Choose your Focal Lengths WISELY

[@calumcree4456]

The 65x24 for me. He more of the story of the location but retains enough intimacy. My favourite from these last few videos I think. 👏🏻

[@dougsanderson5265]

I really like the 65x24. It's so immersive and makes me feel like I am there exploring. Beautiful.

[@nancyturek1121]

Thanks for showing us a beautiful world when lately it can often feel so ugly.

[@jamesjohnston6765]

That turquoise water is truly gem-like with the trees, leaves and mountains.

[@fgalaxie123]

The focal length description was wonderful, I appreciate your style of explaining your choices.

[@BluebirdR]

65x24 and you with beautiful nature are the superlative of excellence Adam.

[@scottsoutter7271]

The 65x24 pano crop is very captivating. I liked hitting pause and working around the image.

[@sophietucker1255]

I really like the 65x24 format. It almost feels like you are standing there in the scene

[@599miata]

The 65 x 24 is a killer photo Adam. Very nice video. Glad your buddy didn't hurt himself nor hid equipment.

[@geoffstairmand3747]

Love the 65x24 - absolutely stunning.

[@chipsfalling8625]

Adam you and your photo pal have really stumbled into heaven. Speaking for myself, stuck here, these videos are really it.. I watch them twice. Thank you so much for sharing and loving what you are doing it makes the experience here.. from a far all that more enjoyable. Thank you.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you like them!

[@amaitra]

4x5 - that is the "cleanest" image - going by your definition of good images!

[@jasonclemmons8213]

I think you could double as a drone stunt pilot! When I pass on your videos I always say your the best teacher of composition! The demo with wife and long lens was spot on and easy to understand.

[@juancamilo1204]

I loved the 65x24. It looks so artistic and transmits a lot of feeling.

[@thepaintedlady4637]

When he kicks off each video with the trademark 'Hell-o, Hell-o everybody!", it just makes me smile and brightens up my day

[@jimwallar8920]

For me the 4 x5 crop is the easy winner on the first image.

[@maggiemae1969]

I love the 65x24! They are all so gorgeous.

[@rudyrodouin9963]

Loved the 65x24 ! Look like a painting

[@michaelvhurley]

All the images are great, but that 65 x 24 is magical. It pulls you into a full universe. Love it.

[@guentermartinsich9898]

I do like the 65x24 crop, maybe because it's not so common and it gives this feeling of space. But I like the 4x5 most. Productive trip 👍🏿

[@BruceLR57]

That must have personally been a very rewarding trip. Demonstrates how an already world class photographer can just keep getting better.

[@drbva2]

You can always use the 2 or 10 second timer on the GFX to prevent your reflection from appearing in the image, if the angle of incidence is normal (90 degrees) to the surface your camera refection will end up in the image. Nice work as always. Cheers BVA from Ontario

[@JH-qv3xv]

You asked us to pick our favorite crop so I pick the 65x24. I would like to add that it is because you captured a special feeling that we were walking along with you when you took the picture. With the other crops and lens selections you created stunning images. All second picks and no thirds. On another note, is there any truth to the only way to get an exceptionally great picture is you have to either stand or lay down in near freezing water? Let be careful.

[@jeffreymonk9987]

The 65x24 takes you into the scene by allowing your eyes to have a peripheral view without stressing to see the details of the scenes.... Great Job as always!

[@Thehipsterplantman]

The images and the music - wow 👏

[@jaywilliamsphoto]

That 65x24 is a banger! 👌

[@galensinkey]

Love the 65x24 format for this scene. What a rich, beautiful image.

[@jrrockett]

Every time I watch your Videos I feel like I can Relax and Just enjoy them and Learn something New.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Perfect!

[@sisqdave]

I add this comment to an older video of yours but wanted to repeat it on your current one. I have been binge watching you and Gavin. Great tips. Thank you so much! It is really great to listen to professional photographers. I don't think I will ever get close to the level of professional in my photography and drone work. Still every story that I watch on you tube helps me see the world in a different light. Thank you again. Be well.

[@pixel2224]

I’m loving your aquatic interlude and am eagerly waiting for your calendar to arrive with the wonderful print from that series. I’ve done a fair bit of wading around, in waders, and have on many occasions have had to rely on poles to keep balance tripping or slipping on unseen obstacles. May I suggest that you consider investing in a waterproof pouch to sling round your neck to place your camera when moving around, gives you two free hands as well. The come reasonably priced at any good boat chandlers, I used one when sailing for camera, phone, car keys etc.. It will make me less nervous watching and will save you heartache when the inevitable happens. I simply love your presentation style, information, inspirational videos, thank you.

[@hamsterneckliving]

This series of videos has been beautiful. Peaceful and relaxing and just so lush with color and opportunity.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Good to hear!

[@CelsoMollo]

The first picture looked like a painting. Magical!!!

[@nevillewatkins4997]

Possibly your best one from that location Adam. It will be sad to hang up your waders. :-) That 65 x 24 shot is stunning. The power of cropping.

[@PhotoTrekr]

I can easily see why you spent so many days there. It's unique and spectacular. I'm sure your viewers will hate leaving that location as much as you. But, we will look forward to your photos and videos from your next incredible location.

