In this video, I revisit a spectacular geothermal area in the Icelandic highlands. This is the last in the series of videos from my trip to Iceland. If you're interested in exploring the highlands of Iceland I highly recommend that you hire the services of Thor Photography www.thor-photography.com/
On this trip, I travelled with my good buddies

Wow. Nice images and the way you show the raw files in the video. Very nice, from unedited to edited in combination with the surroundings. Shapeau!
That photo with Tom at the top is simply wonderful! Feels like a painting by one of the masters.
Glorious images, Adam. You have an artist's eye! Have thoroughly enjoyed all your Iceland photographs - what an incredible place.
Great drone intro. Awesome photo’s. I love the colours. Steam sure got the same effect as mist, so beautiful. Thnx for sharring Adam.
Fantastic introduction drawing us all in. Lovely images and great that you share your thoughts.👍🙂
These are stunningly beautiful images Adam and I can see them in an exhibition, on the wall, as a book or boxed set. Simply gorgeous. Colours are pleasing, calming as are the shapes and the steam adds atmosphere, all topped with your superb eye for processing.
Wow that was a visual experience, just incredible! Loved that image with tiny Tom in the background, really gave the photo a WOW factor - such epic landscapes. Thanks Adam for a wonderful 14 mins of joy!
Incredible landscape, footage, and images. I've already watched it twice and can't stop watching it.
Thanks Adam for being such a great inspiration!
That drone sequence at the intro, was magnificent!
The pics you showed in the video are awesome. I especially like how you show the raw file and then show the difference when you complete the editing. Great video and again...great pics!
Thanks for sharing Iceland impressions!
Great nature, time to come back!
Great examples of the stark beauty of nature. Rock on!
Allways a pleasure to watch
I've never been to Iceland; your images are sure inspiring me to pursue a trip in future. Love the way you explain the way you arrived at your beautiful compositions. BTW , I was near your neck of the woods last week and visited Englishman River Falls on the basis of one of your previous videos. Thank You :-)
You plainly enjoyed the trip a lot, it comes across in your images and the drone footage is some of the best I've seen from you in some time. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Great stuff, Adam. 👏🏻 Keep’em coming.
Fabulous video and images Adam 🙏👏👏👏
some great images loved the whole series from iceland
Tom's silhouette in that one picture really added nice scale to the photo. The hills were much bigger than I imagined. As always, inspiring stuff Adam
Stunning photos! I've got to say I didn't think anything could top your photos from China for me ... the snowy mountains ... but this Iceland series is right up there! Thanks for taking us along! Someday I'd love to visit Iceland!!
Another great video Adam, thank you.
Iceland is so unique across the entire island & a place I hope to visit someday. It brings to mind Yellowstone in my own country looking at all that steam rising from the thermal vents...
The images look great too...
Thanks Adam... :~)
Beautiful Landscape😊. So I am inspired to take photos , early in the morning 😊👍. Very good Video. Have a good day!
Wow what a beautiful place - stunning captures 😍
Those are beautiful images, Adam.
I'm looking forward to more of your forest/woodland photography.. 😁
Great video 👍🏼absolutely stunning shots 🤟🏻
Awesome shots Adam, sure I'm not the only one who would be fascinated to see how you edited these pics.
I just love your photography, I can get lost in it your art. Out of all the photography RUclips channels I watch, I get the most enjoyment and knowledge from yours.
More than OK Adam!! Another great video with some very nice captures. Love the mix of colors!
Great intro. Love the Iceland color transition. Blue to white to red. It is the land of fire and ice. Nice. Another enjoyable video with gorgeous scenes. The comps you pick call to me and I'd hope mine would be similar. The abstract moody Iceland landscape of prettiness. :)
Found your channel via the chap with legs that couldn't stop a pig in an alleyway aka Fototripper! Love your images!
Class images as ever
Love the intro drone footage! Oh how I wish I had had a drone with me in the highlands last year and years past.
Thank you for providing the opportunity to travel vicariously through your content. Awesome as always.
Nice shots and vlog mate. I also picked up the F4 videos. Great value and content!
Thanks a ton!
Beautiful shot Adam, that last one was especially spot on👍🏻
Gorgeous steam stacking work!
you're definitely low key one of the best cinematic drone pilots I've seen.
enjoyed as always
I’m envious!
Very nice, as always. Whenever I see photos of Iceland it makes me want to go there. Maybe after COVID-19.
Such an interesting place to photograph, yes, the images did work well. Such a significant contrast from Vancouver Island isn't it. Cheers.
Adam, your drone captures are stunning and well conceived. I really enjoy the way you show the raw file then the final image. Your editing is superb...it matches the esthetic that I strive to achieve in my work. Many kudos for your talent and art. I'm hopeful to meet you for a field shoot one of these days in the not too distant future.
Awesome Adam the shot with Mr Heaton in it was my favourite 👌
Hi Adam! Happy Sunday all!
Thumbs up from me mate. The processing on that first image was magical. Great work mate.
Excellent! thanks, Alister
Well, I don’t think you needed to worry at the end about not getting any decent shots on the second visit!
They were all very ethereal, but the one with Tom in the landscape, and I think the one after, with the River and vibrant green in top right, were my faves. I really liked the processing too where you’d brought out the colours. Stunning Landscape!
reeeealy liking the backlight shot at the end! Also the curve of that path worked so well earlier on. I'd be so giddy getting shots like those haha
Something very Ansel Adams(y) in the last capture. Very stunning and soothing photos!
