Landscape Photography from 2600 Meters

Part 2 of my landscape photography and hiking trip in the Swiss Alps. In this video we hike many miles through beautiful, mountainous terrain. We eat wild blueberries and discover the rare spline flower- Edelweiss. After arriving at our mountain hut we turn our focus to photography capturing both sunset and sunrise from the same location.

That first pano of the weather over the sun-lit peaks is just beautiful.

[@stefanweinmann2682]

Hi Thomas, if you're participants agree, it would be really interesting to see the various executions that the group did at one of the locations. You mentioned people had all different compositions at the glacier, some wide angle, some zoomed in. Would be great to see the different images resulting from that.

[@PaoloLunardon]

Agree

[@KyeM2oo9]

Agreed!

[@nomadcompany]

Agree

[@photographingwithcarl8729]

Agree

The hills are alive, with the sound of shutters :-D

[@pradkphotography]

What great music and what great place! Love your videos Tom. Always a pleasure to watch

[@aharshephotography]

absolutely stunning photos from both the videos.

[@NealeGray]

Eidelweiss, you lucky sod! I spent every summer as a kid and a teenager in the alps, looked for it, and never saw it.

[@huexley]

You can find some around Zermat :-)

[@geko9425]

I am wondering if you searched them at the right places. I am meeting edelweiss flowers regularly

[@allansisson355]

Amazing video and great images, with the group and all at the same time.

[@MrPhotog4u]

Glad you had a great opportunity of light. Thanks for sharing

[@martinlaverick460]

Another Fantastic video and just noticed your calendar is now available. Early Christmas treat, and no hesitation in ordering thanks for re-inspiring me to go out searching for new landscape photography pictures.

[@acidsnow5915]

another great video, always interesting as usual thanks for sharing this with us really enjoyed watching this

[@LegoBuildersMOC]

I really liked the clips of you taken from underwater. Cool idea!

[@viktorgnezdilov6331]

Really enjoyed the content and the broll was great ! We have Edelweiss in Bulgaria ... realy rare and beautiful sight

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

You really do have the best job. Thanks for another great video.

[@jaeschol]

Wonderful story from your workshop up there in the Alps. I'm on my own hike through the Alps.

[@telanth]

This place is amazing! Good vidéo Thomas, Thanks!

[@NickTheSpontaneous]

That first shot is one of my favourites of yours Tom :)

[@lifeofgerard]

love it every time he shows the effect of the polarizer :D

[@MHTutorials3D]

Awesome music, great video

[@curiousraj453]

Hi Thomas, I just returned from Alaska this morning and I was on a 5 day trip there. I was blown away by the beauty of the landscape, the Alaskan mountain range, The Talkeetna Mountain Range and Kenai Mountains. First question that popped up in my head was, has Thomas been to Alaska?! And I quickly searched for a youtube video of Alaska, from you. But didn't find anything. I encourage and invite you to visit Alaska and spend a week or two there. You'll love it. It has the best mountain ranges, landscapes, waters, arctic circle, aurora too if you like them. I have never seen anything like that in your videos so far. So it'll be something new I guess for you too.

[@pritambaral9195]

Loved the way you showed your camera settings. Btw how's your new Tripod doing?

[@Chris391971]

Great images as always

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Great scenery, Thank for your sharing video it is good travelling🐰

[@jansiebert9460]

Hi Thomas my buddy!! Awesome Video. You have to be very careful with the berries. You ate the wrong one.... There are 2 different sort of berries. There are the blueberries with the more yellow an longer thinner leaves. And than there are the "Rauschbeere" in German, with the more green round leaves. Rausch means intoxication. There are a bit dangerous because of mushrooms which grow on the plant. They can cause stomach pain and dizziness. The easiest way to keep apart ist the pulp. The blueberries have dark pulp and the Rauschbeere white pulp. I hope you are all good! Hope to meet you someday!

[@TheoWecker]

World class! I love your adventure videos. You're one of the reasons I began my channel and I really appreciate all you do and the inspiration you give me to go and make more videos! Thanks Tom!

[@matthewkrah1567]

It felt like I was there! So calm and peaceful. cheers!

[@johannac.dominguez1917]

Loving the new style of video

[@derekgillan7314]

one of your best videos, thx

[@robcarr1899]

Some beautiful shots Tom. Gorgeous place too. Thanks for sharing your trip.

[@paulus0109]

Great sky in the pano.

