Landscape Photography on Film | Woodland Mist Portra 400

[@SuperSilentworld]

It's fantastic to watch your every moment surrounded by nature...this is something I love doing too.

[@drivinghorizons]

05:10 "It's all subjective. Just do what you love" My favourite quote of the day! 👌

[@somethingsomething9753]

This channel is everything that makes youtube great.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Best comment ever.

[@AbhinayWaikar]

Yes exactly and every time i see his video...i feel like be with Thomas that location feel nature and learn everything about landscape photography.. Thank you.

[@julianheritage6436]

What a great comment 👍

[@DOM_4GOOD]

what's KZbin? i thought we were on Thomas heaton's website ;)

[@LT-rb2pk]

Dont see any hot chic in here yet

[@EssoSteve]

“Of course it’s all subjective. Just do what you love.” This is why you are one of the best photographers on KZbin.

[@youknowwho9247]

Portra 400 is a beautiful choice to complement autumn colors.

[@renomanne4274]

Hi Thomas how are you? I have wanted to tell you for a while that what you has been an inspiration to me. Your channel is the 8th wonder of the world in my opinion. My name is Reno Manne and I am a very well known coach...apparently. I have been watching your videos for over a year now. You make the world a better place, you really do. I have become a very enthusiastic photographer again after watching your videos. I had the love of photography since I was a boy but didn't find the inspiration to believe in myself as a photographer, being a famous coach leaves you with an identity if you know what I mean. Watching your videos has given me an inner peace and a direction to follow a hobby again that gives me joy. The joy of nature that has alway been in me, the want to capture natures beauty. Watching your channel has been that inspiration. Your channel is the best I have seen. Thank you for what you do Thomas.

[@MikkoKalavainen]

Oh man all those sounds of the Hasselblad takes me back! That hood popping up, the latch on the film back... I miss that camera! Even the bloody plate that never wanted to go back in!

[@magnusa.5599]

this reminds me to not take the mental shortcut „lanscape = wide angle“, but rather use that 150 next time to work out those details. thank you for that, thomas!

[@valmarifoto]

I like the last photo the most. Colors are just superb.

[@sunnyrockvictor373]

Love the last image

[@bearlysure]

I agree, the colors were so subtle and unique.

[@absolute1020]

I really appreciate your perspective and recipe of a great image, less clarity less vibrance less saturation less contrast , can't agree more. I also appreciate you would shoot in a day like this because most photographers only shoot at sunny days, magic hours, something like that. to me, misty , foggy , rainy days are part of the nature as well.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Beautiful morning indeed!

[@thefullmonte1902]

Great composition and mood in the first few seconds of the video with the misty forest and bluish tint.

[@Black3ternity]

Ah great. Another Video from Thomas - Time to switch from watching on the small display while doing stuff to kicking back with a coffee and watching the video on the big screen.

[@vblakely]

There is something calming about watching the set up of loading the film, setting up the tripod, mounting the camera, metering, and firing the shutter all in the still quietness of the woods. I really enjoyed the video and your photography journey.

[@knownas6217]

Portra is probably my favorite all time colour film.

[@mikejankowski6321]

I really liked that last shot. Its clarity, thanks to no mist, suited it well. Typical lovely video all around.

[@AlexBerger]

Very zen today! Perfect watch on a Saturday morning.

[@astralbody]

That is a good recipe, be it film or digital. Beautiful shots. Mists are magical to say the least. Colors, textures, mist and subtle light...I'd say that woodland was the perfect place to be on that day. :) Definitely have had to "eliminate things" with no choice in the comp also, Photoshop and Bob's your uncle!. That Pylons in the mist is really nice. making something unattractive, attractive, nice! Liken the lichen!

[@ZingyLemonade]

Good old Thrunton. Great for a run with the dog. Some nice twisted older trees around Callaly crag and Hob's nick .

[@sturmgold]

I can't thank you enough for your videos ♡ I discovered your channel about one month ago and it's not only interesting and beautiful to watch for me as a photographer, it also helps calming me down because I suffer from a general anxiety dissorder and panic attacks.

