Brilliant that you added music composed and played by yourself to the Video. Most refressing. Photographs not bad either 🎵📷🤣👍

[@MichaelShainblum]

That image at 4:16 is spectacular! & 4:43!

[@jimwlouavl]

The flute and these photographs cement you in the really chill dude category. Both are excellent.

[@stew8584]

Oh that shot with tall slender trees in the waterfall spray and that one tree centered leaning, gracefully falling, the frame of the two stripped trees either side and then those tips just slightly lost in the spray. Beautiful. Cheers.

[@annvarley9204]

I loved the composition of the waterfall with the log wedged at the bottom at video's end. The heavy water at either side and the indentation of rocks at the top center lent the appearance of a heart. Coeur d'eau.

[@cdesfusa]

Thank you, and wonderful cover of Wayfaring Stranger

[@peterfritzphoto]

Adam - that shot of the spray through the trees with the diagonal light. Gorgeous.

[@christianalmeida1973]

Love the flute song!!!

[@cii1072]

Good examples of how to improvise when the light conditions are too harsh and unfavorable.

[@kristinaschuster6585]

just come home from work, this is the ideal video for relaxing. Music and pictures go so well together. Great job Adam. Big problems in BC with heat and fire, a lot of suffering in Germany because of floods. We should all relax a little and think about our relationship with nature and what is wrong with it. Thank you, Adam.

[@amyverhague1491]

I could listen to that flute and watch that b-roll all day. Great combination!

[@PhotoLighthouse]

When Adam publishes his videos, it gives me great pleasure to watch and listen as well as always learning valuable photography advice.

[@rosalieb7909]

Lovely trees in the mist! I would however, not consider that to be harsh light, but rather a beautiful gift of light!

[@duncanwallace7760]

Those bottom of the waterfall misty shots were amazing!

[@ihidnan]

I just started watching these on my big screen tv. The quality is SO good. It’s like watching Nat Geo. Also I have a Native American style flute that’s been sitting on the shelf for years. I’m going to try and learn how to play it thanks to this channel. 😍

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Great!

[@Tofushoots]

I got an ad 12 seconds into the video. But I got through it like a champion and continued to the end.

[@EddyHerreraCC]

Really needed this! Been struggling with harsh lighting especially when clients want photos in the middle of the day, great video! 🔥

[@ryanbiscobarnes]

I was at those falls last year. Beauty at its best.

[@guykerr8111]

Double inspiration here (and last video). One being photography of course and the other is picking up my flute again. Thanks.

[@jimmyhaha514]

1st class stuff Adam what a great shots wow keep the good pics comen

[@bossofthemoss450]

I love where you live Adam. Sooooo envious. Great flute too. How! Watch out for strangers with Bowie knives 😳😱😱🤕

[@Santamike212]

Beautiful pictures and music, Adam.

[@andycooper4485]

What extraordinary photos of the trees through the waterfall spray.

[@Ginette688]

Beautiful photos. Thank you for the photography instruction. It was very helpful.

[@efferoconsultingabprojects3500]

Man, you are more than a brilliant photographer even when you are in "auto mode". But when you go abstract you are a Megastar. Thank you for the inspiration. It's more needed than you can imagine. / Ha det gött! Björn

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Looking forward to seeing your first album released , “Adam Gibbs, flute for thought”. Thanks for sharing again Adam. Stay safe 😷🇦🇺

[@swissheartydogs]

As poetic and peaceful as the first images of the Thin Red Line, Terrence Malick. Your Heaven is very real and your Photography is inspiring more than ever.

[@garrybrisdion2076]

Fantastic music to support the superb photos 👍👍👍👍

[@elusivelens1744]

Wow! 9:45! What a shot! Patience paid off with that sunset at 15:35.

[@marksollitto8821]

Excellent video Adam. Video is informative and your flute adds a beautifully haunting dimension.

[@robertdavis1255]

Thanks for sharing... Great location & comments. & pics... Cheers from Australia..

[@bradpeck1901]

I think I actually liked the pics at the end the best

[@andy1753]

Great Video and flute/pipe playing

[@hilleviupmanis8687]

Thank you! Beautiful pictures and lovely music :)

[@ronpettitt6184]

Are the barbers open yet in BC? hehehe Asking for a friend.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

It's a privilege to get an early look at this video. Enchanting images! I'm really worried about the long-term effects of this heat wave. Shellfish baking to death!? Yikes. I can imagine the domino effect on sea otters and other life that depend on the shellfish. And what of kelp beds, etc.? I hope there's relief soon.

