This channel deserves so many more subscribers. Mr Gibbs is a brilliant landscape photographer and has become an excellent teacher, too. I love his photography and am learning from his education. Thank you so much, Mr Gibbs.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks!

[@ludovitkanta5607]

Both cropped and uncropped,breathtaking wonderful photos!Love them both.With the cropped,narrative changes.The tiny leaf on the stone become the center of the picture for me.Beautiful!!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@peterfritzphoto]

I agree, Adam - indeed both images in the first half look better uncropped. That boulder looks like a huge lump of gold.

[@wendynewing8834]

It is lovely to see you back in the forest, your magical land of trees, streams and waterfalls. I prefer the uncropped image in this case. Also, yes there is an image there at 10.59, even though there is lots of sky visible, which is probably what put you off. That cathedral of trees over the river is lovely. The pano at 14.02 is gorgeous. Thanks for a great video.

[@pdarnold481]

I like both, but if I must choose, then the full frame is my favorite. Thank you for taking us on your journeys. It's always enjoyable watching your videos.

[@jamesphillips1478]

I agree with you, I like the full frame version of the waterfall photo. Personally I thought both waterfall photos were nice. It would be a close second for the very first image that you took. Great video as usual. A very beautiful setting!

[@hamsterneckliving]

Also the trees behind at 11:00 look like a cathedral. Gorgeous.

[@InvertedHermit]

I prefer the full frame version, I totally agree, the light hitting the rock is quite pretty and adds to the overall image

[@andyb_23]

Like the full frame version Adam. Your 100% right about the golden light on that foreground rock.

[@lawrencebutlerperks7657]

The full frame is definitely my preferred. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevesomers7366]

Adam, I agree with you on the second composition and prefer the uncropped full frame image. The foreground does add interest and pop to the image. Thanks for your work! Cheers!

[@seabreezeof]

Last image for the win. I see another trip there when you have more fall color .. Lovely area !!! Thanks

[@roberthennessey5702]

Definitely that second water fall, much better light and composition. Thanks Adam

[@michellestewart7494]

Awesome Gents!. ❤🇨🇦❤ I have 2 of your prints proudly displayed in my office.

[@astralbody]

My favorite landscape photography. Waterfalls. I like to use the drone to get perspectives that would otherwise be unsafe or just plain silly to try to get. Beautiful choice where you were in the video. Nice to see Brian in your videos also, landscape can be a bit lonely sometimes and nice to share. Love the 3rd photo!! Great video, Adam! Cheers mate!

[@paulworotny3912]

Hello Adam, so nice to find a Canadian photographer. I like your Canadian content. I also love the outdoors. Your composition ideas are very concise and exquisite. Look forward to checking out your videos. Paul

[@erichstocker8358]

I liked the full frame version of the second shot. I agree with you on the light on area in the background. I would not think 400 or 800 would give any appreciable noise even on the larger sensor. I sure hope you had insurance on that gear!!!!

[@JaypeaFoto]

I agree the second picture is way better and I really like the full shot

[@jean-guyhuot7869]

I do prefer the full frame version for like you said the light on the bolder but also the color in the water just forward of that bolder. Great video👍😉

[@darinharker21]

Thanks Adam. Love learning new ideas on perspective

[@itsjim2875]

Thanks, Adam for another outstanding video. I agree with your 2nd image being more likeable in the full frame version. 08:32

[@larrysalaets7088]

Preferred the full-frame version, but both are nice! One of the benefits of watching your videos is that we get to explore scenic locations without getting our feet wet. Thank you for taking us along!

[@StephenBridgett]

Definitely prefer the full frame version. Thanks Adam

[@larry.mathewson]

Love the full frame version .

[@trout3212001]

Both are great but I like the full framed version. The rock is awesome and the complete view of it adds to the image.

[@peterfritzphoto]

Oooh, that pano is gorgeous!

[@timgrist9649]

Such beautiful tones in these photos. The full frame is my favourite.

[@donaldgould1293]

Thanks Adam, I prefer the second image, nice light on the rock and water at the bottom. First thoughts on first looked as if it has been chopped off the the eye went looking for what was missing. Lovely image & scene.

[@stuartlauchlan7061]

Definitely prefer the full frame shot of the waterfall. The light on the rock really is beautiful.

[@randyschwager84]

Excellent! I prefer the full frame shot!

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I much prefer the full-frame version of that second waterfall photo. The boulder is well-lit, plus the pano cuts it off in an unflattering manner.

[@michaelhull1813]

The light on the rock, and the flow around it make the composition much more complete for me.

[@timjones4594]

Adam is becoming Photo-Gandalf. Beholder of photographic wisdom and enlightenment !

[@kirrimann1]

I think this guy deserves a spot of tea.

