Hi Thomas, great choice the 400 mm with great pictures. A great idea to go on a photo tour with minimal equipment. I think it sharpens the photographic eye even more and I often didn't need a lot of equipment. Well done! ICM is very interesting!
Hi Christian! Glad you liked the photos. It makes you think. Do we really need to pack our camera bags full with lenses on every occasion. Maybe not. I'm definitely going to pack lighter more often. And as you said: it makes us see things that we otherwise may have overlooked. Have a great week! 😀
Well, that was a fun challenge with some great results. I like abstract shots but I'm not always keen on ICM. Yours were good though and not an unidentifiable smudgy mess like some I've seen! The one at 11:05 was really pretty with the way it sparkled.
Great video, Thomas. I love the 24-200mm as that is my usual go to lens for hiking as I can get most of the shot I want with 90% of the sharpness but it is great to challenge yourself with just one lens and if a prime even better. I would certainly call your outing a success as you took some brilliant shots. Again great stuff 👏🏻👏🏻
A succes Thomas! Always good to challenge yourself. My fav is the 70-200. Can you tell where these shots have been taken? I might go there as well when I'm in the area, looks stunning!
Hi there! The 70-200 is my favorite aswell! The mountain is called "Gussiberget" in the outskirts of Ljusne. Next location was Ålsjön natur reserve, close to Söderhamn. :)
I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your videos. I've watched a few so far, and the weather has mostly been misty, cloudy sky, soft light due to that without much directional light and not much colour contrast like sunrise, sunset, blue sky afternoon, blue hour etc. Interesting for me. I'm from Bulgaria where there is a lot of sunshine and sunrise and sunset opportunities. But I live in England from 10 years, and the sky here is overcast most of the time. So I appreciate the differences this brings and can relate like that to your videos. I was quite happy when I saw the blue sky at sunrise in this video. I was wondering what other pictures you would have taken with your other lenses. I would love to see more videos of you in weather conditions and colours like in this video. I would also love to see astrophotography from you. Anyways, keep up the good work. See you soon in the next video.
Hi Daniel! Welcome to my channel! It's true. A clear blue sky does not happen very often where I live. Also I tend to avoid those days for photography. But with the succes I had on this day I might have to reevaluate that. There is always a shot. Regardless of the conditions. Have a great week Daniel and thank you for watching! :)
That was definitely a success! I absolutely love your ICM shots, especially that group of 3 together. Very well done. We received a Christmas card this year from a cousin of mine and her husband. He is a professional videographer/audio technician/photographer. He's worked on many Canadian television shows and so on. The card they sent this year was of one of his photos of a group of trees over a snowy trail and he used ICM. It's a beautiful shot. And now seeing your work I'm going to have to give this a try and see if I can get anything worth keeping. I'll start at 1/10 and go from there.
@@ThomasRaskPhoto I tried a few shots with the trees in the backyard but there's too many distracting elements like the house, the fence etc. I kept one shot which I kind of like but it needs more in the scene.
Great video! The rising sun stunning. The ICM not my idea! If film used, definitely a big no-no! So cold! Get that here in Toronto! Tak-Tak.Bravo!
Thank you Jason! Hehe film and ICM might cost a lot of money. :)
Great pictures! You definitely made the right choice.
Thank you very much! :) It was a fun photo challenge. :)

Nice decision Thomas. 8:22 is great, also 11.10. Keep going 💪
Thank you very much Volker! I can't wait to get back out there with my camera! :)
Fun video Thomas ! :) It's so nice to see the sun again for the first time in a while :D
Thank you Kenneth! Yes, it was nice with sunny weather. In just a few days we are going to get like +2 Celsius. That's a little bit strange. :)

Thank you Juanita! I felt the same way about ICM. But I have given it a lot of thought. And, as you said, there are diffrent ways too do it. :)
Fina bilder!
Tackar tackar! :)
Thank you, always success when you ask yourself what if and discover new things.👍
You are right about that! 😀
Success! I will try it too😊
It's a fun thing to do! It makes you more creative. :)

Thank you Andy! I have had my eyes on that 24-200 for a long time. Maybe some day I will buy it. Great to hear that you enjoy using it. :)

Nice. I though you were going to choose the 24 -70 😄 Great photos with the 400 👍
Thank you very much Stig! :)

Great videography too!! I only got three lens. As cold as it was there, no problems with your lens?
Thank you Bill! No, everything worked great. I have had problems with my Z6 in the cold. But not this time.

Thank you Mike! It's a very interesting style of photography. I love abstract photos. I hope you post your shots on FB! :) Have a great week!
@@ThomasRaskPhoto Yes, I'll definitely post them. I'm not sure when but it will happen :)
Have fun out there! :)
