Giants in the Mist // Epic Woodland Photography

In this video I explore and photograph the mist filled Redwood forests during the end of the Rhododendron bloom. This was my first trip during the bloom, but it wont be the last.

I really like the direction that you have taken with your videos. A journey where the viewer is immersed in imagery and the story being told without a lot of unnecessary speaking. You have a gift of showcasing our beautiful planet. Great work as always.

[@tadeusz11000]

When only a few words are necessary and the images do the rest of the talking. Brilliant and captivating landscape photo storytelling, Nick.

[@jarettskeffington2052]

The redwoods are an amazing place! I live with them all around me and I can never get enough of their smell and simply in awe of them every time I explore. Norcal for life!

[@TravisRhoads]

Less talking and more about the place.. I dig it.

[@endtimeimages3284]

I like how you showed how the polarizer is changing the image.

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

it is amazing how it can saturate the colors.

[@NickPage]

Its funny how often we talk about why.. but seldom SHOW why

[@RickMentore]

The entire vid. was a thriller! The music, the trip and oh yea, the photography. A thriller I tell ya!

[@PinedaTravel]

Bonito reportaje, enhorabuena.VERY GOOD

[@Am-ug9np]

Love how peaceful this was. Really like the style of storytelling without words and you're the first photographer I've seen pull it off like this. When did you go to the redwoods? I'm hoping to see the flowers in the last week of may

[@lamadrid.photography]

That's actually my girlfriend and I at 5:21 haha. It was great running into you at the Redwoods!!

[@NickPage]

It was good to run into you as well! Pretty cool that you found the video

[@tomasandonie3761]

Hi Nick, I discovered you a few weeks ago and I must admit that I am totally impressed with your work. I am also a photographer (ig: @ andonie13 if you want to see my work) and you are a true inspiration, I just have no words, incredible. Greetings from Chile!

[@NickPage]

Wow thank you Tomas, that means a lot to me. I will check out your ig. I am curious how did you stumble upon me?

[@tomasandonie3761]

@@NickPage Pretty lucky. I was looking at photography on KZbin, and he recommended your video of "Storm light - Landscape photography". I was hallucinating with the shots you took.

[@cloudtowerphotography815]

The opening shot where the viewer has a few seconds to take in the scene with what appear to be regular sized trees and ferns - Then you walk into the frame - Sure made me re evaluate the size of those trees :) Brilliant!!

[@TheMoodyPhotographer]

Oh man !! The b rolls are spectacular, the photos are fantastic, brilliant video, there is a lot of hard work out there !! ✌🏻👏🏻

[@MrGeo961]

Wonderful places and photos in difficult conditions. Well done Nick Page.

[@randybocksnick3750]

NICK-- Very different perspective with out the verbal communication-- I really liked very much! Great idea, Nick. Randy B.

[@NickPage]

Thank you Randy, it’s something I’ve been incorporating more in recent videos. If you haven’t checked out Stormlight, or photographing a supercell yet you might check those out if you like this

[@randybocksnick3750]

NICK-- I did as you suggested and watched Supercell and Storm light! WOW! The SC photos of the Eye of the storm is the Greatest photo of it's kind I've ever seen in my lifetime and NICK I'm 75 yrs old and some photos you took of the Storm light of lightning which included the old farm house and grain elevators! Very little commentary hits it out of Park! Randy B.

[@andyfromtheuk]

What an amazing place! Great video. Your pictures are as always breathtaking 👍

[@NickPage]

Thanks so much Andy!

[@andyfromtheuk]

@@NickPage your videos always inspire me to go out and take photos. And I thank you for that! :)

[@fransantiagophotography]

Nick, se me ha olvidado preguntarte qué filtros utilizas, me lo podrías decir? Gracias de antemano. Un saludo 👋

[@mdturnerinoz]

Great video! But thanks for making me homesick for SFBA (I lived in the San Jose area for just under 30 years (now a Silicon Valley Refugee in Sydney AU))!

