Don't apologize for the long video Adam. I really enjoyed it, and It was over before I knew it. Beautiful pictures as always. Your pictures and that music playing in the background go together so well. It's very healing and soothing for the soul.
Nope. Didn't fall asleep! Stayed with it right to the end and thoroughly enjoyed the video! People (who aren't photographers) think I'm nuts when I tell them one of the main things I like to photograph is trees!
I like that you are showing the RAW file after the processed one. It is quite helpful and also surprising how much detail is really present in a dark scene.
What a stunningly beautiful place, no wonder you were mellowed out! The variety and range of shades of green in that landscape is mindboggling, it defines the word lush ! Thanks for sharing Adam, cheers.
Hey Adam... I REALLY love the way you show your raw files AND your processed images in your vlogs. As one who is still learning, it's especially helpful to see what you see originally, and then how your vision of it progresses to a finished product! Thanks!! 😎
Man those tranquil intros are so relaxing. Great for the morning porcelain. Nice to see a new corner of Vancouver Island and digging the branded touque mate!! Those layers at 12:50 and the red sun, wow!!
If you are going to keep tackling a composition, then that is a good one to play with. Obviously it changes a bit over the years and the light is different every time. I loved them all. I will be in the Rockies with you in spirit my friend. Cheers.
Beautiful forest pictures. You inspired me to venture out to the challenging and cluttered forest scenes and make pictures there. Cheers to you and your art.
Really liked the last two images towards the end of the video not the last one but the one 10 years was definitely better. Nice Kuhl sweater by the way!
You are...the Tolkein of old growth forest imagery! I don’t know how else to describe it. You manage to capture and create such a depth of atmosphere and interest. That sunset was also on another level. Thank you for continuing to inspire.
Beautiful photos as always, one of these days will make it up to Vancouver Island to enjoy some of the beautiful scenery. Have a safe trip to the Rockies and look forward to you next videos. Thank you once again
Great video, as always! I really enjoy your calm approach and the way you´re able to convey the stillness and peace of those magnificent forests! The images are also beautiful! Take care
What a great relaxing end to a weekend. Your forest videos are an inspiration,relevant wherever you live. Time you were signed up by the Canadian tourist board, you sell your Island well.[Vancouver Island,not the whole continent!!] Love the shot with shaft of light coming between the two trees.
Came across your video, then I checked your website. Gotta say I don't comment much on youtube videos, but I had to! Your pictures are out of the ordinary. I was in awe only by looking at them.
Top drawer images as always Adam. You are very fortunate to live in one of the most stunning parts of the world. Keep 'em coming. ( ps. Gavins such a nice boy isn't he )
I love it when you explain how you go about choosing what you are about to shoot. Yet, every photo in this video came as a surprise to me because after hearing you downplay the result of your careful compositions, what immediately followed was sort of a shock, another simply stunning photo. Videos like this one are what is so special about your channel. Many thanks.
Great video, your explanations of the scenes you are visualizing will help me think a little more when shooting similar scenes. My sister lives out there, so I will be inviting myself back.
Just moved to Vancouver Island from the UK two days ago... Partly through inspiration from yourself and Gavin. I can't wait to explore the likes of this forest when I make it out west.
Hey Adam, one more interesting video with good How-to tips. See you with the shimoda in the latest videos. What about a "what's in my new shimoda bag" video? My interest is how you arrange your (known) gear in that new bag.
I did make it to the end, always delighted to watch you capture the subtle beauty of any scene, especially forests. There is so much beauty around us in the Earth but it takes your kind of perspective to bring it our attention. Thanks Adam!
That picture of the sunset from your campground with the layers in the peaks and the red sun was absolutely gorgeous. I'd buy a print of that and hang it on my wall for sure. The photo of the trees at about 18:30 are so whimsical - love it! And I only dozed off because I went for a walk this morning in my neighborhood to do some long-overdue photography and I'm a bit knackered. :) The music you always select is so very mellow ... :)
Thanks for sharing Adam, I certainly learn a lot and gain inspiration from your vlogs. I have been to Carmanah once last year and it was beautiful, I recognize that camp site. I plan on going again this year maybe next month.
Beautiful video, enjoyed hearing your thoughts on what makes a shot for you. But most of all, i enjoyed the shoes. Thought it was something else at first. And wow! Image at 15:35!!!
Your forest shots are a real inspiration. I know how challenging it is to find a composition that works because I have never succeeded. But, yours are lovely.
Adam, The gentle light ratio in that forest is quite appealing to me. I love those conditions of subtle light direction and saturated palette. Looking at these photos, I expect a forest creature, perhaps a deer or elk, to emerge. The work is alive! Thank-You, Mike
The pano was absolutely perfect in every way , just like being there . I miss these peaceful , informative videos from you . Gavin is a hoot but learn so much more from these !
Excellent video, Adam! BTW, I really like your new “Quiet Light” stocking cap for your “Adam Only” videos... it is sharp and it is “all you.” It makes for good separation of characters. On the other hand, I very much enjoy your collaborations with Gavin where “Uncle Grumpy” emerges in full force (complete with Uncle Grumpy stocking cap). Two different styles of videos, both entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work.
Adam, I absolutely enjoyed this...beginning to end. When I think of Adam Gibbs this is just what I think about. Quiet and calm with beautiful images. Thanks Adam! Nick
Adam, beautiful images and thanks for running us through all details in those shots. I enjoyed the video thoroughly till the end and not for once felt it was longer than usual. Your presentation style and those spontaneous talks makes it lively. Thank you is a very small word for taking time to create such rich content and continuing to inspire me.
Ya, some chimes at the end to alert the sleepy viewer that it's over would be nice. :^) The sunset shot with the layers and layers of hills - my personal hot button. Love those shots. Not that the tree shots are not moving, I'm just particularly moved by the hills. Sigh, really need to find a way to get up there and do some shooting and hiking.
Would love to see you edit one of these old growth scenes , beginning to end . I have many shots from similar areas in the PNW but find them challenging to edit to convey what I saw and felt .
Lovely images...nailed the feeling I have when I'm in forests such as Carmanah...you can feel the peace, the tranquility and the ages...thanks for taking us along.
Adam, as always a great video. Even leaving your long lens at home, you obviously didn't need it. That was a great shot of the layers of distant mountains and sunset. I really enjoy getting to see your older work compared to current work as you showed with that last composition. Thank you for the content you produce and share with us, your audience.
I, too, have watched the entire video Adam. And I did it with great pleasure and have enjoyed all the time what you have shown us. Thank you for the valuable tips too ... keep it up!
I have truly enjoyed all your videos! I did not know that someone would have to have their chest waxed with three hairs on it! Hmmm... Oh, the pic of you riding the eagle was truly.... something...
The world of Adam Gibbs is beautiful 👌
Loving your back catalogue, Adam. 🦘👍
Completely luminous light. Just beautiful.
Don't apologize for the long video Adam. I really enjoyed it, and It was over before I knew it. Beautiful pictures as always. Your pictures and that music playing in the background go together so well. It's very healing and soothing for the soul.
Great video. I can imagine why you are the landscape photographer of the year.
That sunset photo at 12:32 is incredible!
Mads Peter Iversen thanks Mads!👌🏻
Nope. Didn't fall asleep! Stayed with it right to the end and thoroughly enjoyed the video! People (who aren't photographers) think I'm nuts when I tell them one of the main things I like to photograph is trees!
Sunset image was gorgeous Adam 👍👍👍👍 Love your videos✌
Have a great trip to the Rockies !!!! Have a great light!!!
I like that you are showing the RAW file after the processed one. It is quite helpful and also surprising how much detail is really present in a dark scene.
The forest is amazing but absolutely loved the sunset scene.
What a stunningly beautiful place, no wonder you were mellowed out! The variety and range of shades of green in that landscape is mindboggling, it defines the word lush ! Thanks for sharing Adam, cheers.

