A Landscape Photographer's Point of View

- In this video I photograph Dege Peak in Raineer National Park, Washington. Because of my faulty DJI Action camera, I had to purchase a GoPro which happened to come with a free head strap. This was the inspiration behind this Landscape Photography POV video. I hope you enjoy it.

I like this format with a Gopro. Simple yet effective and close to the Original Thomas Heaton.
QuarkCharmed brought back the feels with the vintage Thomas heaton thoughts.
I agree
Agreed
Definitely needs better audio though. It was painful to listen to for me. Uneven stereo quality. Kept going mono.
I'll add my agree to the list, audio not an issue for me :)
Welcome to the PNW Tom! It’s truly a landscape photography wonderland here from the basalt cliffs, waterfalls, and rolling Palouse of Eastern WA up to the high cascade peaks and over to the Olympic Peninsula 😍 Absolutely gorgeous
Daniel Esmond don’t give away all the secrets bro! Lol
@@molopez619 Haha. It's truly tough to grasp how much we have here just in WA state
@@danielesmond75 Guys shush! Lets not tell everyone...
This format actually let's us see quite precisely how you approach a composition. Very nice, you should a few more like these from time to time.
Continue whit videos like this. I love it. We all are there whit you, is amazing sunrise. Well done. Good job Thom.
As a Seattle resident, I’m overwhelmed with excitement to see you photographing some of the beautiful landscapes we have around! And super looking forward to the next videos here!
I love the POV style. Evan Ranft has been doing this for a while with street photography on his channel and it is an awesome way to do a behind the scenes style video.
Great video! Really enjoyed this perspective. It's one thing to talk about compositions after the fact, as well as sharing your thought processes when the shots were taken... However, this video allows viewers to see first hand what it is you are thinking and the considerations you are making. I am all for you incorporating this style of video in with you other videos! Thanks for sharing!
Honestly I like when you publish this kind of more intimate videos, with just you, your camera and the landscape in it.
You already imagined what the light would do before it happened. Truly a veteran photographer.
well with this kind of setting it's super important to know how the light hits because you just might miss the perfect composition while setting everything up as its happening
2 minutes in and I can tell you this is going to be the most helpful out of all of your already very helpful videos! It's not only about your POV, but you also present your thought process in detail here which is simply amazing to me! Thank you!
Kliment Trendafilov it really felt like I was inside his mind!
Moises Lopez Photography Totally! Which is what I’ve been missing all along to be honest, although it sounds kinda creepy that way. :D
Could not agree more.
Have been watching your uploads for a few months and love your content. Loved this, looking at the landscape "though your eyes" your commentary was brilliant, seeing you make decisions and explaining why, and also seeing the camera screen. Found it fascinating seeing you work, finding things you don’t like or don’t want and explaining why and how you get around them. Excellent! More like this please.
Nothing better than a mountain sunset! I enjoy your work and videos! Thanks for the awesome content!
I will never stop being amazed at how easy you make composition. Sure yer ontop of a mountain at sunset, however you take the pics most people would walk right by!
Hi Thomas great video. I would really like to see a follow up video on how you edited/blended that mountain shot at the end. Greetings Thomas
Me too, great shot.
Yes please!
That would be awesome to see!
In case Thomas doesn't do that, he did a video with similar light blending recently: czcams.com/video/UtUVsciC1Xw/video.html
A magical sunrise at 11:17. Beautifully captured. Yes I like the Gopro style as well. Plus it sets both hands free to take real photographs and reduces your risk of falling!
Very imaginative TH! A Heaton eye view of a shoot👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the best video to date according to me. It is so simple and yet highly effective. Feels like I am in Thomas Heaton's head.
Welcome to Washington! I'm a big fan and nice to have you in our state. With unlimited beauty here I'm sure you'll be coming out with more fantastic videos!
Thomas,
I very much enjoyed the POV perspective.
I'm glad you had the opportunity to visit the North Cascades.
I've traveled the world a bit, and never found so beautiful a place as the PNW.
If you're up to a high country Trek, hiking the Olympics from Hurricane Ridge near Port Angeles, WA south to the North Fork of the Quinault River will give you an amazing hike with many magnificent composition opportunities.
Thank you for all that you've taught me.
I very much appreciate both you, and what you share.
Absolutely beautiful sunrise
Love the way you keeping finding new angles and pushing yourself Thomas. And a stonker of an image too!
Nice to have the old Thomas back........totally enjoyable vid like they used to be (great location and how you composed and compiled the shot) 👍. The GoPro footage was a hit for me 👍. I had gone away but will definitely be watching again. Thanks Thomas.
Very nice to see the old school Heaton. I enjoyed all your approaches, but you seem so much more at ease this way, and we can feel it. Enjoyed as always.
So excited to see the rest of your WA state videos. You’re in my backyard and I’ve been searching for landscape videos done in my area. Can’t wait to see where else you explored!
