- SPECTACULAR RAINFOREST Fog and Light | Atmospheric Landscape Photography Vlog | Sony A7III
In this landscape photography vlog I visit Lamington National Park on a foggy morning for some rainforest woodland photography, it was the perfect balance of Fog and Light (inspiration for this video's title) to make some interesting woodland photography compositions. I use what I believe is the best lens for woodland photography / forest photography.
Join me on this landscape photography adventure, enjoy the rainforest sounds of nature, the foggy conditions and warm light for some woodland photography and minimalist landscape photography.

Thanks for watching! Subscribe and comment what image did you like the most? 🧐
Mmm mushrooms. They taste like happiness.
They do hey! 🥴
It is a fantastic place nice walking in the peaceful forest it feels relaxing and refreshing it's all natural nature thank you for sharing
Surely is! Thanks a lot for watching and glad you liked it 😊
Another cracking vlog from Lamington. What a place and I think you got some great shots👍
Thanks a lot Andrew really appreciate it mate. It’s a great place!
Thanks, Rauri. Very enjoyable video with some beautiful images. Great effort!
Thanks a lot mate. Tried to make it more “atmospheric”. Thanks again
Rauri, that first image is an award winner! I love it! Wow! Stunning forest with that fog!
Thanks for watching and commenting mate I appreciate that 😊
Thanks for taking us with you, such a beautiful place, when the borders re open we will be back. I thought all the photos were ..lovely and moody 🌿
Thanks a lot Jane, glad you liked it. Welcome back, hopefully soon 😊
A fantastic set of images taken in a wonderful place with great moody conditions. I have never been to a rainforest and I would be definitely lost when choosing the right compositions.
I really enjoyed your vlog from the small detailed views to the wider ones. Great job!
Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate your feedback in the video 😊 it’s a lovely place to spend a lot of time.
The composition at 2:42 was great! Thanks for getting up early to show us this location and how you worked with the conditions. How do the leeches get on you so easily?
Thanks Juanita, I wish I knew how they got on me easily as I’m pretty careful 😂 after the rain they’re everywhere, and climb up my legs and into my shirt seems to be easiest for them.
What a beautiful forest. You captured it so well in the few images you put up. Really liked the first one them mushrooms, wow. Never seen anything like them before. I bet they look really cool in macro. Another great banger video mate.
Thanks mate! Yeah I have to get a cheap macro lens for these instances. Appreciate that mate 😊
Great Vlog Rauri. I loved all your photos, but my favourite shots were the were the ones you took in portrait orientation. My favourite photo was the first photo with the S shaped fallen tree in the foreground.
Thanks a lot mate, glad you liked that first shot, was an interesting scene hey! 😃
This was a really great video, Rauri! You captured the environment, scenes and sounds so well I felt I was there. Excellent work. Amazing images, even though you prob felt rushed. I think i prefer the 24mm version of the path shot, prob because it has a bit more depth and fully includes that beautiful tree on right right. Love your work.
Thanks for the feedback Paul! Appreciate that, I really like hearing peoples preferences and reason behind it, helps me see through others eyes. Appreciate the support mate 😊
Great video mate! I love all of the B roll in this one! Lamington is just b roll heaven! Those Antarctic Beech trees are my favourite! Very jealous of those conditions! Really great images!!
Thanks mate! Yeah it is hey! I wish I had more time to slow down and work on the broll more, I enjoy it. Thanks again dude
I enjoyed this a lot Rauri. Excellent images in a magical part of my favourite Park with stunning conditions. A favourite image for me was the lovely orange fungi at 8:52. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot 😊 appreciate your support on the video and kind words ✌️
That fog is so awesome! I wish we had that kind of fog around here. Nice pictures Rauri.
Thanks Mate. Yeah we don’t get much fog where I live, so I have to venture up into these mountains when there is low cloud haha. Thanks for watching mate
Very beautiful location you got there. Too bad you could not stick around for a longer time. I enjoyed all of your images. So much mood and atmosphere with all that moss and lichen.
Thanks a lot mate! I’m trying to get my videos up to your standard! 😃 thanks for checking it out
@@RauriBarron You are too kind mate! 😀
I can't believe I wasted the peace and quite of my dunny time to watch this.
Great video as always mate!! You really pour blood and tears into your work- I just love the images!
