Nick, thanks so much for the great videos you produce. Often we go out to photograph a location with visions of the images we want to create and capture, only to be disappointed by the imperfect conditions. But in your videos, you remind us that when going out, it’s important not only to enjoy the day and surroundings, but to take what we get with the conditions presented, and make the best of them. Whether it’s cloudy and grey conditions at Palouse Falls, wind blown sunset in the dunes, stormy foamy conditions on the coast, or bluebird boring skies in the woods, there’s always a great photo to be created if we maintain the mindset of openness to the conditions. Thanks for the psych advice!!

Thank you very much for showing us your images Nick. It is great to see what and why you shoot your images with the occasional how it is done. All delivered in a professional and serious way without taking yourself too seriously. More please.

Talk about a jackpot day of photography! Nick your choice of MUSIC to put to these videos is far and away better than the other band of KZreadrs, IMO. It really adds to the story telling. Outstanding start to the year, man.

New year. New truck. Killer Oregon coast images. You’re off to a good start in 2020 Nick! Stay upbeat brother. Cheers!

Nick, I think you’re the only KZreadr who doesn’t have us longingly gaze at your images for a full minute each time you show one of them. I find the humility quite charming and respectable, but some of these images are incredible and they flash on the screen for like two seconds! I end up rewinding or pausing so as to examine them longer. Not really an issue, I know where the pause button is on my iPad. Just an observation. Great stuff as always, man.

Sometimes you can get so caught up in the hunt for a “perfect” photo that you end up not finding anything or fall into a rut. Looks like you returned to your roots and everything lined up for a great day!

True!

What a beautiful and magical place to just wander, clear your head and photograph!!!!!!

Beautiful video, love the forest and the sun rays. Thanks for always adding the how to background info and why you compose the way you do. Glad you finally had the light for coast shots. Just beautiful. Congrats on the truck!

Nick, we get skies like that all the time on the North Carolina coast. We don't have the rocks but old broken piers work in their place. Love the images.

This was just an amazing video. Loved the photos and your explanations, as well. Gorgeous!

Beautiful day, man, that sunset and those rocks were fantastic. However, I think that first forest shot might have been even better. What a great day!

Beautiful light in all of the photos and the forest is so green. It's pretty much a brown winter here in Missouri.

I feel ya. I drove 58k miles in less than 2 years in my brand new truck. Warranty is long gone. When the inspiration calls you just gotta go!

Good on ye, Nick. As soon as I saw you walking down the path to the beach, I knew which Mesa Arch location you were at. I remember making that walk down. Pretty perilous given my vestibular neuritis at the time. The walk out nearly killed me! The weather gods were kind to you this day, great conditions and another great video. Good to have you back!

I'm a new fan. Like your PNW hat too. I'm from Whidbey just north of Seattle and too love the forrest and coastal diversity the PNW brings. My absolute favorite is a foggy fall or winter day. So much vibrance in in the still air. Nice video! Appreciate the work you do!!! Have you been to Lake Ozette in the Olympic National Park? There's a 9ish mile triangle hike that goes to Cape Alava (3m), down the shoreline (3m) to Sand Point and back (3m) to Lake Ozette. ONP has a great wilderness map with details. Kind of out of the way, but a photographers dream! A lot of resemblance to the parts in this video. If you're ever up for an adventure, this is a great spot! Be mindful of the Tide! -Bud

The last photo is absolutely amazing, but man, let me tell you that the frame that made this video's thumb makes a terrific wallpaper 😂

awesome shots. It's always a thrill and blessing when the location, light and clouds come together. It's the emotional wow that gets us out there. Love your videos. Great eye. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Nick. Glad to see you back on track. I needed this one, too. Moved to Bend, OR in October and an hoping to get over to the Coast. Moving and settling in and the holidays has kept me from getting out and shooting. But this provided some great inspiration. You were the first photography KZreadr I watched. This was a couple of years ago and I was looking for information on photographing the Oregon Coast. One of your early videos came up and I was hooked. Been watching ever since. Keep it coming!

