  • Winter landscape photography in the snow. We didn't get much, but all it takes is a dusting to transform a dull location in to a winter wonderland. I take a series of images with my Canon 5D MKIV and discuss the importance of being intentional with your landscape photography. I hope you enjoy.

    It is heart warming to see you’ve got back your poetic self and the negativity has floated away on that wind. This is the Thomas Heaton we enjoy but I really respect your honesty. It’s important that true feelings are not bottle away. I love those snow dusted fingers out stretching and the monochrome works really well.

    I don't need help with gear or composition. What I need is to know that I'm not alone in the struggle of creativity - of wanting to be creative. Thank you, Thomas, for sharing your own struggles with us. I've recently started taking early morning walks - often before dawn - with a camera. Even though it's gloomy, cold, and gray this time of year, just getting out has helped to clear my head and make me feel so much better. I've even gotten a few nice shots in the past couple of weeks.

  • @britainthroughmylens

    I took that message personally. I’ve been stuck indoors for weeks feeling increasingly miserable, with the camera gear gathering dust. Tomorrow I’m taking the short stroll to the forest that I can see from my window and bagging some shots. You’re a rock in these terrible times Tom and I really appreciate your videos. Keep the faith.

      Out of interest, as someone who lives in a place as beautiful as the PNW, what do you think of the British countryside that Thomas visits in his videos?

    • @_stevenfoster
      @_stevenfoster 3 роки тому

      ​@@josephblackhall I enjoy watching Thomas shoot the British countryside, because I can see how he is in his element. His environment has become almost like a friend he knows. I have yet to visit Europe myself, but before I go anywhere else hopefully I can return to my family's home in Mexico. That feeling I think we all enjoy seeing in Thomas is how I feel when I return to my family's home among the jungles and beaches of Mexico and I know that is how many people feel here in the PNW about their peaks and lakes. Thank you for your question and best to you.

    You know, when you apologise to people, when you point out that people might not like it - "it might not be to your taste" - , you do yourself a miss service.
    All your regular viewers/subscribers , enjoy watching your new episodes/uploads.
    We like what you do!
    I personally always enjoy it which is why I watch everyone , 3 probably 4 times. The way you explain, view things differently, the advice you give. Your attention to the bigger picture (no pun intended) and the way you notice the little things (bubbles in ice etc). You think the same way as so many of us, but do what only you can.
    Who cares if someone doesn't like your channel - that's their loss! Being the humble man that you are, you want them to - that's the way you are.
    You can't please everyone. Enjoy doing what you want. I'll be tuning in.
    3 great pictures.
    The third one was epic.
    The way the light catches the spindly branches covered in snow.
    It almost looks 3D.
    Absolutely perfect in black and white/monochrome.
    Fantastic Tom.
    Hope you're feeling a bit better, you seemed a little bit more like your chirpy self this week.

    The black and white version of the snow dusted fir tree is probably one of my favourites from all your beautiful landscapes. It conveys the silence and peace of the moment.

  • @pixel2224
    @pixel2224 3 роки тому

    The first tree image, atmospheric and balanced.
    Second a masterpiece in composition, ghostly feeling, those fingers are reaching out, to do what?
    Imagination engaged.
    Brilliant results from what seems like a hopeless landscape.
    Thanks.

  • @brianmckeever5280
    @brianmckeever5280 3 роки тому

    I can't think of a video of yours that I have not enjoyed. There is always something to see or think about. Give yourself a break, let go of whatever you felt was lacking in the last two videos. Seeing pictures that make you happy and your process is why I watch. The images I might take at the same location or how I might approach a subject differently is the fun part. I enjoy your process and presentation. As Billy Joel said, "Don't go changin' to try and please me." For what it's worth.

  • @romiemiller7876

    When you've been out in the cold, windy rainy or snowy weather and you're getting miserable, it is SO nice to get back in a familiar, warm, comfortable home! Make yourself some hot chocolate or coffee, and warm up a cinnamon roll. That makes the whole day worthwhile, especially if you've gotten some good photos.

    Great advice Thomas, been laid off from work for months now and my peace has been pushing myself to go out everyday and get one image no matter what the situation is. I can't sit around the house and think about all the negative stuff going on, it will drive you crazy. One capture a day and it doesn't matter if it's a keeper or not, just being out and getting fresh air and exercise is a win in my book. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the video you'er also helping people cope whether you realize it or not.

    Up here in Canada, winter scenery is quite usual around this time of the year and so I encourage you to pursue snowy scenery, as it is often quite beautiful. The light of winter is even better in February, when sunlight is more abundant. The snow, the light of the sun, make for wondrous scenes. My best to you and a happy new year.

So watching your channel mixing the two is fantastic and your making me want to try some long distance walks and just making me fall in love with the outdoors again.

    Tom, when I am out shooting, I am so focused that I forget the troubles of the world and come away refreshed or at least less stressed. Your fir tree image in black and white is amazing. The depth, the hint of light in the trees behind the fir is wonderful. Bonus image is quite interesting, too. Keep the teaching and the images coming.

  • @RogerZoul
    @RogerZoul 3 роки тому +1

    I love how you explore photography while relieving yourself of the pressure that every image be great. I know a little about how that it feels, and how limiting it can be, that every image be great. Great images take time and effort and they don’t just pop up in front of the camera every time you point it at something.

    When I first began my photographic journey in the 70’s I did a lot of black and white photography. In the digital age I’ve moved away it. Seeing your photos today and doing some readings by Alister Benn, its time I get back into the black and white world of photography. Take all the “flipping” photos you want, I and many others will still keeping following, its not just your photos, its your character that keeps us coming back and back...

Although when I look back at some of them I may think, why. Yet still, I keep them. Some of my best shots have been photographed in this manner.

I would want a color print along with the monochrome because of the brilliant contrast with the snow on the green. The photo at the end of the “branchy” tree was so beautiful. It had such wispy, slight branches. Beautiful.

    Keep up the good work Tom, and I really love the snow on the fir branches, the kinda gradient happening from the snow cover front to the darker back of each branch is just so interesting to me... thanks for the great video!
