This is what separates the good from the amazing. Attention to detail, putting in effort and taking the time and frames to create art.

The sunlight pushing its way through the trees gives it a eerie almost surreal look.

Enjoyed this last shot...chaos into peace and tranquillity.

Beautiful! Great video. Nick Page at his best. Thank you.

Excellent video Nick. I know what you mean about feeling rushed. So nice to be able to slow down. Great shots and so interesting seeing your shooting process. Thanks for sharing.

Man, you really nailed the moss shot. Stunning edit.

Perfect choice of music for these photos, great shoot Nick!

Backlight + timber= awesomeness

Thank you so much for this wonderful & educational video. It was so helpful to see where you focused for your water rapids shot! Beautiful images and thanks for your work!

Thank you Nick for all your wonderful content rich videos. It was so cool to get to meet you at the parking lot the day you shot this video and thank you in person. Please keep up the great work, thanks to you I'm becoming a much better photographer!

Thanks for explaining the different exposures Nick. Really helpful!

Wow your photographs is always so amazing !! I always learning a lots from you

Very, very nice images. Tons of mood and texture. Definitely see these large on a wall.

Really love how you take your time and look through all the little details and get everything how you want to build the shot. Definitely taught me to slow down, and check the details. Awesome shots Nick!

Yep got to love backlight. These woodland photos are epic. Thank you again for taking the time to shear with us . Awesomeness

Huge backlighting fan as well. Works well in so many types of photography.

Great video, love the explanations of the thinking behind the shots

Backlight is awesome especially for fall colours. It just brings scenes to life.

Really enjoyed hearing your thought processes about the things that didn’t work as well as the things that did 🙂

Another great video Nick, stunning images to really love the back lit moss image 👌🙏👍

Love these "moody" shots. You are the master at these types of shots. Still the best music of any KZfaqr

One of your best! I love the teaching moment. You have convinced me that you are a great teacher. I'm off to buy one of your tutorials.

Thanks for including the camera settings that you use to get the look that you want and for including the 'failures' or difficult parts of composing and creating a photo. I photograph in the same environment that you were in and appreciate that you struggle with the same issues I do.

Love your photos as always and thanks for the information 😊

On my way!, Nick these shots are awesome. I totally agree that this is the kinda shooting that separates the awesome from the good. That area is just so amazing I’d love to see it in person. Great job Nick

Great vlog , good music too. Thank you for sharing Nick.

This is, by far, one of the most helpful videos you've done man. I don't a have peer group to go out and shoot with so to learn how you bracket images really helps a lot.

Really great video. I like how you show what you are doing with the settings on your camera! For a newbie this is very helpful!! Thanks.

Thanks for showing your thought process! I love seeing the final results, but I also enjoy seeing the thought process in action; focus stacking, planning for exposure blending (even if you might not use it), trying different apertures. I know I should do that too, but it helps me not be lazy when I see a pro putting it into practice.

I just love how these videos give out ideas on how to shoot what one could consider less than ideal conditions. I too thought that swirling water looked like it'd possibly make a good photos but after seeing both your frames totally agree neither one was great. I once shot something similar with swirling bubbles and foam but set my camera to interval mode and let it shoot many frames, eery single one was vastly different but I found one that truly captured movement and just worked wonderfully. I hope you do more videos on how to shoot on less than ideal days, they're really something you don't see many photographers doing but such a reality of life, can't tell you how many times I spent 2 or 3 days, even longer at somewhere and just got the worst weather for photography ever then other times have literally been driving somewhere and out of nowhere the best light I've ever seen.

Love love love back lighting! Magnificent shot at 2:30!

Thanks for the video Nick! I really like the last shot!

Besides the great photos... another adventure into the extraordinary mind processes of the thoughtful photographer! Keep it come'n my friend.

Inspirational tutorial Nick, thank you for putting it together👍🙂

loving these videos in which you explain your process as you do the work, it is really helping me improve ready for university

Great vid and stellar images again Nick. 8:00 is a further reminder why i love my Fuji X-T2, portrait oriented flip up screen. Thanks again for your continued efforts and the inspiration you put forth.

Great video & gorgeous atmospheric images. 👌

Nice Video and some great scenery. I did a similar Fall hike today in Missouri. Great Fall colors and temperatures and I found some good compositions. Just a great day to be outside enjoying nature. Your bracketed photo of that backlit moss is a winner.

As always, nice work Nick. I've been out there a bit further west in the Willamette National Forest. Gorgeous country.

Thanks. I like the real time "problem solving" and seeing how you think focus stacking for the scene. And the laying down video was funny!

Gorgeous shots. Your so inspiring ❤

Wow, Really cool video and amazing photos!

As a newcomer, really enjoying your videos and style. Two amazing shots and really useful talk through of how they were taken.

Nick, backlit moss shot just epic 👌

I just like the flow in your videos👍, nice images by the way😃

The waterfall photo came beautiful. Making the ordinary special.

a true gentleman, super photography

I had to do the same thing the other day always good to get different perspectives of the shot. Great work Nick

Wow! Amazing shots and a very inspiring videography. Well done. I'm about to upgrade from my first over a decade old DSLR and get back to photography.

You know when Nick Page has made a difference to your photography when you go to your favorite local location on a beautiful clear day and go "ahh crap there's no clouds in the sky" :0)

Great images Nick!

