My apologies video is a little long and could have been shortened quite a bit. In a nutshell, my tips include 1: slowing down 2: get to know your subject 3: stop fussing over gear and processing 4: keep an open mind and keep your options open 5: concentrate on the light 6: look towards other artists for ideas and inspiration.

Might add this one: If you are unsure of what the light is doing and what settings to use, go to Live View with historgram visible, look at the screen and adjust the aperture, shutter speed or ISO and watch what happens. You can/will learn a lot by doing that! (but, make sure you DO get the shot first before the light changes!!!!)

#5 just made sense to me. I was out taking pics of some small waterfalls today using my CPL. No matter what I did, I couldn't get rid of all of the light reflection. Thought about it for a couple of hours and then went back to look at the pictures. Low and behold, I found a huge light source coming through the trees which line up perfectly with the reflections I couldn't filter out. It was sunny out, so there was light everywhere. Guess I need to wait for a cloudy day or golden hour or blue hour. Now I have a better idea of what I need to pay attention to. Thanks Adam for the tips!

Those were really nice tips, Thank you so much

I’m that sad guy that spends my working day on a computer yet, upon getting home, immediately open my editing software . . . . . . . every single day. It makes me happy 🙂

Exactly same issue here... work IT and behind computers all day. Last thing I want to do at the end of a grueling day at the office is sit behind a computer. For some reason, if I start working a photo I can’t stop myself :) Ughhh

I've done it again. A dull cloudy day, started raining earlier so I'll stay in and watch KZread photography videos, but as I look out the window there is gorgeous evening light catching some nice clouds and I should have been out there. Your tip no. 7 should be to stop watching videos and get out whatever the weather!

Rainy weather can give you some really cool photos. The light comes busting through some clouds and spot litghts something its so cool.

Great tips Adam and the images throughout were an absolute feast for the eyes. Wonderful.

Having overdosed on KZread videos and confused myself, this was like that shaft of light in a forest illuminating a subject. Thanks Adam as it has helped me see the wood from the trees.

Maybe the best photography "top tips" video on KZread. So well described.

Thanks, Adam. I needed this. Slow down. Watch the light. Look at the works of others. Commmmmpooooooose. Deep breath. Do it again.

I love when you're by yourself🌹 you make everything so magical 🏕you take photography to a whole other level🌬🌱🐛🐢🌏 though I have truly enjoyed you hanging out with everyone else 🌬🕯🌊you guys are funny🕊😎🕊 your life has been incredible Adam and I'm so proud of you And the trails that you have walked &the mountains you have climbed hard to put into words but your photographs say everything of your life 🌾🌾🌾 happy trails you're the real deal

Yea, I agree. I really enjoy your videos. Your thoughtful comments on composition and shooting photographs. Excellent video!

Your own photographs are the best vindication of your tips. Wonderful images.

I usually hate this click bait, millennial type of BS KZread video... but this is Adam Gibbs, and the man is a bloody legend. Loved the tips, they were well thought out and accompanied by stunning images. PS, You are due another wee episode on ‘light.’ Hated the sunnies at the start, but strangely missed them when you took them off 😜

Great reminders, and beautiful photos to back them up!

Steampunk Gibbsy, great sunglass Adam. What a joy to see so many magnificent images on one video, and all while listening to sound advice. You forgot larking around and having fun. Wishing you good light & safe travels.

Thanks for the tips, while watching this, all I could think about is how nice it would be to have a video with just your pictures and music. Now I have to watch this again and listen to what you actually said. Great work and thank you

Very thoughtful of you to spend time thinking these points through - and expressing them in a way that means you've actually shared something we can enjoy (I often smile at your video editing) and of course, use/incorporate into our own work. Thank you, as always, for your generosity.

That aspen shot might be the best I’ve ever seen Adam! Time is definitely my major constraint.

Your tips are a inspirational for self-reflection and overthinking how to experience photography. Thanks for sharing!

Your pictures are truly inspirational. I have to go back and watch all your videos. Looking forward to learning a lot from you.

Thanks for the tips! Lovely images throughout. I do post my photos to social media, but I also occasionally submit them to photo contests. I have printed some of them for people. My mom rents a table in a craft store for her crochet and she posts my photos for sale there as well. I've even printed a couple of calendars (for myself). I do things! :)

Stunning shots Adam never tire of seeing them.good advice throughout.

So many images I haven’t seen before! Wonderful. I am with you as the fun is in the hunt. I love finding the shot that no one else has. Thanks for all your vlogs.

Amazing! I really like the unique quality of your work. The aesthetic you've been able to make your own where the photo can be both sharp and soft at the same time is captivating! The restrained colours and mastery of capturing the qualities of the light available... man I'm jealous. The images speak for themselves: true mastery

I had to watch the video twice because the images were so brilliant. What a gift you have!