[@TheLazlo1985]

Really enjoyed how you opened up this video. Felt like I’d stepped into those woods with you for a couple of minutes. Great work as always Thomas

[@rajasekaransundaramravi288]

just grab coffee on a rainy day, while watching tom videos. best combo ever. -

[@switscream8372]

Honestly, your videos are all so peaceful and satisfying, that it cures my anxiety. Everytime I see a new one pop up on my feed, it brightens my day. Thanks a lot for that Thomas. Looking forward to many more brightened days!

[@durand101]

This was, is my opinion, the best series of images you've ever shot! In awe of every single one!

[@tanltdowar]

15 people had watched this video when I started and 336 by the time I finished. Great video and very instructional as always.

[@will9357]

I think the last shot was better for not having had more fog. There was enough mist there to give the forest a lot of depth, but the minimal amount of it allowed for quite a colorful image. Well done!

[@maxencelemoine4190]

portra 400 is the swiss army knife of film photographers ! Great work as usual ! Unfortunately in my country, way too many hunters in the woods during this part of the year, too dangerous to go there and shoot. Even during lockdown, shops are closed, people can't go outside more than 1h, and have to stay in a 1km radius area, but hunters are allowed to go into the woods... anyway, not the point of the video but, even though woodland photography is not my favorite kind, I would love to go out and shoot some fall colors

[@davidenchine1540]

Thomas every video that you making is a million dollar 💵🥰📸👍

[@diannejiminez122]

You even make power lines look beautiful!

[@Blue_Newt_01]

What a beautiful woodland. Really enjoyed this video. Your images are sublime. And the clip of the friesian horse at the end was an extra special treat.

[@yvonnemiller2136]

Whenever my mojo is waning, especially this year... I just watch your videos and I'm reinvigorated once again 😊

[@tedsmith_photography]

I think all the images shown had a great look. I quite agree with the reasoning for using Portra in light of the intended look you were after. It would have been between either that, or Ektar for me, which of course is a nice middle ground between Portra and Velvia, in respect to contrast\vibrance\saturation. You must be a better people person than me for sure...whenever I am out with Blad and folks pass me, they never invite me to take their picture! They look at me like some kind of weirdo!!

[@trouwfotomakerij]

00:15 It's been many, *many* years since I shot film, (silence kids, grandpa is telling stories :-) ) but there was always that mix of excitement and 'fear' when you opened the package of a new roll of film. Carefully pulling out the strip of film, juuuust enough to fit on the winding spool, so with some luck you would manage to squeeze not 36, but 37 or sometimes even 38 exposures out of it... Closing the back of the camera and then hoping you did it right and the film wouldn't slip off the spool without you knowing it... Yeah, all that came back when I saw Thomas load that roll of film in the camera :-)

[@roiloubia4483]

Excellent job Thomas..I just wished you have added the metering process in these misty conditions..said that, thank you for sharing your experiences..

[@Interspieder]

Thomas, your pictures hit my taste on point this time. Goosebumps. Thanks.

[@markattardo]

What a great way to start the day.

[@abelsz4407]

You are mainly responsible for my style in photography. Not that I have a developed and matured style, but your photos contributed to it the most. I'm not a person, who watches every single one of your videos, but a long time viewer, who always comes back for some inspiration every once in a while. Don't change a single thing about your photography, I love your work.

[@AdhishMajumdar]

Loved the video. The colors of the trees, the ethereal mist, and the sounds of the mechanical film camera rarely heard these days. Thank you!

[@julianheritage6436]

Loving your local lockdown videos Thomas. Found your comments really insightful, especially using square crop to help simplify the image, great stuff sir 👍

[@paullengyell9057]

Thanks for taking me with you on your adventures. They are so much fun.

[@hiruprod]

Your videos give me such an inner peace and make me just feel comfortable.

[@extremelydave]

I for one, would like one video to be of nothing but a slideshow of Thomas's woodland pictures. A "chillout" video to relieve the stress of being a victim of quarantining......

