I personally loved the photo of the standing rocks and the amount of vibrancy in the colors and the balance of light is perfection. Beautiful.
Whereas I enjoy the collaborative videos you do with Gavin and co, your posts are, for me, the quintessence of photography vlogs.... pure and simple.
Thank you.... keep ‘em coming.
The first photograph is perfect as it is! Vibrant colors are perfect in that scene
I have long been a subscriber, as well as a big fan of yours. But this video just blew me away. What has impressed me so much here are the following -
1. Showing your original RAW file in addition to the finished product adds so much for viewers. NEVER stop showing your RAW's, and hopefully other You Tubers will begin doing so. It is extremely helpful. Just showing the "end" product is not nearly as fulfilling as when you show what you began with. Bravo!!
2. Your narrative (B-roll) description as to what, how, and why you did what you did with each image is amazingly helpful and informative. Thank you.
Thanks, Michael!
Adam, you are the grandmaster of light! ...absolutely awesome pictures! 👍😆
Those Staffa columns... just wowza.
I love both images - the standing stones and the Fingle's cave images. Fabulous! I would not change any of the editing.
It's not so much the "hellooo, helooo" I like. It's the little half-hearted air punch that goes with it. That's peak Adam Gibbs right there. Never change!
I loved all of the images from this video. Using the LR tools we are lucky enough to have allows for a truly personalized vision of what we see. I love seeing how you use those tools. I play with that light all of the time as well. One of the things I enjoy about you and Gavin being together is that I think you both push each other out of your own personal comfort zones. You both take each other to places and subjects that you might not have chosen on your own. This helps develop new talents and interests. Don't get me started on the four of you being together and what that brings to the mix (unadulterated shenanigans).
Fantastic shot of the cave entrance, which is greatly enhanced by the processing. Love the textures and muted colors. Impressed that you managed to get these in such a short time at an unfamiliar location.
I just love these photos.... all of them in fact.
Superb video Adam. Your standing stone picture 3:48 is beautiful and i think you got the grass colour just right, as it would be in warm evening sunset light. Loved the Staffa Basalt pictures too. What a life you guys are living just now. You must keep pinching yourselves. 👌
Congratulation Adam ... You're the winner of International Photographer of the year ,
I'm not surprised just like I've ever commented that you're the best ...
Love, love!! The vibrant colors are beautiful.
Such beautiful photos! My initial thought on the Standing Rocks photo was to maybe brighten the sky a tad bit in the darkest areas, that ought to remove the worst HDR'ish effect. However, I really like it and the basalt photos were just amazing! I actually think my preferred one is the one at 12:28 :)
Cheers, Mads!
I feel you have a great balance on the 3 standing stones image. The foreground colors are vibrant but soft. It makes me want to lay out in the grass and stare up at the stars.
What's up Adam? I think that 3 shot stack came out just fine. Like I always say, "You can't let perfection stand in the way of good enough." You made the shot work.
Those standing stone formations are so unique.
I love the greens! Scotland, Ireland and Norway define the word “green!”
That's until you get to the Faroes during summer ;)
Thats for sure
I loved that photo of rocks. You have achieved quite the golden mean when processing it. It does not at all have that dreadful HDR look, and I quite like the warm colours - they provide the feeling of that sunset. I think the image at 9:35 is one of your best from this year - just love the texture and layers in it. That sure is a location where you can go crazy with photography. Thank you for walking us through the images as always.
Great video Adam, I love the warm green vibrant colors around the standing rocks. Also, thanks for teaching all of us about using a 10 stop ND to make the etherial look around the rocks. Makes a much more pleasing image to enjoy.
Fascinating commentary on your process. Also, I am amazed at the number of stunning shots you were able to capture in one hour.
Those basalt photos are fantastic. Typical Adam Gibbs :-)
Cheers, Michael!
Yes Adam, I like this kind of work. Very beautiful. They are typical your photos.
The colours are just perfect, Adam.
I just find all your videos totally inspiring and I cannot thank you enough for how generously you share your knowledge. With thank from Australia
Now I've seen all the video. Stunning images for a one hour shoot. The image when u straighted out the horizon, feels more like a black n white for me. 😁
I realize you excel at this art when images aren't there for the taking. An average photographer would not find the abstract compositions I see you repeatedly find in less than obvious, challenging surroundings. The editing is also an outstanding trait of yours. Just tremendous video, images and lesson in editing. Thanks AG!