Awesome, thank you!
Man those tranquil intros are so relaxing. Great for the morning porcelain. Nice to see a new corner of Vancouver Island and digging the branded touque mate!! Those layers at 12:50 and the red sun, wow!!
Greg Snell glad you found a comfy spot to watch Greg🤡🎉
Another Gem from start to finish.
If you are going to keep tackling a composition, then that is a good one to play with. Obviously it changes a bit over the years and the light is different every time. I loved them all. I will be in the Rockies with you in spirit my friend. Cheers.
Yes you will be missed James
Beautiful view of the old trees at about 9:40 mark... and the 24-120 did a real sweet job on the sunset too... really enjoyed, right to the end...
Nice video,the trees whispering on your compositions.Simply amazing..
Beautiful forest pictures. You inspired me to venture out to the challenging and cluttered forest scenes and make pictures there. Cheers to you and your art.
I am so pleased I have finally found your photography - even if it was via Gavin - renewed inspiration from the artful way you interpret beauty.
Really liked the last two images towards the end of the video not the last one but the one 10 years was definitely better. Nice Kuhl sweater by the way!
Another great photography adventure! Thanks for the information Adam.
You are...the Tolkein of old growth forest imagery! I don’t know how else to describe it. You manage to capture and create such a depth of atmosphere and interest. That sunset was also on another level. Thank you for continuing to inspire.

