3 Months Later | How Does the Scene Look Now?

[@mrmtruckermax2]

Not even a hike in or out, just all video from the same location.. It's brilliant!!!

[@GediAstro]

I remember seeing your video three months ago thinking, "yeah right - suuuuure you'll be back there". Well, I stand corrected. Nicely done Sir!

[@marcinszarmach3582]

Lovely images Tom. I think the second one, right before the sun disappeared was a better image. Really liked how you combined the video from July with this one and great in detail explanation of what you've done and the thought process. Well done 👍

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks a lot. It's nice to hear that you appreciated the explanation. Sometimes I feel like I talk too much 👍

[@marcinszarmach3582]

@@ThomasHeatonPhotoI don't think you do, not at all Tom. I really do appreciate any constructive talk. I think you showed in this video how much you care about the audience, from changing the camera position, the mic, a slightly different perspective, the promised return to the location you filmed 3 months ago and the thoughtful process of creating an image and all the why's and how's. This is why I have sticked to your channel from a very early stage of your KZbin journey, because you have always been authentic and honest, adventures and educational. 👍

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Well, there ya go. With dips of worseness. I have to mention that ist is fall all across this latitude. Get out and enjoy the changing of the season. Breathe in, breathe out.

[@millymucci]

ooh film, education, lovely quiet second image. thank you, lovely video.

[@jaypage8823]

Good video Thomas! That's a good concept, photographing the same scene in different seasons, I hope you do more of these.

[@neilj1297]

Great Vid Tom of a beautiful landscape. Absolutely love the before/after comparison.

[@andyandersson]

I was sitting here thinking "this new mic and positioning of the camera looks fantastic!". A minute later you ask if we like it. Yes we do! Looks real good.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Haha, glad you like it.

[@giantjak]

Great video, loving the new camera angles and images! More film photography content please.

[@stuartlauchlan7061]

You're right Thomas, the final image does have a much nicer depth and warmth about it and definitely the best of the 3.

[@Wklambert]

Yea, that 2nd image is spot on. And, yeah... your vids are just as good w 12 of the exact same image, as if they were all different. You've got a knack for this YT stuff man. Thanks for all you do!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

You're too kind ✌️

[@frederickmcdonald6636]

I have to say that this is one of my favourite videos ever. 1st thing is that I absolutely liked the idea of doing a before and after kind of photo or summer/fall photo if you will - perhaps even doing one from the same spot of the 4 seasons. 2nd is that I used to shoot film in my younger days and this just brought back a lot of memories of me and my Canon SLR camera. Thanks as always - be safe....

[@cathalgibbons8634]

Cant believe it was 3 months since the first visit to the rock face. Your October images were the better images no doubt. Really enjoyed how you cut the video from July to now and the explanation of why you came back in Autumn, not just for color change in the ferns but the suns position and why it worked so well. Well done. I hope you get the full res back soon

Finally the wait is over. And a great mic

[@stevemitchell8839]

Great video Tom, would love to see your hi res scans and edit comparisons

[@BrasicOne]

Great to see the follow up and wow what a great result. Seeing the two shots side by side was an eye opener and the Autumn shot was definitely the right choice. Facebook….really….I deleted my account years ago so won’t be seeing you there. Invest in your brilliant KZbin channel…instagram is that still working for you?

[@jirojiro1029]

Quality work as always!

[@PeterGallagher1]

Thanks

[@ZacharyPierce0351]

Loved this!

[@Steve-bq2wz]

Yeah for sure brotha, you picked the best shot. Kick ass amigo

[@RM831BC4E4]

Beautiful images, and a very in depth description of each shot at different times of the year. Your works incredible. And I can’t wait to hang your Calendar 2022

[@Simon_PieMan]

Great idea, the same composition 3 months apart.

[@Jeremy-fh3bk]

I'm starting to associate your logo with Squarespace. Cause the logo comes right after the squarespace announcement. Anyways any support for your channel is greatly appreciated by us viewers

[@Auhana50]

“Don’t you hang up on me!” Click 😂 great vlog happy shooting 🙏

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Another cracking episode loving that blad. The mic sounds great rode go pet chance. I use the wireless gi which has made a huge difference to the way I make content however I still struggle to find the perfect position for the lav mic sometimes it’s great others not so much. Loved both images the foreground grasses had better colour on the first however the rest of the shot was better on the second image. Enjoyed this vid cheers 🥂

[@bethwodephotography]

I always love your channel Thomas. Does this location ever get snow? Would be awesome to see it in summer autumn and winter. I’m highly jealous that u get change of seasons, here in Queensland Australia it’s the same all year round.

