When I'm a mission like that I have one (maybe two) concepts I want to shoot. Then I have the usual shots close at hand (macro's, close ups, random eye catching scene like a mystery wooded drive to perhaps a cabin....). In your intro I saw a red maple leaf stuck to a tree, a green fury line of trees with very open spaces in front and a single fuzzy tree that I would have grabbed. Perhaps not calendar shots, but they get the minds eye lubed up (and may look good on the computer later for Facebook...:D ) - helps set the mood. Like they said earlier - gotta be flexible and open minded. Then you can tell Adam you got some good shots (never mind what they are good for......) and that will drive him a bit crazy. A two-for! :^) Just got back from Minnesota so seeing that nice cool weather again was good for the soul.
Yes, keeping an open mind (and eye!) is definitely better than pressuring yourself with expectations. That way you can enjoy whatever you find, especially in new places! Woodland photography is challenging for sure, but always so wonderful just to be in the middle of it all.
Woodland photography is always a challenge, unless there is great light or fog, at least here in Australia. Thank you for the video, enjoyable as always
I like it when multiple photographers that I watch get together. I would like to watch the two of you interact with each other on a single shot. That would be interesting to watch.
Hi Paul , I’ve had one of those artists viewfinders for years, never used it , but gave it a try in the Lakes a couple of weeks ago and wow what a brilliant little device you can change the aspect ratio etc and see if comps work easily without stopping and getting the camera out, just a thought for those times when nothing is is jumping out at you. Good to see you out and about with Adam again have a great trip
"nice informative vid, great location, I often talk myself out of taking images because things aren't quite right😏which is no great loss! but you must feel a bit of pressure being in an epic location as BC to produce some great results! and you have produced some great results. cheers👍
This shot looks magical Paul the light reflecting on the Leaves look like faires flying towards you.
Nice work Paul. 👌

Great video Paul! Your thoughts on new environments were bang on…I’ve experienced that myself in the past too. Enjoy yourself out there in BC!
@@NathanGPhotos Thanks so much Nathan 😁✌️

I live on Vancouver Island and find it difficult to find order in the chaos of the forest! Great job Paul.
Thanks so much Dennis hope you are enjoying the Uk my friend 😁✌️

Thanks Andrew great tip mate 😁✌️
Nice to see that you’re still using a camera that most of us can afford.
Good stuff as usual. 😊
Thanks so much Paul 😁✌️
Nice to see you back in Canada. Well done on this theoretically introductory video as you begin to immerse yourself back into the woodland.
@@GeorgeKom-df4jr Thanks buddy 😁✌️
Nice one, Paul.
Nicely done Paul, new locations are always a challenge
@@AnotherBoring43yearold Thanks so much mate 😁✌️

That was not a recovery basket dangling from a rescue copter. It was a giant grizzly being relocated to that forest area. Good luck!
That helicopters waiting for that strange British guy to trip over and twist his ankle 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤣
