Photographing My Favorite Town in Washington
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2022
- This week, I venture to one of my favorite towns in Washington, North Bend. This town is a hub for all things outdoors and a gateway to the Cascade Mountains. Many of my favorite hikes are only a few miles from this iconic Washington location. I was shooting Portra 160 through the Pentax 6x7 and walked away with some of my favorite photos I've taken in a while! Enjoy!

"You want me to turn the light on" You are right where you supposed be. Doing exactly the right thing. Thanks for another satisfying episode
Thank you for watching!
The woman's expression at 3:39 was just priceless
This seemed like an amazing day of photography! You captured so much in this video! I think my favorite has to be the first shot you took of the Dairy Freeze! Awesome old building and great light. Really cool that the guy was there to turn the lights on for you!
Thank you man! That dude was super nice. Evening light worked some wonders for me there!
Video colour grading and Cinematography is absolutely beautiful as always 🥲🔥 Never want the video to end 😅
Ah thank you very much!
That train shot at 4:31 is incredible man. Feels like you stepped into another time. And the shots of the horses holy shit man. This was such a visual treat to watch, killed it as always. Happy I went to church again this Sunday ⛪️
Ah thank you dude! Appreciate the kind words and support as always 🙏🏼
Walking the train tracks in any new location is always a must. It really takes you through some of the rich and forgotten ecosystem
100%! Gonna be a go-to move this summer haha
5:39 damn so mustachelicious. Really like the new approach of talking to strangers. The steam locomotive is also really cool.
Thanks dude! Too good not to grab a photo haha.
Man that horse photo at 10:25 was GORGEOUS. I'm obsessed with horse's on film. Would love a print of that one.
Thanks dude :)
1min into the video I was like: "Brae you making docs now or what!?"😵👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Haha thank you dude! 🙏🏼
Your videos are fantastic, Brae. You’re my all-around favorite channel on UA-cam. I always feel like I am right there with you. Awesome skills and storytelling. Keep it up!
Ah thank you! Really appreciate that. Glad the videos give off some good vibes :)
The barbershop image is epic! And the dude with the cool stache! Love the look of that place with such a nice mountain backdrop
Thanks man! Mt. Si always providing the views!
I am canadian and european and I think I wanna live in this little town wow, it looks gorgeous.
It’s my favorite!
This is the city where Twin Peaks was filmed, right? One of my favorite series with one of my favorite UA-cam channels hahaha awesome!! (Next time in Snoqualmie area, you should try shoot the hotel with the waterfall in foreground, classic scene from the series!)
Yes sir! And I definitely will have to swing by snoqualmie falls next time!
Beautiful country! I love the horses and I love old trains. Beautiful photography. (Next up? Tap Room reviews...Tap Room reviews...Tap Room reviews, please.) ✌️
Haha more coming this summer, no doubt! Thanks, Bob 🤠
I don't know how you do it but you make the best videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thank you for watching!
8:47 Reminds me of Robert Frank's book "The Americans".
That train shot 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 wowzers
Thanks Robin!
Federal Way WA here. I had a Pentax 6X7 years ago. Best camera I ever had. Went to mirrorless but doesn’t have that same smooth look. Great videos!
Hard to beat the 6x7 that’s for sure!
Just started watching your videos, your music choices are fantastic. Honestly it's a nice break from the lo-fi instrumental tracks that a lot of other youtube photograpahers tend to use. Very nice work, man! I feel like I'm there with you.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you’re enjoying 👍🏻
Man the more of your videos I watch.. the more I feel the need to get up that way for a photo adventure! If I ever do... I now at least know some great communities to photograph!
Glad to hear that, man! Thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers and happy shooting!
That’s right where the actual Twin Peaks diner is! Nice video bro! 🔥
Yes sir! Iconic spot 😎
It was amazing how the guy asked to turn on the sign for you after you had just mentioned it. I love to see the universe give. Great video you’ve been my recent favorite find. I also just got a f100 and glad you had a video for that too.
Thanks Daniel! Yeah that timing was awesome haha. And enjoy the F100, great camera!
The Washington State Tourist Board should pay you for the amount you've made me want to head over that way if I'm ever in the US. Great shots as always, man
Haha love it 😂 definitely should check out the northwest at some point!
