    The 2nd snow leopard image where it was looking back over its shoulder towards the camera, and the pano from the camp. Simply spectacular.

    What a fantastic experience!! To see and photograph a snow leopard in its natural habitat is such a priceless gift. What a great memory for you!! Thank you for sharing it with us!

  • @drstavroseleftheriou1722

    I just LOVE the superficially “simple and minimalistic” images that have so many layers of natural beauty once one spends more than a second to appreciate and take it all in!

    Smiling when you were setting up to capture the snow leopard...still smiling now, awesome, that is why I do photography

    Snow leopards are beautiful animals. To see one in it's natural habitat and get some photos and footage is an amazing privilege for you.

    I appreciate that so much more work went into this video than I can realistically imagine. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to you, Thomas, for your dedication to your craft. Your hours of toil, distilled into videos like these, are really a treat to us who watch you and wish we could get out and pursue our photographic passions with as much opportunity, zeal, and expertise as yourself. I can't help but model my aspirations for my future and continued photographic career after your example. Please do not stop.

    Thank you Tom - so grateful that you take us on trips like this, something that never in my wildest dreams I could do personally. And that Snow Leopard - just magnificent!

    I'm happy for you Thomas. I was born not far from Mongolia and I had the same feeling when I was in your neck of the woods in Snowdonia.

    That superb first Snow Leopard 🐆 image made the pastel colours of the landscape shots pale into insignificance.

    Went there in '91, we went deep into the back country on horses from our camp. I still talk about the trip to this day.

  • @trevhill952
    @trevhill952 4 месяца назад +4

    From Spain to Mongolia, what a life. Congrats Tom, you are living the dream. I think those abstract landscapes look dreamy and very commercially appealing for super large prints in high end interior decor.

    My wife Dominique thought I was watching Tottenham on TV "oh my god" "you've got to see this Dee!" .
    Wow. I can only imagine that trying to put into words what you were seeing , smelling , feeling , experiencing was not easy.
    Big , spectacular , empty and wild are words that come to mind but no doubt, don't do it justice.
    Fantastic.
    Worth the wait.
    The pictures were mesmerising 👍🏾

    Did anybody tell you before the Iceland wildlife shoot that rare animal siting shoots are one of the most "endorphin producing" experiences you will ever encounter... aka.. addicting!!! Now here you are, landscape photographer, going for it full throttle in Mongolia of all places... I would expect you, definitely, have no regrets about your expanded repertoire. Go for it!!! We all certainly enjoy living your experiences through your personal lens! Cheers!!!

    Hey Thomas, I was anticipating this vlog and you did not disappoint; your shots are BEAUTIFUL! From the wonderfully captured snow leopard shots, to the colored morning landscape pics, that seriously striking black and white shot, to those gorgeous abstract paint brush looking pictures, they are all such strong images. Including your previous awesome pier water shots, you with your Z8 are starting the year with spectacular compositions! I look forward to your next video. Thanks for taking us along on this interesting excursion.
