The subtleties of LIGHT

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My apologies for the UK, Scotland reference, a Freudian slip of the tongue😉

[@stuartfarquharson213]

Thankfully we’re still part of the UK!

[@keenzomamanzo9044]

I actually just thought you were emphasising it was more likely to find it in Scotland.....

[@alistaircassidy]

Thankfully we will be independent soon. 😀

The one thing I learned when I switched to Nikon and now Sony from shooting Canon is the difference in that the older Canon glass, (8- blade aperture, 8-point sunstar) can produce sunstars without having to stop down so fare. I personally am not as big of fan with 'busy' sunstars that the Nikon and Sony and newer Canon lenses produce (9-blade aperture, 18-point sunstars). That's probably the biggest reason I like shooting with the Sony a7rIII is not so much the camera but I can still use older Canon glass when I want a nice clean minual sunstar. The Zeiss Loxia lenses, (10-straight blade, 10-point sunstar) are also very nice. The Zeiss Loxia 21mm will produce a sunstar even at f/2.8! Just a preference. But another great informative video as always.

[@Smedley60]

For what it's worth, I really like the texture of the water in your image at 4:21.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Awesome work Adam! Forest and river scenes can be so damn tricky to simplify. You always do such a fantastic job turning all that chaos into beautifully composed works of art!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Michael Shainblum thanks so much Michael!

[@JasonLorette]

That bridge is beautiful...wish we had more like it in Canada, I agree, we don't out here either (East Coast).

[@damonfinlay6519]

Hope you guys have a blast in Scotland when you come over here👍

[@cstarkey4868]

Just . . . Wow!

[@jarman1970]

I liked the way you showed how you moved around the area to get the best of the compositions. There seemed to be many. I think the image at the 13 minute mark showed the best aspects of the light and composition. Thanks again

[@Luschikowski]

Your Videos are always a pleasure, Adam!

[@billonthehill9984]

Thanks Adam & his lordship... You have become masterful in the art of subtle light indeed. I agree, the image from the previous day shot at 1.5 sec. exp. was exceptional. Funny, typically my preferred speeds on smallish waterfalls is around .4 or .5 secs.to capture those beautiful water shapes without turning the water into a flurry slush. However, I love it when a slightly longer exp. sometimes turns out to be the winning shot! Great stuff Adam & I thank you again... Bill on the Hill, Vermont, USA... :~)

[@AlergicToSnow]

William Farr actually I’ve found you can’t predetermine shutter speed for a look because it depends on how fast the water is moving. In the spring when the water is really flowing I’m usually around ½ sec whereas in the summer if it hasn’t rained lately it could be several seconds.

[@anvilcloud]

That last set of images really nailed it IMO.

[@TheGuitarsadist]

Beautiful photos Adam and looks like another great day out with Gavin. Particularly the 3 photos from about 12:45 through 13:20. Excellent shots overall and some great advice. As always thanks for posting and sharing. Also wanted to say congratulations on the 22k subscribers, seems like you caught up and have surpassed Gavin pretty quickly.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

TheGuitarsadist actually I think it’s the other way around, but who’s counting lol thanks!

[@TheGuitarsadist]

@@QuietLightPhoto You may be right and it does not matter, just seem like when I first started watching your channel it was near the start and only like 1K. Both are excellent and I wish you and Gavin much success on the YT channels. Have a safe and enjoyable day.

[@hermilioquintana9178]

Great chemistry between both of you , it's refreshing, inspiring and educational. Great work. Keep those videos comimg. Thank you.

[@stephenrowson4828]

It's always a joy to watch you guys shooting together - love the banter. Great work as always... I love the last shot

[@Creativecavemanagain]

Hi, I've been there several times over the years and have never seen another photographer there, until today. When I was there today, two young fellas showed up with backpacks, tripods and wellies. One went upstream and the other down. They definitely had a plan. Not saying its a bad thing, just saying, that's all. Cheers

[@Lincolnshirefromtheair]

i prefer the image at 9:40 better....because the one at 10:08 has your friends tripod in it 😂 one of my favourite beach shots that i got, one that i was really pleased with. on closer inspection has my camera bag in it 🙄 love your channel.....i have subbed 👍

[@Noealz]

Oh some nice shots of the water

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Certainly going into the photographing waterfalls collection. Got lots of potential in this spot year round. So lucky to have this.

