[@colinfreear4749]

Great again Adam. Awesome images to boot.

[@chriss2761]

2 beautiful images Adam 👌

[@valpayne2963]

Gosh, your opening video is superb.

[@BobbyBabaletskos]

I cannot say enough that your intro sequences with the drone in the woodlands and music selection is unparalleled, Adam. I am too really looking forward in your return to BC and while it was refreshing to see your images from other places, i really missed your woodland excursions and those amazing photos you always produce! Thanks!👍👊

[@agapyearish9982]

I really enjoy it when you take me through the composition and your use of depth of field in creating your images. It is enormously helpful and makes your videos rise above the blah, blah genres. I also appreciate the raw file vs the finished file. I suspect I’ve chucked out some of my images because I didn’t understand how to edit them. Greatest intro too!

[@debbydhill]

i agree ethereal..beautiful!

[@richardsandlantmusic8277]

Another very enjoyable video. Always enjoy listening in on your thought processes and seeing how you approach post-processing.

[@molopez619]

Richard Sandlant Music I think he explains his thought process extremely well.

[@bobkennedy621]

Great video once again,I love the way you show the raw file and the finished article with an explanation which really helps us mere mortals a lot

[@MrFrankie1311]

….the grandmaster of woodland photography! I really love it!

[@jbilly24]

Love when you explain your compositions. Seeing them on the back of the camera is also a great teaching tool. Framing a good shot in a woodland is not for the squeamish. Well done!

[@claudec2588]

I'm from Vancouver Island also and I really miss the deciduous forests of Ontario and Quebec. Nice video, thanks for the memories.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

More great work

[@peterpacholkow3064]

Great video Adam. I'm really enjoy the atmosphere you create in your videos, and your approach to a scene. You don't seem the uncle grumpy type, btw.

[@billonthehill9984]

Thanks Adam... Now were talking, TREES! My 90 acres of heaven up here in the highlands of n. central Vermont is loaded with beech. I have several " bear baskets " up & behind the house. They are clusters of beech stands that typically are loaded with beechnuts in the fall. On closer inspection, many have claw marks on them from the black bears climbing up & feasting on the beechnuts prior to hibernation. Other than the " elephant skin " on these Sottish beech, New England's beeches tend to grow as singular, often times thick trunk trees. The wood itself is excellent for making various tools, furniture, etc. & is an excellent firewood as well, burns hot & will last through the night. You have chosen wisely using these unusual beech for your woodland photography... Bill on the Hill... :~)

[@MichaelShainblum]

DUDE that intro drone shot...seriously awesome! Also that second photo was just stunning!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Michael Shainblum hey cheers Michael!

[@Valadhiel76]

I've missed your woodland photography. :) I'm also kind of looking forward to you being back home as well. :)

[@molopez619]

DarkAnjel I really enjoy his videos closer to his home. He’s a master of his area.

[@cillyede]

Great again, danke.

[@PaulthomsonphotographyUk]

Fantastic Video again mate and loved those lush images. The beech trees are just so vibrant at that time of year. All the best😀👍✌

[@QuarkCharmed]

Oh those drone footages. Great shots and great tutorial, as usual.

[@aitorzm]

Excellent portrait of a spectacular beech, love it.

[@rogerhostinphotography]

Your opening sequences are all stunning Adam but this one in particular was amazing. Beautiful images! Thanks for another reason to look forward to Saturday mornings.

[@derekcampbell4413]

Lovely location. I see the challenge with all the chaos, and the need to simplify. Thanks for sharing. Loved you images.

[@jefffiles9209]

Wonderful images once again Adam, I have thoroughly loved these vlogs from your UK visit. You might find Gavin stole that style of comp from watching your video's. Love your masterfull drone footage, take care Adam.

[@Snowcatnz2]

Great video Adam. Awesome images. Woodland is something I really struggle with, trying to find order out of the chaos, but you make it look so easy. Looking forward to seeing your return to BC and some more amazing videos and images. Thanks for sharing!!

[@goetzadamgageik7451]

Inspiring - especially as I live near plenty of Beach-Wood forests. Thanks again for the vlog, highly appreciated. Adam

[@allankvetch]

Lovely images. I love the addition of Gaussian blur to one of the photos to give an ethereal look. I sometimes add negative clarity or negative dehaze to all or part of a photo to achieve a similar effect.

