Nick on instagram - / nickpagephotography - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
So I'm that fan. I starting following Nick a few years ago and was so inspired by his work I attend the local community college and got my degree in photography. Living and working in Las Vegas I see celebrities almost daily, but when I was driving around Valley of Fire with my family and saw a guy that resembled my favorite landscape photographer I was floored. The best part was as Nick passed me he nodded (like guys passing one another usually do to show I'm no threat while at the same time saying 'sup) I turned to my wife and said that looked like a youtuber I follow. It wasn't until I saw Nick pull off with his truck that I lost me s**t. I kinda screamed OMG that's Nick Page. My wife and kids could care less that I was totally fan girling out. Now I will say this as Nick drove away I was still in shock that he was in my backyard (geographically ) I chalked it up to a miss opportunity, but my wife mentioned she had never seen me so amped up over seeing someone. Now keep in mind I'm a combat veteran who does not show excitement very often. So i said we are gonna load up in the truck and see if we bump into Nick. I didn't want to interfere with his reason for being in Valley of Fire so I said if we see him cool, if not well then missed opportunity. 2 miles down the road I see his truck, then started scanning 5he landscape and I see this lone bearded guy climbing a fairly large rock structure and I yelled from my truck (it was at this point I once again fan girled) are you Nick Page. He replied I am. I don't recall much after that becuase I was super excited to meet Nick. I asked to take a pic with him and he said sure. I can honestly say that meeting was one for the books for me. Nick stopped what he was doing descended the mountain he was climbing just to take a pic with me. Nick has been of the most genuine people I've ever met. Even though our meeting was only 5 to 10 minutes long I will say it was awesome. Thank you Nick you made a 40 year old combat vet come true of just meeting with him and being a cool guy. My reaction to meeting Nick on video was legit and meant the world to me. Thanks again.
Now that's what I call a fan, so happy for you.
I'm waiting for Tom Heaton to come into our local Fish and Chip shop!
Nick gives me big teddy bear hugs, anyone that likes hugs is a good person :-) should have asked for a hug I know he would have.
Mark Mejia cool story. Thanks for your service.
Best part about Nick is he’s the same guy you see here on TH-cam. Very humble and down to earth. Sometimes too humble! Ha
Nick Page - the hardest working landscape photographer on the planet. Awesome video. I really enjoyed the vertical panorama - wonderful light.
Hi, Nick. Tacoma guy here. After seeing your f4 videos, a friend a I left a few days ago to go to Death Valley and this park. Just got back. Geeze. You ought to see this place now! The Spring greens are friggin' nutty, and even the wildflowers are beginning. I hadn't a clue this place even existed. It's seriouly a phenomenal place and even better to hide our in it during the Apocalypse. No place better to disappear than a stunning desert!
Huge fan of all you guys. Your videos, separately and together, are always a bright spot. These days? It's really sweet to go from one of you to the other and then to your f4 blog.
Keep them coming if you can.
You've all got a great thing going, and thousands are happy to share in it.

Loved it Nick, cheers buddy. What I enjoy most is 4 you-tubers enjoying this expensive passion and sharing it with us mortals around the globe.
It's funny. I'm a wildlife photographer, primarily, but your vids always get my creative juices flowing. Thanks for another great vid.
You guys are great. Some day I will share with you how all 4 of you saved my life. Thank you.
Top marks to that fan for spotting you. Wonderful reaction. Quite right too. What a gorgeous location and the images you created are so beautiful. Your work is amazing. The way you galloped up that rock face to shoot the mini arches had me holding my breath too. That sure was fit and nimble of you. I hope the arm injury gets better soon. I thought you were going to get another one when you suddenly took off like that!
Excellent tutorial, Nick. And exquisite compositions; you made it seem so simple. Thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyable Nick. Looking forward to the project results. 👌
I love that place, have gotten few incredible shots there, this is a good time of the year to visit!
Way to go Nick. These videos of you working a scene really are so helpful. Loved the fan appreciation. Always cool.
That bit with the fan was brilliant. To be honest, I'd fanboi like that as well!
I am glad that you guys had the opportunity to explore one of my favorite state parks. So much beauty to see, experience and photograph. Great images.
That photo at 12:40 looks like it's on another planet. Beautiful, minus the tripod leg of course.
Your Explanations and thought processes are very helpful. Thanks!
Great shots as always! Love how excited that guy was to see you
Brilliant, Nick! I think I'm going to have to return one day to The Valley, such a cool spot. Vegas? meh!
I'm with you. I spent a week in Vegas once. Hardly gambled at all. My highlights were a day trip to the Grand Canyon and a few hours in Red Rock Canyon NP before my flight home.
In my opinion, the best thing about Las Vegas is its proximity to Death Valley.
@@timothylinn And Red Rock, Valley of Fire, Zion, Owens Valley, Mojave, and Grand Canyon. Vegas is awesome for getting elsewhere, especially 'cause flights are usually so cheap.
@@reiddickson Good point!
