Something All Landscape Photographers Must Deal With

[@mrKitke]

I really appreciate that you put the raw files before the edits alongside the final images - gives an idea of the post processing. Much appreciated!

[@jstuempges1985]

I’ve been following you since around 2016. There isn’t a single other photographer/creator out there that inspired me to get out and shoot like you do.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's nice to hear, thanks a lot for letting me know. 👍

[@andrewgonzalez6208]

Agreed

[@krimke881]

I feel, this is the best upload for quite a while. It's familiar, basics, adventurous, grounded, and perfect for a sunday.

[@shainemeister]

In recent days, the amount of AI used to manipulate photos has a tendency to reduce the value of any image taken or the photographer themselves and no longer becomes a representation of natural beauty. I appreciate your transparency with your work and the sincerity of your videos! You are genuine and it says so much about you. Keep it up!

[@cinavik]

Bad weather = great photos

[@krimke881]

It is why I absolutely love everything else than a sunny day. Always hunting the cloudy stormy uneased conditions =]

[@alexflint6408]

You don’t need an angle to get me to watch your videos, I’m quite happy with a simple description of where or what you’re up to. Just seeing the sights and watching how you go about your craft is all I’m after! Cheers

[@doplinger1]

Adam @ First Man went out not long ago and the weather wasn’t too great but he happened to capture the most incredible rainbow shot because he was there! Love your attitude - great reminder to Just Go!

[@jamesbarnes3063]

It is not the perfect day, it is the magic of being there to witness it!

[@PaulMiguelPhotography]

One of the best landscape photography videos I've ever watched. Don't think I've ever seen you so happy and relaxed.

[@Localtraveler2376]

Him not being happy and relaxed is him being happy and relaxed. We all know people like this.

[@natanokros]

Thank you, Thomas, for another great video!! Your enthusiasm and proactivity comes across in truly insipring fashion! :) Thank you for putting in the effort to take us along with you on these exciting trips!! :) Have been enjoying your work for 7 years now :)

[@hamshanksproductions7161]

It's a hard life but a good haircut makes all the difference 😊 Good photos.

[@michael.roberts]

Great message. I often lean towards hockey great Wayne Gretzky’s famous quote, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.”

[@steves3734]

Your simple message at the end is absolute truth! I am not a professional photographer, but it gives me incentive to get out in nature!

[@nb7524]

Hey Thomas, I had a big smile on my face watching you capture those beautiful shots at the summit. I was happy that your efforts paid off😁

[@1958zed]

Love the berries vs. grass image. For the mountains and clouds image, I actually think the zoomed in image shown at 16:25 is better than the wide view of the whole scene. In the wide view, there's no clear subject; in the cropped view, the peak becomes the subject.

[@timrosenburgh8597]

I enjoyed the video as usual Thomas. I really liked the image of the berries, a nice simple shot. You were certainly in the clag on the mountain. I'm glad that you managed to get a few shot which we good. Catch you on the next one.

[@bhikhta]

I first discovered your videos when I was in the 11th (2014) grade, and it was your incredible work that sparked my interest in photography. While it's still a beloved hobby of mine, I haven't yet turned this passion into a side hustle, but I hope to someday. I've learned so much from you over the years, and you continue to be one of my favorite photographers and people. Your creativity, dedication, and genuine spirit inspire me deeply. I have nothing but the utmost love and respect for you. Keep shining, keep inspiring, and may you always have the strength to continue doing what you love. Godspeed.❤

[@Rburg00]

Thank you! And, Thank you for showing your RAW and final versions. I like how subtle but effective your editing is, a lot I’m sure with just taking your time with the composition but still very inspiring.

[@westvirginianlivin9871]

All three are great captures. While the last one put me in awe, the first 2 got my creative juices going.

[@scotty4418]

Totally agree with your closing comments Tom, just get out, everything else that happens is the icing on the cake. Look forward to hearing more next week (the build up has been great) and also finding out what camera you have acquired

[@brentjones571]

This is what I love to watch, out locally enjoying nature with the camera , wonderful 🙂.