Rainforest sounds when on 🚽 what else could you ask for. Thanks mate 😊
Beautiful images Rauri. The rainforest is a gorgeous location although often busy and chaotic to shoot. I loved the 38mm images. I shoot micro four thirds and a 15mm (30 FF eqiv) f1.7 is one of my favourite lenses. As for the leeches tuck the bottom of your pants into your socks and spray your boots, bottom of the pants and bare skin with DEET. Bushmans Plus often works. Leeches hate the stuff. If you are not bothered by them the little ones will drop off after about 30 mins. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah a lovely place, I could spend days there if I had time. Appreciate the feedback on the images mate. Good advice, I didn’t spray the boots, can’t believe how well the leeches climb up into my shirt 😂
Great video, Rauri. You captured some really wonderful images of that rain forest, especially since you were in a hurry. (It is too bad work gets in the way. : ) ) I don't know that I could choose a favorite from the group, but the orange mushrooms were unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for making the time to do this video.
Thanks a lot mate - this video take take quite a bit of time but it’s not performing well yet 😆 that’s ok though as it was a lot of fun! Thanks for watching
I really feel like you've stepped up the quality on this one! And as for the pictures, the shot at 2:40 is great! Love it. All the others were nice, but that was the stand out one for me. One to put up for sale on the website! I also quite liked the orange fungus photo and the second one of the tree where you were waiting for the light to hit it. Great video, and a lot of smart decisions when you were producing it!
Thanks a lot Adam - appreciate the feedback on the video too as I tried a few new things, and was a bit unsure of them - of course views don't reflect the effort put into the vlogs, but always fun to make 😁 Next task when I have free time is definitely the website. Thanks again mate.
Video good beautiful
Thanks mate
Love that rainforest (apart from the leeches). I always get attacked by gnats in my local forest. I liked the wide spot from that path and the landscape composition. I had similar thoughts out in the forest (very dry with blue skies) last week - it's been over three months and it took a while to get my eye in. Liked the talk and vlog 🙂
Thanks so much Russ, it’s a stunning location, last time I went I had zero leech issues, was a bit drier, but this morning… they were all over me. Gnats are like mosquitos? Not sure we have them here and I can’t remember them. Thanks again mate 😊
Thanks for taking us all along with yiu in to the forest. You are very dedicated getting up that early and enduring the leaches !!! I think you capture some nice images . Take care : ) Teddy
Thanks a lot teddy. Tried to capture the atmosphere and essence of the rainforest in this video, so included the nature sounds, water drops etc. thanks again for the support
Mate! What a cracking video.. First picture was gorgeous and my favourite 👌🏼👌🏼 All images were beautiful though
Thanks a lot mate! Was a nice comp that first one. 😊 cheers for checking this out.
Excellent vlog, i did like the underexposed shot you mentioned and the 35 mm vs the 28 at the beginning. Great stuff Rauri
Thanks Timothy - appreciate you checking out the videos mate 😊
Hey brother. Digging the shots, especially the 38mm. Woodland can be difficult but you definatly have an eye for it. Scouting trips are the best
Super kind mate, thank you! I've practiced a lot of woodland over the last year, I only just feel I'm getting there, simple is best! Thanks mate.
Great photo's & video mate. I have been looking at what the Sony 24-105mm f/4 can do and photo's look great.
Thanks mate, 😊
What a stunning location , super conditions & a fabulous set of images . Found your channel via Izzy Abuleela ,happily subscribed 👍
Thanks so much Lynne, appreciate the support 😊 This is one of my favourite places around here. I hope you have a good Christmas week.
Heya Rauri, great vlog.
The fungus you have found looks like Favolaschia calocera, orange ping pong bats. Unfortunatly it's actually a weed!
Thanks for watching mate, appreciate you sharing that info too, quite interesting 😊
Nice work Rauri. Don’t ya love it when those leeches sneak onto your leg while setting up 😱 Great shots mate. Thanks for sharing the adventure out. First shot had nice lines 👍🙏
Thanks Adrian, oh so many, felt like they were jumping out at me 😂. Thanks for watching 😊
Great video mate i loved the more zoomed in look for your footage and i noticed alot of very familiar compositions to me!
