This video is well overdue. I skipped last week due to a severe bout of somethain' nasty. Anyway, I'm all better now and I hope you enjoy this video 👍 Oh, and I'm currently in international waters and might struggle to read comments until tomorrow.
I'm taking my lil nissan NV200 out Saturday night... astrophotography is my passion, but weather be damned, I'm having a night away and see what Dawn brings
There is always that extraordinary feeling I get every time I see a landscape photo with a very calm background - mist/lake/clouds. Nothing comes closer to that feeling. Thank you for these wonderful shots ❤️
Hi Tom, I have been complaining about the crop issue for nearly 2 years. All the firmware updates at the moment seem to be for the Z9. I would love to see the crop issue solved too.
Hi Thomas, glad you’re feeling better. Those are beautiful shots!😁 As always, I really enjoyed this vlog. You really have created your own style to your channel that I just love. I get cozy with a cup of coffee and take in your wonderful photography, awesome footage and interesting voice over work. Your channel was the first that I discovered years ago. I have loved you taking us around the world on your awesome photography adventures, watching you capture gorgeous shots while learning a lot. To this day, I still have times when I’m out struggling to capture a shot and I think, “What might Thomas do here?”. I am a loyal fan of your channel. I’ve learned new helpful things, watched you travel to beautiful locations I had not previously known (and can’t travel to) and see you capture jaw dropping, gorgeous shots. Even the times when you don’t come away with a great pic, or a pic at all, I appreciate seeing those vlogs because they’re real and they show the struggle that landscape photography frequently can be. Those vlogs are also interesting. For all of the effort you have put into your channel and enjoyment you have brought to so many, THANK YOU! Your channel remains fantastic.
Hey Thomas. Yes the Nikon way is what you crop is what you get. No more and no less in the saved file. Got a chuckle when you were attaching the 100-400. Nikon again chose to have the treading opposite of the other major camera makers. Oh well. Still great gear. Gotta love those fog shots you got; beautiful.
This is some of the most stunning photography (and conditions) I’ve seen on your channel in a while Tom. You are really blessed to have been there for that morning and captured the scene as well as you have. Bravo mate.
You also have an amazing family which supports your decisions . Their contributions are clearly visible in your content . Hattsoff to them for supporting your legacy your dreams . 🙂
A cooking solution is a small microwave. As a truck driver here in the states I’m away from home for 4 nights a week and with the electric cooler similar to yours and a microwave oven I’m set every night.
Great to have you back (and healthy). If a week goes by without you sharing your latest adventure, I miss it. For me, it's like checking in on a friend. Thanks, friend.
I share your love of the simple practicality of car camping. Aka, boondocking. Given that I shoot a lot at night, it just seems wasteful to pay for hotels and be trapped by reservations. I've done up to 20 days on one 6k mile trip in my metal moving tent, affectionately known as the PhotoSub (2005 Chevy Suburban). I need to get out for more 2 or 3 day trips.
I have been with you since day one and have marveled through you landscape journey with you joy of developing and living with your van. But that has to be the best moment of shooting I have seen. That one moment explains more why we do what we do, that moment of peace and tranquility and sheer beauty is just a marvel to see. With all the travelling you have done and the fabulous places you have visited, it happens in woods by a lake on your doorstep in good old blighty. What a moment when nature is just perfect. By the way I have Thomas Calendar and it is well worth buying.
We've been worried all week that something had happened to you last week. We knew it had to be something unusual because you never miss a post. Glad to hear that you have recovered and are feeling better now. Loved this week's water shots. Over the years I've made a few of them with this type of subject matter and always look forward to finding an opportunity. Yours were really inspiring and the mood was captured perfectly.
I have a LWB Delica, only the cam chain tensioner ceased and broke the cam chain, RIP. I found it frustrating that I couldn't wind down the rear windows when shooting wildlife, but it was quite comfy sleeping on the Lay Flat seating. Now use Transit with double mattress when touring France and Spain, as you say, nothing like waking up to a good sunrise with crashing surf 50 yards away.
You really make a good job of your videos, it's like being there with a good friend (who knows a lot about photography). The places you visit if raining or not doesn't matter and you have me thinking about my next car lol, rainy night in a cozy van then up in the morning to stunning scenery. The extra effort you make filming comming and going meaning you do everything twice, unless you have a secret camera person.
I’m in love with your lifestyle and van. I’m due to retire within the next two years and I’m desperate to do something similar although my photos won’t be anything like yours. Keep them coming Thomas, I look forward to them every week.
