Love the intro
Perfect and absolutely honest advices! Thank you
9:17 that picture is incredible ! I'm not good enough in english to tell how it impact me when i saw it !
You're so good !
Another thing ya need to get out as often is to be single.
All I can say is "wow". Okay, "excellent" bar none to any other tutorial. I just subscribed and can't wait for your future tips!
Bloody love this video
Excellent video, very informative. Many thanks.
You're the best man! Just Incredible!
I'm rewatching this video, how do you checkin your tripod in a plane trip?
Fantastic video and extremely helpful, honest and informative. Watched loads of your vids lately! Keep em coming! 📸
Excellent! Thanks
Amazing video Thomas..!!! Thanks.!
Thank you for all you do. As an old 4×5 film photographer who read every word Ansel Adams ever wrote and practiced his art, I find myself in search of a new digital mentor. Your videos are not only helpful, spot on, artistic, beautiful, and fun, they align very well with my own view of image making. Please continue to follow your path and share your journey.
Hardest part is to find the spot! My world is full of grey concrete and dead woods. :/
This was amazing…thanks Thomas!!
Your appeal is born from your genuineness and earnestness. Always inspired by your videos.
I love these videos 😀
Awesome video full of extremely valuable advice! Just wish it had been around when I first got into photography forty-five years ago… Last, but not least, delivered in that inimitable Thomas Heaton style of never taking oneself too seriously and maintaining a far too uncommonly encountered openness to other styles and views of and on photography.
I give you a lot of credit, Thomas!! I find it much easier for me to shoot birds or insects mostly, because landscapes can be rewarding, but also very taxing on your time and requires soooo much patience. Not to mention it’s so hard to keep a marriage when you have to be out at all those tougher times of day for so much time. I am definitely working on all of these things though and trying to develop more patience!!
This is great. I've been subscribing for a few months now, but only just now watched this video after you linked it on your (hilarious) 2018 mean comments video. Thanks!
Another great video! As for the processing, I tend to revert back to my film photography days by getting it right 'on camera', let's face it, we like photography, so why sit in front of a computer 'editing' when we should use that time to shoot? I think some edit images 'just because' even when the image is great and we all know what it's like to over process an image!
Keep up the good work!
100% agreed.
Great Vid!
Something I learned from what you said about composition: learn to know what to throw out of my image, learn to sacrifice
Time to go out and camp this holiday for photos
Holy shit that lighthouse shot with rain in the back, epic af
Brilliant! Thank you!
I went to study 1.5years ago now, and sold my D800e and lesnes to fund it. I missed photography, so I decided to go really cheap and see what I could do with it. Bought a really cheap nex5r, an old 28mm Pentax-M f3.5 (wich is supprisingly sharp between f5.6 -f11), a really cheap ebay ND filter kit, and downloaded capture one express sony edition for free. I use alot more time on planning the subject im shooting, and what time of the day, and I have had so mutch fun, probably more than when I had the D800e.
Very simple video and so much info on it. Really represents the PRO photographer u are.
Hi Tom, I’m new to photography and I’m looking for a good all round lens for landscape photography. Unfortunately, I’m on quite a low budget but would you be able to recommend a good lens for me to start on?
Thank you so much for this video!
Brilliant. Thanks so much for this.
Only just now getting into landscape photography after several years as a wedding photographer. Swapping being surrounded by people to being surrounded by nature, and your information, direction, insights and charismatic demeanor are sure helping. Studying all I can currently and getting together the gear I plan to hit the trails and shores in my own back yard this summer. Ever in New Zealand (currently Auckland) I would be more than happy to put you up Thomas to thank you for your sharing.
Great advice buddy, enjoy the adventure, not just buy the gear, thanks for this!
Have to say this is a very good tutorial. Great Job. Thanks.
This is one of the best videos I ever watched in my life! Thank you so much, your work is amazing! I'm a beginner in this world of lanscape photography and I'm learning watching your videos, you are such an inspirational person. Greetings from Brazil 🙂
But what should I do if I only have up to 600€ as a budget.
Ah but there is one thing to look for in a camera, will it accept the old lenses and if it does you can buy a slue of eBay lenses, cheap and save so much money. I have a Nikon D7500 and can take old "D" AF lenses from my film days (has a drive screw in the lens mount). Sure is nice to use all those old F5 lenses!
No colorgrading as nature already did it.
Thanks. So true.
And unfortunately there are thousands of tutorials showing how to turn mist into glorious sundawn.
This was Fantastic, I would think anyone new to your channel just subscibed.
superb
