What's nice about your videos is that you stay yourself. You do not like the photo you took, people would have said anyway: wow it's great. But no, you do not want to show it because you are not satisfied with it. And that's just fine. What's is great is that you explain why, why you do not want to follow the 'pressure' of the trend of social medias, as you said and give some contents. Again, telling what equipment was given by companies, and saying you do not want to finish your video with a dull image is just you. And that's why I (we) like your videos. Thanks Thomas, do not change ;)

I think you're at home when you're out there alone. With all these people around on such a tourist spot you're not at ease, and you have a hard time finding an image. Maybe the next time when you feel stressed, discomfort, out of balance, out of rhythm and out of place make a photo about these dissonant feelings.

I don't watch your videos with the main purpose to see gorgeous images. I watch because I like to hear your thoughts about landscape photography, and to hear you share your thoughts about a half bad image was great for me - totally something I can relate to. Looking forward to more videos from you. On a sidenote: I would very much like to know, why you use a full frame camera instead of a smaller one or maybe even a Pentax K1 medium format. It seems to me a smaller camera like maybe the new Olympus E-M1 II would make an easier travel partner and at the same time still be able to get you high resolution results. And the Pentax medium format is almost the same form factor as your Canon but has all the benefits of a larger sensor. Just curious on your thoughts - really not out looking to start a big debate on gear!
@ThomasHeatonPhoto8 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment, which is very encouraging. With regards to full frame etc, for me bigger is better. The image quality of a larger sensor is why I shoot full frame rather than cropped. The Pentaxt K-1 looks amazing, but it's not MF. I almost bought a 645Z, but the salesman was so incredibly rude & the camera was too heavy, so I put my credit card away. I would love a MF Mirrorless camera, such as the Fujifilm GFX50, but it isn't cheap. I have also just invested in a 4x5 film camera, which should yield some incredible results!! The digital camera market is a mine field & even I get confused & lost when it comes to upgrading kit, which is why I stick with what I know. Perhaps I will make a change soon, who knows. I have yet to commit to a new camera to replace my 5DIII.
@bogrunberger8 жыл бұрын
You're completely right - I mistook the K-1 for the 645Z! I work with communications and mostly shoot people, events and such for my articles, but I've begun to dabble in landscape photography - mainly because of your videos. I have an Olympus E-M5 (micro 4/3), but it's getting old, and I'm considering my next camera. I'm shifting back and forth between staying with micro 4/3 and get the new E-M1 mark II which is very portable can shoot 50 mpixel RAW and 18 fps w. cont.autufocus and then maybe a Sony A7 of some sort with that larger sensor. I can't figure out which would work out better for me, and it's driving my wife nuts because I talk about it a lot, and she's the only one here to listen! Regarding this minefield of new digital cameras and formats you mention. Aren't you worried about the future of DSLR with new and better mirrorless versions popping up? I imagine you have a lot of high quality lenses for the Canon system. On the other hand, you could of course just use the lenses on a mirrorless with an adapter if you decided to switch sometime in the future.
@ThomasHeatonPhoto8 жыл бұрын
I'm not worried about the future of any kit. It's all just a tool and I shall roll with the times. I'd double check the E-M1II fact sheet, I've never heard of a 4/3 camera shooting 50mpixels.
@bogrunberger8 жыл бұрын
I have no doubt about that. I've always liked that you have a traditional and practical take on photography. The E-M1 II has a 20 mpixel sensor, but actually has a cool feature where it moves the sensor around and combines a lot of images into one. It can't be used for handheld shooting with moving objects, but it should be very good for landscapes or product photography. I would really like it for shooting portraits too, if my subjects can sit still a bit. It would be really awesome for when we make large posters.
@TheCameraLens7 жыл бұрын
The 50mp mode composes 8 or so photos into one image. I have it in my E-M5ii and it works well in ideal conditions. Thats the key word. If your subject moves it can cause odd little mismatches which can be seen upon close inspection. I would say if you're buying the camera for that feature alone, full frame or otherwise might be a better choice. However, it has it's other benefits, portability being a huge one.
@BenHorne8 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the plug Thomas, and I can very much relate to your process of staring at the scene for a while and trying to figure out how to photograph it. I've done a LOT of that on the East side. Angels Landing is one of those places that is an absolute blast to hike, but it's difficult for photos to do it justice. When the light IS very good, I would be very hesitate to do the hike just because I wouldn't want to be up there in the dark. I finally looked at my film from my trip, and I have some photos that I'm very happy with, but others simply fall on their face. Since I end up sharing every photo I take via the film reveal videos, I figure even a bad photo is worth sharing because there is a lesson behind it. Those photos are shown in the videos, but never shared on social media. Where it gets confusing is if there is a photo I absolutely hate, yet everyone else seems to think it's good. Then I don't know what to think.

I watch your channel because of your passion for photography, the venture you go through to get the photo you are looking for, the story you tell the reason you are taking this photograph and the fact you are happy with the photo. Everything is subjective when it comes to a photograph one person may look at it and love it the next person may shrug their shoulders and say not bad but they aren't you and if you're not happy then what is the point of presenting a photo to the people who follow you, the day you start compromising your photography is the day you might as well stop doing the youtube channel because at that point you become like so many others that just settle for the sake of content and the sake of followers the channel and the photography are about what makes you happy.

I agree Thomas, That final image has the same problems that most of my 'i'm hiking hoping to get a picture maybe' photos. it is a technically good photo, but it is flat or lacks that special something that makes it an artistically good photo, or a photo I'm happy with. Trying to get good photos when I have someone else hiking with me is also difficult because I always feel like I'm holding them up. My best photos are taken when I either go alone or tell them to go on without me once I've found my 'spot'.

Welcome to my neck of the woods! I enjoyed this video very much, seeing you face the same challenges I face shooting in this area. From trying to find the composition in all the texture, to trying to find someplace that isn't too touristy, to dealing with cockleburs in your socks it just gave me so much delight. It's amazing how difficult it is to capture the depth you see from those canyon vistas. Obviously the mid-day light will make them look more flat, but even in ideal lighting they never quite seem to capture the feeling of depth you have when you're standing there. I think it is caused by a lack of mid-ground elements; you can have close-up interest and then you have distant cliffs, but in the mid-ground you only have air. Trying to capture the perspective of space falling away from you takes a lot of creativity.

I am so excited! I'm going to Zion for the first time in a couple months! Taking 2 weeks off, my friend is setting up his RV as a base camp in Moab, and we will be exploring all over Utah from there!

I'm sure someone has already mentioned it but you do have wifi so you can view your composition on your phone and even take the photo from there too. I love my 5D4!
