I came to your channel for the landscape photography 7 years ago when I started photography at 23yo. I am now 30 and have been short listed and highly commended in multiple national photography awards and am in conversations with a global photojournalism magazine about publishing a story. I still enjoy you videos as much as the day I discovered them. the little nuggets you've given out during your videos have helped me so much earn money, get accolades and make many people happy with photos ive taken for them. I know you might not read this but a massive thanks for unknowingly helping my career.
@@Brock_in_the_NorthWell if you think you can or you think you can't... You're right! Always a lot to learn from if have an open mind. You find what you seek... Reap what you sow.
Alternate script: "...but truth be know I couldn't really get going this morning......so, where's that beer box? LOL!! I'm guessing this was shot a bit ago since those colors were still present. I saw some pics today from someone I know in Keith, Scotland and it was full of snow!! Any, thanks for taking us along. Have a great weekend!
Mist and trees shot and the high waterfall shot are the best, because they actually say 'Cairngorms'. Photos should tell a story about where you are and how it feels!
To stop my gear from Fogging up I got a plastic sealed box to fit my damp/wet camera bag into with some reusable silica gel packs. I also got a large ice cream tub with more silica gel in for the Body alone. I was having issues when sleeping in the car (with a bed) which gets pretty damp at night with condensation, Works a treat.
Well, I suppose at age 81 I'm one of the oldest subscribers to Thomas Heatons's channel. Don't know how many years it's been but I still look forward to his posts every Wednesday. Although I'm mostly a bird photographer I still look forward to the post peak season for autumn color. One of my most successful images this fall was a small birch stem with the sunlight backlighting the brilliant yellow leaves against a dark background tinged by just a bit of autumn color. You don't always have to have a great mountain vista for an autumn image. I fact, I've come to prefer picking out the bits and pieces of autumn color that remain after most of the leaves have dropped.
As this video starts, the frustration! When it happens I have learned to stop walking. Mindset time, this is not greatness of greatness days. Acceptance and joy of just being out releases the pressure, sometimes its an instant reward.
Haha thanks for that at the end, Michelle was watching with me 🤣🤣! - also you've made it in to my Friday video ;) Great images and always an inspiration for me to get out with the camera...
Next time you're up this way and you're driving up the A9 , then you pass right past my favourite location , The Hermitage (just outside Dunkeld). I heartily recommend you pay it a visit.
Smashing photos Thomas, what I do think though is that you need to take someone with you on your walks or meet up with someone and have a bit of banter but most importantly a bit of company. This last wee while I seem to come away with the feeling that your a bit depressed and not up for going out taking photographs, please get someone to keep you company now and again and gee you up for the photographs your about to get. 😁👍
Those images just got better as you continued through the video. On a tanget, in the first few seconds of the vid, I know its it the snorkel on the van, but does anyone else think it looks like a ghostly face peering in at you? Now I have seen it I can't un-see it.
Great video Thomas. My calendar arrived very promptly, thank you. Oh, and in our house we use "mizzle" quite often - more than mist, not quite drizzle.
Out of all the photography youtubers I always come back to thomas heaton. Im entertained, inspired and in awe of the images. I'm not a photographer but that doesn't matter, I just like a good explore and I think thats out common ground.
The aggressive gestures in the river voice over shot were unhinged and I'm absolutely here for it, haha! The shot was absolutely magnificent too. Another great video Tom, good to see you continuing your long run of excellent form since I found your channel in early 2015!
Great gesturing Tom. You should do more of that. Lovely shots. I loved the first shot of the broken tree as it was something unique and something you found yourself. Not a stereotype or 'stamp collection' image. Great video.
