One Shoot | 2 Completely Different Images

This was a beautiful morning for landscape photography. Without much of a plan I headed to a local beach for sunrise and came away with 2 completely different images.

Watching these videos back to back, right from the beginning. They take you to another world, Thomas's world. Same is true with the photograph he takes. They both form an inseparable whole. An integrated unit. Great work.

[@timscanlanphotography]

You definitely do have a style Thomas. Not necessarily in terms of your images, but in the way you go about capturing them. It's like being out on the hill/seashore/forest with your mate, having a chat about life etc.and watching them take great photographs. Love the abstract image of sand stripes.

[@outdoorstories]

Thomas, you are the reason that I created my first YT channel ever. I have only 2 videos and none of theme are about photography but Im building up my confidence to stand before a camera and say something meaningful :) Wish me luck, good light everybody

[@ashimshrestha9578]

good for you mate... i am thinking of starting a channel my self. i love hiking, love taking picture and love to share them with others... and good luck to you

[@outdoorstories]

You have best reasons to start a channel, wish you luck too and thanks for encouraging words :)

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Outdoor stories go for it, and good luck👍

[@outdoorstories]

Thank you sensei, I'll try my best :)

[@modernidisident]

Both of the videos are impressive!

[@Sir_Grumpalot]

Ahh. A classic Thomas Heaton video. Calm and with that familiar underlying message of enjoying the outdoors and taking your time over creating your images. Perfect. Thanks Thomas.

[@SolidPureNonsense]

Not having “a style” isn’t something to be worried about. I do everything from long exposure cityscapes to landscape to macro. Changing it up makes it fun! Just keep doing what you love, Thomas!

[@brandonkapana2453]

Living and being an aspiring photographer in Hawaii with so many beaches available i tend to take the simplest compositions fore granted. After watching your recent videos, it's taught me to be more patient and to just take in the moment to appreciate the the little things.. I can honestly say my photography has improved just by doing just this. Thank Thomas. Amazing videos as always.

[@allanmarshall4582]

Love Seascape Photography. Sunrise and sunset on a great beach is very rewarding. You do it well Thomas.

[@petercheuk9019]

One thing that I started to carry with me in an outside pocket of my camera bag is a zip lock sandwich bag with a one meter square of Tyvek sheet inside. Tyvek has the consistency of a heavy construction paper but it is used in construction as a moisture barrier and I use it to lay on the ground before I put my bag down. This way I can keep my bag and my gear dry and even my behind if I need to sit down and nothing is dry. When I'm done I fold it back up and put it back into the sandwich bag, zip it up and back inside the pocket of my bag.

[@JB-ym2yy]

You have the talent to turn almost anything into something "absolutely stunning"! I have learned a lot from you and feel a part of each of your adventures. Keep up the great work.

[@jesusconde4317]

You were not talking rubbish at all. I have never agreed when people give so so much importance to consistency in your style over your creativity and wider range of topics. Never. As you said, for me it is also key keeping myself interested and enjoying photography. Thanks for this lovely video :)

[@heathcee4910]

Two very different images and whilst I really like them both, the sunrise shot wins out. Wonderful!

[@heartlandlight6862]

One of my favorites. One of the best in a long time. Thank you.

[@matthewwilkes6065]

Thanks for introducing me to martin halls music, honestly, just what I need at the moment, easy listening whilst coping with chronic pain. So easy to drift off from it all whilst watching your videos, very therapeutic. Thank you.

[@JamieBulloch1]

great light, juicy clouds, focus stacking is something i must try soon.... magic

[@qqchuchuqq]

I’m really happy to see the second pic. Cause I watch your channel for a really long time. It’s the first pic you take from a different perspective. Most of the time on the beach long exposure/slow shutter speed ,sun ,front element,wide angle and the sun, color of the sky..... it’s not a absolutely stunning pic , but it’s a absolutely another beauty.

[@BrentHall]

Wonderful episode Tom! I really love the contrast between the two images, and I feel your sandy pain, lol.

