Photographing That Beautiful Morning Glow (Landscape Photography)

- In this landscape photography video I wake up early and photograph a beautiful sunrise at a familiar location. This photo shoot has been planned for some time and involves a winter sunrise with blue skies at low tide, which is the combination I require for my previsualised image.

For fun; How many times did I climb up the wall to get that sequence? Please show your working out. 😂
I was exactly thinking about it Thomas :D
In theory, you might have done it with only two scalings: the first to place the video gear for the overhead shots of you tossing up the tripod and backpack, and then the second one to show you climbing up after them. That said, it's possible you had to climb another time at the outset just to scope out the setup. I'm hoping you were able to avoid climbing down and back up between the takes with different perspectives from on top. I'm always impressed by how hard you have to work (and make the effect invisible) to create these videos. They are very entertaining, stand-alone, and of course they're informative ... and they help us to know you better. Thanks!
I count at least 3 round trips. Should have brought your drone.
hehe... Hey there Thomas! I was thinkin' about that earlier and I concluded that whatever number I came up with I needed to, likely, multiply it by 12.467 and then round up. But think about the abs and the triceps! Cheers, bro.
I would say at least 5. I think the second image would work in black and white with some extensive dodging and burning.
"I'm as high as I could possibly be" - Thomas Heaton 2020.
I was going to comment on that and then I saw your comment. Thomas needs to come out with a tee-shirt with that on it, LOL!!
The new version of the image is much better. That bit of colour and the glow just makes allllll the difference.
I love the early sunrise colours mixed with the coldish blue sky to remind you it is cold and winter.... so for me I like the new version of the two shots the most!
My favourite of the two photos is the one on the left, with the pink sky reflected in the water. They are both lovely images but the pink one definitely has the edge.
I like the left one better. The colors feels calmer and warmer to me
I agree, but the calmer water on the left suits the mood better. Maybe a longer exposure could have calmed the scene on the left a bit?
Honestly, I was thinking to myself, "I wonder how many times Tom had to prop himself up on that bunker" , lol. Your production work is getting better. Like a lot. :)
My first thought exactly. " Poor lad, how many times did he prop himself up there for our sake?"
Lol. 3.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto That's what getting older does to you lol!
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto That was my initial thought but I decided... I'm really bad at math! 🤣
This was my first thought as well ;-)
You're right the wet sand are on the left between the rocks and the river is a bit distracting. I also 100% agree, nothing ruins a beach shot like a bunch of footprints.
The pinky image is the better one for me.
You do need to return for the lobster outcrop shot when the tide is over the river, but you’ll be lucky to get the moon full and the sky so lovely and subtle!
That’s why we love photography - if it wasn’t a challenge we would find something else to do.
Part of the interest is getting the most from whatever the situation presents you with, and you’re very good at that. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Your best videos are when you shoot with your 5D, not because of Canon but because you know it so well that it doesn’t get in your way, it doesn’t mess with your creative process. Great video and I find the new photo more pleasing than the previous one 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That pink in the river is gorgeous
The pinkish/purplish is my favorite.
I love the shot with the rocks and out of the other two it has to be the pink one which looks warm and inviting.
Little doggie made this video one of you top ten videos maybe one of the top 5. Still laughing and with a big smile.
We have a coronavirus lockdown here in southern California so any laughter is welcome.
Thank the little doggie for me.
Thanks for this candid day in the life video. I like the pink tint in the two side by side shots. Stay healthy.
I also think higher tide would be more appropriate. It would isolate the rocks.
Dog crossing right in front of the camera was really funny!
I think the left one is fantastic, the colour is very nice.
Personally, I don't think that the river is a problem in the photo with the rocks. Those rivers are always a part of the seaside landscape. To me, they help constitute the character of the landscape and can just as well be seen as a vital element of the image. In my mind, you have every reason to be happy with this image.
That was an awesome intro man! I actually really dig the flat overcast light more then the purple one. Something about that color palette just really works for the composition IMO.
I know what you mean. Just like Natalie Imbruglia, I'm torn.
I agree the rocks are amazing! Try a higher tide. The soft pink pic is the best!
To be honest, I prefer your last shot with the castle. The light is so much more pleasant. And the color and the mood
I prefer your updated image to the older one. And as for the dog......best laugh I've had for a while!!! Just as well you'd already taken the shot. Admire the effort you put in to take just one or two shots - I don't have the same self-control, or talent! Lovely location.
Of the two similar images, I prefer the colour of the left one but the composition of the right one because the S-bend is more complete.
I prefer the first shot as the colors are more subdued and balanced. Thanks again for your great videos, and the inspiration you provide to us!
Northumberland coast ...love it!
Still keep watching your Canada vid with gavin..adam & nick trying to walk in the waist deep snow...funny as!!
The purple and pink hues image for me Tom. I did have a chuckle when the dog made an appearance. Fab!
Hi Tom, I personally prefer the old photo with the S curve and the castle behind. The patterns on the sand are very interesting and keep me glued to the image.
