I Stole This From Thomas Heaton
I stole this from Thomas Heaton. Landscape photography done in 1 take at a location I've never been!

I love landscape photography because it's calming. But what happens when you go out to a location you've never been before and try to make a photo and a video in just one take? Well, it gets a little bit more frantic. Landscape photography gets a little bit more real.
So, on today's episode we headed to a really cool photo location where I thought I could maybe steal and idea from Thomas Heaton and try to make a landscape photography vlog in just one take. The result, actually, was pretty good.

It'd be good to see more 1 take videos from you dude. You keep it entertaining and still share valuable information about setting up and finding a good composition. Final image looks amazing.
You dudes need to start paying Greg more because he provides a brand new youtube photography genre for you! I love those one take videos!
Couldn’t help wondering if the other photographers minded having you in their sunset images of the not so pristine beach and arch? Ha ha. Great images though and unique!
Love it, and so good to watch somebody who does and says to himself all the same things I do, rather than sounding totally smooth and perfect!
Absolutely stunning!

Why not, he stole the video from him.
I have been watching all your videos for at least 2-3 years...this is one of your coolest videos!
Best video ever! I feel so encouraged by watching you struggle especially when you realize your camera is set to a two second timer. I feel so much better about where I'm at as a Photographer seeing we all have our struggles. Master Photographer Thomas Heaton would be proud of you Brendan. 🐼👍🏽✌️🍻

Liked the both shots - loved the last one though! Thanks Brendan for sharing your wonderful works :)
The best vid I've watched from you in a while Brendan.....you put across so much excitement I got totally caught up in it....both images were fab but the 1st one was awesome 👌👌
Good job BVS Greg once again has come through on the video skillz Wish I had him when I did my version of this concept Well done guys
This video is sponsored by ' Stolen from Thomas Heaton' Always good to see these video's of 'A Challenge' !

Brilliantly funny, honest photography video, really enjoyed watching! Thank you!
Great video... especially the scouting. I’m sticking with the lee system, because that adapter looked like a ball ache 😖 lmao 😂 Cheers Jase
Love the one take video. Makes the rest of us not feel so klutzy!
Beautiful photos! Do more of these videos!

I use NiSi. The holder handle is spring-loaded so you pull it, not twist. Just be sure to hook the little tab on the opposite side onto the adapter. A little practice and it becomes easy. Really nice image after all that!
Shot looked great, Brendan, in spite of the frantic moments. Like the one-take video. It showed us neophytes that our panic while shooting is not unusual.
Like your new one take vlog format "Thomas Van Son or is it Brendan Heaton" :) and as always a great photo at the end
I like this mate in one go you did a good job keeping it interesting. Nice location. Richard
great video. glad I am not alone in getting overwhelmed at a location. love the video, true to real life.
Great video and always showing great contents
The end photo is spectacular. good job on that man.
Nice... Didn’t see Thomas do this but I love the idea! Good to see I’m on the right track by fumbling and bumbling around on a shoot since a pro does it too 😜 I hope you make more of these.
So much fun with this episode Brendan, glad you stole Thom 😄
That location is awesome! Although I had to stay back with the rest of the people, I remember seeing hundreds of bats swarming that area around sunset! I like the idea of the 1-take video. I'd say you should do more of them, but I have this feeling that Thomas will try to take your lens again the next time you guys go to Patagonia, lol!
keep pushing yourself Brendan. Enjoyed it greatly!
this was great haha, I know you said you don't like it, BUT you killed it, good job!
Epic shots!!
That looked like fun 😁 And you been frazzled, made me feel that it’s ok to fumble around until I get it! So many times I (and many of us I’m sure) get self conscience trying to get the correct set-up, the correct settings etc etc , while others around us just set-up once and know exactly what they are doing! I guess that if one doesn’t try, one won’t get anywhere hey? Bring on summer and longer sunsets 🌅 !
Hahaa I really enjoy this video, its funny I remember when Thomas take your long lens and run away 🤣🤣
ha ha love this vlog its a happy mish mash like my vlogs with a million cuts lol and you do a job on them winstons keep smiling buddy