Use the small carabiner/hook of the Kase filter holder and hook it through your zipper pull of your jacket. The pull has a hole in it. No need to put the holder with filters down in precarious positions and your filters are always on you! Nick Page loved my idea when I was with him on a photo shoot in Oregon! 4 other participants also copied my idea and Nick ended up taking a shot with his iPhone with us 5 lining up with our filter case dangling from our chest!
Enjoyed the video as usual Thomas. Yep rain that's Scotland for you. You captured some really nice image's especially the waterfall and river ones. Look forward to the next one and hope the weather is good to you.
Another excellent video..there are many times that we walk and struggle to find an image..loved your gesturing by the river...many thanks and best wishes
At 13:05 there was a view through the windscreen which would have made a great abstract. I have seen some beaut images taken through rain soaked windows. Great storytelling as usual.
Thomas Heaton doing what Thomas Heaton does best. Hiking in the UK and finding images, not finding images, battling the weather, that's what I subscribed to many years ago. Keep up this type of content please. Russ
With all this talk about how long been subscribed, I looked at mine and realised that November makes it exactly 9 years. I am just a simple picture taker but I really enjoy watching your passionate journey. Carry on making the good stuff.
Great images Thomas. I loved how you carried the grille of an old jaguar in the bottom of the shot with the rapids. It just looks like you put the whole car underneath there 😂 grt guido
Hey Thomas. I followed the link and got the beer, cheers! In one of your videos a while back you were excited to receive a classic photography book for your collection. Could you share what your Top 10 classic photography books are? I would be really interested to know. Anyways, love your work...
Very good video Thomas as usual!!!! I’ve tried to check it out but I couldn’t seem to figure it out, but I hope you’re still using your “IFootage” tripod and it looks like you are. I purchased one just because of your review and all of the times I saw you using it and I don’t understand why this incredible piece of kit isn’t in everybody’s arsenal!!!!! I will never forget the day that I saw it, or the day it was delivered and I pulled it out of the box!!!! The quality, and engineering is amazing!!! I can only say that it has never gone above my expectations!!!! Thanks!!!!
I've been following you for 5 years :)). Autumn in your area is magical with yellow leaves and you can freely compose photos to create beautiful photos. In my country, Vietnam is a tropical rain zone, so there are very few yellow-leafed trees, and they are not protected, so the proportion of natural forests is small.
There's nothing else like a little wet adventure. Thanks for taking us along with you Thomas. I didn't mind the rain at all. Thanks for sharing your process.
2:41 a beautiful detailed image, new word in this video "mizzle" the mix of mist and drizzle, day 2 the combination of mist and fog, "Mog"? 10:11 a simple limited colour image 11:55 almost pure texture transition from bottom to top day 2 chucking down with rain "chain" 15:37 stunning detail contrasting against the water movement, my favourite 17:50 classic waterfall framed by autumn colour mood by mist! great Video Thomas
I live in the Highlands and have scenery like this literally on my doorstep but it's amazing how often, like you here Thomas, I used to walk miles looking for inspiration and feel frustrated but in reality I have learned to 1) Enjoy the walk, the scenery and fresh air and 2) The scenes really do come to you sometimes, not always where you'd planned. I shoot medium format and accordingly have a more limited selection of focal lengths on any given trek (usually 2 lenses that cover 35mm equivalent of 15mm to 80mm) so I let the scene happen and just try to be there at the right time. This video resonated with me on many levels - especially sodden wet equipment. And I approve of the BFG All Terrains - I have those too. Essential Highland stuff!
Around the 15 minute mark you looked like you where at the Birks o Feldy, I was there that day, but early on my way back from shopping, but it rains here a lot, get to Kenmore next time on a winters day for a sunset over Loch Tay
You are kidding - may I ask when you recorder this Episode? I've been in Scotland for vacation (i'm from Germany) recently and also been to Cairngorms NP and absolutely loved it! Before the trip I thought if there might be ANY chance at all to probably run in to you somewhere in Scotland and was like "nah, no way" - just to now learn you might have been only few kilometres away 😅

