@aarondcmedia9585 New to this channel? Only 3 years so yes I guess so. the last few videos ago, Thomas was showing the edited first, and raw after. He has switched this time which is more in a logical order and the flicks. So he didn't really do that before.
My friend and I visited the stack earlier this year on a wet windy day...not as windy as your day. I found the spongey mounds really hard to walk on...I'm getting a knee replacement before Christmas. I felt very unsteady and ended up lying on my belly taking a few shots?..you were braver. Love the way you are showing the raw file then the processed one. Great videos.
When you have your conversation with Gavin and I realized that you had him looking all saturated and bright in his sunny day and you looking all desaturated in dark in your heavy weather, I about fell out of my chair laughing. Cleverly done, sir!
Great video. If on the edge of a cliff again in strong winds, suggest you flatten the tripod to the floor, which will make far more stable and attract less wind. I hope that's helpful! Then put your heavy coat and boots on it to make rock solid... then self timer, mirror up... ain't getting no blur then!
Very Nice Again ! Thank You for the details and for the two versions of Raw and Edited. I think I registered in one of your previous video that you don't enjoy making videos on photo editing, but if you could, for this one and the previous one with the sky alterations, it would be fantastic and surely make Gavin, once again, very jealous of your skills.
Green/Tundra brown shout of disbelief will live rent-free in my head from now on along with a tinge of envy of that green/tundra brown piece of art camera :-)
I love the bit in the beginning. Glad you’re taking the comment from the last video light-hearted… part of this channel is also everything around going out to take photos. I come to enjoy this way more than just photography.