[@gregs2466]

I like the 4x5 because it seems less busy. The last one, 65x24, is outstanding but to complicated which is why I choose the 4x5. All are very good but smaller one you can rest your eyes on an area more easily.

[@niallkelly7002]

Beautiful photography helped with stunning surroundings.Thanks Adam..

[@Beano_z]

All 3 are very nice, but really loved the 16:9 crop, bravo!

[@ellenallthetime]

Lovely Adam.....just lovely!

[@astralbody]

When you are in a perfect area, no need to venture. :) love, love, love the 65x24...it is enveloping. Good comparative explanation of wide vs. long lens flattening. That GFX is nice...the detail, compared to my a7iii, gosh. :) love the minimal shot at 15:20. Thanks Adam!

[@CultureAgent]

Glad you decided to go on a whim, good times are always just a whim away, a whim away a whim away etc.

[@shot2death876]

Some very lovely images there. That camera certainly helps and of course your skill as a photographer.

[@kendallkyle585]

Another enjoyable video. Absolutely beautiful! Wish I could be there...instead of being at work. Enjoyed all the pictures.

[@kudobass9090]

That moment at 8:15, where you appear to walk right into the photograph, and start setting up the tripod, was amazing and beautiful! Love the channel - thanks so much! X

[@Hello_its_Tarky]

Finding myself in 16 x 9 a lot, lately. Not sure why but I’m liking it more

[@zigatretjak75]

16x9 seems to fit the gorgeous scenery

[@aitorzm]

First 4x5, second 65x24, third 16x9. Thanks for sharing this videos 😍

[@leonardomera121]

Oustanding photographs.Beautiful places.I really like your work.

[@angelmendez4474]

I like them all because they each have a distinct look that draws me in

[@acraftman2823]

I am going to have to agree all the formats were great but the 65 x 24 really led me into the photo and took me deeply through it. I would also agree the (willows?) definitely brought the mid-tones alive.

[@PointBlankZA]

Def the 65x24, awesome image...

[@craigallenphotography]

as an old large format shooter I love the 4x5 aspect ratio. Well done.

[@martinnightingale6033]

Hi Adam . Love the first photo . Once again thank you for the inspiration.

[@dcrilley9624]

The usual soothing inspiration. I don't get too excited with your videos, contra Hardcastle's output, I just settle down ready to listen and learn. The old Fuji pano aspect ratio of 65:24, resurrected in the GFX 100, yields the image of the video in my book. It is humbling to pause and note that technology within the GFX 100 will allow such a shot, correctly executed in camera, to be output and printed big as a sumptuous jpeg with no need for stitching or blending.

[@reflectorium4104]

Probably my favorite capture from these series so far, the whole scene looks like a Monet painting. I found the tree trunk leaving the frame on bottom right of both 4x5 and 16x9 to be somewhat distracting, but 65x24 looks phenomenal and feels like a mural. Thanks for sharing!

[@lisarobertson7011]

the 4x5 format is my first choice - thank you for another wonderful video Adam.

[@PeterLariviere1]

I don't think I have seen a video of your's that wasn't beautiful and inspiring. But this series just seemed to be a little step up and it may have been the added excitement you seemed to have with so many opportunities to produce beautiful images.

[@stefanpangratz]

Awesome conditions. Awesome videos. Awesome images. I am a huge fan of panorama so I really like the panorama compositions more! Great job. That's why I love your photography so much!! Thx Adam!

[@swissheartydogs]

Inspiring. Tomorrow will compose with a telezoom & square format.🙏🏻

[@Necronomicon08]

hi adam, i enjoy every single one of your videos. great pictures, good music and great recordings with the drone. Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments and sharing your thoughts with us. Greetings from Berlin, Sven

[@raymonddowning3500]

Adam the 65x24 is a fantastic crop definitely think this is the best image

[@PhiggysDOTcom]

I have a preference for the square format again something I started out shooting in the 1950s

[@markosbornestudio]

Im a sucker for 4x5, but the 65x24 was a very interesting crop.

[@rickpearson5139]

I really love how your out of camera RAW image is seldom very different than your finished product. I watch a great deal of instructional videos on photography and I can say that most of the other photographers have a large change between their camera RAW and their post produced images. I am a big proponent of getting the best I can from the inside the camera. Thank you for sharing your skills with us!

[@jogey5890]

4 x 5 is the one that is a painting. The others are beautiful but not special. A picture is not as powerful as what you see but the 4 x5 here is closest to reveal the very image that caught your artist eye. It is the one I wish I could live.

[@galensinkey]

You should publish a book from this trip. Fantastic

[@markjacksonphotos]

Great to watch your creations come to life. Thanks for the tips, so well explained.👍🙂

[@howardrankin7119]

What a beautiful series of videos. Amazing location in perfect conditions but you certainly made the most of it with so many glorious, harmonious images.

[@swissheartydogs]

Love the 4 by 5, close to square format: Trees are speaking up, more intense.

