Spring Greens in an OLD GROWTH FOREST

[@KellyPettit]

Hope Karen enjoyed herself. That place was amazing. Those old trees move me beyond words. Your photos make them timeless. Thank you.

[@Leffe49]

Beautiful Images Adam! ❤ It is lucky Canada have you, to make a documentation of the old Forest, on your big island. There´s no better Photograph than you, for that task. 👍

[@fordwayne3833]

Oh my God what a beautiful forest! I hope heaven is that beautiful. Maybe there's a piece of heaven on earth after all. Subscribed.

[@shegop]

Dear Adam, I love your woodland footage so much. This intro is incredible. Everyone has to see it on a big tv, a smartphone or tablet screen does it not justice. Just incredible

[@theo_urbach]

Great video and photo's ... he is a little bit like Bob Ross ;-)

[@joe3eagles]

I absolutely love the sense of three dimensional depth you achieve in these photos. At 6:55, I can almost reach my hand between one subject in the composition and another behind it!

[@j16m02]

I can't decide whether to envy you or pity you. These old growth forests are some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. But aside from their obvious esthetic beauty, there is an overwhelming sense of tranquility, time and story in every shot. Honestly seems a perfect fit for you. On the other hand the complexity of every composition would overwhelm a lesser photographer. (Myself included). So, thank you for these. You are a little island of calm and sanity in this often insane time we live in.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thank you James!

[@peterfritzphoto]

I couldn't agree more, James. On every point.

[@hamsterneckliving]

Perfectly said!

[@599miata]

Nice photos Adam. Glad you found your better half.

[@dannyhead5287]

Thanks, Adam! I always love your woodland videos!

[@justinmeaden6281]

Lovely video Adam, gorgeous atmospheric intro. Really liked the photos too with the first 16x9 my favourite. I miss the ending you started recently with a shot being printed out and displayed hanging up though.

[@viaconqueso]

I learn a ton as you explain your shots - thank you!

[@JeremyPayne]

These are the Adam Gibbs video's i love to watch!. Old growth forest and stunning images.

[@FakeNews_Ignored]

Loved your images. All beautiful, professionalism shows plenty. 👍👍👍👍

[@geoffstairmand3747]

Adam you set the bar extremely high for anyone to achieve in woodland photography. You are inspirational.

[@brianbeattyphotography]

That’s a cool scene at 12:32. Lot going on, but good complexity and really feels like spring

[@davidhatton2321]

Very nice detailed analysis of your composition strategies, Adam. Many vloggers may be good technically, but few are approaching photography as a true art from as you are. Wow, the GFX's raw files bring landscapes to entirely new level.....I'm afraid to try one knowing that I could never go back to full frame. Would love to hear an analysis of the Rogeti geared head in a future video.

[@kevinwhitehead6373]

An eco-warrior with images for ammunition, I'd sign up to your platoon in a heartbeat, Adam!!

[@blivieriphoto]

I can never tire of watching your slow drone footage with that lovely music. I absolutely love these old growth forests, and the green forest floor plants, whatever they're called - so beautiful. You make it look so easy. Thanks for the great video! 🌳🌲

[@kghareeb]

Superb, thank you Adem.

[@proach3]

Haven’t seen the back of Karen since China! I am noticing an evolution in your processing; a couple of years ago you had more deep shadows. Lately they are more opened up. Just noticing as all are lovely.

[@zemekiel]

That picture at 12:45 is absolutely incredible, perfect crop of that scene, in my eyes at least. Btw, have you considered turning that "sensor cleaning" function on your camera off? It doesn't actually do anything useful, but it does use quite a bit of battery.

[@peterfritzphoto]

Thanks for another lovely, informative, peaceful video, Adam. Always such a pleasure to watch.

[@pmc7105]

That pathway at 7:05 was a great composition too

[@ralfkrahe2493]

Another brilliant episode from the woods. The many different shades of green in the rain are incredible!

[@nickbristol3457]

Calming, peaceful and beautifully photographed images. Thanks Adam!