I am impressed how the video/audio came out with the Hero 7, even with the sun in the background.
The camera on your head gives a nice immersive point of view.
Nice video Thomas.
Thanks for using my music True North in such a nice way :)
Tom! Not only was this video quite edifying in that we got to see your view as you conceived of and composed your shots, but you happened to be summiting a peak very close by Shriner Peak, don’t know if you saw the old fire lookout station there on your maps. I grew up hearing stories about my father’s summers as a Mt Rainier fire lookout on Shriner in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s. He passed away last year so I’ve been meaning to make a trip out there from New York. (He was in good company, apparently, as a Cascades fire lookout-Jack Kerouac included. Everyone check out the book “Poets on the Peaks” if you haven’t.) Anyway, needless to say, this video gave me chills in the best possible way. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much, man. Keep up the great work.
You can't imagine, Thomas, what an Inspiration you are to me. Thank you for all you are doing about photography.
Such an awesome video. Thanks Thomas. Love the perspective
Absolutely Stunning...... oh sorry... couldn't resist... but it really is!
Nice perspective Thomas! Can't say I like it better, nice to have a variety! Thanks for sharing
WOW, just WOW
Great way of showing us your way of thinking and how you take shots
Love Sunrise. Probably my favorite place in the park!
I like the POV shot. Nice to see lining up the shot and your thoughts come through much better. 🙌 Lovely video!!
I thank Yt algorithm for suggesting me your Chanel. Incredible is an understatement.
I like this POV.. it helps amateurs like me learn.
OMG! This is my backyard! And Dege Peak is popular (especially among Sunrise employees) for sunrise watch. One of my favorite images I created was of that same green ridgeline during wildfire season a few years ago - to cut out the smoke, I zoomed in on the ridge itself. It's a perfect view from that little peak. Looking forward to more of your videos from my corner of the world.
Great success, Thomas! As someone who loves hiking in the mountains and also in the process of learning landscape photography, this is the perfect format. Feels a bit like we can tag along and see some of how it's done. There's also a tiny bit of that mountain feeling, even viewing from home! Appreciate your content a lot. Hope you enjoy creating it and never forget to enjoy nature as you're doing it. All the best.
Just wow.
That ridgeline is amazing! I don't know if you will get to hike around Raineer (or did), but some friends and I hiked around it when we graduated from College. There's a bunch of pumice fields that would make for some great photography. Of course, this "first" video means you have already left, so I'll just have to stay tuned to see if you found that spot! Thanks for sharing your adventure again Thomas!
the POV is good too, gives a new view to the viewers
That was great! I love the head cam footage, getting us a Thomas Heaton eyes view. The photographs you took are beautiful. In my opinion there is no more beautiful landscape on earth than that found in the USA and Canada, so I am really looking forward to seeing other videos you have taken during your nine days there. Your adventures on that rock covered narrow ridge looked very dangerous though. Its a good job you are more sure footed than I am that's for sure.
Awesome! Such a beautiful place!
Just literally left Mount Rainier about 2 weeks ago...absolutely loved the area. Couldn't believe the colors and the views..
Subscriber from Washington. Cool to see you making videos in my neck of the woods!
I'm all for this point of view style shooting!
NRNP right in my backyard! Glad you had the opportunity to enjoy it. A breathtakingly beautiful place to be. Looking forward to the other videos from your trip.
Great job as always Thomas.
That was a gorgeous view at the end Thomas!
Amazing,thanks so much for sharing
Love the point of view approach to this video. It was also interesting to see how you surveyed the view in front of you. I should imagine that in reality there were images all around the peak. Please can we have some more like this? All the best.
Nice! Welcome to Washington! Hopefully the smoky conditions around this time here are not too bad this year.
Thomas you need to do more head cam shots gives a nice perspective, what a stunning location, you captured 2 beautiful images loving image number 2 please do a post edit workflow vlog on your second image🙏 another great mid week Heaton video 👍👍
Chris S so clever and unique POV!
very good video Thomas but couldn't help thinking OMG he's going to fall lol well done, this is why you are the... in my opinion THE BEST thanks so much for sharing cheers...
!! Just Gorgeous !!
Welcome to my neck of the woods! So much to see and do within a couple of hours of Rainier
I really enjoyed this perspective Thomas. I feel really engaged in the moment and feel what you are feeling!
My home mountain! Hope you enjoyed your time here!
Aha! So it *was* west coast North America. I was fairly close. If you think the view from there was good, you should see it from the top of Mt. Rainier (I climbed it a few years ago - awesome!). Good to see you back out this way, Thomas. Lovely shots.
It’s always fun to watch your videos Tom. Thanks a lot for sharing your view through your camera 😊
Excellent video and I like the different camera view too.
