You will never remember the time you stayed in your bed, but you will remember this morning with this light in a few years. A morning with this light allows you to create "magical panoramas". Thank you for sharing these beautiful conditions.
I so relate to all this, Adam. I hauled my fat arse out of bed an hour before dawn on Sunday and drove out to a beautiful place in freezing cold shit weather, only to be greeted by a blanket of grey. But I waited and waited, and then waited a some more. Two hours later, the sun broke through the clouds and the light was BLOODY EPIC. The universe rewarded me for my dogged determination and patience. It was glorious, and I laughed all the way home. Three lessons I re-learned: 1. Get out the door. 2. Ignore the weather forecast. 3. Don’t quit too early. 😊
Sounds awesome. You're right too.......The weather forecast can be useful but should be ignored more often than not.
All that you said about getting out there in nature with your camera making your little problems fade and getting some relief from your bigger problems was all spot on for me. Enjoyed the video.
This is the universes way of telling you to get out there more often. I'm sure we would all appreciate seeing you each time too :)
Thanks. I think you might be right.
Wow Adam, that last HDR panorama shot was amazing! It's sometimes difficult to do nature justice, but you certainly did.👍👍👍.
Thanks Mark. I really appreciate that.
What a corker, great stuff again Adam. God rays are just the best ☀️
The whole video looked like a cheat code. Absolutely mind bending light and images. I’m jealous of those condition.
Thank you for sharing it with us ✌️
Ha thanks. I shared the cheat code at end......take the first step out the door.
Wow! You really found a magnificent evening of light. I was wishing that I could have been on that same hillside. Accept for the bugs!
Wow Adam! - Thank you so very much for bringing us along. Oh the bugs - we have them a lot in the midwest USA. We use "dryer sheets and a product called "Bug Soother" and it works the best. Both as a golfter and landscape photographer, bugs are the worst. I usually will spray (BS) on my clothing and the dryer sheets I just place one in the back of my hat and belt (the more, the better) they work. Stay cool. :o)
Ha ha ha, greatest video start!!!
Again, thank you for your work, motivation and for your art.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ha. Thanks for noticing. The drive to the location is a significant part of the shoot, so I thought I’d start sharing some thoughts during that time.
Just incredible Adam 😮😮😮, every shot was Epic! I was shouting ‘stop talking and look behind You’ at the TV, when those light rays kicked in on the Sunset Pano 😂😂😂😂😂 another Amazing Video, Congrats. MOJO Fully restored 😊😊😊😊
I think your voice travelled through time, because i heard it, and turned.
It‘s a nice you‘re inspiring us with your videos and you‘re inspired by us commenting on them.
Thank you for sharing those beautiful moments and pictures with us.
So nice to see you have got your mojo back, stunning set of images, especially the panoramas
A great vantage point, wonderful images tonight Adam, quite spectacular... Good to see you in such high spirits too. 😊😊😊
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
You only experience amazing sunset vistas like this if you go out to see them. That was a superb sunset shot, and while it might happen in a similar way some time in the future, you have the proof that it happened at least once. And you were there to see it.
I love photography, it's one of the best motivations for going outside because you get to bring home a 'concrete' memory of the adventure to look at and share.
Cheers Adam.
Your enthusiasm is contagious, Adam. I have started printing some of my photos and built a few frames--nothing quite like taking the product clear to completion.
Well done Adam this week's show was really up there I look forward to your shows every week keep up the great work
Thanks Scoota
Thanks so much. Appreciate your time.
Great stuff, Adam. Pleased you;re back in the game. Great images as usual.
I could sense your positive mojo through this video. I've lost a bit of mine recently and your presentation is truly inspiring. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for your nice videos. Apart from the beautiful photographs they contain, they also contain a psychological encouragement to never give up and never lose our love for photography. Thank you and we look forward to more such creative videos.
Thanks. Really appreciate that comment.
Nothing more to say but WOW! Thank you Adam.
Wow, thanks Terry!
