    Adam, I rarely comment on content however I can't but help myself yet again. You are in your own special class of content creators, In my opinion one of the best I have ever seen. Thank you for making UA-cam worthwhile!

    16 minutes of amazing content without stupid sponsorship plugs! That's what UA-cam is for in the first place! Thanks for making this jawdropping video Adam!

    Your choice of music and imagery have created a place of awe and worship within me. That feeling of being alone yet connected somehow to everything. A spiritual place indeed. Thank you brother Adam. This is one of my favorites.

    The textures ... And to know the winds will have reordered much - or even all - of it when you next have the chance to see it again. Yes, magic does exist in this world.

      Pat Horne oddly, these are mostly static dunes and the water table is really high under them. There is some small scale movement, but the general geography stays the same.

    I like all of your videos but I might be watching this one a number of times, I was sad when it ended. What a location, and your interpretation of it was spot on.

    I could watch the sequence at the beginning all day long. The photos made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. So soft and quiet. Just having one of those images on my wall would make me feel calm. Thanks again for sharing.

    @shamcarz 5 років тому

    This is easily one of your best videos Adam. I held my breath everytime you showcased a photo in the clip. What I like about your images are how abstract they are, when you compare it to the other desertscape photos you see everywhere. Also I couldn't agree more that Landscape photography is as much about travel, experiencing new places and culture as much as the output!

  • @Alister_Benn

    That sunrise shot at 08:20 is really beautiful!

    I love the contrasting tones and shapes Adam! Sand Dunes and areas of this ilk are amazing to photograph, as well as ‘experience!’

  • @joelwolski

    Holy crap what a place! I've seen dunes, but this is something else! Love your calm contemplative open sequence. Sensational images - must be overwhelming being dropped in to a place so different and with such different photographic opportunities than you're used to.

  • @jamesmarko1787
    @jamesmarko1787 5 років тому

    Stunning images Adam. I can't help but feel like I'm in a trance as image after image of sand dunes was being shown and I couldn't look away.. I love how you're able to turn something as simple as sand into a photo that I could stare at for hours and would be proud to have on my wall. Great work with the images as well as the story telling in the videos. Always enjoy my time spent on your channel!

    Hello Adam! I am finally back in Canada, c/w reliable internet and hope to get caught up to previous episodes shortly. Without any doubt, this is the best channel of its kind on YT. Everything: Content, instruction (composition and post), videography, epic drone footage and voice over is simply outstanding. Love your work, thank you so much for sharing. Cheers from BC!

  • @DiegoMcCartney

    I’ve always dreaming of visiting the Gobi desert Adam. Looked like a wonderful experience and you came away with some lovely images utilizing that long lens. The scale of the dunes and overall area just looked other worldly. Hope to make it there one day myself. Cheers.

    @allandavies1187 5 років тому

    Hello Adam, I always love your vlogs and especially this one. I could hear in your voice how much chilled out you were and relaxed. Your comments and images are always amazing. And I often say I hang on your every word. Personally, for me, your vlogs are stronger and with more content when you are on your own. I thank you for sharing as always and look forward to the next episode of the Gobi Desert...

    @matssandquist9258 5 років тому

  • @valpayne2963
    @valpayne2963 5 років тому

    @johnsholian4318 5 років тому

    You just keep raising the bar Adam. From the intro to the end, fantastic and mesmerizing images and video. I’m drawn to abstract patterns as well but haven’t used my 200-500mm for that but you can bet I will from now on. Well done and thanks for the inspiration!

    Absolutely brilliant Adam. Love dune photography - we have some awesome dunes here in Western Australia, but nothing like the Gobi. Harder to photograph as well as the sand is whiter so contrast is a key element. Really looking forward to your next video for the post-processing side as well. 👍👍

    Simply stunning abstracts in the Gobi Desert using those long lenses. Nothing not to like here Adam...

    So vast, amazing, and different than what we see & photograph within North America, especially here at home on the Island. Your images are spectacular (loved the drone footage) and represents the Gobi well. Saying that, with all the places I wish to see, film & photograph in my lifetime, the Gobi would be one of the last on my very long bucket list. Life is full of endless possibilities and I never say never! Thx Adam for sharing your adventures 🍻

I can see how one can be in tune with them self out there with no distractions from the hustle and bustle of the busy world. Gotta mention your outlook on life & calm voice is another plus for these videos :) Look forward to the next video as I look forward to all of your awesome videos mate :)
