I've always been amazed at your skill at finding compositions in the chaos that a forest offers. It was fun watching you deal with the overwhelm of a new place and yet, still find pleasing compositions.

Wow just wow!! So beautiful!!

I actually prefer the raw file at ~13:56 to the processed image which I find too flat. I would push on the blacks and pull on the whites to get even more contrast, then add a touch of haze to the light beams and reduce clarity just a bit to soften them up.

Wow and wow and wow!!! Breathtaking!

Great shots Adam! Love your work, and your videos. (Haven't heard "hodge podge" in awhile, made me smile) I really loved these, as usual for you, and hopefully you get back there. Regetfully, I didn't get to meet you at Newport Out of Oregon, I attended the second group. It was one of the reasons I signed up for the conference! Someday I want to come up to Vancouver Island, I only live about 25 miles from the border at the Peace Arch. And so now I'm going to look up any workshops you are offering.

Hey Squarespace ! thanks for sponsoring this guy's video presentation :)

Dang; those last two shots really made the trip worth while. Gobsmacked.

So Breathtakingly beautiful

Beautiful pictures indeed 😊💜🧡

couple months ago i was walking in the forest near coast in southern Finland in area that i rarely visit and there was those foggy "clouds"coming from the sea. This video is like a waking call what u can do with this stuff😳Wow.

A very nice trip in a superb Forest!... and some great Photos.

Absolutely amazing!

The light beams were magical Adam so glad you got them before the long drive back.

Thanks so much Adam... You hit a pot of gold on this shoot... Around the 14 minute mark, with the darker foreground & those beams of light just exploding outwards, then you upped the exposure a bit & I loved those comps too! All the best, Bill... :~)

Again Adam, some outstanding photography...... thank you for sharing.

What a great set of pictures from this area. One thing I like about your channel is that you show the RAW file then your edit. I really like to pause the video at the RAW and work out what I would do with it. I am often surprised by your edit which is quite different to mine. I suppose this demonstrates how personal photo editting can be. Long may we see things differently for that makes for an interesting world. Thanks for the video. PS Your refernce to 5 hour drives sets in context the size of your country.

That photo 2:15 mark is indeed beautiful. Question Adam - when taking such a photo should one be focusing on the farthest point in the composition? Please guide.

Great vlog. That shot with the 24mm lens was spectacular.👍

But is good to know you thought they were beautiful, especially coming from a person that practically lives in the well-forested regions and sees big trees all the time! Please come back, and bring Brian, or even that scoundrel His Lordship Gavin (if he ever returns).

Adam, I'm trying to learn, some questions: 8:11 Why ISO 800 and not a lower ISO with longer shutter speed? Too much wind/movement in the shot? But then again, one second would already show that anyway? 8:38 That shot, same conditions as at 8:11 (?) is at ISO 100 again, 8 seconds. Judging by the exposure, more or less the same effective EV? 13:26 Why ISO400 and not ISO100? 1/20s is not that slow? 13:57 Same question, why ISO400, not ISO100? Thanks! All of your images in this video are absolutely spectacular.

ISO 800 1 sec. Sean can't keep still for longer than 1sec. The second shot has no Sean, and no wind, so the longer shutter works fine. 13:26 we had some wind, so I needed a slightly faster shutter. 13:57, same as the last shot