Having that scenery at your doorstep must be incredible, I live in Norfolk and a mole hill is about as extreme as it gets soooo keep pushing, keep producing the wonderful content you make and keep your spirits up. Honestly you’ve helped me loads already with the process of shot making and printing, that in itself should inspire you to keep moving forwards :)
Thanks for the inspiration - It's time to get back out there again
I consider these shots to be the best you’ve ever taken. Stunning. I wish I could have seen them in person. Great job.
Wow, thank you!
The one CZcams channel I always come back to. Great video!
Thanks so much
Great video Adam stunning pano's you can beat the Lakes for epic light
Awesome video, Adam, and the sentiments at the end were spot on too! Absolutely gorgeous last image.
Thanks Ian. Really appreciate it.
Great video Adam. Definitely got your mojo back 🎉
Very creative move with the long lens and wild flowers in the foreground. I really liked your compositions.
Cheers Tom, appreciate it
Hi Adam, I am always so glad to be notified that you have posted a new video. Your pictures are just amazing. Can’t wait for the next one once you’re ready to do so. I’ll be here patiently waiting my friend. 😊
Back with a vengeance 😄
Those cotton grass heads balanced beautifully with the puffs of cloud above. Nicely done.
And the last one was okay too 😁
Such a majestic sunset . Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and hike much enjoyed watching.
Hi Adam, I have watched most of your content and continue to be inspired by your honesty and decency. Again a wonderful experience watching you doing your thing as you were eaten alive. You are so right about often losing the desire to get out there but once you push yourself it is always worth the effort. Keep up the good work. Take care 🙂🙂
That light is epic.
Truly!!
Those conditions at the end of the video were incredible, the atmosphere and colour, WOW. Great advice and a wonderful video. All the very best for your new project with the complete package by making bespoke frames.
Excellent video Adam. Working on one’s mojo is always a work in progress. Glad you’re back up to speed.
Thank you so much my friend for sharing your story and outstanding images. I really enjoy watching your videos. Not to many people get to climb does beautiful mountains and catch does fantastic nature moments like you my friend Awesome work 👍👍👍👍👍 my big Like!!
I just love watching your videos Adam. Your enthusiasm for your photography is inspiring. Ive watched your videos since I started my Photography 7 years ago and I can totally relate to you when you get excited about what is unfolding in front of you. I get excited when I see a new video out. Looking forward to the next one
The colors were incredible. Your work is stunning.
Your images are sooo good…and so are you! Thanks for taking me along!
Thanks Adam! Best wishes from Canada.
Same to you! Thanks so much
Very well said once again as all photographers has to be reminded
Incredible beauty Adam. Just stunning
Beautfiul video and images Adam. What a way to end your day - stunning 😊😊
Cheers Paul. Thanks for the comment
Well, that was special - what superb light. Fully agree with your comment that getting out the door is half the battle and once you are the photography will carry you along. And that's virtually anywhere, not just in spectacular countryside.
One word: Fabulous!
I thought I had experienced a great sunset on the Mendips a few weeks ago, but that sunset you captured was another level; nice work. I can certainly identify with your message about being out there and in the moment. I have wildflowers under foot, birds singing and a sky that I will remember for a very long time. Best of all, I bagged a great bonus image on the way to my sunset location too. Makes up for the dull days and unproductive mid-summer blues.
Love that first image
Great video, and absolutely epic panorama pictures...
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent video Adam 📸🌅👏such an incredible panorama of the spectacular sunset 😊your videos are a real encouragement to me
Great to hear you have your mojo back, the light on the mist was unbelievable. Love the image.
Fantastic images Adam. makes the effort worthwhile.
Many thanks, Martin.
Terrific video with wonderful images! Glad you got your mojo back!
Great to see you feeling so much positivity Adam and what can be said about those images other than they are a fabulous collection from a very productive day. I’m on Teeside this weekend and had a damp start to the day at Whitby this morning and heading to Redcar tomorrow morning but irrespective of what I capture, being out is the main benefit with the opportunity to savour the start of a new day and as you said to put things into a perspective 🙂
Ha. Now you’re really in my neck of the woods. Went to school in Redcar.
Amazing! Thanks for getting out there and sharing your passion.
Adam, you keep doing you buddy. Love your work, truly do. You got me printing my own work. Wasn't certain about it at first but now it's a kind of trophy for me to realize what I went to, to get the photo.
