    I said to my boyfriend in my most accurate Heaton accent, "Guess which of our favourite UK photographers are here in Canada?" And he said back in his best Heaton, "THOMAS?!" Hahaha we love that you're here, love your videos Thomas! We love your photography skills, but truly appreciate your personality/humour. :)

    Fantastic video! This one really captures (with your enthusiasm) the thrills of landscape photography, which includes the excitement of travel to location, the breathtaking scenery, moments of reflective serenity, unexpected spontaneous captures (i.e. ice bubbles), the satisfaction of capturing at least a few great photos, and the camaraderie with like-minded photographers. Truly enjoyable content!

    OK, I just LOVE this segment {09:02-10:20}, ending with your reflection:
    "It's just a case of waiting for the light and making those fine adjustments so that you're *ready* when the light happens."
    I've been gathering ways to invite others into a more patient -- even contemplative -- mode of photography, and this moment in your "gorgeous" video [sorry, Mr. Black] is spot on. Thank you.

    @louisedanforth8079 Год назад

    A quick FYI for methane bubbles. Take a cup of warm water and throw it over the ice, it takes some of the cloudy problem away and adds some reflections. We have had some amazing shots that didn't turn out as nice as we expected until we did the water trick. The other trick is Beavertail Snowshoes, they take some getting used to but a lot less sinking in the snow LOL. I am so glad that you guys had such an amazing trip to one little corner of our amazing Canadian Rockies.