[@antoniodesiderio1984]

a truly amazing location. How much envy Adam. Congratulations on the video and photos. Always at the top.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@davebenson1504]

Hello Karen... welcome to KZbin... wow... that RAW file at 10:50 was pretty dang nice right out of camera, and then I heard your comment on FUJI... and that also applies to the X-T versions too... Fuji film simulations are a HUGE bonus to their systems... hadn't noticed the leaning tree until you mentioned it... and really like your adjustment... small details make big differences... your images are sooooo amazing, and some might be the 100 megapixel, but I know the most is about the art... GLAD you eventually found Karen... Thank You

[@itakephotos1141]

I'm saddened about all that is going on in your old growth forests and mine as well. Breaks my heart.

[@tompetersphotography]

Your such a good example of returning to locations Adam! It’s so important for me, trying to see if I like a different season or like you said seeing new shots years later. Great vlog and some lovely compositions

[@timetodestination9538]

That intro is otherworldly. Hope it can last as long as forever.

[@1young-geezer]

O my, the rain wetness and the soft clouded reflected light just make these wonderful shots. So saturated, and the textures are just incredible. The dodge and burn you did on that first capture was wonderful, really proved your pre-vision was spot on. Great conditions, great compositions, another winner in the can, lol. Viewing Karen from the back is a little disappointing, but then having her out w/you at all is really a warm touch.

[@oswaldbastable4139]

A self propelled tripod carrier, I knew I was missing something!

[@davidpearson3304]

I keep looking on B&H and Adorama but can’t seem to find one myself. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@WildLightLandscapes]

Great video mate and beautiful images such an awesome location it's absolutely stunning in that area. Thanks for the shout out mate can't wait to see more of that place in the future 🤞😃✌

[@indianwinter]

Dsang you got some nice woodland around you. Awesome video again.

[@lifemileagesridhar5528]

The scene at 13.57 is stunning!! Adam, beautiful presentation and well articulated.

[@PhotoBronze]

Your opening drone footage is sublime!

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

You and your stunning photography of old growth forests are such an inspiration Adam! We have some beautiful rainforest nearby(ish) and it is my favourite place to go but such a challenge to photograph! You inspire me to keep looking and photographing, and help me believe that if I keep at it one day I can learn to do justice photographically to the wonder of the place!

[@MichaelShainblum]

Beautiful images and video Adam!

[@MrDefenderofsteel82]

So Beautiful Place and Images!

[@kevins8575]

Great images of a great location

[@Birdie0858]

That second scene was absolutely gorgeous, one of the best forest scenes I think I have ever viewed!

[@enricooldoino1967]

magic place and even more beautiful compositions ( light seems very good and greens pops up )

[@TLM823]

One thing I truly appreciate is your knowledge of the trees, their names and related information along with your knowledge of ferns and other plants. All of this has encouraged me to know more about the types of plants around our home in North Carolina. Thank you!

[@grgdavis2]

You have this seemingly innate ability to sort out balance and order in the chaos of the forest and I find this very much inspiring and informative. I always look forward to viewing your work....keep'em coming please!

[@rickwilliamsphotography]

Wonderful video, and I really enjoy the composition discussion. Every time you vlog about the old growth forests, it sends me scrambling on an internet research project for any remaining old growth forests here in the Northeastern US/New England. There are few remaining, sadly, but I hope to spend some time exploring those that I can find. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@lylestavast7652]

Loved the images you came up with :) thanks for taking time to make these videos....

[@Alastair6]

Really nice, Adam. You manage to bring out the subtle beauty of the rainforest every time. I'm still enjoying your book as well.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@canuckdon]

Your videos are the best. I find it hard to reconcile your calm mature presentations with the buffoonery of Gavin's. Thanks for this footage, mate.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Life can't all be serious. Gavin and me always have a good laugh that is always good for the soul.

[@canuckdon]

@@QuietLightPhoto For sure. I enjoy Gavin's humour, it's just that your dulcet tones and calm demeanor seem to be a mismatch with his style. I suppose this is what creates the laughs - sort of Laurel and Hardy.

[@thomastuorto9929]

Gavin is just trying his best to put a smile on one's face. Like mold, he grows on ya!

[@srodigital]

Seriously! How can anyone put a thumbs down to an Adam Gibbs video, when like in this video the drone footage is great...and that's just the start...

[@twagn]

There are a lot of immature and hateful people on KZbin

[@Jazzbeau]

It's the green-eyed monster at work

[@chrisroot7182]

We all know its Gavin! ;-)

[@kevinlewis7091]

So good. You have such a knack for taking the viewer along with you - thank you.

[@chrisroot7182]

Hopefully you can pull of that Carmanah workshop one day. Stunning location! Cheers Adam!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I hope so too!

