[Sound of Waterfall]
Come out today to do a photoshoot. I have about 6 hours of Sun. Today is prime
autumn color day, so I brought everything I have in the Arsenal, all batteries,
three lenses, two camera bodies, all my Lee filters, tripod, everything. So we'll
see what we find today. I hope you guys enjoy.
[Sound of creek]
In here in the forest, following this Creek on the game trail, trying to get
some of those beams and find a composition here on the creek. The water
is up on the creek, so it might be hard to put something in the foreground
interesting, but you can see, it's incredible. Here walking the creek
trying to find the composition, but the water is up,
so it's hard to put something interesting in the foreground. Today there is
some incredible color, the forest here is amazing. Cruising
along with our day here, trying to take as many photos as we can, with the amount
of light that we have for today. I went and went on a kind of a feeding frenzy
with a telephoto lens and I'll put those photos up for you now.
Shooting almost every direction of the river, some nice autumn color, there was
even some nice, as the Sun was coming up and evaporating the moisture that was on
the ground from last night, some crazy light beams on the river and
in the forest, so I hope you guys enjoy those photos. I'll try to bring my camera
out more, during the photoshoot to share what I'm doing, but so far so good.
Enjoying the day, we'll get back at it here. We're making our way up to our hike
here. Come along the road and it couldn't pass up a little bend in the road there.
My thought is to put the road in the foreground, with that little S as the
subject in the road, it's covered by wonderful Leafs
right now, some amazing autumn color on light coming through the forest. So I
shot at ISO 200, f-16 and I think I'm about a one-second right now. Doing more
of a longer exposure, so I hope you guys enjoy it, and then we're going to move on
to our next composition here.
[Sound of the Forest]
I got the composition set up here, ISO 1600 and the f7, at a hundred, that actually
is a thousandth of a second, and I'm trying to get that backlit maple leaf
right there, so I think a really fast shutter, because it's so bright, and then
also it's kind of moving in the breeze, so I'm waiting for it to sit still.
because we don't want any motion blur. Sometimes photography is about patience.
We are in the exact same spot here. I'm shooting like an abstract shot, with the
patterns of the leaves, with those backlit-all those mosses off that maple
tree over there. It might be hard to see in the video, but
I hope you guys enjoy this - we're gonna move to a different location here,
but I thought I'd capture some nice photos of this area. You can easily spend
an hour thru here wandering with your tripod, amazing.
[Sound of the River]
I've gotta another composition worked out. Using telephoto lens to simply
things. ISO 800 at one eighth of a second,
and I use this hillside over here, to create slope angles. A little bit of snow
up there on that peak and some obvious autumn color, to create a composition.
Sitting here by the river, can't beat it. Let's go find another composition. I've
got another composition set up. Now what I find overwhelming with scenes like
this, is there's so many distractions, but you have this amazing
leaves on these rocks here, and the crystal blue water cascading over the
moss, so it's hard not to take a nice photo. Doing a long exposure, because it's so
dark in here.
So I hope you guys enjoy the photo.
Sitting here in the forest, trying to find a composition, but there's so much
color around, it's hard. Times like this just makes you want to go home and
sell our camera gear, because it's just so terrible. We're off trail here, following
this little creek through the magical forest, as you can see there is lots to take
pictures of, so we're gonna wander through the forest for about a hour or
two, and see if you can find some compositions.
Alright, got a composition set up here.
Something more minimalist,
with the leaf and the rock there and
then I up'd the ISO, so not to get too much
motion of the water, the more of the glassy reflection of the sky
to create a nice effect.
[Sound of Water]
Well, we are getting some nice compositions here.
As you can see, this forest is really amazing and the nice leaves on the rocks
in the foreground. You really have to show patience and hone in on particular
things, because there's so many beautiful things to choose from.
A little bit more sun's coming up, so that gets a pretty intense light. Would
be nice to have a little bit of overcast, but that's okay. Take what we can get. I
got the composition set up here, we're into portrait mode
and put some of these leaves in the foreground, and use the water motion to
create an s-curve, and then got some highlighted back with leaves in the
background.
Really hope it turns out. It's a beautiful place
In the afternoon. This big old growth here, was so saturated from all the
recent rain, it's finally been getting some Sun and now it's just steaming. I
got a composition set up here, one of many this forest. He has his tripod over
there, getting another composition. As i was saying, this forest it's so
amazing, that I'm sure, won't be a problem to get multiple exposures. Look at these
leaves in their prime. Got nice side lit ferns and trees, backlit maple leaves. You
couldn't even ask for more. Very lucky to be able to be out here enjoying. Getting
some compositions. You can see the Sun going down. It's been an amazing day.
We're gonna go try to sneak out a few more photos, but time isn't on our side;
when the Sun is disappearing. So let's go see what we can find.
Alright, we're winding down the day. Getting our last compositions. It has been a
fun adventure, it's been a fun day full of autumn bliss. Hope you guys enjoyed a
few photos, and our journey out in nature here. You can see this amazing reflections
here.
