Did Thomas steal that joke out of a landscape photography joke book or did he come with that on his own? Pretty funny. I'm going to use that one going forward.
They make a pretty nifty clamp that attaches to your tripod and holds an umbrella with the other clamp end which I like to keep in my bag for bad weather shooting... That way you keep the rain off your gear and can focus without having to worry about rain droplets. They have a bunch of options on amazon
""What's nice about when you have a little bit of rain on everything is everything is more saturated." Oh, the depth of insight in this channel. Even the simplest things become soaked with profundity. No wonder so many of us love it. (Seriously, great video.)
We have a word in Scotland to describe that weather - 'Dreich' - wet, dull, dismal, dreary, gloomy, drizzly, cold, misty, miserable or any combination thereof. But it was still a good vlog.
I watched this video when you first posted it 2 years back, but forgot it was shot in the Hoh Rainforest. Today I was in the Hall of Mosses trail, and saw this exact same stand of trees, and went "OH! I've seen this in that Nick Page/Thomas Heaton video before!" So cool to be there in person.
Oh man I live here in Forks, Wa wish we could have met up. Right now we have a foot of snow though. I used to work in this weather everyday when I was logging back in the day.
Enjoyed this video. Living in SW England, I'm very familiar with these kind of conditions. But I have to ask why didn't you use the xxxxx umbrella to shield camera and lens from the rain??! I assumed that's what it was for. It's what I carry an umbrella for - I don't need it, I have a hood on my jacket for that!!
Tell Tom hello & welcome to the Pacific Northwest again, from the lady who had the American Avocet photo he critiqued at PhotoPills 2019. Love how you show off the eastern parts of WA & OR, Nick! It isn’t just a bunch of nothin’ full of sagebrush. Thanks for what you do. Christy
Nick, thanks for doing that. I've been finding myself out in the rain a lot lately, and it was helpful to see how you dealt with it (or not) and where the limits actually are. Well done. G
Sorry for all the bad luck and bad weather. While I have not had equipment issues like you did, I have had the rain issues while shooting in The Columbia River Gorge. It makes for a challenging day. But, even with all your troubles, you still made the video very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing!!
Good video Nick. I have a saying, "you can't fail or succeed it you don't go out and try", great to see you showing everyone it isn't always peaches and cream. Tell Tom hi.
I think you are a perfect candidate for some Canon weather sealing haha. Wont be surprised to see a switch back when they release the new high res R this year.
@@NickPage ah, didnt you say you were getting corrosion too? Not trying to pick apart gear, just was doing a little friendly brand teasing haha. Really love the channel btw, I've watched your stuff for years, noticed the quality really skyrocket!
A few months ago I suffered a similar accident when my A7RIII parted company with the tripod. Unfortunately the camera dropped onto a stony path and whilst the camera survived the 55mm f1.8 lens was not so lucky and was damaged beyond repair. Luckily I was insured and the lens was replaced. I always use a Peak Design wrist strap rather than a shoulder strap when walking around with the camera and I've now gotten into the habit of looping the wrist strap under the head of the tripod ball head when mounting the camera on the tripod, so far this has saved one potential disaster.
Nick you handled your camera challenges quite well. I had a similar experience with my old Canon. On day 2 of a 12 day trip my camera fell off the bullhead on to the rocks in Joshua Tree National Park. Broke my wide angle lens; which was actually a buddy’s. I had to make due with a telephoto until a few days later when a replacement arrived when I was in Death Valley. A frustrating experience. How I didn’t let out a blood curdling cry, I do not know.
Large cut-out ziplock bag - most issues solved. But also using an umbrella. This is what I do during monsoon season in India, for what it's worth. Great video! I haven't been to the Olympic National Park in years.
Omg. I baby my gear sooo much and would freak out if even a small drop of water landed on my camera, but look at what I'm missing out on. Might make this my New Years resolution, get out and get wet lol. Love the beautiful forest rain and all. Keep shooting
Without saying it you give a good reason to always have a backup camera on special trips. A backup camera may be an added expense but when you measure it against the value of a trip to a special location an extra camera may be worth it...just a thought.
Was it The Rolling Stones who said “You can’t always get what you want”? Nice to see pros saying the same and there are number of you...I think that’s why you have such a great following, and Thomas as well...
Great to see how you dealt with the adversity. I was just out in the Tacoma area and planned to get out to the Olympics but my adversity was the mixture of Family, Holidays and Photography. Something had to give and I'll give you 3 guesses which one lost.
Challenging conditions but better than the dry, sunny weather I had when I was there a few years ago. Man was I dissapointed back then. But in the end such failures make us treasure the wins even more ;-)
Just awesome! Great to see you guys hanging out been following both of you for a few years now, and awesome leaving us hanging on images or result as that’s just how it is right? Give your a9 a hug, looking forward to the next one! Cheers - @philipwindley
As I’m stuck in Missouri, it’s great to see my home in the PNW until I can move back this spring! I to feel like I need to get at least one great shot per outing and am frustrated when I don’t
First, it's a beautiful area! And I like the honesty in this vlog. Not everything is great all the time. 🙂 At the same time I must admit I was happy I watched this on a screen in a comfy, dry environment. 😬🌧🌧🌧
I've shot there. Very challenging, even without rain. Next time explore before you get to the actual Hall Of Mosses. There are a few intimate compositions that have potential.
Noel Coward noted that mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun. Apparently, they go out in the rain in the Olympic Park Rain Forest.. For those who want the replicate thjs experience, I believe this is shot on the visitors trail at the Hoh Rain Forest Visitors Center, a great photo experience in normal weather. We in the Pacific NW may live here, but we do not do have to go looking for rain.
Ever thought about one of those clear bag setups that goes over the body and lens with two holes on the sides for your hands to enter? Seems like would protect the body from the salt in the air and rain.
Wow! Two of my favorite RUclipsrs in one of my favorite areas. Nick, you are awfully hard on yourself. What’s that image at 6:00? I’d perhaps crop that to square in post, but it has awesome possibilities. The colors, the rim light on the moss - just spectacular!
Haha, just here for the guys bashing Sony's weathersealing. Also this is quite nostalgic as I shot this particular place back in 2009 for a couple of days. Good stuff you two as per usual.
How true about checking L bracket attachment, my lens fell off the other day and broke in two, because I'd forgotten to put the arca swiss adapter for my L bracket on my tripod and just put the L bracket directly in, as it seemed to work, an expensive lesson.
Its funny I'm watching this now because my tripod and camera and my Canon 100-400 all blew over in the storm Brendan winds today and it sunk into wet soft sand, sand everywhere. When I got to the part where you said sand in the buttons and checking it's all clear, I ran downstairs and checked mine all over again, had a lot of little nooks and crannies filled in with sand. It's funny when it was falling it was the slowest thing watching it and I standing like an idiot looking at it falling. Anyway all good and yours took a harder fall and hopefully good also. Lovely video and beautiful trees.
Been there. Done that!! Actually had salt water drops slide down the rear display panel cable on my xt2 when shooting at the beach. Malfunctioned immediately.
Sorry for the swings and misses, man. In terms of rain and snow, I keep a Lensocoat brand cover in my bag all the time. Its light and doesn't take up much space and has saved my butt on more than one occasion. Even in a steady downpour or wet sticky snow everything stays dry. Cheers.
Still cool to see that sometimes you guys struggle too! Just as an fyi, it might be helpful to give a bit more insight on how to clean the back element (not even sure that that is!), the sensor, and any the other components you mentioned. Probably not as exciting a video as a great photo excursion in the pacific northwest, but probably something that many could benefit from before its too late!
"The good thing about shooting in the rain is that things are more saturated"
Oh the irony in that statement :)
Wins some lose some... that’s the beauty of outdoor photography. “It’s the adventure that’s the fun part”
Well it wasn't a disaster, Thomas' dad joke made it all better XD
What a gorgeous place!
It is absolutely fine! Learning from mistakes and failures is also an important part of photography. Good, you have shared it.
Nice way to welcome Thomas to a real rain forest! That beauty doesn't happen with lots of sunny days. This adventure should be fun.
It truly is the adventure that is the fin part. Thank you for all your great and inspiring videos
I like the comment about difference between the myst and the fog :-)
Did Thomas steal that joke out of a landscape photography joke book or did he come with that on his own? Pretty funny. I'm going to use that one going forward.
Is that your caravan? Looks like something out of Breaking Bad!
Always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to more from your adventure. It can only get better!
They make a pretty nifty clamp that attaches to your tripod and holds an umbrella with the other clamp end which I like to keep in my bag for bad weather shooting...

