Quiet Times PHOTOGRAPHING a magical BEACH

[@4958stanton]

Unbelievable photography

[@juanitakelly3082]

Showing the same image with light and no light was a really good comparison to understand light.

[@williamdavidson1490]

The reflection of the Clouds in the foreground pool at 5:56 looked great, now I'll watch the rest of the vid

[@jerryalt6486]

Excellent photographs Adam.

[@lylestavast7652]

Some nice images there, as always...

[@ibp2007]

Must be serious work. The wellies are on!

[@pattymattes7124]

Yes, I did enjoy this. Thank you!

[@599miata]

Great video Adam.

[@jsimes1]

Oh man that landscape is so other worldly ... the raking light along those pocked boulders is amazing. My wife thinks I'm mental because I want to trade my new-to-me truck for a camper van and sleep by the side of the road and take sunrise photographs! 😆

[@BriBarnhamPhotography]

Need to have myself a good wander around that spot 😁👍

[@johannelaporte8057]

Thanks Adam for the video. I like the comparison of it's all about light..what a difference!

[@ChrisMustermann]

Thanks for this calming video. I am really relaxed now and looking forward to the next photo-session 🙂

[@jimscholz2997]

Awesome... I really enjoy following the F4 gang...

[@roybixby6135]

Great images (as always) Love the texture of the Beach...

[@adamsmith6594]

What an unusual landscape. Not only is this completely unique, the measured approach is so methodical you can literally feel yourself there almost making the same decisions yourself. I love this vlog. Its just amazing how you can instill confidence in any and all terrains Adam. And it was hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

[@adamsmith6594]

@Geoffrey Simpson unique for Adam to be there vlogging.

[@indianwinter]

You talked about doing film photography again a few months ago. I hope you still dive into that again. I don't do film, but I do enjoy watching artist on KZbin that do film photography. Just a few time a year would be perfect.

[@RickMentore]

Even the great ones are baffled from time to time. Wonderful images!

[@indianwinter]

Your post process of images are always well done. I do like the second image done in the morning in raw more then the one processed. But that is just me. I like the contrast of the dark rock. Keep having fun.

[@clairehachey2189]

You take us to the most beautiful and extraordinary places. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. We are grateful for the experience. Cheers from the East Coast of Canada :)

[@blivieriphoto]

What a neat area. A person could spend hours, days, weeks exploring all the little patterns and different comps. And it is all about the light!

[@bjoernsviews]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I can imagine that it's a big effort of setting up everything for filming. And it's sad to miss the best light because of that. But you still got some nice pictures. I usually try to be one hour before sunrise/sunset in the area that I want to photograph. I wouldn't want to get up even earlier for filming. Thank you, that you're are doing that.

[@keithdraycott]

Love the way you show the unedited RAW file before the final image. Thank you for being so open with your immense skill and knowledge. Perfect tempo and atmosphere throughout the video also. Thank you again.

[@tonystevenson6068]

A set of lovely calming images Adam great. Thanks Tony UK

[@PropDusting]

Excellent commentary for the Skillshare promo!

[@davebenson1504]

Visited to Hornby Island in about 1996... a magical place indeed... great to finally catch of glimpse of Karen and the van modifications too... great comparison images at about 3:10... once again I always appreciate seeing the transition from the RAW file to your processed image... I was going "Oh Wow" as you walked out in the early morning... sooo many interesting lines and patterns... I attempted to freeze the video at about 12:37, because I really liked the pano crop without the sun/sky... just the water and rocks.... Thank you!

[@billonthehill9984]

Thanks Adam, this stuff is inspirational, beautiful location once again... The pocked marked beach rocks reminds me of sandstone... The light & shadows on those rocks was like night & day... Side note: My Sunwayfoto GH-Pro II gearhead arrived in ( 2 ) days, it is sitting on the roll top desk & it is beckoning me to put it to work! It will sit atop a leveler which is attached to my ProMediaGear 42mm CF legs... Bill on the Hill... :~)

[@peterebel7899]

What a great place to be there! In my other hobby I sailed around this island - it was a sailing vacation (one of the greatest turns ever) I have to come back for a photo vacation some time. Greetings from Germany!

[@vhobus]

Great video and images! Thanks Adam!

[@ritamoll4347]

Hi Adam, thanks for the video, the pictures are fantastic again. I would love to see how you can sandwiches 2 pictures into one picture 😀

[@abhilashd220]

I was watching your series on Light when this video was uploaded. Talking about light again. Awesome! Wish you did a video on how you handle Autumn photography.

[@paulus0109]

Beautiful place with lots of textures Adam. Looks great for abstracts, that’s why i loved the last photo.

[@darinharker21]

Videos like this one make me want to get out of bed early and go find something to shoot. Thanks Adam.

