    Ever since beginning photography, Ive always loved going into the forest or being among trees and thinking about what is the best way for me to capture how I feel when Im in this environment. Its difficult to compose an image for me and several years in, I still struggle (perhaps because I live in a concrete jungle) but I look to accomplish this one day.

  • @luzr6613
    @luzr6613 5 месяцев назад +2

    Love the shots. I live in a mountainous rainforest so i'm somewhat aware of the difficulties. One thing i would say is that the 'chaos' is a fact of these environments - one that doesn't play easily with a particular perspective on what photography 'should be' - but is that a problem with the forest or is it a problem with how we view photography and its purpose(s)? Are we too averse to The Real - the actual-factual that we consider to be 'chaos'. Do we do a disservice to both scene and audience when we over-simplify for (our current version of) aesthetic 'imperatives'?

    • @AndyMumford
      @AndyMumford  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for the comment, really glad you like the images. I totally agree that chaos is a fact and indeed an attraction of these environments, and that's part of the reason we went. I hope I didn't give the impression that this was a problem of the forest, other than it's a photography puzzle that takes time and thought to solve. I certainly wasn't averse to it and loved my time there.
      So I wouldn't say we're averse to the real, but it's a fact that our brains prefer harmony to chaos. It's a matter of information processing. Think of an orchestra...many instruments playing harmoniously together...but if all those instruments are playing individually, without harmony, then it becomes a noise. Our brain doesn't deal well with the volume of information it can't separate out. This isn't a modern thing, it's been around in all music for as long as we've been creating it across different cultures, and even music which doesn't easily follow those conventions (freestyle jazz or traditional Japanese music like kabuki) still needs some form of structure for it to not be chaos and for the brain to be able to process it.
      You could say the same about poetry, and how it takes the complex structures of descriptive prose, and crafts it into more harmonious structures.
      So I don't think it has anything to do with current aesthetic imperatives, photographic composition is rooted in the fundamentals of much of art, that of creating balance from chaos, and the imperative of that revolves around the way our brain interprets the information it's presented with. To much of it, to much noise, and we start to edit stuff out to make it more palatable and easier to digest, and on a personal level my photography has long leaned towards the search for simplicity, balance and harmony in how I create my work.

    • @tomheim9516
      @tomheim9516 5 месяцев назад

      This point, together with Andy's response, is a very interesting topic. The pursuit of bringing order to 'chaos' in nature is part of the human process of creating art. We start with a blank canvas or a jumbled one, depending on our point of view and our concept of where we would like to end up. Point of view is certainly influenced by (among other things) culture. Andy makes a great comparison to music. Western music has currently evolved to incorporate a 12 tone scale in which major and minor keys play a major role (along with church modes, used more frequently in jazz). Music in other parts of the world can be very different. This really is a fascinating area of discussion but I'll stop here 🙂 Great video!

    I feel your pain! I've been spending a bit of time on Scotland's west coast recently and have become attracted to the remnants of the Caledonian temperate rain forest. Not on the same epic scale as the Pacific Northwest, but a similar environment; mosses, lichens, ferns. It's an achingly beautiful landscape but, as you say, taming the chaos is a challenge! I think this is the sort of environment that lends itself to a body of work, marrying the wider compositions with details and even abstracts, presented as a panel, book or wall of framed prints.
    I found it very instructive having you voice your thoughts as you were feeling your way through, to you, an unfamiliar photographic environment. Thanks for making the video.

    If I may be so presumptive as to offer some advice, instead of looking for one focal point in the forest, I find it useful to look for several and then see if I can make a composition that brings them together in harmony. A group shot instead of a portrait, if you will. Can I also say how damn jealous I am of the opportunity to shoot these locations! Your Hoh Forest images are my favorites here.

    What a great video! It was great seeing how you approached a new environment and thinking about how I would approach the locations you found. Never shot in a forest, either.
    One idea that came to mind with the stream you found and the lack of a focal object being a real problem. I thought that maybe getting low and wide, and using the water as a base or platform with the branches and sky opening upward instead of all objects converging mid-frame might be interesting. Could also look extremely hokey. Did you try any odd angles like this in your forest photography, and if so, did they come out well?
    That shot at 12:30 is just beautiful!

    • @AndyMumford

      Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. I think getting low to the river...the river would have been an awfully large area of empty space.

      Thanks for the comment.

If I'd been using the GFX though, many of these would have had to be focus stacked.

    @nicolasbertin8552 5 месяцев назад

    I was here just last September, and in the end what worked for me is too get rid of as much light, especially sky in the frame, as possible. It seems like you did the opposite. I was looking forward to cloudy days so I could focus on the texture of the trunks. And rain makes that texture pop, which you can use. I tried to go the backlit way like you did, but for me it doesn't work, because this is not how the forest feels when I'm walking in it. It's not bright and dreamy, for me it's imposing and rough, you feel in awe. So I just removed the sky completely, focused on the bark, the moss, the few geometric shapes I could find. Ironically you had way too much sun during that trip. In Olympic, if it's sunny you go to the mountains, to Hurricane Ridge and Obstruction point. And if it's rainy, yeah Hoh rainforest and Quinault rainforest. In fact, I prefered the Quinault area. In the Redwoods area, by far the best area for me was Prairie Creek, which was what the ranger said to me, and he was right. It had the longest hikes, the largest trees (except the "secret" grove in the national park that you have to book in advance), and nice diversity. I was also pleasantly surprised to see some nice old growth in Mount Rainier National Park, although Olympic and Redwoods were still better. It's just nothing like Europe, we just don't have that here, we destroyed all of our old growth forest except for tiny pockets in Norway and Poland...

    • @AndyMumford
      @AndyMumford  5 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the comment. We went to the forests because my friend whom I was travelling with has always wanted to shoot there, so we were never going to go to the mountains, and actually we had very little sun (just a few moments in the redwoods, and one afternoon in Hoh, when I did the sunstars) and for the most part if was raining. There's very little sky in any of the images, but what we did get was mist, which I really leaned into.

    Did you use the xt5 handheld for many shots? What sort of shutter speeds could you comfortably get to with the IBIS?

      Thanks for the comment. None of the images was taken handheld. Light levels really were too low there

    Loved this episode, Andy and it gave me a perspective to never ignore exploring new and unexplored opportunities, like you did in this, of Forest photography. I follow Adam Gibbs and he navigates this landscape often, living out of Vancouver Island. Thank you for this adventure.

    Listen to the landscape, great video but you are struggling because you cant apply conventional landscape photography rules there. It’s all in the details, closer crops etc

      Oh, absolutely you should listen to the landscape, but I don't completely agree that the only solution is in details and tighter crops. Like any new landscape it takes time to tune into it's rhythms and what works, but by the end of my time there I was happy with my images, very few of which are details or tight crops.
