Extreme Long Exposure Photography

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Awesome video . The last shot was a peach

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks mate. Always means a lot coming from you.

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

First Man Photography you are a true gent .One person on KZbin I’d wholeheartedly say is true to the craft of photography 👍

[@andychattaway5620]

No Paul. I'm sure they'er Elms.

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Andy Chattaway 😂😂😂😃👍🤪

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

It’s man love for sure lol

[@_JD80]

This is the calmest video I think I’ve ever watched on KZbin

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Josh.

[@FabioAneto]

@@Firstmanphotography I totally agree with Josh. Just woke up, watched your video, and it was so calm. I totally could feel the same feelings you had that morning. Because I know them very well. Early morning, magic hour light, in the middle of nowhere, just capturing the beauty of nature.

[@midhunterx]

Whoa... Him talking throughout the video was extremely calming and relaxing. This is better than all the ASMR videos out there combined.

[@milohale49]

Those cinematics are honestly incredible

[@ByronEinhorn]

Your voice is so soft and mellow - it's so soothing; like a warm cup of tea on a cold day.

[@UFGator1972]

That long exposure image is beyond beautiful!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks buddy. Really appreciate it.

[@carlosvanvegas]

First time I heard the words buttery and smooth in photography, but now I've heard creamy and delicious, there's another t-shirt waiting to be written...

[@Firstmanphotography]

Ha. That seems like a good idea.

[@glo911902]

I found this photo a few hours ago, and I've watched it a couple of times since then. I love skies like this and videos like. So calm but also inspirational for me. I love landscape photography, and watching this video for the first time, I cried out of happiness because I saw something so beautiful. I wrote a letter to my dear friend on my later viewings. I told them how much they meant to me and how my dream photo is of them. I don't believe I would have wrote that letter the way I did without stumbling on to your channel. So, thank you so very much. I mean that with my heart and soul behind those words, thank you.

[@ThomasPetzwinkler]

Fantastic as usual! I love the creamy smooth water as well. Nothing better!

[@slope1957]

Not only a stunning morning, Adam, but a stunning location. And a great video.

[@nsphotography4590]

Real emotion in this video, big fan of your videos but this nails all the feels.

[@Seanog1231]

Don't often like long exposures but that island image was something special. Makes the island looks likes its floating.

[@jimhamilton8775]

Fantastic video Adam. Great images especially the last one. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.

[@bboyaspez]

Fantastic video, great to see your joy at being out at the first location with such great calm conditions.

[@robgbsn]

Fantastic Video and beautiful photographs as always. A pleasure to watch you are always so humble and real.

[@peternicholson26]

Great watch as always mate. That last shot looked a beauty

[@nutria1989]

Great video, it really comes through how much you love what you do and how much you feel in harmony with your surroundings when you work

[@joewaun894]

Only the best photos make me feel something like your shots did. Just wow

[@bpatterson1972]

I always like your positivity Adam. Beautiful landscape and amazing shoots. Thanks

[@davidw.r.7801]

Beautiful images. Have been watching your videos for quite some time, always able to take away some great tips for better photography.

[@Twa-Dags]

Cracking images, Adam, especially the long exposure. Good that you found time to touch on the immense value that just being out in all that beauty has on mental well-being, the lakes, especially the high fells, are my mental reset, the sense of personal calm, even in the wildest weather, is incredible. And coming home with even one half decent image just ices the cake!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Yeah I agree. There's is something extremely satisfying coming back down from a mountain knowing you have achieved something most others haven't today.

[@colinmair2576]

Superb photos and some more ideas when I am back down that way again... love your channel...

[@scrumpyhead2000]

Love that last image. One image like that makes the whole trip worthwhile. Nice one Adam.

[@michaelmano7261]

This guy always makes me feel amazing. His timing of music and scenery is awesome.

[@alanminshall1824]

Could't help but smile at your reaction to your long expose. So glad it's not just me that does this.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Ha. Do you say it out loud? I often wonder what people must think if they saw me.

[@alanminshall1824]

@@Firstmanphotography Yes I do. I have had people come up and ask what I'm doing, so I'm only to willing to show them. When you plan for something and it works it gives you a good feeling, sharing that makes it even better. As you say in your video sometimes it's just about being out. Keep up the excellent work, looking forward to the next one already.

[@dennycarroll1314]

Awesome video,subscribed and can't wait for more,those shots were inspiring for me to try and better myself

[@MrPotts44]

Great video again Adam, and your shots were simply stunning especially the longest exposure one! Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@ianlivermore2981]

Both shots Adam absolutely stunning

[@david_potvin15]

Thank you for putting into words how I feel every time I set out to shoot landscapes. I often fail to elaborate how I feel, or better yet how photography makes me feel. Happy to subscribe.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks David. Really glad you subscribed. I appreciate you watching.

[@craigrdunlop]

Fantastic last shot Adam, I hope you have a Good new year.

