A Nice View Doesn't Make a Great Photograph
Вставка

- I get in my camper van and escape for a couple of days of landscape photography. I climb a nearby fell and photograph the mist as it descends over Derwent Water, however a great view doesn't always mean a great photograph.

A couple of times I come across something on youtube, maybe the filmaking, maybe the personality, maybe the tone or the scope or whatever, but that after watching I'll sit down for a couple of minutes, turn autoplay off, and just enjoy the way it made me feel. This was one such occasion, thank you.
Poor composition. Cliched subject matter. Lack of technique. Ham-fisted editing.... Well, that's enough about MY photography. Your's, on other hand, is inspirational. Your videos are a fantastic peek into your creative process. Long may you keep making them.
chuckwalla I'm humbled by yoor perfection. 😉
lol, for a second there I was like, what a dick, rofl...... Hey, keep clicking away, and eventually you will get there..... Thomas has a keen eye for those landscapes, you just need to find that subject that makes you feel special
drink a little less soy
@Nikko you must be fun at parties
I do enjoy your relaxed style and the way you share your enthusiasm as you search for a photograph worth taking. Your choice of music adds to the relaxation and inspiration I get from watching your videos. The perfect way to end a day for me is to wind down with a cup of coffee and your video of the day. Many thanks.
A love your genuine and honest filming, even leaving in the camera falling over! Sometimes the conditions are in your favour, sometime they’re not. so inspirational!!
That's very kind, thank you.
The amount of effort you put into your b roll footage is incredible. Terrific landscape images too - you really made the most of the super light and superb conditions and landscape.
Thanks a lot.
Agree, love some of the drone shots too
Cup of tea, 6pm.....chill time with Thomas Heaton :)
One of the best episodes from my point of view. You can literally feel the fun and harmony between Thomas and Simon but also the deep concentration and the excellent results.
Thonas, I've been watching your video all the time, but I do love your local photograph travel and your coherent pride for your photography.
As well as being informative and engaging, Mr Heaton, your videos are just so therapeutic! Excellent for calmly de-stressing and being at peace with the world. Thank you.
I admire your restraint in not cursing profusely whenever your tripod falls over. I sadly lack such restraint.
(Lovely photos too)
Ha. The magic of editing.
Fascinating. I think what's even more amazing than the photos is having the context of the photo taken. On its own the pictures are gorgeous, but like any other Google pics, with context they gain so much more depth and beauty. Thank you
"F11, take the image..." And then the Photo turns amazing. I wish it was that simple..
Well the photography part of it is really that simple. Finding those stunning locations and at those locations finding great compositions is the hard part in landscape photography. And, this video shows once more, you need a bit of luck too because we can't control the weather. But that's the great part about landscape photography. It is hard but when it all comes together it is so rewarding.
Going out there in the elements...and having a motivation to do it everyday is what separates Thomas Heaton from others. Camera basics are simple.
True.. learned a lot just from seeing his adventure to get that pic. Steping up the landscape game 🤙
you would learn a lot ...and I mean really if you learn to appreciate. Tell us what you have got and then we will talk Moron.
Whoa.. what's with the hate at the end man? I really did appreciate his work. I was just saying how great it is and I was hoping I could do the same. Means more work for me. Sheess..
Once again your videos are top notch quality. When there's so much trash on the internet, its great to see someone like you leading the way in terms of content. You're a real inspiration to get outdoors, Mr Heaton.
I have to admit that you are selling me on the idea of a camper van.. Oh boy, I want one!
Great video Thomas. Love the images and as usaual i concur with your statements. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Thomas, no need to apologize for "taking the shot first"... After all, that is what you are there for and why I/we enjoy watching you work.. !!
5 mins 13 seconds in is exactly what I feel like when you see a shot of a lifetime, That's what it's all about. Great capture Tom.