[@MatthewRaifman]

Great video! Love the concept and the idea of “opportunistic” photography. That’s a spot on description and exactly how I operate too. But I appreciate to push to be more thoughtful about planning. Nice work!

[@broken12367]

Forgot it was Wednesday till I saw this upload.

[@Paws2Explore]

Hey Tom awesome to have revisited but with the Hasselblad, is this something you may be doing with some of your other haunts? Also what camera bag were you using it didn’t look like the Shimoda. Keep the videos coming, love seeing that notification.

[@CostaMesaPhotography]

Did you feel that the filtered image had more of a green color cast than the non-filtered image? Other than that (and different cloud positions in sky), I really didn't notice too much difference--certainly didn't notice contrast difference, but that could be me. I was impressed that you filmed the piece back in July, and then returned to the same spot to shoot the same image under different conditions. You're the best!!

[@chirsd666]

Great composition! But I'm not sold on the benefits of film over digital. Myself, I would have preferred to be out there with your 50R or my A7RIV 😁

[@spyratekodaks7494]

I'm just here for the film photography!! This is a great video man!! Love it!!

[@erkko69]

I like firs photograph better.Lens Green reflection is ok. Backround is good whit MIST. Mutch better.

[@RonK]

Facebook is sooo YesterYear, no need to worry about it. Cool video here though, stop talking down yourself, all cool what you do

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Wonderful film shots. 👏i hope you get you 500.000 soon!

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

I don't see how you do it. Every Wednesday, week after week - two or three wonderful images. Sounds great from a distance, but I know it has to be a grind sometimes. Anyway, if you will keep on doing them I will keep on enjoying them and clicking "like".

[@roblunnen1653]

Mike sound good not s lot of wind noise but just enough to let us know how windy it is. As always good stuff

[@entestare4805]

Just started watching, and remember the location from a previous video :) Curios to see how things turn out :)

[@raunak.u]

The October images are amazing but I would love to see a collage of all 12 images (on Instagram). If that's not too much to ask. The video was great.

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Awesome video Tom . Brilliant concept to go back three months later . The images prove the fact that change in season and angle/ direction of light make a huge difference to an overall image . Ps did you borrow someone else’s boots or is it the the skinny jeans that make your feet look like side show Bob 😂😜. Peace x

[@1young-geezer]

"... Blow me Nora!" LOL. Really great video Thomas. You keep reinventing your approaches to providing content - I give you HUUUUGE kudos for this. You seem to get more and more entertaining, though that just might be the impression, while you just continue to provide supreme content but there you have it anyway. Love your videos.

[@jsimes1]

Is that what he said?? I thought he said menorah ... 🤣

[@1young-geezer]

@@jsimes1 LOL - yeah I musta mis-underheard

[@harryp6312]

Autumn time"! 🇺🇸 Just plain old Autumn buddy

[@EyeCaptureImages]

Question... I've noticed over the years that you never seem to use lens hoods. But shield the end of the lens with your hand. Why not just use a hood? Is it because you use filters so often you don't bother carrying hoods even when you don't have a filter on? Love the calendar BTW!!! Cheers from Eastern Canada - come shooting sometime!!

[@btownjpl]

If I understood you correctly, in addition to the scans of your images done by a lab, you apparently scan at least some of your images yourself. I looked on your gear page, but didn’t see any flat bed or drum or other type of scanner listed. What is your technique for scanning or otherwise digitizing those 6x6 images?

[@andrewroland]

Yam doin good mister.

[@Frankiez220]

And that’s why I’ve never got into photography because the two pics look much the same to me

[@romiemiller7876]

Why is it that phones always ring when you can’t answer it?

[@IliasKoureas]

Hey Thomas do you connect your Lav mic with your camera or do you do connect the sound with the video in post?

[@carlosm9323]

Your wife's call got you good luck with that last shot. Did you call her back? if not, you will be in trouble mate.

[@lamproskotsi1334]

better with a mic on you :)

I guess the mortgage of the house will have to wait xD

[@00Skyfox]

Please extend all of the love from everybody here to Mrs. Heaton with thanks for being so understanding when you're out trying to capture brief moments in time and can't stop to talk, all for our benefit of your videos.

[@AndyBanner]

Watching a man take the same photo 12 times..... Well, we watch because it's not as boring as you seem to think. I imagine that most of your viewers are photographers and most will see the effort you put in and the enjoyment you get from it, probably like most of us do in varying degrees. There's always some little nugget hidden in the content and it's always worth watching. Thank you.

