The swirl of bubbles makes a wonderful hero for the shot. Inspiring
The 2nd shot is one for the portfolio. So many different elements coming together. Brilliant stuff
Great effects with the bubbles and the composition’s are spot on. Another great lesson.
So pleased to see the return of your cinematic drone pieces. Your artistry in your images and drone vids is just at another level. You can’t buy your experience or eye, but you do inspire us to keep trying harder. Thank you.
Many thanks!
Brilliant! Your videos open my mind and eyes to so many more possibilities for things to look for and capture in the natural world. Photography trains us to see what we might otherwise overlook and possibly forget.
Great video as always but I think my favorite part is that you were outside. It’s so good to see things slowly going back to normal.
Really like the bubbles. I would not have thought of that. Thanks. Excellent video.
Awesome images! I loved the bubbles! Thank you for sharing.
Great stillt on a beautiful spring day
The shot is AMAZING Adam
Stunning location & beautiful images! You definately have the eye!
Wow those eddies are magic!!
It's always great therapy watching your videos, Adam. Time and again you draw the viewer into your photography so skilfully, that the vicarious experience almost seems real; you are every bit as accomplished with video photography as you are with still images. By the way, I remember a photography teacher once telling me to avoid having water flowing out of the bottom right of an image since it always takes the viewer's eye out and away from the main area of the photo. You have water flowing out to the left and this keeps the focus of the viewer inside the image; the circular eddy of bubbles, although on the right, also keeps the eye within the frame because it doesn't lead out of the image. I bet you do and know all this stuff intuitively! Beautiful work and thanks.
Thanks, Richard!
Absolutely beautiful stuff. I really admire your ability to have your raw and final so close.
Great location and beautiful waterfall to photograph.
Totally enjoy your videos and your photography! WoW!
Good to see you back out Adam stay well.
I don't believe that i would think of this... very good! Paying more attention to bubbles ;)
Beautiful and peaceful as always Adam, nice b-rol...
Beautiful location Adam. Love your images. Nice job.
Look forward to the F4 film
Me too!
Amazing Video and Still Photography, thanks Mr. Adam for sharing the experience...
Most of the time your content deserves more than a simple “thumbs up”. This episode is no exception. What a brilliant idea of (first seeing and then) capturing the swirling bubbles. Beautiful location.
Really looking forward to the F4 videos if your opening sequence here is anything to go by - 0:55 evocative musical introduction matching the watery setting, with the tone rising to greet our hero as he enters the scene... ;-)
Literally just watched the intro, and I’m loving the return of drone sequences and expert flying! I know it’s not strictly photography, but they really add to the narrative I think, and help set the scene for your chosen location 😃
Great video and amazing images as always. Hope you're staying safe and well.
I saw the bubbles, always tried to avoid them, but damn, they look so nice in that circle shape
Stunning place
Adam, your posts are just brilliant. The photos are excellent, your drone shots are spot on and immersive, your explanations are unmatched, the pacing is perfect. All the way around, just a joy to watch. Always.
Great video Adam! It´s crazy how good the RAW files from the Fuji are, they don´t seem to need a lot of editing to get to a nice place. That spot where you were taking those images is beautiful, and the captures, stunning. Keep up the good work!
Very nice, loved the photos Adam.
Adam’s images always have a unique character to them.....he sees things many others would miss....this is just one example.
You make it look so easy...nice vid
Relaxing and informative
Wonderful compositions and stunning images as usual. Keep up with great work. Greetings from Kamloops, BC
Many thanks!
I just love that first shot especially mate, a real quality shot the bubbles worked out perfectly
Adam,
The swirling looks like a cosmos!
Thank-You,
Mike
Beautiful shots! I've truly learnt something from this video. It seems so obvious now after watching this. I pay all my attention to the waterfall itself and not what the water is doing after it leaves the waterfall. Thanks Adam 👍🏻
All good. 👍 When the F4 project is ready, you all need to get together on one of those beer chats that Nick has been doing of late. Can't wait. Rock on!
Yes that's the plan, we will be announcing soon
Those drone shots are absolutely captivating Adam! Love the final images of the waterfalls! Such a lush scene captured so well!
I'm with you on the lovely greens during spring. Give me vibrant greens and wildflowers over the dead or dying trees of autumn any day. (I'm sure I'm the minority here. :D )
Setting the scene with the slow drone footage is a great intro - very cinematic. Too many people go too fast and too high, it's just makes it unpleasnt to watch; cliché drone footage. And your images are wonderful. Love those swirly bubbles! I really like the 2nd one with the bright green ferns in the foreground. I see you did catch the swirling bubbles in that image too. Nice!