Wow it's great to know I'm not the only one that runs around. In a panick trying to get the shot and making the same flustered mistakes haha. Still, you got a great shot...unlike me 🤔
I love this style of filmmaking xD it's similar to playing a video game in POV or watch videos in VR
This was very entertaining, Brendan.. It's so nice that your buddy, what's his name, is there to keep things going. I know you're in some anguish due to your girl friend's illness. Greg???? Nice that he's there to keep your spirits up. jan
Nice result! I think Thomas gives it a bit more thought prior to starting a video. As I recall, the last time he did this, he was standing on a cliff, so there were no fences to jump without the severest of consequences. Of course, Greg did his as well. Rock on!
One take might be working for you Brendan! Love the final shots!
Brendan, I'm only at point 3:09 in the video and I'm thinking; "Holy cow...someone's going down here". I don't mean security...I'm thinking those wet, mossy, rocks. I was in Hawaii a few months back walking around on the black volcanic rocks near the ocean. They had a little wet moss on them (and I had my water shoes on) and man were they slippery. Almost broke my neck....I'm really hoping no one falls....still watching but "WOW" what a great location! Thanks for sharing...
Excellent video and 2 great images. Wish that I could shoot stuff like this for my channel. Thanks.
Wow! That was hectic! I keep wondering why you (and other pro photographers) don’t use wireless remote shutter triggers.
Damn that Thomas Heaton for making it look so easy! Sweet shot, did you do a landscape version too?
What was the location Brendan great video as always, have you shot in Cornwall before? Where's you fav place to shiot ?

Nailed it. Nice work. And I don't think the audio was that bad.
When the light/motion is correct and nothing working as it should it can be frustrating. But Brendan you really did a fantastic job considering the circumstances.

Do you know if it is possible to do a vertical pano in light room/ photoshop. I can’t think how to get over the distortion as you photograph the highest parts
You did manage to get good results though! Nice pictures! How do you get used to people staring at you like the man in the beginning when you're making videos? I would love to start making videos myself, but that is kind of what is holding me back most..
It's a pristine beach he says as he walks all over it! I hope no-one else was doing the wide vista bit lol Seriously though, good work and very real.

Smooth is something I've never been advised of being. Haha
Had me chuckling.
I've used Nisi for a couple of years. Love the filters. BUT I still find it tricky to be sure the filter holder has locked on. Always check carefully before letting go. As the circular polariser installs INTO the front-of-lens "mount / adapter" it might be worth considering getting a second mount/adapter so that one can be left with the CP permanently installed; and the other without its CP. Because i'd find it too frustrating trying to get the CP in and out of the mount. Maybe someone else has found a more elegant/cost effective solution.
Yes a great spot just the other side from Tanah Lot and everytime I have been there (early sunrise and late set) you were able to get down onto the beach, I reckon they just close it to the midday tourists :)
I ask people/friends on mine for suggestions for photo challenges. Brendan I challenge you to make a video with as many pictures as you would like to take, and you may use what ever lens and filters that you choose. Now the challenging part. Zero, no editing/post possessing. Yes I'm going to challenge Thomas to do the same thing.
Very Reasonable dude

How does Master of Fine Art, Nature & Landscape Photography Thomas Heaton do it? he seems pretty relax doing the one take. And yes, i could imagine that moment where he says "This video is sponsored by square space, if you need a website visit squarespace/Heaton" :D Brendon, Love your final photo,is it a blend of multiple shots?

Loved the video and the one take, but I gotta say... Aren't you now directly in everyone else's shots? Unless no one was shooting wide angle you're now in the foreground of those not able to go down there.

There was no one else down there. From up top, is have been a mere spec in their photo. But, I'm guessing even from up top the angle would have made it so I was blocked by foliage
I can’t find the face buried in hands emoji .... good effort you would think Greg would have given you some tips since he shot Thom’s....I’m kinda curious was he snickering at you the whole time? I’m sure the next one will be better 😁

He was laughing most of the time. Mostly while he was trying his best not to slip and fall on the rocks.
I was waiting the camera and tripod to fall into the water when a wave come crashing in.
I’m going to have at least a week concentrating on shooting portrait format. Maybe I’ll get a cover shot 😀
just shows what pro photographer can do the image on the video looked boring and flat however you finished shot was great did you have to some exposure blending in post ?

Tbf. The 3LT tripod build quality is atrocious. If they cost half the price or so, the cost may be reasonable, but for their ticket price they are so shoddy.
Greg told me I could go there, officer
I have been down there a few times last year, had no problems. Jumped over the fence 2 weeks ago, 30 mins before a nice sunset, i get yelled at by the security to pack my stuff and come back up. It was such a shame :(.

Very exciting. Pressure, that always get things done. A great vid. You could have done a one shot of a sunset or something less dynamic so that was brave. That and the anxiety of trespassing and arrest.
You say you stole Thomas Heatons idea, isn't that the basis of photography? Not plagerism, I mean by watching and learning by going out to try same set ups etc. One main reasons I watch is to learn then go out and do... Good vid as always 😉
You certainly need more KZread followers and viewers in order to buy a new tripod :)
You should always use a cable release kind of like Thomas Heaton Haha :-) You are inducing shake to your images any pro knows that!

Push the shutter down before you start and let them fly. On mirrorless you don't have a shutter flopping around. As long as your tripod is stable it'll be fine. None of these images, has even the slightest bit if shake.

You should slow down a bit. You are talking to fast and stressed out in my opinion here. Slow down a bit and let Greg give you signs of how long you have been filming.