[@johnsholian4318]

Well done Adam! It definitely looks like a great location that would provide some beautiful images during different weather and seasonal changes.

[@thepaintedlady4637]

You and Gavin are the dream team - just makes me smile to see you two bantering :)

[@srobinson426]

Really like getting 2 vlogs of you both.

[@PierrePRESTAT]

I liked it immediatly at 1:04 because of this footage taken by the drone under the bridge : you are a very talented pilot Adam !

[@RRHSKnightVision]

Great video Adam! Besides the wonderful photography, I have to comment on your remarkable skills as a drone pilot. Your video shots coming through, over, around and close to the trees and water in all of your videos is second to none. Perhaps you should have a workshop one day on how to use drones to accentuate the beauty of a location?

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I couldn't agree more. Adam could guide a drone through a moving car window.

[@kevins8575]

Great drone video under the bridge!

[@jillianhorsley5985]

Nature just keeps giving and giving Adam, you did mother nature proud, loved this Vlog.

[@thelonghaul5214]

love that nice smooth drone video. great shots.

[@fredcarter6996]

Great instructional video. I appreciate your willingness to document and share your struggles to get that "great" shot and that sometimes it just isn't going to happen the way you want it to. It's reassuring for we lesser talents to see the pros at work and to know that even for them the great shot doesn't always fall into their laps.

[@KurtBaumanMobilePhotography]

Fantastic Adam, thanks for sharing a truly magical place that has a lot of potential different times of the year.

[@mariacyou9265]

Magical location and beautiful photography. Thank you for walking us through your process of taking a photographs. I am surprised that this picturesque stone bridge is only from 1966. I wish you to have a wonderful trip to Scotland.

[@JayMacroPhotos]

I love the photo at 6:20

[@CelsoMollo]

Great idea for you both to do workshops together. I would pay for the humour alone. You are the type of guys that I like to be associated with and get to know so I might attend a workshop in the future.

[@michelledickie1312]

Fantastic B-roll at the beginning of the video! Beautiful 😊

[@paulus0109]

Thnx for another great vlog Adam.

[@grahamjones2759]

Shot at Mesa Arch, Vancouver Island. Quite close to McMesa Arch in Scotland.

[@josephstanski5180]

Beautiful done Adam - love the bridge and water (near/far composition). Nicely done guys.

[@TheMoodyPhotographer]

Fantastic like always :)

[@jimgraves4197]

Great video, cheers

[@hachewie]

That first drone sequence is awesome. Great video.

[@laurelb8372]

Amazing location

[@kevinwhitehead6373]

Magic location Adam, love to see it in quiet light. Great drone footage as always - stunning low pass over the cascade!

[@markattardo]

Great stuff. Really enjoy seeing both of your perspectives.

[@dbj1113]

hope you get as good light over here in Scotland,as you did at this gorgeous location.couple of things to remember for your upcoming trip.you will be coming just at the start of midge season,and we have lochs here,with just a couple of lakes.really looking forward to seeing your videos of our wee country.is it the highlands and islands you are off to? (glencoe,skye etc)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Derek bell-jack were on Mull for a week and then Glencoe and Skye

[@WyeExplorer]

You're a magician Adam. I really enjoyed the location. Spend a bit of time and it unfolds. Mark

[@bkspicture]

Lovely!!

[@KGi4]

Great find guys. Lovely images. Keep up with good work both of you :)

[@RS.Outdoors]

Very nice images and hope you are enjoying good old Scotland. Wondering if you got to see some snow earlier in the week with the short cold snap we had.

[@Skippy7189]

Wow... Great pictures Adam. I'd love to get the results of your"crap" shots. I thought they were great.

[@rom-media6800]

Great video and photos Adam! Looking forward to what you’re going to capture in Scotland! Cheers

[@dinsdalephotography]

Absolutely incredible shots Adam! Fantastic work and a great video. Looking forward to your next adventure - Can't wait for Scotland. Cheers Mate!

[@cthirteenphotography1099]

You guys both make want to quit my job and move to BC

[@chrisr.1803]

Come to Oregon! Our bridges are beautiful!

