Photographing the LANDSCAPE/Huangshan, CHINA

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Next week I'll be heading over to the UK so not sure that I'll have a video up but I will try to put a question period video up. Have a question? head over to the community tab on my main page and ask your questions, thanks!

[@hunterwickes1502]

To say 'Stunning Images' doesn't seem to do them justice. Some of the most beautiful shots I have ever seen.

[@hamsterneckliving]

That last shot was incredible. The depth. Almost 3d with the craggy rocks in the right foreground and the eye drawn thru the middle. Just incredible. Epic!

[@anne-marielittenberg8950]

Phenomenal photographs. The toning, composition, light and subject: everything adds up to perfection

[@stormyrayn2104]

Absolutely Breathtaking. A photographer’s paradise. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty and wonder of this remarkable place.

[@paullee3127]

Shooting Huangshan always testing patient and adaptability of a photographers. Adam, I really enjoy your pictures taking one of the most pretty and spiritual influences mountains, where did being visited by famous ancient literary persons and painters in old China.

[@twotone3070]

Those first cloud round the mountain shots were tremendous. It looked like a kid in a sweet shop moment for you.

[@cdrdd]

5:39 Mesmerizing and mysterious landscape of China, congratulations on that shot

[@acarrasco]

That last photo was absolutely......mystical.

[@miamimo70]

Really does lift the Soul, I will never regret the weather there, Huangshan never seems to disappoint. I went in October last, and it was just as amazing as you picture it. Wonderful, I want to go back and stay on the Mountain. The crowds are noisy, but they did help me climb to Lotus Peak. I figured if elderly Chinese have No fear then I can do this! Great video

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Adam, I was so moved by your skills of observation. Your images are amazing and yes I would say ' Fine Art ' I loved those cloudy weather systems and those glorious peaks which simply demanded to be photographed. The background music was perfect for this vlog and you will come back fitter that when you went out! As always thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. I often think... that I am a half-decent photographer, until, I see your work lol

[@williamdesevo2089]

Don't know what else to say but those photos at the end are definitely "wall worthy". Thanks for sharing this trip which goes to prove that planet Earth has some pretty spectacular settings everywhere. You just have to get out and see them.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Man that intro was just killer! As well as the entire video!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Michael!

[@Hirsutechin]

Rounds off a tremendously (trezmendously?) worthwhile trip to China, thanks for sharing. The image at 15:16 is full of light and marvellous!

[@jenalihart.lifewithoutborders]

Loved your videos. Mt huangshan is a mystical place. Can't find anywhere else in the world like Mt huangshan ☺️ keep it going ❣️❣️

[@melshearer3289]

Your pictures are incredible and I really enjoyed them, they remind me of a trip my family took to the Smokie Mountains in Tenn in 1984. My children had never seen the Mountains with the clouds setting all the way to the ground, very beautiful. “Keep shooting”

[@JohnPaul-ii]

You can see why this region has been used in some of the big Chinese films. Excellent photography again Adam. Thanks for sharing your trip.

[@philwheelhouse3405]

Stunning Adam, and I'am just looking at the Images and video footage on my laptop, can't Imagine what It feels like to be there. Superb Images and vlog as always just love your work. I know what you mean about the Increase In tourism and in particular Photographers, I'am lucky enough to live in the Scottish highlands and have seen a massive increase over the last four years, we can thank digital equipment and social media for this. Fortunately the highlands still have many locations which are unknown and hopefully will stay that way for years to come. I used think that sharing locations was the right thing to do, but having seen the aftermath of what Increased tourism brings with it, I now think otherwise. I am not tarring all photographers with this problem, but there are a lot that just want to capture that iconic image at what ever cost to the location, I feel that they work on the principle of well I won't be coming back again so I am not bothered what I/we leave behind. It's a big problem up here now and local villages are left with collecting all of the rubbish and mending walls to try and keep on top of the situation but they are struggling to do so. I suppose that's the times we live in. On a more positive note please keep the vlogs coming along with the superb images and technical info always look forward to them, thank you.

