One of my favorite videos of yours was when you jumped on a bike and rode around your area. The photos you took weren't the best you ever made but they were good and most importantly it inspired me to go out shooting myself. Most of us can't travel to the most awe inspiring landscapes so seeing you just taking shots that are accessible to you make me want to shoot in areas that are accessible to go me.
Thomas, at 40 you are just a young man. I am almost 77 and I don't feel old at all, because I choose to love getting older and enjoying my photo adventures. Sure, I probably couldn''t go on a 3 day hike up massive mountains, but like you said in this video, you can find some fabulous shots by going slow and having a good look around. Enjoy your life no matter how old you are. Beautiful photos as usual.
Thomas, I’ve been following you for many years, and I’ve always liked your photographic style. Especially in your recent videos, I can see that you are trying some changes. I really enjoy how you compare the raw format original images with the edited photos side by side, as it allows me to directly feel your post-processing ideas. Thank you for sharing!
I really like that you are showing your Raw images with the processed. Gives a great perspective on how you are able to visualise ‘a’ final image from the scene before you, and is insightful to your process. Many thanks Thomas.
What a redemption! After the gloom, despair and agony of your last video. The 2 black and white images are top shelf. Glad you got your head back in the game!
I’ve continued to watch your videos over the years because of your enthusiasm, interesting content and total commitment to produce great images. Long may your journey continue Tom.
Hey Tom, I just wanted to quick share a story. In the beginning of 2019 I think, you released a video and you were really like down and unmotivated. I don’t remember why but you were all doubting yourself and your creativity and all that. The next video after that you went for a hike and took one image that to this day is one of my favorites. It was very simple of like some rocks and foliage, but I remeber the excitement that you felt because it somehow gave you a renewed energy and like optimism!!! And I just remember seeing the image and thinking well that’s a fantastic photo, I can go to such and such place and try and take one of my own. And I did! And I was so happy. That single video made me so willing to go out and take photos (because I too was feeling very down). And that’s why you’re my favorite photographer man, because you’re so honest with us and we can relate so much to that. This video made the same for me that other video did 5 years ago. I appreciate you very much and will continue to do so!
Nice one. This is my kind of Thomas Heaton video. Much preferred to storm chasing, travel to epic locations, or whatever. This is the kind of video which always inspires me.
Thomas, I really like the B&W with the long exposure. It's amazing how you got those with less than perfect conditions. Can't wait for your calendar to show up.!!! I love the dock picture. Glad to see you better, in body and spirits. Cheers
I really like how you show both the raw files and the edited photos. Have you thought about switching them around and showing the raw files first and then fading into the edited ones? Best for last and all that. Anyway, keep up the great work.
Thomas, thank you so much for making this video. It explains so much and helps me personally. For almost a year now, I have had this notion of riding my motorcycle and carrying my photo gear to go to different places…combining two of my passions. The problem always was, when I was on my motorcycle, I was enjoying it too much to get off. Then if I did get off and after taking off all my gear (especially if it was hot), I never gave myself enough time for photography and assessing the scene/composition. Alas, I think I need to separate the two. When I want to ride. I ride. When I want to take photos, I will try and be much more purposeful and likely drive or walk…Great stuff. Eye opening.
Seeing you much more energetic and optimistic is more pleasing than the composition. It is life looks. Sometimes we are in the peak, sometimes we are valley.
A Thomas Heaton video is a highlight in my day. Thanks for taking us all on your photo journenie TH. And what a wonderful perspective on life you provide.
The sand in the 2nd BW image really popped and was my favorite image. I want to say too that I really enjoy your videos, even the ones where you struggle can still inspirational. Thank you as always!
As someone who just lives down the road from you, this video really spoke to me more than all the epic videos in dream locations (Which i also love). I often find my local area a bit uninspiring and always seem to look to the lakes or Scotland and completely neglect what Northumberland has to offer, I guess I just take it for granted. I must have walked those beaches scores of times and never really felt the urge to bring the camera. To see the joy and happiness in your face for a, at first glance, mundane location I have clearly been missing out! Loved every one of the images.