Another good old growth forest video. Love these.
I just love your videos. Utterly fantastic.
Very nice woodland photography Adam, well done.
Great video, as always! I really enjoy your calm approach and the way you´re able to convey the stillness and peace of those magnificent forests! The images are also beautiful! Take care
Breathtaking.

Great video I can't wait to visit an old growth myself.
Beautiful shots Adam, I just love the way you edit your woodland shots. Very inspiring
PhotoNinja hey thanks Tom!
almost fell asleep not due to your video but the fact that i was up shooting my vlog at 4a.m. lol great shots Adam!!!
You are very good I must say stunning photos and I saw was trees
Beautiful pictures, Adam
Top drawer images as always Adam. You are very fortunate to live in one of the most stunning parts of the world. Keep 'em coming. ( ps. Gavins such a nice boy isn't he )

Great video, your explanations of the scenes you are visualizing will help me think a little more when shooting similar scenes. My sister lives out there, so I will be inviting myself back.
I enjoyed it. Forgive me for saying, but these rain forests, I feel, are your forte, and my favorite subject.
Glad you are back home.
Mary L Scaia me too
You are the best YES YOU ARE !!
Just moved to Vancouver Island from the UK two days ago... Partly through inspiration from yourself and Gavin.
I can't wait to explore the likes of this forest when I make it out west.
Tom Strawbridge you say that like it’s a good thing😂😂 congrats on your move, I think?
Honestly I enjoy the longer videos. Like to grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy being inspired. Thanks for the work you do to put out these videos.
The Tree Whisperer strikes again, and the sunset/hill layering ain't too shabby either!
Gorgeous images.
Thumbs up Adam... always enjoy your comps... ;)
Definitely a "really enjoyed" rather than "fell asleep" one :-) Beautifully atmospheric photos Adam.
12:32. That sunset, very nice. Beautiful photos, but that sunset does it for me. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful shot at 18:26.
I love a good rim lighting.
The lights and darks are so good. I also enjoy your super smooth video moves. Really great work Adam.
Great to see the tree whisperer at work! Beautiful shots Adam. I really enjoy the longer videos as well.
That sunset is gorgeous - feels like you can see the Sun slowly gliding down to the horizon.
My great inspiration for photography👌