[@stevetqp9152]

Simply AWESOME images, Nick! Your time and photographic experience in the Redwood Forest has yielded superb images indeed! I appreciate all the more, because many years back, I took my family on a tour of same, but only had 1 hour...as you know, far less time than truly required! That said, I did come away with one image that I was proud of...a vertical close-up of the majestic trees, taken with a Pentax 16mm (35mm equiv = 24mm, which I learned was not nearly wide enough!.) Thanks again sir, and keep up your inspiring work!

[@grahamallen3941]

Wonderful photos Nick. Love the rhododendrons against those redwoods. Wonderful. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧📸

[@adventuresofjandk]

Love this type of content. As a fellow NW photographer and content creator it gives me some inspiration. I see you use a Sony for photos. What do you use to shoot videos? You ever think of doing a video tutorial? I shoot with a Nikon Z6 and Canon T7i personally. Trying my best to learn all I can to make sure I get the best video quality when filming.

[@mrellis1181]

Hi from the UK! 🇬🇧 👋 Love your videos, I'm just getting started in the photography realm. What brand variable ND filter do you use please? I need one for long exposures, but there are so many to choose from. I'd appreciate a recommendation. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to more videos

[@Gundolf300]

Coming from someone who struggles ALOT with photographing in the woods I would allmost kill for your eye for composition!

[@extremelydave]

I just found you via Thomas "Hit Man" Heaton..... WOW! How you get such vibrant color without going into over saturation is beyond me!! Color me as your newest subscriber!!!

[@SuperSafari6]

Nick thanks for your chanel and teaching us your techniques in how it is done. I see the foliage on this video is ultra sharp. I have been shooting my R5 with 24-105 and foliage looks washed out. I've done it at F8 ISO 100 1/80 on tripode . Do you think it is the lens?

[@1111122234]

Reason being is that looks so much like Trinidad State beach. Anyhow. Cheers from Santa Cruz...LOL

[@donwyates]

I had a feeling I'd like this video by the title & thumbnail. Nick, you did not disappoint! You also reminded me that I need to take my umbrella with me when I leave TX for the PNW. Of course I'll ditch it when I'm in the city, so as not to look like a tourist. I've been looking forward to going back since I left in 96.

[@stevechilvers1322]

Lovely video as always Nick, beautifully shot, great edit, plus some great photo's. What's not to like! Keep up the good work.

[@danasnyder3072]

Thank you again Nick for a wonderful video! You make it look so easy...I really like watching your process and knowing the settings, and music, and Oh! That time lapse with the water pulsing like a living thing!

[@dm32221]

Inspirational video for me. Have kept my travel plans to visit Washington, Oregon and the Redwoods for a 2 week strictly photo adventure. Leaving in 5 days and this video just makes me even more excited. Thank you so much for sharing!! I have learned a great deal from watching your videos.

[@davetodd1478]

Hi Nick fantastic landscape info and very well put across .On your taking of the exposures are you using the camera's self timer or a remote release to prevent any camera movement .I will continue to follow your videos with interest .Thanks Dave Todd, South Africa.

[@carlbuehler3037]

Hello Nick, I’ve just recently been watching some of your videos I haven’t subscribe to your channel yet but thinking of doing so , I’ve been into photography for a lot of years but just never really yet very serious about it as I work a full-time job, but do enjoy it and find it very relaxing. One question though for you worry about having your camera and gear out in the rainy conditions I just have a Nikon D 3500 and I’m worried about having it in any kind of rainy conditions so any advice you could give would be appreciated

[@Basstaic]

Best photography content on KZbin! You are one of us ... if only we were that talented. Thank you for making such quality content and keep the videos coming!

[@volodymyrcuza9994]

Thanks a lot for the beautiful video and photographs! I'm always amazed by the quality of your videos from both technical and artistical perspectives!

[@tompetersphotography]

Great video Nick, then forests look insane! Specially with all that fog. Very interesting coastline aswell very unusual for me to see such greenery up on the cliffs. We don’t get that so much here in the uk

[@caohungrf]

Hello Nick Page! I am a photographer in Vietnam, I really like your videos, the pictures you take are very beautiful

[@jacobspradlin]

Great great great video. I’m from Oregon originally but haven’t lived there for over 15 years. This video took me back. The coastline from Big Sur all the way up the Oregon coast is one of my most favorite places to photograph.

