CHEST WADERS are hip! Photographing the Canadian Rockies in AUTUMN Colour

[@jonathanwu9079]

Loving this series of the Canadian Rockies.

[@MrPhotog4u]

If you grew up on film you learn quick to capture it all in your camera, the discipline of not being able to see the image makes you pay attention to detail. Awesome captures and a great location. Thank you for sharing.

[@aliciatangotweety4815]

Best series you've done! Best advice for anyone at 12:30 "use good technique, good light, composition" . I know you've suggested jpgs for beginners or for people who shoot only for social media in the past. "

[@Mrbluesplayer43]

Wow, that first image is just sublime. That can't not end up on your wall (and many others no doubt). I guess conditions (and light) don't often happen like that, so no wonder you guys just stuck around there and hardly moved. What a gift. The waders looked like a dam good investment.

[@lindahenderson2113]

Thank you, Adam! I love the beautiful photographs and appreciate the composition instructions. I’m also glad that you have not shared your location so that it might remain beautiful and not “over-run” with other aspiring photographers.

[@malcolmpierce825]

Thanks for seeing!

[@kevinhogan5141]

Adam gibbs = photography man crush. Stupendous work as always..

[@lindefraser9148]

I could get lost in the beauty of the aspen and blue water.

[@David_Glazebrook]

The 9 minute mark must be the magic number. Your last vid and now this vid at 9.08 really brings the goodies out for show and tell :)

[@sookephotographyadventures]

Wonderful photography, as always, Adam. I like how you took the time to go and get waders when a situation presented itself that you may not have foreseen, rather than just making due with what you had and not getting the shot. Great vision!

[@martinnightingale6033]

What a gorgeous place . So much beauty all around . I think I would be spoiled for choice .

[@chandrankallarakal7811]

The turquoise blue waters immersed me in to the beauty of Canadian yellow autumn.

[@billybraithwaite67]

Stunning part of the world...your photos certainly did it justice. So happy you’ve enough footage for another few videos from here 👍

[@MichaelShainblum]

This looks so damn fun! Awesome images man!

[@bachmannmanuel1562]

Love my chest waders for photograph nature as well, cheap and very usefull. I use it most of the time in the little creeks that i love to shoot.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Some beautiful still photos you're getting there!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Mads!

[@eo7770]

Thanks for the good and nice photographs, you went through so much trouble just to bring us these unforgettable photos.

[@vargavideo]

I always enjoy your drone intros. I always learn something in your vids. Thank you.

[@ianfaris2810]

This is definitely a marvelous collection of images Mr. Gibbs. I like your suggestion of shooting both RAW and JPEGs. I have been doing this for sometime now. I find I often just want a smaller file size to quickly email to someone or post on Facebook. The JPEGs fit the bill. For these I'll quickly straighten, crop, tweak the contrast and saturation (if necessary) and Presto they're out the door. And then later for the few really "good" ones (it's all relative) I'll postprocess the RAW file in Lightroom, using the tips I've picked up from your vids. Best of both worlds. Thank you.

[@davidposaas7350]

Such mesmerizing beauty! Loved your Canadian Rockies Autumn series so far!

[@williamcharlesworth4617]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful images from the Canadian Rockies. The compositions are brilliant, but simple.

[@SD_Alias]

Good decision to get the waders. I use my neoprene waders for fishing in the wintertime in the baltic sea and for taking photographs too. Great part of equipment that is always in my car…

[@wendingourway]

Amazing yellows and ambers...can't go too wrong with Canadian Tire...sure do miss BC having lived in the Lower Mainland for five years...relatively new subscriber and certainly am enjoying your content...a big hello from Nova Scotia where I'm rediscovering areas close to home during these crazy times...take care and have a great week...

[@GlenDomulevicz]

This Canadian Rockies series has to be a another high point in your photographic adventures. For me it rates up there with your ascent into the Rockies in winter where you captured snowfall at its finest. With this series, it seems to be one that just keeps on giving. Just being there must be a powerful experience. And as always, your aerial scenes are always appreciated and I know it does take a big effort. And, I like the transition from RAW to processed. It just works, the reveal. And I understand your comments on JPGs, it can work as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@IanSmithFotografi]

The image with the branch up under the surface is excellent... they are all magnificent but that one breaks the pattern.. the location is second to none and you certainly enjoyed yourselves there...

[@morbly]

I’ve been taking landscape pictures for about 10 years and I don’t think I would have noticed those lighter areas you cloned out (if it were my shot) until I got home and wouldn’t have had a chance to try getting that right in camera. I’m kind of ADDish and slowing down to inspect the back of the camera especially with a 3 inch screen is often something I don’t do enough of. Anyway, these Canadian Rockies pictures are all stunning! Thanks for sharing them.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Breakfast in a comfortable chair while watching beautiful photos of the Canadian Rockies. What’s not to like!?

