My apologies video is a little long and could have been shortened quite a bit. In a nutshell, my tips include
1: slowing down
2: get to know your subject
3: stop fussing over gear and processing
4: keep an open mind and keep your options open
5: concentrate on the light
6: look towards other artists for ideas and inspiration.
Might add this one: If you are unsure of what the light is doing and what settings to use, go to Live View with historgram visible, look at the screen and adjust the aperture, shutter speed or ISO and watch what happens. You can/will learn a lot by doing that! (but, make sure you DO get the shot first before the light changes!!!!)
Thanks Adam for sharing with us your experience. Appreciate it! I love your pictures btw.
#5 just made sense to me. I was out taking pics of some small waterfalls today using my CPL. No matter what I did, I couldn't get rid of all of the light reflection. Thought about it for a couple of hours and then went back to look at the pictures. Low and behold, I found a huge light source coming through the trees which line up perfectly with the reflections I couldn't filter out. It was sunny out, so there was light everywhere. Guess I need to wait for a cloudy day or golden hour or blue hour. Now I have a better idea of what I need to pay attention to. Thanks Adam for the tips!
I have had many thoughts of updating my camera but like you said, "what am I doing with the pictures?" @noitrotsid
Those were really nice tips, Thank you so much
Thanks, Adam. I needed this. Slow down. Watch the light. Look at the works of others. Commmmmpooooooose. Deep breath. Do it again.
Having overdosed on RUclips videos and confused myself, this was like that shaft of light in a forest illuminating a subject. Thanks Adam as it has helped me see the wood from the trees.
I usually hate this click bait, millennial type of BS RUclips video... but this is Adam Gibbs, and the man is a bloody legend. Loved the tips, they were well thought out and accompanied by stunning images. PS, You are due another wee episode on ‘light.’ Hated the sunnies at the start, but strangely missed them when you took them off 😜
Maybe the best photography "top tips" video on RUclips. So well described.
I've done it again. A dull cloudy day, started raining earlier so I'll stay in and watch RUclips photography videos, but as I look out the window there is gorgeous evening light catching some nice clouds and I should have been out there. Your tip no. 7 should be to stop watching videos and get out whatever the weather!
Rainy weather can give you some really cool photos. The light comes busting through some clouds and spot litghts something its so cool.
Your own photographs are the best vindication of your tips. Wonderful images.
I’m that sad guy that spends my working day on a computer yet, upon getting home, immediately open my editing software . . . . . . . every single day. It makes me happy 🙂
Not every day, but me too.
same..
Tony Neat same here..
Exactly same issue here... work IT and behind computers all day. Last thing I want to do at the end of a grueling day at the office is sit behind a computer. For some reason, if I start working a photo I can’t stop myself :) Ughhh
I love when you're by yourself🌹 you make everything so magical 🏕you take photography to a whole other level🌬🌱🐛🐢🌏 though I have truly enjoyed you hanging out with everyone else 🌬🕯🌊you guys are funny🕊😎🕊 your life has been incredible Adam and I'm so proud of you And the trails that you have walked &the mountains you have climbed hard to put into words but your photographs say everything of your life 🌾🌾🌾 happy trails you're the real deal
Yea, I agree. I really enjoy your videos. Your thoughtful comments on composition and shooting photographs. Excellent video!
Great tips Adam and the images throughout were an absolute feast for the eyes. Wonderful.
Not boring tips at all - took me years to learn to slow down, very fundamental but often overlooked. It also took me years to look in the opposite direction to what I was shooting - often getting the best shot of the day there.
I am new into landscape photography. And i watch a lot of videos related to landscape photography from a lot of talented photographers, to learn. But this has been one of the most useful and educational videos.
Steampunk Gibbsy, great sunglass Adam. What a joy to see so many magnificent images on one video, and all while listening to sound advice. You forgot larking around and having fun. Wishing you good light & safe travels.
Man am I glad I found your channel. One of the best I have seen on RUclips. Excellent work.
Even if this was a video of all these wonderful images on a slideshow.. it would've been amazing.. tips are the cherry on top...
Your work and videos are excellent. As an engineer I know why I like gear. Artistry comes harder. Your advice to take time and observe is spot on, of course. I like your channel a lot.
Amazing images, sir. Regarding the popular (among photography vloggers) slogan "gear doesn't matter", you already answered why gear actually can and does matter. Like you say, it gives you more options. Even if you don't plan to print your photos on a life-size scale, there are plenty of other reasons to choose a full-frame professional camera over an APS-C or other. Proper weather-sealing, a rugged body, lower ISO, higher dynamic range, etc., etc. These are all options that can give you just that bit extra when out in the field. Sure a good photographer can shoot great images on any camera, but he or she will shoot even better ones on a professional camera.
