An Unforgettable Backpacking Trip to Washington's Alpine Lakes Wilderness

[@simonverrill]

Try not to be so hard on your work Brae. The fact you are still sharing your work and taking us on your adventures is pretty admirable, especially for us perfectionist!

[@BraeHunziker]

Appreciate that. Thank you!

[@zagcard]

The Brae x Tuck and Robin video that we’ve been waiting on for YEARS! So good man. The looney tunes ass splash on the 2nd plunge was good lol. Great job documenting the beauty and ruggedness of the trail.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! Yeah that was the actual audio from the jump. Pretty funny. Appreciate ya watching the video!

[@zfisher]

Love the shot of Robin lake with the goats in the foreground

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks!

[@SamuelGarcia-rf4th]

such beautiful landscape! Thanks for taking us on the journey!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for watching!

[@ssunday8829]

B rolls are great as always, Brae! Would love to see your workflow on video production if that's ever in the cards in the near future!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! And noted. At some point I would like to make a video about that.

[@alhOOO2O]

Thanks for sharing your trip to such a stunning area. Great photos and a great video

[@alhOOO2O]

It would also be super interesting if you have the ability to print from the dark room whether the Velvia colours look better printed from the negative, rather than scanned digitally

[@Kelei01]

Another adventure with Brae and another masterpiece. Thanks for sharing sir! 🫡🙏

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for watching!

[@maxwellwellmax878]

Wow!! what an amazing place!. Thanks for a great video and images.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for checking out the vid 🤝🏼

[@outdoorroving9648]

Wow, the views were incredible. Thanks for sharing. That is now going to be added to my bucket list.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! Definitely recommend it

[@hpblanchard]

Thank you for these videos!! The photos were amazing and it just inspires me to get out and take more photos.

[@BraeHunziker]

Love it. Thanks for watching

[@Dylanwade_]

I love getting to experience hikes that I’ll most likely never get to do, through you. It’s also a lot easier on my back to just watch the video lol. Keep it up.

[@BraeHunziker]

Hahah smart man. My back and neck are so out of whack from this stuff it's kinda scary lol 😅

[@AaronGood]

Incredible shots and video as always, mate. Constant inspiration.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@geebes2112]

Dude! That was so cool to see, looks like a great trip, I adore those sunset photos you took. ❤

[@BraeHunziker]

Was a super fun one! Thanks for watching!

[@johnmilner0859]

Beautiful film and images. That Kodak film stock is really good. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! yeah 250D is great

[@Dan_photo]

Absolutely amazing video Brae! Those shots turned out excellent. I need to get outside more!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! Can’t beat the outdoors :)

[@ChrisBrown-dz9sz]

Great colors in your shots/video

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@thomverhoeven7896]

I really get the perfectionism. It gets me for over 10 years now already. Its hard to make fresh/new work and be happy with it. Beautiful locations which you should enjoy despite the final images as well. I wish I lived in your location, would leave to the mountains every weekend haha. I love slide, but the moment I dont look at my images with a slightly warm projector light but scanned on a screen I kinda think they suck, always. Slide is really meant to keep analog IMO. Btw. the sound on your drinking and eating parts is kinda intenste, just saying XD.

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Stunning visuals! The landscapes are so beautifully shot. Can’t wait to see more! 👍130

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@andresalva1101]

You are a massive inspiration Brae!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! Appreciate ya watching

[@mattiashaggstrom2049]

Thanks for another wonderful video. The last couple of days I have began thinking of testing Vision 3 respooled in 120. Happy to see that it can produces great pictures.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for watching! I've really enjoyed the results from it

[@DannyJSchaefer]

Awesome video and channel man. Nice meeting you at the creek crossing on the way down from there!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks dude! Very nice to meet you as well :)

[@Isaiahscheel]

Did this hike twice over the last couple years and it is quite amazing! Going back actually in a week or so but splitting off to Marmot/Jade

[@BraeHunziker]

Heck yea. Did marmot a couple years ago. Eager to get back there and do dip top gap

[@Samantha-bw4qd]

I would totally go with you next time 😅❤ epic adventure

[@GoldenThreads1]

real good

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@damium5]

Dude, you should come here in Italy and Hike in the alps :) Pictures are always amazing!!