Something about this video subtly tells me that you really love your van 😂 Joking aside, it seems that you have two machines that have given you the ability to enjoy the outdoors fully - your camera(s) and your van. Beauty!
Hi Tom, it is good to see you eating home made food and not the chemically infused ‘food’. And it is also good to see you up and well. Another great clip. Enjoy your O/S trip.
Nice to see you back Thomas and hope you are well on the mend now. The weather here on the west coast of Scotland has been fairly unsettled recently so it was nice to see the conditions being in your favour in the morning. Loved the images from this week, especially the final one.
Just amazing.. I just don't get how you do it. You have such an eye for a unique, sublime image. Something just always sets you apart from other landscapers. I can't put my finger on what it is.
I swear every month I think is he getting better than he was last month? Truly a mark on your dedication and skill to continuously put out quality and improved work
Get an electric dual hob for your van. You can plug it into your big battery. Easy to clean and no danger from a naked flame. We use one camping inside our tent.
Incredible how beautiful these images are; It's always a joy for me to watch your videos; they are like... meditation. To allow the beauty of nature, to mediate you! I lOVE it.
I love the way you compose your photos. So much thought and the final compositions are amazing. Your videos are so easy and enjoyable to watch. Thankyou.
Thank you for the inspiration and my fiance is not a photographer, yet, but you are inspiring her to purchase her first camera and to incorporate her love of the outdoors and to join me and my passion, for 40 years now and with just retiring I am able to get out in this great state of Wisconsin and enjoy the 4 seasons with camera in hand! plus REALLY looking forward to artistically enjoying the first snowfall!
I love videos where you show a lot of your van experiences. You seem like the happiest person in the world doing what you do! And sharing that entire experience is what I enjoy most about your content. I've received my signed copy of your calendar! Thanks for the personal touch. I'm a huge fan of your work!
The first one you show in the video is so stupidly simple that I would probably ditched it because "it needs something else" and turns out, amazing photograph.
Great you're feeling better again! The video was worth the wait. Quintessential Heaton: storytelling, adventure, bit of humor and great photography beautifully constructed into 15 minutes of excellent watching. Thanks!
Hi Thomas another great video. It really is nice to see how much your confidence has come along these last few years, regarding your presentation to us the audience. You seem more confident and relaxed, which in turn makes a great video. You draw us in on your trip, It makes me really enjoy watching you and by the end of the video be part of your trip...your photos are as usual fab. But you really as I say have become more confident and relaxed with yourself. I am so pleased for you. Carry on your fab videos. Cheers Steve
I may have misunderstood your question about aspect ratio but reading up on the 7ii manual, when you change aspect ratio you are effectively cropping it and reducing the Megapixel count from 45 mp to around 30mp
This video is well overdue. I skipped last week due to a severe bout of somethain' nasty. Anyway, I'm all better now and I hope you enjoy this video 👍 Oh, and I'm currently in international waters and might struggle to read comments until tomorrow.
Glad to hear you’re out on adventure since you didn’t get medical clearance for the trip with Brendan. Hope it doesn’t effect you in any other way.
On a ship I hope. Curious as to what model your van is? Oh saw it at the end. Sharp little camper.
7:45 storm still continues but he goes shooting anyway, what a hero !
Must be far away still, no lighthing, just thunder.
8:51, absolutely no words. Stunning.
10:30 is a simply beautiful image: simple and beautiful.
ahhh. Nothing like the calming sounds of the morning in the middle of nowhere ( 7:44 )
it must have been a duck :P
Ripper!!
so i'm not the only one that heard the "duck" then 😉😄
This kind of small pleasure, sounds of nature !
Lol had to double take. Better out than in
7:44 sounds like a sneaky morning trump to me. Im laughing anyway. Keep up the good work mate.
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
I just want to say my friend, your story telling is just as exceptional as your photography. An example of a UA-cam video being art!
Nice to have the Versatility of the Camper Van! Home away from Home.
That last photo with the birch tree is amazing. So soft but the tree pops from the composition.
I'm taking my lil nissan NV200 out Saturday night... astrophotography is my passion, but weather be damned, I'm having a night away and see what Dawn brings
Love those pics with the reeds. Many thanks.
the quality of these pictures is amazing…
Those conditions gives meaning to being a landscape photographer!
Awesome veido thanks for posting about your incredible photography
There is always that extraordinary feeling I get every time I see a landscape photo with a very calm background - mist/lake/clouds. Nothing comes closer to that feeling. Thank you for these wonderful shots ❤️
Hi Tom, I have been complaining about the crop issue for nearly 2 years. All the firmware updates at the moment seem to be for the Z9. I would love to see the crop issue solved too.
I really liked the sound of the raindrops falling on the roof in stereo!

