcome to our World... " The 2 stitch panorama is simply gorgeous. Looks like 2 horizontals combined & cropped to a 9 x 16? Very well done... I also appreciate your approach on how best to compose the very chaotic arbutus trees which are strikingly beautiful btw. I'm not sure if the reddish skin is the outer cambrian layer or not! This is a tree unknown to me, until now that is! Bill Farr... :-)
Hello Adam, your intro was spectacular in the extreme. I believe you would do very well also in the Movie Business if you wished. You have a marvelous eye for a scene. Pity about that light, at first I thought, nothing special about this place. However, once I saw your drone work I just wanted to be there. As always Adam, thank you, for sharing your talent with us ...
Thanks, Allan! You mean Helliwell Park? Helliwell is one of those areas that is fantastic to visit but hard to capture on film. You know after I had viewed the drone footage I really think that the best way to approach photographing Helliwell would be with a drone, better angles on the cliffs.
The first Image went out irregardless with a great sky colour. Loved that image with those peculiar stones. You have such much wonderful locations Adam, so I have to say I ENVY you. :)
Hey Adam, I have been really enjoying your VLOGS!.. FYI the honeycombed weathering textures in the coastal sandstone outcrops is called tafoni. On the coast it is often caused by salt weathering.
Steve! I knew you would show up when I mentioned anything to do with rocks, haha. Hope all is well with you? Thanks for setting me right. Now that you mention Tafoni I do recall hearing that was what the rock formations are called, cheers, Stephen!
Yep another great segment. I agree with the post below, you and Simon Baxter can really do trees. I just love how you can extract a wonderful shot from trees. I love taking trees but they miss.
I think if you can find one eye catching element within a scene with trees and zero in on that then it helps. In the next segment I end up taking a few close ups of the bark that I like more than the overall scene shot. The colour was just too good to pass on for sure. Thanks, Tom!
Beautiful Place. I remember my first time I came upon an Arbutus tree. How fascinating it was with it's skin-like soft branches as it sheds it's harder bark. Stunning colours, and one very important fact is... "the keep their leaves all year round". Loved the way you pulled the out the contrasts and colours in your Sandstone image. Also loved the Drone shots over the seals. Another success :)
Another corker!! Such an inspiration to us all, alway going that extra mile. Loving the rocks and colours from the sea shot,Amazing drone footage Congratulations on your award sorry could not post a reply on facebook as I cannot leave a comment . Best wishes
Thanks, Nathan! My apologies, I get so many friend requests that I ignore many of them, friends now though, lol. I have over four thousand friends that I have no idea who they are, haha. Thanks again, very much appreciated.
Adam Gibbs nah it was all good, it was just that the intro was spectacular. You’ve set yourself a high bar now...I’m expecting some special in the next vlog. Shots from space perhaps 👍
Cheers, Simon! Is there anything in the UK that is similar to Arbutus? They're are fabulous but always look half dead and bedraggled, as you can see. Still, the colour was just too good to pass up.
@@QuietLightPhoto It was Arbutus that drew me into this video (I've been binging on your videos recently), because we had one in our garden in Dartmouth, England - until it was blown down in a strong wind exactly five years ago. Then I realised that we had the other species, from the Mediterranean, known as a Strawberry Tree (bit.ly/2SYOt7x). With each of your videos the desire to visit British Columbia with my camera increases by 5% ...
Hey, Adam. Not sure about the seals either, but the vlog was stellar. Those arbutus trees are quite attractive and you managed to eliminate a lot of the distractions. We've an arbutus here in Massachusetts but it's a wildflower...actually the state's wildflower aka trailing arbutus...and is in the same family as madrone...Ericaceae. One could spend hours with those sandstone rocks and they must be quite cool in appearance when surrounded by the receding tides.
BTW, you mentioned selling image rights to calendars and that reminded me that your Althabasca Falls image graced one of the weeks in the January Sierra Club desk calendar a few weeks ago. Nice. Love frozen waterfalls.
Thanks, David! I was really happy with the drone footage as well, I thought that perhaps it might be a bit disturbing for the seal but it didn't seem to bother them at all.
Another great episode Adam... your video/drone work compliments the footage so well although I am not really a film buff, more stills. The images were great and thanks for exploring and recording these AG adventures, great to see other parts of the world through your eyes. . Looking forward to the 2nd part already. :)
A wonderful island Adam and some lovely images. I was wondering if you had heard of Mike Tomkies? He was a well known journalist he gave it up to become a naturalist. I think it was about 1967 that he moved to BC for a time before returning to the UK and Scotland in particular. A really nice guy and a fascinating lifestyle for those of us with a love of the natural world. Thanks again for another very enjoyable vlog.
Thanks for this Trevor! I had never heard of Tomkies, just read up on him, what a fascinating guy. I'll have to see if I can find some of his writings. Cheers!
Adam Gibbs Well worth looking for some of his books Adam, I think you’d enjoy them as much as I did. The only one I didn’t enjoy was Moobli, which was a sad tale about his German Shepherd and as a dog owner and lover, I struggled to stay dry eyed.
Beautiful aerial love the seal island. I was wondering, did you remove the sound of the drone? I cold clearly hear the barking of the seals. I like the footage of the kayakers and seals. I think this is a place I need to go. I've only been to the Sunshine Coast once, total rain the whole time, loved it but could not photography anything worth keeping. Fascinating coastal rock formations. Thanks for sharing.
the drone doesn't have a mic so the sound I recorded just off the coast and added it to the footage in Final Cut Pro, for effect. if you do get a chance to visit you really should, great place to explore. thanks, Glen!
Adam that is a gorgeous image of those trees, love it. I was absolutely amazed at the textures on the tops of those rocks near the seals. Have you done any B&W studies of them focussing just on the pitted and textured tops of the rocks? Great video mate, looking forward to part two.
Thanks, Darren! I haven't done any back and white, yet. Those patterns are harder to photograph than you would think. I know that there is something there but I haven't had much luck. In the next video, I dod take a few wider shots that I'm happy with but not close-ups.
I'm sorry to say I have just come acroos you and your workshops youtube vlog today. I already have a 17 day trip booked to vancouver (from Scotland) on the 8th may, too late to book anything with you. Any locations you can recommend, I have a tour going up to Banff, but 4 days in Vancouver. Would love to book with you on a forthcoming workshop
Hi Gordon, I guess it really depends on what you like to photograph. If you get a chance to go over to Vancouver Island I can certainly recommend some spots. Vancouver is a little tricky because most of the good stuff is outside of the city, IMO. The city itself has some nice spots to photograph but I generally avoid the city. The only workshops that I do have are in September at the moment but will have offerings next year in the spring and fall, not sure if that helps you though. Glad to have you visit my channel, thanks!
Another amazing video! Wow! What an "another world" beginning! Again full of lots of great tips, my biggest failing is finding order out of chaos, people like yourself and Simon Baxter leave me amazed. Unfortunately I’m very limited in how much I can walk round with my camera, and I’ve had more than one collision trying to do the same on my scooter. Which is one of the main reason I don’t do street photography. I think you are the first Canadian I've heard use the word "Neat", as you don’t have a strong Canadian accent please may I ask if you are Canadian by birth?
Cheers, Mark! I was born in Watford and lived in Bletchley before it became swallowed up by Milton Keynes. Moved to Canada for the third time permanently when I was fourteen, 1979.
The “ arbrutus” ? trees look a lot like the Madrone trees we have in Nor Cal, which have a very orange bark, Manzanitas are smaller , many are bush like, (many species throughout the state) with a deep red, maroon bark color ...
Great video Adam! I like to discover new parts of my country through your videos. Are you planning any photography workshops in that area ? Cheers from Ottawa!
Thanks, Francis! Most definitely, Canada, I think is very much underrated photographically, except for the usual spots. Mike Grandmaison is good at promoting Canadian locations. At some point I would like to start covering other provinces. Problem is Canada is just so large, haha. I have thought about running a workshop on Hornby it's a perfect place for it. Perhaps in 2019.
Not really. Your best bet is to look at calendars that are similar to the images that you take, look up the address and ask for photo guidelines. Most calendar companies will have guidelines.