[@kyleklip101]

Love how you show both the raw images and the finished product

[@marcusslade9804]

Video and images just fabulous here, Adam. You saved the best for last. Nothing grumpy here.

[@keliu5821]

Being a Chinese landscape lover, I gotta tell you that you have no idea how lucky you were to encounter such fantastic cloudy condition in Huangshan. Many in country photographers went to Huangshan multiple times but might or might not get such condition once, me included. Love your shots btw.

[@dougsanford295]

Wow, outstanding video and photos! That shot of Lotus Peak looked surreal and your choice of accompanying music added so much to the atmosphere. Thanks, for taking us along on your adventures! Can't wait to see the next one!

[@Archibald_Quincy_Stanton]

A magical place. One for the bucket list.

[@marleensteurbaut3630]

Absolutely beautiful photos, especially the B&W one and those of your last evening. ❤️

[@pathorne8018]

This destination alone would have made the entire trip worthwhile to me. Stunning images and footage.

[@iemboyshostel]

Alien landscapes...awesome atmosphere.... really enjoyed it... good selection of trditional Chinese music too

[@seantomlinson3320]

I really appreciate that you show us so many RAW (well, OOC jpgs, right?) to compare against the final products. That last shot is my favorite.

[@toddcanterino3376]

Wow, that image after the grand piano part is my favorite of this trip of yours. Also, kudos on the music selection.

[@crissignori7482]

Easy to see why there are so many Chinese in British Columbia ...... Great shots as always and thanks for the commentary, Adam

[@lisamarie7527]

Absolutely incredible footage and photographs Adam! We really enjoyed the video! Love your channel ❤️ Cheers and Happy Long weekend!

[@JeradLarkin]

Love this! I can't wait to get my mavic in the sky and record some shots of Denver (and Colorado). Thanks for sharing. 😀

[@mortenandersen6313]

I love your images - layers on layers on layers so much depth covred in good light in All kind of shapes. I travl to Southchina every year, i cant get enough of the Guilin Mountains e en they are not as high as the Mountains you visited

[@derMumer]

Thank you so much for sharing! The first and the last 90 seconds were some of the most beautyful and calm landscape videos I've ever seen.

[@KurtBaumanMobilePhotography]

Incredible! You certainly are the best photography channel on KZbin. Between the photos, and cinematic video it's an inspiring experience watching this.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you!

[@bryanthornton6787]

I was hoping you'd visit the mountains again!! Thanks for sharing the amazing video and photos.

[@jeroenintheafternoon7057]

What a place, luckey that the last evening was good. Love your work Adam

[@Tingeltangelbob10]

Dear Adam, these pictures (just as the video itself) are just incredible! I needed to pause the video so often just to let it sink in. If I had more walls I would love to frame and hang each and every one of those photos. But if I had to pick my absolute favorites from the ones you showed, I'd chose the first and the last one. Absolutely amazing work!!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you!

[@jeremybuscay]

Uncle Grum... Ahem. Adam, it's no surprise you received the Landscape Photographer of the Year award! Amazing shots, thanks for making the video and sharing with us.

[@tofudrifter]

oh man...pic @ 5:14 = ILPOTY 2020 yearbook! i am calling it!

[@TL-xw6fh]

Thank you for showing us your absolutely stunning photos in the whole China visit. I have to say that I am absolutely privileged to have seen your images. You are a tremendous photographer, and deserve way more than 21k subscribers. I just can't understand how some KZbinrs have amassed over a million subscribers but who simply produce rubbish.

[@dianecotton9531]

Wow!!! Stunning images! What an atmospheric place!

[@vproven]

Your work gets better and better and your photography is second to none. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@peterjay274]

Spectacular photos, particularly the last pano.

[@cookfred281051]

Lovely images, looks like you had the same type of weather we had when we were there. Those steps are a killer though, can still feel it in my legs!