[@seth.graham]

These bad situations will come and go but in general this is how the world is going to be for the rest of our lives.. random intense weather that changes everything around us overnight. Photographers should devote a lot of attention to documenting their local areas as effectively as possible because the world we grew up in is disappearing.

[@ramonahammerly5040]

Loving the background music

[@snagra71]

I was on the summit of Ha Ling/ Miners peak for sunrise around the days you were around takakkaw falls. I was concerned with the conditions but never have I ever been so wrong. The smoke is what you make of it.

[@norlmerk]

Nice flute playing!

[@darioperizzolo2364]

I could sense your annoyance with the missing focal length between the 23 and 32-64 and felt better knowing it's not just me as an amateur dealing with that frustration. Loved those shots of Takakkaw Falls.

[@10shxf]

Lovely intro and music from you . Great video too 👍

[@dougcarter3202]

Great images as always. The Native American flute compliments your photos.

[@martyd5819]

The burn images @4:00 are stunning.

[@christiansigler7016]

That was the most peaceful intro in recent memory! Great photos as well. 📸👍🏼

[@klausschleicher523]

Great video, even greater images, combined with enchanting music. Thanks, Adam. Here in some parts of Germany, we have massive rainfalls.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

So I heard, very unusual

[@p1pepper]

Enjoying the soundtrack ! The over -dubbing was cool !

[@Salieri1627]

simply stunning those mist shots

[@ricardolafleur1284]

Wow you were in the zone!

[@AdamMatthewsPhotography]

Checked out the full description to see where you got the fantastic music for this video. Thought maybe it was something I could pick up or find on spotify or something... Needless to say I was absolutely floored that you did the music! Incredible work with that, in top of the photography in this video 👏👏👏

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Adam!

[@davebenson1504]

Beautiful intimate waterscapes... beautiful 'pipe' music... thanks for the link...

[@greggorter]

Great instructions on the waterfalls Adam, thank you for the video it helps us old guys to remember this stuff 🥸✌️

[@CharlesMercer]

I love flute music. I was in Sechelt and my brother in law had several of the ones you play. I have ordered one online. And you play beautifully. Keep it going and combine your artistry across the board. Don't listen to tone-deaf people. PS I am in Africa.

[@CharlesMercer]

And don't cut your hair. It's your trademark

[@anvilcloud]

They’re all good, but the first set of the trees in the spray was extra special for me.

[@tjsinva]

Nice tunes! 🎵🎵📯 🥂

[@RobertSpacek]

Fantastic photos and music 👍🏻

[@yuri_f11]

Atmospheric! Shots of the waterfall streams to this original soundtrack resembled the heads of gray-haired Indians

[@keithdraycott]

“A massive log wedged in the bottom”. What would Gavin say ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #fototripper. Awesome video as always, love the music. 👍

[@rskura]

Thank you for the preview! Great video, as always. If things stay on track with COVID, I have a trip planned back to the island in October (from Alberta). Watching your video is getting me really excited for that. Some wonderful images this go round.

[@599miata]

👍👍 Adam.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-AGS]

Very nice…I like the 32mm composition the most. Aqualung - Condor all the way mate! Cheers..

[@jens_voigt]

I'm new to your channel Adam and I'm fscinated right from the start. Your Images are so beautiful and the video fits very well with this calm, lovely music. Thank you

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Jens!

[@jeff8289]

Hi Adam. Your opening B-Roll of the shore with an overlay of the flute really caught the spirit of the Pacific Northwest. I love it. I can't wait for the border to open again in order to take the cameras and explore Vancouver Island. I'm just a short ferry-ride away from Victoria.

[@mitzimckay7934]

Beautiful images and music.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you like it

[@nevillewatkins4997]

Glad you had a good time Adam. I'm probably dating myself, but for some reason I kept thinking of the TV series Kung Fu. When you can take the lens from Gavin's hand it will be time for you to leave. 😂 And a big shout out (as the kids say) To Bri. The king of the B roll. 😀

[@terrygoyan]

Came for the photography, stayed for the flute!

[@DieterHenkel]

Came for the photography, almost left because of the flute. Fortunately you can turn the sound off.

[@thomastuorto9929]

Music= not bad for a garden photographer. Nice scenery.

[@thebeardedphotographer1595]

Thanks for the info on the flute from last weeks video, I purchased one the other day and can’t wait to get it.

