It was a blast hanging out with you Thomas and going out for pics. It was a though environment for pretty pictures, but maybe that’s the educational tip in this video…if you want to exercise your photography muscles, go out in a tough environment with only one lens and shoot black and white. It will make you work hard for the shot and analyze every scene for forms, shapes and patterns without being able to rely on gorgeous colours or light to make the shot.

Coincidentally, my latest acquisitions are the Canon EOS R8 and a used Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD in EF mount, used together with a lens adapter. My mission is to show how to create a relatively low-cost kit capable of very high quality results, and this pairing is for nature, wildlife opportunities and it's highly capable, so I can highly recommend it. Other lenses in this basic kit include: *Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD in EF mount, as a standard zoom for general indoor-outdoor photography *Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro, for both macro and portraiture applications, and stitched panoramics *Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM, for low-light and portraiture applications, plus street and candid photos . Altogether, this is a highly competent kit for just knocking around, but could also be used for paying work. (Not recommended for wedding/event work, however.) BTW, I'm a retired corporate photographer of 30-plus years, with 4 large-format film cameras (3 - 4"x5" and 1 - 5"x7"), a Hasselblad film system with 2 "V" series bodies, 4 Rollie TLRs (both "Flex" and "Cord" bodies), many many digital systems, in mirrorless Canon and Sony, D-SLRs in Canon and Nikon, advanced digicams, action cameras, waterproof Olympus Tough digital camera systems, etc.

Yep, Simon reminded me about not being a stickler for ISO100 and Back Button focus on my recent 4 night stay at Pukaswa National Park. It was stormy as heck, but I got amazing wave shots, and Probably one of my favorites with a flock of Sand Pipers dancing back and forth among the surf. I did what he just said, and made myself a part of the landscape and went 'where they were going' they didn't care much about me, and for a minute I thought I was going to have Sandpipers flying into my face, and got some amazing shots because of it.

He certainly knows his stuff, but I think it’s entirely possible that much of his appeal just stems from the fact that he really comes across as a nice, regular guy. He’s not there to endlessly wow you with his adventures or photographic prowess, or to take up one banner or another in the endless gear wars, but to just pass on to his audience what strikes him as good advice based on his own experience. His catchphrase “I know you can do it!” really sums up what I think people like about him as much as anything. He’s inspiring just by being a really nice guy who’s found a measure of success in a field that all-too-often doesn’t produce nice people.

It is so awesome to see my 2 favorite Landscape and Wildlife Photographers get together to shoot.....Thanks Thomas for a greatly entertaining video....I really enjoy the content you both produce, I hope you guys get to shoot again together in a future video......

Simon is my brother! So glad I could catch you guys having fun! I am very proud of him

Thomas & Simon, there are many channels about photography, as time permits I watch many of them. For different reasons yours and Simon's are ones I rarely miss. The occasional collaboration between two pros is usually a treat. More please.

Thomas, never presume people are bored with repeating yourself. Because you're always talking to new subscribers, also repetition will mean you're voice will be in our heads when we're taking pics. Just don't waffle it. Simons quick about it. Step 1,2,3. I still have my driving instructor in my head because he spoke like Simon.

I would echo this comment. Not everyone starts at your early videos. At least repeat your steps from time-to-time. Nice to see you colaboratig with Simon, who I also follow.

Simon is a brilliant educator, been following his channel for the past year. Always easy to follow, plus we both have the Canon R5. Not sure you won that shoot Thomas. Looking forward to seeing more.

He taught me more in his videos than years of trial and error with other resources. I’m go grateful he shoots Canon because his preferences and tips are specifically relevant to my shooting. I owe him a big thanks! I am a FAN.

I love his bird photography videos! He IS the best..

I follow Simon as well! I've learnt more from watching Simon for five minutes than the usual herd of 'influencers'. That get flown out to Japan and given tons of freebies.

Two of my favorite Tubers. This was a fun watch.

Thomas, you sell yourself short. I'm a Simon d'Entremont subscriber too. Both of you impress me. I do like the discussion of what you are thinking while shooting a landscape. They are good reminders of what is important in capturing great compositions with the preferred camera settings with a purpose.

Yes! It’s awesome that you two got paired up!

What makes Thomas and Simon so special is how they both came to a similar conclusion to find compositions that would look pleasing and the technique (like black and white) to make a boring scene more interesting. They are professionals indeed.

