The tubes on the trees are to protect them from browsing animals and other dangers as the trees grow. the wooden stakes are for support.

@sunilak8239 Год назад

The transition from a warm tone to a blue tone on the final image is truly awesome 👍

@AndyBanner Год назад

Great video, Tom. The final woodland shot is a triumph. Good to see you're better. By the way, I think those plastic tubes are primarily there to stop the deer from eating the young trees.

@ThomasHeatonPhoto Год назад

Thanks a lot, and thanks for letting me know about the tubes. I had no idea (no pun intended) 😃

@fotogfitzfoto412 Год назад

Not just deer, but a diversity of woodland and heathland animals. There are growing moves to stop using plastic, but the alternatives are not yet as durable and cost-effective.

Rabbits go mad for wee trees

@martinjn2920 Год назад

@@fotogfitzfoto412 I saw an article a few months back that one of the bigger organisations (maybe National Trust, maybe not) were using tubes that were organic and would degrade naturally in around 5-7 years time by which time the trees should be relatively sturdy, the tube apparently splits as the tree grows and ultimately rots providing nourishment for the tree. I'll see if I can find the article.

It's so true. The best shots I've ever gotten always started out with "I guess I'll go and check this out, I'm not convinced I'll get anything, though"

@MartinEllis-fw9pk Год назад

Holystone woods, one of my go to places. I've taken so many photos here over the years and it changes all the time.

A great start to 2023. Best lesson learned is always take a camera with you.

Xpan aspect ratio is just magic!

What a wonderful video, and the last woodland shot is so amazing, love the colors contrast Tom. Happy 2023

a smashin' collection of photographs there, and what a morning. Vol. 3 contenders......

@Nathanvphotos Год назад

You’ve had a run of great videos of late, but this may be my favorite. Something about the more calming nature of it I suppose.

@IgorSurjan Год назад

Tom, these videos with film photography are most pleasuring and I think they most fit your character and process.

@francisschweitzer8431 Год назад

You don’t need to apologize….even your worst effort ( as defined by you ) is DOPE!!!

@drew2757 Год назад

That final image is a solid 4 on the Booth scale. Lesson for all of us, never go out cameraless

@entrigueall2661 Год назад

Wow, It’s been so long since I’ve heard a film camera engine push through a roll of film, awesome.

@TheGhostman132 Год назад

Xpan images are so aesthetically pleasing. It's like combination of long and wide lenses. Everything is so far yet so close away.

@williamlong63 Год назад

There is nothing that Americans hate more than a sincere apology. Who really cares about why your "production values" slide? Just be you and all will be okay. Really, your first videos are every bit as good as your latest. New equipment and higher production values don't mean a damn! It's your love of photography, your excitement at doing it, and your sense of humor that make your videos great.

@chengdong4548 Год назад

Thanks for taking us along on this trip.

@travis5481 Год назад

I've never truly wanted to return to film until seeing your Xpan videos. Each time I see one of these videos I inevitably do a search to see what's available and each time I am relieved not to find any bargains!

@Ste_365 Год назад

Yeah, that last shot of the trees is absolutely lovely

@c.augustin Год назад

I find this more spontaneous style of videography quite refreshing! This was part of the "RU-vid experience", and I think it should still be part of it. At least now and then. Back to the roots!

@andymcgarty3099 Год назад

Great images of the trees and love the final sea shot. Great way to get rid off all that sky and empty sand, shoot a pano! Excited to see what 2023 brings you, and us. Thanks.

@luzr6613 Год назад

Really lovely shot with the opposing colours giving an otherworldly quality to the image's symmetry. Dreamy stuff.

Год назад

Oh my god. That last image is a peace of art. Would be a delight to have one of those printed

@rcl-crafter8 Год назад

No one worries about content more than you!! You don't have to worry though, every video you make is perfect!!! It's a "day in the life" of a photographer and that's ALWAYS interesting. No candy coating! You are a wonderful story teller so keep up the great work!

@kylewood8327 Год назад

Great images! Even with todays fancier digital cameras the X-Pan is still holds up.

@rogersteele9890 Год назад

Great video, that large tree front center of last woodland shot, the base looks like a dog sitting, the first branch facing forward is its nose, very unique tree, and very nice image.

@SourPlanet Год назад

I love the cut sprinting to the next location. Every photographer knows that moment but it's essentially never shown. Also, good lord, what a location. Straight up Tolkienesque. Amazing.

@mucklark6943 Год назад

The plastic tubes are there to stop the deer from eating the young trees ;-). Loved the atmosphere... amazing 🙂

@pixel.catcher Год назад

Tom, you're looking sharp and I'm loving the energy! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2023. I'm saddled with this awful winter bug at the moment and itching to get out and about again, so I'm watching this green with envy...

@DarrylUK Год назад

That final shot is absolutely stunning! The light on either side is phenomenal. Humbling hearing you talk about taking the same photo in 200 years time as well.

@junerobinson8169 Год назад

Lovely video Thomas, glad to know your feeling better. The plastic tubes around the trees i think are to stop the deer eating the trees, as we have to have them in our woodland.. But as usual your photo's are brilliant.