You guys are right, I’m a amature photographer in Gloucestershire, UK and I love the light hearted comedy from Gavin and how infectious he is when the 4 of you are out on a jolly. Keep doing what you are doing x

Wonderful advice the whole way through. So much common sense and inspiring detail. I'd seen most of those images previously but what a joy to look at them again whilst listening to the master.

Adam thank you for this video, it is one of the best I have come across. I learned so much from your words and in the 2 years I have been learning photography this video has made me think about what I can learn going forward. I’m 50 and have a late start but just love what photography has given to my life in 2 years and now I will keep this video and return to it often to give myself a reminder. I loved the pictures you posted throughout the video and can not wait to find and make those types of pictures for myself, they are not that far for me to visit living in Edmonton. Thank you again!

Wow. You have really outdone yourself. This video has been amazing. Thank you so much for having included so many of your own photographs for content and inspiration. I'm so proud of you for staying so humble. It really comes through on camera too.

Thank you for sharing your insights - they are so much more than mere 'tips'. For me, the most valuable reminders were to slow down, stop fussing about gear, look at the light, think about what I want to do with my images. I love the photographs you chose to accompany your thoughts. I find them all so very inspiring. I'm really looking forward to receiving your book and special edition print. Thank you again!

You can't even imagine how much I have enjoyed watching this video, Adam! Top notch photography education here!

Brilliant images to go with some really great advice. Thanks for sharing your time again Adam.

Great video Adam. Your tips are helpful and informative and the photos are absolutely gorgeous. After years of dabbling in photography in an off and on manner I've recently become much more serious about becoming more serious. Over the last few months I've watched many KZread vidoes by different photographers for inspiration and I find your images to be my favorites. They all seem to have a quality that I can't quite place my finger on yet they draw me in like a magnet. Others take pictures, you create art. Thanks!

Thank you Adam. I find that many of the tips (yours included) have benefitted me quite nicely when I am traveling. I just glanced at 24 images in an album from Budapest that are primarily snapshots. However, I remember at the time telling myself to take my time, look for pleasing light, remember the rule of thirds if it fit and leading lines. I don’t know if anyone else will notice but I did. Snapshots don’t have to be boring!

Old but gold! Loved the images. Great explanation. Loads of structure and storytelling in the images themselves. Really smooth throughout. Enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing Adam.

Great tips Adam ; ) Really appreciate your time sharing all this useful knowledge !!!

Your advice on go with the natural light is really helpful. I am also trying to slow down, and most of the time I can get better images than rushing myself

I don't normally like top tip videos but felt like you hit the nail on the head, definitely food for thought, thankyou.

I love the glasses and the content anyway. Thanks for inspiration!

LOVE seeing your work and combining it with your tips makes this video gold. Thank you.

Some great tips Adam. Love your channel. Like you I tend to look for the light before anything else. I think your options of finding good compositions in great light far exceed great natural compositions in poor light. Also I think you touched on something else really important. Even with the best gear on the best locations, the light or other elements may not work, but don't give up, find your composition and keep returning. At some point it will be perfect and that is something just magical. Love your images and you can see the work and patience you put into them

Thank you very much for all the advice. I will remember it all the next time I shoot. I quite enjoy watching you and Gavin and all the goofiness.

Excellent video Adam! Many thanks for sharing your tips. Love the images you shared in this video. Great collection. Cheers.

Man am I glad I found your channel. One of the best I have seen on KZread. Excellent work.

Thank you for putting this out it really helped. I have not been shooting that long and the way that you put these tips out was different than all the other videos that I have watched.

With so many photographers having KZread channels, yours hit the spot. Relatively new to what I call “conscious photography”. Enjoyed immensely. Focus on the skills of photography. Practical and common sense advise. Thank you.

love this video. i waited a long time to make my camera purchase, and in the time i waited, i did research, and got the perfect camera for me, which was the fujifilm x-t3. i need a wide and a long zoom, but other than that i'm quite satisfied. a good tripod, and a good 10-stop filter are pretty much all i carry with me. i'm really working on slowing down now and working on my compositions. beautiful pictures in this video. mesmerizing i would say.

I am new into landscape photography. And i watch a lot of videos related to landscape photography from a lot of talented photographers, to learn. But this has been one of the most useful and educational videos.

Brilliant non technical tips (the best kind). Particulalry liked the advice around taking your time and getting to know a place. Stunning collection of pictures.

Thanks for the inspiration. Those ice images and abstracts are phenomenal.

Beautiful video and wonderful insights! Probably the second best video ever made on the subject! Thanks for sharing all this imagery and information.

Worthwhile advice with a great collection of portfolio images. Rock on!

Stellar job Adam! Love the tips.

Thank you so much Adam for your Insightful tips and for promoting nature connectivity through photography

Really cool seeing so many of your pieces in one video, great work.

Your images are stunning. I have always appreciated how you show restraint in processing. I miss processing the actual film and the creative process in the darkroom. All great advice and tips Adam.