[@richierich9759]

Well done Adam. A true master of his craft. And I’m glad to see your partner loves spending time enjoying what you love to do. Cheers, Rich

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks 👍

[@jeffolson4731]

One of the things I really like about your videos is that you shoot in very similar forests that I have available to me. The forests of the Olympic Mountains and Cascades in Washington State, USA, have very dense foliage like the forests on Vancouver Island. Learning how to frame and what to look for in dense forests is very helpful.

[@windleman1]

What a beautiful forest. Thanks for the running through your compositions, it is so helpful to hear you talk about them. The last one was so interesting to see how much you left out.

[@ronnyheinemann1283]

That intro waw you got me hooked for the rest of the vlog 👌👌

[@steveperkins3718]

Beautiful Adam

[@brucewdelorme]

Always enjoyable and beautiful

[@wimscheenen3535]

Excellent video, once again! Very nice area you’re living in as well.

Wow, that last shot with the leaning tree could have been a million years ago!

Enjoyed this one Adam, great drone footage and beautiful images.

[@adamsmith6594]

It's been a very traumatic 2 months and finally I can chill out this evening. And just when that couldn't get any better an Adam Gibbs vlog drops. Well all I can say is thank you for the light Adam.

[@arkansastraveler7698]

Close to your area, Hoquiam Wa, 3 days and then 2 weeks down Oregon coast. Any suggestions?

[@DrewRogers1010]

Adam where did you get that eye piece extension? Is it part of the camera or an add-on? Your videos have been an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

The eye piece comes with the camera. The adapter that changes the angle of the eyepiece is a very expensive add on, but worth it I think.

[@uabpsab]

Great as always!

[@davidstevenson1950]

Beautiful images Adam!

[@gordonbrunner9429]

..enjoy as always...gotta get me one of those tripod porters...or at least one that doesn't complain so much

[@QuietLightPhoto]

These ones are hard to find, perhaps I should do a review 😉

[@gordonbrunner9429]

@@QuietLightPhoto ..interesting idea but may be too long and in the end the repercussions may be extreme...

[@BrettWoodPhoto]

Cheers mate, always appreciate your ability to shoot these “green” scenes. I may have missed it somewhere but you did mention a link to your mate Paul’s KZbin channel.

[@robertgrenader858]

Excellent. A question: with the image size of the GFX100, why not capture an image at a wider angle and then crop in post vs. zooming into the final image??

[@yuvtube1]

What is the use of owning a medium format sensor if you are not going to use its full potential? If you are going to get a cropped image, it's better to stick with a cheaper APS-C sensor camera.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

A number of reasons.First off and probably the biggest reason not to is angle of view. A cropped image from a wide angle will not have the same angle of view as say a longer focal length. The relationship between background and foreground changes with the various focal lengths.

[@ianlewisphotography]

Everyone needs a ‘Karen’ to carry their tripod 😂 That opening sequence could have been the start of a film, very cinematic! Thought it was superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@IainHC1]

Cracking vid as always.... Nice to see Karen too :-)

[@mikepenney5726]

did the sunwayphoto gear head die on you or prove a bit weak for the bigger camera? i like your new one (looks like an adaptation of the cube). But ouch the price.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

No I still have it, just trying something a bit different

[@mwe5398]

Wonderful video as always. Is Karen a business partner?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Yes she's my boss, keeps me in order ;-)

[@c141charlie]

What is the best way to save a forest? Is it placing your neck between the trunk of a tree, and the blade of a chainsaw? Dunno. That strategy didn't work for Tank Man in Tiananmen Square. However, a single photo can change the world. Napalm girl shaped public opinion and hastened the end of the Vietnam War. The photo of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi washed up on a beach prompted an international response to handling refugees from Syria. Is the trick to shape public opinion to value our forests such that it becomes ethically, socially, and politically untenable to wipe out a forest? Dunno again. What I can say is no other photographer on KZbin has touched me like Adam Gibbs. Maybe it's his work, or someone else's that can do this.

[@srg3798]

Why can't we get a better look at Karen?

[@andrewhookerphotography4774]

Another stunning video Adam. The footage is amazing (as are your photographs), and your explanation of your composition and method is extraordinary. I need to pay heed to that when I produce my videos. Thank you for all that you share with us, I for one appreciate it.