Two of my favorite KZreadrs in one video!

I love it! Can't wait to see all of the videos and photos from this trip!

Nice to see Simon on your channel.

Simon is one of my favorites. I really enjoy his down to earth nature and the fact that he never says that he's better than the rest of us, although he clearly is.

Simon is absolutely the best teacher on KZread, without exception! Cheers!

Great to see you two together.

Fantastic to have 2 very tallented photographers working together. TH , you are a master & S d'E, another master. I love that you will be working together and bringing us some fantastic VLOG's and images. Looking forward to next week... CHEERS!!

Two of my favourite phototgraphers having fun and not being too serious while still sharing their knowledge and techniques. Love it!

Two of my favourite photographers. Looking forward to the coming KZread videos.

Simon is a treasure. I've been shooting since '76, but I watch all of his videos for reaffirmation, if nothing else.

Great seeing both of you together! Two of my favorite photographers and teachers. Can't wait to see the upcoming videos and photos. :) Thomas, please do repeat yourself, the steps and settings you are taking/using. I find it quite helpful and Simon's teaching style is a great example.

Looking good Simon, hope you had an amazing trip!

what a fun change of pace loved it

Two of my favorite, very accomplished photographers! I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos.

Love seeing collaboration videos like this!

Wow, Thomas and Simon in one video, I am so trilled. I’ve learned so much from you both. Thanks.

Fantastic video..... You both must have had a blast.... Great information...always... Thank you!

Great video. Two of my favorites to follow.

What chemistry you two have! Great first video Thomas and Simon. Looking forward to seeing the remainder of your trip!

I think that Simon’s videos got me into more photography channels initially. I’m sure I was looking for something specific that he made a little video on - and the fact that he uses Canon was probably a factor as I also have a Canon. He’s a terrific teacher. Now I follow both of you, Nigel, Mads, James Popsys and others. You all have your own style. You have me dreaming of throwing a camp mattress, stove and cooler in my car and just hitting the road to get out with my camera. Gotta ditch my full time job first.

Shout out to Nova Scotia! Cape Breton Island in particular :D

Nice to see you two hook up. Lots of great content on both your channels.

What a treat to see Thomas and Simon. Hello from Nova Scotia !!

So cool that you get to hang out together!!! Happy shooting!

Very cool to see the two of you together 🥰

I enjoy both your channels. Thomas, you have a very casual delivery that is refreshing. Not pretentious. Simon, I love hearing you say your name. High quality instructional videos but not too technical. Someday, I might live your lives. I am sure there is a ton of work that goes into all of this. I just want to travel and do what you do. Living vicariously through you.

Hello Thomas, i love seeing you two together, 2 of my most watched photographers! Hope you had fun!

Great to see you out with Simon. Definitely a difficult challenge, but i think both of you did well. Look forward to the next Thomas.

Awesome! Love the idea of the 2 of you going on a shoot

Simon is my favorite teacher and mentor in wild life photography! I love he`s work and I respect he`s character.

Simons key to success is his taste in music 😳

Hooray! I am literally at the 0:01 mark. I just wanted you to know that I enjoy your work so very much, but I love to see you bring new-to-some-people into the fold. I am sorry you have had to put up with Hardcastle, but you're a better man for it. I look forward to more engagement from you with both known and unknown people. You're a bright spot in a world of photo-tubers.

That was a big surprise for me. I have been following both of you for a while. To see you both together was a big fun 😂.

I agree.. one of the best for sure. The pacing & structure of his videos are great.

It’s great how you KZread photographers and content makers get together. Two of my fav guys together! Simon has unknowingly taught me several things about my camera, even though I use an MFT. Looking forward to more videos from Svalbard! Great video and challenge, Tom!🇦🇺

Great video. Thanks both. Following Simon thanks to Thomas and loving his channel too. ❤❤❤❤

Can’t wait to see your photos from the north!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Well done guy's.

Oh yes, Simon really is the best! Clear, interesting, perfectly explained. Nothing more to say!

I was his channel as well,I am Canadian and I'd say he's up there will skills and knowledge of photography and definitely worth following his channel as well as this one!👍

Another great video Thomas, always a pleasure to watch and learn. Simon is awesome also!!

Thank you to both of you for ALL your educational videos. I LOVE YOUR METHODS IN TEACHING… i love how you teach … repetition is EXCELLENT . It is super helpful . Please keep them coming !!! Love them !!

