First rate instruction .... really well presented. I am constantly reminded that post production is equally as important as production.

Another wonderful video, thank you. I always look forward to your posts and you never disappoint. As a New Englander who enjoys the beauty of water and woods, I look forward to visiting Vancouver Island with my camera someday soon because of you.

Thanks, Mark! glad to have you come and visit our neck of the woods.

Im a photographer in a wheelchair and like landscape photography. your panaramic image has inspired me as landscape photography can be frustrating as you can imagine going up mountains and on beaches is not ideal but panaramic wood land looks alot easier. Thanks again 👍

The last image, the pano, was spectacular. The composition, the color, the quality of light, amazing. I like that you limited the composition vertically (less was more). Nice work.

What a great way to enjoy my morning coffee! The size of those trees is breathtaking! I love shooting my 14-24 but it definitely is the most challenging of my lenses to compose a scene with. I enjoyed hearing your thought process! The pano at the end was amazing and immersive. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris! I love wandering around old growth forest, one of my favourite environments.

That whole perspective shift while you're talking about lens differences was pretty trippy, and also really effective at demonstrating the point you're explaining. Super cool how you did that so seamlessly!

Very much enjoyed Adam. The topic of compression using a long lens is a subject I've viewed on other channels. However, your contribution on using a wide vs long lens adds an enhanced level to my understanding and development as a photographer. These focused tutorials help me immensely so many thanks for the time and quality you put into them. Glorious setting!

Good to know, thanks, Miguel! Always fun to put together.

The light in that part of the world is epic. I spent five months in Whistler a long time ago and still remember the ethereal quality of forest. I half expected to see elves, gnomes and such flitting through the trees. The pano especially showed the general atmosphere I remember so well. I don't know how much editing you did on that but I would guess it really wasn't too much. It's a gorgeous shot and I think spot on with what the forest is like. P.S. I just went back and stopped the video to just stare at the pano. All I can say is WOW!

I'm truly loving your insights offered on this channel :) Thanks, Adam!

Fabulous way to show, practically, the wide angle vs compressing of bigger lenses. I only learnt this myself a year or so ago and it’s really enhanced my choices and compositions.

I can’t get out enough to practice. This video was better than great. We able to see what your photographing and your thought process. Thank you thank you.

Fantastic Adam! So thorough in your teaching! Beautiful finished images!

Such a stunning area you live in Adam and your photos really do it justice. Very interesting to hear your thought on the use of different focal lengths and to see examples. Always look forward to your vlogs, thank you!

Having only recently stumbled across your channel, I have to say how impressed I am with your work. Enjoyable content and informative with some fantastic images. I will now be a regular watcher. Keep up the good work Adam. Subscribed.

Thank you. Also loved your pano. I've been viewing the past 4-5 videos and want to bring up a topic different than the focus of this video. I'd be interested if you would consider a video on how you go about determining the "composition" design of your fade/desolves, from one scene to the next. They are very nice, and I find subliminally gives the viewer a hint (composition- and subject-wise) of what the next scene will be.

Thank you, I am learning more and more about finding compositions. That last photo looks so much like a Renaissance painting.

Enjoyable vid, Adam - thank you! Didn't think the pano looked too promising at first, but you sure proved me wrong - great shot!

Lovely presentation as usual. I much appreciate your step by step, clear articulation of your main points. And the cinematography is a treat on top of the photographic excellence. I have bookmarked this video to watch again! - I do like it when you use a somewhat affordable camera system, as it allows for the easier comprehension and application of your info to my own shooting.

Love your videos. Delivered in such a great down to earth style. Thanks!

Nice demonstration of the lens effects on composition, Adam. At first I did agree about the chaotic quality of the pano, but your management of the light really made it an attractive and appealing image. I agree with Michael...you really do have some awesome landscapes to work with and make the most of them for sure.

Another episode where you have me thinking intently again. I started with a wide angle lens, now I have a long lens as well. I have found they are both useful depending on what I am trying to capture. You examples were perfect. Giving words for some feelings I've had. I see that I need to be more thinking in my photography than just feeling. Although feeling is what I get from photography, capturing my moments, or attempting to capture them. Thanks again.

Brilliant explanation and inspiration, Adam. Those first two shots wide and tele really bring home the difference the lengths make (it's not quite the same shooting my living room two different ways :) ) and I'd never have thought of shooting an intimate panorama, just always thought of them as for big vistas. Seeing what you get on a dark, wet day leaves me no excuse but to to go out and shoot. Superb video.

Very enjoyable video and thought provoking. I walked pass an interesting tree last weekend on a shoot but didn’t think there was a picture in it. I will be looking harder from now on. Enjoying your videos very much, please keep them coming.

Thanks, Richard! Is the 11mm full frame? wow, that's wide.

Very interesting comparison of the effect of both lenses, and very nicely illustrated with those examples. I always find it difficult to choose which lens to shoot with, and generally end up using the wide (I guess it’s easier) but my aim is to learn how to use the telephoto a bit more. Thanks for the lesson Adam! PS: the pano looks fab, well worth returning in autumn, eh?! ; )

Awesome video. Amazing shots !

Thank you for explaining the different shots i.e. 14-24 24-120, nice photos both

It's amazing how an ultrawide can be utilized for a relatively intimate landscape shot. It just emphasises lines that suck the eyes through the photo. I love my Tamron 10-24mm on my D3200 (the ultra-budget version of your set up). The pano was lovely, but actually the first UW shot was my favourite. Try a fisheye in the forest.... now there's some fun images!