I too have the Breakthrough, but the 3-stop CPL. I wish I had some falls to use it on. I'm heading north in a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll find something when I'm there. :) Thanks again for the great videos! I love seeing Vancouver Island through your eyes. Hope you're all well and happy. Looking forward to the next one, and the F4 project. Take care now!
Is there a Guinness record for flying a drone backwards... I bet you've got it! :) Beautiful shot!
Or more likely it was filmed going up the waterfall and played back in reverse.
No he does this a lot and he’s quite good at it... watch the water... it’s not flowing uphill :-)
@@robertwhitemoto Good point !
Very cool. thanks!
What a shot sir, CLASS 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
cool video keep up the great content
Amazing as usual man ohh I miss my photography lucky you grumpy :D
Lovely images Adam. The swirls add so much. And great drone footage as usual.
Just a thought. For those watching with less field experience, whenever adding a polarizing filter, show the effect via Live View (beyond just light blocking) so folks can see how much glare/reflections and or color enhancement you choose to add/remove.
Thanks you for this inspiring video
What an interesting spot Adam. I love waterfalls so a triple waterfall was always going to get me in. Superb use of the swirling water and the pattern the bubbles made on the right-hand side, created some great foreground interest and balanced the image nicely with the waterfall further in the background. The greens of the foliage were amazing, we don't get greens like that in Australia. Thanks for sharing mate, hope you are staying safe and well.
Andrew Marr. As a West Aussie, love your videos too, Andrew.
Glenda Rowland thanks very much Glenda, that’s very kind of you to say. Have you managed to get out since the restrictions have eased?
Hi Andrew. My husband and I have been going for a ‘mental health’ bush walk once a week within the borders. Not with the SLR though. Just a salve for the soul. Also love watching Adam and his colleagues videos. Fototripper is hilarious.
Thanks, Andrew! I'm guessing the greens are more of a blue-green in your neck of the woods? How about Daintree National Park?
Adam Gibbs yeah, we have a few different green, blue greens and grey greens, dusty muted greens of the bush. The Daintree Forest tend to have dark greens. Which just don’t seem to get the intense saturated greens like you. I just the closest I’ve seen are the greens found in some of the Tasmanian rain forest down south.
Nice tutorial today Adam!
I am always in awe of some of your more intrepid solo journeys - do you ever think about Sasquatch? or had any close calls with bears?
Bears I see quite often, usually running the other way. Sasquatch, I'm hoping to catch one.
The bubble photo is absolutely stunnin'
beautiful shots Adam.. perfect use case for those dark polarizers.. not always easy to find a situation for them.. but this was certainly it.
cheers, mate!
Once again I find myself smiling and nodding my head at your images. Well done.
I discovered the bubble technique 2 years ago at Laughing Whitefish Falls in Upper Mich by accident. Unfortunately it was a bit windy and the trees were not as in focus but now I love to find waterfalls with bubble trails. It adds such a beautiful effect and very easy to do. Great work Grumpy!
Beautiful! Thank you! I love the combination of drone b-roll and the explanations of your process for taking stills. Entertaining, inspiring, and educational. The look at your RAW files with settings and then your edited image are the icing on the cake. Such lovely images! Glad you got outside!
Wow Adam! Awesome waterfall shots. Absolutely love the scenery, & how you captured the vortex of bubbles swirling around. Thank you for sharing. 😄😃😍
Adam you nailed it this week.Your photo's are stunning.
Wow, now I am wishing that I lived near waterfalls. Those images are simply spectacular. Thank you.
Lovely spot, and the composition with the bubbles, circular motion with the water fall, really nice picture.
Love the first two images this week, really outstanding!
i like the video so much! i really enjoyed composition of your video footage, it is so interesting and there is always something to look at. i like the details you included in the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Adam! I especially liked seeing your different compositions of this beautiful place. I would not have thought about the bubbles swirling like that just by looking at the place, so that's a good tip for future waterfalls for me to consider!
Beautiful images once again, love the swirling bubbles!
Many thanks!
Great images, the bubbles in the foreground work very well. Luckily the clouds came back after the sun came out!
Glad to see the drone is back
Always a pleasure to see you work on the island. That music had quite a bit of left-right movement. Quite the experience when wearing Bluetooth equipped hearing aids. Probably the same effect if you wear earphones, or earbuds.
Sublime imagery Adam. From the drone footage to the stills. Very enjoyable video once again from one of the best. Cheers!
