Such a wonderful story behind one singular image. This is what it’s all about!!! Thanks again for another great video.
Well !!! What can I say?
Another first rate job in the can. Loved the image. And the whole video has a professional camera crew feel. Tom you are a genuine artist. Don't stop doing this mate. Awsome, awsome, awsome.
Your final voice-over was PBS level good, which is fantastic. Great work!
Scott Waldron's Photography Banzai I agree. Wonderful!
A fitting end of year video, Thomas. You have combined photography with philosophy, craft with composition and added a bit of magic that takes us on the journey with you and makes it so watchable.
Nice, Tad. Very nice.
I think you are the best photography youtuber these days. Love your works man
Thomas, You're like the "Bob Ross" of Photography. So relaxing. So educational. So consistent. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Those closing words nailed it Tom. Brilliant series with lovely images. Thanks for sharing your experience with us 👍🏻
I am so glad I found this channel. Seeing Photographers go out and setup the scene, develop a story, and then take and share the final shot with us.. It really is one of the most calming forms of entertainment on UA-cam IMO. it really shows your passion and love for the art
i always get nervous when you say things like "the light is gonna be way to harsh in 2 minutes" and than keep talking for 1m30 😅
I think he takes the photo first and then he talks.
I do the same thing. I want to scream, "take the damn photo!".
Same, it would actually be interesting to see what the photograph would look like 2mn afterward, when the light is too harsh.
2017 has been a really great year for your channel, thank you for all the gorgeous content!. Feeling inspired to get out there.
Great message at the end Tom! Thanks for a great series in Namibia.
I found that the compositions changed throughout the day with the colors changing. I spent several days there with an all night astrophotography. You were lucky, in that each day we had at least 20 people to shoot around. You are right though going back several time you see things different.
Something so simple as a tree in the desert in front of a dune would be overlooked by so many, you my friend turn it into a work of art. Love your eye for seeing the light, for finding the detail. You are a huge inspiration. Cheers, Simon
I cannot express how much your videos inspire me, Thomas! I'm a hobbyist photographer and every time I feel uninspired, I just come and watch one of your videos. Boom, instant motivation!
10 years ago I got into photography because I wanted to take pictures of the beautiful landscapes that my family used to visit throughout my childhood. I've since gotten away from that and have been shooting a lot of concerts/events and portraits. Your channel has single-handedly inspired me to get back out into nature and get in touch with what inspired me to pick up a camera in the first place. Thank you for your awesome content, and I look forward to seeing more in the future!
Thank you for another inspiring video, your content this year has brought much needed cheer :) looking forward to what you will produce next year.
Lovely words at the end Thomas, I don’t have transport I don’t drive so I rely on public transport it’s hard for me to get anywhere but when I do get out be it a local reserve or woodland the feeling of freedom is overwhelming and it really does relax me immensely 👍
I love animals and Gorgeous shot and video. 👍👍Thank you a lot of! Thomas...., Good morning.
Great video Thomas - the bit that really did it for me was the point when you panned around and there really was nobody else there, it made it feel very personal in some way. And the photograph was spectacular.
Thomas, I was so moved by your video story! For years I’ve dreamed of visiting Namibia. You have inspired my imagination and fueled my desire to visit. Most important, loved when you said this is what it’s all about. I will simply say THANK YOU!
i loved your Namibia series. Informative, educational and entertaining. Well done!!
Tom! What a great message. Thanks for what you do and Cheers.
The journey Thomas gets us on during his videos is something nothing less than mesmerizing ...thank you mate.
I will use these phrases in my next photography book on Antarctica. Well said! “It is these moments and many others that I treasure so much. Exploring places unknown and stepping outside of my comfort zone. Photography is so much more than simply taking images; it’s about the people we meet, the places we see and the experiences we have”
The Brian Cox of the photography world. Well done.
Well done. Wonderful end to one year. Looking forward to the next.
Great Episode Thomas! You are so right with what you said at the end!
Fantastic story telling - will take your final voiceover with me on every shoot. Happy new year Thomas.
Fantastic video Thomas. Have a wonderful new year my friend, be safe and all the very best to you, oh, and thank you. Tony
This series was amazing. You’ve quickly become one of my favorite UA-cam channels to watch. While I’m enjoying going through all of your videos, the Namibia stuff was certainly something special. Very nicely done!
Just discovered your videos. I instantly subscribed. Amazing inspiring videos. You're able to deliver your experiences via your videos. Keep it up, I'm a big fan of your work!
Always refreshing to hear the enthusiasm you allow us to share with each adventure. Beautiful image and thanks for sharing your trip.
Incredible...in a very good sense.
Great series Tom lovely shots👍🏻 looking forward to your nxt series
Hi Thomas. This is very good advice and has come at the right time for me. I was disappointed with my photos from yesterday morning, even though i was up and on location before sunrise and there was a good layer of frost. It was my first time at this spot and so, inspired by your advice, I will return another time knowing what the light will do and hopefully get the image.
I really enjoyed your Namibia series Tom. Thanks!
Thanks Tom and a happy new year!
Thanks for inspiring us Thomas 👏
Awesome video and I loved the shot you scouted. Fantastic.
Those bucket-list moments are indescribable. I shot in the Rockies in November and will never forget those moments. I’ve actually watched my own videos a few times just reliving the experience. I loved your hunting and dunes images. Priceless.
You are great in storytelling - that´s why you have such many followers. It´s not about beeing the best photographer out there !
So wish the TV project can become a reality as you so deserve the recognition for all the hard work you put in. This is one of your top drawer series Thomas and been amazing to see your adventure over the previous weeks and feel 2018 will be an even bigger year for you.
