Yes thanks Brian! Its so hard to regord on Woods, because if People see you they think you are weird maniac. They dont understand what you do. 👍😀Good luck.

Brian’s recording of the raven conversation made the opening video particularly memorable. He succeeded in capturing the authority of a raven’s voice and the acoustics of the forest precisely.

You are preaching to a converted in this video. Thank you showing others what I call the many little pictures inside the big picture, basically my (something to do) photography thing. There are always countless little pictures to be made when the one or two BIG landscape photos does not happen for whatever reason. There are also great lessens in the way you cropped the images . Good one!

I've been catching up on a few of your videos to get into the mindset of shooting in the area, which is working well as your content is very inspirational!

Loved the opening minutes; the profound quiet of a westcoast dawn punctuated by the sound of crows! It's something unique to the area, I think, and one's cares flow away in the babbling brook. You really upped the game with production values on this one, Adam, and found the beautiful details even with the challenges of a month that normally would have had a bit more moisture to wash and freshen the woods!👍👍

One of the photo instructors I was lucky to have in college in the '70s was John Upton, a prodigious author who studied with Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Minor White, Dorothea Lange, and Edward Weston, had this advice. "Get as close as you can to the subject, and then take one step forward." Meaning a lot of photographers just stop and stand there to take a photo and don't take the time to move around, have the camera higher or lower, use portrait or landscape, whichever gives the best composition. There was this little device he had us make out of cardboard was an adjustable frame to show us the crop that would work on a photo. We'd also hold it up as we moved closer or farther from the subject to help us visualize the scene.

You must be located in my part of the world; maples, red alder, sword ferns, surely the Pacific Northwest. I’m sitting at the breakfast table, apparently in the audio sweet spot of my iPad as the soundtrack made-me-look outside to the urban green belt to see the non-native bird I was hearing. Kudos to Brian for a perfect recording and to you for production and camera work. I’m typically one to find fault, overly so. I’m stymied

Keep up the great work you do in educating and entertaining us. I really hope that these lovely, important and natural old growth forests can be saved. Many thanks. P.S. Did I spot you on the Gordon River Road about 3 weeks ago?

@@QuietLightPhoto As you know none of these Fuji lenses let you focus on close intimate scenes. I am not interested in shooting bugs but would like to shoot closer than what the 45-100 allows. Would the 18mm extension do that? I rented the 45mm tube and realized it was for extremely close work.

Yes it would allow closer focus. Best bet would be to try one out first as you did with the longer tube.