[@BraeHunziker]

It's on my list!! Next couple years I'll get out there hopefully

[@GreenOutdoorsPNW]

Love this dude!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks!

[@matthewyoung4366]

Love love love your videos dude :)

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks ❤️

[@ChristopherChaconYT]

Brooo, at some point on a shot of you at sunset, you can see like 10 mosquitoes circling your head - look I love the outdoors, but those mosquitoes are vicious lol how'd you survive that?? Great video! 🔥🔥

[@BillLovesFilm]

Wow - Velvia at blue hour is gutsy. High risk high reward, well done. Btw you inspired me to fly to Utah this weekend to do some solo hiking with my Mamiya 6 (50mm is magnificent). I have some Velvia and Portra 800 in the bag (never shot landscapes on P800 before but yours always look awesome.) Cheers!

[@BraeHunziker]

Heck yeah! Love to hear that. 800 speed is nice and versatile. Sounds like a great time. Enjoy.

[@nomimidzu8984]

Thank you, it's very interesting! But it seems to me that in this video the composition of the video segments is more beautiful than the composition of the photos.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks!

[@chadpurser]

Your video grading looks like your film shots. I'm not sure how you do it, but it's awesome. Also, the bugs swarming you at the peak are insane.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks man! And yeah the bugs were vicious lol

[@bobsykes]

Incredible place! I thought the photos you made at the very highest elevation were exceptional. I so much enjoy the videos you make, rather than the endless stream of "Sony just loaned me this new thing!" gear review videos that completely saturate this platform. You live in a beautiful place. I hope you enjoy making this kind of content enough to want to keep doing it. ✌

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you, Bob! Going to try to keep doing it as long as my knees allow me to haha. Cheers.

[@Wileyinthestreets]

My alert never showed bc it says this video is made for kids? Either way, glad I didn’t miss this one ❤

[@BraeHunziker]

That’s odd. Didn’t tag it as a made for kids video lol. Thanks for watching!

[@fl-rando]

Wonderful, refreshing moments up there😊

[@HikeWithKurt]

You need to check out Thunder Mountain Lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. I was just there this past weekend. Incredible views. If you want coordinates for an amazing campsite there just let me know I'll share with you.

[@BraeHunziker]

That one is on my list! Hoping to get out there next season

[@hmuz8388]

13:20 nightmare fuel!

[@BraeHunziker]

Haha they were everywhere!

[@rossana782]

Brad Hunsiker is to Washington Alpine lakes as Joshua Cripps is to Sierra Nevada Alpine lakes

[@BraeHunziker]

❤️❤️

[@erikoteh]

Great Video as always Brae. I never noticed what beautiful eyes you had haha. Btw, when you are taking the sunset pictures, the amount of mosquitoes on your hat gave me anxiety, are you using repelent?

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! Yea, I was using repellent, but sometimes it doesn't do a whole lot lol

[@markfoster2224]

You ever hiked a 14er? Interested?

[@tomislavmiletic_]

(15:50) A split - ND filter would be of tremendous help there. However, given that you did NOT used an SLR camera, that could create a whole new set of problems 🤣

[@BraeHunziker]

Haha yeah that's the bummer with the Mamiya. Although I've read about a method that allows you to use split NDs on rangefinders. Just haven't set my camera up for it yet...

[@tomislavmiletic_]

@@BraeHunziker I've tried that way, way back in the day, and failed miserably...

[@JimmyCheng]

damn did you change your video camera man? why it looks so crisp! bm 6k?

[@BraeHunziker]

i shoot all my hiking videos on the Sony a7iv and the 24-70 gm ii !

[@danielwu1420]

where are you getting velvia developed?

[@BraeHunziker]

I drop off at Speedy ePhoto in Lakewood, Wa. However they send it off to a third party lab for dev and im not sure which lab that is

[@danielwu1420]

@@BraeHunziker i see. was wondering because last i tried to take velvia to a lab they said it was illegal to develop in the us, but that i could try some labs in canada. great video 😁
