@@ginaherold For real, I initially thought he was going to wake up earlier to go and snatch the tripod before Mads. The "rival" talk sounded like a prank was coming!
so refreshing to see your use of the SQUAre & Panorama.... I had to laugh at your shout-out to Square Space in the rain... Have you you made a video on how to protect your gear in the rain? Thank you
I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the Canarian Photo Week and I just need to say one thing here. Those type of workshops and events are not cheap, but spending time with a fabulous group of joyful people united by a passion to explore, create and wake up at 5:30 morning after morning to enjoy beautiful locations and learn with amazing. humble, professionals like Mads and Thomas is priceless and just fills with infinite amounts of energy and inspiration. Huge thanks to you Thomas and all the organisers and participants!
Great comment Grzegorz K.G.! What improves your photography more? Buying a new $6000.00 body, a $2500.00 lens or spend the cash traveling & a workshop. Traveling and workshops are so much fun (oh I do like new camera bodies and lenses as well lol.) Cheer's from Vancouver Canada
Thomas Heaton, rain god...rain clouds follow him around because they love him so much😁🤣...at least it can result in some interesting photography Love the images, especially the first. All are great though. ❤️📷
Absolutely love that second shot. The close up of the dunes and the bushes. There is something other worldly about it and it is full of interesting shapes, colours and light. Great work!
Hilarious moment of you talking about Mads as a “rival” given how much respect you have of each other! Was a pleasure spending a few days with you in Lanzarote.
Hey, Brother! That second picture you took, of the little green bushes, might be one of my favorite pictures you've ever taken. Its alien-like strangeness and color contrasts is just amazing! What an amazing opportunity.
I want to Share my feelings with you sir.. I have been watching your video for about 3-4 years. There is something different about your videos. If I keep watching, I keep watching. I love your videos. It's so inspiring. You will always inspire me like this. I wish you all the best... Love from Assam India 🇮🇳🙏🏻
The most impressive part of this video was your one-take promo read in the driving rain. 😆 Despite your shyness, you're a very good conference speaker. I attended the one you did in Virginia a few years ago, when you had no voice on day 2. Your Day 1 presentation was well worth the trip for me and I took your words to heart. When you said it was still a good idea to start a RUclips photography channel, despite increasing market saturation, I decided to do it. It's made me a better photographer, even if I never approach your level of success or skill. So, don't sell yourself short.
We’re off to Lanzarote soon for three weeks. Walking,caving,photography and of course some sunshine. Wonderful island. We went last year and the island had had a lot of rainfall and I’ve never seen the island so green as plants and flowers burst through after the rain. Thanks Tom I enjoy your videos.
Great video Thomas! I also love the second shot. I was in Lazarote as well just 1 week ago but with wife and kid, so could not spend much time on photography. I was able to shoot ~5 rolls of film, can't wait for the developing.
Man I would like to see that last shot in color, the warm orange light was just so unique, it looks like the colors you will see being in a different planet, like a science fiction scene. It makes those colors, texture and cracks pop like crazy.
Great work , and i get the mud cracks i really do , i thouhg the water in them might have made for a interesting concept , if they are full just ful and not overflowing , a closeup shot of droplets hitting the water or reflections might be interesting , to be honest my landscape has gone down a bit lately , just more working on my channel i think ill get out there soon with my gear again
That's a first: A sponsor shout-out video in the rain! Hope Square Space appreciates it. Mud cracks, I'll bet Ben Horne is jealous! Tremendous location and images, thank you!
Great to see you and Mads on a video together, two of the finest photographers that I have the absolute pleasure in watching. Loved that mud image and also your abstract image from the day before Thomas and again a good example that it doesn't always have to be vista images when the scene is tempting you to put on the wide angle lens
Oh and one more thing. Best thing I've learned there: landscape photography is HARD and EVERYONE takes some bad photos. It rarely just, "arrive, obvious shot, snap, epic picture"; it's about persistence, constant curiosity, and most importantly being on location and being aware, not just about the obvious, but about a myriad of small scenes that can unravel around you
Great video Tom! Was so good to finally meet you in person and getting to learn live on location 😊 you did well to be civilised with your competitor Mads 🤣😋
Hey Tom, just wanted to let you know that your books arrived to me safely in the US last week. Also just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to sign both of volumes for me! It was a lovely surprise and thanks again for all the wonderful content over the years!
Beautiful images as always, Thomas. I've been to Lanzarote at the end of last year, of course without Your opportunities with Timanfaya, But I took a nerve-racking busride in the Parc like everynormalbudy on the island , with some great views of craters and lava-channels and all the good stuff. Enjoy Your stay
That first closeup was F'in incredible! Sunset, sunset, sunset, blah, blah, Blah, been there, done that, wearing the t-shirt tomorrow! Mud cracks...who knew. To quote Rihanna, Umbrella ella ella!
Oh these mud cracks are such a treat, I like a lot the photo you made. This is indeed a fantastic place, you're all so lucky for the time you had there to explore and enjoy this gorgeous park, even under the rain, it wouldn't be fun otherwise. Thanks for bringing us along! Cheers!
Great photos Thomas!! And so funny this adventure about the search of Mad's tripod. I think that we couldn't enjoy Timanfaya in all it's magnificence... In any case I'm very satisfied with my results. It was a pleasure to share these days with you an the other workmates and assistants. Regards!!
Lanzarote, what a place! I went when I was a kid and I have vivid memories of it feeling like a totally different planet. I recently went to Tenerife and got some of my best shots of last year, so we can say for sure the Canary islands are a gem for photography.
Love mudcracks. Got some around me, Tom. You need to come over this year. The light on your "cracks" was stunning. Made it look like mercury (or similar). Great video.
Brilliant shots. Love the second shot from outer space. ❤❤❤❤ My tripod could write a book about being abandoned. Happened so many times. 😂😂😂 You and Mads are my dream team. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Found some mud cracks in a farm yard the other day. 😮😮😮
I wasn't sure at first Tom, to be honest, which of those images I preferred, but I agree with you. I think your Pano is much more inspiring. There just more to it!
Some people like vibrant images some subdued, that's why we ask get the freedom to like what we want. It's just that often times what we as individuals find most appealing isn't what the people were watching on these RUclips channels are photographing. It didn't mean that the photographer is right and the viewer is wrong or vice versa is just subjective viewpoints from our own personal aesthetic.
Always great when you have a one sided conversation with the audience, there could be more, it's just so engaging. Thank you for taking the sunset photo as well, it might be too much, but I love the colour, and yes, that 2nd shot is so fab.
Looks like a great location there. Reminds me of the Atacama Desert in Chile. I'm usually a lover of the more dramatic conditions but think I preferred your softer images.
Wow! Totally awesome to see you and Mads together. You 2 are who makes me look forward to Wednesday nights. Of course i got a triple treat since Gavin posted today too.
I have a hard time deciding for the second bush shot or the mud shot to be my fav in this video. Both are just amazing on its own. And yes, I agree with you that your more subdue pano shot is better than the vibrant sunset. The light was certainly amazing, but somehow it's too overwhelming.
Saw an IG story from Mads where you were sitting at the award show and shaked your head at him filming you, I wasn’t sure if it was for fun or not ;) glad it was for fun 😄
I go with the first shot of the day, Thomas. Colours and shapes were delightful. I am mad also as I agree with you about the sound shots, super abstracts!
Your videos are my absolute favorites - you always find something quite unique. The second image (@3:04) is incredible and the first question that popped into my mind was how you were able to take a picture from a different planet? The imaginary sky above the sand dunes added a great sense of interstellar wonder. The mud crack was a wonderful find and good of Mads to share it with you. Thanks again for bringing us along on a great day of discovery!
Seeing as you asked, I think I would have cropped a lot off the bottom of the sunset shot, to prevent the top line of the mountains cutting across the middle of the photo. Great shot though
HAHAHAHA! I don't even know what to say, that was SO funny! 😂
Love this crossover 🤣
Fantastic cameo and a wonderful plot twist! Those mud cracks were freaking gorgeous 🤩
That second image is incredible, Tom!
@@ginaherold For real, I initially thought he was going to wake up earlier to go and snatch the tripod before Mads. The "rival" talk sounded like a prank was coming!
10:05 pointing the camera at the mud with a rainbow in the background
classic

