How Most People Shoot Landscape Photography

Today I head out with a Nikon ZZ II & a 24-70 f2.8 lens. I take my camper van & shoot landscape photography the way that most of us do, which is as and when we can, with limited time & without the luxury of travelling to exotic locations. I hope I can show that even with limited time, dull weather and not so dramatic locations, it is still possible to shoot awesome images. I also injur myself in this video :-/

I admire the dedication, driving hundreds of miles, walking miles, then photographing a fern. Love it.

[FinnMacCuhl]

The effort that goes into the 3rd person shots setups is amazing.

[JeffandLeslie]

Preferred the Nikon version by far. Not because of camera but to me the vibrant greens of the fresh ferns was the real story of this image.

The photo of the tree with red berries is simply stunning

[mattpindar]

Never have I related more, “oooo look at that tree” sums up me every time I’m out in a woodland; Non photographers wouldn’t understand! Great video as ever and glad your neck is better!

I really appreciate the premise of this video. The only time I really have to go out and photograph is on my day off which limits my distance and the conditions available.

[andrewscott]

Had me hanging on every word ..
Masterful storytelling! You have a gift my friend! Your adventures are inspiring! All I want to do after I watch your videos is go up the mountains take pictures and eat spam! Looking forward to our next adventure!! Thanks Tom!

I injured my ankle on Dartmoor a couple of weeks ago. Had to walk 2km back to the car. Like you, I'd never had an injury while out photographing before. Spooked me a little. Anyway, glad you are all better! :-)

I had a stroke in 2017 and had to give up much of my photography, including my medium-format digital outfit. Take care Thomas and don't take your health for granted!

[samb]

Loved the happy, light-hearted and slightly frantic vibe of that video. So much fun to watch! Great photography as always. And glad you’re neck feels better!

[RobertSmith-fsuc]

Glad your necks better Tom, definitely not a disastrous end to the video, just the real life and trials of a photographer that we all have as we get older. What makes your videos so great is the unedited truth and honesty you leave in. Looking forward to the new calender 👍

I like the Nikon shot of the plants. Really like the shot in general!

[vinceajpanganiban]

Walking more than 10kilometers just for a few photos. Not even earning money from it but it makes me happy.

[kqschwarz]

Thank God your neck is alright. The first part in the jungle was incredible. Holy cow were those ferns big. I vote for the Nikon shot rather than the IR. All the best.

[ericerickson]

Tom, I own both the 24-70 F2.8 and the 24-120 f 4 and you are correct the 24-70 is clearly a think of beauty. Magic happens when I put it on the front of the camera.

[foveonyc]

Glad Tom that cured his neck! I really liked the heather location! I even remembered poems from my childhood about the Scottish King! Rowan in the performance of a long trick - just gorgeous! I don't really like short focus myself! As for the fern, then in spite of my love for black and white photography in landscape photography, I choose the color Nikon Z version ... Although I would shoot on Foveon :) Greeting from Saint Petersburg!

You know? I'm from Argentina. We have had a magnicide attempt last night and EVERYONE is bat crazy around here, so, sometimes I come to this channel just to hear your voice. So damn calm.
Of course, the photography too, but once in a while, it goes to second place. =)

As an amateur, with 2 kids and a full time job, it's super difficult to take the types of trips I used to in the "before times" (aka in my 20's and early 30's). Tom's videos are a godsend when I don't have time to get out and shoot as much as I'd like and while I love the videos from exotic locations with gorgeous scenery and hiking... it's just not applicable to my situation. I might get somewhere semi exotic once a year during a family vacation and let's be honest, they're not joining me for a 6 night backpacking trip. All this is to say my favorite videos are the ones where Tom goes into a typically ordinary place and finds amazing compositions in all the meh. The boring 10 miles, or whatever that video was called, was the absolutely the most helpful and motivating video I've ever seen on YouTube. Tom, if you read this, you're super helpful and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making them. If you want a challenge, try going to a few less spectacular places and like (like upstate NY :) and show us how you approach composition in the average viewers domain! Cheers and thanks for all the great content!

Glad to hear you are better! Your dedication to photography is inspiring!

[KellyPettit]

Glad you’re back up and running. Another fun video. Thank you