[@josephmurad1134]

Hi Adam. Beautiful images. I loved the colors of the leaves and especially of the water.

[@SteveP_2426]

Great scenery and shots Adam just risk is the hip waders encourage you to push your luck with the depth of water you go through. Have to be careful you know what the ground is like where you are putting your feet down.

[@antonioino-ramos3654]

Fantastic series. I really enjoy your photography and your advice. I am enormously grateful. Thanks Adam.

[@jasonclemmons8213]

Visually your videos are as good as anyone’s on KZbin! Well done!

[@jimgraves4197]

This series shows the benefit that studying compositions gives us. Beautiful images Adam.

[@davidthompsoncountry9550]

So beautiful! We had an amazing autumn this year. #DTCountry

[@nigelmorley8092]

Ah ha! The infamous wader series begins ! As a fisherman my only recommendation Adam is make sure the water never comes over the top or you'll be about three times heavier ! It's why you must NEVER wear them in a boat/canoe because if you fall overboard you'll weigh a ton and go straight to the bottom !!! On a more positive note, I'm thinking you're just taking the mickey now with so many stunning compositions :-) :-)

[@TimberGeek]

Wool pants are really good under waders.

[@ElusiveFrame]

Just get a cabin and stay there. I'll never get tired of watching you in that beautiful place.

[@susanfirth2279]

Yay, more videos from the series. Loving this series.

[@thomasphillips5850]

Great stuff as usual Adam, that last shot the jpeg , fantastic. As always thank you

[@FelixJorgenfelt]

Great comment on jpeg vs raw! That which is best on paper might not be best for you if the doesn't align with your intentions. 👍🏻

[@davidscottblacksmith]

Thank you for standing up for the much underrated Jpeg. I love my fuji jpeg files. Rarely, if ever do I wish for the extra data of a raw file.

[@laurelb8372]

Incredibly beautiful images, good idea with the waders

[@ralfkrahe2493]

I can only repeat what I said last week, spectacular! The opening sequence between the aspens was breathtaking. Smart move on the waders ...

[@tomfoord8860]

Adam, I thought the photos in this video were especially beautiful. You've clearly learned how to access and share this "Garden of Eden" around us, if only we could see it.

[@darrenbooker9438]

Great video Adam, fantastic autumn colour. When I first saw the RAW image at 14.45 I have to say my eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat, but when I saw your edited version, my heart sank. I loved the fantastic colour and the use of negative space, almost an image of tranquility (long exposure of water) and chaos (leaves and branches) combined. But, that is the beauty of a digital negative, you are not locked into one specific finished image. BTW I received your book and it is fantastic, well done mate!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Awesome thanks for picking up a copy Darren!

[@JayGrapherBKK]

amazing photos in this video and great tip about good technique - and not to think about fixing everything in post processing. really happy to see theres more videos of this location in the future, looking forward to it

[@debrareither4682]

What's not to like. Love all of your photos & video. 😍

[@ahmonon4352]

With those mind blowing pictures, the calm music was so perfect. It was so relaxing to watch 😍😍😍

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markjacksonphotos]

Great to see your work, lovely images looking forward to your next one.👍🙂

[@dannynash5713]

Beautiful images Adam and really enjoyed the way you worked the compositions and shared the information. Really good point on using jpegs! ✊

[@larrycitra300]

Yes, they are called chest waders ... glad to see you finally went to town!

[@keithsandercock1412]

I was wondering if someone would point out that what Adam is wearing are not hip waders. Hip waders come in pairs, like "wellies".

[@jonathansasin1276]

Hi yes great video again what more can i say beautiful pictures brings back memories my waders always sprung a leek

[@martinwozenilek485]

Well, this fantastic landscapes and vast amount of nature is one more reason to emigrate to Canada 🤩

[@rogerapplegatephotography5500]

Adam - as always, FANTASTIC!

[@beatfarmerfan]

Wow Adam, the trees and the tint of the water came together perfectly! Great shots!

[@itakephotos1141]

Totally agree with you regarding the jpeg/raw comment.

[@LuigiNespeca]

You're the number one, I love how you approach landscape, it's a philosophy of living more than photography. Come to Italy sometimes, we got such wild mountains. bye, ciao!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Maybe one day!

[@LuigiNespeca]

@@QuietLightPhoto give a call that day!

