How Most People Shoot Landscape Photography

Pre-Order Here: thomasheaton.c...
Today I head out with a Nikon ZZ II & a 24-70 f2.8 lens. I take my camper van & shoot landscape photography the way that most of us do, which is as and when we can, with limited time & without the luxury of travelling to exotic locations. I hope I can show that even with limited time, dull weather and not so dramatic locations, it is still possible to shoot awesome images. I also injur myself in this video :-/

Happy to report my neck is much much better after a short rest. Calendar pre-orders finish on Friday, so get that free signed print: thomasheaton.co.uk/product/2022-calendar/

[@PMCN53]

I've ordered my copy! Glad your neck is improving, TLC from the wife?

[@francisschweitzer8431]

Ohh about that neck… I keep a heating pad … you have a large Inverter for the power to cook so the pad will work. Since you have a place to lay down like I do in my semi truck … that heating pad works wonders

[@rickdenbraber6869]

When and why or did you switch from the gfx 50 to the z7?did you say or are you going to?

[@aaronza7218]

Good to know you're okay Tom. Stay safe out there. And thank you for great content, as always.

[@sterby1]

You are getting old, Thomas, can't deny it, it just shot you in the neck. Also these kind of pains radiate out from the shoulder blade area, it isn't exactly your neck muscles being pulled.

[@koalasquadron530]

I had a stroke in 2017 and had to give up much of my photography, including my medium-format digital outfit. Take care Thomas and don't take your health for granted!

[@andrewbrooks2001]

I liked the wider shot you got of the fern with the video. It was a bright green contrasted against a dark muted background and a mossy foreground. Great video and location

[@1216BJP]

I have watched you since you first started. Still enjoy yor videos. My only comment over the years is that you do not give locations of where you are. Chris Sale does in the lakes, I visit this often and would like to know where you have made some great photographs. Keep up the good work Brian Jackson

[@aliskandari]

Oh yes, I looove this lens! Too bad mine got broken in a very inconvenient accident - it still functions, but the zoom ring now takes some additional effort to turn. I traveled to Altay mountains recently, 70-200 2.8gave me mostly everything I needed, but 24-70 proved to be irreplaceable in some cases. Not even by the 50 mm. And the more I learn about photography (20 years in, still learning), the less I use wider lenses

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

NIce story telling Thomas, with nice overlay of b roll and music! NIce!

[@markbonham]

Prefer the Nikon image but the two side by side as a diptych also works for me. Great fun to watch apart from the neck pain! 👏👍

[@Realletsplaygrey]

I was excited that you liked the 24-120 and i was sold on it, now I’m curious to see a video about every reason why you switched to the 24-70

[@KyleClements]

After a 4 day hike through Laugavegur a few years back with my camera swinging around my neck, I gave myself a similar neck injury. This brought back some memories of that adventure. Now I swear by wrist straps and camera clips. Swinging gear = strain injury just waiting to happen. Great video.

[@Chreeeys]

Hi Thomas, love your content since many years! Wild video suggestion: Go out on a 2-3 day trip into the "wild" and build a primitive camp/shelter incl. preparing and lighting a camp fire etc. And then take on some small photography journeys from there. So basically like @XanderBudnick but with the added cherry of landscape photography. NOW THAT is something I'd enjoy :)

[@allankerr668]

Nikon version this time Tom! Vlogs are so informative and interesting! Love them! Glad the necks better!

[@robertgrenader858]

I love the Nikon fern image. The IR, frankly, looks blown out.

[@chriswardlecousins]

Love the Nikon version of the fern photo, I think the rich colours just added to that - brilliant! And that rowan tree 😍, I’ve been trying to get a shot of a nice rowan in my local woodland but alas, it’s evaded me again this year! We have some lovely ones in full berry, but they are all in housing estates 🤦‍♂️ Glad your neck is feeling better 👍

[@wendynewing8834]

I'm glad that you are on the mend. I preferred the Nikon version. The green was wonderful, and so was the clarity of your new lens.