The shot of the train at 4:31 and the thumbnail shot of the horses are magic ✨️
Thank you!
Always love some Hunziker photos, inspiration to go shoot!
Thanks, Jackson!
Just WOW. Another awesome video. Are you sure you don’t want to become a professional drone operator? The drone shots are absolutely documentary quality.
9:28 is the shot I like the most. The composition with the flowers, the river and the mountains in the background combined with the depth of field is just amazing.
Also great to see you get to shoot more and more cool portraits of random strangers like you said you would 😎
Thanks and keep on spoiling us 😇
Haha thank you Christian!! I do love me some drone shots 🤠 appreciate the kind words and positive feedback 👊🏻
love how many times locals pop out to help in these videos lol
Haha they’re the best!
I took pictures of those horses too last time I bike thru North Bend. Beautiful video as usual.
Too perfect not to!
this was so peaceful to watch (as always), thank you!!
Thanks :)
INCREDIBLE WORK!!!!!!!!!
So happy you got a photo of those two lovely peeps! Really good photos :) Love the videos Brae
Thanks :)
The opening narration reminded me of Anthony Bourdain. Great video and love seeing your process!
Thank you very much. AB is the goat.
you went to twin peaks! i wondered when you’d visit, great work as always man!
Haha yes indeed! 🤠
Bbbrrruuuhhh. That video and photography was awesome! Super inspiring.
Thanks 👊🏻
Man, these are amazing photos! What a town.
Thanks dude! Fun spot for sure
Such a phenomenal video with breathtaking pictures!! Keep killing it, Brae! 🤙🏻
Thanks Michael 👊🏻
Really impressive video Brae! North Bend looks beautiful, already looking forward to your next upload!
Thank you, Jake!
Haha yeah long hours, boo asscrack of dawn 🤣🤣🤣 But you gotta do it to get your shots in 😅 This was a fun video! Love the train chasing. Little mountain towns are such a treat to wander around camera in hand. My favorite place in Washington state is definitely Kirkland. Birthplace of Costco, the best store in town! Can't get enough of that Kirkland signature. Just kidding. I'm from BC and it's a shame I haven't yet explored Washington wilderness. I have peered into the Cascades from Skagit Park, right on the border. It's a sight to be seen.
Haha +1 for Kirkland signature! The Costco hotdog, iconic! But yeah man exploring these little mountain towns in Washington is awesome. Definitely gonna get some more days like this in this summer!
You create magic ❤️
Absolutely adored this video 💕
Thanks :)
This is one of the best cut movies I've watched of yours so far imo Brae, I love it!
Thank you Bradly!
I love about 40min away, and north bend is one of my favorite spots to hike - really cool to see it featured
Tons of beautiful hikes so close to North Bend! An outdoor capital for sure.
The drone photography and other cinematography is really incredible. I love the photos of the horses, too!
Thanks Michael!
What a little beauty of a town that is! Great video & amazing shots Brae. Absolutely loving those mountains and the old steam train cruising through town was the cherry on top👌
It's a special place for sure! And lucked out with the train running that day. Thanks 🤠
Those horse images are absolutely beautiful. Whole video is excellent, gonna put the town on my radar next time I'm in town and check it out.
Thanks Alex! 🤠
amazing video. Incredible shots
Thanks!
Few minutes in & very impressed! great job.
Thanks Michael!
thanks for making this Brae. Really liked the portraitures man!!!
Thank you!
Absolutely smashed it again! Love this little towns in America! Makes me wish I lived over there! Have you ever thought about visiting the Scottish highlands? They share similarities to these small towns surrounded by mountains and the Scottish culture is just amazing.
Thanks Ethan! And yes, I'm hoping to do a trip to the UK, Ireland, Scotland, etc in the next couple of years!
Such a great and entertaining video, great music. I enjoyed it a lot watching the video and getting inspired !
Thank you!
Whoa, top notch video, awesome shots!
Thank you!
Hell yea! Amazing vid with the Twin Peaks diner in it!
Haha yes sir! Thank you!
Lovely town. That train shot!
Lucked out having the train run that day!
Loving the portraits project keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
all-around great video and photos 👍🏼
Thank you!