[@billonthehill9984]

Back to the Gobi & a most pleasant surprise Adam! There is something very mystical about these mountains. Before viewing I read a lovely comment by Robin Chun below & just knew I was in for something special. I concur with her statement as " Close To The Edge " by YES came to mind right off the bat... I Had front row seats to a YES concert " On The Roundtable " half a lifetime ago at the Hartford Civic Center... The ENTIRE band played including both drummers! Thanks Adam & great shots btw! Bill... :~)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Bill!

[@brandonwells8300]

A wonderful conclusion to a spectacular series.

[@anvilcloud]

Probably my favourite images from this trip.

[@richcower]

Very nice photos Adam, love the drama in them. Thanks.

[@jeremyedwards9702]

Wow, the 3 stitch pano is incredible, definitely ‘Lost World’ scenery

[@Philobr]

Great video, image at 15:45 is just stunning.

[@valpayne2963]

Wow. And your last image, the light on the foreground peak on the right just makes the image stunning.

[@ewrzosek]

I have just one word... Amazing! Reminds me of when I made the trip there 7 years ago, but I can happily say, you had FAR better luck with the weather and light than I did! And you also had MUCH smaller crowds to contend with! Again, absolutely stunning photos Adam!!!

[@matty332010]

Looks like an amazing trip!! Thanks again Adam, those images are amazing.

[@jimbean532]

Magical! Especially love the pano at the end.

[@jcbouden]

The mood on those photographs is just on point. Awesome work!

[@mariacyou9265]

Breathtaking sceneries, amazing video and photographs. Thank you Adam for sharing your experiences, knowledge and talent with us. For those who can participate in Adam's workshops, congratulations for the choice one of the best photography teacher. All the best to all quite light photographers.

[@paulmills8472]

Hello Adam. Love your work. Subscribed to your videos to keep your numbers above your bandy legged friend phototripper.

[@gabyisphoto2379]

Your video is as spectacular as your photos!

[@simonbaigrie2485]

Loved the shot at 15:44!

[@andychattaway5620]

Hi Adam, superb video. Not just great images but also unique. Your photographs those craggy pinnacled mountains in the swirling cloud are epic 👌

[@johnsholian4318]

You captured the moody, atmospheric scenery brilliantly Adam! Bloody brutal stair workout be damned, Karen should be commended for tagging along or is it the other way around? My surgically repaired knee would be no match for those treks so thanks for doing that and sharing. Stunning.

[@proach3]

Definitely some great images. My favorite is at 15:09 right before your pano. Sublime! Everyone comments on your drone work which is outstanding but I have to commend you on your choices for music; they always set the right mood for your images. And kudos to Karen for carrying her gear up to that hotel! She is a keeper.

[@larryrudnick1519]

I liked all of the images but the last pano shot was outstanding. Looks like a fantastic trip.

[@sarkarpappu]

Excellent video Adam, I have been living in China for 8 years, never been inspired to visit Yellow mountain as much after watching your videos.

[@kevinfrench9896]

Wow what a place.

[@gadgetqueen808]

Definitely award winning photography. Thank you for sharing your experience. Stunning captures!

[@kevinarrowsmith6955]

Some of the best photography I’ve seen in a long time - the final pano is outstanding!

[@gordroberts53]

Beautifully crafted images and video. This will be revisited many times for sure. One of my very favourite videos to date. Impossible for me to choose a favourite as I get so much from every episode but right up there with the best I've watched. Thanks for sharing!

[@dinsdalephotography]

Magnificent shots Adam - fantastic video, music and pics - MORE please!

[@tysanborn554]

What a magical, mystical place --- And the photos are wonderful, as always. Thanks for sharing (love the music too!)

[@hermilioquintana9178]

Adam, great video with music that that makes you feel like you are actually there . Thank you

[@ElevatedPerspectives-M3]

What a place stunning images

[@jimtipton8888]

Great video Adam! I think if there was a guy named Zen, this is where he would live!

[@eo7770]

Your photos , i'll give your 5 stars !

