The image of that arch what a show stopper. The music you chose too. Wow that Alpine glow crazy

Love the Black Hills, I go there often with my girls and they love exploring and then I go out all night and shoot.

That first morning photo was quite wonderful.

Excellent work, as always, Mr. Page. Damn... great shots, but my jaw hit the keyboard when I saw that early morning shot of Mt. Whitney!

Wow Nick, during my wonderings up and down "California's backyard" as I called it, Hwy 395, in the mid 70's I discovered a 55 mph dirt road off hwy 168 out of "Big Pine" that leads into Death Valley through the Saline Valley north of the National Park. It's about a 50 mile drive which passes an old house with an artisan spring, an old borax mine operation, and beautiful mountian vistas. I even stopped and saw a huge "American Eagle" above a revenue along side the road one time; really cool. If you haven't noticed yet the wild flowers are going to be great this year. Have a great time in DV.

I spent two terrific dawns and sunsets there in 2018. Can’t wait to get back!

I'm so jealous. As a 5'2" female, going into the desert alone, at night, is basically the beginning of a Criminal Minds episode. When I was hiking in the Black Hills alone, I would stop into ranger stations to let them know where I would be going, and then check back in when coming back. It goes without saying that your photography is amazing. I love that your vibe in these videos is always chill, but never blasé. You get excited. As well you should, this world is beautiful.

Is that area dangerous? Looks so peaceful.

Beautiful shots - I prefer the morning photos because they less harsh shadows and more structure in the rocks. The Alabama hills remind me on the rock formations at Joshua Tree National Park (although it’s now more than 10 years ago) also a photogenic area.

Love it out there!

Awesome as always Nick. Thank you for sharing.

"this is fun!" Exactly. Great images.

Thats what photography is all about. Solitude, nature, peace and quiet! Awesome, Nick!

Nick your story telling is outstanding !!

thank you nick

Even when conditions are mediocre in the Alabama Hills, it is still interesting to be there!

Awesome 😎 thank you for taking us with you...

What an amazing slice of country you have access too. So quiet during the night shoot. Thanks for sharing.

Love the video. Your astrophotography video a while back was the first video I saw from you and it led me to immediately subscribe. I’ve been following your adventures ever since! Side note - love the music choice for this video. Very appropriate to the calm, alien landscape

I couldn't agree with you more Nick. This winter in the PNW has seemed rather long and I cant wait to get back out here and do more shooting also. Great shots.

I was waiting for that comment :-) yes I recorded the clip before I went and put it out before I went and shot

Love both images but the night image is my favourite. Looks like a fantastic location that you could spend so much time exploring.

Great video Nick, I like the nighttime shots the best of the arch!! Those Sierra mountains look amazing, looking forward to the next part!!

Awesome shots Nick. I'm glad you are out shooting again. Love your videos.

Great choice of music for the scenery! Ready for t-shirt weather, happy spring!

What a cracking location, really feeling your love of that area, Nick! Thanks for a great watch!

Bravo Nick, superbe vidéo dans un paysage grandiose, vivement la suite.

Epic campfire/camp shots Nick.

That place looks breathtakingly beautiful. I think I could wander around there forever. As usual, your cinematography is world class.

Very cool images!

I love shooting at Alabama hills before going to DV and always end up around boot arch. I can definitely relate to your happy shooting night photography. Great video.

Officially added to the bucket list thanks to this great vid!

I love your videos and all these shots were very atmospheric and beautiful as usual.

Great video Nick ✊

Nice pics. Look forward to the next videos.

That was so great. Full of wonderful images and photo tips. I know what you mean about the creepiness of lone night time shoots as well. They really freak me out.

Great video, Nick. You got a couple of great shots.

Very enjoyable video! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much. I absolutely love watching you brother. Especially when it finally clicks in my head what your teaching. I cant run out the door fast enough with my camera lol. Dam good job Nick. Your doing great things. One day i would love to shake your hand and thank you properly . catch you on the next one. ATB The friend you don't know Joe 👊🏻

Nice video Nick! I've shot the Alabama Hills several times but never at night. Sunrises of the Sierra with the Hills in the foreground are cool.

Great work Nick. Your video production is really great too. Thanks

On the one hand I am envious, having grown up in the southwest. On the other, I know first hand the joys of finally getting out from under the grips of old man winter. I just finished a week long trip to Florida after a brutal winter here in Buffalo, NY. So nice to be in short sleeves for a change. Great shots, so much to photograph there.

Cool pictures 👍

Nick, forgot to add that a side trip to the Bristlecone Pine Forest above Big Pine would be worthwhile if you've never been there. Once heard it called a living petrified forest. Very surreal.

Very cool video, especially the night stuff, Nick!

Great video. You do such a good job of telling the story.

Hey Nick, I really enjoyed your video. The Alabama landscape looks like an amazing place to photograph and you got some great images

Greetings from France! This area looks amazing and my favorite one is definitely your sunrise shot, even if experiencing it at night must have been quite singular. Great video as always!

