    As an Argentine, you have no idea how happy I am that you have known a small part of my country.
    And there are landscapes for all tastes: mountains; forests; waterfalls; swamps; Beaches; big cities; to the flattest desert in the world (and white). You have all those possible photos.
    And if you came to Buenos Aires, as a follower of your channel, I would really like to meet you.

    I like this: seeing three different perspectives of each day from you, Brendan and Greg on your photo workshop. It's really cool.

    I've learned a lot from you Tom, now is my chance to give back! In an automobile, in very cold wet snowy weather, to keep your windows free of all moisture; this is how: Fresh air, not recirculated, heat on, AC on, either Defrost and feet, or just Defrost, and of course fan on.

    Thanks, Tom, really enjoyed this video. The view of those mountains in the glacier venue was superb. It's a lot of fun following your adventures in Patagonia. Of course, I've heard what a fantastic place it is for landscape photograph, but I've never seen it like this-wonderful! Looking forward to the next one. Cheers.

    Thank you so much for sharing your video. I understand your happiness when you were there. I felt the same both times I visited the Perito Moreno Glaciar. It is one of those places that is so magical it can make you feel awesome even in the worst of weathers.

  • @lukek2872
    @lukek2872 6 років тому

    Superb image. I found it very hard to actually picture the Perito Moreno, given how limited the angle from platform is. But it was gloriously sunny when I visited it ... in November.

  • @ryanmadaris6940
    @ryanmadaris6940 6 років тому

    Excellent! I was at the Omculgee Nat'l Monument in Georgia, USA a few days ago, and my first instinct was to photograph the most common viewpoint, but after I photographed it, I realized there were many more photographs to be made, so I shot some lesser photographed areas and captured some great images.

    it's totally important to get your own perpesctive and views on a popular location. I like to browse Flickr and see what people have shot then I go and try to find something they haven't. makes for better photos!

    About taking not the iconic shot - I basically agree, but maybe you are there to enjoy the place and you'll create memories. So why not taking the iconic shot and than for sure as well the other shots as.

    Great video Tom :) What an interesting drive from Chile into Argentina. Scenery is just mind blowing. And that glacier is just unreal, I think I could stare at it all day. The noise it makes as the ice is calving is quite eerie but amazing too & quite a spectacle to see. Love the image you got, colours in the trees are superb & that soft light on those snowy peaks! Glad you're happy & having such a cool time :)

    Wow, that composition does looks like a Bob Ross painting, truly beautiful! I'm sure others have mentioned what I'm about to say and I know things change, but does anyone else besides me miss Thomas signature saying "absolutely stunning!"? I know others picked it up and were saying it, but it really is a Thomas saying and it just seems to fit best when he says it ☺. As always, thanks Thomas for the cool video and gorgeous picture.

      Literally sounds like thunder due to the acoustic of the mountains in the background. Other glaciers in Argentina aren't like that. Perito Moreno is special. That ice wall reaches 70 meters in heigth.

  • @johnsmith1474
    @johnsmith1474 6 років тому

    Getting stuck on built up viewpoints with numerous other shooters at a tourist location is my idea of hell, not even worth taking out the camera for me. What I am intrigued by is the workmanship attained with piles of filters and the Canon. I would expect problems like loss of contrast and color but Heaton is very natural with the filter rig. I imagine he can't see a thing in the viewfinder hence live view. To his credit even when the shooting is absolutely mundane I enjoy the storytelling. This is hard work and I sympathize with having to make something out of not very much.

  • @RamaSivamani
    @RamaSivamani 6 років тому

    Although I agree with looking for more than just the "iconic" locations. I think the idea of trying to be "original" can make your photos looks forced when you are purposely chasing that. I thinking instead of trying to be original be genuine. Make images that are genuine to your vision and how you feel. Some of them may not be original and look similar to other work and some of it will look very unique but it in either case will still capture images that are true to your vision. Love seeing your work!

    @pleatedskirt18 6 років тому

    Hi. Excellent video as always. One question, if I may be so bold? Could you do a video on your workflow? How you download, where to, onto what, where you keep them etc, how you catalogue them, how you get them into LR etc? It could be interesting for those who are competent photographers but come from a film background... PS. Sorry if I have missed one you have already done on this. Keep up the good work.
