Thomas, I rarely comment on RUclips but jut wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos and pictures. I have an A6300 that I dabble with only for family birthdays etc. When I fist got it I looked for content online and your channel and 1 other are the only ones I watch now. Every picture you take is stunning and your eye for detail is breath-taking. Thank you for everything.
Hello Thomas. We really enjoy the subtle changes you have made with your videos. Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change. Thank you for all that you do. 😎☺.
Those runs and the tailings of the slate quarry looked very interesting in the video - might have made good subjects. Ducks on a lake are never too distracting.
The ducks did something I didn't expect - they add more depth to that image because they're darker than the background shapes. The lone tree however is a real winner to me, it seems to be yearning for the light on the distant mountain. Great stuff!
I love a good ol misty morning, my memories from visiting wales is an hired M series BMW (free upgrade) tight roads lined with stone walls. and eating curry in the south of wales with hot chips at the beach on a blue sky day.
Beautiful photography! I think having the ducks in the image adds a good focal point and balances the image. Thanks for creating another wonderful inspiring vlog.
If you read all the comments you sure stumble upon some of my comments. I always praise your videos in the entertainment factor because it is one of the most well thought, and well made. You also noticed that i always try to be honest, respectfully but hones about the pictures, knowing very well these are video photography mot necessarily your portfolio work. Well I said all that to tell that I loved the photos in these videos, my favorite was the first one with the mist outlining one of the hills. 👏👏👏👏
Love the new thumbnail, to be honest I only noticed because I just watch the latest video and never go to your RUclips channel just get a notification. Looking smart I also have a delica I use around Scotland on my digging channel I just love all aspects of the outdoors... everytime I watch this I feel like loading up the van and disappearing. Stay safe and well and thanks for the videos..😎
Enjoyed that. I love North Wales. I bought the Photographing North Wales book just before Christmas as I know North Wales is a stunning place although I have hardly been there, so I bought the book for inspiration and to know where to go etc. They are all great books those Fotovue books. I went to Cwm Idwal and walked around Lake Ogwyn, up Devil's Kitchen. Got some nice Landscape images of there and Tryfan.
I have passed that spot so many times both on the road side and the far side and I agree with your first impressions, not much going on. I have never seen that lone tree so well spotted and well composed. I will keep my eyes open next time i'm in the valley with my camera.
I like warm & cozy! At my age, I have to have a really good venue in mind before I get excited enough to get out into the cold to go photographing. * The bushes can be lightened in Photoshop, especially in black and white. However, your square looks good, even though I seldom crop square. I like this one.
NOBODY does this better than you, Mate. You are in your element. LOVE that image! Can’t imagine all the effort and work that you put into producing these videos, Thomas. Cheers from a huge fan and Subscriber from across the pond! Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍👍✌🏻😀🇬🇧🇺🇸📷
Gorgeous photo compositions and great landscape. The balanced contrasts of your b&w photo fits nicely to the season's atmosphere. Interesting filter system, since I do always struggle with the thread and mount of my one, the magnetic mechanism seems to be quite an advantage.
Another excellent video, love the mix of mono and colour images, if I had to pick a favourite, shot number 1 closely followed by the ducks. Cheers Thomas and thank you.
Thought I recognised Llyn Dinas, walk there a lot when in Beddgelert as it’s wheelchair accessible. A beautiful place but looks even better in the conditions you got.
Yeah, don't forget the tripod! The first image ended up being just what I saw as the scene with the most potential when you started talking about it; a square image with the boathouse and fog layers where they were. Very nice! The lone tree ended up as expected as well. Nice. Just love your videos! So peaceful.
Just to let you know, you have a big fan in Brazil. Man, every time you surprises us with stunning locations and spectacular photos. Hope someday I can reach 10% of your level…🤩.
Wasn't quite sure with the ducks at first, just like your thought. But then looking at the final image, I must say they do add 'something' to the image and agree with your decision to keep the ducks.
Thomas,.. 6:01 That has got to be one of your very best images. Period. Stunning. As I was watching you prep the camera for the shot, I was thinking: "ND filter! ND filter! Blur the water!". I'm so glad you did! It worked a treat! ;)
Still can't understand how you manage to capture an image and vlog the whole process simultaneously, while weather conditions are changing every minute. I find this so stressful, but you seem so calm! First image was absolutely amazing!! And the whole video so beautiful. Oh man, you are such an inspiration.
That first image feels like a real transformation in the level of your work, Thomas. I'm biased because I am primarily a B&W photographer and I think all of the images today might be better handled in B&W, but the first one really felt like a step up to another level compared to the (overall excellent) work you normally produce. Well done.
That's the beauty of art: it is completely subjective. I myself really think every other image was far better and that this first image would have a lot of potential if it only were in colour. That said the B/W shot still is beautiful - the others are just way more pleasing to my eye
I have to say I've liked the 3 images here more than those in recent videos but hey, that's my personal preference and the photographer chooses what he wants to shoot. 16:9 for me is that 1:1 is for you so I liked the wider shot of the tree on your camera but the square crop is nice.
Hi Tom. I liked the first image a lot but think that the longer exposure time didn't help the mist - to my eye, it looked better on the video. I agree the lake ripples needed addressing so perhaps try a blend of the two but I know you're not that keen on exposure blends. Ducks were a must and loved the reedy shot near the end. If you're travelling around North Wales try the Dinorwig slate quarries. Gary Gough did a superb vid on that.
Good to see you take on snowdonia again. This time of year the light struggles in that part of Snowdonia due the close proximity of the hills and mountain's as the sun doesn't rise enough. Next time yer in this neck of the woods try the southern pat of Snowdonia, ( south of Bleanau ) more open, more natural and less industrial.
Gorgeous image. It always amazes me how you calmly talk to us when an image like that rolls in because you could so easily lose the shot while you chat.
The first shot is incredible!! The filter you put on (this is all in my inexperienced mind) smoothed the water , but at the same time gave it amazing light texture. Second, glad you left the ducks in. Again in my head , they draw your eye in and kind of give the photo layers. Ducks, trees, mist...wow.
Love photographing Cwmorthin slate works! Great place in the snow as well. Super contrast with all the discarded slate and old buildings. Top choice Tom!
mhhh now my mood is changed as well, no1 and no3 are my personal favourites. I see you often use the square option, good to see! You are influenced frome your Hasselblad? I'm lost in square since a long time too...your are an inspirational photographer and so much more. Wish you a good time on all coming up journeys
There's magic in b&w photography. Just like a beautiful woman doesn't need makeup, a beautiful photo doesn't need colors. Wonderfully captured moment.
My beautiful homeland which I miss.
Thank you for the exquisite pictures.
Thomas, I have been watching your channel for a number of years, I would say that first image is one of your best.!
Glorious, indeed. The ducks really did line up, literally and metaphorically.
That first image is genuinely incredible.
Love the ducks. They are spaced exactly the same as the three trees at the end of the promontory.
Thomas, I rarely comment on RUclips but jut wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos and pictures.

