Landscape Photography | When the Light Happens

The light in Patagonia can be truly special and on this occasion we were not disappointed. We photographed sunset and sunrise just outside of El Chalten in Argentina. The plan was to photograph Fitzroy, however it seems that this was the only spot not glowing in glorious light. My favourite image was a panorama of a mountain range to the south, a truly beautiful moment.

[@damoninlr]

Hilarious... :-D

[@tuvaaq]

Can we try that one again Mitchell, only this time leave your pack on!!!

[@MitchellCoyle]

Neil Hunter nahhh the backpack was too heavy to carry up that hill

[@sharronferreira6420]

Good sport Mitchell!

[@sh8736]

Hope you signed a model release form and get a cut of sales on the image 😀

[@EJGetz]

Nothing is better when conditions are changing minute by minute,..beats sitting and waiting,.. thanks all for the excitement and shots..

[@romiemiller7876]

That light is fine for the mood it creates. It's great.

[@macronencer]

'Phenomenal' is the new 'stunning'! :) Great to see everyone having such a wonderful time.

[@dennissteul5445]

Who in their right mind would not have enjoyed that video? Absolutely magnificent.

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

Headless chickens, high on light! Love it 😀 What beauty! Thanks for sharing!

[@gabriellefox5724]

I love how everyone was helping to guard the camera from the wind ✌

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

What amazing light on the mountains

[@HenryPiffpaff]

"When the landscape's not working for you, you work for it (maybe, I dunno)" - that should become a thing! :D

[@jurgencornelissen8565]

man... that panorama... that light

[@newenglandlight8724]

I can really relate to the intoxicating feeling of being somewhere amazing, and then having nature cooperate at the same time! Awesome panoramic!

[@TiagoNascimento1]

Sir Thomas Heaton, I’m a fan from Brazil living in Argentina and I’m writing just to tell how much I appreciate your videos. These Patagonia’s videos in special as they are being a delicious revival of the trip that I did two months ago for the same region photographing the very same location that you are showing here. Please continue producing these amazing contents and inspiring us to live a better life!

[@PMCN53]

In the words of Thomas Heaton....ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Your excitement is palpable!!

[@christopherwood1668]

That first shot with the dude on the hill, it was such a Chris Eyre-Walker shot. Absolutely fantastic! Adds such a great story to the image.

[@delhunter7530]

Just...... WOW.

[@aadyachidanand75]

I'm crying 😭 this is so BEAUTIFUL it hurts! AHHHHHHH

[@avinash-pawar]

The best thing about Photographs is Even though we will never go there And never see the same thing again It's like capturing the soul into picture I just only can imagine how beautiful that scenery was!!

[@placerinoporteno3544]

Great video! I'm a Chilean guy living in Europe for the past 34 years now. The way you describe your experience over there makes me cry!! After all this is my dream you are experiencing. It gives me so much envy that you are living it. After shooting beautiful pictures and then finishing the day eating Empanadas! Hahaha glorious! Great job!

[@maxencelemoine4190]

the lights and the colors are just superbe !!! Thank you !!!

[@AndyBeattieUK]

What's a Cornish Pasty? Classic! 😀 Crackin shot at 8:40 👍

[@MrShuaiGuy]

LMAO

[@Andy_Thomas]

Kind of like an empinada, apparently

[@Jimages_uk]

@4:10 You really nailed what I love so much about photography, of course it is great if I get something captured in my camera, but just the fact I'm out there is why I love it.

[@rasicaphoto6450]

At the mention of El Chalten, always recall the incredible photos of Max Rive!

[@PSTUTORIALSTV]

Great video Thomas, Thank you for taking us on your journey, beautiful place, I will be doing more travelling on my channel this year, I am very excited to share my journey with everyone

[@carolinestone4527]

I have to second the comment that you are my favorite landscape photographer.

[@johnsmith1474]

Looks like the cats who marched off to seek out something away from the roadside did the right thing and they get some exercise. That rang from that road in that light probably exists in endless versions. Always enjoy the stories. I'd love weather numbers, time/temp wind direction perhaps the long lat.

[@ceilihmcgrady4125]

The mountain range with that light is ridiculous! Love the team work there of helping to shelter some ones camera with an open coat. :)

[@TAHendriks1]

It’s just absolutely fenomenal stunning.

[@kearress7350]

This channel only gets better and better!!!

[@thecreativelifeoflee5533]

Love your impression of Brendan Van Son! Too Funny!

[@christoph3222]

Oh boy, Patagonia. There's just no other place like it!

[@robcarr1899]

STUNNING SHOTS. Beautiful. Thanks Tom.

[@craigrobson1032]

Thank you for the vlog and showing us that wonderful view of the mountains! It just is!!! Awesome pictures Tom! 👍cheers

[@gcarmichael]

What a superb video! Your ability to keep the group focused and engaged is something not many can do. I look forward to your next video.

