I love Vegas! So close to so many beautiful landscapes! But yeah, I will not go there in the summer haha. Many people love the heat, I just can't handle anything above 85. If you want to escape the heat, then the coast is a good way to do it for sure :)

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I don't know many people around here yet, but the ones I know are great.

@@aows Im glad. I was raising children at the time, SF isn't family friendly.

ok

If you say so.

@@rfrover not only me, alot of people know that

Thank you so much, Alberto!

Thank you!

Hehe, agreed!

Thanks! It's actually a wide angle adapter. The lens is a 24-70mm equivalent, and that adapter gives me a 18mm field of view. The quality is not the best, but because I crop it to square it's not a big deal.

Yes! That's my experience as well. I find the phone very distracting, I love having a standalone camera. I still use my phone for photography every once in a while, of course, but not my favorite way to do it. That being said, I'm tempted to upgrade to a phone with a telephoto lens because compact cameras are dying and many haven't gotten any upgrades in years, while at the same time skyrocketing in price. I miss my RX100vii and its 200mm reach a lot, but there's no way I'm spending $1,400 on that camera. Looks like Panasonic has also given up with that kind of cameras a while ago. It's too bad.

Haha, I bet it's not as hot over there. I loved my time in Lofoten, and can't wait to go back!

I’ve always wanted to visit Norway!!

Hmm, not sure what parts of the city you went to, I've been visiting SF for over 10 years before moving here, and I always loved this place. Not saying it's perfect or it doesn't have problems, it definitely does, but it's a lovely and beautiful place. Maybe you should give it another chance!

@@aows i must but e.g.: I've traveled the world and I've never seen so many bums and drug addicts with extreme mental issues in the one place as San Francisco. They really did taint the city for me... obviously. PS you are the best content creator on KZfaq. Thnx!

@@timshields8720 there are definitely some spots that fit that description, but most of the city is not like that. I've been walking and exploring a lot in the last few weeks (to the point that I got injured, my right foot said enough 😅) and I didn't see much of that if any at all. I lived in Portland for 6 years and it's so much worse over there (or used to be). Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching my videos, I really appreciate it!

@@aows you rock mate. Come to New Zealand. You'll always have a free place to stay at and I'd love to show you around.

@@timshields8720 I would really, really love to go to New Zealand. Such a cool place. So far away, though. Hopefully one day!

Thank you so much, David! Glad you liked them.

I have a few from a while ago, check them out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqhjn5ar37i1kac.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc-gpLKmna-tk4U.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNmIa8Ziyq7MnGQ.html

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Yes, there's beauty everywhere if you look close enough :)

Your very welcome Adrian 😊

Thank you so much!

Not a bad one, nope! Thank you for watching.

Welcome aboard! And thank you so much for the kind words. Photography is an amazing tool to find beauty in the everyday, it's definitely opened my eyes and helped rediscover my own hometown, and at the same time it's led me on so many adventures over the years. Can't be more thankful. Japanese ink paintings are one of my biggest inspirations, no doubt! Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much, glad you liked the pictures! So the file I get after cropping to square is around 3650x3650 pixels, or around 13.3MP, which is more than enough for what I do. My prints are usually no bigger than 8x8 inches, but that resolution should be enough for much larger ones. I print even smaller files, like the ones I get from my drone or my phone (both 12MP, down to 3000x3000 after the crop), and they look amazing as well. Again, this will depend on what kind of photography one does, and how much detail one needs.

@@aows That makes perfect sense. Thanks for taking the time to write out a detailed reply, and for sharing your knowledge and love of photography so freely.

Haha, I love the foghorns, especially on a very foggy day early in the morning, when the streets are still empty. Such an eerie feeling. Thank you for watching!

Haha, there's nothing like the real deal :)

Thank you!

Ouch, I did not know that! So thank you for letting me know, I'll make sure to avoid it.

@@aows It’s really nasty stuff and unfortunately you’ll now find it all over the Bay Area, and sadly most people have no idea what it is or how dangerous it can be.

@@jeffp1519 indeed, I had no idea. And very true, it is everywhere.

Спасибо большое за просмотр, я рада, что вам понравилось!

Thanks! They are the perfect camera for walking in a city. I wish they weren't going away... at least these tiny zoom pocket cameras.

Thanks! I miss it A LOT here in the city. I was actually looking at one a few weeks ago, but it's crazy they are more expensive now than it first came out. Not sure if Sony is making it anymore or it has been discontinued, but I'd buy a new improved one in a heart beat!

@@aows We've just seen them available with a small cashback - but still with a waiting time. And still expensive. You've already made a video about your image editing process. Has it changed a lot over time or has it only been slightly refined? For example, how much happens when you take the photo. I myself photographed quite flat for a long time and then later increased the contrast a lot in post-production, preferably in Capture One - the algorithm for Sony Raws seemed to me to be somehow more homogeneous compared to Adobe Lightroom. In the meantime, the difference no longer seems so great. Over time, I now shoot with high contrast and sometimes the jpg, which I may edit slightly, is enough for me. Of course, it depends on the goal. For a publication I still edit it, usually over days, because my own mood plays a big part in the result :) looking forward to more city walks from you. I like the transition from nature to urban and vice versa.

@@aows Oh, and I would also buy a new version of the rx100 in a heartbeat. 📸

@@SOOCMAG I've made a few small changes but it's still the same for the most part. I'm pretty sure that most of the time an "opinionated" JPG would be enough, but I still like to have the flexibility of the raw file. For example, I like to go back to old images and edit them in slightly different ways, and that's harder to do with a JPG.

Where in Eastern oregon? Beautiful place, but I can imagine it gets pretty hot in the summer. Sunrise and sunset are always a good bet, but they happen so early / late these days!

@@aows NE, LaGrande. Yes sunrise is around 4AM and sunset is about 10PM, lol. I live 10 miles from the Eagle Cap wilderness but it is a remote place. You need to backpack in to get anywhere interesting and all the trails are difficult+ rating. I did just that when I was 20 years younger, but that's not happening now for sure. I just need to stop taking October through April for granted and stop whining about the cold too!!

@@EdwardMartinsPhotography oooh, very nice! The Wallowas are a place I've been wanting to visit for years, it looks incredibly beautiful. And I hear you, it's always greener somewhere else... I'm sure I will be missing the weather patterns here in SF, where it's pretty much the same all year-round. Especially the snow! Anyway, hope you get to make some good photographs during the hot summer! Have a great day.

Thank you so much, Heather!

Totally agree 👍🏻

@@aows - Your work is just breathtaking, Adrian. Thank you 😊

Thanks!

Thank you for watching! It's a pretty cool city, especially because of the weather, but always so many things going on.

I had my first experience a few years ago when I photographed the golden gate bridge on a foggy night in late June. I got so cold I still remember the chills today, and I was wearing a coat! I am usually one of the last ones to get cold among family and friends, but here in the city I find myself wearing a winter hat quite often haha. You are right, when it gets windy (and that's almost every day) it gets to your bones with the humidity. I guess we'll be saving quite a bit of money on AC.

@@aows It's really hard to explain to people how it feels. I miss it, and we may move back someday. P.S. If you are in the Richmond District, check out Pizzetta, which is on 23rd Ave. at California. Very small, but great pizzas.

@@danieli.9252 thank you, I will check it out! We are indeed in the Richmond.