I was in Lone Pine ~13 years ago just passing through en route to Big Pine to spend the night there before heading to Mono Lake. I hadn't even heard of the Alabama Hills at the time; only found out about them after seeing them pop up in landscape photography videos. Can't believe I completely missed a chance to see them when I was quite literally already there.

I always enjoy your videos, Nick and this one reinforced what I already knew. See, I learned a long time ago that shadows work in mysterious ways. First they are revealing 0:13 and lastly that they are an important part of the overall composition 4:31. Keep up the good work!

I smiled through the entire video. Spring is here in Southern Utah. Being out all night is a pleasure, once you get over those first hours when the monster is waiting around every bush.

Loved the video, Nick! I too want to do a solo trip to Alabama Hills, and this video really motivated me.

Another well done video. I appreciate the care you put into creating these and love the style. It makes it feel more personal. As a fellow PNW-erner and landscape photographer, I'll also say if you ever need a wing-man, just give me a holler. My Hasselblad is packed up and ready to roll!

Nick, that area is some of my old stomping grounds before I moved to the PNW. Beautiful area, nice video. It is good to see you out shooting just for the pleasure of it.

I love tha Alabama hills!

Loving the new music Nick!

Your night vloging images are awesome. Incredibly moody and high quality ! 👌

Really enjoyed this one nick and it’s only when you start making vlogs yourself do you realise the effort that goes into shooting the small details, the B roll setting up the camera walking away, coming back to pick up the camera etc! And being able to piece together a story along with giving tips and advice and capturing great images! You nailed it In this one. Moonlit landscapes be give a whole new dimension to landscape photography!

I’m stunned at the incredible iso performance and low light clarity of your video camera!

Man awesome video. That area can get a little creepy at night lol. Excellent captures 👌

Wow! One of your best Nick just for the sheer joy of breaking out of the grips of Winter perhaps. I’ve got a serious case of Spring fever as do most PNW’ers I suppose. We’re not used to having snow on the ground this late into the new year. I like the night photography vlog as I haven’t really dived into it but would like to try it more. Looks like you were in a great place for it. Well done!

Hm, these sunrise clouds look awfully familiar! :) Looks like we photographed the same sunrise - different location, though. Even without the right clouds in the right spot, it was amazing! The alpenglow colors on the mountains were spectacular! Nice shots, Nick, and thank you and others for the inspiration to visit the Alabama Hills and get up early in the morning to catch the right moment!

Yep I think you improved on the arch at sunrise. That soft light in the foreground and that little bit of colour in the sky did the trick.

Great vid.. Loved the "creepy" night music.. Hope DV offers up some great light for you guys!

i love the moon light and your footage looks really cool, great job with filming in such a conditions.

Awesome you're teaming up with Erin man! She's awesome.

Nick, I like the morning shot the better.

I'm on the other side of the state from you and winter doesn't usually keep me from going out, but this one was a doozy. Like you, I'm so glad to be able to get out!

Wow, great video and photography! I really liked the shot at sunrise of the arch. Did I mention the Sierras in the background at night time?!? They were so beautiful. I would love to go there, but who wouldn't?

Long winter is right. I'm trying to get motivated to get out myself. Never been to that local but I'd be happy to be your wing man out there.

Great music choices.

Beautiful, love the way this was shot. Definitely worth the effort to shoot at night, thanks :D

alabama savage!

Living in Mammoth Lakes (105 quick miles from Lone Pine) The Alabamas are one of my favorite spots. So many places to shoot there at any time of year. (To those who camp in the hills... what you take in...pack it out!)

Yep, that’s Lone Pine Peak next to Mt Whitney. A stunning mountain range!

Best in the field KZread photographer , following you from yemen for almost 4 years

I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and it really has been a long winter in the PNW.

Nick, awesome as usual. Haven't been to Owens Valley since I was shooting film back in the early 1980s, pre-children. You should consider a workshop there. Based on the below comments, I suspect it would sell out in a heartbeat! Seems like fairly endless composition options!! See you at the post-processing boot camp in July. Looking forward to it. G

Great video Nick! I can step out my door, throw a rock and drop it in the Alabama Hills, but it's like a 5-hour drive. I hope to hit the area up later this year.

Great video Nick! What a beautiful landscape. My camera club just went out to shoot in the full moonlight this past weekend in the Everglades. Talk about a creepy place. Lots and lots of prehistoric beings to scare the beejezus out of you. I've been at night alone and every cricket, every frog, every nocturnal bird is making noise and it's soooo amplified, it'll drive you nuts! LOL Anyway... And LOVE that area in CA! I'm planning something for that place in the next few years. That's where Bogart filmed High Sierra! Awesome. Thanks for sharing with us!

