Ahhhh, how I envy you, Dave! A trip down memory lane from my younger years... If I learned ANYTHING from four years in the Coast Guard, and a bunch of years working SAR, it's simply this...while you can lose your fear of Mother Nature, the wise person NEVER loses their respect! Cheers, Dave and be careful out there, k?
Hi Dave, I have learned so much from your videos and web page. I recently watched your hyperfocal distance video and you mentioned your metering of choice I believe is spot metering. If so, why do you prefer that over matrix metering? Also, my Nikon D5600 doesn't allow me to see the histogram so I'm wondering how to expose to the right without my camera having this feature? Thanks so much
Dave, I have been throughly enjoying watching and learning from your videos. I have been on your website and I am interested in the Pro plus education option. I looked for a direct email, but it appears that using your comments section is your preferred method of initial contact. Could you please share with me a little bit more what is involved with the image critiques and the download of RAW files (is that us sharing with you are work for comment?). I happen to love in Vancouver (the Canadian one), besides your amazing sounding 3 day workshops, do you offer 1/2 day sessions/workshops (in the field and/or on the computer)? Thanks, please feel free to DM or answer here.
Hey James, Good to hear from you. You can submit images anytime you like and I'll do image critiques for your images. There is a huge library of image critiques in the school already as well. The RAW files are for all of the photo editing videos in the school. There are 30+ start to finish photo editing videos in there now with more being added consistently. This lets you edit the photos while you learn from the videos. Test it out. I have a 90 day money back guarantee. That's the best way to find out if you like it. In regards to workshops, I only do 3 day workshops. Anything less than that and it's hard to make a big impact on teaching someone all of the skills! My email is Support@DaveMorrowPhotography.com if you have questions:)
Hi Dave. Have been following your photography and tutorials for quite some time. Given your extended wilderness trips, I am curious to know what solar power bank you use to recharge your camera batteries and other electronic devices. Thanks in advance!
Hey Dave! Enjoyed the video with respect to wildlife, I have never been attacked in the woods by wildlife. But in a park in Calgary I was attacked by a Canada Goose :)
Hey Dave now that your using the Nikon z system have you had any trouble with histogram accuracy when using the ETTR teqnique and did you stick to using Center wheighted averaging?
I tell you what, Dave: your channel helped me rediscover my love for the outdoors. In the past two years I've done a lot of rock climbing, camping, photography but I've been going crazy because I felt my love for climbing slowly evaporate and I didn't know what the matter was. In the past few weeks, I realized: I was missing the sense of adventure. It was always: show up to the crag, climb, then go to an established campsite, sleep, repeat. It all felt like an outdoors climbing gym. But there are so many beautiful and remote places in my country that take a lot of hiking and exploring to get to, virtually untouched by the masses because of how remote they are. So I slowly let go of crag climbing and started focusing more on the adventure aspect of things: multi-day hikes, exploration, hiking off the beaten path, navigation, etc. and my love for all things mountain came back with a fervor. Your YT channel isn't the most flashy, trendy, dime-a-dozen photography channel, I like how simplistic and to-the-point it is.
Have you done a lot of warm (i.e., hot!), humid, buggy hiking and camping? I'm asking because that's how it is where I live (Louisiana, south US). Winters are cool, rarely cold but almost always damp to very wet. Summers are hot, hazy, humid, mosquito-y and often very stagnant. It's easy to overheat. Spring and fall are brief and minimal, only quick transitions between hot / humid and cool-coldish / humid. Just curious.
@@DaveMorrow It was 100F and 55% humidity during the day last week. Ugh. Cooled all the way down to 78 at night @95%. Such are southern summers... Ick.
Howdy Dave. Two questions as someone who’s been in WA fit four year and finally has a car. 1) aren’t you worried about car prowlers? Or do you stay away from the big name trails on i90 etc? 2) permits are hard to obtain. I’m guessing you stick to forest service walk up permits or forest service land dispersed camping?
Awesome video as always! I know I keep saying that every time, but I love your work. Do you have many problems with ticks on your backpacks in Northern CA and the Cascades in Washington? I'm thinking of using some airline credits next June to come out there. I lived next to Glacier Park for 20 years--in Florida now(BUG city) I'm good with bears, lions,etc. but HATE ticks. Thanks for all you do for us photographers.
well made, attention grabbing video of your first 3 days hiking - relay like the way you took your short videos and time-lined them together. Stunning landscape with sound grabbing effect. Here in the Scottish Highlands the most ferocious wild beast I will come across is the midge, fiercely relentless 🥴
Great video Dave. My family spent two weeks dayhiking in Olympic and near Mt. Rainier arround Memorial Day. Your intro made me feel like I was back there. I hope to actually get back someday. A question I have for your next q&a video is about lightning safety. I live in central Georgia and lightning is a possibility every day during the summer. Since we mostly day hike, I try to plan on being off the higher elevations by noon. Are there things I can do to minimize risk while hiking and backpacking? Thanks.
Thanks Dave, very enjoyable as always . I have to say I really think your videos, along with the tips, advice and insights you share, are some of the best content I’ve found on RUclips. Really awesome stuff, keep up the fantastic work, buddy 👌🏼
I couldn’t agree more with the point you made about pushing yourself hard in the wilderness and how relatively easy the rest of life seems. I have a different type of full time job but for me all I need is one long hike and a 3 day solo every couple of months and it keeps everything in perspective.
As usual, Dave, your opening video was simply Magic, as a Z7 user myself it is good to know the camera is doing well is those testing conditions. Look forward to your next video.
The only solution to poison is get to an emergency room ASAP for anti-venom. NEVER try to suck the poison out. No poisonous anything west of the cascades in the Pacnw.
Thank you again for your amazing content!! I have learned so much from you. This weekend my friends and I are going to attempt a Mount Whitney, so stoked! I’m just bringing a little Ricoh GR for this one and focusing on the challenge
With black bears you "fight" back....make noise, wave your arms. Brown bears = lie down. I backpack in the Olympic Natioal Forest and Park and it is rare that I see a black bear. More marmots, eagles, deer and rabbits than bears. Great photography. You've rekindled my photographer spirit. Thank you!
Dangerous advice. Fighting back is the very last resort. This should never happen if your first steps with dealing with the bear are correct. The goal is to look intimidating, loud, and large while slowly backing away. Bears have horrible sight. You can get a ton of distance between you and it while it's trying to decide what you are. You want to make it appear to the bear that it's a bad idea to come towards you. Once a bear's mind snaps into conflict mode you're in big trouble. Fighting back means all of your other methods failed and the bear is on top of you. Once you get deep into the Olympics it's swimming with bears. Have seen 10 already this year and it's a high snow year in early season. Glad you like the videos!

