    Thomas, this has been an amazing year watching your channel grow week on week. You have shared with us so many magnificent moments and images and to say you have been an inspiration would be an understatement. Today's vlog was no different and to see so much contrast in the mono image was magical. Have a great Christmas with Charlotte and Monty and your family and so looking forward to following you in 2018

    Thomas,
    I really love the last image of the dunes - the sway of light swirling back and forth up the crest of the dunes dividing the sand into two equal but playful sides, carrying the eye upward into the photo as it should be. Thanks for another great vlog and please don’t stop saying “stunning” it’s just who you are.

  • @srmilk4495

    I’ve loved the whole Namibia series and I was in this very spot last November so it brought back wonderful memories. I’m returning in a couple of weeks time and I’m now armed with all the tips you’ve given which have been invaluable. Thank you again for your insight and I look forward to many more videos.

  • @TwoTracksOutdoors
    @TwoTracksOutdoors 6 лет назад

    Thanks, Thomas, for all the wonderful videos this past yr. encompassing extended effort and sometimes much travel to your photographic destination(s). They always make us feel like we are right there with you, almost helping you compose those magnificent shots we see from the warm cozy comfort of our living rooms, while you endure the often extreme temperature and climate extremes in pursuit of that ever elusive perfectly framed photo. One can only imagine the effort required in these desert locations presented here, all the while trying to keep sand out of your wind blown equipment. Very much enjoy your commentary on each and every photo shoot and your reverence for Mother Earth very much shines through as you capture another fleeting moment in time and then, share it with us all. A very Merry X'mas to you and your family as we look forward to your next adventure, wherever it might take you and us.

    Its an art to make something which may not be so obvious into these incredible images. Thanks for all the videos you do simply incredible!!

  • @markharris5771
    @markharris5771 6 лет назад

    For me the videos when you are "in the moment" and you talk about your pure awe of the sights you see are my favourites. You have the ability to take us with you with your passion for your subject and the detailed search for the perfect shot. Your talents go far beyond just knowing when and how to press the shutter. That last image was amazing, almost abstract femininity, it’s one of those images that should be printed as big as possible to almost entirely cove a wall.

  • @LarryManiccia

Tomorrow I'm going to camp for 2 days in Jordan's wadi araba and I'm hoping to shoot similar photos of huge red sand dunes and some wide shots of many smaller white sand dunes that just dissappear in the distance. The information about the aperture was very helpful and the way you evaluate the landscape before shooting is incredible