Happy to hear you've got your Mojo back 🙂
Some spectacular scenery there Adam
Thanks David. Hope the exhibition is going well.
@@Firstmanphotography Thanks Adam, it's been well received by the visitors so far
What beautiful images and that amazingly gorgeous light you experienced as Mother Nature showed off her splendour 👍😊
Love the video mate but you’re right getting out the door is the hardest part.
Magnificent images. I'm in the middle of another health problem and your images take me out and remind me what the world gives us. Thanks.
Great stuff as always Adam. Thanks from Canada.
My pleasure Rick!
Absolutely fantastic video Adam! I've been suffering from some anxiety recently and the way you describe coming out into nature and realising that those little worries are meaningless in the grand scheme of things, it's actually made me feel better. So thank you so much for that! Really looking forward to Heather In Bloom next month, see you there! :-)
Beautiful work 📷🙏 Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely amazing. Your videos are educational, but most of all inspiring. THANK YOU!!!!
Epic photography! Good on you Adam.
Incredible light!! I found myself shouting at the screen: "Stop talking to me, you fool! Turn around and capture it!"
Ha ha!! And I did!!
Beautiful scenery
Always super inspirational. I definitely need some lately. ❤
Good to see you such chipper mood! I quit the booze 18 years ago, when I became a single parent, and have never missed it. Never even tempted to sneak an alcoholic drink! What LUT did you apply to the drone footage? It has a very golden glow.
Amazing light, great shots. Touché mon brave.
Thanks Tim, really appreciate it.
Well said. Beauty is all around, and it's always a fear that beauty should be captured as it deserves. Most of the time, I feel that way as I find nature so beautiful. I am always afraid to capture it through my lenses and let others experience it as I see through my eyes and experience it live. You have done justice to momentary beauty by capturing it so beautifully and sharing it visually and verbally so amazingly. Thank you.
Stunning panoramic views and fabulous photos and hiking hills to get there keep you in shape 💪 😁
Amazing landscape! keep it up
Great shots, fabulous colours and it's so good to hear that there is at least one photographer left that can manage the word "Panorama" rather than just saying "Pano"
Wonderful shots. You aren’t wrong beer will kick your ass 🤣.
That was special light. Off to look at your store..
Great shots!!
Looks like blencathra in the background. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I’ve been. I need to get over there. Just need to push myself.
Really enjoyed the video 👌
Very nice! At 6:53 you have the photo of the dead tree with the puffy clouds on the branches. With the cotton grass it looks like they are paying homage to an ancient ancestor.
i have a question but I think the answer is obvious but when bracketing an image and a panorama , do you merge the bracketed images first then merge the panorama?
It's a good question.....i've had little success with it in the past. On this occasion i allowed Lightroom to combine them all at once, HDR and pano. It did work but some of the edges of the mountains looked a bit funny. In the end i combined the HDR's first and then did the pano and this gave a better result. Took a bit longer, but well worth it.
love it lol the footballs on haha
Wow, what an amazing sceneryand image Adam. One is certainly at one with the landscape .Did you use a polarizer on the panoramic picture,. Love your work, keep sharing . Malc fro. ESSEX
that photos are stunning...❤i always try to capture better sun set photos like this but my camera is not enough for it...if you ever come to my village im sure you will take the best sunset images in world
Forget the mojo. I need to go out and take your kind of pics but I need a better camera to do it. I know it’s not about the kit but mine is failing and I have no idea what to replace it with. But if you are planning photos at a grand nought left for the camera and glass. You are seriously good.
Amazeballs Adam! Great video loved it! When do you think the new book may drop?
Amazing as always! Do they not have bug spray in the UK??
Yeah, but generally only need it a handful of times per year. I was therefore unprepared.
You need to switch to bourbon. 😍
so how did you combine the pano shots? did you do a HDR with the bracketed shots first then do a pano or just combine all the shot off the bat?
Two words. Insect repellent. Part of my Summer nature photography kit. I do a lot crawling around in the grasses and on the forest floor. Keeps the mosquitoes, chiggers and ticks away.