[@Simon_PieMan]

Great video Adam, beautiful photographs. Reminded me of my afternoon today spent on the shore of Lake Windermere, UK. I’ve been experimenting with manual mode and Liveview on my D810 - mixed results mostly as I didn’t get very good light (too overcast!). Still good to be out in the fresh air though.

[@robertstonephoto]

You had an ocean visitor! At 7:30, a seal raises its head just above the two small rocks half way between you and the left edge of the frame; the again at 9: 20 just to your right!

[@tjsinva]

Nice! 👍 🥂

[@so.cal.sailkat7539]

Nothing but smoke for a 200 mile radius! The Eastern Sierra and high desert have been a bust for the entire summer. Thanks for the pics of the coast. At least someone has some clean air. Using “legacy” Konica-Minolta gear, with some classic Minolta glass. Also using some vintage Russian lenses with interesting results. Thanks for the inspiration

[@darrenmooney8511]

Fantastic video. Love the images. Adam..... 7minutes.52 seconds ... Bottom left of frame.. what is the spurt of water??

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Probably a clam or oyster?

[@tompetersphotography]

Such an interesting place buddy, I can see why it would be hard to find something though. Lovely shots though

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Cheers, Tom!

[@MrSesseLind]

07:50 lower-left corner water spritz

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

Too funny that you'd catch that. Some of the pleasures of exploring at low tides.

[@Alastair6]

Good stuff, Adam. We have a spot with rock formations like that here in Sonoma County, CA. Gerstle Cove in Salt Point State Park. I've gone there before but you have inspired me to go there once more.

[@bossofthemoss450]

It was ‘kinda my fault’…. I stepped on it! Classic 😂👍

[@trevorsneath4665]

Adam, what in your experience is the actual dynamic range of this camera. Just noticing your first morning shot and how much you pulled from the foreground rocks. Cheers.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I believe there is 17 stops of range between hi lights and shadows with the Fuji GFX100? I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong 😉

[@andreasstein421]

Question is: Who long will get his ponytail?^^

[@filmboyben]

Coleman Fold N Go camp stove??? Whatever it is, do you like it? Or is that the fancy Jetboil Genesis 2?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Jetboil. Save your money and get something else

[@samarth9341]

I hope you are well Adam. I was wondering what to watch, just what I needed to kill some time in my isolation time. Seems like Gavin is taking time to learn his new gear. You might want to help him out 🤣

[@RobertTeague]

Do you have the 23mm prime as well? I'm looking to move into the 100S and looking at both the 32-64 and 23mm lenses to start.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I do but don’t use it that often

[@Hirsutechin]

Lovely images and as always your plain raw and processed versions are an education. :-)

[@andrewfindlayphoto]

Is the van upgrade finished now. Maybe in the future you and Thomas can have a race 😉

[@QuietLightPhoto]

No it’s a work in progress

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Are you sure you weren’t on Mars for that shoot ? :-) great formations to play with there with a tide too id say ?

[@roberth9672]

Hey Adam, I've always appreciated the way you walk us through the scene and how you explain your mind set and reasons for the composition. So helpful. And on a side note. If I sent you $40 would you go get a hair cut? I mean for crying out loud man (haha).

[@TheWillRogers]

The only time to cut your hair is when it's so long it complicates turning in your sleep.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Send me $40 and I’ll consider it

[@billonthehill9984]

Now that was funny! Bill on the Hill... :~)

[@davemenard5089]

Let it be - oh let it be 🎵 some day Adam will incorporate the hair into a composition

[@lylestavast7652]

Hey, I'll take the $40 and get the haircut for him by proxy. Deal ?

[@tobyjugg6202]

Wonderful images, given that was a 100% "Uncle Grumpy" vid !! - "I got here late, water is too high/low, filter not strong enough/is too strong, rocks keep moving, clouds are wrong etc etc - Gavin would be well impressed with such moaning. I am worried now that in a few years time photography will turn me into a moaner :( Compositions were very interesting and your mantra of "Its all about the light" is proven in your outstanding images. Be happy in what nature gives you, there is no such thing as perfection.

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

That first photo would be awsome sent to a company that takes files and blows them up to 8 ft tall by whatever. Then you get wall mural and cover suitabe wall. Expensive, definitely.

[@RupeshSingh-gd5cp]

These rocks are triggering my trypophobia😅

[@yokeshs8140]

🥰

[@johnround8311]

So really, it`s all about photoshop.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Not really but I certainly don’t have a problem using it. I take it that you do?

[@chrisjames1924]

He's done the absolute bare minimum. Compared to the dodging and burning some do in the dark room it's nothing.

[@swissheartydogs]

« All about Light », and Composition, and Spirit, and Time, and Patience, and Modesty, and Respect, and technical mastery. What a Masterclass, far beyond Photography.