[@NeoLithiumCat]

I'm not really a photographer, but I am outdoorsy and Thomas does a great job of scratching that outdoorsy itch. It's just the really down to earth atmosphere and attitude. The photography for me just goes to emphasise the appreciation of the outdoors and the landscape.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

@@NeoLithiumCat I took ten shots of the same little bush this morning. It was a little tough and the shot that I was happy with I am not longer enthralled with. I may go back out tomorrow. It's fall after all.

[@amalieemmynoether992]

I too will happily watch 12 shots of the same scene. I've learnt so much from his videos and watching his thought process. The other week I went out shooting in some fog and I swear I could hear Thomas's commentary in my head. Took my best shot if the year.

[@jeffslade1892]

Yeah, using a digital camera we can take hundreds of shots of the same scene, all of them rubbish. With film you have to engage the thought process. Planning a shot is rare for me too, like when I've seen a view and thought 'if the sun was there and ...' and so the cliffs across the valley were lit perfectly in the early morning. And then the developer lost the roll of film.

[@IanWilkinson]

Best part of this video? - The gorgeous mechanical sounds coming from the Hasselblad ;-)

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

This needful but beginners shouldn't settle for videos alone, deep thoughts of life is not shared or made available to everyone. I am so happy for taking the bold step in working and investing $2000 with him after a week I received $9,300 to my bank.

[@Larrywood660]

Been reading through the comments and when he mentioned Mr Edward Jones I know he was right! he has been my Investment manager for long and I'm happy with his services.

[@stevenbridge]

Great idea Thomas, loved both videos. I do a similar thing on Little Mountain here on Vancouver Island. It's an education taking similar shots at different seasons. I've learned two new techniques to try out this week, the Fototripper Grimace and the Heaton Phew, I wonder which one will work better. :)

[@tjsinva]

Let's hope that Facebook doesn't declare you deceased again. ⚰💀 😐 Maybe I didn't pay attention in the past, but your sales page automatically includes Express shipping with tracking for USA delivery which adds £19.99 bringing the total to $54.60 USD. 😲 Maybe the exchange was better in the past, so I'm hedging for the moment. ☮ 🥂

[@shayconaghan]

Was this a BBC documentary? Because it looks amazing and you're a natural!

[@chanceclark3988]

1:22 the fact that he had to set up his video camera, open the gate, walk through, close the gate, open the gate, walk back through, pack up his gear, walk through again, and then close the gate one last time all for this shot.

[@steffenandersensahl9443]

Never call a landscape photographer right a sunrise or sunset lol.

[@erkko69]

I think, if you ask Mads he think the same say. Whatt you think Peter?

[@stuartwatson745]

Tom, you’re a top bloke. Great content as always. It’s as much about you as it is about the photography

[@gohike]

Love the lesson in this video. Revisiting a locational seasonally can produce wonderful results. If I can add my 2 cents on reinvigorating your Facebook page…don’t do it. They are not worth your time. Instead set up a Patreon account. I’d send you $5 per month as a subscriber.

[@Fell_Wanderer]

The bracken is looking golden and beautiful. May I suggest you visit the Coquet valley past Alwinton at Wedder Leap which is exceptional right now.

[@NeoLithiumCat]

I don't think I've seen many people do great things without caring about the quality of what they produce and the user experience. Just by paying attention, you're already a step ahead. There's a reason people are starting to learn from your video style!

[@PhotoTrekr]

Ah, the joys of a manual camera and a hand held meter. Takes me back to my younger days.

[@CalebWeston_dubland]

Love the October composition. It does look great in the fall. I always enjoy revisiting past locations. I just did so myself this past weekend. It wasn’t ideal fall colors but got an early snow storm the night before which made it interesting.

[@mikeissharp]

A snowy winter shot would be great.

[@l1sakathrin]

I love that you show us your disappointment and frustration sometimes, and then gather yourself and move on - it doesn't come across as negative! Now when I have these moments, I tend to think of you and power through!

[@rauldeandrade]

I still think the July shot came out more pleasant despite not being photographically as "clean". Character counts

[@ralfborutta2688]

Facebook ….. NEVER

[@ondrejtoral3794]

The new mic is great, love hearing camera noises! And I had noticed it even before you have asked!

[@creatorsjourney6286]

A reminder of why I shoot digital 😂😂 I have no patience for shooting blind. New technology is made for the new generation of photographers. Watching you shoot like this is like going to the museum and see dinosaur bones. Not a bad thing, I still enjoyed the whole content. Kudos to you Thomas.

Another informative video. Thank you. I hope you called your wife back!