Thank you Nick, this video was extremely useful and eye opening.

I like the whirlpool of 9:02. It looks more artistic than the later one. The mossy forest looks spooky, perfect for the season. Happy shooting!!

Great story and video production 👌

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! My favourite part was for the shot of the swirling water where you were adjusting your shutter speed. My favourite shot was the last one with the water going over the natural river riffle.

Love the backlit moss photo. I’ll have to go hunt for some on the next stupid sunny weekend. The falls look like the sweet creek area which is always fun to explore. Spent all day there on Oct 12th this year and the storm from the week before took all the leaves from the big leaf maples down early.

Loving the b-roll on this video.

Thank you Nick. My first time on your channel. I love your determination & commentary. As somebody used to say,,,,,,I’ll be back. Neville J.

Second forest shot was a ripper, Nick. Well done old trout.

Really like the backlight shot with those shapes!

Nice work on these images Nick

Amazing images with the backlight, would love to see you make a simple video about blending the waterfall images, thanks for sharing.

Love the intro with the backlight shots

Nick, Like you, "streaming backlight" always catches my eye. Sometimes I try too hard (if that's possible) to wring-out a composition in that type of light, when there may, in fact, be no composition to be had. When you show the compositions that don't work, that serves to validate my process of "fail-to-succeed." You work the scene until it works, and that's a great way to win. I also like that you are engaging your comments more often (again).Not that your content isn't outstanding, but because you have gone back to a good amount of comment response, I have re-subscribed. Thank-You, Mike

Very LOTRy Nick. Music adds to the drama as well. Imagine walking around in the forest and suddenly you spot a random guy laying around at the creek... 😂👌🏼

Just amazing 👏👏👏👏👏

Wonderful video - I really enjoyed your walkthrough on how the picture was captured. I’m a new subscriber- found you via Thomas.

Great - informative and entertaining.

Nice video. I really liked the detailed explanation and settings of the shots. I would really like to see a post processing video of that last picture. Brgs Thomas

Thanks.. you inspire me man.

you are the Orton Effect master my friend, very nice.

Digging the new tunes!

Nice composition Nick......! I hate being rushed.

Its always nice just to lie down and take images nothing like relaxing and photography :)

Surrealistic !! Speedlight may come in handy, hidden on the ground to help backlight the moss if the sun is not powerful enough. Thanks for sharing !!

Beautiful images, Nick. Would love to see your method for blending the exposures for the forest image.

Seen you hiking, i saw some great compositions! Are you looking enough Nick? Hahaha. I like this kind of vlogs. Eventhoug sometimes finding a good composition may be a struggle.

amazing

You sir are rapidly becoming, if you're not already, the best photographer on the tube (in my opinion) and still think your decision to go it alone and not sponsored is brave and a brilliant move, as people who watch the videos listen to your advice and maybe buy the cameras or equipment you review, why? Because its unbiased 👍👍👍

Nice video.

@9:34 Very much enjoyed your detailed explanation of this shot. I need to slow down and try different camera settings to achieve the vision I'm seeing.

Waiting for our rainy to season to pick up so that I can go do some of this in the forests along the escarpment here in South Africa. Currently it is hot and dry, with a lot having been destroyed by fire. I see it's not going well in LA there either.

so jealous of that red focus box.........

Hi Nick. This is one of my favorite videos. Your thoughts behind the images you are taking and why they are needed and how they will be used in the final edit. Not sure how many times I was out taking photos and get back to edit them and kick myself for not getting a faster exposure or a focus stack. I really like your thought process in the field.

Love the water shot and the backlit image! I'm assuming "downstream" didn't give you and images.

So awesome to hear another photographers thoughts on working through compositions. Even when shooting with other photographers rarely do we share that many thoughts on the compositions - usually too busy trying to get them. Hey, how did you keep you feet dry in that stream???

great video and images, Im always nervous seeing photographers putting their cameras in running water!!!

Thanks for taking us along! By Central Oregon you meant the central coast, right? I don't know where you were but the Smith River area is pretty good for what you wanted.

great video! finally sony allow to change color for the focus point :). i wish that the next update for a7r iii will include this

I carry a yoga mat I can use for laying down like that. Weighs next to nothing, rolls up and straps onto bottom of my backpack and works great for keeping the creepy crawlys off you.

I'm with you, backlighting is great! I just can't get good results (need to work on post processing skills).

Beautiful shots and amazing light in the images. I'll be honest, that tree dead in the center kind of throws me off a bit. Otherwise, excellent stuff!

Nick great video. How do you handle vinetting on you Sony at 16mm. On my a7r3 if I put anything more than a polarizer even at 87mm I get the problem.

First...Nice video spooky.

I struggle with stacking and taking numerous shots and blending them with different exposures. How do you remember which shot goes with what if you take numerous shots trying to get what you want? Beautiful shots and your editing skills are 2nd to none!

Beautiful, Nick

Nice photos Nick. I currently live in Qatar, sunny 360 days a year. Wish I had a forest to wander thru. About how many times do you get out and shoot per week/ month.

I love your images! I'm a bit curious what would happen if you bumped up your ISO just a bit more on the waterfall shot?

How does one get the flexible spot to light up like Nick's? Mine is always dark grey and hard to see in most situations.

Laying Down on The Job A? Slacker! lol