[@ninacleven7889]

Cornish pasty, you're making my mouth water! Love them. Interesting video and beautiful images as usual.

[@leachimkiveling]

Killer Video from Mitch, the energetic kid.

[@stuartwatson745]

Tom, it’s obviously a good group, you are looking like you’re having a great time!

[@snarkishly]

Oh wow, phenomenal light!

[@zippyjigz1]

What a stunning moment when you get light like that, great shots mate "absolutely stunning" 😉📷

[@darioiacopi6369]

Thank you for showing and telling your experience in Patagonia ... I like it

[@justoalejandrogonzalez5097]

Argentinian here... been there for two months working as an assistant in the national park. Ironically enough I wasn't into cameras when I lived there so... opportunity wasted. Love the channel, and lovely video about what I think is the most beautiful region in Argentina. Keep the amazing work.

[@stefandietmann5120]

The panoramic looks absolutely awesome!

[@danieldurrani2744]

Gives me inspiration to take winter photograph of Mt Wellington.

[@sharronferreira6420]

Oh wow!

[@JeanLucCoulon]

Wow! I've seen Thomas getting a picture hand held !

[@davidburn9472]

So much enthusiasm packed into 12 minutes! Light & conditions looked epic!

[@ryangallagher3235]

Great to see several images in a single video. This is more in line with how I shoot when conditions are ideal in such epic scenery. I usually aim for three or four unique shots in a session. Excellent video, thanks for sharing!

[@stevebanks484]

Just to say Happy Birthday Thomas. Looks as though you're having an amazing time in Patagonia. So jealous!

[@timzegstroo]

aaaah you're a tease Thomas. We want more of Patagonia!

[@wendyarthur3941]

Wow! Amazing images. What a beautiful place. I love your excitement and enthusiasm. I have to say that I miss hearing you say "absolutely stunning".

[@MarkKellyPhotographyUK]

What amazing/stunning scenes and images......beautiful 👍

[@DavidJohnstonPhoto]

Dude this b roll has such positive vibes! I'm loving it!

[@gregsnell]

David Johnston cheers!! :)

[@jesperlindqvist3318]

Mountains! Mountains Gandalf!!

[@noelenehazell8454]

I don’t know much about Patagonia, but all of a sudden I want to go 👏😍

[@WhyTheFace88]

This video is absolutely stunning !

[@samvholt]

I sincerely hope you introduced that fella to the engineering excellence that is the humble Cornish pasty. Great video man, lovely stuff

[@boblim1549]

Stunning. Lovely apt soundtrack too.

[@photoyorks]

Looks like great fun and some great shots too.

[@andyroye5622]

Breathtaking photos wow

[@jrwilfred]

*When your 70-200 becomes your main lens* lol Lovely video Thomas

[@thomwilliams1527]

Thomas, Brendan and Greg! Thank you for the beautiful, informative and entertaining Vlogs from Patagonia! Good on ya MATES!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thom Williams Thanks a lot, more to come👍

[@leewolfe]

Tom, I think perhaps the best part of this video (and really, the best part is from 00:00 to 11:17, it's just a great vid overall) is the fact that, for the first time that I can recall, you ran around like a chicken with your head cut off, crazily trying to grab every photo, beckoned by the beguiling, changing light! I loved that! Because, that's me! Unlike your usual, calm-Tom M.O., I haven't often managed the discipline of sticking with a composition. Suddenly it's better there, then there, then there... And often I miss everything, the old composition, and the "better" one which I'm desperately trying to set up for and catch. Of course, you caught a bunch of them - maybe some day I'll have the expereince and technique. But it was SO great seeing you caught up in the moment(s) of awesomeness, excited and invited by it. Loved it!

[@Topsyrm]

Great shots Tom and another winning video.

[@808islandlife_HI]

Beautiful! Love the music and b roll in this one.

[@lucastan3037]

8:40 SO AMAZING

[@shamuvoodoo]

I would say that the rough start on day one has been washed away with pure magic of photos of mountains covered in fire and ice. Wonderful to see! Also it was excellent to see the image of the lone photographer on a hill with the fantastic mountains in the background. Awesome to say the least. thank you for sharing.

[@myriampro4973]

You really enjoyed your first trip to South America, it seems. And we really enjoyed your videos. Come back soon!

[@er1038]

Great vid! Loved how excited y'all got when the sky started exploding on y'all. Sometimes you just have to lose yourself and have fun when trying to capture these shots. Cheers brother

[@arielarias9074]

Argentinean here, and following you since a time already. Nice to see you in our Patagonia, I hope you really enjoy it

[@sunnyrockvictor373]

Wow wow wow what an amazing place to shoot with truly stunning results you lucky lucky people.

