    Haha! I can't believe you used that clip at the end 😂 I'm delighted we made the last minute decision to venture out and film in such magical conditions! Great fun!!

      I commented already that this had to be one of my all-time favorite videos from Thomas because of the fun, joy, and wonderful chemistry the two of you have. You should definitely plan on more collabs with him! (I also subscribe to your channel and enjoy your content as well, but this was a great example where 1+1=3.

    I love the throwback to the 90s with the VHS-esque filter! Even have the tracking effects going on... simply well done! Very nostalgic.
    Thomas - you are one of my favorite photographers thus far. I'm inspired by your approach to photographing landscapes. I'm planning on ordering your books soon. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air. The images you capture are fantastic reminders that our world is beautiful, despite being blasted with bonkers on the daily.

    6:00 for all it's worth I think even with the trail it looks beautiful! a little bit of imperfection, a hint that someone walked through there, I think it adds an element of storytelling to the photo, as compared to an untouched landscape

    Thomas, this was really an entertaining and educational video.

As a teacher, I appreciate how you put that together in a way that was fun to digest. Have a great week!!

My oldest daughter baby sat me yesterday afternoon and introduced me to your videos. As a geordie at heart even though we have lived in Canada since 1965 I got your accent in on episode and that tweaked my interest in your work. Having now seen quite a few you have given me a new lease on life and a new way of looking at landscape photography. Thank you so much.