Thanks man I guess I’ll have to invest in the 18-55 then! 😆 Apart from the path shots which were familiar? I guess you’ve been up here more than me
Pretty much all of them 😂
Not that I have any real discerning tastes for landscape photography but I really like the one at 05:29. Nice one Rauri
Appreciate you checking this out 😊 thank you!
Great video mate. That shot at 2:40 is fantastic 👌 Can't decide with the ones at 4:25 - I think if pushed, I'd go with the 24mm shot. I'd love to be able to visit some forest like this. Kind of glad we don't have the leeches over here though. 😁
Thanks a lot Rob! Haha yeah everything here is out for your blood 😉 appreciate you checking this out
Chia sẻ rất tuyệt 🏵🏵
Thanks
Mate, the images at 7:25 and 7:35 are really beautiful. And those last two close-ups equally so. Some lovely b-roll footage and audio, too. Love your work, Rauri. 👍😄
Thanks a lot Peter! Appreciate that feedback mate, usually I remove all audio from broll but had to keep this in, glad you liked it! Also, congrats on 1K+ 🤩 💪 you’ve doing so well!
@@RauriBarron Definitely keep this kind of audio. It’s just as enjoyable as the footage. Thanks, mate. First hump overwith. I see bigger ones ahead, but I’m just going to do my best to be useful and/or entertaining and let the the humps take care of themselves. This has been a great opportunity to learn about film making, which so far, is super enjoyable! 👍
@@peterfritzphoto cheers mate appreciate the feedback, will do that. Yeah making Videos is super fun! I love filming and editing.
@@RauriBarron My problem right now is I shoot from up to six cameras (R5, R6, GoPro, GO2, iPhone and drone) each time, so the editing is a bloody huge job! I can see why all the big CZcamsrs end up hiring editors!
@@peterfritzphoto haha for sure, those multiple angles and shots all make a big difference though
Between you, jez and Lisa I think I I have become slightly addicted to this place ! What conditions Rauri. As ever your production & editing on these "on location" episodes are a delight to watch - minus the leeches of course 😝 Cracking set of images and fabulous conditions for woodland photography for sure - love that fallen tree image, great little find that. Not a lot to choose between the 24 & 38m shots for me. Just a quick note of the broken lens thing - the b roll from the fuji gives a different look from the actual still taken with the Sony.. if I am honest I preferred the "green greens" of the footage over the sony's "yellow greens" you have been showing in the epiosde if that makes sense? Be interesting to know which was closer to what you was actually seeing on the day? Rather strange as I have moved back to a Canon as you know because I missed canon colour science - which are known for their "warmer" colours, especially the greens. That's not to say I didn't like the stills but when showing the stills alongside the broll in this it was something I noticed - not a criticism btw. Nice to see you back out in the field, great watch. atb Al
Thanks mate - a magical place hey! It’s a bit of effort for me to get there but always worth it 🤩. Appreciate your kind words and feedback too as always. Interesting that you pointed out the difference is colour, that’s the issue I guess with filming and photographing on two different systems. To answer your question, the more true to life colour is the Sony photos, with the rich green and yellow highlights, I film on the Fuji, with the film simulation Eterna which gives the video a less saturated effect, brings up shadows slightly, similar to what mr Heaton uses. I like the effect for video. Thanks again mate 😊
@@RauriBarron Ah, nice to know. Interesting you saying about working with 2 systems as I am using the Panny for video these days (mostly) but it's something I am now actutely aware of. regards Al
@@thevalleywalker interesting, great video system. Thanks again for watching mate 👍
so perfect shot, how long did it take to edit it
Thank you! The video took maybe 2 evenings, and then 2 evenings for photo editing (on and off, I take breaks) 😂

This was super enjoyable mate & you got some beautiful images. My favourites were at 2:42, the 38mm vertical frame of the pathway and the abstract at 5:07. Also really liked the fungi image at the end, the vibrant orange really stood out, awesome! The whole video was beautifully shot, loved the choice of music, the ambience! Great job buddy:)
Thanks a lot Peter! I tried to make this one more...atmospheric? Is that the word? I also prefer the 38mm vertical of the path! Glad the abstract stood you to you, it was one of many I took whilst walking and hoping they'd work haha. Thank Peter! 👍🏻
@@RauriBarron very welcome RAURI. My name is Jason duh😀
Thanks for taking us along on your wander. Love the shot at 7:30 and really like the last two. Booooo to leeches 😖
Thanks a lot Sue! Really appreciate your support. Quick question, would like viewer feedback as this video has not performed well compared to my others, is the thumbnail or title confusing or poorly done to you? Would/wouldn’t click?