[@daisei-iketani]

Thank you for this post. I appreciate it very much when you take the time to explain your focal length, exposure, ISO, etc. it helps me visualize what settings to use when shooting shots here in Japan. Thank you!!

[@paulbell9957]

Beautiful work mate. Great watch 👍👍

[@papawithgaming]

Great image awesome video Adam hopefully see more like these they are great. I do alot of event photography and wanted to get into more landscape i love nature and what we can capture. Cheers from all the way from Canada!!!

[@IanWilkinson]

Cracking long exposure Adam. Well worth the wait!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Ian. Glad you like it.

[@TheMrGeek]

Love how passionate you are!

[@stillinthestream]

Hi Adam, I've just started watching your channel, and love the authenticity of your enthusiasm. I completely share your recognition of the power of beautiful settings and nature in general to improve mental and emotional health. It seems to be a common thread with Landscape photographers and I'm sure many of your viewers share it. I don't actually know many photographers in my area that really get it. They might stop between birds to admire the view, but then they are off looking for the next animal. So it is nice to join you on your forays, if only virtually!

[@ryancease5327]

Kickass Video man! You make me wanna wake up early now aaaaaaaaaaaahhh! Keep it up! Woot woot!

[@xCodeh]

I love these videos please keep them up!!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks. Really appreciate that.

[@kk-iy4bw]

Yo what are you doing here

[@BubVisuals]

No way lmao. Cody watches FMP

[@darrellwilliamsphotography5598]

Great vlog and images Adam. That long exposure is absolute magic. 9 minutes well spent!

[@Ramblingdads]

Great one Adam!! 👍🏻📸🎬🎥🎞👏🏻

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks buddy

[@robertdemint5750]

Adam, your passion for the beauty of this world is refreshing. And thank you so much for bringing us along. And thanks for helping the rest of us in learning proper technique and the skill set to possibly get as amazing shots as you bring home. But i must say i am a bit jealous of the amazing landscapes you have to shoot. It makes my home area a bit blah lol.

[@nicksimpson8114]

Wonderful stuff Adam, classic Lake District shots as you say but with your expertise attached. Outstanding. Just wanted to touch on the well being you mention and I love to hear you mention it, I'm in a long term struggle with depression and no other time comes close to the peace I feel when I am out and about in the countryside with my camera and boots. Your channel has been and will continue to be a great source of motivation for me not just for skills that you share with us but the locations as well. As I live up north an'all, the places you showcase around here really do make special visits and never once have I been disappointed with a place you've shot & vlogged. Please keep up your truly beautiful work here and keep banging on about well-being too, its not just the physical side that it helps either, it's mentally stimulating and a good walk and photography can make such a huge positive change to my mindset for a whole week. I'm sure there will be others that will agree that you help more than you know.

[@terryclair2914]

Excellent Adam, such a great image!

[@gapwedge11]

Your enthusiasm is contagious Adam! I thought a 5-6 min exposure was long...wow! Beautiful results. Cheers from across the pond.

[@Marhiao]

Last picture is perfect. Love it !

[@pradkphotography]

The last image was really awesome. Thanks Adam once again for this beautiful video

[@tomslittlecorner]

here it is -12, full winter...and looking on this wish me back to the autum time, yeah summer and also spring:) great video! Really enjoyed this:)

[@derekosborn]

You, your video truly expressed the tranquility of the scene. So important in this day and age.

[@50Acres]

Great shots! I'm always impressed with your ability to find a great composition. And good job with the exercise. I always feel my best about everything when I ride my bike regularly.

[@marcelzwart3527]

Great video Adam, getting up early isn't my cup of tea either. But if you want to get great photos sometimes you must ☺ The image at the end is absolutely stunning. Have a great weekend!

[@gamernick1533]

Getting out into the Lake District with a good walk really feels like a spiritual experience. You look like you struggle to put it into words in the middle of the video there and I have the same issue when I talk to my students about getting out into the countryside. I've travelled all over the world and been blessed to experience a lot of things but the feeling of getting to one of the magical locations after a good walk just fills me with life and I can recall those scenes with my own sense of perfect clarity. Love it.

[@nickmacleod5197]

That final image is absolutely stunning. The lakes are a beautiful place to photograph. I must go back again myself. I also find photography is an amazing way to get fitter and be at one with nature. It's good to have some alone time and put things into perspective.

[@Firstmanphotography]

I absolutely agree.

[@flashhog01]

Great video, it really is terrific to get away from the city and slow everything down.

[@mattdraper9509]

Amazing shots as ever Adam, your photography, words and enthusiasm is inspiring

[@gazdyer2732]

Love your videos Adam and your enthusiasm , the last shot of the island on Derwent water is truly amazing , many thanks

[@markharris5771]

Another great image, you are certainly stock piling these awesome shots! Well done Adam, as I say no one deserves it more than you. A brilliant video yet again.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks mate

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Nice images Adam, I really like the last one, the long exposure worked out great. Looked like a fantastic morning to be out.