The image with the boat houses is a FANTASTIC (as you may say) image.
In awe of the skill on display in that first image. 😮
Hello Thomas. We really enjoy the subtle changes you have made with your videos. Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change. Thank you for all that you do. 😎☺.
Last image of the lone tree was superb! Definitely a square crop image.
Those runs and the tailings of the slate quarry looked very interesting in the video - might have made good subjects. Ducks on a lake are never too distracting.
Really like the first image. There’s something quite poetic about it.
The ducks did something I didn't expect - they add more depth to that image because they're darker than the background shapes. The lone tree however is a real winner to me, it seems to be yearning for the light on the distant mountain. Great stuff!
I'm glad you left the ducks in the second image. I think they actually anchor the composition. I love shots like that.
I really appreciate how you’ve always shared your camera setting and listed them at the bottom of each of your images! Thanks!!
I love a good ol misty morning, my memories from visiting wales is an hired M series BMW (free upgrade) tight roads lined with stone walls. and eating curry in the south of wales with hot chips at the beach on a blue sky day.
« I am getting high » and the little awkward look after had me laughing !
Beautiful photography! I think having the ducks in the image adds a good focal point and balances the image. Thanks for creating another wonderful inspiring vlog.
How has Tom not got to 1 million subscribers yet
A lovely set of images, and proves the adage being in the right place at the right time, is more important.

That Boathouse image is outstanding. Love it.
You went with the ducks! Fantastic! I really liked that frame.
Black and white for the first image was absolutely the right choice. Stunning.
Love the new thumbnail, to be honest I only noticed because I just watch the latest video and never go to your RUclips channel just get a notification. Looking smart I also have a delica I use around Scotland on my digging channel I just love all aspects of the outdoors... everytime I watch this I feel like loading up the van and disappearing. Stay safe and well and thanks for the videos..😎
Absolutely appreciate your video's - especially when you were filming with Norton. You two would make a great team!!
When a man knows his craft...That image with the mist turned out fantastic.
I like them all, but the boat houses is my favorite. Nicely done!
The black and white picture is my favorite.