[@prandg0]

Thanks!

[@andybamforth]

Yet another one that inspires, lovely images and a great attitude to life. 80% the walk and 20% photography. Just let the image come as you walk. Beautiful.

[@Photos-by-Lloyd]

Love your videos!

[@AstroCampTV]

Maaan, these videos are such a relief from everyday life for those of us who cannot be in the field as much as we could. I’ve been following you for years now and it has not even for the photography itself, but for “hanging out” with you. Hope someday I could, in a photography expedition! 😁 Greetings from Mexico City!

[@Indrakusuma_a]

The second shot is easily my fav shot from this video. The complementary color set and the shape of the fruit and grass, just perfect.

[@michaelgoulding4425]

Great video Thomas, really enjoyed this one

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Glad to hear it!

[@pitts5839]

Your videos are always a highlight of my week, Thomas!

[@christopherharrison3597]

Another fabulous video Thomas. I really like the RAW files at the end , it gives me a benchmark to help with editing my own as I know this is something I must work on. I too did not want to go to the gym at 5am this morning , but as you said get up and go.. get out , go to the gym, go take pictures , go for a walk ... looking forward to next week .

[@adragonphotography]

Totally agree with your end msg. You never know unless you go out. Great pics and look forward to your next vid

[@ViratShah]

Awesome Video Tom! New Camera coming next week! Wooho, hope it is new Z7III?

[@joeyrobertson4926]

Thomas, your determination to capture the scene along with your enthusiasm is contagious. I enjoy your videos…so inspiring! 📷🙏

[@filipepc1992]

Love these moments! It is like storm chasing, but less risky! Great new soundtrack, by the way

[@kkuehne45]

Classic Thomas Heaton! Great video!

[@tim.poirier]

It's all about finding the right "angle" anyone who clicks on your videos is surely going to stick around to watch it, and be better for it!

[@desgardner7169]

I learnt one thing early in life if you are going to present yourself to the public and that is to look tidy and your hair looks good and it makes you look younger than you are! and your photography and thoughts of it was good too, but that can only be expected from you! Thank you I enjoyed this blog....

[@alistairbeavis1536]

I felt like that on Sunday morning. It was dark and rainy as I drove out and even when walking at the location it didn't look promising. But I gave it time and was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. Even when the weather hasn't delivered a beautiful sunrise, it's been worth getting out. Thanks for another inspiring video!

[@tonymckeage1050]

Good Morning from New Zealand! 3:20 beautiful texture, 5:57 stunning colour 16:30 fabulous image, Great Video Thomas, good to know the knee has healed and your Mojo is back

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Many thanks, and yes the knee is feeling great.

[@PlantSeedsOfLove]

Thomas, do you ever feel burnout from doing KZbin videos? Like feeling you want to just focus on the landscape and your photography and not worry about the content video aspect of it?

[@petrub27]

And how's this gonna pay the bills

[@emanuelbief7088]

He’s not!!! Never!!! of course he does like every human in the world

[@GuidoVanDeWater]

There are lots of videos out there where he talks about this. He always says it goes with ups and downs.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

All the time. I just want to take photos and share that. Maybe I'll stop looking for new angles and see how it goes.

[@brucetreloar3200]

​@@ThomasHeatonPhoto well stop! Life has priorities. Photos or KZbin. Only you can decide. The rest of us will survive if we don't get regular uploads.

[@DAVID-kl7fz]

Really good this one Tom, this dose emphasise how much we should just go out , very enjoyable to watch , love the images Brill

[@vijayantsharma9622]

The last one is amazing however, the closing statement to just go out is the icing here. Thanks for the nudge again!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Happy to help!

[@snug001]

I suggest you use the custom settings to use the ok button to zoom at 100% directly to check for sharpness without pushing the +zoom button multiple times :)

[@udayakhadka961]

Love the simplicity of your photographs!!