[@nicholasumsted2731]

Great video, glad it popped up in my KZbin feed. Keep up the amazing work!👍

[@MrDoodsie56]

Wow! Nine minutes of exposure well spent, Adam. You nailed that gorgeous morning scene. Great video!

[@Twobarpsi]

Excellent photos mate!

[@jimhowarth2707]

Loved the vid Adam, thanks for making my day.

[@Iamz123]

loved this video, man! Subscribed!

[@petrub27]

long exposure is pure ASMR

[@pekkaiphone]

Such a great video! I really like and also agree with you regarding how much positive effect it has to you when you come out and enjoy the nature.

[@alanjones8579]

Well worth the effort that you put in Adam, absolutely beautiful long exposure image....well done

[@Mixedlumps]

Lovely photo and great video!

[@annetate2805]

That oooof was right. Beautiful shot!

[@Morongobill]

Talk about drama! Sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation of that epic long exposure shot at the end, you say the words creamy, then my connection was lost with KZbin....... that shot is what I love about landscape and long exposure photography. New sub and bell ringer, can't wait to look at all your videos!

[@richardsherman3507]

Could agree more with you Adam. Getting out with the camera always grounds me and sets my day up a treat. Great vlog as always.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Richard. Appreciate the comment.

[@pauloamaral668]

Amazing, once again !

[@ChrisHunt4497]

Thanks Adam. What a beautiful, wonderful experience that was and the images you took were knockout. You touched on the benefit of photography on mental health and I hope we get to hear more about that. Being out with the camera (on my own) makes me feel million times better.

[@marklong691]

Top work Adam! That 9m exposure is stunning. Definite positive effect of getting out and shooting! Keep it up

[@darrenbooker9438]

Well done Adam, great work mate, I love the 16-stop image!

[@jamesclark1152]

Wonderful, thanks Adam for sharing your thoughts and skill.

[@fababei]

The last picture is really amazing! In fact all of them are like the last one.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Florin. Really appreciate it.

[@derekwillson2538]

Great vlog Adam and what a stinking photo that looonnnggg exposure is, nuff said

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

I am only echoing everyone else Adam, enjoy your videos and your attitude towards life and photography. Your a pleasure to listen to. Regards Brian

[@Firstmanphotography]

This is a great comment to receive Brian. Thanks so much, it means a lot.

[@arbez101]

Nice t-shirts dude! Such a blissful feeling of appreciation you convey about your "right spot-right time" circumstance in this video! I've watched all of your vlogs from day one (I believe), and only now have I made the connection between YOU and the name "First Man Photography", Adam. "Man" ual focus is clever word association too.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the comment and glad you like the t-shirt

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

Wonderful pics & good on you for mentionig the importance of getting out on one's mental health.

[@MrSTAdventures]

As always Adam tops video and fabulous photos. I read the end of video sheet and hey I say go for the new camera, I liken it to a painter looking for a new brush, one that will bring more life to the image they are creating. Thanks for sharing yet another fantastic video 👍👍👍

[@jaishruti]

Beautiful images great location great video.

[@bobswezey7452]

awesome images we enjoyed your video … Merry Christmas to you and your …

[@jeteli74]

Woow. Great video Adam. That last foto...the light between the trees. Stunning...and also see that emotion when you talked about going out and what is does mentally...thanx 👌

[@paula-ur5ix]

Beautiful photos! And I love how calm you are and how excited you are! You can really see that this is your passion and you love this! And that's amazing to see!😍

Beautifull video very professional well worth watching and bloody stunning images.

Oh my world what a calm beautiful video. Awesome man, everything matches, and the songs. If you could link them, I would be really happy : )

[@ashrafiaadib5642]

Even tho I don't have any camera... And never did any photoshoots like that... The video just giving me goosebumps and big smile in my face...

[@DavidMNewbold]

Wow, that final image is gorgeous! :-)

[@robertmyers4390]

Heart warming mate, well done,,,, Bob

[@edward3475]

I've got some of my best photos from trips that I didn't plan, sort of adds a certain degree of excitement to the day if you don't know what to expect - also like the fact that you'll likely end up with some unique shots that haven't been done before.

[@ian_worth]

Cracking set of images there Adam. Have a great new years. All the best mate and look forward to more in 2019

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Ian. Same to you.

[@keithdornin6215]

Excellent advise, thank you so much. I am getting a lot of inspiration from you with each of your videos.

[@davewilliams9568]

Lovely long exposure Adam, you’ll have to forget your filters more often! 👍🏻

[@debbieb9815]

Wow! That makes me want to do a 9 minute exposure! Beautiful!

[@libork5397]

Adam, it can't get better than that ... right ... Well done

[@daverobinson6384]

Wow! Love the final capture! Absolutely stunning!! Makes me want to go there now! What was the app you used? Can’t quite catch the name.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Sorry. Photopills.