[@fernandomontealegre162]

Amazing work, like always! Thank you Tom, you really inspire me a lot.

[@teogaberscek886]

Nice shots Thomas! Cannot wait for next video!

[@vproven]

Beautifully done.

[@the_four_day]

Jonas is in you video, you guys on the same trip that was cool to see! 😃😃

[@alogli]

i've been to the valais region just recently and loved it. can't wait to come back. enjoy your trip!

[@Snowcatnz2]

Awesome location. and some awesome images. Great stuff!!

[@Den9iel]

welcome to Switzerland​!

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

The very beautiful scenery is outstanding! These mountains are stunning and the weather looked to be at your advantage. Thank you for sharing this video log of your trip, looking forward to your further videos of this trip. That cable bridge was unbelievable, what a view you must have had!! Thank You!

[@nitramwin]

Did you hike from Cabane de Louvie to Cabane de Chanrion? Also, is the glacier at 3:50 the glacier d’Otemma which is linked with the glacier d’Arolla? If not, can you share the hiking route?

[@alexandrupastor]

I think it was from Cabane Brunet to Cabane FXB Panossière. 7km distance with an ascent of 608m and a descent of 80m, duration ~3 hours. Here's a link with the hike: www.outdooractive.com/en/hiking-trail/wallis/from-cabane-brunet-to-cabane-fxb-panossiere/25481144/

[@shaundenholm8433]

Such beautiful scenery and more great images for next years calendar. What is the name of the hike and glacier in Switzerland? Heading to the UK and Europe next year and will be looking for beautiful hikes like this one.

[@BenKapurPhotography]

Stunning Thomas. So relaxing to watch. You’re videos make my week. Thank you

[@julieholland9639]

ahhh so thats what edelweiss looks like, great video

[@VALYK29]

I like what you do Thomas, greetings from Romania!

[@ryanmadaris6940]

It's amazing how they can get building material that high in the mountains! Great video, as always.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Hi I agree with a comment I just seen to see all the shots taken around the same time everyone see things different. How is that tripod doing as well

[@NAYANMAC1]

Just awesome

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

Well, crossing those fingers every year must help. Glad you (and the rest) got such lovely conditions. Thanks for sharing yet again buddy.

[@SethPay]

Love the floating camera settings! 😉 I can’t wait to do more vertical stitched panos!

[@mathiaslibor287]

Hey Tom awesome video again. I have been very excited for the video of Switzerland. Your images are just phenomenal. Can you tell me how YOU level your ball head for panoramics?

[@scotty4418]

Amazing images Thomas and if I had any of those images in my camera, I would be a happy person indeed

[@eltinjones4542]

Ditto 👌

[@stefangrip4169]

Stunning sceneries :) Beautiful captures. Thank u

[@kunaltewari8059]

Another great one from the master of landscape photography

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

I liked the sky and clouds in the first two images, then the cloudless sky worked nicely in the morning image. Great video 👍🏻

[@dangernba]

Excellent video, Thomas, and great images as usual. Greetings from Brazil.

[@JavierMedinaImagery]

The flower info was really great. 👍😀

[@randallherreraNyc]

I look around at the people you are guiding.. and see all the different cameras being used.. I don't know what they all are , doesn't matter though, nice to see everyone just doing there thing regardless of gear choice(unlike the internet where it seems like too much arguing about who's is better is so rampant)

[@tjsinva]

That trail and bridge are definitely not for the faint of heart. My legs would turn to rubber. Great scenery and great shots, per usual.

[@thomassch.4110]

Cool that you also included the camera settings 👍📸

[@JackLodge]

Making those mid-week Wednesdays bare-able - looks like an epic trip so far and how amazing is that weather! Thanks Thomas - keep it up!

[@phillrod2]

Missing the drone footage already Tom. That glacier was begging for a top down clip. Still a lovely piece of work though 👌🏻

[@marieta.s]

Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the new tripod.

[@MarkKellyPhotographyUK]

Stunning images and location 👍

[@robertmyers4390]

As usual,,, epic Tom,

[@seenuvasan3810]

A trial in the blue sky at 11.50 min in the video... Nice

[@xJinnqz]

Awesome underwater shot of you skipping the stone! Just the little things like that - the extra effort for a cool shot, that might even go over peoples heads. Love it, keep up the good work

[@johnwillemsz4260]

Just wonderful 👍

[@ScoTreVan]

Nice, very nice Tom

[@martinbuttrick]

Amazing loved it

[@robertwhitemoto]

Cool Bridge! bucket list add: THeat Swiss Alps Photography Tour. 1) Settings... what were your settings. 2) didn't look windy, why the rock weights on the tripod ?? 3) what do you use to stitch your pano shots together?

