  • Landscape & wildlife photography in Svalbard with the Nikon Z8. In this video I spend 10 days sailing around Svalbard on the Polar Pioneer in search of landscape photography and wildlife photography. We run in to a few technical issues with the ship and we encounter tough conditions as well as sublime conditions. We are lucky enough to photograph Polar Bears, Walrus & witness a rolling iceberg. This really was the trip of a lifetime. 10% off your first Squarespace website or domain: www.squarespace.com/heaton

    The bear playing with the stick or bone or whatever it was is just excellent

    Thomas really knows how to take us to an adventure. He's the Bilbo Baggins of photography

    I found myself choking back tears watching the polar bear playing and the beluga whales, what an incredible experience. The photography was stunning, too. Terrific stuff Tom.

    First off, that polar bear segment with the music literally brought tears to my eyes!! Quite honestly, one of the best cinematography pieces I’ve witnessed!!

    I’ve been watching many UA-cam Togs for years (including Thomas) and this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. So expertly put together, it was like watching a BBC documentary. Well done lad. Also good to see you comfy speaking on camera in front of others.

    Thomas, perfect recap of the trip. From the excitement of leaving port the first evening the low of waking up a few days later back in Longyearbyen and then the recovery and high of the bears, the plunge, the walruses and much more. You've told this story so well and I'm so honored that I was able to experience it all with you and all the passengers. Well Done!

    Wow! Despite the video being 40 minutes, I didn’t want it to end! Fantastic images and a great adventure

    This is why I love your channel. Fantasic photography (dare I say your wildlife stuff could be a new series) along with epic cinematography. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.

    OMG!! Thomas this was total magic. Watching the bears in their naural environment brought me tears. The bear playing with what l thought was its prey, a salmon maybe. Cats for instance sometimes throw a mouse or bird around before eating it. What an amazing video, and photographs. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience......Alioban

    Thomas woke up and decided to drop a video worthy of being a nature documentary with Nat Geo on us. I can't wait to see this and I hope you travel more this year!! Some of your best videos are when you go to far away lands that most of us dream of visiting! Hopefully the jungles of the Amazon or West Africa are on your list because there really is nothing like landscape photography in a rainforest teeming with life! I hope you get to see Northern Pakistan one day too! There really is nothing like it on earth. A place where the Himlayas, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountain ranges converge!

    Your epic long form adventure videos are some of the finest content on the UA-cam. Great video as always.

  • @nerrelloader4226

    Wow, what a journey. So glad the hiccup was only minor. You've come away with some spectacular photography. All your clients should have been extremely happy with theirs too! Wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

    There are times that I reflect upon the trials and tribulations of my life. I snap back to reality by acknowledging and accepting that if it were not for those trials and tribulations, I would not be where I am today - a very good place and state. So it was with your adventure .... if it were not for the "lost" time due to the engine issue, you would not have encountered those polar bears - an experience of a lifetime! Congratulations.