Re: Electrical problem, when you get issue like that it is usually either a fuse or a bad earth, if the power cannot go the route it's meant to it will find a "sneak path" this means the power will take the path of least resistance to get to get to ground (vehicle body or battery earth) and can make all sorts of weird things happen.
I spent a week or so Sep '23 in Clare also doing the Wild Atlantic Way. Weather hasn't changed then. Ended up with about 8/9 photos I was happy with, but that took way too much effort and and asked just about everything out of my tripod. liberally weighted down with the camera bag and occasionally me leaning down on the tripod. Going in Summer next year. I've started praying for sun already.
That Hassleblad colour science is just something else. I got to hold one once for about a minute and take a few photos, was the poshest I've ever felt in my life haha :). Nice to see Gavin popping up in the video too.
My first experience with this sea stack was from the cover of my favorite banjo CD, Solid Ground by Shane Mulchrone. I just about convinced myself, and my wife, to drive 3 hours round trip to photograph it myself. It is stunning. Good luck on your trip, which has most likely already completed. Bantry House, near the bottom of the country, is also great for photos.
You and Gavi Hardcastle are just not to beat.... "My Hasselblad ist green...." Great video again and amazing shots despite the terrible weather - thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing, and for your dedication to still presenting the 617 club whilst out in the field. Loved the sea stack image, the choice of shutter speed and subtle editing was spot on. The banter with Gavin was a hoot. I’m Intrigued to know about the longer exposure, you mentioned 30 seconds. I’ve previously tried blending a fast with a long exposure but found it difficult due to the blur caused by elements in the frame moving within the long exposure.
Incredible storying telling and visuals, im not landscape photographer but man seeing these images and stories coming from them makes me want to try and step outside from my wildlife into your world. that camera is bananas
A pleasant surprise seeing the notification pop up. Glad to see the electrical issues was resolved quickly and definitely a good decision getting out Tom to capture that lovely image
Great video, you and Gavin crack me up, OMG imagine having just a plain black Hasselblad X2D and not the Earth Explorer Limited Edition, how could anyone be able to continue photographing stuff 😂👍
Many have already said it, but the flicking between RAW and edit at the end was really interesting to see! Also, the gavin bit was hilarious, thanks for the laugh
Hahaha, hilarious, that part with gavin. Guess the battle is still continuing 😅 amazing shot and I love how you shown the raw file difference. Grt guido
Just the one photo this time, but at least it was a great one! I loved the before and after images showing how much a little editing can elevate a photo.
Interesting. I have the same gazelle legs. Mine are spikes or pads I just need to screw the pads in to reveal the spikes or out to hide them in the rubber pads.
If you recall the old film camera zooms, the DoF scale was a graphic that went the full length of the zoomed in lens body covering each point of the zoom. And they actually extended quite a lot. These lenses don't extend sufficiently to provide that.
That sea stack was beautiful with all of the tonal separations in the rock. But what I really liked about this video was the way you socked it to Gavin.... twice! His appearance in the video really added a bit of good natured comedy. Last but not least, I can empathize with you on the weather. We are on the tag end of Hurricane Helene here and it been raining steadily since Friday night and is still blowing a misty rain today. The sun brightened up a couple of times but not enough to make a shadow. But in this case I am very thankful to get the rain. We were in the midst of a severe drought and needed every bit of moisture we could get here in Middle Tennessee. Unfortunately it has caused sever flooding in the eastern part of the state.
If I could afford that Hasselblad X2 Earth Edition, I would have it. I’ve been a Hasselblad fan since they took them to the Moon. It probably wouldn’t improve my pictures, but it’s the engineering and tactile looks that I love.
What a wonderful shot, all you had to go through to brave the elements to get it full empathy. The bit with Gavin Hardcastle made me giggle. My Siwash sea stack painting is Western Canada and now he is in Eastern Canada. lol :)
Another good outing despite weather.. Perfect tag on fototripper for missing out special edition camera.. will be looking forward to more Hasselblad content.
i made a complete 10 day roundtrip in Ireleand in 2018 from Dublin south to Northern Ireland and back to Dublin. mostly on coast and Wild Atlantic way. it was awesome. got cool photos
For half second stabilisation on on windy weather.... I often put the tripod low as possible...I use tent peg with a piece of string and this keeps the tripod steady ....bags on hooks font work
Absolutely wonderful video and image of Downpatrick head! I love it there! That is indeed one fine camera and would make anyone jealous, regardless of the colour 😅
You should do a video about photographing northern lights with the Hasselblad 501, and thank you for more content and remember we watch you content because we enjoy you
I just got home after shooting in the rain and watched your video. I have a similar problem getting out of bed. Most times it is my bladder that forces me out of the sack. I enjoyed the video and as always great images. Oh, I had a hardy laugh with your bit featuring Garvin Hardcattle.
Everyone is having major electrical problems with vehicles in Ireland 😄 look how many cars have one light beam! lol. Welcome to Ireland Thomas and enjoy the (wet) show!
I'm right behind you. I'm headed out from the states to Ireland for a month in mid-October to shoot along the entire coast, and I'm guessing it will be the same only considerably colder.
What about Adam and Nick? Only seems fair they should be camera buddies as well... love the sea-stack shot btw, well done peeling yourself out of camper to get that shot!
The blown fuse is merely a symptom of the fault with the lights, a fuse doesnt blow for no reason. There's probably an underlying wiring issue thats causing it.
While I'm happy for you that you received the Hasselblad as a gift, I just can't relate to that because it is something I can't afford. I relate better to your Nikon Z8 and would love to see more images with that especially wildlife. Thank you!!! P.S. even if by some reason someone offered it to me as a gift I would have them gift it to someone else as it is way too heavy for me.
Absolutely love the order you did it in at the end, raw file first, then edited version, then flicking between the two. That was grand.
Glad you liked it. It shows the edit nicely 👍
You must be new to youtube photograpers
@@mrsusan893 you must be new to this channel.
Ansell Adams would approve!!
@aarondcmedia9585 New to this channel? Only 3 years so yes I guess so. the last few videos ago, Thomas was showing the edited first, and raw after. He has switched this time which is more in a logical order and the flicks. So he didn't really do that before.
Green!!! Tundra brow...GREEN!!!!
Don’t worry, Gavin. Tundra Brown is Swedish for Baby Poo. Black is king.
Gavin, it’s always a joy to see you with that humor. Wish to see you more often with Adam Gibbs and Thomas Heaton. Wish you the best !
Very nice video as always. Also LOVE IT the funny part with Gavin 😂❤
Yeah me too! 🤣

The "Green?!" echo got me laughing haha. Was a good one!
Lol, glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing nice to see the raw file then the edited file

Didn’t think I’d ever feel second class owning a black X2D. Thanks, Tom…
Great video!!! Your sparring with Gavin is funny and priceless!!!
Its nice that you have a photographic mate; so warming and supportive .

