Adam, I just want to say that I really appreciate that you show the RAW file before you show the final image. Of all the KZbin photographers I follow, I think you are the only one who consistently does that.

[@christianpatton1852]

I agree

[@RewDowns]

Agreed, I always like to see how he’s going to edit it, and I love his editing style so I learn a lot from it

[@craigmantle5362]

I thought we were going to hear Nigel saying “it doesn’t get better than this” in the background 😄

[@geoffreywignall7007]

Always love Nigel's enthusiastic catch phrase (and 'Pickles' 🐕)

[@AllRedLFC]

Thank you for your personal thoughts and amazing captures of this stunning place. Watching any of your videos is very entertaining and so inspiring. But then there is only ONE Adam Gibbs!! 😉

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@tmjcbs]

Aahh...that's so much better and to the point than the photos in the other videos of this trip with their too contrived compositions and cluttered foreground interest...

[@davemacdonald3804]

Adam. That last sequence of photos was mind-blowingly tasty! Absolutely stunning. Your vlogs (particularly this one) are a constant reminder that patience and determination are the real keys to excellent landscape photography. The light is truly everything! Thanks for keeping me alert to the fact that waiting for the light to be right is the most essential thing I can do to improve my "keepers".

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheSpaniel1]

Fantastic images Adam, those peaks look like they are on fire. Thanks for sharing

[@michaelkissane6138]

One of the most glorious sites on earth. Glad you caught it in such spectacular conditions. We, too, had a wonderful time on our visit there during a 'bucket list' trip 2 yrs ago.

[@wild_about_scotland]

Amazing location. Beautiful shots Adam. 😊

[@simonbaigrie2485]

Alway appreciated your mininalised editing style and you natural colour tone Adam. They really com to the fore in these images!

[@laurelb8372]

Stunning colour on those peaks. Beautiful images 👏

[@glennkaufman7228]

Some of the most beautiful light on the planet, and you nailed it Adam. Bravo.

[@markleary3524]

Love it when Adam is smiling and has good light.. Keep having fun Adam

[@RJBeacon]

Love the collaboration videos with you guys…!… What a crew!… Great mix of personalities - all who love their craft and while hi-lighting different styles of great photography… my compliments!…

[@susannestockli]

Brings back memories from my trip to Patagonia last spring.😍 Thanks a lot for this amazing vlog!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My pleasure 😊

[@jsimes1]

Wowza you definitely caught the light! Lovely!! I've seen some pretty funny videos with Mads and James shooting together. Mads always looking for the epic landscape and James shooting lorries and trash bins! I love it all for their own unique style! 😃

[@Smedley60]

I love the excitement and enthusiasm. That's what photography is all about. And the light of course. 😊

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Absolutely!!

[@trishf29]

Magnificent images and stunning scenery, Adam! I always enjoy your commentary on your videos too. I follow most of the other guys there, so it was a treat to see you all enjoying yourselves together, especially by that waste bin!!! It would have made James’ day!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@J5388T]

Spectacular shots and with lighting like that you dont need to worry about vlogging as the pictures provide the story!

[@vincentlamoureux422]

Ultimate light on these famous peaks! Bravo!

[@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography]

Some amazing light and photos Adam. Well played. A part of the world I am yet to reach but always on the list.

[@hoythausgsp]

Terrific video. Spectacular scenery!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@AliasJimWirth]

Seems like you always come away with some nice images, but if you don't, you have valuable insight to share. Seems to always be a win/win. A great time out with the "crew", too. Thanks for posting.

[@rusluck6014]

Спасибо! Отличное видео. Как всегда было интересно. Так же было здорово видеть других знакомых и любимых фотографов, таких как Нейджел и Медс =)

[@chrismassa5891]

Man’s impact on nature. Love James’s approach. I like adding that after sunrise is done along with long lens abstracts, shoot till sunset.

[@pascalthiebaud]

What a light , you can thanks your Mother to put you into this world 😉

[@deanpratley125]

They know your the best photographer out there, so they watch where you go, and viola…..you get blocked bye your followers.

[@rusluck6014]

там собрались отличные фотографы, я за всеми слежу в ютуб )

[@RickBebbington]

I appreciate you including my dancing (which I'm not sure I even recall doing 🤣)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Seemed to go well with the music, you’re so talented Rick!😂👍🏼

[@wallystellmacher6794]

Great photos. My advice: Take Mads with you on your trips. Then great weather conditions are guaranteed. 😂😂

[@andy_simmo]

That made me giggle! 😂

[@andyblessett1951]

When you are in an area thats been photographed to death by some of the worlds top 'Snappers', it's was always going to be a tough ask. I commend you for your efforts in putting your own stamp on it. It's a tribute to your skills

[@michaelj.1121]

What a location - and still a struggle. But you succeed nicely 👏

[@rosssayer6524]

Amazing Location, Thanks Adam for taking us along on this adventure. I really liked the Image at 17:35 brilliant light and colour.

[@anonymouspdg6121]

I don't care if these mountains have been photographed before. As I live in a cave, I haven't seen them so your images are the first, and they are amazing! To be honest, as this is the first time you have seen them, it doesn't really matter what everyone else has done as these are your first images. I suppose the issue is in researching the location you cant avoid seeing images which can prejudice your own thought processes?

[@andymcgarty3099]

Inspirational images, just wonderful.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@GirdHerd]

You mentioned the dumpster. I follow a few young "punk" film photographers who would go straight for that dumpster in the foreground and mountains in the background just to get a different perspective.

