The Essence of Landscape Photography

This was a photography video that I dreaded having to edit, however once I started to review the footage and re-live the trip, I started to realise that this video truly reflects what landscape photography is all about: passion, exploration, slowing down and being in the great outdoors.

I am legally obliged to make it clear when a video is sponsored or features any kind of paid product placement. This video is NOT sponsored by Pringles. I just had some Pringles in my bag, just to be clear... Not sponsored by crisps. Xxx

I got hungry because of that... :) Thanks for the video! I know it goes a little against the common sense, but it's quite inspiring to see you struggle. Easier to relate, I guess. Hat off ;)

I watch a lot of photographer youtubers, and I’ve learned a lot from them. But the most valuable one I’ve learned is from Thomas, and that’s to be patient, calm, and if you don’t get the shot it’s okay! Love your channel Thomas!

Hello Thomas Heaton, thank you so much for what you do. You as well as other youtubers have been instrumental in helping me renew my interest in photography as well as to how to improve my photos and videos. i live adjacent to the Navajo nation in north west new Mexico and the scenery with all the mesas, ship rock and so much more are wonders to behold. With your help my photos and videos are much more enjoyable for my friends and family back east, thank you and stay safe. oh yea I never realized what a beautiful place Scotland is. Thanks for that as well.

It's about being ALIVE. Thank you again for all your hard work bringing us these experiences,

Enjoyable, as always, Thomas. I love your philosophizing as you wander the canyons of Zion. You're always content, never despairing when there is no composition-wonderful. I envy that nice, warm weather as I'm here in the Peak District where it's cold and snowy. I hope you are feeling better. See you soon.

This video illustrates why I love landscape photography so much. Any day that I get to go out and shoot landscape is a good day. If I come home with an image, that's awesome. If not, well I spent the day outside, so no regrets. It's also probably why shooting landscape is often a solitary experience for me because not everyone gets 'it.' You sir get it:)

Only 3 minutes in and I completely agree with you: I was there in October and what I liked the most about the place was the details (the light on yellow leaves, rocks in the beautiful river, the different colors red blue yellow green...).