[@PhilSledge]

Hello Thomas, great video as ever and the microphone setup is working well. I have not logged into FB for a while too I can't see the link in the descriptions

[@thingle]

Social media for photography is difficult. Instagram is too limiting and FB I've abandoned long ago.

[@Konfral]

Great video, as always, and taking 12 frames of the same scene to get the keeper on frame 11 is perfectly forgivable. What is NOT forgivable however, is not including any footage of in-campervan tortilla wrap making / ridge monkey cooking ;-)

[@davidellinsworth22]

Love the images. I love Portra and I've just re-stocked my freezer (camera bag 🤣). Just wondered why you didn't use Ektar this time round with those autumn colours popping, or even a slide film (seeing as you were using grads)?

[@李建新-c4l]

Great video, beautiful image Tom! By the way, just as a suggestion, I will be very happy to see if you could share your moments at weibo (a chinese platform similar to twitter or facebook).There are many Chinese audiences who like your video and photograph. But as you know, because of the firewall, it is a little difficult to go to KZbin and Instagram. Anyway, appreciate your adventure！Please keep going on!

[@amalieemmynoether992]

What a difference 3months can make! Beautiful final image. I always joked that my partner had a sixth sense for knowing when the most inconvenient time to call was. Every. Single. Time.🤣

[@23432]

I was going to ask a question, maybe I know the answer. With film I would always bracket reversal/slide film. But with color negatives, I don't remember much difference and stopped doing it. I just thought negative film had a much wider latitude for exposure error it all looked pretty close. What I probably missed was the processor was compensating the print exposures and the prints looked much the same.! I loved the concept and glad you recorded the scene in July.

[@TheLDunn1]

what a salesman...."It's only going to get better, with dips of 'worstness' in between".......I'll take two please ;-)

[@alsstuff]

Great video and not boring at all watching you take the same pic 12 times - bracketing does that so it's really only 4 pics eh? Have you considered taking pics with the drone, just to get that slightly different viewpoint? That's a whole new experience I can tell you. Finally, the thing that jumped out for me (not being actually there) was that brown bush/tree to the left. I would have got distracted by that :-)

[@lisasimpson9343]

Hi, I'm new to your channel, enjoying it. I actually liked your July shot, cringe. My father in law has a Hasselblad, we are lucky enough to have some of those images on our walls, amazing the depth you get. Looking forward to watching more.

[@benruset]

I visited Northumberland in October of 2018 and fell in love with the scenery and whatever magic makes the English sky so gorgeous there. I'm thankful that I can get a little taste of Northumberland again while I wait for it to be safer to travel again. Thanks!

[@kevins8575]

Interesting comparison. Very nice. I also have given up on Facebook, but I'm not going back.

[@theeaselrider4032]

The final image you showed, which you thought was closest to what you were trying to achieve, in places could easily pass as a painting..Being a landscape painter that plays around with photography, it's that type of image that always gets my attention. So that's intended as a compliment, if I didn't say it clearly enough. So I've picked up lots of tips & tricks after subscribing to your channel for the last year or so. Especially in the area of composition.. And any episodes that involve your home-made Camper Van, are also a favourite. Thanks Thomas.

[@richardlarsonphotographer5327]

Enjoyed the Video. Today you inspired me to pull the jeep out of the garage, get out, and shoot the slot canyons south of Winslow, AZ. But it always blue sky's and wind. This would drive you nuts.

[@jimschmidt7303]

Great video, thanks for the insight. I am hedging on the calendar, living near Chicago shipping is as much as the calendar. Grabbing the e-book for now.

Would you consider a video about how you create the presentation of your images ...e.g. the framing of the images and information (iso,F-stop detials) animations etc?

[@nigelbramley4188]

Ahh the joys of shooting film. Encapsulated brilliantly and a treat for any photography student.

[@mapakern3979]

Really curious about the final edit of these photos. Not gonna lie, comparing the lo-res scans with your final July image makes me think that the July frame is way better. But I am sure that your own edit of the scans might change my mind! Great video!

[@jameshanna9320]

You know of the Reunion Island ? Very special French islndtt. The Brittish had it for a while and then settled for the island beside. It must be the most Beautifull island on Earth without eaggerating, because of illness i have still lots to see and photograph as amateur but i'm waiting for delivery of the new Canon which all Pros are V E R Y impressed with!

[@seanbeckman5352]

I thought you said you don't like to move things to make your photos, yet how do you explain that the sun moved?! CHEAT!

[@christheking1]

I agree with you. I prefer the last image. And yes it’s better than the one in July. I appreciate the video showing the comparison and different image due to different conditions. As for Facebook I just deleted it all together so I’ll keep up with your work here and on IG. Cheers.