I was blown away by the black and white mud cracks. Utterly fantastic.
I do love the mud cracks shot and the panorama. The colours were glorious!!!
Thomas Heaton, rain god...rain clouds follow him around because they love him so much😁🤣...at least it can result in some interesting photography
Love the images, especially the first. All are great though. ❤️📷
Absolutely love that second shot. The close up of the dunes and the bushes. There is something other worldly about it and it is full of interesting shapes, colours and light. Great work!
Agree! One could describe as (inter)stellar image :)
@@LUKASILDZAsk likewise.... it was stellar...
yes, it really is amazing :)
thanks for teaching us at CPW. it was a pleasure to have met you in person
After watching Mads with James Popsys and Nigel Danson here he is with Thomas... he's a well connected man. 😄
First image is so-so and the second image with the tele is spectacular.
Hilarious moment of you talking about Mads as a “rival” given how much respect you have of each other! Was a pleasure spending a few days with you in Lanzarote.
Love the close up (2nd) image. That green pops! Also agree, the quieter image is really nice
»It is always worth looking at a bigger landscape in more detail!«
What a great saying!
I also preferred the quiet image! The mud cracks... OMG, just beautiful.
I've been dying to photograph this island. Someday...maybe. Thanks Tom for the experience. :)
Hey, Brother! That second picture you took, of the little green bushes, might be one of my favorite pictures you've ever taken. Its alien-like strangeness and color contrasts is just amazing! What an amazing opportunity.
I'm with you as far as picking what to images to make. The world gives us unimaginable beauty.
Love the dried cracked mud! It sound crazy to travel to such a remot elocation to photograph "Dried Cracked MUD!" but it worked! Have fun!
I want to Share my feelings with you sir.. I have been watching your video for about 3-4 years. There is something different about your videos. If I keep watching, I keep watching.