[@ToBCreations]

Great work! And I love the way you present the photos, and the processes behind them.👌😊 I also love your drone shots. They are so smooth! 😀

[@molopez619]

ToB Creations his drone footage is top shelf for sure 🙌🏽

[@Bazzo61]

Came here as an addition from Gavin's channel and so glad I did. I'm hooked. Beautiful images and love the way you talk through the process you used post processing. Looks like I'm now going to have to go back through all your other videos :-)

[@grahamhgraham]

For English trees, I'm guessing you should travel to say, England? You're surrounded here by birch, rowan, Scots pine & beech of course; all native to Scottish woodland.Another week there and the bluebells would be worth photographing. Nice monochromatic images.

[@debrareither4682]

I absolutely enjoyed your video! The forest scene is sooo enchanting. Thank you for sharing. Your photos are gorgeous. 😃

[@DavidSwarthout]

Oh, how I enjoy these videos! Your drone intros are especially good and the images wonderful, as always. Someone else mentioned that it's good to see you go back to your roots with this trip into the woodlands and I agree. Although they're stunning places, I'll never get to the Faroes or Isle of Skye so please, do some more woodland photography when time permits.

[@robgrayson]

Finding order amid the chaos of woodland is tricky indeed. I like your shots here, though for me the first one outshines the second. Also… that opening drone sequence is tresmendous!

[@leighdorey8271]

Missed your woodland images Adam, a couple of lovely images in what looked a fantastic wood.

[@stevesvids]

Absolutely beautiful images..... Edits worked so well...... I just can't emulate your eye and quality..... I won't give up.... Great vid... Thank you... Regards..... Steve.

[@rom-media6800]

Superbe video Adam! I feel like you went back to your roots with this one and I really enjoyed it! Simple and beautiful woodland photography. Cheers

[@TimChilders]

Absolutely love these trees! I miss Scotland! Your work is amazing as always.

[@AlanBilsborough]

English trees in Scotland? I love the US trees you find in Canada too! Ha ha, let you off, your heart's in the right place. Great photos.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Master reverse drone flier! Love the Bird sounds @11:30

[@robertgrenader858]

Your first Beech image when you did the closeup, looked like an underwater scene. Great job.

[@pattymattes7124]

I love these images! Gives me some ideas for shooting in my area. East coast of the states has many deciduous forests and they can be chaotic. We must have got your rain. Last year we broke a record for rainfall. This year not as bad for rain but we've been very green even well into the summer. Grass usually turns brown this time of year. Yes, we've had some areas that are a bit dry but on the whole we've been green which is unusual for this time of year. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@oscarmike47]

congrats on winning your trophy back

[@matssandquist9258]

This is like reverse of the saying "to not see the wood for the trees" :-) You have to have a sharp eye to find the compostions among all the trees.

[@IamUke]

Excellent discussion of composition and exposure choices. Nice work.

[@Nature_Wild_And_Free]

Beautiful location! Really like the ethereal look of the images! Well done my friend!

[@ronboe6325]

I really love your lead in drone shots. Something to consider, a video at a location that is primarily drone shots with a few still tossed in (opposite of your usual videos). Nice work!

[@windleman1]

Right that's it, off to our local beech forest in the morning!

[@paulus0109]

It all makes perfect sense! Thnx again Adam.

[@williamdesevo2089]

Nicely done. Love the music as well.

[@axele.134]

Thanks for your videos Adam! They are very inspiring for me!!

[@CatchavistaAerial]

Lovely trees, love your shots! Came here via Gavin`s channel - glad I did!

[@GrahamWilliamson1985]

Brilliant as always Adam. Love your work. Thanks for making.

[@jameschilton3901]

It is a great UK wood - especially slightly earlier in the season;) It was good to see how you approached constructing a composition and editted your images in the unpromising conditions.

[@davidrobertson4530]

The UK is a political construct. Scottish or British, please!

[@joshuamoore6038]

You should consider a trip down here in the Great Smoky Mountains. We have a nice section of old growth forest hidden in the Smoky's, including the worlds largest Poplar tree. The Appalachian Highlands are full of beauty and wonder, especially if you know where to look.

[@moodypaths]

That was amazing photography Adam!

[@heavenscape]

I really like the last image. It reminds me of the stock market....

[@iemboyshostel]

Amazing photos.

[@DebMcP71]

Don’t worry if you can’t remember the names of all the English trees...you’re in Scotland! 😉

[@as616]

This was another inspiring video. Thank you.

