Landscape Photography TV Show | Wildscapes

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This is my Landscape Photography TV Pilot, Wildscapes. This photography show was filmed in 2016, fueled on a shoestring budget and dreams of making the big time. Sadly the concept of my Landscape Photography Television Series never got picked up by any production companies, so today I am finally releasing it here. It was filmed in Iceland and all images were taken on a Canon 5DSR. Enjoy.

Absolutly Stunnin': Those were the days... :D
It was great to hear that so many times again. :)
This is the Thomas Heaton that we all know and love , brilliant
This has been one of those rare RUclips moments where I've just sat and watched it from start to finish. Not only did I not stop for a coffee I haven't even lit a smoke.
A very relaxing watch, classic Heaton.
Hope to see more like this😊👌
Maybe it could be a fit for Netflix / Amazon prime
Netflix already has Tales By Light, maybe they'd want something new for their photographers watchers
But why Netflix or Amazon Prime (I have both)? The natural fit is RUclips, So, what's the need?
Bear Grylls of photography, that would be amazing, you and Bear..
Haha yea, thats what i got straight away a bear grylls vibe.
Bear Grylls is awesome tho
@@brianc5581 they would make an awesome team.
More like Survivorman of Landscape photography (Les Straud is the real deal, Bear.. not so much)
couldn't think of anything worse!
I have been yelling this since day 1 🤣
“Tales of light” is a great show for photographers. It was shot in corporation with Canon, if I’m not mistaken. It’s available on Netflix.
Yeah 1st series of that was awesome.
Thanks for the recommendation!!
Beautiful, I cannot understand why you could not find enough interest in a television show of this nature, my take away is that we are fortunate in that we get to go with you on your many adventures whether it is to Patagonia, the African continent, Iceland or my part of the world when you have come to the United States. I do have to admit I do have a preference for your British and Scottish landscapes as I am not easily able to visit those glorious locations. Being 67 I pretty much explore my own little piece of the world, the southeastern US, namely the Georgia coast and inland areas which are full of historic sites. Please continue your work as you are such a great inspiration to us all, thank you.
I really really appreciate that you kept the realness in this pilot. Most shows want the viewers to believe that everything was perfect. The host went out did their thing and came back no hiccups just the way it was planned. So to see you fall and get lost or have a poor shoot, not that you did, it would be a wonderful change of pace for a travel show. I particularly love that you included the fall in the intro. Brilliant! Would absolutely love to see a show like this on mainstream media and to get more people interested in landscape photography. Your style of cinematography has changed over time, but it was a nice throw back to your older vlogs with the style and music and made me smile. Really enjoy your content past, present and look forward to the future.
In all honesty, I started watching the TH channel because of the old style vlogging. I learnt everything about landscape photography and purchased my full frame after watching TH photography videos. Very nostalgic feeling. I just miss the old style vlogging and esp the canon camera. I downloaded all TH videos in his channel to watch them after work and get inspired to get out there and photograph.
The ‘fail’ you talk about at the start, is that no one took you up on doing a series. This was great!
Lawrence Dunn you only fail when you stop trying to succeed, I believe he will be working on this in the background
Mr Heaton at his best … super concentrated and undiluted …awesome
This is why I enjoy watching your videos on RUclips because the wild landscape photography, the hike and the spectacular views.
"Now lets get up that mountain and take photos " (double guns) . Alan Partridge would be proud ;-).A bit rough around the edges but I can definatley see the potential for this on mainstream tv Thomas.
By my count, 8 “Absolutely Stunning” or variations there of. I love this program but being in the television industry, I can understand why producers would want to change certain elements of the show. It’s perfect for us who follow your adventures all the time but a general audience might not relate enough to hold interest.
That's exactly what I thought. It's great for photography nerds but the average viewer would just think what a nerd! Moments of brilliance, but not a mass market show. I'd like to see a series where landscape photography was one episode but they had other specialists in studio work, macro, portrait, sport, wildlife etc. But a series all on landscapes is probably too specialised.