[@lindahenderson2113]

All of the photos are spectacular. If I had to choose one, it would be the pano: 65x24. What a nice trip to spend hours upon hours in the same area and pulling out so many portfolio images from your campground area. Thank you for letting us experience the area with you and Jeremy.

[@danielbastos1885]

A wonderful set of amazing images! Great work!

[@Wjguin]

65x24 there’s just a unique feeling that you get compared to other.

[@trevhillphotography7852]

I love this scene, 65 by 24 is my pick, but all 3 crops are great and show the flexibility of the image for selling different print ratios. I think there are definite cases where customers identify a wall space for a print before the print itself.

[@yadwindersingh1067]

And there was me who only spent 4 hours at this place. Great great work Sir in this small area

[@David_Glazebrook]

Great stuff Adam. The pano crop of 16x9 worked best for the image you presented. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers.

[@brianduthie989]

I much prefer the 16x9 but the wider one blew me away, fabulous!👍

[@dillank3240]

I really like these photos. Excellent work.

[@peterebel7899]

Hello - hello breaking the dreams of the intro brutally ;-) Great compositions again from this unbelievable scenery.

[@TL-xw6fh]

I'm envious that you are able to travel and take these amazing images. We are still in lockdown in the UK, sadly. Thank you for keeping us entertained with your fabulous images, Adam.

[@gayleruble6529]

Canada tourism should employ you as you certainly are making me wanting to plan some photography trips to these spectacular areas you’re shooting!

[@zanereyansh4624]

You prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!

[@lennoxderek6250]

@Zane Reyansh instablaster :)

[@zanereyansh4624]

@Lennox Derek thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@zanereyansh4624]

@Lennox Derek it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@lennoxderek6250]

@Zane Reyansh No problem :D

[@georgefrench1907]

Wonderful images. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulkay8986]

Fantastic cropped image of the three trees in the background

[@Leffe49]

Differing formats can all be good in their own way. To me, it all depends where they are going to be placed. Over a small Table, or over a large Couch. Great Photos ❤ from a wonderful autumn, in the Canadian Rockies. 👍

[@dirkverkimpe4586]

I enjoyed watching your video, that lake is so beautiful and

[@strangeimages]

The 65 x 24 panoramic portrays a complete scene and is the most pleasing. Have you considered placing a stroke on the perimeter of your images to separate them from the black background ?

[@G0FUW]

Lovely Adam, and great examples of using different lenses to change the same scene. Thanks for sharing.

[@jansmith65]

I like the 16x9 image. Fantastic series of videos from the Canadian rockies. Looking forward to the next one

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks 👍

[@0ecka]

For my viewing size (a meter wide 43" UHD IPS) I like the 65x24 better, a lot better. Wide and beautiful, lots of detail. Very nice photo. For smaller, standard screens the 16x9 could work better for no pixels wasted. But the bigger screen is a must-have for true ultra-high-def digital photography. Well done! And thank you for sharing.

[@dannyhead5287]

As always.... beautifully done video and awesome images!

[@lifemileagesridhar5528]

Adam...just as you ran short of adjectives. So have I . Amazing pictures. Beautiful video. The music just lifts the presentation to another level. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Great Work.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gordroberts53]

Hi Adam: Such a lovely area, thanks for sharing. My preferred crop was the 16:9. I liked the wider format but found it busy along the sides. Take care!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Beautiful Adam, what a great location ! Love the texture in the closeup on the leaves and that shot at 14:45 just wow!!!

[@PMCN53]

A wonderful set of images Adam. Re the perspective of that scene, I love the wide pano option because the pano (64 X24) draws me into the place. I can imagine that printed and framed at 2m wide, you could almost step out of your room to that place. Cheers, loved the series.

[@paulus0109]

Wow, that’s... photo Walhalla! Those colours... It all looks so simple, but i no there is lot of effort you have to put in there Adam. Thnx for sharring.

[@miltonpics]

Great video Adam, and some fantastic images.

[@shanefiddle]

LOVE the music in this video... and the photos :-) Thanks as always!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@blivieriphoto]

Hey look! Mountains! 😉 Beautiful photos and a beautiful video. I can't get enough of this series. Glad you have one more for us. As far as the different crop of that one image with the three trees. I can't decide which I like better the 4 x 5 or 16 x 9, they both have an intimate feel to them. The largest one I like too, but not as much as the first two. I seem to get lost in the 65 x 24 (but who wouldn't want to get lost in that!? 😁) Say, do you think Skillshare has a knitting course? haahaa

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Funny you should ask as I was going to use knitting as my example but I forgot to look, haha.

[@blivieriphoto]

@@QuietLightPhoto Well, see, if you'd learn how to knit you could double your hat output! LOL

[@paulmilovich2982]

Hi Adam, as per your question, I'm liking that 65x24, looks awesome, great video as always.

[@kyralichtenstein2971]

Beautiful seen, we enjoyed watching all videos about it.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks for visiting

[@paulmoore721]

Adam, I’ve been enjoying your posts so much that I just ordered your book to say thanks!

[@carlreid4161]

Exquisite imagery Adam and your explanation about putting the elements together especially shows how “ three” works so wonderfully.