[@grahamelvidge896]

Loved the photos Thomas, you certainly have a good eye for nice shots, have been watching a lot of your videos for a while now, and one thing I have learnt from you is to slow down and actually look at a scene properly, and look for a good composition and not just click away

[@MacShootsFilm]

Man. So pumped you're shooting so much film lately. Amazing images!

[@NPJensen]

Absolutely love the second image with the nice background colours. Keeping it simple really works.

[@robertmitchell668]

Fantasy imagines as always. 📷

[@neildeathridge2985]

Right good one again, never give up what your doing we love you

[@jimrookphotos]

Hey Thomas, I appreciated your short discussion of how you desire the muted colors and how you alter settings in LR. One gets so ingrained in routine at times that sublte changes in processing are missed. Thanks for the reminder and tip. Jim

[@Light_Camera_Story]

So peaceful to watch.

[@RobbyPedrica]

Peaceful.

[@franciscodomenech1142]

Impresionantes fotografías. Enhorabuena Thomas. Saludos desde España.

[@JayGrapherBKK]

very simple video, yet so beautiful collection of shots and wonderful colors. do hope after shooting maybe various of film types you can share more thoughts on your thoughts of each film, though you might already have in previous videos.

[@TheTrueDemand]

These are the types of videos I love to watch.

[@vyrnmn]

Great video, as always. I love just zoning out to your calming voice and great images.

[@alexandros-markovits]

One has to love those Portra 400 colors! That first image especially is insanely good! One of your best in my opinion 😃

[@ItsEzlan]

That first shot made me buy 5 Rolls of Porta 400 ready for my week off next week! incredible shot so simple so minimalistic

[@joeschlicht]

Love that first image. It would be interesting to see it in black and white as well.

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

I remember having to do this when there was no alternative and initially had no inclination to going back but who knows! Great blog as always

[@erikedlund8455]

Started to photograph woodland myself because of you. Big inspiration!

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

really really fantastic , amazing photos I like so very much congratulations

[@-grey]

Real nice to see such beautiful shots in an aesthetic which is the complete opposite that I go for. I love colour and crunch in overcast, wet conditions, but portra looks really nice here.

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Catching up with the videos Thomas. Loving your film shoots. Inspired to dig our my old OM10 and maybe asking for a Mamiya 645 from Santa. Still the best channel on you tube. Keep creating .

[@cameronsmith169]

Love that photo of the pilons in the mist that came out so well

[@brentthompson6718]

Liked. Also I received my calendar and your book! Love your channel, pleased to support it.

[@lenefischer3773]

Thank you Thomas, I think I will go into the woods tomorrow to get some nice foggy images...

[@Sarmor1985]

Great start of the video. I thought you were gonna go for another ASMR type video, but what a nice surprise. And these shots man ! Great morning indeed !!

[@abhayrege8509]

your compositions are awesome... good work

[@tomhughes5123]

always a pleasure Tom

[@00Skyfox]

I love the foggy dawn setting of this video. Times and places like that are so gorgeous :D

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

ahhh the ever elusive conditions we all dream of :-) enjoyed the adventure , damn that fog moved fast tho !!

[@sehorobin]

Really enjoy watching you take shots on the hasselblad. It looks like a joy to use, it's making want one....proper analogue! 👍

[@0xander_]

First time here! I love it 🇷🇴😊

[@DesertOryx]

Hello Thomas, I rather be short with youtube comments but this might become a long one, I hope its getting read regardless. I love when you go out in your local forests because they look very similar to the small wood areas I visit every day. I am actually not into wood photography naturally but b/c of my dog thats how it is at the moment. It is motivating to see you taking so beautiful pictures in those sometimes "trashy" (chaotic and not really nice...) forests. Sometimes I have to remind myself that my pictures are not bad just because they are not as good as yours. I think in generell really nice wood images are a very difficult task. I had sensational fog today and unlike your place the fog sometimes stays here the whole day (!!) - I would have loved to give you the fog I had today I am sure you would have done portfolio stuff with it ;) I at least was able to use it for an hour, so better than nothing. And btw I love that you shot film! I shot digital and a little bit of film (because I cannot afford film (€€€) regularely). I think your recent pictures with the medium film camera have sensationel depth (looks so 3D!), i love it and I am a little bit jealous ;) So keep up the good job and stay true Kevin from Tecklenburger Land Germany

[@AmpedGaming404]

I've always enjoyed your content, but as a film enthusiast, I get even MORE excited when you release a new video using your Hasselblad :). Thanks for the awesome video!