@@alangauld6079 purely technical shows tend to die because there is so much you can teach, Shows about the experience, travel to amazing locations, and showing the process of making great photographs is something that would have a lot more longevity and has the capacity to attract people that loves nature and see other countries, photographers that prefer se see the experience and the work involve to get the that spot, and also the more technical aspects of it. IMHO
Not so sure, Kenneth. Who would have thought so many would regularly watch baking, sewing, repair shops etc. There has been an exponential growth in recent years in both photography (as everyone has one on their phone) and in hill walking/hiking/adventures. Travel has always been of interest even local (take Coast or Julia Bradbury’s walks). Everyone loves an enthusiast ( Tom is hardly nerdy). I think with the right format a programme showcasing the best scenery this Country and abroad has to offer would captivate both enthusiastic and armchair adventurers. The photography is just the gel to pull it together. And Tom presents well.
I respectfully disagree with your comment. The film Thomas created was aimed at a like-minded audience and not mainstream viewers. Fishing and football shows are only great if like those genres! Millions of people own and use cameras so why wouldn’t this work? Tom’s presentation skills were top-notch and the show felt just like an episode of Spring Watch. Excellent!
I think this show could work, but with the updated style he has these days, and not so serious as he was here in this, and a co-host or a new visitor to the show every now and then would help alot. Basicly what his youtube 😂
Agree there should be a photography/ outdoors/ travel series - and you are just the man to do it. You deserve it - you ate a sheep's face.
I'd watch this on Netflix in a nanosecond. Love it!
Couldn't agree more with all the comments. Thanks for dusting it off and sharing it with us.👍🏻
Magic, I feel so much energised after that .....😊👍🏻
Thomas: Thanks for that, brilliant, more please!
Thomas, I’m all about street photography, almost solelyWhich is why it makes zero sense, that I binge your videos so much haha. Thanks a lot for the inspiration and approach as a photographer on RUclips! Now let me check out this TV show you’re talking about!
Agree. There's a market for this. 4 Videos a year like this sounds great - one themed for the upcoming season, to inspire people to go out and to give them some ideas and hints what to look for.
I say “Damn the man.” You don’t need ‘em. This was excellent in every way. And like all things, the future episodes will be better and better. Rest assured I will be watching whether a TV deal is in the future or not. I can’t wait for Wildscapes Ep. 2!!!
Well done Thomas Heaton. Two burgers are enough for me thank you very much.
I think this is wonderful, if they don’t turn this into a Television they will be missing a great opportunity.
I started a business in 2002 called "Scottish Photo Tours". It was a photo holiday business and we attracted hundreds of photographers from all over the world to join us for a photo holiday in Scotland. In 2005, I also made a pilot like this - these were in the days before RUclips and drones - and we tried to get it serialised by BBC and STV, but neither were interested at the time. I wish RUclips was about when I was doing SPT - it would have been awesome.
Just love Iceland. I have been there for 6 days and what a great place! The light is changing all the time...
When it comes to take photographs, I don't care about equipment, it's the image you show me that matters
As an amateur landscape photographer, it is inspiring to see how you've not only progressed Tom but also kept a consistent style. Between the "terrific light," and the thought you obviously put into each thought, your same unique perspective comes thru with this show just as much as your usual content. I hope you know work like this motivates other creatives to keep shooting.
These are the sort of TV programs that I yearn for. I hope that one of the TV companies eventually sees the light and takes you on. I'd definitely watch it! Good luck Thomas.
Absolutely stunnin! ,Absolute magic! and those old tunes. Miss those days tom
This is what made you who you are to people today, you should continue that style it's really enjoyable.
I remember this tv pilot you made when I started watching your channel back in its infancy. Seems like yesterday! You’ve come a long way since then Thomas and you should be proud of what you’ve achieved 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"Absolutely Stunning" , haven't heard that from you for awhile. Missed those days. But love your work Thomas. This was brilliant. I would be proud of all of those images.
I watch loads of photography stuff on RUclips but I have to admit this documentary about you and your landscapes was the best I have seen, no mention of cameras or makes, no settings information, no sponsorship details, nothing but the way you set about taking landscape pictures...I take my hat off to you, and thank you so much for showing this episode to us....it was most interesting....
Watched this twice now, and still cannot understand why one of the many TV production companies haven't picked this up. Real quality Thomas, you are right to be proud of it.
Absolutely magic!
This is heads and shoulders above so much of the content being broadcast today - 10/10 would watch
Sin duda este programa debería estar en Netflix!
Yes! I think this is really fun.
I really hope you make another one, especially since as you mentioned yourself you have grown in all different aspects of your photography. You are definitely a inspiration to young photographs.