Cool video

Great channel and beautiful images. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada

Nick I am so loving that Roof Tent. Day I say my wife and I are seriously considering getting something like this. Well either this or a Camper Van. That being said, absolutely love your videos man. Will definitely be sharing this. Hopefully you'll get to that 100K Subscribers by Christmas. Good show mate. Much respect.

Cool shots Nick. Think I like the morning shot better of the arch. Wish I had the cajones and the motivation to drive to such remote locations and shoot by myself. Never been to the Alabama hills. I thought it was close to Yosemite, which is more central Cali. Look forward to part 2.

yea, not close to Yosemite Valley. However, the east entrance from the Lee Vining side would be too bad a drive. But then it's still a couple of hours to the valley from there.

Your videos have helped to inspire me, got a new irex 15mm lens on the way and now I need to re-shoot everything I shot last year 😭

Love shooting in the Alabama Hills! We Southern Californians might quibble a bit as Lone Pine is more "Central California." Outside of Joshua Tree, most of us true Southern Californians need to do some serious driving to get to something decent to shoot. We've got some small stretches of coast and some dunes down near San Diego, but the pickings are pretty slim. Most of us spend the majority of the year being jealous of you Oregon/Washington people. We average two nice sunsets per year. Looking forward to seeing your Death Valley shots!

Couldn't agree more William. Add to that the endless blue skies...I find myself heading out to DV and Kelso Dunes quite a lot. And of course the Alabama Hills and Southern Sierra. Anywhere out of LA basically.

8:14 Im getting The Revenant flashbacks... Loved that movie...

Nice video Nick. Still need to get down to Alabama Hills to shoot. If you ever come up towards Lake Tahoe, I'd be stoked to get out and shoot together. Just let me know!

One of my favorite areas to visit. I know that you will be with Erin for the next week or so, however after the workshop over DV way, if you have time you may want to consider a day or two trip towards the west and see if you can get some of the spectacular wildflowers blooms coming in. About 300 miles SW of Bishop is a often missed but very nice NP at Carrizo Plains National Monument. The blooms are coming in and after you are done at DV the timing may be perfect for a possible Super Bloom. Give it consideration if you time allows. Safe travels and much success on the upcoming Workshop. Enjoy Panamint Dunes area since it appears you may end up doing a night over that area.

I talked to the Carrizo Plain NM employee yesterday and the bloom is not in full swing yet. If you are not familiar with Theodore Payne Foundation they publish a weekly update on the bloom plus a podcast. theodorepayne.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFH-WEBtext-3-15.pdf

Nick, I'm with you on walking the desert at night. It's a real invite to the "heebie-jeebies!" The concept of short sleeve shooting has been an alien concept for a few months, bring it on... Thank-You, Mike

Good video.

Unreal how good your video is, considering you shot it at night without lights (or so it seems).

Nick in about 17 months I’ll be retired...I’ll hang with you and do some night photography. I’m a bow hunter and used to getting to a stand at night...I love it. I’m 6’1 225 so I think between the two of us the night creatures might stay away. Anyway I really enjoy the videos..be careful on the rocks.

The Alabama Hills are on my bucket list and hopefully I'll get there this year. But, aren't you ascared of aliens, monsters, and cryptids ripping into your tent while you're in there and having them pull you out to do strange things to you? My greatest fear is to be framing up a subject and then turn around just to be face to face with some spider like....THING....that'll bite me in the face causing me to become paralyzed and then having the creature suck all the juices out of my body while I'm helplessly immobile but still awake! Good video. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to visit an area and to just get one or two shots a session.

Nice video. I know what you mean about ‘things that go bump in the night’ when you are alone. Happened to me at Yellowstone, and I was sure I was going to be eaten by a bear.

My man. I'm getting a little tent like that for my ford excursion. Very awesome!!!

Its interesting how you said you were creeped out. During the day the rocks look like demon faces being tortured. I was seriously creeped out. The rocks are like from another planet. Mt Whitney is beautiful. The Landscape is so bussy and the color dosnt varry, wide shots are diffucult. Interesting that old westerns were shot there along with the Long Ranger. Love your videos... Big fan!

This by far has been my favourite video. This is what I love to do as well, the moon is my best light painting tool! You spoke of most of your settings, but did not mention ISO. With the moon out as such, i would drop my ISO to about 400 to keep the clarity and sharpness, just curious on yours.

Nice work as usual. You're right about a crappy winter. I'm visiting my son in Wenatchee, WA and there is still a boatload of snow still on the ground. Question about your mounting plate with lever latch. Who makes it? TFS

No need to worry about the lighting at night. It was perfect, a torch or lamp is not required as the darker look makes the video more real!

Thomas Heaton, Nigel Danson, and now Nick Page. I love KZread!

One of my favorite spots on earth. I have walked at night, many times, in that area and I find myself laughing at how weird it can feel when your brain starts with the " hills have eyes stuff". Part of the fun I suppose...