[@theopincemin7597]

I prefer wildlife photography but you have inspired me to get into landscape photography. Love watching your videos!!

[@TheRealJimmyLundy]

Another great video. Sorry for the gear question but I did review your gear list, but didn't see a gimbal or slider long enough to perform this scene. 5:23

[@danrdgreen]

I must say I love the idea of shooting film again, I've really enjoyed these videos.

[@phynx2006]

Pretty sure Skylum's AI Software can add some nice mist for you, among other things🤣🤣🤣 taking away the excitement and euphoria of catching the exact right moment in the field, imo🤗 FYI a big thumbs up👍

[@CHRISTOPH-B]

What a fantastic video! Especially the first two minutes. Love the atmosphere and the pictures!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@harrisoncable5885]

I would have definitely chosen provia for the mist but they turned out good for portra

[@isaiahherve]

Your videos are the highlight of my week, usually watch them right away at work to cheer me up lol. Always such beautiful photos, and always give me inspiration to go out and hike for some photography after a week of exhausting work😅 thank you

[@christianpatton1852]

A wonderful video and some wonderful pictures on film really enjoyed this !

[@nickminderman7380]

Loving all these close to home videos. So simple and inspirational.

[@KevinOutdoors]

I really liked the silent intro. That setting didn't need music. I would title that first one "Absolutely Beech".

[@Leffe49]

The first shot in the mist was adorable! 👌

[@sportsshooter2574]

Hi Thomas, as you said the last few videos ( 7-8 episodes) are shooting trees. Time to change the subject soon. Nice video as usual

[@chuckhaaser884]

Thomas, I thought the last image was the best. Loved the colors and soft muted look of the film. It was beautiful.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Vlog, Challenging but wonderful location, Brilliant images, I think these images are among the best for a while, it just goes to show you don't need to travel far to take great images

[@extx]

I ordered your book and calendar and they should be arriving tomorrow! I can't wait!

[@jimmygrant4183]

The blue in that opening shot looks so cool! Bravo Thomas!

[@williammiller7328]

Love this! Excellent woodland photography.

[@AbhinayWaikar]

I just open youtube app and thought of watching one of your video and there you are with new video. Such wonderful location and the pictures you take are always awesome..

[@johnleftwich650]

Great woodlands images. I too, tend to like somewhat muted colors.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

A lot of Euro forests are nothing but that green moss. The licken was a treat.

[@adss70]

Your videography and story telling is absolutely beautiful; the reason I keep coming back to watch your vlogs. Ps. Photography is also great of course :D

[@steventaylor1649]

Went to my local woods with my Hassie on Sunday ...shot a roll of Portra 160 and a roll of Velvia 50 to experiment and really see the difference ...they’re being developed and having watched your video I am now super looking forward to the results !! Great video Thomas ...keep the analogue content coming !

[@dudefromsa]

Awesome content Thomas ...really enjoy your channel

[@timothydutoit7066]

Honestly love this channel

[@MsPrucka]

This video is making me wanna pull out my Mamma's hand me down Zenit from the cupboard and try it :) Fantastic video and photos as always.

[@RoderickWeelen]

Great video as always, Thomas. I don't understand why anybody would dislike video's like these. If you don't like it, just stop watching and go somewhere else, it ain't that hard. *edit: I have the feeling that I can still see where the post was in that image with the pylons, but just might be me (NEED COFFEE), would have loved to have seen a before/after shot.
