- I drove my camper van to Sweden to buy a Hasselblad Xpan II panoramic film camera. In this video I take my Xpan and my Hasselblad 501cm film cameras on a proper landscape photography shoot in Söderåsen National Park. 10% off your first Squarespace website or domain: www.squarespace.com/heaton

The 90mm shot with the three trees is easily a portfolio image imo. You managed some wonderful shots !
That picture of the ancients oak tree at 90mm is amazing!
That tree shot with the 90mm is just awesome.
Great images, it was heart warming to once again to hear the crank mechanism of the camera and the sound of the mirror locking up.
The final pano after the light hit with the three trees, magnificent Thomas. Beautiful man. Love it. Portfolio piece for sure!!!
You are brilliant mate, it's not just the photography tips and tricks that you share or the beautiful places you take us, or the superb images you share, you're also a great film maker, that gets overlooked sometimes. Your channel makes a big difference to my day. Thanks
He's a fine storyteller that's for sure.
I was going to say the same - you do not teach us tips and tricks but, more importantly, the mood of landscape photography. Your approach, the way you do things teach me and help me a lot in my photography.
These is a really nice comment to read, thank you. Videos like this don't always perform as well as the more headline grabbing top tip videos, but reading such comments encourages me to continue on this path of video making.
So weird and amazing to see you shoot in my old areas. I had a house a bit further down the road from the field with the oak trees.
Those oaks... wow stunning! I've taken so many of my favorite shots by the side of the highway. What a miracle.
I was right about my guesses in the last video about the location! Söderåsen National Park and it's surroundings near the village of Röstånga, including the Oden lake, is an incredibly beautiful area! I'm fortunate to live 40 minutes away by car and I and my wife love to camp with our caravan at the nearby camping about 3-4 times every year!
I loved the photos, especially the ones with the old oak trees! I have to visit that place and take a few photos myself!
This series have been a treat to watch! Looking forward to the next video!
Hej Jimmy! Har du möjligtvis koordinaterna till platsen med ekarna i fältet? Verkade som du hade koll på vart det ligger. Man blev ju löjligt sugen på att få testflyga det själv.
@@Viktoryous Nej, tyvärr! Ska kolla runt lite. Trodde först att det kunde vara vägen mot Blinkarp från Röstånga camping, men efter att ha kollat Google Maps så kan jag bekräfta att det inte är så. Vore skoj att veta var det är! :)
Wonderful Autumn images, love the Xpan shots, especially the last ones with Oak trees, worth hanging on those extra minutes and rewarded by the lovely light
@thomasheaton the complexity and balance of the composition, light and lines in the river shot is just exquisite! Bravo!
I’m in shock at how astoundingly good the shots were of the field with a few grand old trees in it. I paused my washing up and just stared open jawed at them…
I absolutely love film photography (I recently got a Hasselblad 500cm myself), so seeing someone so skilful use film is so exciting!
That's great feedback, thanks a lot. Autumn colour certainly helps with the photography. Wish I didn't overexpose that first image though 😔
@Thomas Heaton is the master of composition when it comes to trees in fields lol. I always know some great shots are coming when he starts shooting in an open area.
That photo is just astonishing! This is a once in a lifetime kind of result for most of us but Thomas makes it look so easy.
@@IvanRiveraStagea - Which? It was a nice day of shooting but I saw nothing that would add to his excellent portfolio where the bar is pretty high.
@@johnsmith1474 The lighting, balance and color of the image at 13:53 is great. I know it is not an exotic location and that it does not stand up against ths rest of his portfolio images. It's just that most people that shoot film part time (like me) generally do not have many images of that quality. The fact that he was able to generate such a beautiful image just by the roadside (in a location that is new to him even) adds to output's charm.
12:55 one of your best shots ever…. Aaaaaaaaaamaaaazing! ❤❤❤❤❤
The Green in the photo at 14:14 just POPS. What an incredible shot.
The shots in this video just got better and better, amazing work!
On the strength of these images alone your trip to Sweden and purchase of the Hasselblad Xpan II panoramic film camera was well worth it. I especially loved the illuminated tree in the field and also the wider version at 13.03.
Hi Thomas. Nice to see you in a place I can relate to. I been to "Söderåsens nationalpark" several times and its always wonderful, not the least in the spring with the beech tree having light green leaves and thousands of white hoppers on the ground. I also got some nice pictures of an heron fishing in the little stream in the bottom of the ravine. A place I definitely recommend for someone visiting the south of Sweden. I think you got some lovely pictures with lovely autumn colors.
Man I love vibing out to your vids. So relaxing! Always great music choices.
Really enjoying this trip! The 90mm shot of the oaks made me stand up and applaud. Lovely stuff!
The 90mm shot is absolutely incredible
Nature always treats You. And what a treat You got. Those trees with that lighting look beautiful
The second oak tree shot with the Xpan II is just magnificent! I had to pause the video and was looking at it for a while. Amazing.