Awesome tipps... some of them I was able to learn myself, others I still embrace more. One of my best experiances was taking a large format photo course. It not only helps to slow down, but to look at your surroundings in a different way. search for the exact composition you wanna capture, before even taking out the camera.

Thanks Adam great tips,love your work,loving exploding photography and this beautiful plant,slowing it down and looking at light....yeh simple 🙏🏼🌈

stunning images Adam, keep up the great work

Brilliant video, excellent advice. Slowing down and chasing the light have made the most impact to my photography.

Great tips, thanks Adam, together with a truly beautiful selection of images. Quite simply inspiring!

Great tips and lovely photos. Slowing down and analyzing the light make amazing differences.

Adam, you are always an inspiration.

Always enjoy your photos!

Thanks for this helpful video and particularly for including many of your stunning images which, for me, contribute massively to tip number 6, “inspiration”. Love your videos.

Thanks, Adam, for one of the most thoughtful observations about the craft that I've heard.

Great videos Adam, much appreciated tips. Enjoyed your series on light as well.

Good review of tips and I especially liked the images included throughout the video as illustration and inspiration. Thanks.

Adam, thanks for the insights, they are very helpful. And especially thanks for the many photos of my homeland. I've been to many of the places you've photographed, so they brought back good memories.

Thanks for the tips Adam and of course the eye candy. Brilliant!

Fantastic video, honesty, sincere, accurate and generous ! Adam, you are an excellent communicator and I just say : Thank you for that . Of course, your photos are alway so beautiful !

That little tree on the rock in the water...... WOW. Good tips Adam. I so agree with you about gear.

Some of the best tips I have heard from any landscape photographer! Thanks Adam.

Food for thought!!....excellent tips

Hi Adam a really great video full of really useful tips and ideas and so easily explained, really enjoyed it , many thanks Ian

Tip number 1. “Slow down”. Amen to that. Probably the one that I’m most guilty of violating. Countless bad shots because I hadn’t taken the extra time to get everything dialed in before busting off a shot or two only to find something like exposure comp or ISO was off because of a previous shoot. Great to see the montage of your work roll by during the video. Brilliant stuff Adam. Cheers!

This is by far one of the best videos about landscape photography I've seen on KZread. Great advice about gear and other important aspects about light and the subject you are taking. Also about jpeg format I think if you get it right in camera you can get great results. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on landscape photography really great tips. All the best Adam. 👍👍👍👍👍

Incredibly beautiful images. Thank you also for the fantastic tips. Brilliant!!!

Absolutely majestic images!!!

Another great watch. Inspiring, every time.

Great tips. Thanks for posting them. I'm going to watch this video again, and this time I'll take notes. I have the problem of watching videos for information or instruction, then when I go out to put that information into practice I forget half or more of what I saw. So I think taking notes will help me a great deal. Thanks again for posting.

Really solid advice! I admire how both Gavin & yourself go to a location, take the "big vista" pic, then search around for smaller, more intimate vignettes to photograph and really work the location. I've been trying to do the same thing but find it difficult to find the smaller scenes. I guess I need to take one of your workshops to learn how to do this. Thanks again for sharing these tips! P.S., don't tell Gavin I said I admire him...his ego doesn't need any more inflation!

Always inspirational and these photos as usual are well beyond the next level ..... Bravissimo !

Totally enjoyable, instructive, and inspiring, Adam. You're an awesome photographer and instructor. In a way, you just proved that the 5-to-10 top tips genre of videos can work if you have something genuine to offer.

One of your best videos. Thanks.

Great tips Adam, I can watch and learn from you all day. Thank you!

Thank you! I get inspiration by watching your videos.

I never get fed up watching you videos Adam and really like all you photos, makes want to get out there and get that special photo 👍🏽

This must be one of the best photography videos on YT. Thank you!

Superb tuition as always. Thanks

What a treat this video was! My eyes have gorged themselves on eye candy! Wow you have some gorgeous images!

Just watched your video, and all of your tips were so helpful, watching your photographs was just breathtaking beautiful...thank you for doing this!

Excellent advice, Adam...thank you!

Terrific images throughout Adam along with your sound advice made for a great vlog cheers

Great tips and photos Adam thanks

Just GREAT advices repeated and substantiated. Honest and experienced. So true. Thank you.

Wow. Stunning images. Absolutely beautiful

I needed a video like this full of great tips. The images you showed are very inspirational. A great video thanks.

This is really good advice! I should watch this once a month😄 and wow, those images❤️😱😍

Methinks that there are some wise words in that 25 minutes. Who doesn't suffer from GAS on occasion? I defy anyone to say they have not done so even though they know it will not make them a better photographer. One of the better videos I have seen lately.

Another great video with really awesome tips.

Great tips Adam. Thank You!!

Very useful tips learned a lot can’t wait to see what you got on your next adventure