What a wonderful place, what a fantastic shots!!! Thank you so much for sharing those wonders!!!
Thanks, Victor!
Yet another inspiring location in that region.
Beautiful, gorgeous, spectacular... I have to get some dictionary to express myself... Thanks for sharing!
Haha, thanks, Andrzej!
Amazing shot of the rocks absolutely loved that 1st one !
Loved this video.The rocks are fascinating they almost look like seals lazing around.
Great textures to work with, as you said Adam a "bit of dodging and burning will bring out the dimentions in the image.
I can't wait for part 2.
You are seriously talented.
Thanks so much, Jillian!
Beautiful images(as always!) of what appears to be a beautiful island. You did a fantastic job of making sense of those chaotic trees at the end!
Thanks, plj0074! very much appreciated.
Great place can’t wait to see the next vlog 👍👍
Loved the journey and tips Adam. I continue to look forward to your latest VLOG. BIG Thumbs Up!
Thanks, Michael!
Lovely and varied locations you show here Adam, this Hornby island is quite amazing! Loved the rocks on that beach, that must be beautiful with a little higher tide. I like a lot the image with the red arbutus, and how you explained the thinking behind it. Thanks for these great photography lessons!
Hornby is very nice. No real epic scenes to photograph but a lot of detail type shots, love it there.

Haha, well that's good to know. You'll love the D850 it's a great camera for sure.
You don’t watch an Adam Gibbs video - you experience the pursuit of a compelling image. I always look forward to your next submission.
Great! good to hear, thanks, Doug!
I think those Arbutus are what we call Pacific Madrone (at least in California). Manzanita are usually smaller shrubs with very similar looking bark. Both are very beautiful, Madrone in particular has so many colors it can be. Great video and nice tips on reducing the chaos. Looking forward to the continuation.
Thanks, David! Yeah, I knew when I said Manzanita that it didn't sound right, thanks for setting me straight.

