Adam - I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending the year with you. Thank you for all your heartfelt, authentic insights, and for the weekly dose of inspiration and introspection. Take care, mate. 👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks for this video Adam, it has inspired me to get back into the woodland as I do struggle with compositions of woodland scenes. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the last year, keep producing them. Thanks again.
I really enjoy the way you explain the ideas and thought process behind photographing these amazing places. I'm new at this, and just learning with a M4/3 Olympus Camera, but it's the mental part of trying to capture the incredible places we see everyday, so thank you for all of the great videos.
Lovely shots there. I am from India and we have dry, bit dusty atmosphere most of the time. There is a lot of light year around. But there are amazing jungles here. A key technique explained in almost all woodland photography of "using the fog" doesn't apply here most of the times. What can be other techniques that can bring depth and cut distractions in background.
I always watch you videos, Adam, and always enjoy them, but I'm not someone who comments much. I've got to say, though, how fantastic that final image is. It's everything you could want from a woodland shot 👏.
Very interesting video ! After living eight years on a volcanic island and very dry, now I am back in my home land and after rocks and ocean I have to change my vision and this video is really helpful. Thank you very much !
Beautiful second photo. Indeed it pays of to take some time around your tree of interest. For me, the busier the woodland, the longer it takes, not only to find a composition, UT to start with finding my way in dense undergrowth.
Hello from Florida! Just recently found you here on CZcams and thoroughly enjoy your videos. I am primarily a wildlife photographer, but would like to shoot more landscapes. Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge.
Hi Adam I really like your videos, you have a very strong motivation and that helps us because you make simple what seems complicated. However, I increasingly realize that a large part of the secret of a good photograph lies in the moment of editing. I confess that I'm not the type to overestimate photography through the manipulation of colors, lights, etc. I like to see the color and texture, so I try to reproduce that in the edit, without overdoing it. The problem is the same: what we see through the camera is almost always not what we will have in the photograph. In forest photography this is very common. In the case of the video, since it was rainy weather, wouldn't it be advisable to use a polarizing filter? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Really nice video thank you. Adam, I've noticed on a few of your videos you never seem to have a lens hood on, regardless of weather conditions including heavy rain. Love to know the reason, thanks.
It's another thing for me to lose. The hoods on the wider lenses offer little protection anyway. Your comment has however inspired me to pack the 70-200 hood for tomorrow where snow is expected.
It's quite a challenge where I am because fog appears once in a blue moon in my area. It's not impossible, but it takes a lot of work to get a good woodland composition.
How is it that Adams camera and the 70-200 lens seems tiny in the opening woodland shots but his head and hands look so large, is it only me seeing that ... ?
To be totally honest I was so focused on getting the shot that I didn’t even notice until I edited the video and saw the footage. it’s a well sealed lens though.
That last image... ❤
Have a good Start into 2022!

Great shots and a nice moment in your company. Thank you!
Thank you too!
Always look forward your videos!! Another great one!
Always enjoy your videos and particularly liked the last image in this video. All the best for 2022
Beautiful image!
Thanks for taking the time to explain your way of finding and thinking through the scene.
Wonderful explanation of how composition is achieved. The images you captured are exquisite.
Stunning image Adam the colours and contrast between the fog and the moss are sublime.
Beautfiul work Adam. Love the way you talk us through your thought processes, you make everything so clear and simple 😊👍
Awesome images Adam and a great video (again!)!
Fantastic. Happy New Year Bud!

Absolutely. Focus on that second point and you can’t go wrong.
I have struggled with this exact subject. This was nicely explained and I'm inspired to get out today and try this out.

Fantastic images Adam, especially loved the composition of the final image. Hope you had an enjoyable Christmas with your family
Thanks Jim. Always appreciate your comments.

I really love that tree shot at the end
Thanks so much.

Nice tutorial. It would be great to see a video on how you edited the photos. : )
Thumbs up

@@Firstmanphotography I look forward to watching it, good luck and have fun.

Man i only now noticed how big guy you are, Canon 5dmkIV (regarding size) looks next to you not like mirrorless but like cellphone.

Thought it was going to be a chainsaw review! Cracking shots.
I have a tough time photographing trees, or woods, because I feel like I have to include everything in the photograph.
Obviously, you don't! :)
Elves use paths.
Are you not worried that zooming that lens, with all the water on it, will introduce water inside it?!!!
To be totally honest I was so focused on getting the shot that I didn’t even notice until I edited the video and saw the footage. it’s a well sealed lens though.
@@Firstmanphotography, my lenses (all Nikon) are "sealed", I'm not brave enough to deliberately introduce ALL THAT that water into them though! :(
You need a 4 X 5" view camera and FILM. Be brave, don't be a coward fiddling those insane menus written for pilots of jet planes.
In the rain?
@@Firstmanphotography Why not? Stick a fold up umbrella with your tripod.
@@Foxglove963 lol…..I haven’t used an umbrella in 40 years. I’m not gonna start in order to shoot film.
@@Firstmanphotography . lol? An umbrella can also be used to shield the view camera from brisk gusts of wind so that your photo remains sharp.