What a cracking couple of locations. I just love those stormy skies!
We’re off to Lanzarote soon for three weeks. Walking,caving,photography and of course some sunshine. Wonderful island. We went last year and the island had had a lot of rainfall and I’ve never seen the island so green as plants and flowers burst through after the rain. Thanks Tom I enjoy your videos.
When I lived there I always found it the funniest thing that it got greener in 'winter' :P
That pano at 5:33 is very Heatonesque and, might I suggest, magnifique! Grand stuff mate. 😃
Great video Thomas! I also love the second shot. I was in Lazarote as well just 1 week ago but with wife and kid, so could not spend much time on photography. I was able to shoot ~5 rolls of film, can't wait for the developing.
That second image was fantastic !!-Thomas.
Man I would like to see that last shot in color, the warm orange light was just so unique, it looks like the colors you will see being in a different planet, like a science fiction scene. It makes those colors, texture and cracks pop like crazy.
Love the mud Crack image...molten silver, in black and white❤
The second abstract detail picture looks like something out of space, what a picture! Hope you have enjoyed the photo week and the teaching!
Super job Pal !! The subtle light first shot was my winner !!
Wow - absolutely love the B&W mud cracks 👏👏
Loved the drama of the sun bursting through the clouds. Never be fearful of a bit of drama.
Great work , and i get the mud cracks i really do , i thouhg the water in them might have made for a interesting concept , if they are full just ful and not overflowing , a closeup shot of droplets hitting the water or reflections might be interesting , to be honest my landscape has gone down a bit lately , just more working on my channel i think ill get out there soon with my gear again

Nice video my friend , thank you for sharing , have a wonderful day big like!!
I really enjoy seeing you and Mads working together. I follow you all separate and it’s nice to see videos where you all come together .
Think I agree with you, I like the morning scene better than the crazy sunset! Looks like a great trip!
The mud cracks were worth the early start. Definitely the most enjoyable image.
The dawn image is the winner for me
Great video Tom! Was so good to finally meet you in person and getting to learn live on location 😊 you did well to be civilised with your competitor Mads 🤣😋
Woahh the second pic is awesome it looks like it’s from outer space
The mud cracks mad for the best image of the video.
at 9:42 the mud cracks gave leading lines type effect. I was hoping you would have taken that as well. But yes, loved that last one!
I liked the overall look of the panoramic photo, but I actually liked the sun bursting through cloud one more. So glad you got it.