Absolutely loved this series in Namibia! You never fail to inspire me to get out and shoot. Thank you, Thomas!
Wow, the little ending speech there... As others have said, great stuff.
A very lovely montage there in the end! :)
3:10 really brought my time in Namibia back to me. Such quite in a place is so beautiful and rare. Thank you 🙏
Best photography you tube vid of 2017 right here. Thank you for the reminder at the end. Brilliant Tom.
You did a wonderful job of keeping us with you on your trip. Some adventure and several extraordinary images. Thank you.
5:26 its the exact feeling i get every time when i go shooting and that is why i love photography
Each one of your videos make me feel so inspired. keep up doing what you love and I cant wait to see what you capture next my dude!
Thanks so much for your endless inspiration Thomas!
Thomas you are my favorite 💙
Great job Tom... can't wait to hear your take on Antarctica... I'm still in withdrawal ;-)
Beautiful and inspirational..i would love to get to shoot in Namibia one day. I would've loved to see a composition showing the tree and more of the sand dune aswell, so you could see the strong line of contrast between the sunlit side and the shadow side of the dune.
Thom thanks for all the inspiration in 2017!!..And thanks for teaching me to slow down and enjoy the moment in photography.Looking for more great stuff in 2018..:)Mike..Tampa,Florida
You once said to me that you didn’t consider yourself a wordsmith, it’s not the words you use but what you relay with your words. Amazing shot Thomas, hope you got your Christmas shopping in time. Thank you for taking us along on the amazing journey that was your 2017, and what a way to cap it off. I hope 2018 will be everything 2017 was and more.
Thank you Thomas....it was a great series. I enjoyed every post of it. Again thank you.
A great final video to round off your trip and one of the best demonstrations of the effect of a polariser I have seen.
The Namibia series will be missed! I enjoyed a lot, especially this last episode. Great work, Tom!
4 views when I started watching, 246 by the time I had finished. Clearly many people eagerly await every vlog from you Thomas. Happy new year.
Stunning! Such a good ending to your footage Tom! Such a good message to those just starting off or even those who have been doing it for years! Everyone should get out there, enjoy the world and go and do what you love the most! Keep it up mate.
absolutely lovely video and a wonderful ending to it as well - cannot wait to see what you bring in the new year
Gorgeous image and excellent dialogue Tom, perfect in fact!
Take care and stay safe.🍀🎄🍀
I share your sensibility regarding photography. Take in the entire and enormous experience!
Just managed to download your e book, one that can't be put down! Loving your enthusiasm and inspiration. Hope you have a fab 2018, looking forward to following your adventures.
cheers
tony
A beautiful image and another fantastic vlog throughly enjoyed, thank you Thomas.
Nice shot. I've never seen an L-bracket on a lens. That's a new one.
Absolutely inspiring and motivational words at the end of this video Thomas. Keep bringing is on your journeys and encouraging us to go your on our own quests. Thanks!
Thank you for this wonderful series I have really enjoyed being along for the ride. I have learnt a lot and have enjoyed your images very much, love the simplicity of them.

This is a quintessential Tom video and image. Really inspiring, can't wait for what 2018 has in store!
Thats is what Its all about Thomas! Love the reflection on the end of your vlog! Your an inspiring photographer man! Keep it up!! 💪🏻
In the second 48 there is a 10/10 frame with the tree just on the axis of the dune. I hope you have the picture, but there is already an excuse to go back
Nice outro speech Thomas!
Such an amazing series, and the voiceiver at the end just made it!
Lovely image - and such wise words! Thank you!
Really beautiful picture and encouraging end of the year video. Thanks for the awesome year Thomas, it has truly been an inspiring and learning experience! I look forward to watching your landscape journey in 2018.
lovely image Thomas, and well said at the end - that is why 'we' do it
Fantastic VLog and location Thomas love it! Absolutely stunning !
great content like always and you actually become a wise man! I would never be able to go to that place and take only one photograph, I would run like crazy to capture as much as i could.... and as a result none are coming close to your work... I simply wait for wisdom to strike me, one day...
A great video, fantastic image and a wonderful story behind..!
Fantastic words of wisdom at the end. Thank you. Happy Holidays.
Such an inspiring video! Thank you for this wonderful story!
So crisp and neat..
Wonderful thoughts to share at the end..
Thanks for sharing your experiences ,,great job ..
I must have been in Namibia at about the same time as you were and I have greatly enjoyed seeing the landscapes, animals and dunes again through your lenses. I was there with a group, not a photography one alas, and there was never really time to take all the pictures I wanted. But it was great anyway. The funny thing is that I often thought: Thomas Heaton should go to Namibia, the landscapes are phenomenal! He would so much enjoy them. And so you were. What a surprise when I got home, and searched youtube for your latest releases to find them be about Namibia! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and showing the making of.
Nice one, Thomas! Wondering what the next adventure for you will be, whatever it is, I hope to see more wonderful images from you.
I *L*O*V*E* this video. Both for the landscapes and the video by itself. Thanks.
Loved that video. Allways an inspiration. Lets make 2018 blummin' awesome :)
Awesome videos on Namibia!
A nice motivational debriefing. That's one of the reasons so many people follow you, you keep inspiring others to inspire :) Keep up the good work.
I would buy a t-shirt with the words "Absolutely Gorgeous" :)
Very cool, loved the outro :)
One of your finer videos. A bit of a moody mood, but given it was the last day, no wonder. I'm sure it was a special day! Well said towards the ending as well. Good job and a beautiful picture was rewarded.
Great conclusion to a great series of videos Thomas! A rather nice cap for 2017 - well done!
One of my favourite youtube photographers i found this year. keep it up!"