Thomas, many, many years ago you advocated to shoot locally-possibly at the start of quarantine. These are great shots with great technique. Glad to see you are following your own advice! I hope your knee is better.
I haven't done much photography all year because I haven't been feeling it. I've learned over the years that if I want to enjoy what I'm doing, don't force it. Photograph for me is a hobby and a retreat. When the muse arrives, I'll be back out with vengeance. And I'll enjoy it all the more for the absence.
I'm exactly the same. My photography comes and goes, and I can literally do very little for years and then it comes back. Having a million and one other hobbies doesn't help 🙄
A beautiful video Thomas with beautiful compositions and photos and clearly more inspiration to photograph than in the Alps. And no rubber caps under your tripod legs but spikes which definitely give more stability.
Some of my favorite photography isn't the "epic places stuff". It's the every day things you see in small towns, the beach, the forest, etc. I've been shooting with the XF90 f2 recently to purposely focus on details and slices of things. It's really been fun. Thanks for taking us along!
Hey Thomas I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to pursue photography. Been blessed every day since I started this journey and I’m super excited about this new hobby. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with all of us.
Oh, it's good to see you out in Deli, Thomas! I'm glad the knee has lessened and your mood has lifted. Really love your black and white work, you really have a knack for it. Cheers from the USA😊
I actually like the black and white photos way more than what the RAW shows, which thank you for showing the difference, it shows more detail of whats in the photographs and makes them better
It's really amazing how you see potential for great photos in spots where the most would see nothing. Thank you for explaining and sharing the making of your incredible photos, and of course the final product. I learn a lot from your videos! Greetings!
I like your videos because of your honesty with us, i really resonated with this one, it is all about where your head is at. I've been making stupid mistakes lately and was getting fed up with myself, my husband said keep it simple, so I did, it worked much better, I was alot happier, but all the weather apps said clear, nope, that cloud did not shift from the milky way till it was too late, but keeping it simple put me back in a better place again. Pain can be a crippler for most things, including creativity, thanks Thomas
@6:07 Thank you so much for walking us through your settings and giving a mini talk through - like the good olde days. This part, where you explain the risks of over stacking and overuse of CPL in skies was so reassuring. I've had the wide angled vignetting issue (which I know is common) but the 'dark patches' in the sky when I was doing photography up on the mountains of Madeira was a real sucker punch. I thought it was the lens, but now, having watched this video, I realise that it might be more to do with the overuse of CPL. Cheers Thomas!
I’m glad you’re doing better with your knee injury. I damaged my IT band road running in training for the Karimor marathon and it took about two years to heal. Twenty five years later and I still have the odd twinge from it so make sure you recover fully. I love your minimalist shots and enjoy your videos when you are clearly enjoying them as well :-)
Doesn't have to be in the alpine mountains. I follow you because of your love for photography no matter where you are. You were the 1st I ever followed, years ago. What got me was your enthusiasm for the hunt. That desire to find a beautiful scene, not the perfect scene. Alway enjoy your work when you keep it simple and explained what your process is while taking a shot. Keep up the relaxed form, no self pressure to achieve the perfect image, but a beautiful scene
Hi Thomas, I like the b/w pictures. And regarding the weather conditions: I don‘t call it any longer weather forecast, for me it‘s a weather possibility. This leaves room for everything. Which your video has proven😉🤓
It was great to see you back in shape and full of stamina and passion for making photographs, particularly in a "common" place. I was feeling tired tonight, but your energy was contagious: I'll wake up early tomorrow and will (at least try to) make the photo of this place I go by every day on my way to work and that itches every time. The black and white photos are nice, but my favourite is the second one, I find it more balanced and smooth, despite the roughness of the sand on the foreground. Thanks for sharing such a vibrant video, cheers!
Hi Tom, I am so glad you have recovered from your Alpine blues, I very much enjoyed your film today, shots 1-3 top notch no.4..., Meh! well done and see you next time, Derek
