I Flew All the Way to Canada for Photography

Having felt a little blue recently, an invite to Canada was the perfect way to cheer me up. I flew from Newcastle to Calgary to indulge in some landscape photography with a group of friends and fellow photographers. This is day one of my trip where we photographed Lake Abraham in the Rockies.

I said to my boyfriend in my most accurate Heaton accent, "Guess which of our favourite UK photographers are here in Canada?" And he said back in his best Heaton, "THOMAS?!" Hahaha we love that you're here, love your videos Thomas! We love your photography skills, but truly appreciate your personality/humour. :)

Thomas you're so full of energy on this trip. Thanks for taking us along!

[@chhansen]

Fantastic video! This one really captures (with your enthusiasm) the thrills of landscape photography, which includes the excitement of travel to location, the breathtaking scenery, moments of reflective serenity, unexpected spontaneous captures (i.e. ice bubbles), the satisfaction of capturing at least a few great photos, and the camaraderie with like-minded photographers. Truly enjoyable content!

[@bio7021]

Some really lush images 👍 Can't wait for the rest of the Rockies videos 😁🏔

You made it... perfect location, 2 stop graduated filter, no squarespace, and three times “absolutely gorgeous”. Perfectly balanced...

[@davidthompsoncountry9550]

So glad you enjoyed it. You took some great shots. Abraham Lake is a wonder, all year round. The blue in the summer is amazing, and yet the lake is so clear in the winter. We love it out here. #dtcountry
