GOBI Desert | A LANDSCAPE Photography Adventure

[@davemenard5089]

Your choice of music and imagery have created a place of awe and worship within me. That feeling of being alone yet connected somehow to everything. A spiritual place indeed. Thank you brother Adam. This is one of my favorites.

[@lordofthelints]

16 minutes of amazing content without stupid sponsorship plugs! That's what KZbin is for in the first place! Thanks for making this jawdropping video Adam!

[@Scooter-K]

Adam, I rarely comment on content however I can't but help myself yet again. You are in your own special class of content creators, In my opinion one of the best I have ever seen. Thank you for making KZbin worthwhile!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Scott! Very much appreciated.

[@pathorne8018]

The textures ... And to know the winds will have reordered much - or even all - of it when you next have the chance to see it again. Yes, magic does exist in this world.

[@Alister_Benn]

Pat Horne oddly, these are mostly static dunes and the water table is really high under them. There is some small scale movement, but the general geography stays the same.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks for the intelligent answer ;-)

[@jarman1970]

I could watch the sequence at the beginning all day long. The photos made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. So soft and quiet. Just having one of those images on my wall would make me feel calm. Thanks again for sharing.

[@dominey]

Great work Adam. Especially appreciated your personal thoughts about spirituality and relationships. The image at 14:30 is stunning.

[@shamcarz]

This is easily one of your best videos Adam. I held my breath everytime you showcased a photo in the clip. What I like about your images are how abstract they are, when you compare it to the other desertscape photos you see everywhere. Also I couldn't agree more that Landscape photography is as much about travel, experiencing new places and culture as much as the output!

[@guyroberts4181]

I like all of your videos but I might be watching this one a number of times, I was sad when it ended. What a location, and your interpretation of it was spot on.

[@GingerPhotographer]

This is why you're International Photographer of the Year.. Kudos.

[@joshtheintern]

Inspiring stuff, the production quality is crazy man love it!

[@joelwolski]

These might be some of my favorite of your photos. And that's saying a lot considering how much I like ALL of your photos.

[@IainHC1]

I've just watched this again and it's still as fresh as the first time I watched it :-)

[@JaniNendl]

Finally! Through all the teasers, we finally got a glimpse into one of the most interesting photography trips here on KZbin! Exquisite images, congrats Adam!

[@David_Glazebrook]

The image sequence starting at 13.50 and onwards is stellar. Congrats on creating such a beautiful selection of work.

[@PeteMiller]

I love the contrasting tones and shapes Adam! Sand Dunes and areas of this ilk are amazing to photograph, as well as ‘experience!’

[@PeterLariviere1]

Wow, Wow, Wow...did I say Wow. Just stunning.

[@gordroberts53]

Hello Adam! I am finally back in Canada, c/w reliable internet and hope to get caught up to previous episodes shortly. Without any doubt, this is the best channel of its kind on YT. Everything: Content, instruction (composition and post), videography, epic drone footage and voice over is simply outstanding. Love your work, thank you so much for sharing. Cheers from BC!

[@jamesmarko1787]

These are beautiful Adam. Looks like there is no location that you can't come away with award winning photos. looking forward to seeing you photograph your home environment again soon.

[@LCSlade]

I loved that b-roll, and the images are spectacular as usual ... I bet you didn't miss the trees. Looking forward to more, and to your edit video. Excellent work! Also, kudos to Karen for her encouragement and her willingness to jump right in with you.

[@justinkellyphotography4396]

Stunning images Adam. I can't help but feel like I'm in a trance as image after image of sand dunes was being shown and I couldn't look away.. I love how you're able to turn something as simple as sand into a photo that I could stare at for hours and would be proud to have on my wall. Great work with the images as well as the story telling in the videos. Always enjoy my time spent on your channel!

[@Alister_Benn]

That sunrise shot at 08:20 is really beautiful!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Yeah, I think you were sleeping in that morning ;-) thanks, man!

[@Alister_Benn]

Yes, I’ll show the time lapse of you arriving after I’d been there a half hour :-)

[@paullee3127]

Once again I really enjoy your pictures. Photo taking is not just shoot but feel, encounter different culture, people and places. Thanks Adam....

[@RichardLefroy]

Holy crap what a place! I've seen dunes, but this is something else! Love your calm contemplative open sequence. Sensational images - must be overwhelming being dropped in to a place so different and with such different photographic opportunities than you're used to.

[@toanthai]

Uncle Grumpy got some soothing voice. Great video and photos!

[@gui4j]

That opening shot @50 secs was ridiculously bananas;). Awesome mr Gibbs , just awesome

[@wicamulia]

The point is not the place , Gobi is just a desert just like others , but ... the photographer is a master of composition .. Really enjoy the video and the images .. beautiful .

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Adam, I always love your vlogs and especially this one. I could hear in your voice how much chilled out you were and relaxed. Your comments and images are always amazing. And I often say I hang on your every word. Personally, for me, your vlogs are stronger and with more content when you are on your own. I thank you for sharing as always and look forward to the next episode of the Gobi Desert...