Lovely pictures Nick. Love the contrast between your style/ preferences and Adam Gibbs
Beautiful location, which I’ve been to, and I struggled to find good compositions. So to have such accomplished photographers say the same is encouraging. Can’t wait to check out the F4 project!
Such stunning photos! I literally loved every one of them but some of the ones after sunset were exceptional!
A lot of us would be as excited to see you as Mark was!! Another great video.
Lovely images Nick and clever technique on the vertical pano. The F4 are all sounding a bit knackered but mellow after the video shoot, I hope it reaps you all big $$$$.
Loved the fan catching Nick in the wild! I was cracking up!
FR he got them eagle eyes
Wow I would love this visit that park! Loved the colours in the rocks, such interesting geology
Very nice. Thank you for the live demonstration of focus-stacking.
Jane and I 'discovered' the Valley of Fire on a road trip - saw it on the map and thought it sounded interesting. As you have shown, it is an amazing place. We could not believe how quiet it was compared with Zion, Yosemite, etc. Love your sunset starburst image but just seeing the park again through your eyes was great Nick. Thanks for sharing.
Great location and another great video.
Every year we have a family trip to Las Vegas and every year I take one day to photograph Valley of Fire State Park. After 10 years of doing this, I'm still finding new locations. A fantastic place to just wander around.
Awesome Nick, thanks for sharing.
Great video and technique! Beautiful location!
Beautiful place!! That's one I've not been to. Love the shots of those rocks & colors, very nicely done.
Beautiful!!!
Fabulous !!!! When that Fan spotted you I bet he left skids mark on the road stopping to run back to speak to you.. he sure seemed excited ! Wonderful camera handling, really sums up the need to know your camera inside out and use without seemingly thinking about it. Always a joy to see you post a new video, been watching your stream since day one.... thank you.
Richard Tierney he won the photographer lottery! 💛
I'm that fan. It was probably 5he coolest thing in my life to "bump into" Nick. Super cool guy.
I bet that's not the only skid Mark's he left!!! ;)
I love that warm afterglow that you get here in the south-west, especially in areas of red rock. They seem to glow from the inside. It seems most intense about 10 minutes after sunset and hangs around for maybe 10 minutes. You've captured the light beautifully.
Absolutely love that photo at 9:10. Beautiful!
Wow, great shots mate.
Really inspiring! The colors and shapes in the rock formations were simply eyecandy. I paused the video for more than just a few moments so my eyes could just wander through the composition and drink it all in. I feel very lucky to be able to see such humble masters ply their trade. Greatly appreciate your willingness (and Tom’s) to share such beauty and the struggles to achieve it.
Really good video. Great advice, fantastic location. Thanks!
One of my favourite parks. You got some great clouds and light! All I had last April was clear blue skies, which made sunset a bust.
You’re an inspiring photographer and a fantastic educator.
Also it’s great that the fab 4 are doing more projects together. Entertaining & Educational.
Lovely stuff Nick
Wow! How quickly you can work, Nick, is cool to watch. (Note, Nick - "quickly" (adverb), rather than "fast" (adjective)). One of your most instructive in-the-field videos. Thanks!
What an amazing video, very interesting and calming, thanks.
Beautiful images to sooth the soul (especially that one at 12:40). And again so very informative and educational. Thankyou
Great shots.
Thanks Nick! I certainly hope you get some amazing shots. As a photographer, I really appreciate the walkthroughs on your process.
Love the old school Midwestern background music! That fan is all of us haha 😂
I realy have no idee how the fiilm is going to looke like, but i can’t wait! Good vlog Nick. Thnx.
This for me is one of your best videos. I loved how you captured the sense of being rushed, something we all have experienced at that time of day, and I really appreciate the sense of being there with you. You changed camera angles multiple times in that brief period! It was also technically helpful. And the chat with Thomas at the end, felt authentic. Reminded me of end of the day chats I had with my dad. Something nicely universal about it.
This was great to watch! Really just very enjoyable for me. Thanks!
Love this video man. Super inspiring as usual.
Thank you for sharing you process
Beautiful place!!
The colours in the image at 5:00 were phenomenal, pure fantasy land, great shot Nick.
Inspiring video, Nick. It was also great meeting you a bit later at the Excalibur.
I'm sure you'll be posting another video soon to point this out, but....CONGRATS ON 100K SUBSCRIBERS! I always look forward to your videos and it makes me very happy to see that your hard work is being recognized by so many people. Keep up the good work!
Wow this just reminds my of Utah and makes me want to go back...my youngest son whom I’ve introduced to photography a few years back will be my traveling companion. He just purchased the a7iii and already has a great eye. Thanks for all you share and look forward to your big project reveal.
Great video as always. One place I've been wanting to visit.
Fine Vlogs. Learning a lot from them. Thanks
The shot at 9:10 is so stunning. Keep the good working man. We need more TH-camrs like you who really care about content and share these with heart. Cheers.
Great video! That vertorama (spelling?) Was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
Nice pixs, I drove through, stopped and took a picture of elephant rock at the northern entrance and a brief stop at the visitor's center, put didn't venture off the beaten path (goal was to get to Zion before sundown to get a photo of The Watchman.