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

I love image #1 especially the details in the tree. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@philpetrie]

Thank you very much for sharing this with us Adam , just spectacular scenery and the way that you walk us through the video is very inspiring to us all , Im sure of that , Phil

[@jefffiles9209]

Magical images again Adam, you could do this for a job ;-D The mountain image at 7mins is wonderful, looks like steam coming out the top, very well edited sir. This has been a facinating series, a real joy to watch. Can't wait to see the UK trip vlogs.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Would be great to make a living out of it, not quite there at the moment. Cheers!

[@grahamjones2759]

Tremendous! Loved the images and video. Just watch on your visit to Scotland that you don’t bump into McGrumpy.

[@M.Campbell]

Amazing. The bridge and walkways on Lotus Peak are scary looking. Thank you for sharing your photos and trip.

[@danfry909]

Oh my god! This is mindblowing work! I'm actually dribbling...

[@rockychocbill]

More wonderful images Adam. The layering is just fabulous. And PP is superb as usual. Love the B&W image, but the pano is my fav. You will need to curate the Huangshan series at some point for it's own gallery showing imo. BTW, it was very nice meeting you and Karin at Art Vancouver. I hope you sold a few that weekend. 👍

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Nice to meet you as well Bill!

[@fototyz]

Blimey!! Just stunning.... your mastery of light is very impressive 👍

[@شهاب.بن.عباس]

Nice shots 😍 such an epic atmosphere ❤📷

[@thomaspopple2291]

Amazing images of an amazing area. The panoramic was incredible.

[@Higgins_Nature_Photographer]

Very interesting location Adam, you were able to get some beautiful shots of this rugged mountain terrain, it looks like a different world. The clouds swirling around the rocks really helped make the shots you took. You and Gavin should consider doing a workshop at this location.

[@paulafontanini5719]

Hauntingly beautiful images and the music suits the mood perfectly. Your videos are truly an inspiration!

[@stephenrowson4828]

Wow!! The opening video sequences are stunning and the last set of images are amazing! I imagine they will make beautiful prints. Thanks for sharing

[@steffenandersensahl9443]

Wow! what an amazing place and stunning images you came away with from there. It looks like a once in a lifetime trip. Really enjoyed this series.

[@davidroberts6766]

Really enjoyed the whole series of videos from China. Spectacular stuff. I am in the midst of saving for a D850....your work on that machine is doing nothing to dissuade me in my quest.

[@kevinharding9361]

Haha oh damn. Living in Shanghai, Huangshan is not far away at all (takes around 4 hours: fly, drive, cablecar) so I've been there 4 times (landscapes in summer & winter and also twice for birds). Now you've inspired me to go again. Sigh. I'll start the planning now :D Awesome shots! I will warn anyone who's planning to go that there are *some* very steep (ca. 70 degree, where you use both hands and feet) climbs (near vertical stairs) with only little walls between you and mighty drop offs - I've seen a few people crying out of fear (they really shouldn't have been up there but don't want to lose 'face' with their friends). So only bother if you have little fear of heights.

[@AndyGustavsson]

Lovely stuff Adam, I feel a strong concept art vibe over your these, such beautiful photos!

[@timgreen5235]

Loving the quality of the 'set piece' video segments setting the scene - top work.

[@kevins8575]

Beautiful images and video. Nicely done!

[@fredpruitt6031]

Very nice Adam, truely enjoyed the scenery and commentary . Such a beautiful place, thanks for sharing your adventure. Good choice of music as well, very fitting for the location.

[@geraldhewes]

Very beautiful atmosphere

[@gcarmichael]

Fantastic work Adam! 12:00 & 15:12 are some of your best work out there. And most of avoid the rainy weather....

[@johnbean7911]

Superb as always fella. That pano is just awesome, very atmospheric.

[@jonglass]

breathtakingly beautiful! Thanks

[@paulus0109]

I liked the 3-image pano so much. It wood be hanging on my wall!

[@drewturnbull1]

Stunning pano Adam!
