    To me personally this is my favorite video you’ve put out yet, the narration is perfect, the shots, the struggle, and what your trying to teach is on point. I like how you focus on the experience instead of being bogged down by technicals of film photography. It’s like a pure neutral

    • @BraeHunziker

      Dude thank you! Appreciate that immensely. Definitely trying to focus more on experiences than technicality.

    Gotta be honest. Other than the humor and great pics, what I enjoy the most whenever I watch your videos. Is that I know I won't be getting a collection of lo-fi beats in the background.

    Your photography resonates with me in that it stems from exploration. I don't have quite the same scenery and back country but I can still relate. I combine my cycling and my photography into one super hobby. My bike takes me to places I would never otherwise go and my camera documents the things along the way.

    • @BraeHunziker

    Okay but for some reason I was expecting a legit tornado and was shocked even more when you panned to a dust devil. 😂
    Also you’re looking at absolutely Pentax 67’d in the body department. Yoked.
    Loved those night shots tho. Photo and video.

    • @BraeHunziker

      Lmao dust devil definitely seems like a more appropriate name for that thing 🥴

  • @dainel.alonzo
    @dainel.alonzo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I won’t front, I teared up a bit after watching that last bit after you saying “being out in the back country is what brings out the most primitive side of yourself” and how it’s simply just living when your out alone in the wilderness. This is the reason why I love the great outdoors because I can simply just live. I’m gonna look back on this video many times over my man. Absolutely amazing work on this one!!!

    • @BraeHunziker
      @BraeHunziker  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh man thanks so much for the kind words. There's no feeling like being out there alone. It is overwhelming and calming at the same time. I feel fortunate I am able to experience it as much as I do. Cheers!

    I went on this hike! I remember the last part of the trail up to the lake being pretty steep (didn’t help that it was dark and kind of rainy when we went there) but there were great views of the lake the next day, especially on that trail further up the mountain you went on. Loved seeing the trail again in your video!

    Yup its Sunday, and just in the nic-of-time Brae makes good with a video. So I'm kicking back with a coffee, and just immersing myself into the images being presented to me. Brea I gotta say this is some very beautiful country your hiking in, and the photos are warm and intimate landscapes that just make me feel like I should head for the hills myself. I think the 165mm f2.8 might have been right at home up here. Wonderful as always, and that shot of you on the log sipping your tea was killer at 12:51, so thank you. Cheers.

    • @BraeHunziker
      @BraeHunziker  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah thank you bro. Appreciate that. Can’t beat a trip up to the mountains. Have been really wanting to bring a longer lens up with me too. 165 might be the move.