Awesome as usual :)
Any update on shipping of Quiet Light?
wonderful
Adam Some great shots here. But I would love to see you use the D850 again for your land scapes.
Great drone footage Adam, smoother than a baby’s bottom
I’m sure TH would treasure a copy of that one Adam, superb work as ever!!
Wow! What a bunch of excellent photos from that day. 👌 I guess you have become "home blind" when yo said: "Ehh maybe the images are good and maybe not, I will see" C´mon Adam, I would jump on one leg, if I was there and saw that scenery. 😁
Those comps were just delicious .. great episode
Thanks, mate!
I hope you're selling your drone footage on Adobe Stock or somewhere. It's amazing. Lovely photos as always. Iceland looks like an incredible place. Great video, Adam.
Very nice video Adam with the steam and colorful landscape. I agree that mostly I prefer scenes without people especially when they are right there very large and there’s not a real sense of scale like your images with Tom. IMHO it’s distracting but that’s just me. Thanks for the nice work! ✊
Itchyboots was in Iceland around the same time you guys were and from her videos I kept saying "stop there! Great comp!". But she never did. sigh...... Looks like a great place to live for a year or so and really get to know it and its' people.
Beautiful. Did you find that shutter speed affected how the steam appeared in the shot? I noticed some of you shots were at 1/15. Did you try longer exposures?
Wow, watching your video and pics is like stepping off to another world. I haven't heard it mentioned in other videos, but what do you use to edit your GFX files? The mist stack with Tom on the distant hill blew my mind, killer final image!
I just use Photoshop and Lightroom, work fine for my uses.
Looks almost like another planet. One expects to find three moons or suns in the sky. Very intriguing!
The one of T.H. looks out of this world.
I thought this might have been the best Iceland video, but maybe I am just getting to know and appreciate the landscape more, as much as I can know it from afar.
That last shot was a bit saucy. How are you liking that XT4 for the filming?
I like it, definitely more wiggle room with exposure in high contrast situations.
This means Gavin's gonna have his own within the next 2-3 weeks
@@dipanoza5191 Nah, but I might fancy that GFX
@@fototripper That GFX is on sale for $1000 off and it's so tempting...
Very nice Video! Where can i buy the l Bracket?
Don't care which camera shot with, but the photography is great.
Is that a Colorado Tripod Highline Ballhead, with the lever clamp?
It is except a smaller version
@@QuietLightPhoto I'm waiting on two Mini's I ordered last month. Good things come to those who wait. ;)
Am I he only one who sees a sleeping dragon in the shot at 7:30? It’s laying on its side, the dark shape in the back ...
Anyways, breathtaking photos! Would love to visit that location some day.
Great shots! =) Do you like the 100-200 lens for the GFx? Im interested in one but haven't found many reviews on it.
I haven't used it a great deal but it seems to be a very solid lens, good sharpness and contrast, reasonably light for the focal length and happily come with a tripod collar.
@@QuietLightPhoto Thank you! There isn't many alternatives if you don't go for an adapter and say a Canon 70-200 and hope it doesn't vignettes to much! =)
yeah I have no idea if that would work and to be honest am not personally excited about using adapters for anything.
Hi Adam, I own a BH-55 ball head, which I cannot carry for most places or trips because of weight. Do you think this CTC Highline Small ball head is equally good as BH-55. My biggest concern usually with ball heads is the minor drift each time you lock the ball head and take your hands off the camera. Also we do you plan to review it?
Really great pictures. I never have been there. it must be so good to have the opportunity. In some of the processed pictures the steam is a bit too bright and harsh for my taste. half a step back to RAW so that a bit more softness is in the steam would be better.
But it is a matter of taste. Ask 10 people you probably get 10 opinions. Really great pictures anyway…
Are you using film simulations with your Fuji equipment, or just standard?
Just standard
Hi Adam, I have GFX50r, but it gives me completely black shadows (in raw). How do you properly expose the image? Do you just pull up the histogram?
Also, you're the only person to answer the question before I asked it. "Where do you people take all your music?" Epidemic, thats where.
im interested in seeing Adims video on the Fujifilm GFX100.
Superbe 👌
Maybe make a mini movie of Iceland with all the drone footage?
I am now one of your biggest fans. Wish you would tell me where you got your hat, I really want one.
My partner makes them although this one was felted as well. I will actually be selling hats on my website in the next few weeks so stay tuned. Unfortunately the felted hats take a lot longer to make so the price would be prohibitive.
Adam Gibbs thanks man, looking forward to seeing them.
👍
Where in Icleand is this Adam?
Hi Adam, lovely set of images. I noticed you’re using the Shimoda Explore bag instead of the Action X bag, do you have a preference on one over the other, and if so, what features would influence your choice? Thanks
Hard to say, both are really great bags. If I had to choose I would probably go with the Action X since I really like the roll-top and the pocket on each side for tripods since I carry two.
Difficult to perceive the scale in one shot. Looks really difficult.
I noticed that you're using the 32-64 and now the 100-200. Is there a reason why you're not using the new 45-100 lens? I guess I'm wondering if you decided that those two lenses cover all your needs.
Yes very easy, money, money and money. I currently have one on loan so perhaps there will be one in my future.
The way you edit your work has inspired me to try new things in my photography. @noitrotsid
is there a RUclips video that squarespace doesn't sponsor these days?
Probably not
I preferred the raw files because they were colder. Why warm up an image for a place like iceland which is cold? It just looks wrong and the feeling has gone.
