    Haha! I can't believe you used that clip at the end 😂 I'm delighted we made the last minute decision to venture out and film in such magical conditions! Great fun!!

      I commented already that this had to be one of my all-time favorite videos from Thomas because of the fun, joy, and wonderful chemistry the two of you have. You should definitely plan on more collabs with him! (I also subscribe to your channel and enjoy your content as well, but this was a great example where 1+1=3.

    I love the throwback to the 90s with the VHS-esque filter! Even have the tracking effects going on... simply well done! Very nostalgic.
    Thomas - you are one of my favorite photographers thus far. I'm inspired by your approach to photographing landscapes. I'm planning on ordering your books soon. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air. The images you capture are fantastic reminders that our world is beautiful, despite being blasted with bonkers on the daily.

    6:00 for all it's worth I think even with the trail it looks beautiful! a little bit of imperfection, a hint that someone walked through there, I think it adds an element of storytelling to the photo, as compared to an untouched landscape

    I love how both of you messed up the foreground snow. I'm glad you decided to clone out your steps and keep that shot. Sometimes, I see you pass up a shot because of some distraction and I yell at my TV just take the shot and see if it's worth fixing!!!

    I actually like the image from the viewfinder before you cloned out the path haha looks like a bit of a leading line towards the second subject. Maybe a bit more chaotic than what you where going for but i think it could work. you ended up with a great image anyways! Really enjoying all the content!

    Simon you have re-awakened my interest in photography. My health has not been good for awhile (I had a day procedure on Friday to replace the battery in my pacemaker}. My oldest daughter baby sat me yesterday afternoon and introduced me to your videos. As a geordie at heart even though we have lived in Canada since 1965 I got your accent in on episode and that tweaked my interest in your work. Having now seen quite a few you have given me a new lease on life and a new way of looking at landscape photography. Thank you so much.

    Thomas, this was really an entertaining and educational video. I love the scene around 14:00 where the two of you were feigning going back and forth about where to focus and the thinking behind your choices. Thank-you for that piece. As a teacher, I appreciate how you put that together in a way that was fun to digest. Have a great week!!

    @SasidharPamganamamula Год назад +3

    Tom, I have to say that your trail in the snow actually adds to the image - it tells a story, adds intrigue, and actually balances the composition (it is a bit left heavy without it).

    • @laillaE
      @laillaE Год назад

    Laughing so hard at the 'no signal' when Simon suggested MPB sponsorship and at the end with the 'ending with the music I've been using the last three years' hahaha.
    I personally liked the trail, but when I looked at your edit, I get why you did it. It gives off a more 'eery' feel (in a good way, can't think of the word atm)..
