Kayak And Hike To Hidden Waterfall | New Zealand Landscape

[@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 :)

[@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!

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

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

You're next for some air time boss.

[@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!

[@lphilpot01]

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!

[@aassra]

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.

That was lovely. Beautifully done camera work.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers Sean!

[@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!

[@davidmaltby2065]

Will, what a stunning location and your image with the ferns framing was brilliant. Enjoyed!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

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!

[@rosssayer6524]

Just brilliant, what an amazing place, thanks Will for sharing that with us. Nature at its best. Have a wonderful Christmas and a great 2023, looking forward to seeing more from you in the New Year.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you Ross! Always appreciate the support mate. Cheers :)

[@gusstanden8957]

Mate, great video

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Gus!

[@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!

[@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!

[@gregmartin1615]

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

[@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!

[@magicworldbyjorg]

.a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@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.