@@RauriBarron TBH I had not looked at the title! I have a few YTers I follow without taking much notice of how their vids are named - I just get excited when I see a new one. But, now that you mention it, perhaps it does seem - from the title - that it is more about the lens rather than composition or settings. Thumbnail is perfect! Hope that helps 😊🇦🇺
Well I'm happy to hear you watch my videos and get excited without reading the title too much haha - that made my day! Thanks. I'll adjust the title back to what it was originally (less about the lens). Thanks again
Great job! I enjoyed watching !
Thanks so much
Another superb video mate, felt as if I was walking along with you. I really enjoyed the landscape shot at 4.33 and was crying out for you to photograph the backlit mossy branches at 9.50 (a la Adam Gibbs) 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Izzy! Tried to make this more atmospheric. Yeah I put up a shot of backlit moss around mid video, not sure what was on screen apart from the end screen at 9:50?
@@RauriBarron sorry R I meant the thin, backlit, moss strewn tree to your right at 6.40, 6.53 and 7.14. I must admit I was watching this quite early so made a booboo in terms of when it was 😂
@@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography haha I see what you’re saying! I took some shots of hanging moss n stuff but missed the ones with any nice back lighting. Thanks mate!
@@RauriBarron 🤣🙏🤣
Fantastic video Rauri! While you might have felt rushed you wouldn't know it from your images. My favourites are your "cliched path shots" 😁 but I can't decide which one I like the best....probably the 24mm vertical because the path leading in is just a touch more inviting, but the other 2 are great as well! I also really like your 2 shots at the end...I'm more and more enjoying the intimate little detail shots, both to take myself and to view, and your two here are beautiful. And great music choice at the start to really capture that peaceful, slightly mystical atmosphere of the rainforest. This video makes me want to get back up there ASAP!! PS You definitely need some gators sprayed with repellent to stop being a walking leech smorgasbord!! 🤣🤣
That's super kind thank you Lisa 😁 I do love a path shot haha, I didn't show them much, but since watching James Popsys, I thought if he does well then I can! Glad you like the music at the start as I worried it was too different, I liked it and so did my wife. I do need to up my game in regards to insect repellent 😂 next time I will at least spray my boots and lower pants.
Wow this was worth the wait! Beautiful footage and I much prefer 38mm than 24mm. Especially the image 4:39 was sensational! Between you and Jeremy I need to photograph Lamington! I can’t believe those leeches 😬 The collection at the end with 24-105 were great too!
Thanks Adrian! You’d love it and be able to spend easily a week here, it’s awesome, but seems you also have a lot of great similar places down there. Thanks for watching mate
Some really beautiful images Rauri. The path shot @4.32 caught my eye. Leeches and I don't get on.. you can keep them mate( I am allergic to them)
Great vlog!!
Thanks a lot Colin! Oh no, can you take something that helps prevent the allergies, how do you handle leech environments?
This is why I subscribed, really love this type of video, only halfway through and loving it, more of this stuff please. PS LOVED THE FOREST SOUND TRACK WAS THIS A REAL RECORDING? MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS RAURI!
Thanks so much John! Yes all audio was from the actual rainforest, the mic from the xt4 I was impressed! 😊 thanks again mate
Leeches! 😳😳
Haha not a fan?
@@RauriBarron no, they suck! 🤣🤣
@@VintageInsightPhotography 😂 nice one haha
Good stuff and amazing conditions Rauri. Is the blood on your shirt your blood, or is it from the leeches? Nasty little things, gross. Some really nice shots in this one mate. I really liked the vertical one at 2:42 with that long root leading into the shot. I think my fav shot though was the horizontal pathway shot of the big beech trees at 4:34. Nice deep dark tones in the foreground and beautiful light coming through at the top of the frame. Too bad you didn't have all day to hang out and explore a bit more. Great video mate, really enjoyed it!
Hi Paul thanks for checking in mate! Yeah my blood 😂 the leeches are pretty good at sucking the blood and I’ve heard (not sure if true) but they thin the blood around where they suck which is why it bleeds a bit after you get them off. Thanks for the support mate 😊 have a good weekend
