It’s an instructive pleasure to tour the roots of your masterful skills as a landscape photographer.

What a magnificent display of the dazzling beauty our great and amazing Creator has made for us to enjoy!
-
Good tips. But what a fantastically pleasant 10 min watching garden photos float by on the screen. I'll have to save to play again . Thanks - tim

Good timing as a friend just asked me to take some photos of her garden!
-
Great images. Thank you so much Adam. I find it really difficult to photograph my garden. I would love to see more like this. Lovely. ❤❤❤❤
-
Great tips, Adam— and love the video vignettes!
-
Wonderful! I love going to gardens, thanks Adam! 👍😄💕
-
Thank you, Adam. That's a magnificent body of work. I think that your tips (I'd call them principles) may also be applied to other genres as a way of storytelling. Very inspirational work. Cheers!
-
Great tips and interesting to see a video about a less-common subject for our photography
-
Overcast light, good to know!
-
Produced a string of duds yesterday. You inspire to loop back, look at what might have been done and try again. Education and inspiration! Many thanks!
-
Great shots Adam. I always enjoy your ventures back into the Botanical side especially the more intimate close up work. It maybe interesting to see some intimate fungal work in the autumn. I'm sure some of those fantastic Canadian forests have some great offerings. Best wishes to you.

For me, I'd make tip no. 5 to no. 1. There's nothing like soft, overcast light for flower photography. I would also mention the use of backlighting, especially for closeups.
-
As always Adam , excellent. This is one area that I really.like. Gardens are amazing. Just look at Monets work. You have some truly outstanding images here. Thank you Adam wonderful video.
-
Thanks... Great advice... 🙂
-
Great tips Adam and most of them I try and incorporate everyday. Especially with 55 acres to try and cover ;)
-
Some gorgeous shots there Adam. You certainly were blessed with photographing some beautiful gardens. Photographing iris is what got me into DSLR photography. Salem, Oregon was well regarded as "iris heaven" with all the hybridizers down there.
-
Wonderful images sir.
-
It’s definitely the time of year for gardens! Thanks for the tips.

Beautiful works❤
