  • In this video I venture out on a very rare sub-zero morning to be greeted by the most breathtking hoar frost. I take full advantage and photograph as much as I can, sharing tips and techniques along the way. This video is different to my usual landscape photography videos as I take many more images.

    I've recently purchased a Canon 80D, my first DSLR. It is, by far, one of my favorite items that I own. I am interested in photography, so I wanted to learn more about it. Since I travel an average of 400 miles daily across the country driving a truck, I often wonder how I could fit photography into my busy schedule. After seeing many beautiful places at highway speeds, I wish nothing more than to freeze those high speed moments. However, for safety reasons, I can't just stop in the road to take pictures. So, after watching this video, you've given me motivation to look a little closer, and little deeper, into the areas where I can park for those beautifully rich colors like that of those of the frosty leaves. Thank you for inspiring me to get out and look. Have a great day.

    All those images are beautiful. I really liked 'Winter Layers', but 'The Star of the Show' is particularly breathtaking.

    Glad to see a fellow winter photography lover! I live in the US in Michigan and theres fantastic shots to be had during this time of year!

    It's great that Squarespace sponsor so many creatives! They really care and their service looks awesome!

    • @ThomasHeatonPhoto
      @ThomasHeatonPhoto  Před 7 lety +1

      They do sponsor a lot of creatives, which is great as it can be very difficult to earn a living doing what you love. We have been talking for a while and they're very supportive.

    • @BrettBodkinsPhotography
      @BrettBodkinsPhotography Před 7 lety

      One thing I find interesting on this (although I'm totally supportive of people like yourselves getting sponsorships so you can continue inspiring the rest of us) is that it really goes to show where photography is as a business when the ads are geared toward selling gear and services to other photographers. There really isn't much of a push to attempt to sell anything toward a more mainstream audience anymore. It's about selling workshops, commissions on selling gear, views by other creatives, etc. Just an interesting state of affairs these days! I hope that your success online is translating into success on the prints and art gallery side and that one day we'll all be seeing Thomas Heaton galleries everywhere as you clearly deserve that! Definitely need to diversify our revenue streams into the future so that if the CZcams thing dries up one day you'll still be able to continue doing what you love (not that this business model will ever dry up, but I'm just saying)....

    @tracythorn2918 Před 7 lety

    You are one of the few people who can fill 15min of video with interesting content. Lots of great shots but I particularly like the frosty brown leaves and the frosty arid bush. I've seen similar bushes here in Wisconsin. They are so elegant, and with frost, wow!

  • @mibreit-photo

  • @overlandphotography
    @overlandphotography Před 7 lety

    Thomas, one of the reasons I feel that I'm being pulled into landscape photography more and more (willingly I may add), is that it draws you into nature in a lot more detail. It makes you think about what you're seeing which means more time to consider your shot.
    Before, when hiking, I'd walk past a lovely scene (without a camera) and say that's pretty, but, with camera in hand, I look much deeper into nature. It draws me in and gives me so much pleasure. Your video confirms yet again, that there is so much more to landscape photography. For me, it gives me get a better perspective on life and that it is the simple things that can also make it pleasurable.
    I'm loving your work Thomas and by the way, you're invited to Australia mate.

    I'd watched this when it was released and this was a re-visit. I was watching it through and not skipping to get to the "tree shot" at the end. When it came up at the end of the shoot, it literally took my breath away! I've been shooting a fair amount myself, and have been working a little more on my technical chops. Seeing this again really inspires me to dig in harder and spend more time out in the wild. Thanks Thomas!

  • @AlGreenLightThroughGlass

    Its what you leave out that for me makes those woodland shots work - you do isolate and balance the critical elements nicely whether with selection or DOF. Really liked the symmetry on the layered piece.

    I'm blaming you for my costly recent Equipment upgrades and renewing my interest in Landscape photography. I had lost interest then health issues prevented me getting out and about for a long time. Then i came across your videos by chance and my interest was renewed, i even found myself on a beach at 04:30 before sunrise. Keep the videos coming you really have inspired me to get out and about with my camera again.