Dude those X-pan shots of the Oak trees on the side of the road are my favorite shots of yours yet! Really stunning!
WOW!! That shot of the three trees at 13:45 is perfection! Lovely work, Tom.
Purely a magical place and so well put together, just brilliant
"Settings unknown"
Ahh yes, the joy of film shooting
The photos of the old oaks look surreal. Well done.
That 90mm (13:47) oak shot, a masterpiece!!!
I NEED that 90mm tree print! So so good!
Love the panoramic photos, and looks like it was the perfect setting to try out the new camera. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing shots! I loved especially those taken from the roadside ☺
Fantastic images Thomas, and especially stunning shots in the second half of the video.
Besides the fabulous images and tutelage the really top thing is watching someone radiating enthusiasm and a positive attitude- thanks much
I love looking at your van footage. It's become a character of its own on this channel.
Some nice shots in this one. Your filmmaking skills are really showing some polish too. I look forward to this every week.
13.53 what an image. What a scene! Stunning, brilliant, wow
I'm happy that you came to Sweden at last! You got some really good shots!
Hallelujah indeed! The roadside's photographs were simply stunning!
Wow I actually prefer the non-polarized shot as well. The polarized one seems much too warm, while the first was more true-to life with those colors more balanced. What a beautiful spot in the woods! I've certainly taken a spill or two on steep hillsides just like that one, haha. Glad it was only the video cam that took a hit. That pano at 11:00 was absolutely super! And great luck there with the light breaking. Made for an awesome pano at the end! I had similar luck the last morning I went out, but unfortunately the light moved way too fast to video any of it!
The non-polarized shot keeps the darker tones on the tree trunks which I think looks nice.
I’m with you. I actually really disliked the Polarized shot!
Agreed
I agree - I found the one with the poliarizer looked a bit artificial in terms of colors.
Your videos are a highlight of the week. It’s all so calming like a break from all the craziness of the internet 🤗
I'm living in Sydney for 4 years while I study (currently 3 years in). The shot of trees in the field at the end with autumn colours and gray skies made me feel so nostalgic for my native Northern Irish scenery. Sydney is beautiful, but there's 'no' autumn here as almost all the trees are evergreen.
Should take a drive into the mountains for a very different landscape.
the images of the oak trees are amazing with that lovely light!
The field/tree shots were the photos that made my eyes happy. I love the pano shots. They just seem to make a more dramatic story to me.
Beautiful Panorama shots Thomas! 👍 Skäralid is about 30km from our front door and is a very nice place, making some photographs during Spring and Autumn seasons.
The 90mm shot of the oak trees in the field is unreal. Looks straight out of Middle Earth.
That is my favorite too!
Why is Thomas so blessed with such lighting conditions, and not us? That's unfair 😉
Middle Earth! That was my thought too. Maybe in the plains in the south of Gondor.
Lovely video, really liked to square crop pool picture, lovely composition and no too busy at all as well as the first roadside pano, just love the light on all those spaced out trees in the field. 👏👏👏
The Hasselblad C 500 was one of my favorit camera of all times, only to be exceeded by the Rollei SL 66. You don't know, what memories this shooting brought up. Great thank you very much. (maybeIhavetogetoneagainsoon)😀
The photos by the road are really beautiful. Well done.
The close-up pano on the trees is beautiful!
Some fantastic images! Especially loved the last 2.
Just loved the last shot of the ancient oak, absolutely stunning!
Being a Scandinavian country you think of Sweden being miles and miles of pine trees. But in this instance it makes a surprising but nice change and when you think about it the vikings made their ships from Oak.
These were all fantastic, but the ones in the national park were just perfection.
Yep those 2 roadside shots are pretty incredible and well worth the wait
Yeah, I'm happy with how they came out, but it was stressful with cars whizzing by.
Bloody hell ! That 90mm XPan tree shot is mind-blowing !! It's as unnatural as it is superbly executed !
That one requires a large print, there's no doubt about it !
Another great video. What great shots in the national park. Glad you persevered at the roadside, particularly liked the first two. Looking forward to the next edition of your trip.
The second shot by the water works for me. A combination of the composition, reflection and polariser creates a very pleasant, tranquil image.
I wasn't sure at first, but it's growing on me.
Молодец!!! Шикарные снимки, шикарные места для съёмок. С нетерпением жду следующей серии. Удачи!!!!
That first Xpan composition is unreal! The river in the background is so well placed because it drew me in and really ties the image together nicely.
Lovely photos and so great seeing how you work.
A tip that is a bit late I guess - you now have the Xpan and you also have access to the Őresund bridge. The longest in Europe. Does seem like a match, don't it!
There is a foot path that allows you to walk all the way down to and even under the bridge . Might be fun to try one day, when the road takes you back to Sweden .
Safe travels!
