Awesome video, Thomas. started watching your channel around a week ago and it is the best. seeing how landscape photography is done and learning a lot! You have motivated me to go out and shoot more. Thanks a lot!
Oh damn, you were in Geneve 1 year ago! if you pass again around here let me know! I'd love to observe you working, even from few mountains away 🙂
Thanks for reminding me that it's about the journey not the destination.
You are simply the best, every photo you make is breathtaking and inspiring, keep the great work 🙂
It can't get better then that 😉 Awesome channel mate. Y've discovered you 3 weeks ago I watched atleast two thrid of your content, learnt so much and enjoyed it for hours. Thankq a lot for that superbe work.
Watching these videos just inspires and motivates me to go outside and photograph landscapes. Love these videos, Tom!
way do you always travel along? ?
Hi Thomas, not sure if you reply to posts on such old videos, but I wondered, how do you deal with hiking in the dark to get to a vantage point like that for sunrise – other than sleeping in and missing it 🙂
Hi!
Sorry, I am delayed with your vlogs…I must say that photo with the climbers is my favourite! This is my type of photos. Do you know the climber's names? Maybe some famous… :-))
I´ve been several times in Geneva but not there…I am not a big fan of Alps but that glacier is beautiful!! You know, I´ve too many vertigos and that kind of landscapes cause me…
Thank you so much for all your kindness, proficiency and sharing of knowledge.
the photo with the 3 guys on the snow is realy incredible, there is no word for that. sometimes a photo have so much power you just can't describe it.
I wish I could walk like you.
you are really an inspiration for hikers & photographer too ..
keep posting
thanks,
BRAVO!
u speak of the eternal truth of photography as well as life in general
I'm off the Chamonix in 3 days, cannot wait to take some amazing photos 🙂
Nice encouraging videos and delightful shots you make mate.
btw what's the name of your watch?
I reckon. That's American western.
The thing I can't get over is, he actually walks ahead, plants a camera and then backtracks and then walks forward again like it's totally candid. Hiking some places is enough without going through all that. That's real dedication. And he won't be doing that at 40, so this is history so to speak. It will live on. Sometimes the journey is better than the destination.
Man you are an inspiration!!
How is the 5DSr for landscape? Or do you recommend another Canon FF camera instead?
did that 40 year's ago
I've been minding to ask for a while now. How do you know what filter to use (for the ND/ND grad)? And how do you read the lighting?