It's -30C here in Calgary, enjoy your rain.
+4 By Monday!!
Thanks for sharing ,your still got some beautiful shots👍❤️😊🎥 in the rain
Great video in challenging conditions.
Awesome!! Two class act dudes.
Thanks for sharing Nick, I appreciate you sharing your "fails" as this is a reality for any photographer. I look forward to the next one :-)
Oh man... hope it gets better from here..looking forward to catching up on the antics
I first read the title of your video as "Falling in the Forest..." and wondered if you guys made a sound ;-)
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
So did I😂
If a photographer fails in the forest...
Came here to make that comment
Jon Glass I read the same thing 😳👍
""What's nice about when you have a little bit of rain on everything is everything is more saturated." Oh, the depth of insight in this channel. Even the simplest things become soaked with profundity. No wonder so many of us love it. (Seriously, great video.)
Great. Not every trip nails the killer shot - I much prefer the honesty shown here.
Nick, that’s the best advice you can give! Not every time will you get “that shot”. And it is about the adventure and memories! Hope the gear is ok!
Gosh - thanks - I thought only I had days like that!
We have a word in Scotland to describe that weather - 'Dreich' - wet, dull, dismal, dreary, gloomy, drizzly, cold, misty, miserable or any combination thereof. But it was still a good vlog.