The 90mm tree shot is amazing. Great job!
Wandering, exploring national park looks like something legendary in your channel, Thomas.
that Oak tree with XPAN is brutal.... i never knew shooting landscape can be this fun...
Love shooting film..
Using these cameras is like driving oldtimer cars. You arrive at any destination with any car, but it's got so much more character to the process.
Söderåsen: the south ridge in English. Sweden is saturation heaven at the end of Oct-beginning of November. Keep making these videos Tom, we are all mighty thankful.
Great images Tom. You’re getting good at this film stuff. Well done 👍
I love all these shots, but the pano at the 11:00-minute mark felt like looking at a painting, in the best way possible. Excellent.
Amazing. I'm speechless. Don't know what to say honestly.
12:58 This is gorgeous!
When I saw the shot with the field of trees, there was a sharp intake of breath and a exclamation…wow!!. my wife looked at me and asked if I was ok. “Just look at this” I said. “Have you ever seen something so simply beautiful”. Her reaction….Wow!! Says it all Tom.
I just bought your book, partly because I’m sure it’s beautiful but also to thank you for the inspiration you’ve caused in me (and many others) over all this time, sincerely. Thank you.
A highlight of my Wednesday evening/Thursday morning is watching one of your video's Thomas. Again this week you have delivered an excellent video with awesome images. Thank you so much!
Damn the oak trees shots came out absolutely astonishing. Im from Sweden btw! Glad you got to enjoy our fantastic nature! Much love, youre an inspiration for an aspiring photographer!
I have received my landscape photography book as a birthday present from my wife. Highly recommended. Fabulous and I'll have hours of pleasure reviewing the images and watching the videos. Thank you thomas for sharing your passion/lifestyle/career here on TH-cam.
Tom, I sense an opportunity here to help pay for the Hasselblad Xpan II.
Reading through all the comments, the majority of them announce that the field oaks are the author's favourite. Therefore, perhaps a limited edition print run?? Anyway, another stunning Heaton masterclass in the art of photography. Thanks so much for keeping us all entertained over the years.
Ah! My neck of the woods. Literally. Great fun to see you in "my" forrest!
Stunning photography and great video overall.
I canNOT believe that Ektachrome looks like this! I’m inspired! Keep up the good work Thomas!
Some sweet shots. You're making me want to take my Rolleiflex 2.8D out for a spin soon. It's been a piece of artwork on my stereo rack for some years now.
Yeah, you finessed it enough, there was order in the chaos. Great stuff.
Some absolute bangers in that set, Thomas!! Great work! Hope you had a blast.
Those shots by the road was amazing when the light change I was saying YEAH! the light the clouds!.....loved the last shot with the different colors evenly split in 1/3's green then fall colors then grey clouds......thanks for giving me inspiration on the woodland that is about as much good scenery there is in my part of the world.
This video and images has to be my favourite. Those colours are so good.
Nice to see you find some nice landscapes here in Sweden, hope you enjoyed the trip, and the camera. :)
Those images were magical Thomas, great video. I thought at one point when you were by the road, that you knocked your camera over, it went black.. Enjoy the rest of your trip, I really want to try shooting square now, can you do it on a dslr?
I visit Söderåsen a few times a year and there's always something new to shoot. The forest and the river shift over time and since I live quite close nearby I often make a note to revisit a composition at a different time of year to see if it's settled into something more photogenic.
12:54 the photo is simply stunning !
Awsome video! Swedish landscapes are such a beautifull thing to photograph. Hope to go there sometime aswell!
Loved the last ones by the roadside..you definitely got lucky with the light.. very inspiring
lovely to see your excitement, pleasure, shooting on very different formats, Provia...
Some of my favorite photos in that National Park and the 90mm Oak Tress! Thanks, Thomas!
I would be doing well to capture those images in digital format Thomas, let alone in film. Just goes to show the talent you possess to create such great images
Beautiful stunning shot of the oak trees
Welcome to Sweden, Tom. I've shot Soderasen a few times and it's always stunning. I'm so glad to see you got beautiful conditions there, and some amazing compositions. It's given me another perspective on the place (and some roadside sights!) that I wouldn't have had otherwise.
Give a shout of you're coming this way again. There are some amazing coastal areas that I'm sure you'd enjoy.
Congrats on new combo! Top content!!
I'm always so impressed how you create order, or at least an appealing pattern, out of chaotic scenes. Fantastic as usual!
If you stick with the photo at 6:57 for a bit you realize that is awesome. Orange on the right, black with reflections in center as it moves over to yellow on the left with a lot of depth. Well Done, a great shoot in my eye .
BTW it would de interesting to se you experiment with X-Pan for vertical shoots.
Love the set of images so lovely.
Love the panorama photos - there is definitely something about film that gives it that timeless look and feel (if that makes sense!).
Fantastic video!!!! Great shots!!!
love your filmcontent so much!!