Thanks Brae for the terrific vid. Hope you hit that place in the winter, too.
Definitely will! Thanks Gary!
This video was packed with interesting images. So much captured in 9 hours! Love that handlebar moustache dude….he was a great subject for a portrait. The horses were lovely too. Dairy Freeze…so good. All that surrounded by beauty. The videography on this was gorgeous as well. Those drone shots of the area were spectacular. As you can guess, I really enjoyed this one. Good work!
Thanks so much, David. Really means a lot. Appreciate the kind words and good feedback. Thanks for tuning in :)
Portraits where really good man love your work and inspiration.
Thank you dude!
North Bend looks so quaint! Beautiful shots man, sounds like you had an awesome day!
Thanks dude. It’s a lovely town!
Wow dude, amazing video from front to back
Thanks, Alex!
what a nice day of photography, i mean the low clouds capping the peaks all day and then the little golden light coming through for the last few frames. couldn’t ask for better. love all the photos mate, especially the river, mountain, flowers combo 👌🏼 first roll of 120 color i shot was 160 and i think it’s an amazing and underrated film
Yeah really lucked out with a great day and good light! Thanks dude 👊🏻
i really love your work men! its amazing, greetings from Mexico!
Thanks dude!
Such a pleasure to watch Brae. You did a beautiful location justice but that portrait of the moustache guy is pure magic.
Thanks David! Was super stoked on that portrait. Glad you enjoyed the video 🤠
nice video bro, definitely one of your best in my opinion. keep up the great work.
Thanks man 👊🏻
Hey Brae!! Thanks for another excellent video... really inspire me to continue shooting film... God bless you!!
Thanks dude. Glad to hear it :)
4:29 every now and then you show a photo that makes me produce some strange audible animal noise of some kind, the composition is so perfect for how quick you took it
Haha well thank you very much!
Such a beautiful place 🤩
Hard to beat!
More videos like this! Incredible photos greetings from Mexico
Thank you!
Excellent video, new to your channel sonim working my way through. My wife and i made the journey from the uk to North bend back in 2014. Me were doing a weeks road trip from our base at a family members in Vancouver bc. North bend and snoqualmie were must stops as we were on a twin peaks pilgrimage. The pie in the diner was delicious
Haha love it!! That sounds like a great trip. Thanks for checking out the video!
Excellent inspirational work! New Sub! 🙌🤙
Thank you!
Hi Brae, I feel like we're almost neighbors as I'm from Gig Harbor and love photography too. Anyway, love your videos and the stories you weave into them... and the of course the photography!!!! Keep it up, you're a talented film maker. Always looking forward to the next video!
Well thank you! Went to GHHS. Spent my teens running around GH!
Ditto!!
Bro... 🥲 THIS is the one. The best and most complete video on your channel, you nailed it! The photos, are spectacular, the editing on point, and your A-roll fun as always. God knows where you go on from here 💙
Ah thank you so much man! I appreciate that greatly :)
Portra 160 For The Win! 🔥
Super stoked on the results!
I can't tell you how many times I've driven by North Bend in the last 70 yrs but I've never stopped. I'm slowly starting to enjoy street type photography and this video has me thinking I need to stop next time I go to Seattle.
It took me a while to make a stop in the town itself! I’d always pit stop at the gas station or Starbucks right off I-90, but have recently discovered some great restaurants and beautiful landscapes if you venture a little further :)
What a nice little town full of friendly people. Love it.
5:07 and 05:14 are my fav!
Thanks Andre! Loved the architecture of that place.
This might be my favorite video of yours yet, man! Do you have a playlist on Spotify, cause this soundtrack to this video was 🔥?
Thank you Corey! And I did, but someone got into it and erased all the songs, so I have to make a new one lol. I'll make an announcement when it's out!
Imagine you’re in the town with the OG Twin Peaks Double RR Diner and just shoot it casually from the other side of the road as if it‘s a random gas station 😅 man I wish I could be there one day
Haha it’s a rad town. An iconic spot indeed.
I’m sure the person running after the train got an epic shot that was sharp as a tack. Hahaha
Hahaha no doubt
Enumclaw is a super cool town, too
Love shooting the farmlands outside enumclaw!