[@HelenaOfDetroit]

I've had a couple injuries which really took a long time to recover from. Hurt my neck falling on my face after tripping over something. It twisted my neck so hard that it pinched a nerve and my right hand was numb for months. Another time, I got injured making something out of steel in my home shop. Was cutting a piece using an angle grinder and it kicked backwards towards me. Hit my left wrist, and had to have emergency surgery. I'll never have full movement or feeling in my left wrist and some fingers, but I can still do everything again. Thing they never you though, is that the injuries just make life a little painful. Every day things get a little harder to do. Good luck, please take care of yourself

[@davidellinsworth22]

Put a box of Nurofen Plus in the glove compartment next time 🤣. Fern image was lovely.... very Simon Booth

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

'Very Simon Booth' is a fine compliment. 👍👍

[@davidellinsworth22]

[@susanfirth2279]

Glad your neck is on the mend. Takes a bit longer to recovery as we get older. Sad to say but can speak from experience. Loved the Nikon image of the fern/bracken best. Felt like I could just reach out and touch it. Take care of yourself.

[@pathogan4854]

glad your on the mend !!

[@davidpipeline]

I like the Nikon version best. The IR looks like it lacks a bit of detail (a bit too white). Enjoyed the video though👍

[@BirdsandMore2376]

Ahh yikes! I feel your pain! I wiped out last summer hiking with a heavy camera pack and tripod. Loose rocks slipped out from under my hiking boots and to prevent landing on my camera pack I twisted to one side, landing on my butt. That tweeked my back and I didn't think I was going to get up to hike a mile or so back to the truck. A miserable experience that had me gimping about for over a week. Do be careful, Thomas! Love your videos. Cheers from Arizona!

[@LarryFasnacht]

I’m a big fan of IR but I like the color version of the fern better. Nice to see your pano worked out!

[@garyashford]

the detail from the Nikon lens looks great... I think I'm going to have to get myself one (wife permitting lol)

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

It was sooo good. I was blown away.

[@robertwhitemoto]

over the last 3 months I've developed quite the neck ache myself... turns out to be slight C6-C7 compression. I have a photo trip in March that I'm hoping won't be effected by it. After that, we will get it fixed. Here's hoping you feel better soon Tom, you are a few decades younger than me... I'm sure it will work itself out soon. beautiful tree (berries) !!

[@notharry]

In case it is of interest, Thomas, I can let you know as someone with moderately severe spinal stenosis in both the neck and lumbar regions,that I considerably reduced next paid issues by using a Nicama chest harness (it's like a mini reverse backpack) which can carry at a pinch 2 camera bodies with one having a large lens and the other a smaller one PLUS a paid of binoculars (I am a bird watcher) without putting any load at all on the neck. It does not interfere with using a rucksack type camera bag, but getting both on and off is a bit of a rigmarole. You probably don't need this sort of help, but I was prompted to comment by your remark about the risk of disability stopping you working!

[@stevehargatephotography6390]

I prefer the Nikon version of the Fern over the infrared Tom, I'm Steve by the way, I didn't introduce myself as we chatted on the way back from the fell to the carpark, thanks very much for suggesting i take time to look around the quarry, I did (after buying new cards!), and I'll go back when I'm next in the area at the end of October to see how it looks in a different season. Nice to meet you.

[@michaeldesselle7589]

So glad you recovered so quickly! As always, your videos are inspiring 🙏

[@michaeldesselle7589]

PS, the color version of the fern is my favorite 😉

Yeah, mine too 👍

[@ejm922]

Infra red hot spots are a real pain. I first came across it with the Sigma 16mm DC DN on Canon EOS M6.

[@ivanstevens]

Lovely images. Hope you get better soon.

[@attrell64]

Just seen the van's registration f/11 - Heaton 😀

[@macronencer]

I can picture the tall tale over the beer in the pub now... "yeah on my last shoot I was injured by this massive bull. Got me in the neck, but I'm OK now." :) Glad you fully recovered. I really loved that shot of the tree with the berries, by the way. If you can manage it on an August Bank Holiday, why not come up here to Scotland? We have our August Bank Holiday earlier in the month, so no unusual crowds about! Well, I suppose there might be a few English tourists... ;)

[@c141charlie]

I gave my Nikkor Z 24-120 the baby Moses treatment. Put it in a water proofed basket and sent it down the river. It was then picked up by Peter Lik’s daughter who was bathing in the river. She adopted it and used it to photograph the exodus of Instagram.

[@ronmarsalis941]

Looking at your Vlog, it appeared that you had a pinched nerve in your neck. Glad to hear you got over it, had to see a chiropractor once to get the issue resolved. Hope you’re enjoying that S 24-70 2.8, that’s my go to lens for Z7ii.