Just GREAT advices repeated and substantiated. Honest and experienced. So true. Thank you.
Great video Adam, awesome image examples! Man those quick forest motion controlled timelapses in the beginning were just incredible.
Thanks, Michael. I should really meet up with you and pick your brain about the timelapse thing.
Methinks that there are some wise words in that 25 minutes. Who doesn't suffer from GAS on occasion? I defy anyone to say they have not done so even though they know it will not make them a better photographer. One of the better videos I have seen lately.
I thought this was excellent video, so thanks for posting. Lot of your tips are ones many of us already know, but don’t use when were out taking images. We get so caught up sometimes in the moment that we forget to concentrate on what makes dynamic images. Like your tip on really studying the light is something I don’t do nearly enough and will start working on in the future. I also like your tip about gear, so many get caught up thinking they have to have best gear to make great photo’s when nothing is future from the truth. Great images are created by the person behind the camera, not the camera itself. I recently switched to the Nikon Z system and couldn’t be happier, with just the kit 24-70mm f/4 S and 14-30mm f/4 S and my F mount 70-200mm f/4 lens I got everything covered that I need in focal length in a package now that weighs about half what it did with my D850 and F mounts lenses. Love your videos, watch all of them I can, keep them coming Adam.
Great tips. Thanks for posting them. I'm going to watch this video again, and this time I'll take notes. I have the problem of watching videos for information or instruction, then when I go out to put that information into practice I forget half or more of what I saw. So I think taking notes will help me a great deal. Thanks again for posting.
Awesome talk! Every time I watch you I always find another tool for my growth in photography
Great to hear!
Helpful tips all! Especially liked your comments on camera gear acquisition syndrome. I have noticed time and again that folks who are disappointed with their images tend to blame it on their equipment. When they ask me for assistance with their camera gear I find that they literally have no idea what the camera is doing on its own, what it is telling them about the photo they are composing, or how to relate to and act upon that information. A year or so ago a young lady came to me after purchasing a Cannon 7D Mark II. Having used the camera for several months she was terribly disappointed with her results. She was, in fact, convinced that there was "something wrong" with the camera and was considering bringing it back for a refund. Unfamiliar with the camera I suggested she leave it with me for a week or two so I could check it out. Long story short there was nothing whatever wrong with the camera. In fact I loved using it and managed to create some pretty stunning images with it. So what was the problem? Never having taken the time to read the manual and with no idea whatsoever as to what various setting meant she had managed to select a total mishmash of settings that virtually guaranteed her images would be rubbish. Learning to use your camera, becoming familiar with its myriad options, and setting it up to best accommodate your style and image goals is far more likely to result in good images than rushing out to buy the latest gear.
This is the best presentation of advise I have seen anyone do for landscape photographers.
Thanks, Glen!
Nice thoughts Adam. Especially "slow down"
Neutral density sunglasses! Who knew that is secret to visualization? 😉 Love your work, my friend. Cheers,
Some of the best tips I have heard from any landscape photographer! Thanks Adam.
Thanks for the tips, while watching this, all I could think about is how nice it would be to have a video with just your pictures and music. Now I have to watch this again and listen to what you actually said. Great work and thank you
That aspen shot might be the best I’ve ever seen Adam! Time is definitely my major constraint.
ASA in those days. The name was changed to ISO more recently. Politics. * I still use a D800, and I do make large prints with no problems. (OK, I am a great fan of Photoshop and Topaz Labs). My go to lens is the 24-120. I also have the 14-24. That said, I'll get a D850 when I get the $. A couple of deal breakers keep me from wanting a Z9.
Thank you so much Adam for your Insightful tips and for promoting nature connectivity through photography
Nice points Adam, Thanks for helping us amateurs that work for a living out...
That advice was really good advice Adam. Especially going out to buy the top of the Range equipment if you are only posting to Instagram etc. I went to a camera club and one guy gave us a similar view about buying the latest equipment to get that shot. However another guy said that one of my photos should have been taken from a different location! His face was a picture when I said it was not possible as I happened to be in the cockpit of my aircraft flying over Iceland!! Everybody else thought it was a great series of photos!!
Love this video. Best Regards Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧📸
Great tips and lovely photos. Slowing down and analyzing the light make amazing differences.
I love all your work but I think this is ~Adam Gibbs at his finest. Thanks brother
I use a D800, and my go to lens is the 24 to 120. I have 24x30 prints that look great.
Tip 3 - spot on ! Glad you said this
Thank you very much for all the advice. I will remember it all the next time I shoot. I quite enjoy watching you and Gavin and all the goofiness.
What a treat this video was! My eyes have gorged themselves on eye candy! Wow you have some gorgeous images!