This is mind blowing image ... i have almost cried for how gorgeous this view is ... you're so lucky .. i wish I'll go there ... great video too thank you for sharing this experience with us
As an ametuer photographer I just love to get out with the camera, hike around and enjoy the fresh air here in Donegal. I don't watch much TV, just reviews on photography gear on UA-cam, I came accross your channel and I love your shows, views, your gear, the music, the way about how you see things in a relaxed way. Your photography is amazing, I hope you keep making your videos on here, it's so chilled out, I shut myself away from the world and watch your shows for an hour every evening with a wee cuppa tea. Fantastic work!!! Keep it up.
Keep on rocking! Your videos are the only ones that i watch when they pop up every time,and i really enjoy them!
This has become my favorite UA-cam channel over the past year. Always inspiring and great to watch while unwinding before bed. Keep taking those stunnin' images Thomas!
I really love your work. And the videos themselves are so soothing with the peaceful, slightly melancholic music and the views. For example right now i woke up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep again so I fired up YT on my phone and saw your video. The background music hit the spot perfectly. Good job.
Your passion and refusal to accept anything less than the highest quality is a real inspiration. It's made such a difference to my own approach to photography - thank you. Another brilliant video.
I'm so glad to see your channel grow up, I've followed you for almost 3 years, before you announced one of your "dreams" of doing a tv show, and when you were only having through time the same amount of viewers on your videos as now you have when it has passed just 5 hours since you uploaded them... keep the work! I don't care if you are sponsored, I don't care if you sometimes your videos don't get the image you are looking for, or if you use the same music you used to put years ago... watching your videos is relaxing and I know that the people that follows you think the same, and yes, it also inspire!
Honestly, even the title of the video makes me feel better. I frequently was frustrated with myself when I was in Colorado last summer in the midst of beautiful mountain views but couldn't find a good composition. Definitely a good thing to keep in mind.
TV on mute, iPhone 6S Plus in landscape mode, 3 hours just spent photographing a couple’s engagement photos here in Houston, TX, about to prep dinner (sous vide rack of lamb, roasted potatoes and broccoli), yoga this morning; and, watching this video was still one of the highlights of my day. Such a great storyteller! 👍🏻
The word WOW becomes meaningless with this constant level of wowiness. LOVE the pic! Thx so much for sharing!
This is the video style of a day out with Thomas Heaton that I thoroughly enjoy. Love the camper van, by the way!
Man I find watching your content so soothing. Appreciate it brother.
So glad I’ve found you, even though it’s a midnight. So calm, so peaceful and beautiful image and speech! Separates me from the noise and rush. Thank you!
Subscribed!
Just illustrates the landscape photographer’s challenge; that the light can’t be commanded and if it doesn’t happen then you have to accept it. The other lesson you have demonstrated perfectly, Thomas, is that when the light does happen, you just have to go for it. Another genuine, highly engaging and watchable video.
Your reaction to capturing that fleeting light moment makes me happy. Thanks for that. Good light Thomas!
Man I absolutely love these videos. I'm new to photography and you really inspire me to get out of the office and into nature. I also have found some amazing music in your content. Dont ever stop:) plz
You sure do a great job with your vlogs. Right down to the very end. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching!
Another video that makes me feel good. Just taking part of your day, listen to you and take in the scenery. It's like swimming in a pool of tranquility.
Superb work again Tom, I bet even Chick Morris will like this one!😁
It’s great seeing you making use of the camper van, we need a “van off” between you and Paul G Johnson I think!!!!
Take care and stay safe.🍀👌
Working my way through a lot of your videos Tom. Consistently great. Informative. Great photography. Most importantly though, you’re a top guy. Keep up the great work man.
I truly have enjoyed all of your videos. They have helped me in my approach to photography and have found myself doing the fist pump when I capture "one of those" images. Thanks Thomas
That was such a great video! I enjoy your drone flight so much and your images! As I'm from the very flat Baltic Sea coast I enjoy such great views like you can have on your side! Thanks for bringing your beautiful world into my one!🙏🙏
Another great video Thomas. It’s the little things you teach that is so helpful. Like set tripod so it’s steady and stable. The b-roll is awesome (taking lessons from Peter !) can’t wait for the next one, cheers 🍻
I don't follow much on UA-cam, but I've come to LOVE your channel! Always fun to watch, inspiring, stunning photography. So a big thank you for these videos.