[@DamonBowe]

full frame, I like the boulder!

[@scottswanson8666]

Definitely the full frame version, the lighting on the rock really makes it pop a bit rather than dull in the pano

[@oliverdecker1930]

I love your channel, Adam. There is calmness and tranquility in your videos and yet they are inspiring and entertaining. For the creek shot: Definitely the full frame version. Beautiful picture, Adam.

[@billonthehill9984]

I was glad to see you didn't lose your camera in the drink Adam as a certain associate of yours did just that, ( twice ) ouch! Some people never learn I guess, LOL! I'm quite pleased with the performance of the GH Pro II gearhead by Sunwayfoto, my only complaint is the country of origin...Once again, a shout out to those swingout units hinging off the custom made bumper... Bill on the Hill, Vermont, USA... :~)

[@lennartphotography]

Nice waterfall, I like the fullframe photo. Nice shots! 👌

[@tompetersphotography]

Definitely prefer the in cropped image matey👍🏻 really nicely composed with some great reflected light

[@andy_an_outdoors_guy]

like the full frame. I don't really know why - but there it is :)

[@photoadventures]

The stickers on the back of your vehicle are amazing!

[@photoadventures]

"Normal people scare me" :D

[@thomasphillips5850]

Adam great video, I liked the full frame shot. I really like the Panos. Thanks

[@hamsterneckliving]

I like the full frame or second version better. The first felt like it cut off the bottom. Great video and beautiful compositions.

[@davebenson1504]

I can envision your buddy Mr. Hardcastle tumbling down that slippery stream... in regards the pano... I think I too prefer the full frame... regardless I do like how you toned down that bright water splash on the left... bottom of the pano... but just up a wee bit from the bottom on the full frame... Thank you

[@johannelaporte8057]

The original version looks amazing.live the way the light hits the rocks

[@janicev1033]

on the pano vs uncropped. Yes agree also. The uncropped was much better imo. Thanks for the video

[@scdronemedia]

Thank you again Adam for a wonderful video, as ever. Regarding your question of preference, I must admit to liking the full frame version due to the lighting as mentioned but also the water passing each side of the boulder draws the eye better to the cascade behind.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks for sharing!

[@frederickmcdonald6636]

thanks ever so much for sharing this video! loved it....

[@juanitakelly3082]

Team full frame for sure!

[@karynhonor5046]

full frame version :) well done!

[@howardrankin7119]

Definitely prefer the full frame, feels like the rock has breathing space, and there is lovely movement in the water just below the rock

[@zfisher]

That one composition with the shiny rock in the foreground, I'd like to see a vertical comp, cropping out the water on the right side of the image, keeping the entire rock in it

[@Randyfhutchison]

I always look forward to Adam's videos. Being an old school photographer for more than forty years, Adam has really brought the power of cropping to dramatically change the mood & feeling of an image. Thank You!

[@amalieemmynoether992]

Great episode Adam. I prefer both 1st and 2nd images uncropped. By cropping the first to a panno, you lose the most interesting part at the bottom of the image (IMO). I love the glow on the rocks in the foreground in the second. Someone further down in the comments said it looked like gold and I have to agree Lovely panno with vibrant colours for the last image too.

[@PMCN53]

I like both the pano and the full image, they both have great merit! Love shooting waterfalls, but not many here in my part of the world.

[@BriBarnhamPhotography]

Couple of great little locations Adam with images to boot 😊👍

[@stillinthestream]

Full frame for that gorgeous boulder.

[@nickrailer2202]

Full frame more appealing to me as I think the flow of water provides a better balanced image 👍

[@anvilcloud]

Definitely the second waterfall of the three and definitely the full frame version.

[@jimcooke5590]

Brill Adam, yep to me the uncropped version is much better with that large boulder its giving it room to breathe also

[@brianbeattyphotography]

Vancouver Island looks so incredible.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Aye lucky to live here for sure

[@brucemacneil]

Very much enjoy your vids - a nice vicarious way to stand amidst the BC evergreen forest. Thanks for that

[@cathymildenberger4877]

I love the full frame version. The waterfall may be the subject but that rock takes center stage.

[@altrujillo3566]

I like the FF image (uncrossed). That gold colored boulder in the shot makes the image for me.

[@nickbristol3457]

Adam, I prefer the full frame version and also quite like the last image. As always wonderful to watch! Thanks.

[@keluargasederhanagintingmu6660]

Thangkyu forshering good nice my friends 🙏❤️

[@Johnnycbtx]

Full frame for sure. And those leaves fell in just the right place. Drag there weren't any red or orange leaves. And yes, the reflected light is always nice when it presents itself.