[@dhrubajyotibose6399]

Amazing. Just awesome. Big inspiration.

[@HappyPlaceDiaries]

Stunning photos! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m a budding photographer and it is so cool to look, watch, and learn. Thanks again

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

Great video. Love the quiet exploration. What CP is that that's magnetic? Or are you using magnetic adapters?

[@themoodyphotographer59]

Another great video Nick. I didn't see any reason for any thumbs down, I guess it's either you're competition or jealousy. Lol. All of the images were great. I'm going to have to get up that way sometime, that is some beautiful scenery.

[@themoodyphotographer59]

[@anniebooo]

Thanks Nic, I think that is one of the best videos you have made. The videography is beautiful and the matching music. Hands down, the change in music and mood coming down to the coast. Well done. Best regards, Annie

[@stevewurz5856]

Just another Awesome Nick Page video!! Incredible images.....

[@harsh8426]

One of the things I have started doing with your videos past couple of months is pause as soon as they start...manually set it to 4K ...let it buffer for a couple of seconds..& then click play...awesome work ! loved the photo @3:15 ! I see you were using the CTC ball head...whenever your schedule permits can you please do a review or first hand impressions video of it?...I have ordered the medium ball head with clamp & a 4 series tripod from them..I guess they are yet to start the production ... Would love to hear your thought on it...

[@tomclemons344]

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best videos you have posted. Gorgeous colors and I like the mist. Thanks for sharing. BTW, like that cap!

[@michaelparks1168]

Totally Awesome, thank you for sharing all of these Amazing videos! Very inspirational! Each time I watch one of Your videos I learn better ways to plan shots not only that but how to think in terms of the whole experience taking nothing for granted! Very important!

[@JSRVisions]

I too, also like the direction you have taken with your videos. Excellent place to photograph, I love the redwoods. Great music choice too. Keep up the great work.

[@Cid_Coletti]

I bugs me how good this video was and these images are. I have so much work to do, but thanks for producing these images and videos, they're amazing.

[@515capncrunch]

Redwoods, rhododendrons, ferns and fog…throw in our Northern California, southern Oregon rugged coast, you can’ t convince me there is a more beautiful place on Earth.

[@elmachomen]

Great video Nick! I love this silent videos, they really draw you in, they´re so quiet and peaceful that you almost feel that you´re there. Keep up the good work!

[@NickPage]

Thank you very much! I am enjoying this direction as well.

[@darrinyo-mamakimble7002]

That last HDR panno And the time laps are absolutely epic, nice work. This really makes me want to pop over to Long Beach and see what I can find.

[@jrlong3490]

Your videos are better when you don't talk. Ha ha :) No, really enjoy your creative style. Thanks for sharing and teaching.

[@markwhitley40]

Nick, this video is stunning, I keep coming back to it. Breathtaking images and so relaxing to watch. Quality content.

[@jeffstephens5266]

Can only repeat what others are saying. Great video and photos. I’m liking the way you let the images speak for themselves. Superb.

[@edlazor6698]

Hey Nick! Which magnetic lens filter and adapter are you using? I'm getting tired of wasting time screwing filters on and off... Wondering if those magnetic filter adapters are worth it.

[@kunaltewari8059]

Stunning. Absolutely stunning set of pics here. So moody vibes. Brings out the rich tones from the woodland.

[@GudmannAndGyda]

I dig this style. Not that I don´t like you talking :-)

[@DavidSmith-pd6qy]

Great video Nick some super images, we have nothing like the redwoods in the UK but if you are every over here in the county where I live, Sussex we have fantastic rhododendron bushes which are massive in size. Great work

[@jedman322]

Dam dude! I just found you.....and I ain't leaving , no endless specs and opinions, , just shut up and shoot! , top job my man👍

[@kawiemer]

Love the wet, saturated look only the weather (and polarizer) bring to these images. Great job.

