    Day 2 of my landscape photography trip, day 1 on the beautiful Isle of Harris. It was a rough day, I was tired and feeling unwell, but for now the weather held. I exposed 2 images on this day, the first of which I am more happy with than the second. Enjoy.

    As much as I love your photography Thomas, I have to say that your filmmaking ability is top notch and getting even better all the time - and you're doing it without a film crew or a helicopter.

    Nice message in your video Tom. The one other thing I would like to say is that "don't litter". I am sure all of us have seen rubbish in the remotest places... it breaks my heart. I recently spoke to a photographer who consciously carries a bag with him and keeps space for bringing back rubbish that he finds on the sites he visits. Lovely video... I love the first shot.

  • @Andrew_marr
    @Andrew_marr 7 лет назад +27

    It’s amazing what dehydration and lack of sleep can do to your state of mind. But despite all that, you persevered and continued your pursuit for an image. The images you managed to capture here are wonderful. The first shot was stunning with so many interesting elements, I imagine many photographers would have passed by this and not seen it’s potential. Wonderful work!

    • @ThomasHeatonPhoto
      @ThomasHeatonPhoto  7 лет назад +3

    This is so kind of you, thinking of next photographers don't ruining their future shots. So simple but it's great to hear it from you. I hope everybody notices that and keeps it in mind. Not only because of footprints in the sand, also not leaving trash in the landscape, breaking trees and branches, stepping on wild plants, ... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • @BrettStevens13
    @BrettStevens13 7 лет назад +1

    Fantastic Tom! Beautiful mages... You have definitely helped me with my own photography, as a beginner composition is always overlooked. You have shown that we must not always just capture the first thing we see but look for the best and most unforgettable ways of looking at the scene. Thank you Tom!

    I have enjoyed an evening of watching several of your videos and have found them incredibly inspirational. You have a great eye for the beauty of nature, a terrific personality and a wonderful way with words. And that is to say nothing about your photographic skills, which are exceptional. Thank you for sharing your passion for landscape photography with the rest of us Thomas in this way that really brings the wonder of it all home and makes us want to brave the elements, get out there and capture some stunning images ourselves.

  • @shanestark7709
    @shanestark7709 6 лет назад

    The first thing you said in this video about inspiration hit home for me. I live in the states, in the midwest , and when I look at my surroundings, I don't see anything worth taking a photo of , let alone having enough interesting stuff to make a video and posting it. I have plans to go to a couple of local places but when you look at what you and so many other landscape photographers post it seems futile to try it. You all have great skills which you have developed over time, with experience, effort, and talent. You guys make it seem so easy to do and for someone like me who wants to start out it sometimes feels like I will never get to a point I will be even close to producing anything like the quality what you and others like you have achieved. Sorry for the rant but your video really hit a part of me that I need to work on. Thanks for the video and all the hard work you do! I have a long journey ahead and I need to get off my butt and get out there and shoot. Thank you, and keep doing what you do, you are a inspiration for many people who would love to follow in your footsteps!

    I love the way you produce your content. The look, the edit and the music and the way you use B roll, ranks in the top of all the RUclips I watch. Which is a lot in the last 2 years recovering from 2 knee ops with lots of bed time and not much else. I'd love to see a video covering your non photo kit photo tips. Like the CD trick for beaches, or a shower cap over filters to stop spray, that kinda thing.

From a landscape photography hobbyist. . . Thanks again for your work.

    I love your videos, it essentially captures the reason I went into photography as a hobby. travel, see the beauty of nature and capture beautiful sceneries. I don't care to make money out of it, nor do I plan to but your videos capture the other side of 9 to 5. job. just ordered a tripod, and Lee filter system for tamron 15-30mm.

    Yes you are spot on. We have to just get out there and look for experiences to record on a camera of some sort to share (in my case) or just for the sake of getting out and about.