[@jerryhutchinson2543]

One word....Incredible! Stunning!....OK 2 words....

[@charliepackard5418]

Wonderful abstract, peaceful scenes and your creative imagery is excellent! Thanks...I know that I shall return to watch it again many times.

[@mobimanic]

Pure dead brilliant beautiful images Adam, the shot at 5.11 into the video is stunning the smooth detail, sharp contrast and shading are so well matched

[@cathymildenberger7772]

Beautiful images - but that hand shadow puppet (camel) at the end was superb😁

[@kevindickinson3600]

Really cool- I love the images with the wind blown textures across the dunes....just stunning... Some of them remind me of coral reefs- beautiful abstracts Adam.

[@tonyb2760]

The place has an aura of mystery in the images. Thanks for sharing

[@ungavaproductions]

Absolutely AMAZING ! Adam, even if you think you're not spiritual, you are. To produce such images, your soul talk to your heart through your eyes. Beauty !

[@therapyprints]

Adam, I could look at these abstracts all day. Such a great experience!

[@timknowles3214]

I think it's really cool that you used the 200-500 for landscape.

[@richcower]

Flown over it a few times, loved looking at it from 30,000 feet. It occupies a huge area. Great shots...thanks.

[@valpayne2963]

Wow! Just stunning! The textures and fluidity are beautiful and so different. From almost skin like to herringbone pattern. From delicious curves to sharp contrasts. Fabulous, thank you.

[@spid7223]

Absolutely stunning images Adam. I never thought a dessert would grab me and pull me in like your video has thank you.

[@DiegoMcCartney]

I’ve always dreaming of visiting the Gobi desert Adam. Looked like a wonderful experience and you came away with some lovely images utilizing that long lens. The scale of the dunes and overall area just looked other worldly. Hope to make it there one day myself. Cheers.

[@jefffiles9209]

Your images are beautiful Adam, you can almost reach out and feel the textures. The way you put your vlogs together is just wonderful, haven't seen one I didn't enjoy. Ps fab drone footage.

[@Tingeltangelbob10]

Dear Adam, thank you so much for this video (and all your others)! This was absolutely amazing. The texture and shape of sand dunes is very fascinating. Thank you again!

[@johnsholian4318]

You just keep raising the bar Adam. From the intro to the end, fantastic and mesmerizing images and video. I’m drawn to abstract patterns as well but haven’t used my 200-500mm for that but you can bet I will from now on. Well done and thanks for the inspiration!

[@PPS-UK]

What an absolute treat Adam, I have discovered your channel through discovering Gavins channel. It was a real pleasure watching this video. And I now know where to visit for both inspiration and enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journeys with us 😊

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Hey, thanks for stopping by Ben! yeah all the serious stuff come here, Gavins? well, you know, lol. Cheers!

[@jennifersayers8041]

Your images just make me want to stare at them, they truly are mesmerising. This must have been a most surreal trip for you both, just magic. Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@Snowcatnz2]

Awesome video Adam. Really love the abstract of the dunes, they are so peaceful and calming. Look forward to seeing more next time!!

[@martincutrone5816]

I don't know what to gaze at more, the abstracts or the grand vistas! What a spectacular place, and how beautifully you portrayed it for us. Your talent in composing these videos is wonderful, I look forward to each one of your videos.

[@victor-ferreira]

Absolutely stunning photos!!!! Incredible and gorgeous "paintings"!!!

[@matssandquist9258]

What fantastic photos. I love shapes in different formats and man, here was a lot of them and I was thinking that every photo is actually unique because tomorrow the sand dunes would look in a different way.

[@gregoryhamilton6161]

you are blessed, getting a 200 to 500 in the gobi desert, you are truly blessed

[@IslandFilmMaker]

So vast, amazing, and different than what we see & photograph within North America, especially here at home on the Island. Your images are spectacular (loved the drone footage) and represents the Gobi well. Saying that, with all the places I wish to see, film & photograph in my lifetime, the Gobi would be one of the last on my very long bucket list. Life is full of endless possibilities and I never say never! Thx Adam for sharing your adventures 🍻

[@KGi4]

Great great images Adam, you are truly best photographer of the year ;) love your content :)

[@mibreit-photo]

Fantastic! I was also just in the desert - in Morocco -, but the size of those dunes here is something else... wow

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Michael!

[@mariacyou9265]

Breathtaking vistas, spectacular videography and magnificent photography. Thank you Adam for allowing to view the beauty of our world. I am deeply moved.

[@jillianhorsley5985]

Incredibly beautiful minimal shots Adam, great work.

[@lauragonzales-lgphotograph1004]

Wow, incredible images and beautiful place! Some of those images looked so silky!!

[@aaronhao5660]

I come from China and have been to HuangShan and ZhangYe but not Gobi. Thanks Adam for the amazing video and photography and bringing us new areas.

[@marcusslade9804]

Stirring stuff, Adam, and nothing remotely grumpy here.