The sunrise shot preferred out of those two shown. Thanks for the video
The picture with more blue and violet colours. With the sand it looks more pleasing.
Tough choice! I prefer the composition of the first one but the colors of the second one.
Have to say I agree with you on the tide its defo cut in half. As for your re take i feel the comp on the fist was nicer with the lines in but the colours and feel of the second is much nicer.
I like the one on the left. The sky has better color and more interest.
"What a beautiful morning" he says in his Montane parka, heavy gloves and a Russian style Siberian arctic fur cap. Yup, just a lovely morning in the UK.
I like the composition of your original image as it givers the bend in the river space. Like the morning light and tones in the new image. Like to also see the rock shot at high tide. Great video cheers Mike
I like both of them, even with the same scene, they have different feeling and each has its own beauty. The left one has more vibrance color, more lively, indicate the start of the new day, while the right one has this senerity feeling. I feel more calm, relaxing looking at it. Can't pick the better one between the two!
The pink is better than the pastel blue.
I think you're right about the rock image. having the tide fill the space up to the edge of the rock would be less cluttered and you can always smooth out the water with a long exposure.
I agree on the shots with the rocks, the middle ground with the river and sand break up the image. A still day at high tide would be ideal, maybe a long exposure too. For the river shots I prefer the one on the left with the colors.
I much prefer the image on the right with less sunrise color. The pastel colors are beautiful! Cheers!
Such a wonderful video Thomas - enjoy watching you soooo much
Hi Thomas: You are so fortunate to have such as large selection of amazing shooting locations near your home. Personally, I think that I like the winter version of the shot from atop the pill box more. While I do like the image of the rocks on the beach, I agree that there is just something missing. Maybe getting a larger harvest moon rising on the horizon when there is a low tide would be magical. Cheers, Keith (Canada)
ur literally exactly what i want to be when i grow up
Thanks for the video. We loved the pink tones in the photo.
Great video Tom, I enjoy your local videos more than your epic adventure vlogs I think. I couldn't help but laugh when the Dog ran across the Sand! The things us Landscape Photographers have to put up with ! :D
Great to see something other than a tree. I like the shot on the left best as it shows orange colours.
I think the dog running past was a bon(e)us. Especially after you were talking about footprints. Luckily captured and funny editing. I've had the dog in the shot moment many times but not paw prints..and captured live...priceless..lol. Especially with the early a.m. dog walkers...classic. And don't get me started on joggers...grr.....ruff ruff!
I prefer the pinker one! Thank you.
Not a bad shot. A is the best of the two.
Today's shot is best
Like the new river shot the rocks, nice but a bit busy for me your latest minimal style would definitely suit high tide there. Lovely stuff even so.
I prefer the right one, Since all elements are in better shape. Well, the left has better color for sure.
I'm a simple man. I see Thomas Heaton, i upvote
I like the pinkish tones.
Love them both, Thomas! "Which do you prefer?" That's like asking which of one's children one likes best. I really like the rich and subtle variety of color in the new one. I like the composition of the earlier one, especially seeing the tip of the spear of land. In the new one, I like the slight smoothness of the near waters, without having lost the texture of the incoming wave.
Love the left pinky one more. It’s the colour and the way the sand sweeps across the image.
Both are amazing but the right one seems more plesant to my eyes cause the color palet make me happier and harmonized !!!
Hi Tom, in answer to your question, I preferred the image on the left of the screen. I feel that the pink cast to the light gives the image a lovely warm feeling. Another great video, loved the irony, thanks Tom!
Of the two images, I like the one with the warmer pink hues. For the rock foreground image I agree with you that the middle zone has too much going on with the messy wet sand and the water cutting through. It sort of stops my eye from journeying all the way through the image from front to back as it seems should be the intention.
Another great episode. I recall from my travels during my college semester abroad in the UK stopping in Berwick and taking an excursion for the day out to Holy Island. The castle, the locals, the inescapable immersion in its history and past--and, yes, the tide!!!--made it truly a magical experience. How I wish I could return with my camera gear!
I definitely prefer the earlier version of the shot. It's actually one of my favourites in your book because it's so subdued and calming.
Love that Holy Isle
I think the image of the rocks was beautiful.
A nice & calm place to shoot TH. I prefer the the shot with the pink tones, it seems to reflect the actual conditions. Cheers
Loved the video Tom, I think both photo are amazing, I do like the newer photo more then the older photo.
Love the one on the left nice pink hues
Great video! I like the updated photo better for the pink and purple colours. I laughed out loud when the dog ran past after all that talk about pristine sand! Phewf, glad you already had the shot. 👍😄
Definitely the blueish S photo!
Great location for some light painting.
I like the photo on the left, the one with the most color. Really enjoyed the video
The colour on today's picture is much better but I think I like the framing on the previous one.
The Right Picture is much better!
I really enjoy these intros, that are just you, and the sounds around you. Really just sucks me in! I really do like the original image of that first comp. To me that color palette of the warm and cool tones works better. The second one may have been improved by getting lower and making the rocks a bigger emphasis with a wide angle - too bad the dog ruined it. Great film!