wow, what a really nice comment to read. Thank you for taking the time to write it. I hope you continue to enjoy the channel into the future 👍
I agree wholeheartedly. I think you have put into words what many of us are thinking. A Thomas video is always a treat.
Hey Thomas. Yes the Nikon way is what you crop is what you get. No more and no less in the saved file. Got a chuckle when you were attaching the 100-400.

Always good to get a Thomas Heaton video notification👌😎

Lovelly as always, take care and all the best

12:48 I love the way the birch is reaching up to the light, or so it seems. Gorgeous! 👋🇨🇦
10:33. That photo surprised me. Loved it!
Absolutely love that first minimalist shot. Some might say it's boring or too 'easy', but it's what attracts me the most.
Yay! Thomas is back. Great video! I hope you're feeling better.
Last image is gorgeous!! Love the softness of the mist and muted colors.
I've been subscribed since your first wild camping video and It blows my mind how good you've become at making these videos and presenting your work.
Thanks a lot, Heath. it's like anything, the more you do something, the better you become 👍
Great to have you back (and healthy). If a week goes by without you sharing your latest adventure, I miss it. For me, it's like checking in on a friend. Thanks, friend.
Stunningly beautiful photos thanks Thomas
It must be so cozy to sleep hearing the rain on the roof. =O)
1st and 3rd lake shots are my favs and love the 4 trees in the mist.❤️📷
Glad you made it to D&G Tom. Great video as usual. Good to hear you’ve recovered too.

Wow 💥, I can feel the Misty atmosphere through your Photos. Really awosome 👌👌👍👍👍👍
Brilliant images, as always.

Simply lovely….
What a difference a day makes, from horrid to superb. Beautiful images in the morning mist 👌 and the van makes it all possible in comfort 👍

Beautiful ethereal images
Stunning Photos!
Classic episode - great - many thanks!

Lovely soft images
That last shot Tom was an absolute stunner mate!

