    Great Video Adam...I wish I had seen it before I drove north to see the fall Foliage as I always struggle to find compositions when there are many trees! Love the multitude and variety of great shots you got! I would have probably overlooked them if I were there. Just a reminder to slow down and spend some time in one area to find the compositions.

  • @dietervoegelin5890

    Sundays 😊 Gibbsday.
    These landscapes were just beautiful. I'd like to see you head towards the grasslands and badlands drumheller way. Otherworldly. But Adam honestly you say you repeat yourself but the landscape is always changing. So it's incredible to watch you break down a particular scene so forensically and see you do it on a waterfall. Rules are the same but the context has radically changed. I'm so glad I found and follow your channel. Its really the best of its kind. Presentation, music, subject matter and the humility within it all. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

    @susanfirth2279 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video Adam. I like how you show your process of composing and what you look for and how to separate the trees. Great images. The fall colours in South Central Ontario are very muted this year and a bit on the late side which is really disappointing. But as they say we can't have it all.

    @VlogPhotography 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video Adam. Really loved the images captured during this. We are still waiting for the autumn colours to make an appearance here in Mid Wales but Im sure there not far away from changing. Love the way you explain your structure and composition. Always inspires me to get out and capture something new. Its one of my favourite times of year to get out and capture some stunning images. Thanks for sharing Adam. Another video I was hooked throughout watching. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to your next video. Keep up the great work!

  • @bossofthemoss450
    @bossofthemoss450 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I liked the composition that you had on the first day with your vlog camera where the aspens created a leading line to the mountains beyond. You seemed oblivious to that one though. Great area though. You’re a lucky boy. 👍😉

    • @ianbarnes1406
      @ianbarnes1406 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I noticed that potential composition. Difficult to know if it would have worked without being there and seeing the whole scene, I guess

  • @darcymonchakphotography
    @darcymonchakphotography 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice work, Adam. The reddish dwarf birch often saves the day. Can't believe the traffic and trailhead congestion this year. Still, solitude aplenty a bit off the mainstream.

  • @davebenson1504
    @davebenson1504 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Indeed a beautiful time of the year... and again beautiful, relaxing background music to your video.. so glad to hear you respecting drone regulations... models great (and legal) behaviour... love how the dark "V" shape (aprox 6:40) leads to the first bright tree trunk, but then you trimmed it out in your crop... at about 11:55 you noted the subdued colour... in Manitoba the drought has really caused a rapid change in foliage from green to brown... beautiful rim light on the trees at about 14:50.... Great advice on 'working' a scene... I think I like the presentation at about 22:47, although the full 16:9 pano is gorgeous too... nice video camera environmental composition at 24:00... great teaching moment with the clumps of trees around 26 mins... such minute adjustments make the difference, so I can really see why you use the geared ball head that you do.... the cross over logs really caught my eye and nicely presented in your vertical image... a GREAT video, we can learn from our images when we have your instructional advice as ammunition to use in critically viewing our own work... Thank You!

  • @lindefraser9148

  • @rkstrawn

    • @FloridaPete1948
      @FloridaPete1948 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I love panos as well. Since I have an Sony a6600, I sometimes have to do a 2-3 image pano to get a little better pixel density.
      PTgui does a great job stitching them though.

  • @davidh8258

  • @Hirsutechin
    @Hirsutechin 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The best way to improve is to get out there and make photographs - too true! After a lovely afternoon in the beginnings of our autumn it was a pleasure to share your enjoyment of the Canadian autumn. I always learn something watching your videos. ☺

  • @johnmclean7852
    @johnmclean7852 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I Realy like the composition discussion. In that theme for the wind situation, why not go the other direction ( in the extreme ) and let the leaves and grasses blur behind the solid trees?

    • @erkko69

  • @jiggyb21
    @jiggyb21 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was such a timely video for me personally. I actually really like how you were able to show several examples of similar, if not the same subject. It really helps to clarify the teachings.

  • @davemenard5089
    @davemenard5089 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Finding order, much less beautiful order out of chaos really requires such dedication and vision. It’s a full time gig that will wear your ass out. I got to a point where I never wanted to see a Forrest again lol. I had to go to the urban landscape and have really loved it. Same challenge with new scenes. Rust, peeling paint, glass and steel. Abstract man made chaos.

  • @jsimes1
    @jsimes1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I could watch you shoot autumn colors and aspens over and over again so don't worry about the repetition. Believe it or not I've never thought of keeping all of the trees from overlapping before until I watched one of your videos. Now it is something I try to work on when I'm out in the forest. Some day I might even achieve it! 😁

    @daveneel3441 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Adam, I very much enjoy your photography videos and find them very serene, calming and educational. One thing though. Especially with your woodland shots, it would be helpful to know where you’re focus point is to achieve maximum sharpness in a particular scene. I struggle with that sometimes. Thank you. Dave

    @IanWilkinson 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You have a great 'eye' Adam, something I struggle with unless I have enough time and the patience to wait for an image to reveal itself through the fog of confusion. Also, I would find it hard to resist the temptation to tidy away some of the fallen branches at the base of those birch(?) trees. Great stuff.

  • @Bazzo61

    Adam - love the roadside photography! Proof it doesn't require a 2 day hike to come away with good images. Also agree that there is only so much information to share for composition and settings before you become repetitive. I doubt anyone cares as long as you keep sharing your adventures with us. I plan on getting up to Canada (I live in Vancouver WASHINGTON - the FIRST Vancouver!) when the COVID and travel restrictions ease. I hope it's soon!

    Hi Adam!. I live in New Brunswick and have been dealing with difficult lighting situations. Though the sun may be out, the sky is often white.

    @billonthehill9984 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gorgeous scenes Adam, the compositions are beautiful...You have helped me in numerous ways, i.e. returning to the same scenes is so important for a host of reasons as you have repeatedly explained in so many of your videos...I noticed you are back to using the GH-Pro II on these shots...I have been using my new gearhead for a couple weeks now, should have done this years ago. I shot a woodland scene on my property using the GH -Pro II, only to return to it again & the 2nd visit was the key to my success on a arching fallen snag using that gearhead both times.
    I've done some closeup mushroom work with it as well, the gearhead has proven itself to be the game changer for me, because now I have absolute control on fore & aft as well as L to R for dead on leveling with machined geared accuracy using my new Sunwayfoto gearhead...My Acratech GP Ballhead with lever clamp is neatly packed away in it's original box until further notice!

    Thanks so much again Adam. No need to apologize for repeating yourself, that provides the emphasis and direction I need to learn. As someone who uses a high resolution medium format camera, as well as, no doubt, having experience with film, I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the differences in compositional and subject selection between these two mediums.

    • @darrelltheriault5793
      @darrelltheriault5793 2 ปีที่แล้ว