Absolutely LOVED the pano and the mud cracks. What a fascinating location. Superb video as usual, great work!!
Dos grandes de la fotografía en un paraje maravilloso, gracias por visitar lanzarote. Un saludo desde muy cerca.. Gran Canaria.!! 📸👌
The second image made me think of a close-up shot of a very fancy chocolate dessert.
That first closeup was F'in incredible! Sunset, sunset, sunset, blah, blah, Blah, been there, done that, wearing the t-shirt tomorrow! Mud cracks...who knew. To quote Rihanna, Umbrella ella ella!
Nice video. BTW your book came in yesterday. Really nice. Thanks
Very good video Thomas
Oh these mud cracks are such a treat, I like a lot the photo you made. This is indeed a fantastic place, you're all so lucky for the time you had there to explore and enjoy this gorgeous park, even under the rain, it wouldn't be fun otherwise.

Love the storm cell

Great video and photos as usual - loved the end of the video as you calmly pitched your sponsor in pouring rain.. :-)
The mud image is magnificent
Love the mud cracks...try not to get so wet next time Tom. 👍
I wasn't sure at first Tom, to be honest, which of those images I preferred, but I agree with you. I think your Pano is much more inspiring. There just more to it!

I like the first one of the sunrise more. The lit volcanic rim draws my vision to it like a bullseye.
The first image for sure!
Always great when you have a one sided conversation with the audience, there could be more, it's just so engaging. Thank you for taking the sunset photo as well, it might be too much, but I love the colour, and yes, that 2nd shot is so fab.
Looks like a great location there. Reminds me of the Atacama Desert in Chile. I'm usually a lover of the more dramatic conditions but think I preferred your softer images.
It’s nice to see different landscapes and lanzarote definitely has some other worldly landscapes. Nice video tom 👍
Wow! Totally awesome to see you and Mads together. You 2 are who makes me look forward to Wednesday nights. Of course i got a triple treat since Gavin posted today too.
Left 100% 4:45 6:00 golden moment, I'd be freaking out
I've been round there on the 14km coach road, but would have loved to get off for half an hour.
I have a hard time deciding for the second bush shot or the mud shot to be my fav in this video. Both are just amazing on its own. And yes, I agree with you that your more subdue pano shot is better than the vibrant sunset. The light was certainly amazing, but somehow it's too overwhelming.
WOW, the black sand photo!
Love it Tom!!! Been there myself, out of this world!!!
That second shot is a stunner.
Thank you. 👍📷😎
hi Thomas, landscape is out of this world... amazing
What can I say just stunning
Nice to see you again Thomas, missed your video last week, I guess because you were away. Hope you had a great time and the teaching went well
wonderfull panaromic
That cloud pano was awesome, my favourite
Such energy levels!!! Is it genetic or food or adrenaline or genuine enthusiasm whatever well deserved applause applause
Cameo Mads - love it. And that second shot took my breath away. Literally!!
Saw an IG story from Mads where you were sitting at the award show and shaked your head at him filming you, I wasn’t sure if it was for fun or not ;) glad it was for fun 😄
The mud cracks made the shoot Thomas 👍
"why does it always rain on me" song should be the theme song for your channel Tom.. oh and i liked the sunset image
Second photo and the mud are ace
I went there in 2017 but definitely didn't get those shots off. Really enjoyed this one, Thomas!
Thomas, the pano was brilliant but the mud shot for me steals the show, fantastic stuff as always, thanks for sharing.
I'm probably one of the few who preferred the vomit sunrise shot, despite my minimalistic tendencies. Very dramatic. Enjoyable video as always.
Thanks for another entertaining video
I love the first "close up" pic. The bushes look like clouds above the lava sand... :-)
Love the sunset!
Hmm I think I remember mud cracks on Cleethorpes beach
I go with the first shot of the day, Thomas. Colours and shapes were delightful. I am mad also as I agree with you about the sound shots, super abstracts!