glad to see you back, missed you last week ... the bullrushes in the mist are great
Love that last shot! I’m jealous of your freedom that flows from the use of your van.
Nikon's picture is gorgeous....5+
I’m in love with your lifestyle and van. I’m due to retire within the next two years and I’m desperate to do something similar although my photos won’t be anything like yours.
Keep them coming Thomas, I look forward to them every week.
Fog seems to carry a beauty all its own, to places I've seen many times before. Beautiful images and an added mystery of what stove you'll pick.
Stunning photos mate. Absolute crackers!! ❤
I love the camping trips, I favored the the first and last photos. Looking forward to the winter weather photos.
Something about this video subtly tells me that you really love your van 😂 Joking aside, it seems that you have two machines that have given you the ability to enjoy the outdoors fully - your camera(s) and your van. Beauty!
This was ethereal... Thomas just giveth and giveth...😄
Hi Tom, it is good to see you eating home made food and not the chemically infused ‘food’. And it is also good to see you up and well. Another great clip. Enjoy your O/S trip.
Nice to see you back Thomas and hope you are well on the mend now. The weather here on the west coast of Scotland has been fairly unsettled recently so it was nice to see the conditions being in your favour in the morning. Loved the images from this week, especially the final one.
Sweden is renowned for one particular film camera but pano....mmmm. Another great vid buddy 👌
Just amazing.. I just don't get how you do it. You have such an eye for a unique, sublime image. Something just always sets you apart from other landscapers. I can't put my finger on what it is.
Lovely images, that soft light. Magic!
This is the perfect well rounded video.
I swear every month I think is he getting better than he was last month? Truly a mark on your dedication and skill to continuously put out quality and improved work
Great video, amazing photos in a stunning location
Raiders' Road
Get an electric dual hob for your van. You can plug it into your big battery. Easy to clean and no danger from a naked flame. We use one camping inside our tent.
Incredible how beautiful these images are; It's always a joy for me to watch your videos; they are like... meditation. To allow the beauty of nature, to mediate you! I lOVE it.
The images you captured are amazing! Especially, the minimalist reed photo. Wow!
The cross section of the forest with three trees is so Heaton! Love it!
brilliant work. Some artistic thought there
I love the way you compose your photos. So much thought and the final compositions are amazing. Your videos are so easy and enjoyable to watch. Thankyou.
The reeds in the second image remind of those early patent pictures of new lenses 😂 Stunning photography though Thomas.
That square shot of the reeds is glorious. Beautiful cinematography and storytelling, too, Tom. Loved this.
Thank you for the inspiration and my fiance is not a photographer, yet, but you are inspiring her to purchase her first camera and to incorporate her love of the outdoors and to join me and my passion, for 40 years now and with just retiring I am able to get out in this great state of Wisconsin and enjoy the 4 seasons with camera in hand! plus REALLY looking forward to artistically enjoying the first snowfall!
I enjoyed this video Tom, well done.

And sharing that entire experience is what I enjoy most about your content. I've received my signed copy of your calendar! Thanks for the personal touch. I'm a huge fan of your work!
I always enjoy watching your videos. Great landscapes and the photos inspire me to step up my game!
Hehe Brilliant
These images were absolutely beautiful.
Glad you’re feeling better Thomas ❤
Your sock game is on point!
I like your van setup
The first one you show in the video is so stupidly simple that I would probably ditched it because "it needs something else" and turns out, amazing photograph.
One of your best videos ever along with some spectacular shots. Thanks so much. Glad you’re feeling better. I’m ordering one of your calendars.
Absolutely love that van👍👍
Beautiful shots on the lake, very intimate and soft indeed!
Glad to hear you are doing better
Great you're feeling better again! The video was worth the wait. Quintessential Heaton: storytelling, adventure, bit of humor and great photography beautifully constructed into 15 minutes of excellent watching. Thanks!
It was worth the wait
Make your aspect ratio swapping easier by setting it to the "i" button so you can swap on the fly without jumping through all the menus
Hi Thomas another great video. It really is nice to see how much your confidence has come along these last few years, regarding your presentation to us the audience. You seem more confident and relaxed, which in turn makes a great video. You draw us in on your trip, It makes me really enjoy watching you and by the end of the video be part of your trip...your photos are as usual fab. But you really as I say have become more confident and relaxed with yourself. I am so pleased for you. Carry on your fab videos. Cheers Steve
Really hit the jackpot with those conditions. Lovely photos.
Super vid with some stunning images Thomas, 👍👍
Really enjoyed this one Tom (in fairness I enjoy all of them).
I may have misunderstood your question about aspect ratio but reading up on the 7ii manual, when you change aspect ratio you are effectively cropping it and reducing the Megapixel count from 45 mp to around 30mp
Brilliant, entertaining, inspiring!
Classic Heaton!
Check out portable induction cooktops. Don’t know if it’s possible to connect one inside your van though.
Your videos are outstanding.