[@bradzaruba9686]

I love it when the humor pops out. Lovely images! I'm sure all had a great day.

[@guadalupe_rodriguez]

Beautiful mountains. Thanks for sharing

[@pablobarros7182]

absolutely amazing!

[@BrendanvanSon]

I still haven't left Patagonia and I already miss this trip! Awesome video as usual, buddy!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Brendan van Son What's a Cornish pasty? Haha. Agreed, I miss it too.

[@BrendanvanSon]

Haha. My favorite moment of the vlog for sure.

[@alextsogias9219]

You guys make a great combo! Really loved your shot with Mitchell in the red jacket - even though you are a master in fine art landscape its good to see that Brendan has inspired you with his travel style! :-)

[@ximesiri]

Next time a road trip through Ruta 40, testing Argentinian Cornish pastry 🤪

[@richardreisenauer4142]

Brendan van Son o

[@meredithpottery]

Spectacular video and photography. Thank you so much. I bet you have increased the tourist trade in Argentina and Chili immeasurably! Gotta get there!

[@Andrew_marr]

Tom, great video mate! You seemed to be getting some amazing light over the last couple of days. Patagonia is served up such incredible conditions for the tour group, everyone must be so happy with what they’ve captured some far. The pano of the mountain range was wonderful, stunning colours. I hope to get there one day! 👍

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Andrew Marr Thanks, yes we were all grateful for the weather we had. It's a beautiful part of the world.

[@photografiaaustralis2131]

Awesome vlog, great company and magical imagery...Greg

[@gregsnell]

Photografia Australis Cheers!!! :)

[@paulbaumann1]

Awesome video, this is super cool to see new lands from a photographer's perspective

[@RS.Outdoors]

What a stunning morning and lovely location.

[@PaoloPeli]

Amazing panoramic shots Tomas, tnx for your great video 👍

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Unreal conditions.. super shots as per usual Tom.. the addition of Greg’s B-Roll is great , fair play for end carding Mitchel !! Bravo everyone

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Darren J Spoonley Photography Thanks a lot👍

[@Silverginger]

Raising the bar of the "man-walking -with -camera-bag" in slo-mo.

[@CristiNeagu]

I need to remember this if I ever get a photo opportunity like the one you had with that mountain with the sun in the background. Take a first photo, exposing for the clouds. Then cover the sun with your hand to prevent light bleed as much as possible, and take a second photo exposing for the road and mountain. Combine in Photoshop, see what comes out.

[@Khajakkodian]

Beautiful video. Thanks Thomas.

[@williamcoggins8336]

The pano might be my favorite image of yours. Keep up the amazing work!

[@tomgreen8225]

Another great video Thomas. You're by far my favourite landscape photographer on youtube

[@paultaylor5513]

For me he's second only to BvS.

[@transllator]

the most iconic mountain in patagonia, and probably one of the most iconic in the word, is Torres del Paine.

[@MHTutorials3D]

That B roll..... man oh man...... WHO is that guy and why doesn't he have 10 million subscribers ?

[@Colmkeating15]

Mike Hermes Greg snell. Check out his channel

[@Colmkeating15]

Mike Hermes I think tom mentioned him in the last vid

[@gregsnell]

Mike Hermes :) I hear he’s a nice guy too!!

[@lousnookman]

Been watching your channel now for a bit of time. I am thrilled to see you and others in Patagonia. Definitely a bucket list item for me to go and visit. Between your channel and some of the others on KZbin my experience has gone thru the roof in no time. Thank you so much for keeping me inspired. One day I hope to meet you in person.

[@tonyturner7676]

Beautiful images, especially the panoramas. Sounds like a great time being had by all.

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Ironic! Hiding from the wind behind Pumba! Great shots looks a fantastic trip!

[@BitcoinBuccaneerBridger]

Wow, with that b-roll, music and video editing this brought me back to my youth...it was like a dream! Great video Tom, I look forward to your video's the most here on KZbin because you're video quality and editing are getting better and better all the time, and you tell a story with no façade plus I always learn a thing or two. Keep up the good work!

[@gregsnell]

Another amazing video mate!! Can’t believe the Cornish Pastry question made it in :) Love the Mitchell’s too. Jajaja!! Ohh that super sexy B-roll too 😆

[@peteetheridge82]

"What's a Cornish pasty?" LMAO! When two cultures collide...!

[@crazycurtis28]

Awesome images! Loved that last one of the mountain on fire! I wish I could join you on one of these workshops.

[@wigglerise]

Awesome. What a location, and you didn't even have to walk anywhere.

[@brentjones571]

Patagonia looks amazing 🙂

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Thank you! Great tips for making things better for you. I have learned so much! :)

[@stefandietmann5120]

I had a cornish pasty, and they are awesome!

[@asimeshpal]
