[@Noealz]

[@aows]

Thank you, appreciate it :)

Adrian, you create the most beautiful, calming and wonderfully composed images. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your explorations.

[@aows]

Thank you, Andrew!!! Really appreciate it :)

What a beautiful place to be in. I love the cinematography and music used in this video. It worked really well with the location I thought.

[@aows]

Thank you, Allysse! It's a beautiful place, those trees are just incredible.

[@larryselvidge901]

I think you did a fine job of capturing the small and the large. Especially the B&W of the sunlight filtering through the trees....very nice indeed!

[@aows]

Thank you, Larry! Glad you liked them :)

Really Really loved the Golden Gate Bridge images! really took me back when I was there and the grain explosion on the images made me think of an old newspaper photo from the turn of the century.

[@aows]

Thanks! That bridge is very special, I love the landscape and the atmosphere, it's just incredible.

Que cosas,como coincidimos!!,después de la última ruta montañera,la mísma tarde encargué una cámara compacta para llevármela al monte,una x10 con zoom 28-112 f2-2,8,que muy compacta no es pero te enfoca desde 1 cm y lleva un sensor más que decente si se me ocurre hacer copias,y además no tener que cargar con varios objetivos que te hacen perder el tiempo en cambiarlos ,sobre todo si vas en grupo .Que dificil es fotografiar el bosque un día de sol.Hasta ahora aprovechaba los días nublados para internarme en ellos ,pero cuando es una excursión en grupo y lejos de casa no puedes elegir .

[@aows]

Qué difícil es la fotografía cuando uno va con más gente :) Sería un buen tema del que hablar, aunque por desgracia no tengo soluciones para eso. La mañana que hice este vídeo me pasé unas buenas 4 horas en el bosque en una ruta que normalmente no llevaría más de hora y media. Eso hace muy complicado el ir con alguien más. Esa x10 qué es, una Fuji? Ese zoom y esa apertura parecen idóneos para muchas situatciones, incluyendo bosques. Totalmente de acuerdo en la conveniencia de cámaras así :)

Thank you for this! I’m going in a couple of days and thought of just bringing a mirror less camera and focus on intimate shots. Your video makes me feel like I’m making the right decision!

[@aows]

Nice, have fun over there! It's a beautiful place.

[@eniotneets1895]

Great video Man I love your pictures so much. I am beginnen to like the square format. Greetz from Holland.

[@aows]

Thank you!!! Glad you like them :)

[@Maunsters]

You’re in my neck of the woods! Pun intended :-). Nice images from a place that is very difficult to make them.

[@aows]

Haha, nice woods you got over there! Thank you for watching :)

[@b.m.4624]

I like the BW`s very much, also love the zoom ins of the golden gate-it looks very like analog! Gruss Bernd P:S.: I bought a Fuji GA 645 for my streets and it works very well with HP5!!!

[@aows]

That's awesome, Bernd! That looks like a lovely camera, enjoy!

[@JayMacroPhotos]

I like the music in this video!

[@Noealz]

oh hi Jay : )

[@JayMacroPhotos]

Noealz Photo lol hi

[@aows]

Thanks!

Beautiful video. Very smooth cinematic shots. Did you use a gimbal?

[@aows]

Thank you! Nope, just handheld, a lot of takes, slow motion and some stabilization in post.

[@yuliya3878]

What camera did you use in this video?

[@groovesme]

I remember when Miur woods was totally dead back in the early nineties when I lived in the bay area.

[@aows]

Whoa, hard to believe nowadays. It is crazy over there.

[@groovesme]

@@aows it's crazy everywhere now. In the early 2000s Shanghai had tourists but the Bund was very accessible and day or night you could get a nice spot to take pictures. Now you can't even think about using a tripod or stopping, and forget about getting up to the railing for an unobstructed view of pudong. Even Mt Everest has crazy lines at the summit. Ponder that for a minute and let it really sink in.

[@MrCochise71]

Reserve a spot. Nothing surprises me in CA anymore . 😂 Wonderful video!

[@aows]

Haha, yes, I'd never heard of something like that. It does get very, very crowded. Thank you for watching!

[@acatssoftnose3940]

Your style in photography is similar to mine. Supposing I understand your photographs correctly, it seems like you're trying to capture the aesthetic of a place as well as its spiritual gravity.

[@aows]

To be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing. Sometimes is about that, sometimes is something different. It's about capturing whatever catches my eye :)

[@ryanlio9611]

Watch your gear there.. never leave anything valuables in the car.

[@aows]

Yeah, I heard there are plenty of break ins. I was careful, luckily nothing happened :)
