A Peaceful End | Zion Photography Trip

This is the end of my last day of photography in Zion National Park. It was challenging, but very rewarding and incredibly peaceful.

To all 76.000 subscribers: please pay Ben Horne's channel a visit.
Thomas knows what, and who, he is talking about when he sometimes mentions him.
Same as Thomas is, Ben is a very passionate photographer, a great storyteller, and outstanding videographer.
And again, same as Thomas is, he is a very likeable chap.

I really enjoyed the video Thomas, and I think you did VERY well in Zion. Both scenes turned out great, and I enjoyed seeing what a fresh set of eyes sees in a place like Zion. I've been there so many times that I wonder how it shapes my own perception of the place, but you jumped in there and immediately started producing quality work, which is certainly the mark of a great photographer. On a side note, I certainly hope you didn't give the hobo that wandered into your video any spare change.

Watching your videos outside in a cold with only a tripod, camera and landscape is twice more enjoyable than in comfort zone!
You're my inspiration, thank you

[MarkKellyPhotographyUK]

I think I have now managed to watch all your videos on here, I am totally hooked, I class myself as an amateur photographer and love being out and about taking photographs, your series has encouraged me to go further and look broader, thank you and keep making great

[ericreniers]

hahah oh man, when Ben walked true the screen whahahaha did not see it coming. perfectly timed execution, BRILLIANT!

Hey Thomas,
since I discovered your videos in March, I must say that I loved every single one of them.
In my opinion, the thing I like most aren't your pictures (which are awesome indeed) or your technical skills. It's about the passion and the optimistic feeling you give in every single video. This is rare and absolutely great!
Keep up the good work and all the best from Germany!

Thomas, you're such an inspiration for me, i'm a newbee in photography and i planed my very first phototrip just because you gave me the motivation by your videos.... THANK YOU from a belgian war veteran....

Ha!, love the cameo appearance by Mr. Ben Horne...two thumbs up.

[jamesjohnston]

That was classic! My two favorite vlog/photographers with a sense of humor! Brilliant!

[chriswilliams]

I always love, and am amazed, at how you find such beautiful cameos in such wild and amazing places and instil the feel and grandeur into such a small part. It is always a pleasure watching you and hearing your thought processes as you search for 'that' image. I don't photograph landscapes, they frighten me, but I truly get how much pleasure they give you. Another fabulous video thanks for taking the time to show these magnificent places.

I've been binging on your videos. Love how you describe each of your shoots. The ups and downs. Thanks for keeping us inspired.

Ha! I saw that same tree next to the sandstone and struggled as well to find a good composition. Clever idea to try from above! Well done. Tony

After watching the trilogy of Zion videos I was thinking 'ah man, it's a shame that Thomas didn't get the best out of the 3 days', but then I thought 'actually, this guy got to spend 3 days in one of my favourite national parks in the world'. Great lesson learnt from these videos - It's about enjoying your surroundings, even if you don't get that picture you wanted. Awesome videos mate, keep 'em coming!

That "messy" image, reminds me a lot of abstract art, which is why I think it works.

[AlexAround]

I live in Southeast Colorado and your take on the "chaotic landscape" is very helpful. Thanks so much!

[JoeMichael-jmub]

I got so happy seeing Ben pass through the frame!

[terrywbreedlove]

As soon as you started in talking about needing someone to help i was looking for Ben to walk through the shot. :)

I've been following you here on YouTube for a while now and thanks to you discovered Ben Horne's channel for me yesterday. Since I left a comment there which includes you, I want to share a similar comment and thanks here, too. I love both, your photography as well as the way you are telling stories in your videos! I do landscape and travel photography myself as an amateur, not too shabby but on a much lower level, and love how you are able to show and share the fascination of landscape photography. This truly is a great inspiration, definitely for me. I also like the way you appreciate nature – it is not all about photos, it's also about being out there in the elements. And it's also great to see that not everything is always running perfectly as you would like things to be – and how you stay positive and make the best out of it. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos and photos. Thank you!

Love it!! Really liked Ben's little appearance too :-D Crackin touch :-)

Hi Tom. I can't think of a more beautiful & relaxing way to start my day than to watch this video. Thankyou for filming & posting onto the Tube.