[@atomikmaster1]

Nice video Thomas ...the music choice was on point as well.

[@joseguimaraes1094]

Great video! I each time I learn a lot from you. Thank's.

[@malhayes4725]

Thanks for the encouragement. The simple composition is ok. It's the adventure of the journey.

[@darrellcope1158]

Fantastic video! Regarding the inversion, there are different types. The type you experienced was due to subsidence (descending air from above) rather than a nocturnal inversion which requires the usual light winds. Subsidence inversions can create Gusty winds if the inversion is right at mountain top level which squeezes the wind between the inversion layer and the top of the mountain. Hope that helps.

[@moshooter]

An idea for a new video for you. You could show us the clothing you use and why. The two tone pants in this one make me think the darker portions may be water resistant at least and waterproof at best. Also it seems they have reinforced knees or may be padded. As a landscape shooter, clothing that keeps you comfortable means you will remain more creative with less distraction caused by weather and terrain. You don't have a clothing links section on your site that I can find. You might consider a links section that shows the advantages of the clothing you have chosen. Thanks!

[@mccoysmedia]

Really love seeing the raw file comparison at the end this time 👍🏻

[@Tagomac]

The mountain image was sublime. Well done for getting out there, a lesson for us all.

[@Jake-vt4ow]

Great video, Thomas. Beautiful photos and worth getting out! Inspiring!

[@gary.kenyon]

Brilliant as always. Fab shots 🙂

[@GeorgeLoch]

If I ever question if it's worth it, I know the question means I should go. Great final image!

[@BrasicOne]

Great video Tom… back to what really pushes your buttons.

[@coffeecuparcade]

I've totally had those shoots. The experience of it was more important than the photo sometimes. But it was always worth the effort! Great video, see ya in a week

[@sharonaxtell6468]

Ohhhhh this video resonates so very, very much! We are just getting back from our vacation in Kananaskis Alberta, Canada, and it rained most of the time, and when I say most, I mean MosT. And it was cold and dreary.... until it wasn't! We were determined to make the best of a soggy situation, and when we emerged from our camp site, the low-lying clouds weaving their way through the mountains left me breathless and seeing potential! Living in Edmonton we don't get to frequent the beauty of the Rocky Mountains as much as we would like, and planning to be there at the right time is almost impossible. But I do have bucket list images (images I have seen plenty of other photogs capture but still want to be able to capture myself) and one of those is capturing the mountains emerging from moody stormy looking clouds. Now the images I did capture aren't epic but I am proud of them, because we took what some may have determined a fruitless situation and turned it into a wonderful experience. Seeing what you were dealing with gives me a sense of comradery (minus the hike).

[@genesis8305]

Great video thank you for sharing we have bad weather most of the time so the struggle is real.

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

That's always been my attitude, Thomas: Just go! You miss 100% of the swings you don't take.

[@josealeman8082]

Thanks for all the hardwork. Questions: can you give the name/ model of your tripod and head?

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I found that video very enjoyable. Jason

[@kencawley3121]

Another great video.

[@Mark-qg7sr]

You have to be in it, to win it.

[@grahamhobbs3501]

Haven't seen a whirligig beetle in ages - what a treat!

[@hooroadproductions8541]

Nice shots and good to see you back fighting the British weather

[@brianbeattyphotography]

gotta love a good cloud inversion!

[@weixinsfilm1760]

great video, inspires me

[@larrybenjamin6768]

Nice images. You can set up the centre button on the D pad to go straight to 100% and then go from frame to frame review using the back thumb wheel.

