3 Landscape Photography Mistakes to Avoid at all Costs ;-) Sunset Photo Hike

This video sees me hiking high in to the mountains for a sunset landscape photography shoot. I discuss 3 mistakes to avoid when on such a trip, but I only manage to avoid 2 of those mistakes. I shooting with my Fuji GFX 50r and hike to the summit of Dow Crag in the lake district national park.

After watching just one of your videos, when I see Thomas Heaton, I click regardless of thumbnail or title. Your skills are admirable and your dialogue informative and educational. Thanks bunches!

[brunononogaki]

I very much identified myself in your thoughts, man! My channel is about the same: a man with a camera in the field, and that is it. But the thing is that you already reached a point where your channel is no longer necessarily about photography, but about experiences, lifestyle and you. And plus, stunning photographies. People (myself included) would watch you no matter what you publish. If you publish a video about yourself cooking in the van, I'm going to watch and enjoy it. So you don't need to play the Youtube game, because you already won it. You are cool, charismatic, have a dream campervan, make stunning adventures, so every video will be special. Keep it up man, you really rock and are a great inspiration for me!

I don’t need a title or thumbnail, once I see Thomas Heaton come up I’m definitely watching it, end to end.
You just have a way of coming across as genuine and I think that’s part of your appeal, there are too many YouTubers trying too hard.

[alancampbell]

Your videos are like a real production with a start, middle and end. It’s one of the few landscape photographer videos that I can relax with and settle down into; watch with my morning coffee or my evening beer. As good as your photography is, it’s not the sole reason for watching your videos; it’s the art you create with your videos that is also the appeal.

"You. Out with Camera."
Since the videos are entertaining and since you switched from being a photographer to being mainly a (YouTube-) entertainer, you hit your goal, so keep it coming, you're doing a good job entertaining your viewers. "You. Out with Camera" is good enough

As a photography youtuber who views you as the gold standard for preparation... this was super refreshing. glad to see others just making it up as they go lol. Amazing photos man

[scotty]

Over half a million subscribers is testament to your style and approach to creating your videos Thomas. There is always something to take away from your videos and for probably the majority of us, you take us to places that we are unlikely to get to or perhaps only a few of the places. Loved the images this week and great spot with the birch trees

[peterfritzphoto]

I’m glad you refuse to engage in clickbait. It’s sooo bloody pervasive, now! Keep on keeping it real, Tom. There will always be a huge market for intelligent, authentic people like you.

Like a few others here I would also like to say that I’ve been watching your channel for years and look forward to your videos every week. The thumbnail and title doesn’t matter to me at all. I’ve recently tried to remember to hit like on every video, and I honestly wouldn’t mind if you reminded us more often, I feel like you almost never do.

I really love this channel, I’m subbed to over 200 channels on YouTube and this is high among my favorites. Such an underrated channel, but maybe that’s what I like about it.

Also I recently bought your book, and it’s beautiful! Highly recommended for other hardcores out there

"But I don’t want to play the click bait game either, I refuse to do that. I don’t really want to play the top tips game either, or the new gear game. I just want to go out and do photography and create". This is why you are a true photographer. you are about the PHOTOGRAPHY. Thank you for all your years of service to the art and look forward to more in the future sir!

[laurelb]

I watch just because it’s Thomas Heaton and the style is enjoyable, never click bait or reviews etc, just taking us along on your photo journey.

[kurtvandoran]

Thomas, I’m a new photo-taker from Texas, US, not yet a photographer, and what I like most about your channel is the recording of just how your day and photography went, good or bad. Maybe especially the bad days, because that’s how the days go. One gets out of the car with camera, walks, takes images, falls down, messes up, and occasionally gets blessed with a really good image. Yours is a real vlog of a guy out doing it. I subscribed because of that, not because of a catchy title. Don’t worry so much about that. Just keep it real, and real people will follow.

[darrelltheriault]

I appreciate your integrity in not creating “click bait “ titles and I’m sure it is difficult to find the right balance in creating interest however, in truth the only enticement I need to watch a video is the “Thomas Heaton” part. Always enjoyable. Thanks!.

[digitaliphotography]

Hi Thomas. This is my favourite type of YT video - just a man on a hike with a camera. There's no need for click-bait thumbnails and titles. I look forward to your videos each week and it is your videos that inspired me to start my own channel. Keep it up, and remember the first rule of rural mechanics: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

[eyeofthebeholder_]

I love to see how much you verbalize the issues you're having while taking an image and how it seems like you're not having a particularly good time with the subject and then turn around and show an amazing photograph.

Your process gets me inspired.

[kathyjurgens]

If it helps to know, we are regular viewers tuning in every Wednesday, looking forward to doing so week to week. Thumbnails and the like make no difference, we’d still show up. Perhaps they’re useful for attracting new viewers? Anyway, we thought tonight’s segment was marvelous and the final photo soothing. Would be lovely to contemplate while practicing yoga.

[RealHouseMouse]

Thomas, don’t bother with that click bait, title or thumbnail thing.
We are not here for that, we are here to see your photographic ups and downs.
We are here to learn from your mistakes and successes.

I have been a follower for 6 years now and every time you publish a new video, you inspire me (and many others) to go out and hike, shoot, and all that while enjoying the beauty of Nature.
Keep doing what you do, keep being you

[alanclark]

I just love your meanderings Thomas - it is your personality that makes these videos so watchable and popular. Don't overthink it, just "go out and take photos".

[craigallenphotography]

I agree with everything you said, I HATE the "You're using your tripod wrong!", "This is why your pictures aren't getting better.", etc.. Just show me your hike, talk me through your thought process, and show me your pictures. But like you said, YouTube makes that very hard. I have followed you for many years now and always love your content, keep up the great work sir.

We don’t need a catchy title or thumbnail to choose to watch your channel, Thomas Heaton! You won our hearts a long time ago!
And your background music is the best! Cheers!
