Yes, Guinness does help with everything.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Always!

[@Alister_Benn]

Love all this intimate photography you're doing. Really great way to escape and not worry about glory light

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Alister!

Nothing like Chinese Sasquatch eggs and boiled piss tea! Love the images of the rock patterns.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

I love this type of photography Adam, some amazing images, thanks for sharing

Have often shoot in harch light in the wood. It have some benefits, you expose for the highlight and get a faster shutter, lower ISO. The funny about white light are when it become lesser exposed, colors start to appear in the highlights. I rarely shoot in cloudy days now, lots of light give drama of light and shadows. So much to play with and gets enough exposures.

Enjoyed your video thanks for posting 👍

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks!

I've heard of women's cycles syncing up over time, but photographer's compositions is certainly a new twist! Nice images. Were those bristlecone pine cones? Didn't know they were in low altitudes. I was in 116 degrees in the Mojave Desert yesterday taking images, so not much sympathy for being hot from me ;-) Safe travels. More please.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

No, I don't believe that we get Bristcones here.

[@philipcooke9457]

Ooohhh.hh The world of closeup photography..... a world of endless subjects and opportunities..... Thank you very much, as always, for your articulate descriptions of your methods. Quiet Learning....

Hi from the Rock of Gibraltar 🇬🇮

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Hello!

[@BriBarnhamPhotography]

Another excellent weekend, great images there mate. 😉👍

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Pal!

[@jazzcats1000]

Went to Gabriola Island recently, nice place for a getaway and interesting photo opportunity. Very first scene I thought hummm it looks like Gabriola!

[@LuigiNespeca]

Very nice Adam, too sad for the writings on the rocks 😞

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Tell me about it

[@LuigiNespeca]

​@@QuietLightPhoto Adam, I mean those horrible engravings on the rocks - the RAW file at 8.18 - I hate when people want to leave a sign in nature, as well as engravings on the trees. That's not your fault, naturally, but such things move my nervous system. I think you did right to show the writings just to remind how bad some people could be. Ciao!

[@kennygo8300]

I really enjoy these "close up" videos. Living in north Texas, it's pretty much what we do if it's not spring or autumn.

[@cgriggsiv]

As always fantastic video Now at time index 18:30 those pattern shots with logs almost look like pangea CG from Cleveland Ohio

[@JPHPhotographs]

What do 'they' say about the summertime blues? Loved the cliff photo! Cheers.

[@hankroarkphoto]

I shot in some harsh light today. Had my Lastolite with me, basically turned the sun into a giant soft box.

[@margaretcopeland5029]

Can I recommend, if you can, get yourselves to the Oregon/California border on the coast? - miles of beaches, headlands. If you go inland you hit the "Land of the Giants" - redwood forests. It is one of my favorite areas to photograph and an easy camping area. Just going south on the Pacific Coast Highway, no matter the season, you're light will change. I think you'd love it. Do not miss the many Oregon breweries - decent stout.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks!

[@blivieriphoto]

Great video Adam!! Loving those patterns. So many rich and interesting subjects. You photographed them beautifully!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you, Barb!

[@martinoberstein8431]

Hallo Adam, thank you ever so much for this video! The patterns, especially those on the logs are awesome, fine edits! Mother nature is painting…

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Martin!

[@jlid1]

Another good video! Always enjoy watching my two favorite photographers work with each other. Very nice images. Just goes to show you that a good photographer can get nice images in any light.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@georgefrench1907]

I continue to admire your minimalist approach to processing. 👍

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks!

[@599miata]

👌👌photos, Adam

[@billonthehill9984]

I can see both you & Brian enjoyed your selves on this shoot, the light & patterns were real nice. How was the tea Brian, lol? Bill...❤

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Haha, yeah, he doesn't drink tea for some reason.

[@TheSun1901]

I thought in one of your episode you said, Brian doesn't believe in zoom lenses, I guess I miss the episode he changed his mind.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

He did except for the 100-400, it is a nice lens for sure

[@StephenBridgett]

Thanks Adam, sometimes simpler is better.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

It certainly is

[@tomaskubalik1952]

I like you and I like Brian.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks!

[@jennifercrouse]

Love the patterns!!!

[@michaelmckeag960]

Perhaps Teredo navalis to thank for the texture in that first log. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_navalis?wprov=sfti1

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Ah thats looks more likely for sure