Agreed. It's an inverse relationship. More respect, less fear.

Dave that gorgeous video Lady sure makes those big hikes worth the added effort .... Magic country ..... Photography is rather gorgeous too :)
Great Video. Helpful tips. Thank you.
You are truly an inspiration Dave.
Thanks Chip! Really appreciate you watching. It was a fun video to make!

Hi Dave. Have been following your photography and tutorials for quite some time. Given your extended wilderness trips, I am curious to know what solar power bank you use to recharge your camera batteries and other electronic devices. Thanks in advance!
Thanks! Solar is garbage for charging imo. Too heavy and doesn't work. Battery brick weighs less and always works. Charge overnight in tent.
Hey Dave! Enjoyed the video with respect to wildlife, I have never been attacked in the woods by wildlife. But in a park in Calgary I was attacked by a Canada Goose :)
haha. I believe it. "Tamed" animals are crazy!
Hey Dave now that your using the Nikon z system have you had any trouble with histogram accuracy when using the ETTR teqnique and did you stick to using Center wheighted averaging?
Hey, no I haven't that camera is a beast. Always CWA meter.
The trip planning section of Dave's online school, which includes sections on weather/Windy, is worth the price of admission.
Thanks so much Chris!

Love to hear it! Like you said, the adventure is the key. I have the exact same issue if the old adventure gets stale. Thanks man!
So glad I found this channel. No BS just straight up quality content..
Thanks Alan!
those are some tall trees!!! (I live in the desert)
You would have made a great Frontiersman opening this great country 👍
I love reading books about that era. Have you read Fur Trappers of the Far West? It can be hard to find. Also Undaunted Courage is a great read too.
Have you done a lot of warm (i.e., hot!), humid, buggy hiking and camping? I'm asking because that's how it is where I live (Louisiana, south US).

Just curious.
No I haven't. 70 degrees with low humidity is my max operating temp. Love being up high in the mountains, weather & snow.
@@DaveMorrow It was 100F and 55% humidity during the day last week. Ugh. Cooled all the way down to 78 at night @95%. Such are southern summers... Ick.

Dude, this edit rocks! The pacing (quick clips straight to the point), the raw sound, and great compositions. I could watch that all day.
Thanks!

And it’s not something that is relegated to the hardcore by any means. Most people have no idea what they are capable of.
Completely agree. @@jiggyb21
Nice overview of landscape photography and your approach to the wilderness that helps make it all possible.
Great start to your video Dave, the method and style of editing proved sometimes you don’t need words to convey a story. Interesting Q&A as well
I am into going out at night, albeit driving and short hikes and my concern is not bears and cougars but skunks. Go figure.
Simply gorgeous footage. Beautiful job!
As usual, Dave, your opening video was simply Magic, as a Z7 user myself it is good to know the camera is doing well is those testing conditions.
Look forward to your next video.
Z7 video is really solid!
Bester Mann! 😎
Poisonous snakes?
The only solution to poison is get to an emergency room ASAP for anti-venom. NEVER try to suck the poison out. No poisonous anything west of the cascades in the Pacnw.

Nice! Have fun up there. It's an awesome range of mountains.
@@DaveMorrow thank you friend !!
I love the ambient sounds of the area!
Awesome. It's relaxing to listen to!
Very impressive, Dave.
Great video Dave!
Well said Dave! Cheers from Lake Stevens.
Thanks. Good to hear from you man!
@@DaveMorrow likewise, always good watching your videos.