TV is where the big audience and money are. But there’s no doubt that nowadays the best content is on RUclips. We’d be very glad to see you on the telly but you are certainly at the right place. Greetings from Brazil, keep the great work wherever it is
This is 100% something you would see on BBC 1 on a Sunday night... And finally something I would actually watch
I would definitely watch such a series. You grossly understate the quality of this video.
Absolutely love the idea. That intro of Wildscapes has the feeling of something that can be shown on NatGeo or Discovery
To be honest, like a lot of people I know, RUclips is the new TV. In the last few years, I've barely watched anything TV-related i.e. something made specific for Television. RUclips, Netflix, Prime, etc, most of these platforms have everything anyway. On a separate note though, I'd love to see something like this on Netflix.
Just watching the bear grylls of photography.
Would definitely watch!
This project is totally worth continuing to pursue!
This is why I started following you in the first place! More of this please!!!
I absolutely wouldn't get discouraged because tv networks don't pick up your show, most networks besides like educational channels put on pretty vapid and overly generic shows. I think you've done a fine job cultivating a following on RUclips that reflects your style and message rather than following the unnecessarily inflated tv model of 4 ad breaks per 30 minutes of actual content.
Absolutely stunnin’. And the fermented shark! I tried it in 2014. The restaurant served it in a sealed mason jar, and when I popped the lid I was hit by a strong ammonia smell. Managed to finish my shark and followed it up with another Icelandic specially...smoked puffin.
I felt like wild and free when I watched it , amazing
You are a natural in front of the camera. I can’t believe it wasn’t picked up by anyone. I loved it. Right up my street! I’m sure it would have had mainstream appeal too as it wasn’t too photography focussed.
Yeah - that was really good! I’d definitely watch more of that. Wherever it appears.
Some years ago (7+), our local public broadcasting station here in the SF Bay Area showed a program on a weekly basis called Wild Photo Adventures hosted by Doug Gardener, a well known wild life photographer. It had high quality production values (there was a 3 man crew with him), and he travelled all over the US and Canada giving lots of photography tips about exposure, aperture, white balance etc., as well as how to best find, track and photograph the wildlife. Often he was accompanied by local guides/experts. He even did episodes on photographing wildflowers, waterfalls (including light painting at night). Each program was 30 mins in length, and as an added bonus, always ended with outtakes and bloopers a la Gavin H. You can find many of these programs on RUclips on The Natural History Channel. He would always start the program by saying “it’s not just about the photograph but the outdoor experience “ which I think you often say in many of your videos.
A phenomenal storyteller in the past too.
It is nice to follow an idea and it is even better to see that you have developed. Thank that you for sharing with us here.
Thomas, have followed you for years and there isnt a video on your channel I haven't watched and many more than once. This my friend however is one of your best. Absolutely awesome. Maybe its because of this lockdown and the frustration of being locked in at home but I just cant wait to get back out once this is over after watching your video. Thanks !!!
You're face when you ate the "rotten shark" was priceless.
I'm a newer subscriber, actually I was sent here by Ted Forbes, not too long ago, and I'm glad I checked you out!!!! The most outstanding quality landscape photography I've ever seen, and right off the bat, your videos remind me of something I would see on National Geographic. You're right, there are not too many shows out there about this subject. There was one years and years ago called, Canon Photo Safari, you're too young to remember I'm sure, but it was pretty good, and remember when The Travel Channel actually showed travel videos??? The good old days. Thomas you have become my idol. I've learned so much from you in a short time. Keep up the great work, stay safe, and thank you!!!
I would definitely watch this! I don't think you need too much technical detail. The travelogue/photo content is a perfect mix.
Yeah, love it. Love all the images. Good to hear a few
"Absolutely stunning's"
Thrown in there after all these years. I miss them.
Best thing that happened during these tough times. Thanks a lot, may god bless u.
Absolument magnifique...grandiose...merci mille fois !!!
Is it Time Machine or what, take us right back to the days when I first saw this channel, the video I remember was that focus stacking one, time flies, time flies.
casual clothes, dinner shirt etc makes me giggle.
fantastic film
I loved it...I think it was the right balance between adventure and photography!
Absolutely MAGIC🤣
You know, while this has slightly more refined cinema qualities and was fantastic to watch your more recent work I would argue already exceeds the storytelling in this. Tom you have already managed to create this show on your own!
You got the goods. Keep making great videos. I'm sure you will find a producer if you are passionate enough to never give up. Who would have thought people would watch golfing, fishing, tiny animal world, tennis, all sorts of interests....millions of people now watch these "specialized" genres. It all starts with a person willing to put in the time and overcome the struggle. Whatever people say that there is no wide interest are crazy. How many people love to travel and take pictures? MILLIONS!!