Yea 7 years. I was 28 when I first started watching. 35 now and I've learnt a lot from the big man
@@Brock_in_the_NorthWell if you think you can or you think you can't... You're right! Always a lot to learn from if have an open mind. You find what you seek... Reap what you sow.
Yeah, me too....but I'm 72 now and hikes to interesting locations take a little longer!
Same thing here👋 around 7 years enjoying this Chanel and getting inspired by you.
@@Pamela-c5o - He does when they are interesting enough. I don't think talking about yourself qualifies.
love your picture with the mist!!! love it!!!
"Mizzle" is a fine Cornish word! Great video, Thomas!
Mizzle is definitely a word! 3:48
Thomas...the last couple videos you've pulled out the Black Mist filter and I'm waiting for your verdict. Thanks for another splendid video!
Alternate script: "...but truth be know I couldn't really get going this morning......so, where's that beer box? LOL!! I'm guessing this was shot a bit ago since those colors were still present.

can't believe i used to live there and walk through glenmore forest every day/evening/night. * whatmadoin heeeere!!! *
James Popsys probably would have loved that duck pond.

I’m also 81.
82 1/2 here!
It’s really great story Tom!
Love the non-verbal explanation of your composition! Maybe you could branch out into being an interpretive dance channel?
ICM would have been good with that lone tree in the middle of the pine trees.
Well I think Mr heatons “ ok” first image is beautiful. I’m sure you will come back to it and realise “ wow” because I personally think it is wow.
15:29 this might have been an image that I had on my desktop screen for over two years! Love it!
Yes “mizzle” is a word and used here in Cornwall, brilliant video as always.
Is it just me or is the video quality even higher than the normally great quality?
Nice one for the beer Tom! Merry Christmas!
Shall go nicely when I watch your future vids…
Great images in this one too liked them all 👍🏻
the autumn and Thomas never disapoints , supporting you from Nepal 🇳🇵...
For that river image I thought you were going to break out in interpretive dance. Thanks for the video.
The video frame at 3:00 would actually be a great photo itself!
I also thought so😢at the time
As this video starts, the frustration!
When it happens I have learned to stop walking.
Mindset time, this is not greatness of greatness days.
Acceptance and joy of just being out releases the pressure, sometimes its an instant reward.
Haha thanks for that at the end, Michelle was watching with me 🤣🤣! - also you've made it in to my Friday video ;)
Great images and always an inspiration for me to get out with the camera...
The leaves dotted around the rocks really add so much there.
I hope the yellow birch makes it to next year's calendar! 😉
Really enjoyed this video couple off really good shots two, still the best
I think “mizzle” is my new word. Perfect. 😁
Walking in the woods, you found some gems again.
Thomas, you are my favorite van life videographer that takes photos. You're awesome.
Absolutely loved the voice over section, that was some hardcore pointing and gesturing ..brilliant 😂 really good video again. Thankyou!
Still like the first image the best. Has a great story in it.
Next time you're up this way and you're driving up the A9 , then you pass right past my favourite location , The Hermitage (just outside Dunkeld). I heartily recommend you pay it a visit.
Your videos provide a lot of comedic relief besides the usual photographic and travel entertainment :) I'm loving it.
Great trip thomas, the photos looked very nice :D
Smashing photos Thomas, what I do think though is that you need to take someone with you on your walks or meet up with someone and have a bit of banter but most importantly a bit of company. This last wee while I seem to come away with the feeling that your a bit depressed and not up for going out taking photographs, please get someone to keep you company now and again and gee you up for the photographs your about to get. 😁👍
Not only a really nice video with great image but also very entertaining, the gestures in the voice over part are hilarious! Thanks!
Great location and some rather pleasing images.
Thomas shot a stream! Lovely outing. What a treat to bring your bed around with you and stay out exploring the season. Loved watching.
informative z8 photography video.
Great video! With arm movements like that if the photography dries up you could always work as airline cabin crew doing the safety announcements 😉
The colors are really great and the photos you know how to extract from the environment are beautiful.
Ok, made me laugh out loud with the gesturing at the river scene, and oh my, what a beautiful shot! Thoroughly enjoy your vids and explanations.
I really liked the first image / scene but I really wasn’t expecting that edit based on how the colours looked in the vlog footage
as soon as I saw the morning fog, I had a hunch you'd find a scene like 10:10. awesome!
On your Nikon Z8 try the Highlight-weighted metering for the Highlights. I is great for land scape photography.
Those images just got better as you continued through the video. On a tanget, in the first few seconds of the vid, I know its it the snorkel on the van, but does anyone else think it looks like a ghostly face peering in at you? Now I have seen it I can't un-see it.
Your "interpretive dance" style presentation by the river had me laughing. So funny.
Great video and free beer on the way