@@simonkitchin1538 Welcome. It's a great book. Cwm Idwal is a stunning place! Can't wait for my next adventure and inspiration from the book.
F/11 HTN (Heaton)...nice plate! I enjoy the pace and mood of your videos - a good combination of talking and shooting. Thanks for another good one!
That first image is just sensational Thomas
I have passed that spot so many times both on the road side and the far side and I agree with your first impressions, not much going on. I have never seen that lone tree so well spotted and well composed. I will keep my eyes open next time i'm in the valley with my camera.
I like the first and last images the best. But what a beautiful place to go to.
As usual great photos! That lone tree will make a great form for a bonsai.
Great to see you getting your ducks in a row. Great vid and those quarries are amazing if you have time to explore
Three cracking images there, the grasses hmmmm. Thanks for another great video. Loved it.
Magical boat house image. Love the atmosphere

I'm not a photographer , but I love watching your videos! Big fan !!

Damn! You have a flow now!! Awesome picture and video!
Thought I recognised Llyn Dinas, walk there a lot when in Beddgelert as it’s wheelchair accessible. A beautiful place but looks even better in the conditions you got.
13:35 🎶 all the ducks are swimming in the water, falda-dalda-daldoooo, falda-dalda-daldoooo
It’s good to see you in North Wales. Love that place.
Would have loved to see that first image in colour. The amazing blue tones of the morning would be stunning.
Thanks for adding a little more detail of where you are, saves me spending most of the video trying to work it out 😀
Your photos never dissapoint
I'd say it was worth the effort, especially the boathouse scene, great sense of scale in that one.
Another excellent video!! The shot with the ducks would have to be my favourite!! Great work!!

The first and third images are my favorites.
Glorious shots as always Thomas. Love the reeds, by the way.
The duck bring life to the photo, like it a lot
as usual, good job really good work
I like the last photograph the most.... 1:1 crop doesn't look too tight that alone tree.
Still can't understand how you manage to capture an image and vlog the whole process simultaneously, while weather conditions are changing every minute. I find this so stressful, but you seem so calm!
First image was absolutely amazing!! And the whole video so beautiful.
Oh man, you are such an inspiration.
Your so in my stomping ground. Some of my favourite locations lol

Love the black and white image of the boat house... wonderful, the newest magnetic Kase filter system is brilliant, my next bit of an upgrade.

Really enjoyed this video. Llyn Dinas is such a lovely location. One of my favs in North Wales.
love how much effort you put into your videos. they're very moving and inspiring.
Love the one with the tree
Your films are so inspiring & peacefully awesome. 😊 Thanks.
Love that first black and white!
Those ducks really made the image come alive. Good job there.
Inspired once again. Thomas you are the best.
1st shot absolutely gorgeous 😍.
Great images. Absolutely loved the first shot!
I think of all your images, the boat house is my favorite. The fog definitely helps make the image and B&W is the right choice in my eyes.
Another awesome video glad you kept the ducks!
I've binged all your vids it's great! Your content is so chilled. Love it
Absolutely stunning images you got that day.
That first image was very good
I loved the image of the boat houses with the ethereal background.
Gorgeous image. It always amazes me how you calmly talk to us when an image like that rolls in because you could so easily lose the shot while you chat.
That lone tree scene had everything and more to make it amazing!
A worthwhile venture. 👍 🥂
one word - WOW!
I’m glad you kept the ducks.
I'm glad you kept the ducks. They give more life to the image and are perfectly placed to give more layers and depth.
Amazing images in wonderful conditions. Thank you.
The first shot is incredible!! The filter you put on (this is all in my inexperienced mind) smoothed the water , but at the same time gave it amazing light texture.
Second, glad you left the ducks in. Again in my head , they draw your eye in and kind of give the photo layers. Ducks, trees, mist...wow.
Four cracking moody images , great stuff man 👍
Hi Thomas, Thank you for this. Your methodology and tech knowledge is inspiring. Love the images, and your explanation for each. CHEERS!!
The first photo is gorgeous Thomas and both the square crop and black and white choice really made it.
Ah man! I wanted to see the first image in colour! I think the orange in the mountain and the mist would have worked so well.
Wonderful images Thomas , really enjoyed the video thanks
Love photographing Cwmorthin slate works! Great place in the snow as well. Super contrast with all the discarded slate and old buildings. Top choice Tom!
mhhh now my mood is changed as well, no1 and no3 are my personal favourites. I see you often use the square option, good to see! You are influenced frome your Hasselblad? I'm lost in square since a long time too...your are an inspirational photographer and so much more. Wish you a good time on all coming up journeys
Fantastic content as always Thomas, photographing Iceland by James Rushforth is another good guidebook! 🙂📸
