Excellent video! I've been enthusiastically following a handful of photographer UA-camrs for the last 2 years and this video is such a different and superb use of the medium: beautiful imagery, thoughtful but crisp editing, outstanding (and diverse) photos, subtle use of music and ambient sound, there's even a story there - and NO talking! Subscribed, and I can't wait to see more. Some days, videos like this are just what I need.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you like my work. And thanks for the sub. I hope I manage to make my next video between Xmas and new year. The city is calling again, so probably no landscape. Cheers
Excellent video and photography Thomas. Sorry such a nice change from the many other photographers talking gear or trying to teach us a lesson. Simple straight forward photography. And you live in a lovely place. Cheers from southern Georgian Bay Ontario Canada
Thank you very much Neil! The teaching channels can be useful and interesting, especially for newcomers. In my opinion, however, the learning curve will soon reach an end on this path and then the real journey begins: going out there with any camera, being curios, willing to experiment, photographing, photographing and photographing some more and thus finding the way to personal expression and creativity. What I really don't like are all the gear channels that mindlessly follow the camera industry's narrative that wants people to believe that new, "better" gear automatically leads to better images, which is the biggest fallacy in the photography world. These are the reasons why I limit myself to showing in a (hopefully) interesting way how and where I work, the resulting photographs and how I rate them. If I can spread a little inspiration that way, I'm more then happy. Where it gets really difficult without talking and I therefore sometimes miss it, is explaining the "why at all" and "why just like this". But maybe I'll find a way to somehow convey this using only visual language or I'll make more "image critique" videos. We'll see :) Bit of a wall of text, but your (and similar) comments have made me put my thoughts into words. Yes, I'm lucky to live in Switzerland and thanks to photography I don't forget the beauty of this country - which unfortunately can happen too often in familiar surroundings. Cheers
Thank you Kees, I'm glad you watch every video and that you're still around - because I noticed all your videos are deleted and I asked myself what happened?
Doesn't help for the "first 30 Sec." rate though, it's actually on the very low end. It's still a mistery to me, why some videos keep most people watching and some not.
Great location Thomas, I also went hunting for Fly Agaric this year, 3 years to find a location only to find them in a small wood opposite my house which I didn’t check! Have a great Christmas.
@@klausfunke8244 Vielen Dank für die Komplimente! Es ist schön zu erfahren, dass meine Ziele (Story und möglichst passendes Grading) so ankommen, wie ich mir das vorgestellt hatte :)

Nice video Thomas, as always. I don’t leave a comment on every video, but I do watch them! 😊
Thank you Kees, I'm glad you watch every video and that you're still around - because I noticed all your videos are deleted and I asked myself what happened?
Like your style so l subscribed!
Nice, thanks for the sub!
Beautiful intro video work! And great images too 👍
Thank you Brian! This time I put more thought into the intro than usual and it's nice to know that it paid off.

@@thomasrhinow eh whatever. I don't get why some people click on some of mine and then leave within 2s. It's not even enough time for it to load haha
Great location Thomas, I also went hunting for Fly Agaric this year, 3 years to find a location only to find them in a small wood opposite my house which I didn’t check! Have a great Christmas.
Oh no, 3 years and then immediately opposite? Murphy must have had a hand in that.
A great Christmas to you too, thank you :)
Du schaffst es ohne Worte spannende Geschichten zu erzählen. Das Colour Grading passt sehr gut zu diesem Video.