[@ianpalmer186]

Awesome images Nick. The HDR at the coast is beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏

we have giant rhodo's in our forest, just look at my Instagram / sloppopyeah so I love, love, love this video!!

[@schwab21121]

Excellent shots..I think it is really incredible how you can capture so many great compositions in one location. Thank you for the post.

[@alpinewonders]

I like this new direction too. But don`t stop your podcasts or your solo presentations in-studio. Those are very watchable too

[@casco3683]

I learn so much from your video.. thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge 🙏

[@AdventuringWithNala]

Savage with the Atlas rain cover and the shimoda bag!! Haha just kidding man. Great video and pics as per usual.

[@NickPage]

Lol I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on that :-)

[@gregwarson3483]

Inspiring and gorgeous Nick; you show us how to find awesome beauty in simple settings. Watching you slipping on the trail going to the sunset location made me wonder how you got back safely in the dark after sunset. Would like to see a session on those Kase filters.

[@StephenMilner]

Awesome video Nick. Love the compositions in the redwoods and the production value at the sea stacks.

Te sigo desde hace poco, te he descubierto de casualidad y quiero decirte que me encantan tus vídeos, excelente trabajo 👌

Thanks for showing me How small I am in front of this vast and evergrowing nature 😌

[@tonicanabate6232]

I always enjoy the powerful music 5:22 you play in your videos Nick

excellent !!!! Loved the silent tutorial of using a polariser and showing it as you saw it - brilliant.

[@jondrafilms]

Realy nice video, but little bit boring. (Becuse it is long) Good job

[@NickPage]

Thanks, I’m always shooting for boring

[@jungsomewhat]

Beauty that makes you hurt, Professionalism that makes you feel better about life...

[@kaczynski2333]

Lovely images. However, a bunch of people in the same spot is pretty close to my idea of hell.

[@AndyNoblePhotography]

Wow! Those red woods are something else 😍 great video Nick 👏🏻

[@bitcoin.easytofollowinfofo269]

I am from Scotland or as its called Haggis Land, we allegedly have beautiful country but the country in this video is AMAZING… May I ask is it Canada?

[@MichalOlender]

Always magic!

[@edmulrean1618]

Nicely done. The first 2/3 of the video wonderfully captures the unique quite of a walk thru Redwood giants. It always feels like being in the forest primeval with a dinosaur waiting around the next bend in the trail. Great images and a helpful view of your "process." Was this Avenue of the Giants in Nor-Cal? Thanks. Just subscribed.

[@NickPage]

Thanks for the kind words and for the subscribe! This was a bit further north closer to Oregon

[@jimwlouavl]

Great photos showing all of the different greens in nature during spring. Thanks.

[@LewisCarlyle]

Less face. More place. I dig it. So sick of the "GoPro-aimed-at-face" with incessant talking that so many landscape photo channels have adopted. This is a great change of pace. Keep up the good work.

[@NickPage]

I like the sound of that! Let’s face more place is exactly what I am after

[@markstewart9362]

Fantastic video nick I’m headed this way this weekend/next week and this is the ultimate pre stoke!

[@TomGrubbe]

You need a shower cap for your camera.

[@NickPage]

naw.. its totally fine, its been through far worse and rain covers are a pain

[@stevecookphotography]

Totally mesmerized by this vid. Awesome, awesome work.

[@speterlewis]

You have a wonderful narration voice, Nick, but gosh, the quiet was just extra special. And the music was excellent, very cinematic. Well done!

[@NickPage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amaitra]

Listing the focal lengths would be very helpful!

[@00_Ryan_00]

7:00 totally thumbs down because you started talking. LOL...Just messing. It takes a special account to go the first 7 minutes of a Vlog telling a moving pictures story. Not all Vloggers can pull it off, but you're one of the exceptions. I follow about 100+ "landscape" vloggers, and I know of one other that does it well, but most are probably not at a maturity level to pull it off. I love these kinds of vids Nick. Outstanding work!