Two fantastic tutors in photography in two different genre's, great to see you both together well done.🎉

Two of my favorite photographers

Two of my favorite University of KZread instructors (and entertainers)!

Love you both!!! Long time viewer of you both!

I’ve learned from both of these luminaries. It’s great to see them collaborate.

Wonderful. Simon a great Canadian Photographer and Teacher. IMHO he's taken Wildlife especially Bird photos to rarified heights I'm driving to the Canadian East coast in July. Great seeing you both together.

Have watched loads of Simon’s tutes… top simple to follow lessons

Loved it!

Informative and genuinely entertaining video from two of the best!

Two of my favorite photographers together. I love it! I always do a dark exposure before and after pano photos. That way I know which shots were meant to be panos when editing. Thanks for this video. Great fun watching pros at work.

Simon is not only a great photographer, he is also the only one I know on his level of presenting a subject, teaching and broadcasting his thoughts. It's immaculate.

Great chemistry guys

I think you nailed it on the head when you said "I know what landscapes are to come". Last year before we boarded the ship I thought Longyearbyen was fantastic but on our return to Longyearbyen the best I could do was photograph the fire escapes and the shadows they created.

beauty of a video

Great video, and nice to see the two of you working together, The reason I really enjoy the content both of you produce is because you focus on photography rather than gear. Too many KZread people only concentrate on the latest cameras.

I'm learning so much from this pair, I feel extremely fortunate to have stumbled upon their channels so early on in my photography.

Yes, Simon is the best.

Two great photographers.

Yay, a new video! Thomas, please don't worry about being repetitive, that's how a lot of us learn. Even though I don't shoot with the same gear, I will ask myself "how would Thomas shoot this?" to get a good exposure or composition. Enjoy your trip! Cheers from the USA

This looks like a lovely place to shoot!! Thanks !!

TGIF… what a great way to end the week with Tom and Simon.

Fun video, I enjoyed your colaboration with Simon

Great content with 2 great photographers. Thank you.

this concept is brilliant. and u two did a nice job of putting it together.

Omg the best 2 You Tube content providers on the internet. Great video 😊

Can't wait to see more of your stuff from Svalbard! After visiting myself several years ago, anytime I see stuff from there, it leaves me nostalgic.

Great idea for a collab! Love it

Hi guys. I'm watching you both. I look at Thomas longer and harder because landscape is my favorite genre of photography. But recently I started shooting wildlife, mostly birds. We wish you a successful development of KZread channels and fresh ideas for videos.

Two Photography Greats. What a pleasure to watch this. Simone is really rocking it. Every day when I get up and get on my treadmill I click on KZread and he's on the top of my feed. I used to watch dozens of photographers' channels...but as I've improved, I have narrowed my selection of instructors. You and Simone are at the top of the list along with about 4 others that I watch religiously. (I just watched your Polar Bear Video. WOW!) Thanks for all the knowledge you've shared with me...and as always...thanks for taking me along!

Funnily enough, Simon is the channel I've honed in on as as get back into photography (from the early days of film). That's how I discovered you through him interviewing you... What appeals to me is (pardon my deliberate analogies) that his videos are well framed and focussed subject wise with the correct, useful level of details. He doesn't feel the need to show-off; you're right, he's a good teacher.

Pet photography! Yes!!! I think Simon is a natural teacher which is good for those of us who like to learn, to remember things we've forgotten and apply things in different, new, situations. He hit the nail on the head with that. I have to say as a pet photographer I'm extremely happy you did an image of a dog. Thank you!!!

Didn't know this was gonna be a super star-studded episode! Two my my favourite photographers in one video 👌🏾😎

Good fun!! 😃👍

If you like your education straight from the hip then Simon is the man. Thomas you are about the enthusiasm, because of you my wallet is lighter after purchasing a Infrared converted camera. Thanks to you both.

Wow, I just watched two of my favorite Photographers on KZread. The next thing I know 12 minutes passed!!! great stuff guys!

Loved it, nice shots and it made you look for stuff out if the norm. these little photowalks youve been doing are great, it is always entertaining and very informative. I'll give Simon a follow

Amazing video! I have learned so much from both of you, and seeing you guys hang out for some awesome captures is really fun! And yes that dog was indeed really cute :D