I like the vibrant colors, looks really nice the way you edited it.
Beautiful and inspirational!
Wow! The composition and post capture treatment of the standing stones was amazing! I expect that, for the ancients who placed the stones, this was a mystical place, a feeling you captured perfectly IMHO. Your Staffa compositions and work in post simply brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
Great job as always!
I too have missed a few nice sunsets due to a lively conversation over a glass, or two, of beer. I justify it by telling myself that I am learning to take the good with the bad. On a different note, I like the vibrancy of the standing stone image. My brain knows that the scene would not actually appear that way, but ,with camera in hand I like to make a scene look the way I'd like it to look. Photography allows each of us to interpret what is in front of our eyes into a vision of how we would like it to appear. I also enjoy the heavy vignette on the basalt image. It works well on that particular image. To each his own... Nice work, Adam.
Beautiful captures, Adam! I hope you back to Staffa again, I can only imagine what you could create if given more time there. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Beautiful abstracts you got with the columns. Cheers to you. :)
Thanks for the wide angle tip. Love the standing stone editing.
Master of abstracts. 😊
The drone footage was mint! :-) brilliant video Adam
When you said , "now the sheep are really getting attacked..." I was so afraid your were going to conclude with, "...by Gavin..." Thank goodness our woolly friends were spared his rogering ways!
Re: the Standing Stones (Stonehenge writ small) Your final blended image has no suck. Very, very nice and most skillfully executed. The vibrant coloring is the better choice.
Looks like you wrung-out what Staffa had to give. I think you found the only color on the whole rock. Great reminder on the old-school knowledge re: keeping the film plane plumb! The chiaroscuro feel of the cave with the subtle warming is spelunkingly fine.
Thank-You,
Mike
If that image of the standing stones is not a prize winning shot, then I simply don’t know what is...... absolutely stunning..... Top work!! 😍😍😍
I like the colors...vibrant but still realistic for springtime in a marine climate with lots of rainfall.
It doesn't matter what I or anybody else think about your greens and yellows! It's what you like! That's most importand! If you like the result chanses are most of your followers will like it, too. Cheers!
You make me dream Mr. Gibbs. Thank you!!!
Stunning, stunning, stunning❤️
Nothing to add to all these wonderful accolade's Adam , what a gentleman , and what a photographer
Love that final shot - great vision. 👍
wow those shots came out epic
Those rock formations are so beautiful that they looks almost fake . Pretty nice shots ! 👍
Beautiful shot Adam. Don't change a thing!
Watching your video. I’m reminded that we used Mull only as a way point to Iona. Now I really want to go back and explore Mull and Staffa. Pretty cool stuff.
Gorgeous images of those basalt columns.
Why would you put dislike? Just close the video and be gone!
Did you hate something, did they offend you?
Unbelievable!
Great video Grumpy!
Yeah, I don't get the thumbs up and down thing either, why even bother with it. And you're right if you don't like a video just move on to something else. What really gets me is when people have a need to be offensive, that is really odd behaviour. Cheers!
Wow, I wasn't expecting those from you Adam, the basalt photos! Truly gorgeous!!! I bet it must be a breath of fresh air to be out somewhere new and different from the usual of Vancouver Island! And see, most people go after the vistas of the islands and mountains, it's amazing you can zero in on the little hidden gems! Can't wait to see more!!!
Now the talk over in this was better for me sir. I want to visit Steffa I did Mull but never got over seeing your images makes me want to go more now
Absolutely love that last image in the series. Makes me think of a dragon’s lair or dungeon. Fantastic work.
Absolutely love the photo at 12:55. well done.
WOW!!! Very beautiful pictures.
Adam - these are some of my favourite images from your videos over the past few months. Love the basalt columns and the abstract nature of these photos. Totally my kind of photography! 👍🏻😁
Awesome last shot and the first one among the rock column pictures
The 2nd photo is amazing
So the "Standing Stones of Glenmore" are stones that are in Glenmore and they are...standing !! Great stuff as usual Adam..love those Fingal's Cave images..been to Mull twice (for the wildlife mainly) but never got to Staffa though the BBC a few years ago filmed a female violinist playing Mendelsson's music from inside the cave..amazing mood to the place
Off to Mull and Staffa in 10 days time, this is all great inspiration 📷👍
Hi Adam, all the images were wonderful. I especially like the Thrift and those stones that were standing, whatever they were. I am finding that I have to desaturate my yellows and greens a lot and I can't get it to look realistic, but yours looks spot on, outstanding. Thank you for sharing.