Dude, these images are amazing, not only that, but the video itself looks so cinematic as well. Nice work, keep putting out killer content!

No Bull Bars on the front of your car Nick. Be careful how you slow down at road junctions (especially when behind Gavin Hardcastle !!!) Great images as usual Nick, glad you got the light you've been waiting for.

Spectacular in every way Nick! From beginning to end and even the pitch on the new truck which has me thinking about one now. Ha! I have an 01 Tahoe with 265k miles so I purchased a Pilot but now my wife needs a car and giving her the Pilot and me getting a Colorado sounds appealing. At 6’3” I need leg room so I’ll check it out. I’ve been missing your videos and this was a home run to return with. Superb! Top class!

Nick, Nick, Nick. Thanks, I needed this video. First off let me say this is the first content of yours I've ever seen. To me, you nailed it (others may argue, let them). 1. The story of the video well done explaining what, why, etc. 2. The video (What I mean is, too many times when a photographer makes a video the color grading isn't that great and many times the audio is third rate.) 3. The photos (Now there may not have been a lot, but the ones you shared were 'spot on.) For those reasons I'm clicking the SUBSCRIBE, and ringing the bell. Now I need to dig into your channel's video and see if I can find a couple/few things. A. What you used to ediit your videos B. How you color grade your videos C. What you used to edit your photos D. How you color grade your photos (I had just ordered the X-rite ColorChecker) E. How you chose what F-stops to use in a particular situation. Thanks Nick for all the hard work that is took to make this video.

Thank you for sharing Nick, fantastic footage

So good to see you in better spirits. After your last video it actually left me concerned and I recently lost a classmate that seemed like the happiest guy ever and he jumped off a bridge. For all the critics and perhaps mean comments you get let me say from my heart that what you do inspires me and brings light, never darkness. I know we all question our abilities at times and the only thing that could "suck" is not trying to better ourselves or be inspired to keep doing what we're doing. If photography ever stopped inspiring you (or anyone) sometimes change is in order. Your abilities go far beyond making images, you have the gift of being a great teacher as well. Best of luck on your new ride, may it take you great places!

some superb images - loved all the misty tree pics... excellent.

Great sunset shots. Cool music. And I love the new truck. Good on ya.

You had a good day for pictures Nick. Always satisfying to get a few keepers on an outing and you got more than that. Nice truck too. Wish i could get a new truck as I've got a lot of miles on mine currently.

Nice photo vlag Nick. I love that lighting you go on the coast. Thats what makes real photogs... going back over over until you finally get the light.

Brilliant, Nick! so glad to see you perk up a bit my man.

Congrats on the new truck! Great video and images! Beautiful location!

Great shots, nice new truck and good to see you back out and feeling it again!

Epic pictures. That was one solid day out taking pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Your off and running now Nick. You are so blessed to be able to have that in your backyard to shoot. I live in Missouri and you really have to travel south to get great landscapes. I will be retiring soon and hope to take a workshop sometime. I get the light snob thing..to find and epic image you cant settle for mediocre light. Happy New Year fellow photographer.

Great video. I’m totally relaxed. I learned a few things from it. And you’re right about the incredible conditions and killer sky. Great photos! Alive Alive Alive!

New music for photo-showing section ? That's nice :) I kinda like the first 3 woodland shots more than the seascapes, all great photos in deed though !

Breaking the dry spell! Congratualtions!

Glad to see you looking at peace in this video.

Love your passion for the craft, Nick!

Thanks Nick! Happy New Year!

Simply wonderful!

such a killer spot (coast). well done man. The light and colors are sa-weet. The foam. light. etc. money!

brilliant Nick! thank you.

Catching up on your videos Nick. Living by the CA coast, I know what you mean about marine layer and getting good sunsets. Looks like a perfect evening to be shooting the Oregon Coast. Thanks for sharing with us

Gorgeous work Nick. Can't wait to go back to the coast. I'm hoping for some good snow around Mt Hood and cold enough temps to make some ice around the waterfalls soon.