[@howardrankin7119]

Another lovely video, so well paced. The cloned shot particularly beautiful

[@astralbody]

Every time I put on my wellies for a hike rather than my hiking boots. I always think about, "Adam, you have the right idea." I've been wondering about going hip, just haven't had a reason totally, least not yet. :) This forest/area is gobsmacking! The water colour is perfect for those pastel themes....the white bark, yellow leaves, on and on and on... I must say the burning orange canopy photo is spectacular!

[@mikeday8470]

I absolutely adore shooting Aspen trees and really am disheartened that I didn't make it out to Colorado this year. Thanks for this series your doing. These are just absolutely gorgeous images. Love the dedication to getting the shot by getting the hip waders as well.

[@honeysucklecat]

I like the line you cloned out

[@cstevenett2779]

Starting to wonder if you missed your calling............ (except I love your images and inspiration.) Maybe you should have been a videographer! The opening drone footage in your "Canadian Rockies" series has been incredible!! Beautiful, just beautiful!!

[@OntarioHikingTrails]

HIP WADERS! that's awesome I am kinda hooked on gear right now and I need something else to buy LOL.

[@brianduthie989]

First class series of videos, just loving it and what an inspiration 👍

[@robertocastro4403]

Great photos as always. That place is quite amazing! I really like the uncropped version of the 60 seconds one, with all the orange foliage on top of the frame...

[@philduch]

Amazing Place ! Thanks for sharing. Great images as well. Peace

[@chrispixl]

Great video and pictures as usual, and so pleased to listen your words about jpeg. I think a good jpeg is much better than a bad editing of a raw file. I work essentialy my photos live on the field, taking care of all the things I want as good as possible : light, compo and subjet. In front of my pc, I just correct level, crop if it's need, and that it, almost. Le bonjour de Bretagne cher Adam.

[@nickbristol3457]

What a great series this is...staying tuned in!

[@johnround8311]

The photo of the trees with orange, reddish and yellow leaves is the best.

[@criostoirocuinn]

Book arrived Friday, delighted with it. Well done & Keep it up

[@ChrisKoehn]

Funny how you mention how nice a jpeg can turn out in this one. As you revealed the RAW files, I liked what was coming straight out of camera. I miss the days of contrast and lower dynamic range, to be honest! I'd rather experience a mood than be able to pore over fine details in every shadow.

[@maryoneill6216]

Stunning series, Adam! I’m mesmerized by the image of the turquoise waters with the trees. If I ever came upon a scene like that, I’d find it really hard to tear myself away. Thanks for sharing!

[@puck528co]

Absolutely stunning. Epic? Juicy? 😙

[@L.Lyubomirov]

There is no greater reward than capture the perfect moment,insteаd of editing 2 hours in front of the Photoshop !

Woot! More to come!

[@martinfredriksson1544]

I understand why you wanted to stay in that place. So beautiful. Your videos are so very nice and both relaxing and inspiring to watch. The photos are outstanding. I got the impression you were almost tired of the beautiful leaves when you cropped one of the images, almost like you needed to search for more focused images. Thank you so much for the excellent videos and photos!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed

Such a beautiful location. You captured it so well. I hope there is a future book that will include some of these.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I hope so too!

[@davidqueenan]

I found your comment on the last image about JPEG's interesting as it's something I've been doing lately too. I've always shot in RAW format but recently I've been spending more time in the field experimenting with the different Fuji profiles and, as you say, if you have good light the JPEG's are really good and don't need so much tweaking in Lightroom. I can't put my finger on what the difference is but there's just a look to the Fuji film simulations that neither Lightroom and Capture One can quite match.

[@mitzimckay7934]

This quiet light series had been my absolute favorite. Stunning images and fantastic advice. Seems like the best vacation a person could have as well. Love it all!

Wow, Adam, what a fruitful trip this was! Beautiful images. I especially love the one from this video of the aspen trunks where you have the camera facing down at the water on an angle. Gorgeous!

[@penorvoll]

Did like this video very much! And you did get some awesome pictures out of it! :)

Really enjoying the Canadian Rocky series Adam! Thank you for sharing your insight 😃👍🏻 lovely images too. The files coming out of the GFX100 look sublime 🙌🏻

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My pleasure!

[@adamsmith6594]

Really loving this theme Adam. We are so lucky we can see the determination you show for getting the feel and light of this lake and the submerged tree trunks. The colors in raw and just mouth watering and then you subtly lift them to jaq dropping. The water colour with the foliage and the gleaming trunks together is just .... 😍. Obviously many of us watch several landscape photography presenters and take what we can but hardly any include you, like you do. It really is a conversation that you have with the viewer where others take their methods beyond the reach of beginners and I guess the bulk of the viewers. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your techniques and time.

[@roverlandertn]

Just when I thought I had seen the most beautiful images of those trees , you release another video and they just keep getting better and better.

[@agapyearish9982]