The attraction of the lake district has always been evident in your vlogs as the views and image you share never fail to impress. Great to see the campervan feature more as well :)
So happy I found your page on UA-cam. Your workflow really inspires. Thank you so much for sharing your craft. Cheers.
Absolutely amazing video and stunning photographs! It makes me want to leave, travel, and take pictures right away...
Glad you didn't bump your tripod whilst standing on top of that precarious rocky outcrop...all I could see was a couple of grand bouncing down the mountainside. Loved you first image in this video mate, well done.
I always fear you‘d miss the scene while you are explaining your settings to us...😅
So „the shot had to come first“ was a huge relief to me this time.😄
Wonderful two shots!
I really dont know why, but this was such a beautiful video. It was so calm and friendly and it just made me smile and happy. Thank you thomas for just making my evening a bit better than it already was :)
Honestly watching your videos inspire me because of the amount of time no effort I see behind everything you do. Most people have someone else or rely on others and this guy is literally out here doing this setting that tripod taking videos,of himself all over the world this is amazing I'm inspired I've always loved photography and traveling and not many people understand but the. I watch your videos and see your pictures and I'm like YESS this is why
Your work is truly beautiful. I'm so glad I purchased your 2018 Calendar and have it hanging on my office wall. Please keep up these terrific videos; you are very gifted and have an incredible eye.
The shot needs to come first, ALWAYS! Good stuff...
seawildearth photography threw glass
Landscape photography can’t get any better than this!!! Amazing work Thomas
You’re channel is becoming one of my favorites for photography. Great videos, keep em coming!
You extremely inspire me in my hobby🤗 thanks for that.🤙
I was shouting at my iPad for you to get the shot and you nailed it. A great video Thomas and amazing photos once again. And you have confirmed something for me that I also put into practice; if it’s not the shot I’m after (composition) then I just admire the view instead.
I had a moment at work to watch your video during a stressful day at work. Thanks mate, love your relaxing style, loving your inspiration. Brilliant work.
This has to be the most enjoyable photography video I've ever seen, and I've watched thousands. The scenery, presentation, videography, and music are all outstanding. Subscribed!
I miss UK and admire it through your work. Love this simple and intimate approach of yours.
Thomas, you live a charmed life! I love your channel and appreciate that you continue to do it...thank you so much for your hard work!!
The sound of your voice and calm demeanour is pleasing... Can we get a 4k upload of your content please?
That island shot is so beautiful.
I had to stop watching a wild card playoff NFL game so I can watch your video. These 2 images are absolutely Amazing!!
Sandcastle that is true
I'm glad I found this channel. Thanks for sharing so amazing content Heaton. Its peaceful to eyes.
Cool to see you catched in time the few sun rays and still recorded it for us. Also liked the drone shots.
Looks like one of those places that could be revisted several times for sure..love the ethereal look to the images.
Loved and liked as always Tom. I'm loving seeing your subscriber count edging ever upwards. Well deserved.
Amazing video, love the fact that you explain what you're doing and you're clearly amazing at it! Letting the viewer in to your caravan thing was the icing on the cake. You, Sir, have a new subscriber! :) Keep the content coming!
Love these videos. Beautiful images and I love seeing the process. Being there is more than half the battle!
This is one thing I need to get into my head! “Just because it’s a nice view, doesn’t mean it’s a nice photo” Great video as usual Thomas, been a subscriber for a while now but first time commenting.
Absolute ripper of a video as always Thomas, your content has inspired my own photography so greatly! Thanks for all that you do and heres to some excellent images!!!!
Amazing shots Thomas! Very nice to shoot in mist, I've tried this for myself few weeks ago and it was amazing experience. Wish you amazing shots in the new year.