I’m in England with the rain today and taking pictures. Beautiful work!
Love the raw part of this .
It's the only way to shoot surely 😊
Thank you for this!
and a week or so later, still drying out, lol. Murder Box looks so shiny and new!
Excellent Nick 👍🏻
Dude, I am convinced that you're actually Todd Hoffman from Gold Rush!
Oh man I live here in Forks, Wa wish we could have met up. Right now we have a foot of snow though. I used to work in this weather everyday when I was logging back in the day.
Phenomenal place. Very joyful video.
A really funny video!:) Thanks for sharing your experience!
My visit there was nice and rainy too. I went to the east side and got out of the rain.
It's the Adventure that sells... Love this Video
Failure is a good place to learn. Know how that feels. Got some videos myself where things didn't work out as expected. Thanks for being real!
Thanks for sharing. It's real. It also gives me encouragement to keep on trying when I've had a bad day. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Forest is good place. relax...
thx for video.
Enjoy your time, we enjoy you sharing the experience period. It’s hard enough getting out and creating content.
We don’t mind the videos with no photos! Keep them coming man!

I'm heading there this coming May...can't wait!!
Looked like a fun time. Yep NW weather gotta love it!
... and a lens hood would also help a lot. Looking forward to hear what you're all up to.
Nick, I enjoy all your videos. Love your adventures as well as the photography.
Nick, thanks for doing that. I've been finding myself out in the rain a lot lately, and it was helpful to see how you dealt with it (or not) and where the limits actually are. Well done. G

wonderful vlog wet but happy times
That umbrella was very useful 😁
Very True, but its fun to get out and try
Nick is always in such a good Glad to see another video man.
I’m surprised a weather sealed camera and lens couldn’t handle rain, especially for such a high end product.
I wouldn’t trust Sony cameras/lenses for weather sealing.
the Dad Jokes are strong with Mr. Heaton!
I think you are a perfect candidate for some Canon weather sealing haha. Wont be surprised to see a switch back when they release the new high res R this year.
this wasn't a weather sealing fail.. just a result of changing lenses in the rain
@@NickPage ah, didnt you say you were getting corrosion too? Not trying to pick apart gear, just was doing a little friendly brand teasing haha. Really love the channel btw, I've watched your stuff for years, noticed the quality really skyrocket!
Thanks for including us on your adventures. It took me a long time to be okay with not getting an image after putting in the effort to get outside.
A few months ago I suffered a similar accident when my A7RIII parted company with the tripod. Unfortunately the camera dropped onto a stony path and whilst the camera survived the 55mm f1.8 lens was not so lucky and was damaged beyond repair. Luckily I was insured and the lens was replaced. I always use a Peak Design wrist strap rather than a shoulder strap when walking around with the camera and I've now gotten into the habit of looping the wrist strap under the head of the tripod ball head when mounting the camera on the tripod, so far this has saved one potential disaster.
Enjoyed the video Nick!
Love your work, for tough weather go Nikon...
Fantastic video my guy!
Hope you guys made it to the beach to get those big waves ;)
I REALLY like your tree shot. Full of atmosphere, beautifully processed.
Nick you handled your camera challenges quite well. I had a similar experience with my old Canon. On day 2 of a 12 day trip my camera fell off the bullhead on to the rocks in Joshua Tree National Park. Broke my wide angle lens; which was actually a buddy’s.

I'm a big fan of putting a shower cap on my camera / lens in the rain or around salt water, waterfalls, etc. Works great even with big filters, etc.
Tom's got jokes... that's fantastic. 😂
Large cut-out ziplock bag - most issues solved. But also using an umbrella. This is what I do during monsoon season in India, for what it's worth.

Nice wee video Nick the weather looks similar to what we are getting in the UK so Tom isn’t missing much looking forward to the next instalment 👍

Great video Nick! Thanks for making them! (I thought you had a truck now)...
I do! I didn’t bring it on this trip because I didn’t want to abuse it by pulling the old trailer On this big long trip we are on
Dude, you are a brave man. Always cover your gear!!!
Great work Nick
Cup of tea, chocolate biscuits and a Nick Page video.I would have a beer, but for work.
That's Tuesday night sorted for a bit.
Great to see the struggle my videos have lots of that hahaha look forward to seeing the TH side
Ever thought about one of those clear bag setups that goes over the body and lens with two holes on the sides for your hands to enter? Seems like would protect the body from the salt in the air and rain.
Yeah I’ve had many of those in the past, but they are so clumsy and annoying to work with I usually don’t bother
The reality is showing us what "reality" really is!!
Wow! Two of my favorite RUclipsrs in one of my favorite areas. Nick, you are awfully hard on yourself. What’s that image at 6:00? I’d perhaps crop that to square in post, but it has awesome possibilities. The colors, the rim light on the moss - just spectacular!

Good Stuff
Seeing the trailer/caravan - The movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" comes to mind.
Somewhere in Hoquiam, there is a missing 1976 Terry Travel Trailer...
@5:12 I had the feeling that you're cleaning my eyes 🤣😂
Amazing forest, I pay the half of my age to spend a day here 😆
How true about checking L bracket attachment, my lens fell off the other day and broke in two, because I'd forgotten to put the arca swiss adapter for my L bracket on my tripod and just put the L bracket directly in, as it seemed to work, an expensive lesson.
I cannot believe you haven't put the caravan stabilisers down!

Another great video Nick. When are you going to meetup with the two other comedians?