[@jimcooke5590]

Brilliant Adam great job on composing and playing of the Native American flute sounded amazingly haunting, and loved the images

[@AdrianRankin]

So tranquil Adam, beautiful images too - I really love the intimate images at the waterfall!

[@lorihutchinson9485]

Really love the flute. Beautiful and unique. Very nice complement to your videos.

[@srg3798]

Ethereal. Both the photos and the flute.

[@rundlerambler6150]

Loved this video and the flute music. Loved the photos from Takakkaw Falls, now I have to go watch one of my favorite movies, Last of the Dogmen. It was filmed around Camore, Banff and at Takakkaw Falls. In the movie there is a cave behind the falls that leads to a valley and a lost Indian tribe, the Dogmen. Your vlog from there and the flute music makes me miss the mountains so much. Last time I was there it was mid June 2017 and too much snow to drive up to the falls. I really liked the blue image of the canyon at Englishman falls. To me this has been one of your better vlogs in some time, not that I didn't like the others. To those that don't like Adam's flute music, wear earplugs.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Gorgeous images! Music fits like a glove 🧤 so many stunning photographs. Love em Adam as always. Keep well my good friend x

[@patrickguilfoyle8884]

I am glad to hear that your creativity may also be expressed by your Indian Flute music which you play. Well Done & they go well with your 0video & images. Continue your great work.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@wimscheenen3535]

Mesmerizing photos accompanied by lovely mesmerizing flute! I’m totally relaxed after watching your video.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@ianbarnes1406]

Would have loved to have seen how you would have photographed a close up of the rock second from the left at the beginning where it has almost symmetrical cascades either side of it

[@tompetersphotography]

I’m not sure where to start buddy, just a massive haul of keepers there. I think the slightly tighter comp I like that the v at the bottom is involved. What a spectacular waterfall though mate

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks Tom!

[@charlenenagel7962]

Absolutely lovely Adam! Loved the music too. You are a man of many talents!

[@brianbeattyphotography]

That one at 4:45 is an awesome image!

[@robertd.skonbladandersson269]

Beautiful photos of the waterfall, and I really love your flute playing!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@crrc250]

The one video that I'd love to hit the 'love' button. Just beautiful.

[@BrianNorthmorePhotography]

Beautiful images all the way through this one Adam. Lots of those wish I had taken that moments.

[@nostaticatall]

Beautiful images, as usual and really nice flute playing. I would actually be very interested in an entire episode focussing on the flute you play. A closer look at it, specifically where it and the style of playing originated from, what it's made of and where, etc. That would be cool.

[@mchjubjub6915]

Great vid as always and a really nice waterfall. As beautiful as the image is, I couldnt help wondering if Gavin gave any feedback on the log in one if the pictures😂 Those pano files must be enormous! Have you made a video about your video/photo editing suite. I'm looking at getting back in video production and would be interested in the "guts" of your system?

[@lauramartin4899]

I absolutely love the music 🎶!!

[@tommy100590]

i want that cap wooow

[@ianhamer4294]

Fantastic images Adam. Luv the location and nice to see Bri again.

[@JeffWalshPhotography]

Love the music.

[@stephaneclaveau9736]

The beach images are spectacular 🙏🏻

[@andypellett3998]

Never mind buying a print, or the book, or the zeen, I'd buy a Record (showing my age -I just couldn't bring myself to write "Download") of your music! Entrancing! Maybe you should offer a download code for the music so one can listen to it whilst taking in the images in the book?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks Andy! That’s a good idea quietlightphotoadventures.com/native-american-flute-music

[@goanheat]

Beautiful images and the lovely flute music.

[@craigallenphotography]

Gavin would have stripped down to his undershorts and climbed down that waterfall and shot it from the base, LOL, LOL. I love that last image of the waterfall, very nice indeed.

[@willemakit48]

Beautiful Shots Adam. Great advice and with photography. Agreed, we must....unfortunately, be adaptable, regardless of what we came to shoot. Listening to your flute makes me want to get involved in the study and practice of zen again. Very relaxing!

[@mawavoy]

Stunning images.

[@richardg6109]

Like the flute music, but in all honesty a little bit goes a long way. Just another opinion.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Great images Adam! Thanks for sharing you tips and knowledge. (BTW) I love the flute music!

[@larrysalaets7088]

Wonderful video with such a calming presentation! Definitely enjoyed your skillful soundtrack, as well.

[@johnmagneeilertsen9566]

Beautiful pictures

[@scottternan105]

Sorry about the Van. Hope it works out. The waterfall mist and tree shots are AWESOME.

[@andyb_23]

Great images Adam.
