"The good thing about shooting in the rain is that things are more saturated" Oh the irony in that statement :)

Well it wasn't a disaster, Thomas' dad joke made it all better XD What a gorgeous place!

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 :-)

Nick, I enjoy all your videos. Love your adventures as well as the photography.

Always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to more from your adventure. It can only get better!

It truly is the adventure that is the fin part. Thank you for all your great and inspiring videos

It is absolutely fine! Learning from mistakes and failures is also an important part of photography. Good, you have shared it.

Wins some lose some... that’s the beauty of outdoor photography. “It’s the adventure that’s the fun part”

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.

Nick is always in such a good Glad to see another video man.

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.

Love seeing you guys on the adventure, even when the shots don't work out. I hope you had better luck on the rest of your trip!

Thanks for sharing ,your still got some beautiful shots👍❤️😊🎥 in the rain

Awesome!! Two class act dudes.

I'm heading there this coming May...can't wait!!

Phenomenal place. Very joyful video.

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

A really funny video!:) Thanks for sharing your experience!

It's the Adventure that sells... Love this Video

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.

Enjoyed the video Nick!

Great meeting you nick keep up the great work

I’m in England with the rain today and taking pictures. Beautiful work!

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 👍

Oh man... hope it gets better from here..looking forward to catching up on the antics

Forest is good place. relax... thx for video.

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

Great video in challenging conditions.

Enjoy your time, we enjoy you sharing the experience period. It’s hard enough getting out and creating content.

Fantastic video my guy!

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!

Looked like a fun time. Yep NW weather gotta love it!

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.)

Excellent Nick 👍🏻

Great video as always! I'm damp and cold just watching. And just noticed the the thumbnail at first glance makes me think you look like Captain Barbossa LOL

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!

I like the comment about difference between the myst and the fog :-)

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

It's -30C here in Calgary, enjoy your rain.

Thank you for this!

I REALLY like your tree shot. Full of atmosphere, beautifully processed.

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!!

Gosh - thanks - I thought only I had days like that!

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.

We don’t mind the videos with no photos! Keep them coming man!

I first read the title of your video as "Falling in the Forest..." and wondered if you guys made a sound ;-)

Great work Nick

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.

@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 😆

the Dad Jokes are strong with Mr. Heaton!

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

Great. Not every trip nails the killer shot - I much prefer the honesty shown here.

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. 😬🌧🌧🌧

Is that your caravan? Looks like something out of Breaking Bad!

Ha, I liked that Fog vs. Mist joke. :) I'm glad that your equipment survived this vlog!

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.

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.

and a week or so later, still drying out, lol. Murder Box looks so shiny and new!

Dude, I am convinced that you're actually Todd Hoffman from Gold Rush!

Love the raw part of this .

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

Dude, you are a brave man. Always cover your gear!!!

wonderful vlog wet but happy times

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!!

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.

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.

lol man I feel ya. The days when everything just compounds and seems to go wrong. I experienced that several days in New Zealand. Lol. The insane weather didn’t help.

The look you give at 10:56 xD Priceless, and a look I quite often have on my own face=P

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...

... and a lens hood would also help a lot. Looking forward to hear what you're all up to.

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 vid Nick! I feel soggy now haha.

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.

That umbrella was very useful 😁

I'm glad a pro said you dont need a shot every time cause I always feel like a complete failure if I dont get something. I too am guilty of not cleaning my gear enough...ad a matter of fact I should probably make that happen soon..lol. Enjoyed the video so sorry you didnt have much luck..but at least your camera still works! That's a plus.

Love your work, for tough weather go Nikon...

Great Video Guys love this, I think Nick you should go back to Canon! lol

You started off in my favorite place in the world.

Great video Nick! Thanks for making them! (I thought you had a truck now)...

Seeing the trailer/caravan - The movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" comes to mind.

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

My visit there was nice and rainy too. I went to the east side and got out of the rain.

Oh well, I'm sure you got some great shots at Cape D!

Love the vid Nick. Just curious as to what head that is with the quick release trigger you had? Is that arca Swiss?

Good Stuff

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.

Very True, but its fun to get out and try

Wow! Two of my favorite KZfaqrs 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!

Tom's got jokes... that's fantastic. 😂

Hope you guys made it to the beach to get those big waves ;)

I’m surprised a weather sealed camera and lens couldn’t handle rain, especially for such a high end product.

Great to see the struggle my videos have lots of that hahaha look forward to seeing the TH side

Hey Nick! It was fun watching you guys in the rainforest, even if you got skunked. There's still never really a bad day out photographing is there, especially when you're with a good friend. My photo friends and I have held umbrellas for each other many times over the years. Good times. I was very fortunate a few years ago to visit that same grove and stand in that same spot where you said everyone and their brother takes the same picture. I took mine for sure and I still like it. However, the next day it snowed! What a magical place with fresh snowfall! Living near there you've probably seen it in snow but for me, coming from Florida and just having a couple days there, I felt very fortunate to see a rainforest in snow. BTW, it was exactly this time of year when I was there (early January). Is snow in that part of Olympic somewhat common? Anyway, I look forward to seeing the rest of what you guys are up to.

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.

Nick I’d love to hear your in the field techniques to clean out corrosion in the small parts of the camera. Thanks

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 ;-)

Fun vid. Hope the cameras are ok. Sheesh!

Hey Nick Page, Don't worry, I took care of that cinder block that was left in the camp site!! LOL #14

Two of my most favorite photogs out and about in the Olympic rain forest. How good is that? Love your reckless bravery with your camera gear but have you never heard of Lenscoat.com rain covers, Nick???