Fantastic video Thomas! As many others, I too really enjoyed the POV format. Also the music around 3:00 mark was editing genius, gave me chills. Absolutely loved the second photo, and great on you predicting that this would happen. You're such an inspiration. Thanks to you I've been really getting into landscape photography, seeing sunsets and sunrises I'd never see otherwise. Thank you so much
I barely missed you! I was up on that ridge for sunset on the 5th and stayed to get the Milky Way. I feel fortunate to live less than 2 hours from some of the best and most dramatic scenery on earth.
nice new perspective ! I also normally shoot in POV style on my photoshoots and on my photography channel videos. but i clipped mine on my backpack shoulder strap and using a neck strap sometimes.
I hiked to the top of Mt Rainier many years ago. Incredible experience for anyone with a sense of adventure!
One of my favorite videos in a while! Great shots, peaceful location, and great tips! Loved every bit of this one! 👍🏻
Great video Tom. I’ve been following along since the start and am a huge fan. This stripped back style is great, think sometimes the tech can get in the way of the essence of one man and his tripod on a mission to get the shot. Looking forward to more adventure films. Colin
1/2 mountain goat , 1/2 Bear Grylls, 1/2 Thomas Heaton !!
Wait, that adds up to one and a half person/goat
Well my neck of the woods, Thomas. 300 miles to the south anyway. Even so, had I known you were 'close' I would have driven up just to buy you a beer and spend an hour shooting the breeze with you. You inspired me to start my own channel so it would have been my pleasure. Come back some time - plenty around here to see. Also, did you stop and see Nick (Page)?
Welcome back Thomas
My family is going on vacation to mount rainier this Sunday. What are the odds! This hike is now on my bucket list.
God do i want this video to succeed just so it becomes a series kinda thing, just watching this before going to sleep, that'd be a bliss. I didn't knew i needed this kind of thing in my life, but dammit i for sure do. It's such a beautiful style nd so relaxing.
That last landscape image with the starburst is stunning.
Fantastic as always Tom! If you are headed South into Oregon at all we have a lot of great hiking and photo opportunities in the Bend area!
Yeah!
It was great to see everything from your perspective and your explanation of what you were doing was great. Really enjoyed it thanks!
Every time I go out to a new place to photograph and see a great view-- I remember one of your videos-- "A Nice View Doesn't Make a Great Photograph
."
That was the biggest thing for me-- coming to terms with the fact that you cannot possibly capture an amazing majestic view in a camera. You just can't do it-- but if you are paying attention and you have patience and know how to use sunlight, you can find an interesting shot that captures something beautiful.
The obvious play is to go for the mountain right? But it's been photographed to death and you didn't have the light or an interesting composition-- instead of trying to force it, you found yourself a couple lovely shots.
Thank you so much for sharing, I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them.
Really enjoyed this one. It’s so interesting to realise that your POV as a tog is very similar to my own (except for the location!)
Gorgeous Thomas!
Loved the video. I was in the same area last week as well. Incredibly stunning views everywhere with spectacular weather to boot.
My Rainier and a cup of morning coffee. A fine way to start the day.
What beautiful images! I have to say that the view from the GoPro made me dizzy LOL. It has been years since I was there so it is great to see it through your "eyes".
I have always wanted to go there.
I like that you included each of the brackets that you constructed the composite from. It was good to see how you made shooting decisions and what the final product of your layering was.
Love your channel Thomas as every so often something special occurs and I think the PNW series will be one of those moments. I hope BA didn't cause you too much grief today and you arrive OK at your next destination
Excellent idea! Very enjoyable watch 👍
POV watching you come up with compositions was fantastic. You should definitely make that an ongoing thing in future videos.
Michael Gaughan it was like being inside his mind from this POV.
Welcome to Washington!
Yes Thomas I agree there are so many potential for shoot
Hey! I was right. You are in my next of the woods and timing is great for wild flowers. I hope you were able to get into the North Cascades, but the entire Cascade range provides lots of hiking opportunities. I trust you had a GREAT visit!
Oh, and about that spelling - "Rainier" (aka - "Tahoma" or "The Mountain").
I agree with the other comments - really good "Heaton POV" with the GoPro - many thanks!
So beautiful! Love this type of video honestly
Thomas Heaton is so nice that he even apologizes for things beyond his control!
Vajradhar Acharya a classy guy indeed! Lol
He's English - it's all they do is apologize. ;-)
Nice day
The point of view was fantastic! So fantastic that my vertigo kicked in and I almost fell off my bar stool! 😅 Amazing shots of course! I can't wait to see the rest of your trip!!
Great idea!!! and I learned a something on how to get rid of lens flare, I have to remember that.
In your solo hiking videos is where I can see your best shots Thomas, I know you are confident, but man be extra careful out there. Certainly the images have feelings, just like good music. Looking forward your next as always. Bravo.
Welcome to my neck of the woods! I hope you had a great time!
Welcome to the neighborhood. It's nice to see where I love through a different set of eyes.
Great video Thomas, very enjoyable. Reminded me of the videos you made when you were just starting out on youtube :)