Nice man, good to see you out, we're still under lockdown here. When you said 0.5-1seconds I went "WHAT!" if we had a cat it'd have been terrified. Like the second shot, really nicely balanced comp. Cheers man and great to talk last night.
Agreed on the balance. I thought the swirly water (right side) countered the dense brush on the left side.
When the drone was flying backwards in the intro, I was waiting for it to hit a tree 🌲 😂
I like the way you are approaching waterfall photography, concentrating on what’s happening rather than making another basic long exposure of the waterfall itself 👍
Thanks 👍
And having now watched the rest of the vlog, what a beautiful location it is too, and some lovely images 😃
Hi Adam... Not sure why I've taken so long to comment on this video. The swirling effect on those bubbles below the waterfalls is magical & looks very much printable for the wall too...
I've just finished up a landscape project & d/way entrance sign on my property & the various greens, yellows & reds are just so intense early in the spring. ( 2 ) days back now I put my 70-200 on the 5DM3 for the 1st time ever, only took me (2) years to get around to it! I took shots from about (4) different angles with various exposure levels & wow, those colors! I love spring...
Curious how ya'll are liking the Sunwayfoto gearhead & last time I checked they were on back order, as in N/A through my normal sources... Getting that precise level using the ballhead without changing the composition can be extremely frustrating at times...
Bill on the Hill,
Vermont... :~)
You never cease to amaze me with your images bubble photos are so stunning
Thanks Adam, these videos are a real joy while I quarantine.
Fantastic photography, as usual! It so cool when you add drone footage.
Wow, wonderful images Adam. I appreciate the talk through of the composition and the aerials are a nice addition. Great video, thanks for sharing...
Beautiful images, I particular like the first one, I’ve always loved the swirly bubble effect, and you captured it very nicely! Keep up the great work man!
Many thanks!
This place must be great in fall aswell! I loved the fern-photo very much. Great intro again. Thnx Adam
Great drone work. As usual, the lessons learned are so very valuable and appreciated. Love your content.
Love the way you used the shutter speed to get that amazing image , really great stuff , watching your videos has really helped me with my own photography. Thanks for sharing
Yes! I so missed these drone shot intros, amazing music selection as always. I've fallen off the wagon for a while, but videos like this got me right back on it. Be well, Adam!
I bought a pair of breakthrough photography filters, based on your recommendations in previous videos. I got the CPL and the 6stop dark CPL. Haven't properly tested them but I can't wait!
Great opening sequence Adam and those images are magnificent my favourite being the second one as I like the contrast between the swirling eddy current right of frame and the leading line the stream gives to that and the falls.
Absolutely brilliant video Adam, and splendid images as well. I was actually thinking about compositions while watching this and i came to a conclusion with using the furns framing the leading river up to the waterfall in the background just a second before you actually did it in the video, but didnt think of the circular patterns on the bubbles and that created a very unique and lovely foreground. One more thing that might work, if you got closer to the river between the furns to really create that impact to the viewers when the river flows straight towards your eyes.
Superb images. Especially the first one. Great work.
You're an excellent communicator. I listen to every word, and you deliver the goods--can always count on you for good info I can use in becoming a better photographer. Thanks!
You are very welcome
Thanks again Adam, lovely images to enjoy.
WOW they turned out great !
Lovely waterfall, I was shooting tonight as well here in Norway. Tried to combine flowers and a waterfall.
Beautiful area and love the long exposures. Luck you can get to such lovely spots when you need an outdoor adventure.
Both images of this lovely scene are exceptionally pleasing...good work, as always, Mr Gibbs :-)
Cool photo Adam. Makes me want to get out and shoot. I would love to hear you speak about your focusing technique/s. I haven’t heard you elaborate on your approach before; and you always seem to nail it... Cheers. Jon
Thanks Adam.
That location reminds me of the waterfalls in Snowdonia, great photo with the swirling water, so many photos you show in your videos are ones I wish I had captured myself 👍
For me, the last image was quite spectacular. I could really see your influence and years of experience in garden photography here. I don't think it's a composition other people would have caught or captured.
Nice flying ! Adam. Nice location too. Seems like I have to return ! Good to see that you are back in nature.
Great job Adam, Vancover Island has it all.
lovely mate, it definitely looks way better than it did when we visited last November way more water and fantastic lush greens. Stay safe mate 😀👍✌
lovely images.
Stunning images Adam - thanks for sharing - I had the GFX50R and also my Sony A7R4 and did a comparison video - I could only just see a slight difference in the images but the Sony is easier for me to have as smaller and lighter.
really nice vlog adam loved the drone footage to start with
