Nice to see Caleb getting some air time. Enjoying the vlog style videos.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

You're next for some air time boss.

As landscape photographer who stuck in daily life and family responsibilities , I appreciate every second of this video. I wish I could experience such a place. I enjoyed the trip

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Hey mate. I really feel you! Thank you for supporting the channel. I keep people like yourself in mind every time I’m out there. Hopefully you can get out for an adventure or shoot soon. Take care mate.

[@viviennenoble4035]

Wow what a great day of adventure, discovering new places. Even if there isn't a lot to photograph it's the excitement of seeing what is at the end.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you Viv!

[@seantomlinson3320]

That was lovely. Beautifully done camera work.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers Sean!

[@chriswright6381]

Awesome stuff! One of the best things about landscape photography is exploring new locations and finding new compositions and vistas!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Chris! Hope you are well mate :)

[@woflgangdurst6752]

Fantastic! The colours, clarity and pristine setting. I love the picture you took with the sunstar. Wolfgang

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers Wolfgang!

Beautiful video of beautiful country. Unbelievable. I'm literally a thousand (or three) miles from anything approaching this type of scenery, so it's a fantasy world that I just drink in.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks for the support mate. Makes me appreciate what I have here even more.

[@denisesavage2382]

Oh mate!!!! You can't top that kind of moment and experience. . . .surely. So much to enjoy in that morning. The light, the mist, the calm lake (on the way over to begin with! Hahaha), the colour of the water, the greens, oh those greens . . . . .the sense of human absence and nature in its full raw beauty. That bit especially. Thanks for taking us with you Will. And Caleb too!

[@katemiles6305]

Feeling the stoke in this one, Will! Got me pumped to visit one of my fave rainforest areas in the next couple of days. I 100% agree that just being there and seeing it makes it all worthwhile. The photography just provides the added motivation to get out there.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers Kate. Hope you have a great time out there. Was lovely seeing you recently :) Cheers!

[@traceyanne777]

Wow the colours were amazing.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

It was such a beautiful place!

[@westvirginianlivin9871]

Wow! What an amazingly beautiful place and morning. I'm willing to bet that you go back at some point. Excellent video. Very relaxing.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you!

[@reneepatino7804]

I love these vlogs ❤ thanks for taking us along for the ride 😊

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Gotta get you guys to this spot soon :)

[@johnbentley1056]

Magnificent location. Pity the waterfall wasn't accessible. It reminds me of some of the waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge in Oregon. Absolutely beautiful.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Yeah was a bit of a shame but I love when nature surprises me with something else I could never have imagined. Cheers John!

[@glenclarke1294]

Stunning, inspiring and uplifting. Thanks

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Quality vlog in another stunning Fiordland location. Will, the final frame was just magical, any wonder you were smiling!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

hehe, cheers Colin!!

[@izam2628]

Amazing !!! Loved seeing what’s beyond that mist - thanks for taking the time to film this - I can still adventure from home in beautiful NZ :)

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you Iza! I can still hear your laugh lol

[@scottheppel8847]

Magnificent place. The gorge reminds me of a spot on the North Island where we had to wade over our heads for about 5 meters with Carolyn on our guide’s shoulders and me holding up our gear above the water surface. Beautiful shot of the ferns framing the mist.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Beautiful mate, I can just imagine!

[@janewillis2421]

Magical

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks for joining me on the journey :)

[@desgriangmascho4519]

Just AMAZING

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

thank you!

[@bobhelton5076]

Thanks, Will for sharing this, I really enjoyed it. I know when I go out to find that one shot or gem of a picture, I enjoy the outdoors and a lot of times while looking for that gem, I will come across others that I wasn't expecting. Just being outdoors looking at nature and capturing its beauty is exciting. I think you captured that in this video, Thanks again!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Well said. Thanks Bob!

[@simpletexan]

Thanks will - loved going on the adventure with you!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Always appreciate it Ken!

[@ianbraithwaite9563]

[@danielpedersen6895]

I really envy you to have the beautiful, prehistoric forests of New Zealand as your playground. More videos like this, please! Cheers from Norway!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Dan! Yes, I certainly don’t take it for granted. Cheers mate!

[@alexhitchins450]

Amazing job mate! Walked away with a killer shot!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers mate! :)

[@melissahall7009]

So relaxing to watch. Enjoyed this! 😊

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Mel!

[@johnchambers6272]

Stunning Fiordland forest and river. So true that not every scene is going to result in a image and that it is all about enjoying the moment. But you did end up with a great image, the colours and lighting is beautiful. Such an inspiring video Will, thank you for sharing this one.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Much appreciated John, thank you!

[@stuartbell3666]

Always nice to see a photographer in their happy place, stunning image Will and thanks for continuing to share your journey with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family mate, take care.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Stu, much appreciated mate! Hope you enjoy the holiday season :)

[@kyleboogers123]

absolutely amazing! love these vlog type videos mate

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks for that mate, more on the way soon :)

[@ronaldseher2484]

Will, thank you for the waterfall venture. I truly enjoy your "just talking" about what you are seeing, doing and experiencing, live, as you look for shots and comments about what you do, in real time and effort to get your shots. That info is reassuring as I'm learning "to see" the environment I'm in and the potential captures. These little videos you create are wonderful for an "old" amateur like me. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderfully fulfilling and prosperous New Year. Ron, Plano, TX, USA

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks for the very thoughtful comment and support, Ron! Hope you have a safe and peaceful holiday season mate!

[@gregmartin1615]

You make a really enjoyable video - I felt like I had had a small holiday on the South Island!

[@amsolwalk]

15:10 the shutter is so crisp 🤤

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

lol, the shutter sound??

[@amsolwalk]

Yes

[@teeeenyfifi]

That’s magical! You have the best life haha! Have a top Christmas, you and the wee fam ❤

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers, Fiona! You too

[@gusstanden8957]

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks for the comment :)

[@magicworldbyjorg]

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Thank you very mutch... have a wonderful Christmastime .... see you….

[@Pxxro]

Great video. Which camera do you use?

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Check out the gear video I shared recently :)

[@evodmtshizz]

Hey will, I've been looking at getting the 12-24mm do you rate it over the 16-35? Did you have to focus stack this shot as well?

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

I definitely rate it. The wider the lens, the more creative possibilities. I didn’t even have to stack this. Definitely wish I got the lens sooner.
