  • In this video, I travel down to the California redwoods and photograph some impressive trees, beautiful trees with light beams, and the odd rhododendron.

    Late to the party here as I've been busy. You're such a beast at this man, the way you craft your compositions is such a joy to watch. Loved the intro video with the deer as well. Such a beautiful area and you have truly shown us beauty.

    Beautiful images! I like trying to guess whether or not you are going to crop, and if so, where you will. My "hit rate" is increasing, which means that you are having an influence in how I view a scene. Thank you for that!

    Thanks for sharing the light. Fog = dew point the same as the temp. Or really close. Maybe the temp over the water was cooler or warmer being pretty close to the dew point at the time. Happy shooting.

    Adam, I enjoy looking at your photos. They have such an ethereal quality to them. The redwoods are tremendous and majestic tress and the light rays enhance their majesty. Are you happy with the way Lightroom Classic processes your Fujifilm RAW files? Do you use any RAW processor first, like DxO PureRaw before bringing them into LrC? Thanks.

    I've been spending almost every Wednesday morning at Hollister House Gardens and the one thing I've learned the past few (very sunny) trips is that dark oiled cotton just doesn't cut it in those circumstances and what I really need is a light colored wide brimmed well ventilated straw 'Quiet Light' garden hat. ;-7
    PS: Fabulous light!

    Sir Adam Gibbs,
    I'm looking into getting some Magnetic Filters and I'm looking at the Kase Wolverine based on solely on your usage.
    I have two questions ; are you Sponsored by Kase and is there a discount by using your name.
    Thank you

    I was worried that your earlier van troubles had ruined your plans to go to the redwoods. So glad you got there anyway, and I hope there's more videos to come from California. There's just nothing like a redwood forest.

    Very nice Adam. It'd be nice if you made this an annual trip to the Redwood forest even though I know it's a far drive for you. I live an hour north of San Francisco and we have Redwood trees and groves here too but not in such abundance as farther up the state like where you were at. Grateful to live among these majestic trees. Thanks for the video.

    • @QuietLightPhoto
      @QuietLightPhoto  Рік тому

      Yes that would be great. It's not really much further for me than driving to the Rockies so it may be an annual trip.

    Adam, are you in Crescent City in this video? I saw you or your double at the Japanese Garden in Portland Oregon on Saturday. Too late, I realized I should have called for Adam to see if it was you. The hair seemed too short to be confident, but seeing this video - I am thinking it really could have been you, there by the Mt Hood Lookout in the garden!

I can’t believe how you stay so calm when making the video with awesome light like that in the background. We can all learn from your advice about scouting the area and getting to know it in different weather conditions. Top work as usual.😎
