    Well, I don’t think you needed to worry at the end about not getting any decent shots on the second visit!
    They were all very ethereal, but the one with Tom in the landscape, and I think the one after, with the River and vibrant green in top right, were my faves. I really liked the processing too where you’d brought out the colours. Stunning Landscape!

    Hi Adam, I own a BH-55 ball head, which I cannot carry for most places or trips because of weight. Do you think this CTC Highline Small ball head is equally good as BH-55. My biggest concern usually with ball heads is the minor drift each time you lock the ball head and take your hands off the camera. Also we do you plan to review it?

  • @SD_Alias
    @SD_Alias 3 роки тому

    Really great pictures. I never have been there. it must be so good to have the opportunity. In some of the processed pictures the steam is a bit too bright and harsh for my taste. half a step back to RAW so that a bit more softness is in the steam would be better.
    But it is a matter of taste. Ask 10 people you probably get 10 opinions. Really great pictures anyway…

    Hi Adam, lovely set of images. I noticed you’re using the Shimoda Explore bag instead of the Action X bag, do you have a preference on one over the other, and if so, what features would influence your choice? Thanks

    • @QuietLightPhoto
      @QuietLightPhoto  3 роки тому +1

      Hard to say, both are really great bags. If I had to choose I would probably go with the Action X since I really like the roll-top and the pocket on each side for tripods since I carry two.
