    Editing plays such a role in those forest photos (which are great, also well composed). If I took photos there, they would not have the impact these do due to my lacklustre editing skills - must learn!

    I have done this exact trip a few times before and it never gets old. Start in Quinault, then up to the Hoh rainforest, then sunset at Ruby beach, it's different almost every time and I can't get enough! Thank you for these lovely shots, they capture the feeling so much better than my mobile! ^__^ 100% my favourite place on earth.

    @jrodewald2010 6 років тому +1

    Man, that place looks amazing! Really solid advice on composition and shooting in the forest,thank you. Agreed, when that sky is bright it gets crazy contrasty up high even while you're in good shape down low. So looking forward to our wet Northeast Spring now!

    I was out there last weekend and had the same issue with the sun. Hiked up the Hoh trail in nothing but sun. No photos to be had with all the shadows and bright spots. Still able to get some awesome shots around Lake Crescent and the Quinault. No clouds at the beach though so I didn't stay.

  • @kevindickinson3600
    @kevindickinson3600 6 років тому

    Hi Nick, if you like moss covered trees, found in temperate rainforest, you'd really love a place like Tasmania. Look up places like Mount Field National park, or the Tarkine. Mount Field would be great for you as access is really easy. You don't have to hike very much to see the big trees. In mainland Australia, you also have places like that. The main one is called the Otways, about 2 hours West of Melbourne. This region is mainly known for the Great Ocean Road and the oceanscapes, but the Otway forest is nonetheless magnificent with great waterfalls, and lush forests. It is the rainiest place in Victoria.

    I can't tell you the number of times I've walked into a PNW forest and am soon thinking "Where's the shot? All I see is mossy chaos." Your tip about using a longer focal length to isolate one area will be useful. Thanks!

    Wonderful, Nick! I’ve been to both areas several times. You picked an awesome time to go to the rainforest. The summer and fall months are pretty dry so not too much very green moss. Great lesson in composition especially in the messy forest, now I can’t wait to go back again.

    Nick: If you ever want to visit a very different type of environment, I suggest you make a trip to Southeast Texas, to the Big Thicket Biological Preserve. It's a series of swamp type federally protected ecosystems that, thanks to the work of one concerned naturalist is still here today. I stopped here on my way back from New Orleans in 1968, and sent several days.

      In this video I had my Shimoda 60L bag. I have both the 40L and 60L bags from shimoda, and this was the maiden voyage of the 60L. I think the 40L is probably the better bag for most photographers out there though.

    Thank you for your video. I love living so close to the Olympic National Park. I moved to Whidbey Island in 2019 so I haven’t been able to go back since moving here from the Hood Canal Bridge area. I will be going to Olympic, Mt Rainier, Mount Saint Helens, and North Cascades within the next five months so your video has helped me to try and improve my amateur photography. I was wondering if you could share the link to your backpack and tripod used in this video? The link shared for the tripod isn’t valid when I click on it. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for sharing Nick. You had a uniquely beautiful sky at Ruby Beach. The Hall if mosses never disappoints. One of my favorite locations in the entire park. We had a similar itinerary back in September. I think off all National Park in Washingston St Olympic is my favorite because of its diversity. North Cascades definitely makes you hike and work for any image. Cheers.
