I find myself enjoying your process of taking the image than the image themselves. Perhaps, end results actually doesn't matter anymore. The travels, the preparations, the lead up and the joy of just being there is enough for me to be hooked to the channel :)
This is precisely why I watch. A photograph is the tip of an iceberg, with so much experience hidden beneath the surface. I love that this channel explores that experience.
That looked so blissful Thomas and what a great way to be detached from the madness of the world and be immersed in nature. Hope you and your family have a good Christmas and thank you for all the work you have put in and shared over the past year
I'd kill to be in the middle of nowhere right now. Looks lovely there. Nice minimalist Portra shots too. Congratulations on half a million subscribers Tom!
The videos are just perfection. Really liked the sounds of changing the settings on the lens. It's all so immersive and soothing. Amazing picture of the grass on the dunes; you can almost feel the bits of warmth from the sun.
After a long night of caring for very sick people i watch your videos and your photography has a real calming affect on me. Thanks you minimalistic photos are my relaxation therapy.
Haha, for me the "relaxation therapy" is in the morning (since his videos come out overnight here)...I watch his latest episodes over a cup of coffee and it sets me in a calm mood for the day
Beautiful journey Thomas, the scenery is stunning and you captured some nice ones. Just noticed you are now over 500K subscribers, congratulations and well earned.
Just loved the calming effect of the estuary photography that through your video reached all the way up to Belgium! Thank you so much for this and wishing you a beautiful Christmas and a 2022 filled with beautiful light! My favourite photograph of the series: image 5, just love the soft pastel colours and the s-curves bringing you all the way to the feeders in the distance! great work!
Watching your videos sometimes takes me twice as long, cause I get inspired to revisit some of my photos (this time of the estuary at Borth -y-Gest), then get thirsty seeing your cuppas! Nice peaceful scenes.
When you shoot in remote locations, and we see tiny snow-covered villages in the Himalayas or wind-swept houses huddled on shorelines in the Outer Hebrides, I wonder about the people living in these dwellings. The photos you make are evocative of nature, color and form, but also of lives lived just beyond the horizon of our imagination. Thank you for inviting us along on these journeys.
Your joy is infectious. I get pockets of time like that and it keeps me sane. You look so happy and content. I am so pleased for you. Thanks for all your hard work on these vlogs. Must be exhausting. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah that’s something I personally have to remind myself…that’s it’s not always about the final image, it’s about being out and connecting with nature. Thanks Tom
Nice ambiance on those beach shots. Your right, it's often not the objective weather a hill or a picture. It's the soaking up the environment. . . . Love your van shots. My Deli has not the camperized interior but I still love it...made me smile that your wipers are as loud as mine!
Zen is right! It was obvious that you were having a wonderful day. Never mind the light letting you down at the end, it happens. Lovely shots, beautiful and minimal!
There's something about your videos that puts me out in the field while watching. Every Wednesday night about 11:30 i sit down with a little snack and watch your video. Then off to bed and dream of the next photography adventure.
This is how I feel so often on on my photographic ventures Tom. Just being out and Being There, not always getting a great shot, is really what its all about.........
I have had this exact problem this week. Thank you for the inspiration to still get out there and do it! Once again, I just want to give you a nod of appreciation for the B-roll. Don't think we don't notice the time that goes into it 😉
Sometimes it overwhelms me, as an amateur photographer, not knowing what to shoot, what to tell. Then I see incredibly talented people like Thomas and on one side I feel relieved because he proves over and over again that you can find a good shot almost everywhere. But on the other hand it makes me feel bad because I don’t have that “eye” for photography that goes beyond the obvious.
A nice blissful and peaceful morning-- The shots that took me were the drone shots with dark ribbons of water against the sand-- was just a quick "B" roll shot but that was more to my liking-- The pics of the beach and estuary were just to blah in color and scope for my taste-- I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.
I really enjoyed this video Thomas. It brought me back to a simpler and stress-free time in my life when I could afford to take things slow and enjoy a beautiful place like that at my own pace. My grandfather was from Scotland, and while I’ve never been, these videos really make me want to visit some day. Even the rain has some appeal to me as it adds to the sense of remoteness of that location.
What a video! I've got to tell you, Thomas, personally I don't really click with your photos this time, but man, these drone shots were outstanding. So good material - and that comes from a person who actually DESPISES drones. But wow, what great views. Bravo!
This is pretty damn inspiring, flat lighting which may have caused some to leave the camera in the car but still getting out and enjoying the scenery has proved that you need to be able to ‘see’ your images to get results, not my strongest point. Great video, thank you Thomas.
Lovely stuff, Love the way the water shapes the estuary. really liked this one. You are turning out a full length vid thats not boring and is very high quality. a big thank you.
Thomas I was there a few years ago, its a dream for photography, great shots. Even when the light does not go your way, you always make up with some good grub lol.
Absolutely love your minimalist perspective. Strangely the images are both zenful and exciting at the same time! Merry Merry Christmas to you and your family! Take care and be safe out there….
Super video Thomas. The images were stunning, such a beautiful place. Luskintyre ? l think. Easy to get lost in in the moments of such a beautiful place and no one around. Thank you as always for sharing your information. Take care Alioban
You nailed the philosophy of your morning shoot as well as the images. I agree with you, capturing the mental satisfaction of a day like that is just as important as capturing the images....... unless you are working on a commission job. :)) I've been fortunate enough to capture that feeling a few times in 60 years of shooting.
much liked the gentle soft muted colours, and especially those colours in the grasses image, were perfect. nice that it all flowed and was such an enjoyable shoot for you. love film, don't know why but it just does it for me. thank you for a year of brilliant, fun videos; am so grateful to you. merry christmas to you and yours. 💡⭐️
Thomas , I could never / would never call the location "nothingness" . I've walked those very similar steps on a number of occasions. I would call it, one of the most peaceful, tranquil places on Gods green earth. keep up the great content.
One of your best videos this year, I’d definitely go for more tipping water out of a welly moments. So serene and wonderful images. I’m booked to go to Harris in April and I’m even more looking forward to it than before
Absolutely marvellous images in a truly magical part of the world. Your videos are always fascinating to watch. Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2022👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That looked so peaceful and calm. What a great way to spend your time. Lovely images as well. Although, I'm sure your feet must have been cold after filling your wellies with water. Merry Christmas to you, Charlotte, Monty and your families. Thank you for all you do and the hard work you do and share with all of us. All the best for 2022 and I look forward to more amazing photography and adventures.
So relaxing, going out alone into that peaceful and smooth landscape. Oh, I miss that so much. Those two last images in the video are my favorite. Cheers mate. Oh and, merry Christmas. 🎄
To be honest I didn’t thinking those beach images are your strongest work but as long as you are enjoying the process why not. The last image with the tall grass in front is definitely my pick of the bunch.