[@jbinmd]

Thomas, Several questions and a suggestion: • Regarding your filters (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y36lXoKmjLyVbrMm25s), did you place the medium edge such that the graduated part covered the light reflected in the water with the fully dark part starting at the horizon? For the other filter, did you put the hard edge right on the horizon? • Did you consider cropping the picture of the sand (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y36lXoKmjLyVbrMm) such that there was no horizon? It’s an alternative view, more abstract and reminiscent of your recent photo of the Alpine glacier. • Have you used Magic Lantern? It has a focus stacking feature. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZS1h4urmJuMqpY) • I recommend a 1m x 1m sheet of Tyvek, if that’s available in the UK. Put that on the sand and your stuff on it. Bring a plastic bag to hold the sandy folded Tyvek sheet when you leave the site. It won’t be perfect, but it will help. I’ve used a small Tyvek sheet for my “kitchen counter” when backcountry cooking. JB

[@There_and_Back_Again1st]

Thomas, I got to tell you I think the colored photo is my favorite. When you show it for the first time I said out loud WOW! Thanks for inspiring me almost every day, yes I do binge watch your videos.

[@antonoat]

I've been creating photos since before you were born, but I love your enthusiasm, you remind me of myself many years ago when I used to get up at crazy o'clock 'cos I was afraid of missing the light or anything else. All the very best, wish you continued success. Great videos. cheers Tony

[@davidturnbull3950]

The first image is truly beautiful, possibly my favourite one of your images that I have seen so far. It has inspired me to get up early more often to see the sunrise.

[@5ThingsI]

Great to see how to make the most of the environment post sun rise when to sun is low and strong, making good use of what’s on the ground

[@romiemiller2485]

I watch all these videos because they're really fun to watch. They're different than the other videos. My other two favorites are Sean Tucker & The Art of Photography.

[@macronencer]

Thomas, I usually save your videos for when I'm sitting having a cup of tea in the morning before braving the traffic to get to work. They have a calming effect on me! I've watched you since you began, and although my camera doesn't come out much these days (I abandoned time lapse for music and writing), I do still love the outdoors, and watching your videos often reminds me to get out of the house and go for a walk, which is never a bad thing. Sometimes, I even take my camera... thank you for continuing to inspire people.

[@thomaspopple2291]

Hi Thomas, I have a suggestion for you when dealing with sandy beaches or snowy fields. Bring a small collapsible chair that you can put your gear bag on. Will keep the sand and elements off the bag.

[@Apalapse]

I haven't even watched the video, but I know it will be top notch.

[@bradzaruba9686]

I love the simplicity of the second shot. I'm not always too smart at visualizing black and white but this was very nice. Enjoy your trip. Thoroughly enjoy your humor. Until next time....

[@lakhbirsingh4403]

You have style and that style is *Stunning* ;)

[@allenpoulson6203]

Thomas, I love your first image; your foreground and leading lines are superb. I think that you should do something special with this one; perhaps another auction or include it in your next calendar or something else along the same vain. Thanks for sharing it and your morning shoot; you are very inspiring!

[@OImmortal]

Just amazing. Always look forward to your videos Thomas and yet again AMAZING!!!!!!

[@Tinythingsinnature]

"Absolutely stunning" images.......I like your unique composition in every picture its really great.

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

sea scape is always changing and thats why I like it so much, you been rewarded with nice calming morning and great light, Thank you again for another lovely episode, take care!

[@paultrunfull3324]

Well worth getting up for the sunrise Thomas, lov'n the sunrise shot.

[@robertaltic4161]

Hi Thomas, another wonderful vid. The first beach scene is simply beautiful. You are such an inspiration. Best Bob

[@photoholic6369]

Incredible fantastic pictures, both of them !!!!! Unbelievable !!! The music fits to this kind of pictures ! doesn't bother me at all !

[@markjagger7139]

Lovely images Tom. I really struggle with Photographing the beach but I see what you and Paul Johnson have done and I’m going back for more. Thanks to both for the inspiration

[@NadeemZurbaArts]

i've watched a lot of ur video's and this one in particular is so packed with intimate/peaceful creation mix! being out there at the right time & place! Peace,

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

well done Seascapes photography, thus a famous photographer to love. Thank! Thomas....,

[@fakhruzzamanbabu9973]

Thomas, you are really full of inspiration . . God bless you

[@mikemitchell3889]

Tom, The color shot places me in the sky looking down at the, uh sky and a cliff. The mono has a remarkable lack of scale giving it mucho graphic strength. Eclecticity in your approach is dilly, dilly! Thank-You, Mike

[@doris6348]

Thomas you have your unique style! It calls “absolutely gorgeous”! 😃👌🏼

[@caesurastudio]

Whether or not you have a signature "style," I will leave open for others to discuss, but I think what you do certainly have is a consistent and coherent "voice." Which is my way of saying that while your images may vary in their treatment or subject matter, they all very clearly display and evoke the way that you see our world; that is a wonderful thing and a pleasure to view. As always, my friend, great video and beautiful imagery.