[@derekwillson2538]

Inspiring...,as always, thank you👍

[@GrandWalkingTours]

i just last week went out to record a video about photography ( for my other channel) and I enjoyed the landscape part of it but I recall from a previous video what you said when your out doing a video about photography the video comes first ... well I took that to heart and still got some nice shots in the end anyway cheers for this love these videos

[@lubos-ro3hy]

Great like always 👌

[@beatfarmerfan]

All great shots Thomas, I really like the contrast in the shot with the berries and grass in the water.👍

[@markjutsum6187]

Great effort Tom - f9 and be there. Well done - MJ

[@wristerkuiling6244]

Just made my website with your sponsor and code. It was a challenge, but i love the result! Keep up the greate work!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@Fotoe]

That one image from up in the clouds would've made the whole weekend worthwhile. Mind you it was a pretty damn good weekend anyway 😉

[@ronp4529]

Crazy how good the audio was considering that wind!

[@Zealor365]

One of your better videos. I like this approach to your presentations.

[@aquaticcolledgefishing]

All your hardwork paying off Thomas. Stunning images 👌

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Many thanks!

[@wednesdaythroughthelens830]

Even with all your travel and experience always that urge “to get the ball rolling”….. that strange feeling inside anyone who likes this hobby/passion

[@davebryer6133]

Love the berries in the water. It reminds me of cranberry harvest.

[@1502Jinx]

Inspiring get up and go video. Thankyou. Can I ask what was the weather app you were getting your info from?

[@melscreativelens]

Great attitude 😀

[@itsMisterNav]

Finally something to watch for my break 😮‍💨

[@seanoreilly6551]

Fortune favours the brave.

[@chrisbryant8317]

That's a fab inversion and a great view. Not being familiar with that view, I think you are on the summit of Dale Head.

[@davothedon]

If im unsure of composition on Nikon , I adjust the framing guidelines in the settings. You can compose with the square aspect ratio, for example, but capture the entire sensor for later revisions or changes of mind.

[@Daniel_Astudillo]

Thanks as always for the motivation, especially when you don't really feel like going out. Hiking related question: saw you were using vivobarefoot tracker esc boots, how are they doing so far? Would you recommend them for Patagonia multi day hikes? Appreciate your answer!

[@class_a]

1:31 Are you allowed to share from which brand the new camera will be?

[@keating_around]

BVS and I started calling it “blue cloud” after not seeing the sky for days in the Faroe Islands.

[@fionahaughton4912]

Brownie points for endurance. I'd have gone for the Back to Bed option 😁

[@steelrivets610]

Hi Thomas, brilliant video thanks. Just a quick question, which weather app do you use? The details you spoke about are hugely supportive so welcome your advice. Cheers. Steve

[@BTurner.]

I’ve enjoyed your videos from far and wide but got to admit I prefer the ones here in the U.K. as I can relate to them and could do similar whereas the exotic ones are just a dream for me that I could never afford.

[@vault-tecrep8565]

Bad weather = clear skies Good weather = storms, high altitude clouds, fog etc

[@phynx2006]

That is a berry 🍒 nice image 😄 , sorry about that, I struggled about typing this comment, hey it made me laugh👍 Peek-a-boo photography in the mountains ....☁😎 overall great images and video, Thank You.

[@julianmcwey866]

Hey just passed you on a motorway in ireland !! 🇮🇪 that was me in the black audi blowing the horn

[@trypersistence]

Thomas, did you know you can set your "OK" center button to zoom into 100% for quick zooming? Helpful tip for you, if not...

[@warfty]

Thomas, I also love the inclusion of the raw files, but would you consider putting the raw files first, and then fading into the edited image? For me, the last impression would then be the wonderful edited file rather than the raw file, and giving a feeling of how an image could be enhanced? Either way love it!!

[@Pengranger]

Fantastic video Tom. Question on ISO… is there a reason, when you used ISO400, that you wouldn’t use ISO500? Thanks.

[@deminmax]

One of your sincere videos. Loved it. F8 and be there :)

[@charltonwilliams]

F8 & Be There!

[@JasonLorette]

New camera? It better be a Nikon! :P What a reward at the top of the mountain, bravo at not getting discouraged!