[@gordroberts53]

Hi Adam, very enjoyable episode, the stone bridge is definitely on my must find location list. The opening drone footage was spectacular, seemed like it couldn't have been more than a few inches above water level. Thanks for sharing!

[@DiviPhotos]

Very nice video

[@robertwhitemoto]

Just a beautiful location Adam! That shot at 13:05... (in my best Tom Heaton accent) Absolutely Stunnin... Would love to attend that workshop if life allowed... not likely but you guys are going some great places so it should be fantastic!

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

Thank you for another great video, when are you going to the q&a video? Thank you for sharing

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Samuel Augustin hopefully this week

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

Yes I’m so excited 😆

[@TL-xw6fh]

Adam, Scotland is in the UK (just about)! BTW, wonderful vlog.

[@simonbarnes7124]

Great video Adam. Hopefully you may just miss the midges in Scotland!

[@tmjr]

I can see that Gavin has been in to give his thumbs down .... ;) Excellent video as usual. I really like your way of telling and explaining your views.

[@Hangs4Fun]

I will have to look into that workshop with Laurel and Hardy, should be a blast

[@richcower]

Really like that day before shot, that one is a beauty. Why doesn't Gavin wear socks?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Rich Cower because he’s weird?

[@dave33745]

Any chance we could see the full shot then zoom in for the detail. I just find it a bit frustrating waiting to see the whole image. it may just be me sorry. Great work as usual. You are my favourite photographer.

[@lintownboy]

Where is the lenscloth?

[@janm2473]

Another excellent video, Adam. Did you call the beams "God beams"? ;).

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Jann Smith I did!

[@edgarso3175]

Hi Adam, loved your shots!! How do you get that sunstar? Particular settings that make it look that way?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Edgars O a small f stop like f16 and partially block the sun usually works

[@edgarso3175]

@@QuietLightPhoto Thank you! Will give it a try.

[@chrisroot7182]

Another great video Adam! Tons of potential in that spot I think. Due to the lighting conditions did you end up spending a lot of time in post? Cheers!

[@for09tx]

Great video again. I agree. Fog would've made it better. Hope you can return to get that shot.

[@RussellCram]

I think the biggest thing I took away from this video was that Gavin doesn't wear any socks!

[@blaqueification]

"I'm all over that shit" lmao..... That's good stuff

[@bradzaruba9686]

Why did Gavin smell his boot to determine whether it was wet! Lovely video.

[@crissignori7482]

most guys have some coffee first thing in the morning to wake up buy you guys take a wiff of each others boots ..... hmmmm ... well whatever works ......the pictures are great

Are you kepping this location a secret?

You said "UK and Scotland" OOOPS!!!!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

John McFarland oops indeed!

[@czarekp3552]

6:58 watch out! there's a black bear on the left.... oh no, sorry... that's just a well fed photographer

[@Steve-qe2yo]

Love your videos and love your photography. I WAS thinking about joining you on the April workshop but $1995 for 2 days? Seriously? I can join another group run by another well known KZbin photographer to Iceland for 13 days for just under twice that. Sorry mate way too expensive. Keep up the good work with the channel though.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Steve great!

[@davidewersphotography1013]

if the boot smelled that bad, his feet must be rank!

[@jeffreyhawker9042]

Great pictures as usual! What the hell was Gavin shooting, hasn’t he learned by now that he should copy your compositions, does he not realize that he will never have a chance of being an international award winning landscape photographer if he submits lesser quality images of the same locations as you?🤣

[@alistaircassidy]

Jeffrey Hawker He must be so grateful to get to shoot with the landscape photographer of the year. Adam is clearly very generous with his time for learners.

[@jeffreyhawker9042]

@@alistaircassidy Clearly Gavin needs a What would Uncle Grumpy Shoot t-shirts as a reminder!

[@Hirsutechin]

A bonny spot, indeed, and some bonny images. In Bonny Scotland the weather is warming a bit, so they're waiting for you and drooling at the prospect of fresh meat... the midges, that is, they like a bit of fresh meat they do. Be afraid, be very afraid!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Big Beard not too bad yet

[@mazutcali9471]

Since Gavin moved to opposite side of Canada, Adam and Gavin's channels lost their original sparkling content.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Oh well I'm not shedding any tears

[@warpspeed9877]

WTF are the socks? On a hike without a second pair? Give us a break...