[@WanderingSoleTV]

Incredible work Adam! I really enjoyed watching this. Greetings from Squamish!

[@stevebanks484]

Absolutely brilliant Adam. Love dune photography - we have some awesome dunes here in Western Australia, but nothing like the Gobi. Harder to photograph as well as the sand is whiter so contrast is a key element. Really looking forward to your next video for the post-processing side as well. 👍👍

[@joshuafagans7534]

Simply stunning. I really love the dune abstracts and thank you (again) for your amazing content!

[@lynnmilner6310]

What a magical place your photos are just stunning.

[@analog_presencing]

Surrealistic images and drone footage, great choice of music thumbs up!

[@JohnPaul-ii]

The textures on these images were truly amazing Adam, was hard not to reach out to touch the screen. A spectacular place indeed. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing the rest. JP

[@desdaly7981]

Those abstracts are stunningly beautiful!

[@Gee-Wizz]

Nice spot. Kept watching waiting for the surf, in Australia we just call that a beach. LOL.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Beautiful cinematic experience! :D

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Mads!

[@philbraithwaite1316]

I think I'd die of excitement before opening my shutter.....just breathtaking. Planet Earth......not a bad place to be. Looking forward to part two.

[@summitpaul]

Just beautiful images Adam. Great video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@AlexBerger]

Speechless.

[@RickMentore]

Discovering your photography and KZbin channel has been one of the most meaningful things to happen to my photography! Thank ya.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Seriously stunning work Adam!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Michael! much appreciated.

[@johngatley1470]

As always simply magic

[@nigelmorley8092]

Truly beautiful abstract images Adam..I'm totally with you on the positive effects from going somewhere with minimal human impact...I occasionally find it in the Scottish highlands but it's getting tougher . ...makes you realise what vast parts of the now developed planet must have been like just a few hundred years ago.....thanks for the great content

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Nigel!

[@marthamoss2518]

This is all so incredibly beautiful. Plus your thoughtful discussion of photography, and going to new areas...just wonderful.

[@ashvarma2486]

Great video and images Adam. Love the music you use as well. Have been looking forward to this one since you announced it.You should also add Namibia to your bucket list. Many thanks for sharing

[@davidgault1802]

What an amazing place and well presented Adam looking forward to the next one 👌

[@JonGibbsPhotography]

What a superb collection of footage and stills from your China trip in your vlogs so far. Simply a pleasure to view.

[@debrareither4682]

Finally got around to watching this amazing video & the photography & footage is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your adventures. I very much enjoyed.

[@billonthehill9984]

Thanks so much for sharing this Adam... My instant reaction with respect to the aerial drone footage showing the light & shadows & those shapes was, oh my, oh my! Simply stunning abstracts in the Gobi Desert using those long lenses. Nothing not to like here Adam... Thanks again, Bill... :~)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

You can thank Alister for the drones footage, stunning work.

[@gurunath1710]

Fantastic layers and patterns captured. Gorgeous place. Makes me want to plan a long desired trip to Jaisalmer here in India where we too have sand dunes. May not be this massive, but I bet they are beautiful too in the golden light.

[@kyleklip101]

This place looks phenomenal

[@trwhitford65]

------- Astonishing --------

[@jnbsigma]

Fantastic! Your eye for creating order out of the chaos of forests translates well here. Nice work, as always!

[@willitellus]

My God, incredible images Adam! Great captures!

[@Valadhiel76]

Magical dune photos. Love them all ... love all the patterns and the contrast between light and dark. Looking forward to more!

[@andychattaway5620]

Amazing video and stunning photographs of the Gobi - Wow👍

[@jimrookphotos]

Wow, Adam. The textures and shadows are amazing. Watching the shadows appear in your opening time-lapse was great.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I'm pretty sure you went to Mars for these shots. Out of this world!

[@robertwhitemoto]

such beauty... great shots Adam !! also, yes Karen is a blessing, that support it critical!

[@kevinriese2167]

I have patiently been waiting for this video all week....inspirational to say the least. Not having much success organizing anything from the Mongol side in October, so will look at going with you in February. The Dumont and Eureka dunes just don’t hold the mystic anymore. Love the video Adam...well done.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Kevin! Yeah, this part of the world is not an easy place to get in to, hence my going in with Alister and Juanli. Juanli really does an excellent job of organizing and as I said in the video any trip with her is well worth it. Cheers!

[@paulwayman5137]

Great video Adam. Those abstract images are simply stunning. I was going to mention particular ones, and their time locations throughout the video, but there are so many, that i've just given up. I'd really like to see a video of how you've processed some of these in LR. More awards coming your way me thinks.

[@davidrippin9222]

These images are just stunning Adam.

[@jamidavis8043]

Wow! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@tonyutting6508]

Great pics and a nice serene pace of delivery.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks all for the great comments, always appreciated. Be sure to check out Alisters video with all of the drone footage, images and music over on his channel here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYu9lKmJqKZqacU

[@brianmurphy7962]

Wonderful video, great images. Adam, you are truly gifted.