[@anthonyhedger4301]

Thank you Thomas, another wonderful video and photos.

[@charlenenagel7962]

I really enjoyed this and the variety between your two photos! And thanks for taking the time to explain about the filter set-up! Very helpful!

[@tomass7952]

Awesome image! Fantastic colours in the sky!

[@taatham8058]

I found you only a couple weeks ago and I must say, I have completely falling in love with your channel and your photography, amazing editing.

[@FadiHage]

Really nice images and video i like them both, the sea and beach I find is always calming. I am always drawn to the beach. Thanks for sharing.

[@dmv483]

Thanks Thomas, I have been pondering (worrying) that I too do not have a style, and have been told by professional photogs that this is a bad thing. I personally like your point of view better, its the variety of images (and styles) that keep me interested. So thanks for putting my mind somewhat at ease.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Lovely little video. I really find a huge value on being able to catch a good diverse set of photos from the same location and moment :)

[@dslmaxe]

Great work, Thomas! A really relaxing film to watch. I also really enjoyed your video about the other landscape photographer's channels and love the collective and non-comprehensive way you (and the others) are interacting among each other and with us followers! It's a movement, for sure.

[@scotty4418]

I would like to think you have a freestyle approach to photography as you deliver so many stunning images across a range of fronts and this is evidenced on this channel and your other social media outlets. This is why you inspire so many people as your variety of images captures so many imaginations

[@richardswift8517]

Loved both of the images

[@jbairdexp]

I really liked this one. Especially the beach therapy at the end. I think adds an extra dimension to the story. I really liked both images, but I really liked the first one. HANG ON...my Lakes video is your suggested video..... thanks Thomas, I really appreciate that. :-)

[@markus4942]

as always, mind freshing and attractively-vlogged. Keep on going. Thanks Thomas!

[@Lsaboteur]

Love your video ! your passion is just beautifull and give me what i need to go out and shoot ! Thanks

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Another great video, I always pick up something of value in your videos. Jason

[@PhotographybySatesh]

I know what you mean about all the sand. I live in Florida and I pretty much focus on seascape photography. You might want to consider a bag that you can take off your back but still hangs on across your hip and swing around to the front. It acts like a table. I’ve gone thru so many bags and I found this style of bag is so convenient and clean when shooting on the beach. I use the lowepro flipside 400AW.

[@bas4360]

That is a great tip! thank you! But what camera strap are you using on your camera whiles walking with the 400AW?? handstrap, neckstrap or camera sling??

[@PhotographybySatesh]

Bas I actually don’t use a camera strap. Bag to tripod.

[@michaelg61420]

That final lick at the end hahahahhaha I'm dying

[@rushworkman3155]

No set style is a good thing. And you have it. You have talent. People often ask me what "kind" of pictures do I take, and I respond, "anything that will stand in front on my lens." You and Kim Grant need to meet on the beach, Canon meets Nikon, and talk about the zen of photography. It would be an interesting, and long video.

[@mlevesque33]

I always enjoy your videos Thomas.

[@therampanthamster]

lovely stuff sir. Always enjoy the tranquility of your visits to the beach!

[@TheTuscaloosa]

I like that you do not have just one style. Makes you much more interesting.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

Thank you so much for producing these excellent videos. I loved my landscape photography: the early mornings, the long hikes in the dark, the discomfort, the frustration made worth it by getting just one good image. Three years ago I got a blood and bone marrow cancer which broke my back, and led to permanent disability and mobility issues so I can't do what I used to do to the same extremes any more. Your videos bring those memories right back and for that I thank you :-)

[@petebergren2402]

Oh man! What a great video and great photos as always! I feel like in your recent vlogs you're just going all out with your photography or you just keep getting better and better and I love it! You have such a great eye and see your compositions so perfect every time. I also love that moment right before you took the first image because you can tell that you were just taking the sunrise in and enjoying it, which is the best part of photography! Thanks again for sharing us yourself! God bless!

[@FishOutdoorColoradoAdventures]

I watch all your videos. Great job. I'm learning alot.

[@swlabr1982]

Good old Cambois. Lovely shots as always

[@hidsvid]

I think you do have a style, which is to be flexible and take pictures the best way depending on the subject and condition. I learn a lot from you!

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

love images, Absolutely stunning!! 👍

[@alinacebula2242]

Great video, always inspiring! Thanks Tom!

