    I think the advice at the end is subjective. You would take no images, some would take a couple, and others (myself included) could take hundreds! That's the beauty of photography, everyone has their own philosophy and none of it is wrong. That's why I love watching your videos alongside other photographers, never boring.

    Dear Thomas, never mind Spielberg. I enjoyed this trip with you so much. It was beautifully cropped, beautifully scenery, beautiful story telling; Arrh! Do it again..!!! I call it a "grab bag" which I always like to raid. Fantastic looking backpack is the "osprey" -it would seem like. Take care, God bless and thanks for your informative Videos. Pete

  • @Westmoreland348
    @Westmoreland348 4 года назад

    Very enjoyable video Thomas, but I quite agree that you have to choose either or a specific goal to photograph at the ideal time of day. Sometimes as you say the two might come together, but obviously a long day hike often starts and begins close to the car when they weather like to be at the best and the summit might be achieved at midday.
    It will be still enjoyable to watch this video again has a memory of what freedom we enjoyed a few weeks ago!
    If you're looking for a video opportunity, what about a spoof campervan 'trip' in your garden as a bit of light relief for us all?

  • @dac9404
    @dac9404 4 года назад

    I really liked the video. I can no longer hike (knees are shot) but came to he same conclusion when I was hiking. But I always carried my gear because of the “what if”. You get extra points for pointing out that we are all stewards of the wilds and need to help out those others that haven’t caught on yet. Thanks for picking up the can.

    Thomas, your B-Roll has dramatically improved recently. I think I’ve watched every video for the past 2-3 year’s and it amazes me how your video production and planning is just going up all the time. I dont know how you focus on scouting and still stopping to get the same shot in 3 different angles. It’s flippen brilliant.
    1 question...what is that thing you were wearing around your neck? Couldn’t tell if they were some form of earplugs or a mini ambient microphone etc?

  • @ΠετροςΡουσσος-ε5ξ

    I know it is to capture the beautiful picture; yet to me it feel like a journey. A journey to which uncharted land.
    The view and the combine of music together...feel so relax...and i learn a lot from your experiments of photo shooting.
    Thanks you so much.
    Have a good day, stay safe.

    I enjoyed the video, because like you I enjoy hiking and making images. And I specifically liked the thought process at the end. I really enjoyed my time in Nepal even if I got less great photographs than expected. It is true I got more images in Iceland where there are so much different areas you can quickly reach. But I feel way more connected to those long hiking photographs because they are more meaningful to me. They are a struggle to get, but such a great reward.

    Thomas, I believe that the APSC Fuji lens is an 55 - 200 APSC lens. It provides the "field of view" of an 55 - 200 lens. It is not a full frame lens. If it was designed for a full frame camera then the crop factor of the APSC camera would apply and it would appear as a longer lens as the APSC sensor only sees part of the view the lens supplies.

  • @stukelful
    @stukelful 4 года назад

    Brilliant effort well done! A couple of those drone shots would have made nice images. I agree, I used to often take my cameras and lenses on long hikes and came to the conclusion that the weight wasn't worth it. Now I carry a tiny Sony RX100 III and it is good enough for when light and location demand a picture, but so small and feather weight I don't feel guilty about not using it.

    I wish I'd seen this video before going on a hike yesterday. Only 5.6 miles but over a very rough mountain trail with much heavier kit. I shoot Canon and thought I'd get some bird photos on the way. No birds. Very sore feet. But at least, out of the house for the afternoon. These days, that's a big win. But I need to look into a second, lighter hiking kit.

  • @RS-Amsterdam
    @RS-Amsterdam 4 года назад

    I doubt this a bit cause 23 miles (37 km) is a long way and I hike a lot (without gear).
    Based on the footage in this film I guess with a steady pace I think you can do an average of 2.8 miles /4.5 km an hour on flat terrain, which make the whole trip last over 8 hours and that is without stops and shooting !
    Can be done, no doubt , and you look in shape, so go do it.
    However, never ever I was so exited about the next vid. hehehe

    Yeah, I’ve been on a long hike when part of your body says “just stair at the path, put one foot in front of another” and reality is, photography isn’t your second or third thought. Good on you for finishing the hike. I might have shot that silhouetted tree in the water, but that’s me.

      In an earlier video of another long walk, Thomas said that each mile on RUclips equals 1.2 miles in real life. YMMV

    Nice walk. Why, and I have inquired before, must you strike a spark to light a Jetboil? Does it not have a piezo sparker built in? (US version does.)
    Heaton is correct about long distance hiking & photography; if you hit a perfect easy-to-shoot situation as you go you can take a shot. But you can't wait for light, and the exertion weakens your mental focus and patience. It's a tough row to hoe. Looked to me one could ride a bike around that path, really make time and perhaps overcome that issue, or do the scouting.

    But that's not what we would call a go bag, that's more of a just a organization bag to keep electronic related this sorted & organized. A go bag would be more of a ruck sack with gear needed to get out of town in an emergency such as a knife, poncho, ready to eat food, matches, cordage, money, water, fire starting gear, wool blanket, 1st aid kit, etc.

    Is there a specific reason you're only using the Samyang 12mm for video? I've got an X-T3 with a 23mm F/2 and 35mm F/2 and was thinking of buying a Samyang 12mm as well (hoping to do more astrophotography).

    I couldn't agree more, long hiking doesn't make for great photography, I had this experience hiking in New Zealand and the need to cover ground limits the the possibility to find good comps at the right time. Sure you see amazing things, but almost never at sunrise / sunset or at great lighting conditions. To avoid disappointments it's better to focus on either trying for great pics or enjoying the hike! :)
