    I've had an internet nightmare today, so this video is late. I have also taken the liberty of adding a pre-roll warning message about scam comments, so be aware & don't get scammed today. Finally. I forgot to plug my book in the video, so here is a link to my shop where you will find books & prints :) thomasheaton.co.uk/shop/ I hope you enjoy the video.

    Just started watching... The intro Thomas was brilliant.
    Well played on the acronym, actually laughed out loud.
    Will come back after seeing the rest of the video

      Enjoyed that video. In regards to the comparison between Infrared and the Nikons B/W convert. My son said that the infrared looked like a picture at Christmas ( hes 6 lol).
      Its a place id like to visit myself but you are not the only one to say its a luck of the draw type place.
      Panos both look good, I prefer the colour version personally. Hows the Nikon doing?

      Sooo don't get scammed by a TWAT. Good info. I actually feel for this on another channel when it first came out. Fortunately I figured out what was going on before it cost me any money. Thanks for the PSA on the TWAT's.

    I am fascinated by St Kilda and its history and to see the island from a photographers eye has been an enjoyable experience.

  • @pacoedw
    @pacoedw 2 ปีที่แล้ว +83

    I like the infrared more, simply because in the regular BW the vegetation and the ground are too similar in grey value. With the IR you have that contrast an variation on the island.

    • @Indrakusuma_a
      @Indrakusuma_a 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agree on that. In regular BW there's nothing striking in the image to caught our eyes attention, the island looks bare. But in IR, we get the texture details on the island, contrast against the dark clouds behind, easily getting our eyes to look straight at the island.

    I have been watching your videos for six years! My high school had a photography class and I never stopped. When I worked too much to get out and shoot I would watch your videos to feel like I was still going out and taking pictures. When I did have the time to get out, I would find motivation in your videos. I finally ordered your calendar for the first time and I'm excited to have a signed print from the guy I've been virtually shooting with for years! I truly love these videos.

    Gotta comment on the tremendous effort of setting the camera for every shot while you talk about what you're going to do with your other cameras, or while you trek up the mountain and all that. So well done, so much work in this video. Congrats! By the way, I fell in love with St Kilda (that's why I found this video!). Subscribed! keep it up.

    Thank you for taking us to the wild places where the majority of us average people may never have the privilege of going. Hounds of the Baskerville fog? When the first moon landing happened they interviewed some old guy in some state near Texas and he said he didn’t believe it it was just a TV show made in a studio and the earth is flat….. I saw the fog and thought he’s in a studio lol 😂 You are so privileged to shoot on location and we are so fortunate that you share in such a stellar way. Thank You 🙏

    Wow !! St Kilda l was glued to this. What a camp spot, pristine. IR Mmm not sure, nice to see the detail of the land, and as you say a bit of a snow storm. Its artistic for sure, but l do love a bit of atmosphere so praps l prefer the natural photo. Hey what a choice 😁 l would have had a hard job leaving without a photo of the birds in the landscape. Thanks for the warning at the beginning, such a blow that you have this going on, youre not alone. Big thanks Thomas for taking us along, deffinately one of the best. Take care Alioban xx

  • @dr.coconut

    I definitely prefer the infrared shot. The Z7 ends up making the rock so flat and muted. In contrast, the fuji brings out that brilliant white and more detail. It makes the image something special, while the Z7 makes the subject less interesting.