[@john_norris]

You're getting old mate ! 😅 Seriously, I feel for you as so many others will. Painful, nagging and draining. But its great to hear that you're on the mend. Not wishing to detract from your photography, I love watching your van exploits and always great to see you in the Lakes. Calendar now ordered! 🙏

[@alanevans9246]

Nikon version….. Also, it is tuff getting old ain’t it… Glad you recovered quickly! Keep snapping!

[@jambob169]

You might want to consider the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm for the Fuji - It get's a noticeable hotspot from around f8, but anything below that is fine. At 12mm, even F5.6 is pretty much hyperfocal. They're cheap, built like a tank, and VERY sharp.

[@sapphieburry5216]

There is no such thing as too much purple heather Tom! 😂 That said, the pic of the light on the heather is absolutely beautiful 😍

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Haha, I'm sure you're right.

[@martinsmyth5580]

I much prefer the Nikon shot on the ferns. Maybe a spay of water on them would have given it a better look, but that's subjective :)

Those bull related neck injuries are more common than you think! Enjoyed this episode, cheers

[@guenin]

I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm not worried about you.

The Nikon version by far. The blast your face off-greens in ferns should imo be portraited in color.

[@barbarachamberlain6918]

Nikon version of the fern, for sure.

[@AndreasLudwigPhD]

Nikon preferred. just not enough contrasting detail for the infrared. much nicer to have the soothing colours.

[@lordpoly8194]

Preferred the Nikon version. Thanks for this video.

[@JamesBillingsPhotography]

I prefer the Nikon version - to me, that's not really a subject that you need infra red for, you could have achieved the same just in LR converting to mono and cranking up the green + yellow sliders :) FWIW, I find IR works best when you have a variety of "stuff" in shot so that the unique way IR behaves is revealed.

[@CourtneyVictoria]

Trapping a nerve in your neck hurts like hell! 😬 Glad it's better. Lovely fern shot!

[@markhyde1970]

Love the green of the fern. Big infra red fan , but not on that occasion in my subjective opinion. Rowan Tree was a stunner . Trapped a nerve in my neck previously and even worse in my back. Until you've done it you've no idea! Empathise , hope it gets better soon. You want painkillers heat and neck support 👍🏾, Or in this case none as you've recovered. Just make sure you don't think it's fine and make it worse! Ha

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks for the tip. I kept heat on it for about 6hours and managed to sleep ok. Today it is much better, but not 100% so I won't be doing any backflips soon. 🤙

[@AndyBanner]

I hear what you say about park-ups. A couple of weeks ago, we were egged by a bunch of yobbos in boy-racer cars whilst in Dunwich, Suffolk. Very unnerving having eggs launched at the tin box you're asleep in. I am also looking forward to autumn as I am done with harsh light and blue skies, but I have made the best of them where possible. Your concern about injury is an occupational hazard for anyone who's self-employed in any sector. Pleased your neck is better; must have been a difficult drive home not being able to look left...

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

It's funny you mention the drive; thankfully I only had 2 junctions where I had to look left for the entire drive home. I stayed in the left lane of the motorway and gritted my teeth for ever bump.

[@charliejg]

Cool location! I did prefer the color image of the fern. Just seemed to pop more. Question: Is that because of the full-frame sensor? If the XT-3 was still a standard sensor would it have popped as well? I'm curious because I've seen beautiful images from you using the XT-3. What would be done differently to get that image with it? Have a great week!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

I think it was the lack of sunlight on the fern that made the IR image feel a bit lacking in detail. Also, that 24-70 lens is outstanding.

[@charliejg]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I can understand how awesome glass makes a difference. I recently was asked to shoot HS grad photos for a friend's daughter. I was nervous about it so I rented the Fuji 56mm f1.2. All I can say is OMG WOW about that glass!!

[@JeffandLeslie]

Preferred the Nikon version by far. Not because of camera but to me the vibrant greens of the fresh ferns was the real story of this image.

[@xander1052]

yeah, the Infrared for me needs to the balance of the pitch black skies and such to really make it work, it being bright white just doesn't do it for me quite as good as those vibrant greens where you can see the variations in how how green each part of the fern was.

[@livejames9374]

I’m afraid you had a lemon 24-120. Is the 24-70 ever so slightly sharper? Yes, but only toward corners. If the 24-70 is a 10/10 the 24-120 is a 9.7/10.