[@kennygo8300]

I watch both you and James... every video, for the different perspectives. I've incorporated a lot of James' style into my own.

[@kenharnish5778]

Well Adam it appears you are a victim of the composition conspiracy. Great images and thanks for the video. You must be exhausted from all that travel.

[@davidfitzpatrick7399]

I always come upon an area as if it's the first time I've ever seen it, even if I was there before. Weather and light can be different and the person trying to steal your shot. lol. Never know if you think outside the box you may find that shot that people pass up!

[@junerobinson8169]

Lovely photo's as usual. Lovely scenery. Thanks for sharing..😊

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My pleasure 😊

[@martyd5819]

Where ever I go to shoot, I always try to include the mundane. Adds to the ' flavor'. :>) Wonderful images. Always makes my Sunday morning special. Thank you for sharing.

[@johngrahamcurry1641]

Super photos. I hope to visit my youngest sons in laws next year in Chile and incorporate a trip to Patagonia. Really inspirational.

[@ashstubbings2603]

Truly amazing! I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it!

[@thomasphillips5850]

Wow Adam , what color! I don't know how you could stop taking shots. Perfect spot , thanks f I r taking us along.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My pleasure!

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

Those panos Adam...🤌🤌🤌

[@DonybrookandBray]

Stunning!

[@gayleruble6529]

Incredible light…understatement of the year!!! WOW! Stunning images for sure!

[@brianmckeever5280]

Looks like you got a couple keepers there ;-) The bottom of the image @ 16:10 reminded me of a Scottish Loch. Then your eyes move up and wow, this isn't Scotland! Outstanding images sir. That Fuji certainly seems fit for purpose in that landscape. Safe travels!

[@fototripper]

Gorgeous. It's got to be the most spectacular mountain scene on the planet.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

It's up there with Little Mountain ;-)

[@searam1]

Cheers Adam, it’s Sean in Atlanta. What magnificent images! Those other “inferior” snapshooters should not cramp the Landscape Photographer of the Universe’s style! I’m kidding, of course! That entire herd of photographers are my favourites! Thanks and I really enjoyed your images! Sean

[@blivieriphoto]

Fantastic Adam, what a gorgeous area. This might just make my bucket list. 😁 Absolutely beautiful images. ❤

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@susanmeyer8885]

Breathtaking video. Thanks for sharing your time there.

[@carolynmcgill6790]

I loved that final image -wowza!!!😎

[@billwinward9324]

Another great video, Adam, with some stunning images.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@julianpaxton5750]

Thanks Adam another excellent video.

[@rawvoltairephoto]

Amazing place. A dream destination for any landscape photographer 👌👌👌❤️

[@cgriggsiv]

Adam excellent video absolutely phenomenal photography

[@davebenson1504]

a little Edward Burtynski with the dumpster 🙂 Yes... I am amazed you can talk while that light is exploding around you at about 16:00 mins! 🙂 Thanks!

[@tTLM823]

Wow photos, Adam! So wonderful.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@BrianTaylorPhotography]

Beautiful, But I wanted to keep giving thumbs up but KZbin only lets you do it once... LOL

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Such an incredible collection of images in one vid Pal 👏👏

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Darren!

[@AccessiblePhotography]

Nice images as always. You sure did underestimate what was coming with that colour. 😊

[@7204Joseph]

Wow! Wow! Wow! The BEST. :o)

[@infrequentgamer_greg]

Adam, I enjoyed the scenic location, but as I was watching this video, I was thinking you were like a "fish out of water" because this was not your preferred "quiet light" scenario, but was a rather different "grand light" scenario. You've mentioned many times in the past, that shooting the grand scene is not your thing. So let me ask you will you ever return to shoot at the Torres del Paine? Were you ever able to find any quiet light images? Is a stunning location like this not worth visiting for "quiet light" shooters?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

As much as I enjoyed my stay I will probably not do a revisit

[@davidmantripp5312]

Rio Serrano? Wow. I imagine you scored a discount 😂

[@mickeystine3100]

Great shots🔥🔥🔥

[@linjicakonikon7666]

"infamous" peaks? "Infamous" is perjorative. "Famous" has the positive connotation. So what did you mean?

[@ronboe6325]

The last few shots had a strong Maxfield Parrish feel to them - which is not a bad thing. Makes me wonder what he could have done with them had he visited there.

[@deanpratley125]

Just a quick unrelated question Adam. What makes a person a professional photographer? Is it selling prints & Calendars, or does it include teaching others as well?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I always thought as a professional as someone that does that activity for a profession.

[@deanpratley125]

@@QuietLightPhoto yes I would tend to agree. Thanks Adam.

[@stewartmacintyre7857]

Wow, just wow, right place right time ... yet again, it's almost like the more you try the 'luckier' you get 😋

[@QuietLightPhoto]

You got that right!

[@nevillewatkins4997]

Not bad. 😄 What a place though.

[@lordjim9744]

👍👏

[@KGi4]

Adam is trolling. Coming to Pentagonia and trying to not photograph obvious landscapes. That's hilarious 😂😂😂😂😁😁😁

[@chasereed7141]

There are some that steal lens cloths lol

[@whitefootimages]

Nice

[@yakupbozkr373]

👏👏👏

[@composedlight6850]

imitation greatest form of flattery -- they all know you are that good LOL

[@linjicakonikon7666]

These images are awful. Or are they awe full? See how words can make or break the meaning of a sentence?