Nothing better than a little mist in the mountains for changing up the perspective. The little island definitely makes the shot. Good capture.
this was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable videos Ive ever watched on YT, almost therapeutic.
Another gorgeously shot video Thomas! Keep them coming.
I'm amazed that you record, edit, and produce these vids all by yourself... Carrying around all that equipment is one thing, but setting up the 2nd cam, operating the drone, finding good angles, composing the shot; it's a lot of stuff to manage for just one person. Super hard work, super cool results.
Very enjoyable video - love the way you are so natural on camera and we feel like we are a mate joining you on your adventure
Thanks for making videos about your process; it is truly inspiring. Thumbs up for the nice camper too!
The island photo you did get was so pristine. Love it.
magnificent photos and some beautiful colors, heaton you are a genius !!!!!
That first image so simple uncomplicated and utterly stunning love the sepia tones
8:20 wow, I always feel your videos are so therapeutic. Awesome as always Thomas!
just came back home from 2 weeks in the highlands :) and this is just the perfect video for a soft holiday-ending! :) I realy feel the "picture-hunter"-feelings that you are having here with the light like I had the past days ;-))) great!
Another awesome video! My favourite videos by you are definitely on your turf...
Those images were awesome mate. Shame about the third! What a place tho! Wow! 😊👍🏻
Drone shots + camper gave me goosebumps! so beautiful
NEVER loose a shot, for the sake of keeping the video running smooth Tom. You can always reshoot a video, but that light may never happen again.
Keep up the great work buddy :)
So addicted to your videos 💖 amazing work heaton!
As always an inspiration listening, watching and tagging along... One of the nice things about watching your videos and the way you work is that I always gain something. Either I learn something new technique -wise, or I gain in insight, motivation or just relaxation. I won´t rant on about the superb quality, the spot on humour and everything else I enjoy. I´m on to the next video to get some more...gains. :)
I run into this problem quite a bit. I know that sometimes there just isn't a photo there to take even though you have a nice view but it can bring me down sometimes. Another great video bud!
love the drone shot going around you on the rock. so beautiful.
What a delight to watch you hike! Love nature
Amazing as always Thomas! I love the drone clips!
Absolutely mind-blowing! one of your best videos man.
Fascinating vlog to watch Tom as always :) Your thought process & vision for your composition is incredible. Love the images, they're superb! And your patience is admirable waiting for the right light for that last image which sadly didn't happen. But so interesting to hear how even though it was an amazing view, you weren't inspired by it without that light to capture it. Love that. :)
love the bit where you dashed for the shot! a cracking vid and that misty shot was awesome!
That first shot was just... 🤤
So much atmosphere and simplicity, yet so much to look at!
Whenever I'm lazy to go outside and photograph I always watch your videos for some good motivation!
Me. Heaton, I am constantly learning from all the content you put out. Today’s takeaway is something I must have subconsciously learned and not realized it until you expressed it. Far more than in my beginning days, I find myself looking through my viewfinder, finger poised on the shutter release and then not taking the shot. Oh I still take as many photographs but not as many shots.
I am learning to really take an honest look at what I see and ask myself “does what I see actually excite me?” “Does what I see ignite anything in me?” If not, if I lack passion for the shot, there is no need to take it.
Thank you for helping me grow.
funny enough, the drone shot of you standing on the edge of the mountain, that's pretty awesome :D, packed with emotionals, drama and mystery ;).
Hey Thomas, you're like a photographer monk... Your vids are so calm and Serene.... Thanks for sharing those silent moments....
The two pictures you took were awesome! I loved the sepia toning you used. At the risk of being a one-idea commenter, the combination of the green bush, the magenta heather, and the white fog over your shoulder at 4:00 looked like it had potential.
Awesome Video - with my luck there would be garbage in the lake and tons people fishing and wave riding around. Love it
Man you got some good ones on this one. I didn't have high expectations when I first saw the weather but you did very well. Inspiring
