    Editing plays such a role in those forest photos (which are great, also well composed). If I took photos there, they would not have the impact these do due to my lacklustre editing skills - must learn!

    That just might be my favorite Nick Page video! Love the forest scenes and photos. Two moss covered thumbs up.

    Hi Nick, if you like moss covered trees, found in temperate rainforest, you'd really love a place like Tasmania. Look up places like Mount Field National park, or the Tarkine. Mount Field would be great for you as access is really easy. You don't have to hike very much to see the big trees. In mainland Australia, you also have places like that. The main one is called the Otways, about 2 hours West of Melbourne. This region is mainly known for the Great Ocean Road and the oceanscapes, but the Otway forest is nonetheless magnificent with great waterfalls, and lush forests. It is the rainiest place in Victoria.

    I have done this exact trip a few times before and it never gets old. Start in Quinault, then up to the Hoh rainforest, then sunset at Ruby beach, it's different almost every time and I can't get enough! Thank you for these lovely shots, they capture the feeling so much better than my mobile! ^__^ 100% my favourite place on earth.

    Olympic National Park might be one of the more beautiful forests I've seen. You came away with some exeptional photos friend. I have a soft spot for moss cloth trees as well, and that beach.. What a day mate. Beautiful work!

    I was out there last weekend and had the same issue with the sun. Hiked up the Hoh trail in nothing but sun. No photos to be had with all the shadows and bright spots. Still able to get some awesome shots around Lake Crescent and the Quinault. No clouds at the beach though so I didn't stay.

    @kevindickinson3600 6 лет назад

  • @csandgren5135
    @csandgren5135 6 лет назад

    Wonderful, Nick! I’ve been to both areas several times. You picked an awesome time to go to the rainforest. The summer and fall months are pretty dry so not too much very green moss. Great lesson in composition especially in the messy forest, now I can’t wait to go back again.

    Thanks for sharing Nick. You had a uniquely beautiful sky at Ruby Beach. The Hall if mosses never disappoints. One of my favorite locations in the entire park. We had a similar itinerary back in September. I think off all National Park in Washingston St Olympic is my favorite because of its diversity. North Cascades definitely makes you hike and work for any image. Cheers.

    @ravenfallsphotography6254 6 лет назад

    I'm amazed…I didn’t think it was possible to get great images from Hoh *and* Ruby on the same day! Generally, good light for one automatically means bad light for the other, but you managed to find places in the rainforest that made for good captures even without solid overcast. Very impressive; I'd also really like seeing a tutorial video on processing some of those Hoh shots, especially the one used at the very end of your video.

You clearly are knowledgeable and have great tips to offer, but you give a personable touch to your videos too. You just seem like a pretty cool, down-to-earth guy with a passion for landscapes and nature! I would love to make my way to Washington state and capture some of these beautiful landscapes. By the way, do you have links to the music you included in this video? It's calming and inspiring. Great job on the videos!

I moved to Whidbey Island in 2019 so I haven’t been able to go back since moving here from the Hood Canal Bridge area. I will be going to Olympic, Mt Rainier, Mount Saint Helens, and North Cascades within the next five months so your video has helped me to try and improve my amateur photography. I was wondering if you could share the link to your backpack and tripod used in this video? The link shared for the tripod isn’t valid when I click on it. Thanks in advance.