[@aureliomarsili3902]

The waterfalls, beautiful but risky places, just a slip and you risk breaking some bones or throwing away thousands of dollars of equipment !!! Thanks for another great video !!!

[@paulus0109]

Defined like the 4x5. The rocks in front looked like gold! Beautiful image, lot’s of dept. good vlog Adam thnx

[@josephstanski5180]

Really nice light Adam = love the quiet forest.

[@ChrisSmith-gf3ge]

Full frame for me!

[@ramonahammerly5040]

Yes, full frame of series of waterfalls

[@honorab6220]

I strongly preferred the full frame shot. I wanted to see the entire boulder and I liked the shapes created by the water at the edge of the frame.

[@skiprope536]

13:57 fantastic image and crop. Natural. No photo stacking, no manipulation and a good pure shot. Real and natural. So hard to get a great image on digital vs film. Back in day we did it on one frame. Great work. I am so tired of manipulated images. Sky’s put in. 5 year exposures. Color manipulation. I could go on and on. The end result is most of the digital images these days look like Elvis paintings on velvet. Love your work. TY for sharing.

[@bradzaruba9686]

I really like the pano at the end and the photos you took while risking bodily injury navigating the rocks and the rushing water.

[@lauramartin4899]

Full frame!

[@philipcooke9457]

Very much prefer the full frame version. The boulder reminds me some how of the head of a fish. Staying full frame allows more foreground and direction for the boulder.

[@arthuraskey1050]

Uncle grumpy is a defo for the full frame image

[@stuartbell3666]

Another great vid Adam and whilst some people would be happy with your first "uninspiring" image I do see your point. To the second image, definitely the uncropped version for me. I love the golden tones of the FG rocks and also the way the water swirls around them at the base of the image. The two maple leaves leading the eye through the image, can't go wrong really!

[@tjsinva]

Nice! Full frame wins. 👍 🥂

[@ulrichpflug2644]

Like the full frame more. It is spacier, more depth. 👍

[@holgerglaab8182]

I definitely like the full frame version much better. Great video again. Thank you, Adam!

[@stew8584]

Those big boulders in the foreground had Goldish patches, which was a good choice with the full frame image. When you got to the last location and you turned away from the falls to the trees I couldn't help but think not often I would use a fish eye but pulling those tall slender trees over the river may have given a tunnel look if the light would behave. But thank once again for your thoughts and how to get something from not as much as you hoped. Cheers.

[@elusivelens1744]

Waders, my friend :) Great shots from a great location.

[@alanatwood7995]

I guess my thought is waterfalls are better in full not as a pano unless you have a unique perspective at lower water level. Just my two cents. Great vlog as always !!!

[@sergey3493]

love the stickers on your van! (:

[@georgefrench1907]

Definitely the full frame version. Besides including the the light on the distant boulder, the full frame includes the convergence of the two streams around the foreground boulder. Nice image.👍

[@swissheartydogs]

Thanks Adams. What about square crop with rock/ship proudly staying in the right corner, water only falling on the left, and leaf above all of this elements war…

[@iwanderphotography]

fabulous location really enjoyed as usual....

[@badger67]

Another lovely video. Full frame on the second shot brought it to life.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

What an absolutely beautiful location! I liked all of your shots. Love all the moss and atmosphere of an ancient forest.

[@LarryManiccia]

Those last two images are just beautiful Adam. I definitely prefer the full frame version over the pano crop on the second one. The pano cuts off the large boulder at the bottom and seems a bit abrupt and does not allow the image to "breathe". Very enjoyable and relaxing vlog this week.

[@thebinpustey6497]

I tend to shoot wider if I’m unsure. I often see things in post that affect how I crop…even if it ends up being an unusual cropped size. I really like that big boulder in the 2nd shot! If you haven’t been, Cold Creek over off Cherry Creek Rd is fantastic to photograph too!

[@jeff8289]

Hi Adam - I hope you and your family is safe in all the flooding. The pictures of Abbotsford show extensive damage. Be safe.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Yep all is good thanks!

[@fallofthe]

I liked both the pano version and the full fame version but I could also see a third interesting perspective by cropping just below the lower maple leaf. Doing so gives the image a totally different mood or feeling and completely changes how the eye travels around the image... the crop tool is soooo powerful...

[@ToddHiggins]

I much prefer the full frame version. The light and color on the boulder are fantastic. I think the pano feels "cut off" at the bottom. Beautiful shot!

[@johncarnahan4067]

Hi Adam great location and excellent photos I thought the uncropped one was the better keep up the good work

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks 👍

[@malcolmbenn1051]

Both crops are good but between the two I'd lean towards the full frame. That said there is another option and that is the full frame cropped up to just below that large rock, it eliminates the dead portion of the image and makes everything else a bit larger.
