Happy Birthday.Wish you good wealthy good healthy always.thanks for your approbation for our kase filters and Thanks very much for your shows .it's been really good harvest to learn from you.
Good one guys! Happy birthday Adam, welcome to the 60s club, I'm 61 this year, feels like I only left school four ago, lol. My favourite image from this series is the pano with the curving branches left and right with the dancing figure in-between ! It is a very tricky subject but plants and trees can be great fun and very rewarding if one finds something special. Keep going and keep inspiring, cheers from the UK.
Thank you ever so much for this one, Adam. Much to learn about woodland-photography, in deed. Beautiful pictures! I think the chaos is structured by the geometric pattern and by the harmonizing colours as well - paintings by nature…
Thank you for sharing this and many other great videos! They are again very good compositions! I wish you good health, happyness and many more years of photography in nature!
As someone who lives in the Cascade foothills outside Seattle, I find it fascinating comparing your woodland videos to those of photographic UA-camrs in Europe and the British Isles. Putting it bluntly, our forests are so different from theirs. They have mainly deciduous forests with little undergrowth other than grasses; our fir canopies lead to heavy undergrowth of ferns and shrubs, making ours much more chaotic.
Well happy birthday (sorry it’s late) Adam. I’m 10 years ahead of you and no walker or wheelchair yet (a couple titanium knees perhaps- but that makes ya bullet proof, eh?) - and the chaos is fantastic!!
I never really was successful managing, let alone mastering the chaos of woodlands. Maybe when I‘m 60 myself? Happy belated birthday, good Sir! And thank you for walking us through your approach.
"Not something I'd hang on my wall, but it's about practicing my craft." Words of wisdom. I find if I don't get grade A light/comps, I keep the camera away. Meanwhile, missing out on the art of engaging in photography. Thanks Adam!
Really great! I have been working on forest chaos for quite a while. It sharpens your ability to "see". Happy birthday, wait until you get way past 60 like me.
Chaos indeed Adam! Wonderful compositions yoy discovered. I haven't had the years you've had at Golden Ears. Only 5 or 6 for me. I've rarely come away with anything much. But your vlog has inspired me to return and keep trying. Thank you for that! 👍😁
Happy Happy Birthday Adam!! 60 isn't old at all. I can say that because I'm 65..lol. Great video as always. I'm always envious of the locations you get to shoot. Nothing like that here in MId-America. Thanks for putting these videos together, Cheers mate!
Belated Happy Birthday Adam. Nice to see you’re still able to get images out of the Fuji GFX. ;) Seems some UA-camrs consider the Hasselblad Earth Explorer as the necessary piece of kit. Thanks for another great video and please, please, please keep it about photography and not about elitist gear.
Thanks for this! My regular ramble is Pacific Spirit Park in Vancouver, where I’ve been trying to tame the chaos for many years, while enjoying the vine maples & back lit lichen
Quite enjoyed this, Adam. I have shot alot in the Wisconsin River Bottoms and the chaos is very challenging. Your thoughts here really hit home for me. Thanks!
At 2:25 the oracle offers the secret to discovering order in the chaos of a woodland scene. Language fills the world with categories and labels, not easy to see past. My takeaway from the workshop with you and Alister last spring was landscape photography as a spiritual practice is not a far fetched notion.
I often wondered why it is often a problem to judge a composition in the field. Sometimes I have the problem that I am very disappointed in front of the computer screen, because the photographs looked better on the back of my camera. Maybe this is something other photographers can relate to … at least I hope this doesn’t mean I am a bad photographer 😅
Nature is never chaos. People looking at nature might be chaos. I would just take lots of photos handheld and be guided by emotions rather than thinking and then go through the pictures later and let emotions guide me again to make choices what to keep on a memory stick as the best photos. When I photograph there is a trap I can fall into and that is to act to the golden ratio rather than the scene. A good photo leans more to the content than to the golden ratio. Some people end up photographing the golden ratio and not the scene. In poetry and music its the same. The Beatles broke a lot of rules. If I spend a day in a place like that I would take hundreds of photos and find a lot. Do some abstract paintings. It will make you realize more.
That opening frame is so well composed! Wish you many happy returns!
Nice seeing you out with the 45-100 and 20-35. No better lens duo in existence IMO
Happy birthday Adam! One year closer to wearing velcro boots again! 🥳

Have 50 years of photography,and still learning.Thanks Adam.
Cheers!
Happy birthday Adam.
Happy Birthday, Adam!
Helpful to see "masters" practicing their craft in challenging locations, not just impressive dynamic scenes. Inspiring...thanks. HB 60!
Thank you very much!
Happy birthday Adam 👍🏼
Happy Birthday!
Oh to be 60 again happy birthday Adam. Lovely panos.
Thanks!

U can hardly wait 😂

Yep it is a very difficult place to photograph that’s for sure

Thanks! I’ll try 😉
I was there last week and good to know that I am not the only one struggled! Your close up of the logs is really good. What an amazing place!
Yes it was!
Thanks for this! My regular ramble is Pacific Spirit Park in Vancouver, where I’ve been trying to tame the chaos for many years, while enjoying the vine maples & back lit lichen
Great tips and ideas for composition in busy forests. Thanks
You bet!
It is so helpful to see real life examples of how you find lines and shapes in the messiness of our forest. Happy birthday! 🎂
Cheers!

Glad to hear, thanks Nick!

Very nice 👍🙂

Thank you!
Feliz aniversário (Happy Birthday)!
Happy birthday Adam! Watching from Southeast Alaska where a lot of sceneries from this video looks similar here. Thanks for this informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really could have used this video a week ago when I was out on the Island. hahaha
you'll just have to come back ;-)
@@QuietLightPhoto absolutely! It was so gorgeous!
Happy birthday!
Thanks!
appreciates complex compositions in the forest. As a photographer, you have to work to find order in the mess. Developing for photographic vision

Thank you!!
Hi Adam,
Thanks for the video, very helpful.
The CPL 3 filter, does the 3 stands for 3 stop reduction?
Also, Happy 60th birthday!
Im not sure what the CPL3 stands for
Happy belated birthday 🥳 what tripod is it that you are using?
Thanks! I believe its the FLM CP30-M3 II Tripod

For a young whippersnapper; you did OK. I suppose it helps to hang out with even younger photographers. :poke:
Definitely!
7:58 why f16?
The link to buy your prints is broken. You want to get on that!
Thanks for that I'll have to fix it
Mossy green trees!! 😊 Great video Adam
Thanks, Barb!
👍🎂👏
Please don’t get a Hasselblad!
No worries I already got one😂🤣
Happy birthday Adam!
Thanks!