[@LpJunior537]

Only Gavin would wear his signature flip flops in the woods.

[@jimbembinster]

Very nicely done Adam.

[@jimbean532]

I hate it - when your videos end. 😉 Really enjoy your narrations and, of course, the beautiful images. FWIW, the RAW images were beautiful as shot imo. Thanks, Adam.

[@adamburton554]

Fabulous video Adam. Great to see you here on KZbin.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Adam Burton cheers, Adam! Yeah I seem to have discovered my calling😉👍🏼

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Love the ethereal look, great stuff Adam

[@michalstoch]

Scotland is amazing, thanks for sharing Adam ✌ Cheers !

[@steveokay1]

Beautiful! I really like the formats ;)

[@whafrog]

Fantastic as usual. I really don't get your subscriber numbers. Everything about your videos is top-notch, from production to commentary to b-roll. I learn the most from you and Thomas Heaton...lots of other good photographers of course, but if I'm pressed for time, it's you and TH that get priority.

[@1spitfirepilot]

Great. Woodland is a genre I'm working to improve right now. I'm thinking of Squarespace, too, btw - if I go for it I'll use your name.

[@molopez619]

Anywhere I can see your work!

[@DavidSenteno]

The opening sequence was spot on. Great job. 🐼✌️

[@AccessiblePhotography]

Adam, I hope you don't mind, but I am "borrowing" a few seconds of this vlog. At the end of a vlog I am editing just now, I show that to help in my inadequacies in woodland photography I am watching your vlogs to learn more. Literally filming myself watching you then stopping it to speak to camera and sign off before going back to your vlog. Any objection to this please just say. (Looking at 5.30 toward 6.00 max) My vlogs are more about getting out and taking pictures as opposed to the technical side.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Yep no problem!

[@FollowPhotiniByDesign]

Another awesome upload, keep up the good work boss...

[@mikecapell7965]

Love the photos have y'all ever thought about coming to Texas take photos it was just a question

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Mike Capell perhaps one day

[@andychattaway5620]

Why wouldn't you be looking forward to going home when you live in Canada. I'm looking forward to you getting back in your element with the British Columbia forests that suit you so well.

[@markheslington214]

Another interesting video but I have to admit that I'm looking forward to your getting back to Canada and shooting what you know. I think your knowledge of locations in Canada is reflected in your images and I just don't find your images from Scotland/Faroes to be as good. Don't get me wrong I love your work but personally I think your talent lies in capturing images of the Canadian wilderness, which is amazing :)

[@kevinarrowsmith6955]

Another great video Adam. Also, you should produce a compilation of all your drone intros with music - a work of art in themselves

[@countriesandplaces507]

дерева

[@johnleftwich650]

Great video Adam. You need to cut Gavin some slack though. Any guy who walks around in the woodlands wearing flip-flops can't be all bad.

[@johnsholian4318]

Stealing Gavin’s comps? Next thing you know, you’ll be trekking in flip-flops... Love that first image Adam. I’m always amazed how you can pick out subjects in dense woodlands. It’s an art that I struggle with but I’m certainly more aware of after watching your channel and Simon Baxter’s as well. Cheers!

[@anvilcloud]

Thanks again for another inspiring vlog. Oddly enough, just before you confessed to using Gavin’s idea, I was going to ask you about this. Normally, if he finds a composition, so you just kick yourself and move on, or as in this case, do you shoot it too?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

John Rayner we rarely shoot the same stuff as we both have different interests although I did like this comp so grabbed it before he could haha.

[@trikannadprashanthkumar7189]

Sir, could you tell me the name of the tripod you are using. Thanks

[@QuietLightPhoto]

trikannad prashanthkumar three legged thing, The Wilson

[@FrasSmith]

You're in Scotland, but you say you're not familiar with English trees. I'm confused. :-)

[@daibhidh]

where in Scotland is this woodland ?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Sorry but I've been sworn to secrecy. Apart from that I couldn't really tell you anyway as I wasn't driving at the time so I wasn't really paying attention.

[@daibhidh]

@@QuietLightPhoto i understand , ive just been really trying to locate old growth ancient woods for photography in Scotland because I live here, maybe you know some not so secret old growth woodlands that you can share ? ps I really enjoy your channel

[@IamRecon001]

I AM in the market for a stylish and contemporary website , but more pressing is the need to know location of that place ( won’t tell a soul )

[@howardallen5390]

It must feel good to steal something from Gavin for a change.