Thanks Adam great tips,love your work,loving exploding photography and this beautiful plant,slowing it down and looking at light....yeh simple 🙏🏼🌈
1. Great tip. I generally don't have this restless personality, but I do get excited when I see something really beautiful. Especially when I know that the light is not going to last long. It's harder to make choices in such moments.
2. Yes... When the leaves are turning yellow in an area... When there's the right amount of water in a stream... Where to go on a foggy day... Just yes.
3. Gear... I don't know. I wouldn't have the motivation to go adventuring to get a photo if all I had was some crappy camera. So gear is just gear, but it has its function. I'd try not to overestimate it but also not underestimate. Now getting the right gear for your own needs is definitely a 'yes', but then... you generally don't know your needs until after you use some gear for some time, so...
4. Agree. Adjusting to situation is often hard, though. At least for me.
5. Yup. Light. It's wonderful what it can do to even ordinary subjects. I feel there's lots to learn there for me.
6. I don't have that library, but others do and I can watch their channel ;)
Thanks a lot.
Wowzer. A terrific portfolio of photos. You should be pleased in the retrospective arrangement.
First time visited your channel. Really inspired to get more with my little Lumix GX9 rather than thinking to get an expensive full frame gear.
Excellent tips Adam. I came across to your channel after seeing you many times on Gavin's vids - and I am so glad I did. I love your presentation style and the images you show throughout this video are simply stunning. I look forward to checking out many more of your videos.
Living in rural Oxfordshire my love of mountain views and waterfalls is not well catered for. As an amateur time is one consideration, but I would also like to add expense and the ability to travel. I do get to travel once in a while and your tips will be a great thing to keep in mind when I do. Thank you.
I like the red tape. Great tips! Thanks for all the reminders.
Gosh - bloody nice dare i say inspiring images you showed during this video!
Adam this video was "my inspiration". Well done my friend.
I love the kit lens that came with my 7Dii. Image stablistion and stuff its great.
Thank you for putting this out it really helped. I have not been shooting that long and the way that you put these tips out was different than all the other videos that I have watched.
Great reminders, and beautiful photos to back them up!
Really cool seeing so many of your pieces in one video, great work.
Thanks for this helpful video and particularly for including many of your stunning images which, for me, contribute massively to tip number 6, “inspiration”. Love your videos.
Thank you for these useful tips sir
Also these photographs of the light shining thru the clouds on the water from Feroe Island are awesome.
Have a nice day
Philippe from Belgium
I love your videos and honestly I don't watch that much on YT. I would rather do my own stuff. I totally get your slow down thing. Having said that I always give this guitar analogy. When the guitar is in tune...it's in tune...no amount of puttering will change that. Sure, that is probably more for experienced photographers and rather obviously I am a run and gun chasing the light type of guy and possibly just a tad heretical. I personally have seen so many photographers line up for one shot that didn't come. They got nothing whereas I have a portfolio, C.
Tip number 1. “Slow down”. Amen to that. Probably the one that I’m most guilty of violating. Countless bad shots because I hadn’t taken the extra time to get everything dialed in before busting off a shot or two only to find something like exposure comp or ISO was off because of a previous shoot.
Great to see the montage of your work roll by during the video. Brilliant stuff Adam. Cheers!
Thank you once again Adam. Well done!
I've recently rediscovered the thrill of photography. Your posts are a spot on source of support and renewed vigor.
Best,
Anthony
Norwalk, CT
Love that grumpy beanie. Nice video Adam. Sound advice.
All i can say is Thank You! Thank You Very Much!
Use a film loupe when you preview a shot on your digital camera LCD. This will slow you down and allow you to analyze fine details in the shot.
Adam those sunglasses make you look nearly as cool as Gavin 🙂🙂
Very helpful tips and wonderful, inspiring images. One thought: slowing down and adding "finesse'' to an image is a great idea. Hope you will consider walking viewers through your process. Showing an initial image, and then how you shape and hone it into a much better image, what that looks like, step by step. Cheers.
I like your casual common sense. We could all slow down and apply your tips.
Amazing! I really like the unique quality of your work. The aesthetic you've been able to make your own where the photo can be both sharp and soft at the same time is captivating! The restrained colours and mastery of capturing the qualities of the light available... man I'm jealous. The images speak for themselves: true mastery
Thanks for the tips! Lovely images throughout. I do post my photos to social media, but I also occasionally submit them to photo contests. I have printed some of them for people. My mom rents a table in a craft store for her crochet and she posts my photos for sale there as well. I've even printed a couple of calendars (for myself). I do things! :)
Thanks for the 6, 8 or was it 12 tips Adam? Anyway I agree with a lot of your advice. One of the most important things for anyone at any level to remember is that photography is the record of radiant energy (Light) and not of the subject. Of course shapes, patterns, lines, colour and all that other compositional "Stuff" interacting and being illuminated by the light are important, but only as they act in support of the light and the photographer's vision.