Love the rocks. Prefer the one on the left. Nice photo.
Finally, a video without trees :)
Definitely like the new light conditions of your original shot.
Totally agree, the high tide or just receding tide, would make rock formation a nicer composition and maybe a long exposure to blur out the water, make it look all magical around the rocks would isolate the rocks and add to popping out their texture? Just a thought.
Hi Thomas, I prefer the colours in today’s photo but the composition in the older photo because I can see both bends in the river...time for a HDR merge! 😜
What an amazing video... As always! Loved it!
I laughed way to hard when you set up for the shot & the dog ran past. I've experienced the way too many times, so I know what you were feelin.
I went up there last year and I was in the sea and a dog came and cocked it’s leg on my camera gear. I was foaming. The dog owner just gave me a mouthful when I challenge him.
Genuine laugh out loud moment at the dog! Reminds me of my visit to a glass calm Blea Tarn on Saturday, a lady came down to the shore, stripped down to her swim suit and with a cheery "sorry about the ripples" dived in for a swim. Luckily I got my shot a few seconds earlier!
Preferred the shot with the more pink tones btw.
I love your new castle shot!
Nice colors in the first shot. You succeeded!
Honestly, I don't get this obsession of many landscape photographers with avoiding footprints on the beach.
Maybe it's because I grew up in a coastal town where the difference between low and high tide isn't big at all. To me a beach has footprints - it's a natural condition, and I think it can contribute more to a beach shot, than a beach where all the footprints are washed away.
If it were me, I might find a rock formation above the high tide line, where footprints don't get washed away, but are smoothed over by the wind over time. That might be difficult to find, but it's what I would try to do.
Hi Thomas, definately prefer your latest image. Well worth the effort to return to the scene.
I prefer the older image - for me it captures the feel of that stretch of coast beautifully.
I like the slightly wider crop and smoother water in the older image, but prefer the colours in the new one.
definitely prefer the new sunrise shot. The flat image looks great too, but I love the sunrise glow. The other one I agree is less certain. Not because of the elements, they all look great (esp. the full moon), but they're all just ever so slightly asymmetrical. It would look amazing either perfectly symmetrical or more asymmetrical, but this strikes a kind of middle balance that feels torn between the two. Still a great photo though, and looking forward to the high tide version!
The one on the left with more color looks fabulous.
I would say that todays photo was definitely the better one, the light and the multitude of colour made it stand out more and it brought the photo life. Whereas the flat light of the first photo you took makes it lack depth, it feels like it was photocopied onto a piece of bond paper.
Thank God, Thomas’ video finally has English subtitles!
agreed todays shot was the best well done tom
Both are great images, it took me a bit to decide but I think I slightly prefer the pinker one to the left.
I like the one on the left the pink is calming , nice video👍
I think I like the shot with the rocks in the foreground better than the shot with the castle in the background. Thanks for taking us along, Thomas.
I like the old one more. Always been one of my favorites from your portfolio.
You are right about the composition, also the smaller rock on the right is distracting. But I would me most happy to take a shot like that, it remains nice. The other one is really nice but it was ok to remove the reddish, it looks more natural without the pink sky.
For me the photo on the right 👍
Hi Tom. Thank you; your best video in ages. I appreciate all your viewers will have different views but my personal preference is when you are out, in the field, taking shots and explaining to us why you chose a particular composition and how you executed your shots. I also enjoy your studio vids, when you show us how and why you edit them in a particular way. Personally, I am not especially as interested in photography gear nor transportation. I also tend to prefer your vids when you are in the UK and wish you did far more (post-Covid, of course). Grand places like Iceland etc are all very well but, with respect, it is not especially tough to take epic pictures there as far as I can see - well a whole slew of landscape photographers have done it, anyway. I have nowt against Iceland - fab place but I especially enjoy seeing your skills against the (generally) less epic UK - sorry, I do like your woodland trips, too. I think it would be great to see you spend a week or a couple in different UK regions (I remember your Harris trip, for example) and what about the even less epic southern England? The New Forest / Hampshire Coast deserve your attention, for example. If you have, thanks for reading. Apropos this week's shot; I prefer the pink sky of this shoot but I would also like to see how the two shots work in monochrome B&W. Take care, stay safe and, again, thank you.
I still like the original castle shot, the colours are more harmonies I feel.
I thought when I saw the ladder on your new van and now I see you climbing up on things for better elevation that maybe the van could have a platform on top. Ansel Adams style.
Terrific and actually I like the rocks ..It makes me think of a giants foot.Worth keeping and framing .It's a stunner .Of your two images I prefer the one on the left .Oh grief must beware when I next visit UK .Always head to the beaches .and before I leave I write my name in the sand :) Sacrilege ! To be fair I wait and watch the tide wash the name away :) 👍 Great video .
The sunrise in the new picture clearly provides contrast and structure and makes the shot look so much better! Nice work.
The S curve with the pink glow is much pleasant for me.
I think it is great to revisit old photos if only to see how far you have come on your photography journey. Great vlog
