Did he just steal my award winning COMPOSITION?

[@JayGrapherTh]

really love the image of the log reaching across the gap

[@blivieriphoto]

Love Englishman River Falls PP! I was kind of kicking myself for not going further down the trail to where you guys were standing. But then i thought, then all my shots would look like yours 🫤. Kind of glad i didnt go there now. 😥. Either or, theres so much there. Would live to see the lower falls with all that water. Thanks Adam!

[@gord_tomlin]

Enjoyable and instructive at the same time. And this location just got added to my bucket list. So many possibilities!

[@davidsorensen9850]

From the account of my kiddo: it’s the first time that I see a photograph with a fallen log, where the log actually adds to the image.

What a beautiful location at your doorstep. Stunning images as usual Brian’s fungi image, beautiful composition, colour and textures. Good ambient light Brian All the best guys for 2024 and look forward to seeing more of your travels next year🎉

I like the last waterfall picture your best one of the day. I like that dark and moody rocks in the background. It looks good to me. Happy holidays to you and your family. Happy holidays to Bri too I liked his mushrooms picture too.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michaelmckeag960]

The jammed log in this instance is an asset to the composition, often not the case. I’m sympathetic to Brian’s fungi distraction. The past three months I’ve become obsessed with fungi. Once I started paying attention they are everywhere in our forest, and irresistible.

[@alanatwood7995]

One of my favorite subjects is waterfalls. Usually find me near one when I'm out. I love the abundance of compositions here. It's a relaxing place when you know there's composition everywhere. I also like the bw shot because it verifies to me that a bw of a waterfall is often times a better way to exhibit your composition. Just an observation.....when I watch Bri's vlog he is always serious, he's always on subject, and he doesn't seem to smile as much. The minute you two get together he turns into a laughing giddy clown. Kind of makes me wonder Just what kind of hooch are you giving him?😂😂 Love the LEE FILTER plug. Great one as always. Gives me some ideas on waterfalls here.

[@vincecicero9631]

Have a great New Year! Enjoy the trip to Antarctica.

[@tonycox6715]

I always enjoy your videos, but I am especially taken with the thought and effort in the presentation of your images. The raw to edited image is very well done and helps illustrate the processing once you leave the field.

Thanks for that!

Beautiful waterfall shots Adam. Waterfalls are an especial favorite of mine. Awesome long exposures! Thanks for all the great instruction and tips this past year. Have a wonderful new year 👍

[@susanmeyer8885]

Beautiful image with the log included. Water movement image is so soothing! I smiled at your tripod review, and it looks interesting. I will never forget how kind you were to me to help with my travel tripod on Deception Island in Antartica. I t was fairly new to me, and that storm that kicked up causing our rapid evacuation back to the ship had me rattled a bit. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you!

[@tomdriftwood3674]

Excellent content as always. I really appreciate the fact that you show the raw image first, so that it is possible to see just how much editing has been done to the photo. Thank you very much for sharing and all the best for the new year.

Glad you enjoy it!

[@scarcesense6449]

Merry Christmas! That black and white of the waterfall is great. I'm always disappointed when I find logs across waterfalls. Clearly I'll have to work harder to incorporate them rather than complaining. I picked up one of these Heipi (pronounced 'happy') tripods after I saw Mads Peter Iversen do a mini review and I'm pretty impressed, although I only have generic $40 tripods to compare it to so my experience is limited. Two things I would add: It has a 3rd option for low angles - the mini tripod/centre column can go in upside down and get you even lower than the fold flat design of the tripods which still limited by the height of the ball head. And that flimsy little clip is a lot stronger than it looks. Mine was a bit loose and I was abusing it screwdrivers and pliers trying to figure out how to tighten it. Turns out you just pull it out and rotate it one notch so it can clamp down even tighter. When I realised how it actually worked I was surprised I hadn't broken it in the process but it survived something it should never have been put through.

[@gjp2930]

Excellent waterfalls picture, Fine-Art 😍😍😍 Merry Christmas, Adam 🎄

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Merry Christmas!

[@DennisBater]

From watching your video I discovered that I was in the same place on Friday. On Sunday I decided to go back to see if I missed any shots. As I crossed the bridge I looked down to see if any other photographers were down there. I noticed this guy crouched down with his arms flailing around. I then looked harder and noticed your trademark pants and hat, you were talking to yourself. I thought best to leave you to finish your conversation and I went back the next day! Nice images! It is also my favorite waterfall to shoot.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Next time just come and say hello

[@mondohand71]

Great vid Adam! Beautiful work. Merry Christmas my friend to you and your loved ones.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you!

[@brianlemke6017]

I’m feeling gratified, Adam. I’ve also done the composition from the east side with the multiple streams falling into the chasm beyond the log. Come to think of it …………… you stole my shot!!!! Aaannnd ……. Hey! I’ve also got the shroom shot that Mr. Barnham made ……. although to be fair mine was while hanging out with you and Alistair by Fairy Lake. I think you guys have been following me around. Merry Christmas. Looking forward to more great photography adventures in 2024.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Brian!

Unfortunately not

[@stephenweltonppc8652]

What a coincidence, I was just looking at a similar composition there yesterday and thinking about how it would look in B&W. Wound up trying to catch the sunrays through the mist instead, (don't ask about the results😒).

The referral part of the tripod link doesn"t link right. Lovely place and photos, thanks for an inspiring year and belated congrats 🍻

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks for that!

[@marcolanciani]

Around minute 08:00, how did you get to the shutter speed range of 1/2 to 1/5. What in the scene made you take this decision and why? I really appreciate how you bring to us your experience from the field to the print. Thank you.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Faster shutter speed had a bit more texture in the water at 1/5th. In the grand scheme of things the difference is not that noticeable but at the time I thought it was. To get a faster shutter speed I raised the iso. Cheers!

On the tripod, i asked the company 3 times if the head would take a Arca Swiss plates; one answer was NO the other 2 might. As they could not answer this simple question, i gave them a pass.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I don't see why it wouldn't. There are a couple of little screws that you would have to remove before for longer plates.

[@composedlight6850]

Thanks for reply, I will consider the tripod again ; less weight to carry is always attractive in my book 😊

[@Xo1ot1]

I really love the contrast between highly detailed dark rocks and the bright blurred water in these kinds of shots.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Me too!

[@johnmclean7852]

It’s not stealing, it’s reinterpretation.

[@alanparkinson549]

There's a strange contradiction espoused by the majority of landscape photographers - they hate patches of white sky but risk life and limb getting to waterfalls to get white water in the shot.