[@corsogiu]

The simplicity of your photography is stunning, that's what I mean by landscape photography, no need to buy presets or working hours on a raw file.

[@mxsparky]

Fantastic as always. Making me jealous video by video. I will get out traveling one day.

[@davidbertuleit7067]

Hi Thomas, There's also a nice story to be told about the "Edelweiss": In the past, it was common in some regions for a young man to go and pick an Edelweiss for his love, it was seen as a proof of real manhood. I've also heard that sometimes it was the decisive reason if he was allowed to marry someones daughter :D After all, a nice video, keep it up!

[@pablogatgens2348]

Just impressive, it could been nice to capture a panamoric that shows the light in diferentes sets of the sunrise like a kind of progression

[@dr.reysusilo]

Hey man, are you considering to use tilt and shift lens for a pano? What do think bro. Appreciate for what your doing.. 😊😊😊 btw, love your calm pict.

[@MrGionny16]

In italy we call the flower "stella alpina" that means alpine star. Once, when i was a child, i saw a dried flower, belonging to the grandfather of a friend of mine who fought the WW2 on alps. He kept the flower inside his diary during his internation in mauthausen

[@kirstenpacker6703]

I'm a botanist :D thanks so much for filming that awesome plant. I wish I could have been on that hike to take a photograph of it :)

[@charlesgough3528]

Holy crap! That's an awesome shot @6:48!

[@charlesgough3528]

You are killing me with these shots...

[@jesusconde4317]

Beautiful editing 👏👏👏👏👍

[@liamgant9303]

Hi Thomas, I’m new to the channel so apologies if you’ve covered this before. But what shutter release trigger do you use with the 5D mk iv? Or are there any budget shutter releases you, or anyone else can recommend that will do the trick? Thanks

[@ximesiri]

I cannot believe how organized are those trekking places in Switzerland!

[@nickdeletto9568]

You do some awesome work! Keep it up 🤙🏼

[@rolo_061]

Thomas, i would highly recommend you should try to find a way to visit or set up workshop in Nepal. I will guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

[@dennisvanlith]

How did the tripod work for you @thomas? Since you replaced it with the heavier one at home?

[@gunsts]

Nice video!.. Thomas, what is the brand of camera bag insert you use? I tried to find it in your blog, but it seems it's missing somewhere. Thanks.

[@ARJUN735]

great background score ..

[@elmateo487]

Thomas! Great video! But I ALWAYS want to know what focal length you are shooting these panoramas at. And you never say. Maybe next time?

[@denislisul5893]

He just LIKES his breakfast :). Keep it on Thomas, good work man!

[@colinhamiltonphotography5070]

Also looking forward to knowing how you got on with the tripod

[@smedz28]

I see you shoots scenes of snow in a lot of your videos and give the settings but do you ever use exposure compensation? I've read in a few tutorials that you need to use this or the camera tries to expose the snow based on a medium grey colour and the snow loses the whiteness. Is that the case?

[@KyeM2oo9]

Hey Thomas, were you not tempted to try for some astro photography up high away from all the annoying light cast by cities in the UK?

[@douglasladowski6342]

I'm glad Thomas subscribes to the catch and release technique for rocks. LOL

[@dalerobinson8456]

Thomas, when you're on these epic trips would you add some environmental info such as temperature? I found myself wondering how warm it was during the hike and the temps for the sunrise shoot. Great job, also like the floating camera setting info.

[@DHShields]

Just beautiful, one day my videos will be as serene as these. Cheers

[@MrExel47]

Hi Thomas. Whar do you think about panoramic discs? Are they still relevant?

[@zippyjigz1]

Another great video as always! How are you finding the slim benro tripod? Been thinking of grabbing one myself!

[@sunnybrahmbhatt51]

Awesome.

[@guyroberts4181]

Great video Thomas. Is hiking the only way to that lodge? It looks well worth a visit.

[@JonasOldChannel]

Great video Tom, as always! The GoPro videos added more than I expected! And a million thanks for the shout out!

[@tanked189]

Great music

[@tvshowedits1811]

Hi from the uk 🇬🇧 your such an incredible photographer 😊

[@vaunsphotography6820]

Your panoramic view came out pretty good in my opinion.