I can't believe I predicted that Gavin would be green with envy. Haha. Fingers crossed for better weather to come your way Thomas.
He's actually tundra brown with envy I guess 😀
10:32 Fabulous image, love the clouds above the horizon, thanks for sharing
The sea stack image was very beautiful - excellent choice of shutter speed.
Love your recent videos. A couple of us gather round when we know a video is out. Before and afters - Superb.

Hi Thomas! Thank's for one more lesson! I always learn a lot from you. And thank's also for the hilarious moment! Have a nice sunday.

Poor Gavin 😂🤣. I love the recent addition of RAW file first, Edited second. It gives me hope 👍🏻
Did an Ireland bike tour last year and Downpatricks Head was my favorite. The force of these waves was insane. Especially at the caves nearby.
Thanks Thomas! Was there last September, an awesome place and it is sooo windy!
You and Gavi Hardcastle are just not to beat.... "My Hasselblad ist green...." Great video again and amazing shots despite the terrible weather - thanks for sharing

Oh my goodness, you guys make my day! I would love it if you all would do this more with each other! SO FUNNY!
Very funny ending! Love the image too. Proof that weather is one quality of photographic opportunity to embrace.
Good to see you two are linking up again!! Always fun
Incredible storying telling and visuals, im not landscape photographer but man seeing these images and stories coming from them makes me want to try and step outside from my wildlife into your world. that camera is bananas

We were all given a bonus in the form of an unscheduled Sunday edition from Thomas.
What a stunning shot Tom, was great to see Gavin on here. ❤
Gavin shade, lol! Always fun when you two collab. Missing seeing that Nikon. :P
Lol. It's only been a week. Don't worry, the Nikon is going nowhere.
Ending is satisfying seeing Gavin’s face 😂
Great video, you and Gavin crack me up, OMG imagine having just a plain black Hasselblad X2D and not the Earth Explorer Limited Edition, how could anyone be able to continue photographing stuff 😂👍
Really enjoyed this. The bits with Gavin funny as ever and appreciated. : )
Didn't expect the funny part at the end, but i quite liked it!
That seastack image is great - thanks for taking us on your trip
Many have already said it, but the flicking between RAW and edit at the end was really interesting to see! Also, the gavin bit was hilarious, thanks for the laugh
Enjoyed the video as usual.
Certainly extreme weather like we had here in Devon.
Great shot of the Sea Stack.
Look forward to the next one.
Oh the shenanigans with Gavin never get old! 😂
Bad weather makes great photos
Hahaha, hilarious, that part with gavin. Guess the battle is still continuing 😅 amazing shot and I love how you shown the raw file difference. Grt guido

@4:22 !!!! I almost spit out my coffee. You guys
Interesting. I have the same gazelle legs. Mine are spikes or pads I just need to screw the pads in to reveal the spikes or out to hide them in the rubber pads.
"bad" weather, are the best photo weather, Thomas. You know that! 😲😁
Nice, Great shot of the sea stack. And nice convo with Gavin.
If you recall the old film camera zooms, the DoF scale was a graphic that went the full length of the zoomed in lens body covering each point of the zoom. And they actually extended quite a lot. These lenses don't extend sufficiently to provide that.
Love the 'Skit' at the end lol
Love Gavin and Tom's skit. Landscape envy.