Extraordinary place this Isle of Staffa. Right up your alley with those unusual textures and formations. All volcanic I suppose? You must be kicking yourself not being able to spend more time there. Hope you get back there at some point , I want to see more.
I've been to the island and it really is fantastic but as you say, not enough time. My favourite image is the face on view of the basalt rocks and the green, yellow at the bottom. Great work in such a short time Adam.
Love the shots of the Basalt cliffs and columns, especially the shot of the entrance to Fingals Cave, a great demonstration of how considered manipulation or processing can really bring the best out of an image. Fantastic stuff Adam 👍👍
Great shots, Adam!!! Fantastic!
I always prefer nice bright colours in a photo, that beautiful glow and colour from golden hour light should not be dimmed. Stunning captures and aerial footage from this shoot, really enjoyed this video.
Congratulations on International Photographer of the Year :-)
One of my favorites 😊
Beautiful, here in Northern Ireland we have the same columns at the Giants causeway and you have given me inspiration to visit them and photograph them also, thank you Adam
I love those texture's Adam. For only having 60 minutes, it was brave to pull out those ND filters, bravo!
Loved the use of the 10 stop ND, plus I think you nailed the green tones on the field. Thank you!
Really enjoyed that series of basalt shots. The Standing Stones shot is wonderful as well. The green to me seems borderline. But I just edited a shot from the North Cascades where I wrestled the same issue and desaturated the grass. Lastly I believe I heard one of Gavin's old girlfriends calling out to him several times during your vlog. The call from a lost love was a nice final touch to this episode.
Great award winning like shots Adam! Nice to see some drone footage as well. I really like the quality coming out of the Hassy camera! I was just out with my 10 stop ND filter yesterday. Such a simple way to create magic. Thx for sharing your trip to Scotland :)
I like the vibrancy Adam,
Love the picture of the stones, got it about right ... thanks
nice work on Staffa. Shows how practice makes for great images when conditions and the subjects are favorable and you have little time to react to light or the tour boat.
Just Beautiful Shots!!
Well done on getting some cracking shots despite the tourists!
Fantastic images, Adam! Love every single one of 'em!!! I hate this saying - but keep them coming. It's an absolute pleasure to view your stories.
To me it is a great shot,thats exactly the same way i had processed this pic.Congrats Adam!
The image of the cave entrance is awesome.
I like the vibrant colours on the standing stones,and I love how you edited the cave opening
Beautiful work as always!
I love the images of the textures of the rocks -vs- the water. And the graduated colors that also compliment the textures. Thank you.
Really like the colors you ended up with on the standing stones pic.
I love the Standing Rocks image as is. The colors lend a sense of mysticism that is appropriate to the site. Splendid!
I just realized uncle grumpy is only grumpy when he’s with Gavin lol most of the time, he’s quite jolly. Even more so when the light is on point. Lol
My alter ego. Actually it's his lordship that's the grumpy one, lol.
The stones image is awesome leave alone Adam.
Stunning!
Love the image just the way it is! Great shot Adam!👍
I realy like your videos....the pictures looks great👍👍
Excellent video, i really like your videography/story telling as much as the photos. I visited scotland once in the summer and the midge swarms were horrific, i dont think i would ever go back in the summer months again
Really enjoy your video's. Your photograph of the standing stones is stunning. Thanks Adam
Funny, with the last image you no longer think "cave" but rocks. Love your take on Staffa and the standing stones are beautifully exposed - i love the vibrancy of the colours, something different from the usual "this is ancient history"-gloom one sees so often. Well done!
Hello hello! Brilliant Adam, love the shot, I don’t think it’s over vibrant on my 42 inch TV! Loved this episode. Thanks Adam! Hope your keeping well and keeping away from those humans 😂👍
Haha hard to avoid humans
Absolutely stunning images from 1 hr on that island just brilliant you make it look so easy thank you for sharing
You're pretty good at this photography, you might win an award one day! BTW don't forget Iona the next time you're there, stunning island.