Loved the ‘mime assist’! Lifts the whole production to another level 😉👍
@17:00 SO MUCH ANXIETY watching the tripod with both legs point down hill! hahaha
Enjoyed the video as usual Thomas.
Yep rain that's Scotland for you.
You captured some really nice image's especially the waterfall and river ones.
Look forward to the next one and hope the weather is good to you.
Soaked Tom, just soaked. Beautiful shots... that yellow tree !!!
Mizzle = A misty drizzle 😊😊
Another excellent video..there are many times that we walk and struggle to find an image..loved your gesturing by the river...many thanks and best wishes
Very much enjoyed this video, looks like you was at the 'Birks of Aberfeldy"? Fantastic location, glad you enjoyed it.

Why can I not have more then one like on a video, well done enjoyed this one immensely.
"Mizzle"... stealing that one :)
With all this talk about how long been subscribed, I looked at mine and realised that November makes it exactly 9 years. I am just a simple picture taker but I really enjoy watching your passionate journey. Carry on making the good stuff.
For the first time for quite some time I found your video interesting :) again :)
Mizzle is a word used here in Devon and Cornwall, It means a misty or foggy drizzle.
I would've taken shots in any of your B roll locations - ha.
Even with the van, I would probably be tempted to find a warm and dry hotel room. A nice pub with a fireplace would be a bonus, eh? Carry on. 👍🥂
Great images Thomas. I loved how you carried the grille of an old jaguar in the bottom of the shot with the rapids. It just looks like you put the whole car underneath there 😂 grt guido

The one @10:09 is sublime.
Nothing worse than fine mizzle!! Stunning images, loved the lone yellow tree capture 👌

Absolutely enjoyed this video 😊 the soft yellow with the water in autumn just amazing. ❤
Thomas Heaton - taking photos, making videos and expanding the English language. Quite the CV 😂😂👍
0:27 who’s in the trunk, Tom? WHOS IN THE TRUNK!!??
There's nothing else like a little wet adventure. Thanks for taking us along with you Thomas. I didn't mind the rain at all. Thanks for sharing your process.
Your back to your best with this one. Some perfect shots

We use the word mizzle in Cornwall to describe the sea mist that often perpetuates swathes of the coastline
@@Karkawry1970 And it has been around for a very long time indeed.
Fantastic video Thomas and such wonderful photographs that were captured from your adventure. Your story telling and video work is top notch!
Another wonderful video. Maybe you could explain how you fight against mist or water on your lenses. That would be useful. cheers
well it appear you've already done that in another video one month go ;-)

Hi mate, having watched your wide angle shootout I ended up buying a second hand AFS 16-35mm and happy so far. Thank you and keep it up!
Good to see you on the bench for Man Utd. tonight!!
Really loved these photos! All of them, but especially the last 2! 👍
wow, that last trail was fantastic
Around the 15 minute mark you looked like you where at the Birks o Feldy, I was there that day, but early on my way back from shopping, but it rains here a lot, get to Kenmore next time on a winters day for a sunset over Loch Tay

Sometimes you just have to pretend you're having fun until you're actually having fun
That 1st image was spot on !! Carrying umbrella and vlogging gear........Easy lol