Gavin is class, great photographer and a good laugh too!
Great photo in very challenging conditions. As for Gavin.... Gerrim Telt.
In the wind you could lower the angle of the legs to get a winder base. it would help mitigate some of the wind wobble.
Haha. Love the phone conversation. Good video. I’m looking forward to the rest of the trip.
i made a complete 10 day roundtrip in Ireleand in 2018 from Dublin south to Northern Ireland and back to Dublin. mostly on coast and Wild Atlantic way. it was awesome. got cool photos
Cracking shot Thomas, worth the trip out eh! As my 12 year old son would say "you roasted" gavin on your hassleblad camera comparison
For half second stabilisation on on windy weather....
I often put the tripod low as possible...I use tent peg with a piece of string and this keeps the tripod steady ....bags on hooks font work
Love the comic relief at the end!
Absolutely wonderful video and image of Downpatrick head! I love it there!
That is indeed one fine camera and would make anyone jealous, regardless of the colour 😅
You should do a video about photographing northern lights with the Hasselblad 501, and thank you for more content and remember we watch you content because we enjoy you
The colours in the image went so well together, loved it
Excellent video. I like what you did at the end there with the phone call lol.
Your videos are certainly getting better. Chears
Oh: One shot, two skies?
Magic!
The swell is great! Use. Short shutter speed & maximize the storm!
lovely photos, lol you and gavin
Nice shot, worth getting out of bed for👍🏻 Always good to get one up on Gavin
I wouldn’t care which color the camera was😂
Thanks for making the sponsored part fun to watch!
I just got home after shooting in the rain and watched your video. I have a similar problem getting out of bed. Most times it is my bladder that forces me out of the sack. I enjoyed the video and as always great images. Oh, I had a hardy laugh with your bit featuring Garvin Hardcattle.
Not going to lie that I am a bit jealous of all of you having fun with your hassels...dream cameras
Everyone is having major electrical problems with vehicles in Ireland 😄 look how many cars have one light beam! lol. Welcome to Ireland Thomas and enjoy the (wet) show!
Do you need more than one light beam in a country where the roads barely have more than one lane?
@@peterebel7899 you do! so in complete darkness incoming vehicles or pedestrians don't think you are much narrower than you actually are 👍
I'm right behind you. I'm headed out from the states to Ireland for a month in mid-October to shoot along the entire coast, and I'm guessing it will be the same only considerably colder.
Another great video Tom. Stunning shot. Loved the ending as well, very funny 😂 👍🏻 keep up the great work 👍🏻
What about Adam and Nick? Only seems fair they should be camera buddies as well... love the sea-stack shot btw, well done peeling yourself out of camper to get that shot!
If your tripod has legs that can be splayed, it may help to splay them in high winds to improve stability.
Haha! That was a funny one! It would be fun to do something together and see if your bad weather karma is stronger than my good weather karma 😅
Agreed! It would be awesome to see you guys do something again.
Nice setup, just would hope the next iteration adds back video.
Lol you two are always funny together with those skits.
The phone call was hilarious XD
Epic ending with Gavin.
Love it! And 2 videos in 1 week…
Can you keep this up Thomas for now on?
Thanks buddy!! 😬
The blown fuse is merely a symptom of the fault with the lights, a fuse doesnt blow for no reason. There's probably an underlying wiring issue thats causing it.
That was our summer, you should see the winter.
Good to see Gavin again! Tundra brown!
Good to see the banter is still there 😂
Am off to Ireland next week. I hope you used up all the really bad weather… Love the videos.
While I'm happy for you that you received the Hasselblad as a gift, I just can't relate to that because it is something I can't afford. I relate better to your Nikon Z8 and would love to see more images with that especially wildlife. Thank you!!! P.S. even if by some reason someone offered it to me as a gift I would have them gift it to someone else as it is way too heavy for me.
You know, your tripod legs can spread out which gives so much more stability. Use long legs fully out at the sides.
Super cool upload!
Love a wee cameo from Gav 😂❤
That is one heck of a sea stack! Dun Briste. I shall have to Google that at some point.