Nice to see your head is back into the game. I turn 75 in a few months and I can tell you you haven’t seen anything yet!! I try to get out and get photos every day! In many ways, my photography keeps me going! Thanks for taking me along! (I really liked the B&W images!)
Glad to see you back in what seems to be good form. I really like this kind of content where it's way more about the process of making a photograph than the result. I feel can relate way more to trying to carve out compositions in ones local environment becoming slightly frantic over something a muggler wouldn't give a second glance than going to honeypot locations. By the way, love the image of the bird sanctuary thingy.
Wow this hits home for me these days. Overworked, little to no “me time”… it’s not a mindset that’s compatible with creativity & motivation. Working hard to change my situation, thanks for reminding me I’m not alone in this 👏🏻
You’re definitely not alone. I’m so tired and overworked, I don’t have the energy to pick up the camera and go. Earlier in the week I actually took my camera with me and never took it out of the bag.
@@vivlund I’ve made it a point to (at least) never leave home without a camera. Even if I can’t shoot all the time, it’s there when I can, improving my odds 🙂👍🏻
When I saw Deli back on the drive at the weekend, I thought "Great, we're going to get some more local photography.". I didn't expect it published so soon. Glad you have your excitement back.
Thomas great to see you back on home ground I believe we will soon be experiencing the kind of weather you make the most of with your van . It’s great that your spark is re-igniting for the images , can’t wait to see what your calendar will have for 2025 keep the faith brother and also those dawn hikes . Hoping your knee improves and keep the frozen peas handy.just in case 😅
Really enjoyed this one Thomas, very inspirational, and some cracking images, the wide image of the sand patterns is my pick of the bunch, just so happens I am heading to the local beach tomorrow. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration.
After shooting on Canon kit for over 40 years, I have just gone over to a Nikon Z7 mk 2. Gotta try something different and I can't wait to get out there. Thanks for a great channel which gives me lots of motivation and inspiration. Thanks 😀
Love what you did with showing us your composition when you put the polarizer on. I know I would appreciate more videos where you show us how compositions change when adding filters/polarizers. I think it helps me/us to visualize what you are seeing when you take your photos. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Excitment and passion is the extact reason alot of us started doing this or have pursued it as far as some have! We can't lose it! Haha i have fallen into a rut over the last month and started this channel and posted a few videos to re light the spark and start exploring and creating again! ❤ Feels good to put out a few shorts and start to get the juices flowing 🙌 thanks for the video it really resonated
I'm 48. I got a spinal injury in 2018, since then when I go on short hikes, due to going at the pace I'm forced to. It enables me to take in much more of my surroundings, so im far less likely to miss a good composition. Sometimes the journey is as enjoyable as the destination! :)
I appreciate the video. I'm find that most of my photography recently is around clients. Although I'm appreciative, nothing beats having a walk about and capturing what you find interesting. Thanks again.
Biggest mojo killer for me is coming back from somewhere aboard that's more interesting than my local patch, takes me some time to get out of that headspace. Excellent photography as always Thomas particularly 2nd photo onwards.
Tom, I love your black and white conversion and thank you for explaining about the polariser. I am editing photos ATM from a trip away and I couldn’t understand what was wrong with the sky until you said this. I love your local stuff where you aren’t going to epic locations. 👏👏👏
Thomas - that "nesting island" until about 3 years ago was a grass-topped stack that unfortunately got washed away in a storm tide. I think it was just compacted sand and very soft. It was a real shame because the sea birds did indeed nest on it. So glad you've got your mojo back. Keep 'em coming.
Job well done!!!!! I guess everybody needs a kick in the butt every once in a while to refocus and then focus on what they want.. l appreciate you taking me on this journey with you!!!!!!
Lovely video - I feel like you're most at home in your van, out and about with little to no stress or deadlines, and the past few videos have been quite "I must get a shot!". Lovely shots as usual and great vibe (as the kids probably say).
Great to see you out there enjoying photography Tom. The setbacks in life often end up teaching us things! Loved the images. 7:00 and 15:50 were my favourites!
One of my favorite videos of yours was when you jumped on a bike and rode around your area.