Of course light and composition can be manipulated and enhanced in post processing. It just needs to be done in a way that supports and enhances the underlying foundation. I try to stay away from the Velvet Elvis' images I see posted on social media. They tend to get more followers but will they stand the test of time?
Thanks again and keep them coming!
Adam, you are always an inspiration.
Wow. You have really outdone yourself. This video has been amazing. Thank you so much for having included so many of your own photographs for content and inspiration. I'm so proud of you for staying so humble. It really comes through on camera too.
Excellent tips, quality of light and slowing down both give great results. Also, it is good to see the Toho making an appearance.
Yep had to dust off the cobwebs, lol.
Your advice on go with the natural light is really helpful. I am also trying to slow down, and most of the time I can get better images than rushing myself
Just watched your video, and all of your tips were so helpful, watching your photographs was just breathtaking beautiful...thank you for doing this!
Incredibly beautiful images. Thank you also for the fantastic tips. Brilliant!!!
One of the best tip videos I have watched and your images throughout are breathtaking 👍
Thanks for a great video and useful tips. The tip that I need to work on is slowing down. I'm spending more and more time on analysing the light. Thanks to you after all the videos I have seen on your channel. Lots of nice pictures in this video.
Great advice! Most modern lenses are much better than those from 50 years ago... and kit lenses (if you expose correctly) are usually more than good enough for online viewing. It’s your EYE not your KIT that makes you stand out.
Always enjoy your photos!
Good vid, and I love my 24 - 120 mm, watching you shoot with it has convinced me to dust it off!
Adam you are an inspiration and I thank you sir.
Your pictures are truly inspirational. I have to go back and watch all your videos. Looking forward to learning a lot from you.
I just listened to Nicks podcast where you guys went to Abraham Lake. I was really curious about the shot of the aspen tree and boom, you show it here. My heart actually started beating faster when I saw it. Amazing shot!
Thank you for sharing your insights - they are so much more than mere 'tips'. For me, the most valuable reminders were to slow down, stop fussing about gear, look at the light, think about what I want to do with my images. I love the photographs you chose to accompany your thoughts. I find them all so very inspiring. I'm really looking forward to receiving your book and special edition print. Thank you again!
A very useful video for aspiring photographers. Helpful advice from a photographer with extensive experience. Fully agrees with all the advice. Thank you and good luck in photography.
Your tips are a inspirational for self-reflection and overthinking how to experience photography.
Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant images to go with some really great advice. Thanks for sharing your time again Adam.
Hi Adam a really great video full of really useful tips and ideas and so easily explained, really enjoyed it , many thanks Ian
Its been awhile and I took a fresh look at this one. A couple were reminders, but I couple I need to work on. Still not hitting the sweet spot yet.
You guys are right, I’m a amature photographer in Gloucestershire, UK and I love the light hearted comedy from Gavin and how infectious he is when the 4 of you are out on a jolly. Keep doing what you are doing x
That little tree on the rock in the water...... WOW. Good tips Adam. I so agree with you about gear.
Thank you for the tips and sharing so many images. I hope to be able to apply your ideas to my own work when traversing mountains and beaches nearby my home here in Japan.
Absolutely majestic images!!!
Thanks Adam for this incredible video. I have been watching yours, Nick's and Gavin's videos for a while now and they are all very nice :) But I think that this video right here must be one of the best if not the best video.
Greate work . Very inspiring to watch. :)
Can you expand on the exploring part? How do you pick what to explore? That is, do you go to an area that has a popular feature and work out from there, or do you pick random locations with no research and work them until you find something? And if so, how often do you come up empty and move on to the next spot?
Usually, any small or large natural area that offers some of the things that I like to photograph, trees, streams, waterfalls or patterns. It really depends on where you live and what inspires you to make images. Obviously living in a city might be more challenging for the landscape photographer so I would try to find a park of some sort.
I had to watch the video twice because the images were so brilliant. What a gift you have!
Excellent video Adam! Many thanks for sharing your tips. Love the images you shared in this video. Great collection. Cheers.
Great videos Adam, much appreciated tips. Enjoyed your series on light as well.
Thanks for this inspiring tutorial.
Thank you, Adam.
I didn't think that I can really enjoy 7 top tips video. I can honestly say that I just don't like them and usually don't even bother to click on one, I'm so glad I click on yours.
My 4x5 arrived three weeks ago.
Great intro again Adam, feels like if you like Ansel Adams...I prefer paper books too. Thanks a lot for your tips and thoughts.
Thanks for the great advice and sharing. You have inspired me and I'm sure it will improve my photpgraphy. This sharing is as valuable as your photos.🙏♥️
Thanks for these tips Adam, I really appreciate your approach to photography and definitely find inspiration in your work.
Great to hear!