Hi Thomas. You happy to go into autumn, well, I am happy to go into spring here in Australia, sick of the cold and wet weather. Yes, I know, photographic way not the best, but when you are not 20, or 30 or even 40 anymore, you need a bit of heat to go out. Great video for the way. About your neck, well, welcome to old age mate. By the way I am not fifty anymore either. 😉

[@Maex__]

I was already wondering in the last videos why you didn't consider the 24-70 f2.8 before. I understand the usefullnes and versatility of the 24-120, but unless you are not making long distance hikes where space and weight of the packback are important, I would always go with the better and sharper lenses. Therefore and since you are traveling relaxed with your van, the 24-70 and 70-200 both f2.8 will provide you outstanding results I would argue.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Totally agree with you, Max. The 24-120 has its place, but not as a permanent member of the bag.

[@paultaylor5513]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto so now you need the 70-200 does that make the whole setup bigger and heavier than the GFX setup?

Tom, for the infrared B&W work, I'd seriously look at using something like SilverEfex to tweak the microcontrast and play about with colour filters - they'll transform infrared images like that fern and I feel gives you more control than Lightroom / Photoshop

[@fraserembrey5676]

[@PaulWilkinson]

Over the last 3 years or so, I've had what I thought was a trapped nerve on quite a few occasions. In February this year, I thought I had it again, however, as the week passed, it got so bad I couldn't move my neck, I couldn't walk more than a few metres and I lost all strength in my left arm. I was diagnosed with bicipital tendinitis. All the muscles running from my neck to my shoulder had fused together. I've had 11 visit's to an osteopath and nearly 5 months of physio. I've got some strength back now and I've about 90% manoeuvrability back but I'm still healing and I've another 6 months or so to go. My point is, if you start to get this every so often, go and see someone. I was told that to get this bad it must have been happening for sometime. It had been, I'd just downplayed it. It's only been the last month I've been able to get back out walking with the camera and a very light bag and I've been back driving for 3 months now. You really don't want to let something underlying floor you and take you out of commission. Take care 👍

[@mm8276352]

So before I let this video cost me 2500 Euros to replace my 24-120/4 with a 24-70/2.8, I went and compared it to the best optics I have within that range, which is the 50/1.2S. And honestly, I can't see a difference, even at 100% or 200%. Not at f/11, and not even at f/4. So I suspect, Thomas, you just have a bad sample, and you should try a different one to sort that out.

[@JeffandLeslie]

Had my camera with a tele lens (Nikon 200-500) on the back seat of my vehicle. I was driving through a local park when a huge buck whitetail deer stepped out in a perfect location for a photo. I reached over my shoulder to grab the camera and felt something unravel in my shoulder. It was a torn muscle in the rotator cuff group. That was about 5 years ago and it still bothers me from time to time and this is after almost a year of physical therapy. Be careful out there Thomas. It just takes one wrong move.

[@jirojiro1029]

I wonder if you put the polarizer on for the fern picture, you can cut back some of the glare or the reflection on the leaves and if that’s going to give you even better results.

[@BWV.1068]

Hi,Thomas, see you have a lot of photos are F11 or F11 above the aperture shot, here I want to remind you, Nikon Z-mount lens design is to meet the future of high pixel body design, in fact, usually the image quality in the F5.6 has reached the peak, F8 after the image quality has begun to decline, so usually I personally will choose between F5.6 to F8 aperture for landscape photography. So if you need more depth of field, I highly recommend using the focus stack to synthesize depth of field, and try to avoid using F8 and smaller apertures, otherwise the diffraction effect will bring about a very obvious degradation of image quality, Nikon has a very good focus stack function, if you know the above information as a little bit of advice, and then is my English is not very good, the above information through the translation The above information is conveyed to you through the translation software, please forgive me if it is difficult to understand, and finally, please allow me to express my love and respect to you, thank you.

[@davegrenier1160]

The color version of the fern does blow away the IR version. But I think the IR version could be salvaged by making it a negative and treating it as if it were a B&W image. Of course, you could do that with the color version too, but starting from the IR may give unusual results because it's not actually a negative of positive image (as would be a real B&W film negative), and isn't being driven by color channels (as can be done with the channel mixer function in the digital realm).

[@lowellprice6351]

The Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens is truly an excellent choice. Of the S lenses I have, it is my favorite.