@@BraeHunziker I’m glad to hear it! You’ve actually gotten me back into shooting film.
You're really making me want to drive out to WA this summer
Gotta do it! It's beautiful out here :)
Very cool photo excursion and video of North Bend! Really liked that one of the train and motels, as well as Mt. Si. I was wondering where that field was with the Elk. Any tips? Thanks.
Thank you! It’s right along Highway 202 in between North Bend and Snoqualmie!
@@BraeHunziker ah yes, I think I know that field. Thanks
Great video man! Felt like I was hanging out with you and shooting. Maybe we will someday.
Love it, that's the goal!
Wow twice the Brae in one weekend!!!
🤠
shooting in twin peaks...the dream
Haha yep yep!
awesome
Thanks!
Beautiful captures as always! What did you think of top gun?
Thanks Samuel! Absolutely fantastic, exceeded expectations.
What a GREAT video!! Your drone videos are quite good. Congratulations on the mustache guy photo. I think it was a great portrait!
Lastly, what a great sponsor today. My wife and I were discussing your music as we watched the episode. Your music is something I would hang around a bar and listen to. I wish you could convince some of the people you took a camera head strap photo with at cameras and beer to change their crap music. 🤮
Once again, congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone.
Thanks Greg! Was really pleased to see the mustache portrait turn out.
And glad you guys enjoy the music! It is definitely a massively important element in my videos 🤠
Cheers!
Awesome Vid Brae, How did you like Top Gun Maverick btw? I loved it
thanks Jack! Absolutely phenomenal. Best movie I’ve seen in quite some time!
Welcome to Twin Peaks.
🤘🏻
Did you think top gun did live up?? I thought sooo, sick vid too!
Honestly it surpassed all expectations. Thought it was exceptional!
yo man, love the vid - do you have any LUTs for sale?
Thanks man! Nah I don’t. Most images aren’t edited much.
Well? What did you think of Maverick? (Awesome video, BTW)
Absolutely fantastic! 9.5/10 for me 🤠
I had a right hand grip for my Pentax 6x7 and constantly was engaging that MLU switch when grabbing the camera. Got rid of the grip and it hasn't happened since.
Haha yeah it’s definitely the reason. Just keeping the meme running at this point
@@BraeHunziker Good self-awareness 😏
Beautiful. Now come visit me in Japan.
Haha please!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hope all is well sir!
@@BraeHunziker you too my man. Staying busy. Keep being the dopest there is!
I don't know how he keeps hitting the "mirror up" switch on his Pentax 67, which is now a running joke here. I've shot such camera since 1985, and I think I did that twice. Otherwise, when in collage in the mid-1960s, I had a roommate from North Bend (in Seattle for school). He went home for the weekend every weekend without fail. he was a fishing fanatic. His family owned a local sporting goods store. His secret fishing spot was out the back door of the store, which was between the main street of town and the river. He fished off the back porch for rainbow trout - big ones. Fishermen came from far away, bought supplies, and then went into the back country to catch the "big ones". Apart from fresh paint, it doesn't look like the place has changed much in 60 years.
Haha well I am clearly challenged…
That story is awesome. It is certainly a capital for all things outdoors. A lot of good fishing out of North Bend. A special place for sure
You ever passed through Waterville, WA?
I haven’t! Closest I’ve been is Chelan.
@@BraeHunziker Try Highway 2 sometime on a trip to/from the east side. Lots of podunk farm town history/architecture/scenes. Sometime in July or August when the rolling wheat fields are nice and golden.
That train
Thanks man. If you find yourself out this way, bang my line!
@@BraeHunziker If I had the money to cross the ocean, that would be a pleasure :)
What happened to the 67ii?
Getting repaired currently :/
I always wanted to shoot Portra 160 but where I live, it is literally 22$ more expensive than 400 and almost on par with 800🤷🏻♂️ so I just avoid it like the plague haha (also Ektar is much cheaper and has better look imo so there is that)
Oh that’s weird! Yeah I tend to lean towards Ektar as well. Both great choices.
@@BraeHunziker it is weird indeed...
Anyone else notice the Tyler, The Creator Goblin font on the thumbnail