Great to see another video from you after the holidays, I was looking forward to your next post.

Good to see and hear you back “in your happy place”. Looking good for the coming new year!

Great video, living on the east coast of NH and shooting sunrises, I totally agree about the clouds making the image. Plenty of times I've got up early to drive down in the dark only to be disappointed that the weather aps lied and it was a clear sky. I won't even bother shooting it, I'm a snob like that too lol I would never leave my bag unzipped though that close to the water, especially salt water. Just as you mentioned, a rogue wave could take that right over. Had a friend of mine go into the ocean with his gear. That's why I never get that close. Love you channel! Watched it my whole work day.

Amazing cinematics, nice music and killer images! Keep up the good work!

What a great start to the year! Nice one, Nick.

Happy New Year Nick. Keep up the GREAT work/Passion.

Happy New Year Nick! Started with a top notch video! Thank you!

Welcome back! What a way to start 2020. Here’s to a great and creative year ahead.

You're going to give Adam a run with those forest shots! Beautiful!

I absolutely love the mist through the trees. Great shots.

Happy New Years Nick! I was really excited when I got notified that you posted a new video. I brewed my coffee, put my feet up and enjoyed this awesome video. I loved the behind the scenes and explanations of everything. Great work!

Thank for the beauty you capture and bring back to all of us.

Glad to see you back on the coast chasing light. Oh and Nice Truck!

My new favourite photographer.Thanks for the tip Mads and thanks for the tips Nick.

Amazing shots!!! A great way to start of the new year. Thank you for sharing with us!

Awesome photos. Enjoyed the video. What a way to start the new year!

Happy new year, Nick. Amazing video for the start of a new year! The music you chose suits the video just perfect.

Loved that, inspirational, and beautiful photography

Awesome video, Nick! Very inspiring. Thank you.

I keep going back to the same place on Long Beach Washington, Beards Cove, to get an "iconic" shot of waves, rock, and sun. I know the shot exists, but it is elusive. I think I get close to my vision and to my eye it looks as if I do, but not. I'll keep trying. Thanks for your inspiring videos!

Nick this was how you start a new year !!! Woodland Images totally took my breath away. Good luck with the truck and also, love the music.

What a way to start the new year Love the truck too! I really enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot from you. Have a great 2020!

Great work Nick and awesome light moments for you.

Great photos Nick really enjoyed this.

Happy New year!! Thanks for sharing this video.

Nick! You are BACK! Beautiful photography in the woodlands and the seaside. Happy New Year and I look forward to learning more from you in 2020!

The images - just wow! Some great advice on capturing sea movement too.

Awesome conditions, Nick! Great job. All the best to you in 2020!

Nothing like awesome conditions to boost morale. Great photos. Best wishes for 2020.

As usual amazingly beautiful images! Happy New Year!

Love the way narrate your video. Hope you and your family have a great New Year!

I wish you a happy new year Nick! All the best, for you and your family! ....and please continue your great work! 👍

Great start to the year for you. I instead knocked my camera, lens, flash and tripod into the river when I attempted to move a branch out of my way. The branch snapped back, smacking my tripod, sending it into the river. The lens was the only good lens I had. Everything is in bags of rice now, but I'm not optimistic. Happy frickin new year.

Happy new year ,Nick . Wonderful LIGHT to start the year ,,,may the best LIGHTS be with u ...

What a wonderful day it looks like you had. The shots are stunning! Glad you got to be there. Oh, I also dig the new ride!

Wow. Amazing images, Nick. Welcome back. Glad you got this.

Great to see a man so happy in his work and some great images as a result! Keep them coming in 2020 Nick but at your own pace, not others - "Things take time"

Amazing video and incredible pictures... Awesome!!

Happy New Year Nick! That light was amazing it wasn't like that when we drove down the coast so glad it reignited your enthusiasm you could see it shine through in this vlog!