In the US Arbutus is called Madrone...
Beautiful video...
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Snoozing Lion!
fantastic video Adam - thank you, and well done with ILPOTY award
thanks, David! Ah yes, the awards, nice surprise that.
Amazing color in those trees! Another wonderful outing, quite envious.

Hi adam. I,m new to your channel snd spent all evening watching them and thoroughly enjoyed every one. Fantastic photography and great narration
welcome aboard! thanks, Jim!
Adam, I've heard of the Arbutus being called the Madrona in the US of A. Thanks for the great video of Hornby Is. Great production as usual.
Cheers, Dan! That's right! I couldn't remember the name, thanks for that. I did look up Manzanita and it would seem that we do have them here, I believe the Manzanita is slightly smaller? Perhaps more of a shrub?

really? have been going to bed a bit late, perhaps that's it, haha. Love Heron rocks, dos nee light though for sure. thanks, Mark!
Love it, especially the Tree's can't get enough of that red color.
What a beautiful looking place, great video
thanks, Ralph!
Interesting rock formations on the island and see some excellent opportunities for some great shots. Another beautiful location and photo adventures with Adam Gibbs.

Yes, the seals along the coast at that time of year are certainly very active. The last image is just one shot, slightly cropped. Thanks, Bill!

At the 9 minute 20 second mark...
Adam - I think you're under selling the location - it's beyond majestic. Wow. Great tips on controlled chaos.
Well, I don't want too many other photographers travelling there ;-) Thanks, Miguel!
The first Image went out irregardless with a great sky colour. Loved that image with those peculiar stones. You have such much wonderful locations Adam, so I have to say I ENVY you. :)
Thanks, Leffe! I must admit that there is definitely no shortage of possibilities in British Columbia.

What a lovely place - loved your rocks image
Love that you mix some facts about nature into these videos. Always good stuff!
thanks, Dave!
Love your videos and presentation style. 📸📸📸
Thanks!
I thought I’d accidentally tuned into an episode of Blue Planet! Amazing intro, loved it. As always, great content...well done.
Cheers, Simon! I loved the intro as well, best part about the whole video, lol.
Adam Gibbs nah it was all good, it was just that the intro was spectacular. You’ve set yourself a high bar now...I’m expecting some special in the next vlog. Shots from space perhaps 👍
Another great video Adam. Thanks for sharring.
Adam, love the images as always and also the story you're telling here about Hornby Island. The intro to this film is something to behold :)
Thanks, Adrian!
Great intro (love the seals) and those Arbutus trees are just fantastic - amazing colour!

Great video, Adam.
Another nice and super soothing video Adam :)
Cheers, Gavin! I'm on the island again this coming week. I might head up to Virgin Falls if you're interested.
Aye, I'd be up for the ride
Amazing video. I have recently found your channel and it is giving me a lot of destinations to visit, as I live in Victoria.
Victoria! not a bad place to be. Lots of great spots not far from where you live. Thanks, Alan!
We've got red smooth bark gum trees in Sydney which I reckon you'd really like.

Adam that is a gorgeous image of those trees, love it. I was absolutely amazed at the textures on the tops of those rocks near the seals. Have you done any B&W studies of them focussing just on the pitted and textured tops of the rocks? Great video mate, looking forward to part two.
Thanks, Darren! I haven't done any back and white, yet. Those patterns are harder to photograph than you would think. I know that there is something there but I haven't had much luck. In the next video, I dod take a few wider shots that I'm happy with but not close-ups.
I kinda wished you had shot those big round boulders your drone saw but hey - another time.
I'm sorry to say I have just come acroos you and your workshops youtube vlog today.

Muy younger brother is Canadian, I'm English, my older brother is Australian, haha.
Thank you for your answer, I really envy you and my only regret about being banned from flying is not visiting Canada.
The “ arbrutus” ? trees look a lot like the Madrone trees we have in Nor Cal, which have a very orange bark, Manzanitas are smaller , many are bush like, (many species throughout the state) with a deep red, maroon bark color ...
Great video Adam! I like to discover new parts of my country through your videos. Are you planning any photography workshops in that area ? Cheers from Ottawa!
Thanks, Francis! Most definitely, Canada, I think is very much underrated photographically, except for the usual spots. Mike Grandmaison is good at promoting Canadian locations. At some point I would like to start covering other provinces. Problem is Canada is just so large, haha. I have thought about running a workshop on Hornby it's a perfect place for it. Perhaps in 2019.
Great to hear! Keep me posted if you decide to go ahead with it! I agree, it is such a vast country to discover.
Do you have a good company / site to recommend when it comes to selling images for calanders etc?
Not really. Your best bet is to look at calendars that are similar to the images that you take, look up the address and ask for photo guidelines. Most calendar companies will have guidelines.
At 15:05, is that an ostrich on the left near the trees in the background!?
Haha man I like your jokes. I enjoy your videos :-D
Thanks, Ken! Don't want to get too serious, where is the fun in that? haha
Somptueux. I would triple thumb if possible.
No need, one thumb is good, lol. Thanks, Erimus!
