This was really a great episode with lots of actionable tips that will be useful for photographers of all skill levels. It has me looking forward to future content. One photographer you did not mention is Adam Gibbs, someone I would put in the upper echelon of forest photographers. Not only does he create inspiring work but he is an excellent teacher on this topic. Anyone who is interested in this sub genre of landscape photography, regardless of skill level, would do well to check out Adam’s UA-cam channel.
Yes, I got to know Adam on a backpacking trip I took with him and Sean a few years back. He knows his forest photography well, and if we had the time we could have mentioned, as Sean stated, "...many others." Thanks for the comment Timothy.
One of my favorite subjects. Thanks guys!
I'm glad we hit on something of interest, and thanks for watching!
Thanks Zack!
One more time, thanks for your great insight....
Thank you Christopher, we're glad you're enjoying it.
Cheers Christopher!
Great guys, awesome advice and beautifully produced.
Thanks Alister! Although I think I'm running the risk of the internet getting really sick of me. Ha!
Sexton’s “Listen to the Trees” is, in my opinion, THE best book of forest photography I have ever seen. The text, in addition to the images, is very moving. Great mention.
I would agree Michael, and it was a big influence for me in my forest photography.
Excellent chat. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Richard, and you're welcome.
A lot of helpful tips and of course excellent photos to illustrate them. Thanks for adding this new way to share and to teach; looking forward to many more.
You're welcome Chris, and I'm glad you're enjoying our new "Wide Angle with Photo Cascadia" show!
Thanks for the insight. I live on the northern coast range in Oregon. Lots of chaotic forest scenes. Since this is where I am hiking now ,I am going to take your advice and insights into my daily walks. Thanks.
You'll find some wonderful forests along the northern Oregon coast range Lisa, and some of the alder forests have some stark beauty to them in winter.
This is a very informative video. I have always struggled with forest clutter; now I feel I have some tools to manage it. Thanks!
Great to hear. Yeah, forest photography is quite difficult, but when you manage the clutter compositions begin to open up.
That was a great chat! Living down in south Florida you don't necessarily think of forests, but there are quite a few and I've always avoided them. Snakes and such... ewww. But love the tips, they can work for just about any forest. As soon as they open the Everglades back up, I'm going to wander down a few of the trails and put some of your tips to good use. I'm also planning a trip north, to the Northwoods of Wisconsin this summer... hopefully. That's exactly what I'm looking for... foggy forests. Thanks guys for the great tips. Love the channel!
Thanks Barbara, you do have some wonderful swampy forests in Florida and I visited them a few years ago, and the Carolinas also have their share. I also think you'll find what you're looking for in Wisconsin too, especially up in the northern part of the state, but not as much fog in the summertime.
@@davidcobb9543 We went into a cypress dome (aka gator hole) once. Walked in water to our knees or above. I was pretty intimidated but definitely thinking of going back. There's an area there called the pine rocklands that have some old logging and fire trails I'd like to explore.
And WI is awesome. People just don't know. They think its all farms and cheeseheads. LOL I grew up in WI and the family had a cabin way up north. I was up in early June last year and there was fog on the lake. But you're right, July might not see any fog. But one can always hope. Thanks again!
Fantastic content...keep the videos coming. Great stuff!
Thank you Rodney.
@@davidcobb9543 u are very welcome. Thanks to u guys for providing us something good to watch during this time! Stay safe.
Great video. I did notice a couple of names that got omitted such as Simon Baxter and Adam Gibbs, both of which are also masters in their field!!
Yes, Sean and I went backpacking with Adam a number of years ago, and as Sean mentioned in the video, "many others." Thanks for your comment Tim.
Great stuff guys thanks for putting this together for all of us!!🙏🏻🤙🏻
You're welcome Joseph, and thanks for watching!
It was a pleasure to watch. I have the John Sexton book :)
Thank you. That book is a great one for sure.
Excellent video. I am passionate about photographing the forests around me, and I always have some issues with the clutter issue. I can do some types of separation in post, but getting it right in camera is vital. Thanks for these tips!
You're welcome John, and I'm glad you learned some from the video. Thanks for taking the time to respond - much appreciated.
Thank you for this episode. I learned some new ideas like looking for corridors and focusing on the mid-section. Great stuff for whenever I can get back outside and into the woods.
We're glad you enjoyed the episode and found it informative Chris, a few tips here and there always help.

Photocascadia...very helpful video thanks! Shooting within a location such as a forest, where one is surrounded 360 degrees by the subject matter can be challenging...it is good to learn how others deal with finding a photo in "subject dense" space...
Say, where are your Teespring T-shirts, and mugs, so we can promote your channel to our photography friends?
Ha! Our channel is purely for fun and education for now. Maybe we'll add some merch one of these days though. Thanks for the encouragement.
Oh David I'm laughing. I recited your photography tips before you said them. So, in case you thought we weren't paying attention on your workshops, we are!
Laughter is always a good thing Jody, and I'm glad you listened because there will be a pop quiz tomorrow! :)
@@davidcobb9543 okay, i'm in!
