How Did I Struggle So Much in This Landscape?

  • I should have done so much better with my landscape photography in this location. It was stunning, dramatic and full of potential, yet I struggled to convey any of that in my landscape photography and I left feeling disappointed with most of my landscape images. My wildlife images though, left me feeling excited and thirsty for more. Thank you to MPB for sponsoring this video. Buy, Sell & Trade Your Gear: bit.ly/3A5UKSs

    I see all the great landscape and thinks, panorama. Not a dedicated series, a wide flex of shoots that can cropped, combined and edited to taste back at home, as you can seemingly are overwhelmed by raw and beautiful landscape of that are remote location.

    TIL: "Blowing a hooley!" I'm going to use that one. New t-shirt slogan: "Rocks, mountains, sky, oh my!" Good stuff. There was a whole lot of smiling going on. I had a "not a wildlife photog" moment in Maui last month when I had great timing catching a humpback leaping out of the water only to have it end up out of focus. Yours are much better ;-) Thank you for taking us along!

    I find when I am excited about a shot in the field, it rarely impresses me when I get home, while a photo walk that feels disappointing at the time often leads to a few 'sleeper hits' when I get them home.

    A thoroughly enjoyable trip for us! I know that feeling of disappointment, however I think your stellar collection of Arctic Fox images are something to be really proud of. The ones in the previous episode showing the snow whipping past tell a beautiful story about the brutal environment. Then your wide angle shot this week gives the landscape context. After seeing your Arctic Fox images I find it hard to imagine a landscape image on its own being able to convey as much.

    I just watched your video about Hornstrandir and I was blown away by the stunning images you captured. Your ability to convey the rugged beauty and untamed wilderness of this remote Icelandic region is truly remarkable.
    As a fellow photographer, I know how challenging it can be to capture the essence of a place and tell a visual story through your images. But you have a real talent for it, and I think it's important to recognize and celebrate that.
    Your passion for photography and dedication to your craft is truly inspiring. Watching your videos and seeing your photos always motivates me to push myself harder and strive for excellence in my own work.
    Thank you for sharing your art with the world, and for being such a positive influence on the photography community. I look forward to following your journey and continuing to be inspired by your incredible work.

    Hey Thomas! Don’t beat yourself up for not finding the angle you would want to find during your adventure. I was in iceland 2 weeks ago and sometimes I found it also genuinely difficult to capture the beauty that is right in front of us. Sometimes it is a mixture of being at the right place at the right time. All that matters in the end is your experience capturing that shot and your story behind it. Don’t overthink your shots and go for it

    I really enjoyed the last 2 videos Tom , the diversity of that landscape leaves a lot to get your head around , nothing to see and yet you produce content that we as your followers love to see , you have to make the best of the situation and personally I think that you achieved this , from your determination to capture that mountain range , no electricity , no toilets to speak of , I could go on and on, but to me you are one of the top photographers in the U.K. , and your vlogs are not to shabby either 😊 , roll on next Wednesday

    Thomas, for what it's worth, I enjoyed following along with your adventure. When I'm faced with bleak monochrome winter landscapes, I usually turn to black and white and try to get creative with high key and low key edits. Some work, some do not some are just train wracks. Coming from a background in wildlife photography, I enjoyed the fox footage.