Okay, I would watch this show so hard.
I'd definitely watch that show!!
When you did this, there wasn’t many programmes like it, now they are everywhere. I hope at some point you create something similar again. With time and your skills as they are now it would make a superb 6 prog series!
P.S.
Get some clippers and have a No 1 😂😍👍 keep well and stay safe.
"It taste just like rotten shark" - lol, love it
Wildscapes is amazing, well done, I would definitely watch it. You're such a natural on camera and your photographs are stunning. Always wondered why there are no shows on TV about photographers. Child chefs, truck drivers in Alaska, and Jersey Shore, but no photographers! Glad you made this and super happy that RUclips exists so you could continue making videos and sharing your knowledge.🙏👍
Thanks Thomas, A fantastic production. It is drama, story and production values to be aspired to. I'm almost speachless Thanks Tony
Thomas - you should be proud on many fronts - both the production you did and how far you have come and improved! Keep up the stunning work!
OMG, how young you look in there :) Seriously, I think you already made it with your youtube channel with more personal stuff and more interesting journeys to tell about. Your current videos are same level as this one and now you are working mostly alone for my understanding.
Ahh those were the days when you could get a hair cut anytime ! Go for it Thomas.
Whoa, the first and last shots are incredible!
Fantastic programme! Hopefully the BBC could pick this up now that photography has taken off so much among the masses - the networks are all in need of new shows now after all! It's like Brian Cox meets Spencer Kelly in photographic form...
Would love to see how this would look four years later! Congratulations Tom ☺ Can't wait for the book to arrive! Loved your first one which I read over on Kindle Unlimited while travelling through Japan...
Really enjoyed this video. What an amazing place Iceland is as well. Thanks to all those involved in making it and of course yourself, Tom.
What a Stunning place, awesome
This is brilliant Thomas. It's a sad world if the companies you spoke to couldn't see the possibilities of a series like this.
Ohh there are so many things to say. But before that, let's take a long deep moment of applause after seeing the premiere of 'Wildscape'...
Way Hey! The "Prof Brian Cox" of Photography!👍📷😊 Really well done, like those burgers!👍 Seriously thought I was watching BBC Four for a minute! Really enjoyed it!
Fun! Could be a Masterclass!!!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
I think this was so well done. Very professional! I’d love it as a regular show.
Properly chuckled when you fell... “oh sh*t!!!”
Definitely TV worthy. It inspires and has interest throughout. Loved it. 👍
Ah, takes me back to the "absolutely stunnin'" days. If Gordon Ramsay can give a bloody hell while attempting some trick in his adventure cuisine show, I think you can do that whilst tasting weird foods. If Bear Grylls can appear to get lost, I think you are licensed to actually be lost. There are things as an editor that likely would get cut like the automobile accident, but I loved it. I'd DVR that!
Can't wait to enjoy this series!
I feel too much in this video❤️ Thank you Thomas for sharing this masterpiece journey.
This would be great on TV!
Thanks for sharing this Tom. I remember you talking about this way back then (where has the time gone). I think the pilot was aimed just at the right level. Not to technical and with a good balance of travel themed topics. Hopefully you'll keep working on the concept...you never know.👍
As someone said below, this is the TH that drew me to your channel. Amazing. And has rekindled my love for landscape photography.
This is still one of my favorite productions from you. I liked all of the images, especially the first one and the last one. Job well done.
I would watch this on TV. Really Good!
I'm really surprised producers didn't pick this up! Great video! You did an outstanding job!
I'm crying out for a show like this. F4 get together and make this happen would be extra interesting
Brilliant mate, hop over this summer and let's do this again ;)
Two questions for you, Thor. 1. Can I come? 2. Can you give me a job so I can move there?
@@andrewbendin3226 Two answers for you my friend, 1. abslolutly, always welcome. 2. I wish I could
I for one, absolutely love the fact that you didn't spend time on talking about camera settings, but took us through what we were actually looking at. Loved it.
A wonderful video Thomas, just the right amount of information, not too much technical stuff for the mass market. I would most certainly enjoy a series like this. Really well done.
I really like this a lot. I've seen the occasional photography "program" on Netflix and Amazon, but I will tell you this: I didn't watch the clock while watching this. Great concept. A little science thrown in to boot. Go for it. Send it around again.
