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 😜
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.
Thanks, Adam. I needed this. Slow down. Watch the light. Look at the works of others. Commmmmpooooooose. Deep breath. Do it again.
Maybe the best photography "top tips" video on RUclips. So well described.
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
Your own photographs are the best vindication of your tips. Wonderful images.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
Neutral density sunglasses! Who knew that is secret to visualization? 😉 Love your work, my friend. Cheers,
Just GREAT advices repeated and substantiated. Honest and experienced. So true. Thank you.
Man am I glad I found your channel. One of the best I have seen on RUclips. Excellent work.
What a treat this video was! My eyes have gorged themselves on eye candy! Wow you have some gorgeous images!
This is the best presentation of advise I have seen anyone do for landscape photographers.
Thanks, Glen!
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.
Awesome talk! Every time I watch you I always find another tool for my growth in photography
Great to hear!
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.
Tip 3 - spot on ! Glad you said this
That little tree on the rock in the water...... WOW. Good tips Adam. I so agree with you about gear.
I had to watch the video twice because the images were so brilliant. What a gift you have!
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!
I love all your work but I think this is ~Adam Gibbs at his finest. Thanks brother
Some of the best tips I have heard from any landscape photographer! Thanks Adam.
Wowzer. A terrific portfolio of photos. You should be pleased in the retrospective arrangement.
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.
Nice thoughts Adam. Especially "slow down"
Adam this video was "my inspiration". Well done my friend.
Thanks Adam great tips,love your work,loving exploding photography and this beautiful plant,slowing it down and looking at light....yeh simple 🙏🏼🌈
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
Nice points Adam, Thanks for helping us amateurs that work for a living out...
Great tips and lovely photos. Slowing down and analyzing the light make amazing differences.
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.
Thank you so much Adam for your Insightful tips and for promoting nature connectivity through photography
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🇬🇧🇬🇧📸
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.
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.
One of the best tip videos I have watched and your images throughout are breathtaking 👍
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.
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
Adam those sunglasses make you look nearly as cool as Gavin 🙂🙂
I know from my own experience that slowing down is a key - unless you want to shoot action. A good video of somebody who's been there, done and still does that, and bought the woolly hat. Thanks!
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 tips Adam and the images throughout were an absolute feast for the eyes. Wonderful.
Hi Adam a really great video full of really useful tips and ideas and so easily explained, really enjoyed it , many thanks Ian
Adam, you are always an inspiration.
I don't normally like top tip videos but felt like you hit the nail on the head, definitely food for thought, thankyou.
I had to watch this video twice...could not hear anything due to the visual feast going on in this video. Wow!!! Man you are too good. Loved every second.. Thanks for sharing.
Such sound advice and it has only taken me 10 years to realise its truth! For those who have the time, as one's skill/experience grows, I can also recommend revisiting old stored, self-moderated, shoots and often finding gems that are worth developing.
This must be one of the best photography videos on YT. Thank you!
Love that grumpy beanie. Nice video Adam. Sound advice.
I never get fed up watching you videos Adam and really like all you photos, makes want to get out there and get that special photo 👍🏽
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

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!
Really cool seeing so many of your pieces in one video, great work.
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!
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.
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.
I love the kit lens that came with my 7Dii. Image stablistion and stuff its great.
Adam, you are the best landscape youtuber! Best B-rolls ever
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.
Just watched your video, and all of your tips were so helpful, watching your photographs was just breathtaking beautiful...thank you for doing this!
Very good tips! The first one is the hardest for me. Thanks for sharing :-) Amazing images 👌
Adam you are an inspiration and I thank you sir.
I am late to the party, as I just came across one of your more recent videos today. After subscribing I went to see what other videos you have posted and decided to watch this one. I am so glad that I did! I like how you insert your images as you speak, as they are inspiring enough! Very beautiful work you do, and I will be watching many more of your videos and watching for new ones that you share. Thank you!
Wants and needs. Completely agree.
Fantastic video, honesty, sincere, accurate and generous ! Adam, you are an excellent communicator and I just say : Thank you for that . Of course, your photos are alway so beautiful !
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
Your pictures are truly inspirational. I have to go back and watch all your videos. Looking forward to learning a lot from you.
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.
Incredibly beautiful images. Thank you also for the fantastic tips. Brilliant!!!
Great intro again Adam, feels like if you like Ansel Adams...I prefer paper books too. Thanks a lot for your tips and thoughts.
Great set of tips.
What I noticed at some point, when just getting a bit more serious with my photography, was that I was taking much better photographs when getting my tripod out.
Precisely because it slowed me down and made me think more about the composition.
So for anyone who wants to slow down in the age of digital, my tip would be to use the tripod. 😃
Of course, I also started to notice that sometimes when I put up my tripod I then don't explore other compositions enough anymore... So don't forget to move around when using the tripod. 😁
Brilliant images to go with some really great advice. Thanks for sharing your time again Adam.
With so many photographers having RUclips channels, yours hit the spot. Relatively new to what I call “conscious photography”. Enjoyed immensely. Focus on the skills of photography. Practical and common sense advise. Thank you.
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.🙏♥️
I have been binge watching you and Gavin. Great tips. Thank you so much! It is really great to listen to professional photographers. I don't think I will ever get close to the level of professional in my photography and drone work. Still every story that I watch on you tube helps me see the world in a different light. Thank you again. Be well.
Glad to hear it!
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.
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.
Absolutely majestic images!!!
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!
Excellent video Adam! Many thanks for sharing your tips. Love the images you shared in this video. Great collection. Cheers.
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.
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.
That aspen shot might be the best I’ve ever seen Adam! Time is definitely my major constraint.
I use a D800, and my go to lens is the 24 to 120. I have 24x30 prints that look great.
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.
Excellent presentation by showing wonderful images while you describe the tips/techniques. Thanks.
Great video Adam! Love your work and outlook....🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
Great videos Adam, much appreciated tips. Enjoyed your series on light as well.
You have some seriously beautiful photographs!
I got into 4x5 a year and a half ago. It has transformed my landscape photography. If you develop your own film its somewhat affordable since you only shoot a few shots per trip .