Really Loved this video, learned more about focus stacking and how you darkened the sky with the last shot. Thanks so much, look forward to meeting you at the Outsiders Conference next month, Oh yeah, I look forward to meeting Adam too. You guys are great, all of you including Thomas and yes even Gavin.
Great video! I'll be in Utah in April, so thank you for the inspiration 😍 Cheers from Ontario, Canada
Masterful stuff here Nick. It was great watching you work the composition on the photo you eventually captured at 9:15. Great stuff; texture, color, and contrast.
That first image is so perfect. 😍
As soon as I saw the rocks it reminded me of the first time I saw Tony Kuypers website and I could hardly wait to see what you made of the opportunities they afforded. The second and third images were just sublime, the combination of the light and the colours of the striations of the rock were awesome. Great stuff Nick 👍👍
Great video Nick , you can’t beat a sunstar.
Always inspiring speech. Thanks
Great video as always Nick, thanks for the inspiration to start my own channel. I really appreciate your efforts, motivation and videos. Cheers!
Very nice Nick! Definitely won't skip this place next time I'm in the area! Always wondered about it, looks fantastic and nice images!
Just realized you posted this today. Very nice, know exactly what you mean about the Valley of Fire. Was there couple of years ago and got there later than planned and felt rushed while shooting. Really nice work you shared, Nick.
Incredible Nick! Thanks for the tag along once again! I would actually love to see the post process of the focus stacked image where you lifted the camera for the final sunset exposure ... Thx again!
Fantshots Nick, just love your style of editing! Very excited to hear the what the big project is all about👍🏻
Great video Nick. Loved the explanation on how you achieved you last composition in the video.
Cool video Nick. I'd love to see you do a walk-through in how you stitched those focus-stacked images with the differently exposed sky, please :)
I would love to see this as well :)
I like this kind of content so much. It is so soothing that also professional photographer have to work the scene an nothing happens just so. Hard work to do and this is what has to go into a photo to make it appealing. The fan was awesome and he seemed to be so excited. Thumbs up and up again.
Fun video with great photos! I also like the scene/composition you're standing in at 3:20. :)
Great job on those photos. I am always amazed by your composition. You got my vote for Landscape Photographer of the year. Hoping to be able to meet you at the conference in March.
So good video!!!
Great video Nick! I just finished watching Adam's video and bam! You posted one too. Love it. Great timing too as I'll be stopping here, my first time ever too, in March before the Outsiders Conference. Your shots were amazing. Oh, that light! Fantastic. Thanks so much for all of your content and inspiration. Loved how that guy came running up to you. You and your F4 compadres are the rock stars of the landscape photography world. Keep it up!! Can't wait to see more. :D
Really love the video Nick! This park is so beautiful... Have been there on all three vacations to the US, and can't get enough of it. I think it is one of the most awesome parks I have ever seen. And I have been to a lot of national parks... Keep on the good work!
Totally would have reacted the same way if i was driving along and saw you!😂. Also, welcome to this side of the Pond Tom!!!
Hi Nick, just found your channel by virtue of being a follower of Thomas Heatons channel, Have to say Nick, I very much like what I see... subscribed, followed, etc, etc, look forward to going over your back catalogue, and seeing your new stuff.
Great stuff Nick! Saw the trademark Orton Effect...great post-processing!!
Awesome! Thomas it is very hard to “simplify things” in the US. There usually is “a lot going on.” Often our biggest challenge in making images!
Awesome video well done new friend from London UK 🇬🇧👍
That was a lucky fan running into you guys in the wild 🙂
NIce capture Nick you got what you went for Cheers
Congrats for the silver play button which is on its way 😉❤️✌🏻
Glad I opened up the TH-cam app! Been loving this trip series!
Wonderful 🙌🏽🌄🌄🌄 Was just there!! And also at Red Rock Canyon. Started at the more populated areas but really loved my shots more when I found areas and compositions with no one around 📷💪🏽🔥🔥🔥 Also, love the team up with you guys 🌟
I had considered stopping here when I was in Vegas for the meetup, but decided to shoot the Hoover Dam instead. I kinda regret my decision. Those were some great photos, Nick. I especially liked the focus-stacked vertical pano.
"Ah that's nice", said me out loud to the screen at photo 5.26.. then you walked into the photo...
Great video, loved all your shots, makes me badly want to get back to US
Great video! Your work is inspiring!!! Definitely adding this to my travel list :)
Great video!
Wow Nick, you're really progressing.
Amazing,
I love your channel, I am learning so much as a beginner. Thank you :)
Next time that you are out there, You should check out Sloan Canyon and Red Rock Canyon as well. Great shots!
Love watching this one and chatting to TH I have been inspired to get a team together in the UK. Because infant to showcase different styles of photos in the same places. Love love the final image very nice. Loom forward to seeing Tom's video now haha.
Loved this vlog Nick.....I have read about this park and hope to visit......when we are allowed back into the US. Rocks and photography, two of my favourite things. I also think I will be just as excited, if I every see you out on location 😂
You handled your tripod like a boss. very efficient!