Beautiful video, enjoyed hearing your thoughts on what makes a shot for you. But most of all, i enjoyed the shoes. Thought it was something else at first. And wow! Image at 15:35!!!
The shot with the highlighted mist between the tree trunks near the end of the video defines quiet light for me. Very nice!
Michael Vail he lives up to that slogan for sure!
Those forests... Jealous factor 1000... Thanks for sharing these awesome places, Adam.
There is no question that I would stay until the end. Awesome photography. Always the best.
John Rayner I second this comment
Agreed!
Your forest shots are a real inspiration. I know how challenging it is to find a composition that works because I have never succeeded. But, yours are lovely.
Lovely video Mr Grumps , what a stunning location , love the images you got , beautiful light on those trees
Those last two images... just wow.
Adam,
The gentle light ratio in that forest is quite appealing to me. I love those conditions of subtle light direction and saturated palette. Looking at these photos, I expect a forest creature, perhaps a deer or elk, to emerge. The work is alive!
Thank-You,

Mike Mitchell definitely a great example of what quiet light is.
Great video Adam.
The pano was absolutely perfect in every way , just like being there . I miss these peaceful , informative videos from you . Gavin is a hoot but learn so much more from these !
Adam, I'm always amazed at how much you're able to accentuate a forest photo. Love it.
Excellent video, Adam! BTW, I really like your new “Quiet Light” stocking cap for your “Adam Only” videos... it is sharp and it is “all you.” It makes for good separation of characters.

So enjoyed this video Adam. It felt like I was sitting in the forest for a 20 minute meditation . Beautiful !
Adam, I absolutely enjoyed this...beginning to end. When I think of Adam Gibbs this is just what I think about. Quiet and calm with beautiful images. Thanks Adam! Nick
Still awake 😂! I love the last scene with the sunbeam coming through the trees - so beautiful 😍
Nice stuff. That sunset layer shot with the red sun is a home run... 👍🏻
That was lovely - back to my favourite habitat - old growth forest, and Adam Gibbs at his best.
Wendy Newing he is a master in the forest!
Bephotos, beautiful forest
Adam, beautiful images and thanks for running us through all details in those shots. I enjoyed the video thoroughly till the end and not for once felt it was longer than usual.

What a nice forest and the last image was great 😍

I, too, have watched the entire video Adam. And I did it with great pleasure and have enjoyed all the time what you have shown us. Thank you for the valuable tips too ... keep it up!
Hans Brongers I think he provides the most valuable tips. Always very well spoken and broken down.
Glorious, felt as though I could reach through the screen and touch those trees. Thanks for the video.
I have truly enjoyed all your videos! I did not know that someone would have to have their chest waxed with three hairs on it! Hmmm... Oh, the pic of you riding the eagle was truly.... something...
Thank you!
Lovely images, Adam. Another great video 👍🏼. How people can dislike this video is beyond me 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Stunningly gorgeous location and images. This installment is very inspiring. I could put this one on loop all day...
Man that 24-120 F4 is a POS! So I got it in the kit with my own d850... and you're a big part of the blame! Nice shooting, Sir Grumpalot!!
You said it was a long video like that is a bad thing. Quite the contrary Adam, it was captivating and I thought it was perfect. Well done!
Stunning images as always Adam. Looks like you've blagged a new backpack too... 👍🇬🇧
Yes a Shimoda Explorer 60, great bag very comfy
I really really like your forest photography...so moody - good job Adam
I really enjoyed it!
Loved this video Adam. All your Images were lovely and your horizontal pano at 15:40 and the one at 18:38......what can one say except Wow!!!
Beautiful images! So well done. And the music was wonderful accompaniment. Thank you.
Superb as always Adam. Always like hearing your thought process on composition. Awesome work. Cheers and atb Graham 👍
How could i fall asleep. Great video and shots!
Stunning images Adam. I really appreciate the effort that goes into these beautiful and informative videos.
Doug Sanderson I definitely support this statement. I was just telling someone else that he is extremely informative and well explained.