@harrykaravias4823 Год назад

What beautiful light, what beautiful atmosphere, what beautiful photos 😊

@ciriciri9071 Год назад

@paullengyell9057 Год назад

Tom.. I loved your last two videos. The windy day took me there because you were dealing with it all. It never bothered me. Todays video was very well done. I was there as well because you were taking advantage of the day. Keep it going Tom. It’s great!

@thoserobotpants 4 месяца назад

That first photo you didn’t like I find to be an absolute stunning shot I would buy a print of it!

@juanQuedo Год назад

Looks like you made the most of that morning. The pano of the frosted trees and branches,all white and crispy is great.

@kamilbandura5491 Год назад

This shot is sooo cool. Can't wait to see new videos!

@johnnysvegetablegrowingmad5797 Год назад

The tree guards are there to protect the young trees from rabbits, hares and deer , loved the video by the way

WOW 2:31 a beautiful high key image a winner wow wow wow! 2:38 interesting composition.nice diagonal line from top left to bottom right I like it, but not as much as 2:31 9:38 it's stunning i think i still prefer 2:31 but the central placement of the old trees is great! fabulous Video (thats not a (planned) Video) Thanks for sharing

@jamesurzykowski4918 Год назад

The pano with the bright negative space as a photo was good but if it was used as a poster with a message written in the negative space it would be very useful. My book two has be shipped and I will receive it on January 6th. Looking forward to reviewing it. Thank you for all you do and I hope 2023 is your best year so far. Maybe when you get a good collection of piano’s you could do a book with just them. Happy New Year!

@chriskola3822 Год назад

I find it interesting how people default to the "Rule of thirds"/ offset compositions. You've wonderfully demonstrated that balance can be created using symmetry as well. Great image.

@johnsmith1474 Год назад

I would encourage photographers to never ever in their learning years use a rule to take a photo. It's insane. You use your vision to see until you are stimulated to shoot because what you see moves you. You go to the great art history books to learn and infuse yourself with artistic ideas. If after some years of that you still produce crap, or if you have a commercial necessity then go to rules. There is no shame in using a rule, but it's a good way to ruin original creative vision.

@chriskola3822 Год назад

@@johnsmith1474 I sort of think that learning the "rules" is pretty useful. They exist for a reason. You need at least a basic understanding of them to know how and when to break them. They shouldn't be written in stone and shouldn't be relied on all the time. Probably best to see them as guidelines.

@amalieemmynoether992 Год назад

To quote Pirates of the Caribbean..."they're more like guidelines anyway" I agree that learning compositional tools is a great place to start. The problem is that many people learn just one...the rule of thirds. PS I should have read to the bottom of your reply Chris. It seems I just echoed what you said.🤣

@ezbass Год назад

I really love the shots the xpan takes (I guess the bloke behind the vf helps too 😂). There’s something about that aspect ratio, all without having to a crop or stitch like you would with a normal sensor/film size.

@thomaschamberlin2485 Год назад

It has been suggested that one of the film cameras Pentax might want to consider making is an affordable X-Pan type camera.

@alanclark9691 Год назад

Liked the final image Thomas. Good to see you out & about again. I will indeed "see you next week" at the talk you are giving on the 12th. Happy New Year.

@Ozy_x Год назад

I don't know when i first saw the scene at 3:50 and before even seeing your final shot I just knew where you were going with it and without realizing that scene was so beautifully heart moving I think i even teared a bit just looking at it from the video but seeing it in the final result just made me gasp🥹💗

@zongmuas Год назад

Im a huge fan of negative space. so, the last image with the negative space would be my choice. But the centered one is also an amazing shot.

@dslmaxe Год назад

Hi Tom, I was watching the begin of your video with the exceptional conditions and was laughing because it appeared like you tumbled by accident in such beautiful conditions. For myself I belived a lot of planning was involved and wished myself to see Thomas exited doing some planning with location, forecast, map study etc. Because I like those episodes most. Think it helps to tell a complete story. Later I realized it really was by accident XD ... and assume that you simply do not that much of planning those days. Cheers and keep on your very good work, its my highlight of the week. This and enjoying your calender. Looking forward to my copy of the new book.

@AliasJimWirth Год назад

Happy New Year, Thomas. 2022 was excellent and I look forward to more of your photographic adventures now in 2023. Thank you for all that you have shared thus far in your career.

@AndreasLarzon Год назад

Hi Tom. In some way you can timetravel and re-take a 200 year old photo. Try to find an old enough foto from an area you want to visit and re-take that photo. That would be a fun video to see. The research of finding the photo and the effort taken to recreate the photo on location. Great vidoe btw. Cheers!

Loved the contrast of cold light on the left and warm light on the right in the last woodland scene, could almost draw a line down the middle of the image and have two seasons in one shot 👌

@iamdebmiller Год назад

I imagine there are times when you go to a local shopping center or something similar, and wish you had a camera because of something intriguing that presents itself. Seems like having at least one sort of camera at hand at all times is a good idea! Great shots, especially the mostly white one, but I love them all.

@connor56347 Год назад

@cynthiaisenhoff8777 Год назад

Love the last image, the nursery of saplings watched over by the giants! Just thinking that the plastic tubes are more to protect the young trees from predators who would destroy them by eating the bark or the entire trunk. Rabbits, deer and many others see the nursery as a buffet. I speak from experience living in a rural area, I've resorted to similar technique in my garden🙂.