[@charliethebubbles]

Really like this video, never taken a sunrise and I've tried taking sand patterns the way you do but fail miserably. Keep the videos coming.

[@Thevikingcam]

Thomas, never ever say sorry about your sponsors. It is the way to keep doing these videos. If someone is offended by it then let them be self centered. Advertisement/sponsors are small price to pay from quality content. Keep em coming, we will look them!!

[@julioestebanperezescudero6246]

I love the music at the beginning it so beautiful! I also admire your pictures, everything worthy take a lot of dedication, you are doing very well indeed!😉

[@nb7524]

Hey Thomas, I love both images. Also, I think it is really great that you do not have a particular style; it keeps your work interesting! I hear other photographers talk about it, but I am so glad that you stay true to who you are as an artist. It is one of the reasons you are my favorite and I am guessing that I am not alone in my opinion.

[@cuneytsarvazlar]

At the end of the video this tongue thing is takes my all silent watching mood and giving some huge laughing voice in my room. Thank you Tom!

[@subjectifobjectif]

Another nice & mellow video.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Yay always look forward to these uploads :)

[@kitsva]

Two beautiful pictures. I think you have a style. It's Heaton style :-). I love it!!

[@brentjones571]

Thank you Tom For your time 😉 lovely video .

[@nomadiclenses5655]

amazing video. Thanks Thomas your videos are very inspiring

[@dangernba]

I'd say your photographs have a strong style, and I like it indeed. Nice video, by the way. Greetings from Brazil.

[@donniewhitaker6267]

You always seem to have these places to yourself. I live on the coast and it's a lucky day when there aren't people and dogs walking by or other photographers our snapping away.

[@allansisson355]

Beautiful job, as always. The beach sand surprised me, I've got to remember to look down. I remember a past video, sand is horrible for filters especially.

[@gstandaert]

Not one of your usual images, the black & white one, but I really like it! Great textures & lines!

[@akashiYT]

You have a style Thomas, even though the two images can seem different, they are both very much your style!

[@DavidDixon]

We all need a bit of beach therapy every now and again 😊

[@isaclagerkvist2419]

Wonderful images!

[@Snowcatnz2]

Great video Thomas , as usual, loved the images. I think it's great that you don't have a set style as that can lead to pedictability and that can soon get boring and uninspirational (if that's even a word), and if there is something you are it's either of those.!! Keep up the great work so can keep inspiring other to see their full potential!!

[@DVJ38er]

Yet another rab jacket :) I ordered the microlight last night actually. I enjoy that you don't have a specific "style". People who do have the same style every photo seem boring and like they are a one trick pony. You show that you can take a good photo under several conditions. I would even challenge you to a new type every so often, like street photography or motor-sports photography! Expand your mind everyone.

[@GilbertTV]

ive got a little behind in watching your videos as my photography has taken a new route in last 6 months.. ive not shot a landscape for a long time but watching this today reminds me why i used to spend hours & hours out & about finding great composistions to shoot..

[@JustinWolffPhotography]

Thank you for always making these inspirational videos! It really makes my week worth it. Keep doing what your doing...and remember to mention your sponsors while out on location..lol. Seriously, Thank you for your channel!

[@Elysianplains]

Great stuff Thomas - You're such a nice guy! 👍🏻

[@Johnny1973IB]

Thomas, Great episode as always. Really enjoyed the images, the first was especially nice, the colors were just amazing. Well done. John.

[@chrissnyder4439]

It's ALWAYS worth it...most of the time

[@romainlorek3293]

Thanks you so much for this. It’s every bit relaxing and inspiring. I very much relate to what you enjoyed about this session

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Lovely images Thomas. I don't do B&W very often but your second shot makes me think I might try to do some more often

[@danparker9382]

Great video Thomas. Don't need to justify what you like! Reeeeeeealy need a wide angle lens, love both shots.

[@dieselmr87]

Great video and smashing pictures ! One thing to put on your Xmas wish list - a tarp. Just roll it up underneath your pack and unfold when you feel the urge to roll about.

[@nigelmorley8092]

With you on the "no particular style" Tom....I do wildlife/landscapes/abstract/"other" !!.. and all improve my photography and i think are complimentary..you can take disciplines from one into another...it's all about composition and light and the end of t'day !

[@ashishs7022]

Amazing as always

[@hellogregory3449]

It would be interesting to hear and see and explanation of the how and why of the way you crop images. I would love to hear your reasoning and approach. Thanks, Gregory