YES
Yeah that video is what got me to subscribe to your channel. It was brilliant! This one captures a lot of that same joy
I remember that one in particular, too!
Yep. I enjoyed it so much that it kicked off my Friday WFH tradition of having a cheeky cocktail while working and having TH on in the background.
Thomas, at 40 you are just a young man. I am almost 77 and I don't feel old at all, because I choose to love getting older and enjoying my photo adventures.

This has the vibes of one of your videos from like 5 years ago and I love that.
Yes!!!!! I literally just commented the exact same thing!!!
@@danielcedenorodriguez9938 me too 😂. Just missing the absolutely stunning
Stunning Shots. Great watch. 😊
I really like that you are showing your Raw images with the processed. Gives a great perspective on how you are able to visualise ‘a’ final image from the scene before you, and is insightful to your process. Many thanks Thomas.

Totally agree
Me too
I completely agree
I love seeing your finished pictures along with the original RAW files! Helpful and inspiring !
"That wasn't in the forecast!!!"
A phrase I have employed many times this summer
This is great. It’s why I watch your videos. Just taking photos and talking about it. No gimmicks. Simple and lovely.
Glad to have you back Tom. Creative funks can be so demoralizing. Good to see your knee is on the mend. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thomas, I really like the B&W with the long exposure. It's amazing how you got those with less than perfect conditions.

Oh sick back to my favourite old style of photography videos. Calm, quiet, and not much happens 😊😊😊
Simplicity and minimalism are always your best compositions Thomas. It’s so nice to see you relaxed and enjoying your own style of photography.
Thomas, back in the van and back on track, cheers
Seeing you much more energetic and optimistic is more pleasing than the composition. It is life looks. Sometimes we are in the peak, sometimes we are valley.

Got half way through your last video, but this one , yes your magic is back, seem to love all your compositions.

Great to see you back with the van, the dream team 😃 Great work and interesting how mindset can change.
Nice recovery, Thomas. A pleasure to watch you in action with the mojo working. Bubbles up.
Really like the effect of the clouds achieved by long exposure! 👍👍

I've been making stupid mistakes lately and was getting fed up with myself, my husband said keep it simple, so I did, it worked much better, I was alot happier, but all the weather apps said clear, nope, that cloud did not shift from the milky way till it was too late, but keeping it simple put me back in a better place again. Pain can be a crippler for most things, including creativity, thanks Thomas
I like the color images the best. The way the clouds mimicked the shape of the sand features was cool.
Glad you got your mojo back!
Good old classy and classic Thomas Heaton video. Thank you mate!
@6:07 Thank you so much for walking us through your settings and giving a mini talk through - like the good olde days. This part, where you explain the risks of over stacking and overuse of CPL in skies was so reassuring. I've had the wide angled vignetting issue (which I know is common) but the 'dark patches' in the sky when I was doing photography up on the mountains of Madeira was a real sucker punch. I thought it was the lens, but now, having watched this video, I realise that it might be more to do with the overuse of CPL. Cheers Thomas!

That's very kind of you to say, and thank you for the donation. It really does mean a lot.
So glad you have your mojo back. Loved the cute we high roost island you found.
I love this one and the last one. Both are real and how life progresses
Hi, love the black and white, how it enhances the shapes and the emotion of the image. Glad you have your mojo back 😀
Great photos both colour and black and white, lovd the patterns on the sand

I am just happy you are back on the van!😁
Love your work, and your attitude. Your coastline looks much like our Oregon coast in fitful weather. Wonderful!

Job well done!!!!! I guess everybody needs a kick in the butt every once in a while to refocus and then focus on what they want.. l appreciate you taking me on this journey with you!!!!!!
I think the van boosts your spirits. Take it to the Alps next time :)
The bird nest island is such a great shot, looks like a great book cover shot.
Out of 4 from this video, first image is my fav. It has a clearer and cleaner dynamic between the sand lines and the seaweeds.
Welcome back!
Lovely video - I feel like you're most at home in your van, out and about with little to no stress or deadlines, and the past few videos have been quite "I must get a shot!". Lovely shots as usual and great vibe (as the kids probably say).
Great to see you out there enjoying photography Tom. The setbacks in life often end up teaching us things! Loved the images. 7:00 and 15:50 were my favourites!
Thx for sharing your experience
