Just a quick note: This video was intended more as a travel "Vlog". Next week I will be releasing a much longer and more in-depth video, or as I like to call it, a "Short Film" :) I hope you enjoyed this, none the less.
More vlogs! We love this!!
Love this, Thomas! A lot of us wannabe’s live vicariously through you, so I know I’m not the only one who enjoys this type of video on your channel.
Loved it, I like wildlife shown in it's environment which can be missing in closeup photo's. Great video as usual other than the thankfully breif annoying wobbly music at 2:50 which seems to be trending in a LOT of UA-cam channels recently (sorry for that outburst but i seem to be tuned into it now and it bugs me so much lol)
Hope you got a photo of the cliffs across from the landing! Lighting looked amazing
that would explain the goPro wobble
That first Arctic Fox image would be worth entering into the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. A wonderful environmental shot.
Thomas Heaton and Morton Hilmer colab coming up???? YES!!! Also, it would be so awesome for Thomas to do some portraits just to see what he can use to cross over for a day.
This video felt like such a throwback to your street photography in London days! I love these vlog style videos! Yes, we all really enjoy those beautifully shot videos of yours with incredible storytelling but videos like this make us feel like we're there with you
Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed this style of video. They're nice and quick to put together and have a certain charm to them.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Also you really need to think about doing wildlife photography more frequently! Your photos from Namibia were incredible and now this! 🤩
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Why is the background so wobbly in the selfie shots? Is the image stabilization broken?

Oh wow... how exciting to see an Artic Fox! It was like we were there with you and could feel your excitement. Very much enjoyed this video and the shots of that lovely fox in such a vastness of white. Thankyou!
That the reason we love photography is that feeling about first photo you make as happy at every new challenge!! Great photo and video👌👌
Great SHOT! Tom. You never Know . WildLife is all about being in the Right Place at The Right Time! Cheers
I wasn't expecting the first image. Wow. Love it.
Big fan of that final image. Something very calm but chilly about it at the same time.
Wonderful!
Your image of the fox would make Mr. Hilmer proud!
Well done Mr. Heaton!
Love the contrast of the fox amongst the environment, style of these photos has definitely become my fav 👌🏾
Looks like the weather settled down. I've just returned from Iceland on 13/02/233 and the weather while we were there was great, snow, blizzards, minus 8 degrees and winds sometimes over 70mph. Not great for driving but fun all the same.
We didn't get as far North as you only managing Stykkisholmur but still some spectacular scenery.
Enjoy your trip and look forward to your next video!
Thanks Thomas, 12:54, amazing, the almost totally white background and the black (blue) fox looking at you magic Thanks for sharing
A good start to another fine adventure, Thomas. I'll be looking forward to your next post.
Can't wait for the "short film". Iceland is such a great photographic playground, particularly in winter. I've been following your channel for a good many years and noticed you take very few photos (compared to what I take). Maybe it's my sports background where I am often shooting in motor drive since there is no time to "setup" a composition. I think this mindset carries over to my landscape and wildlife work and, for what it's worth, I've found it very beneficial to over sample an image. I can usually get the composition I saw in my minds eye but often get the "serendipitous" shot I wasn't counting on by taking some additional frames. I've found over 50 years of photography that a big part of photography is luck and as Blaise Pascal opined "chance favors the prepared mind".
Exciting times. I can't wait to see what you capture
Just wow! Great video, awesome lens and lovely photo of a lovely arctic fox. Well done 👏
That was some arrival at shore, beautiful place. Love the sky with the fox shot. Thanks, this is a remote adventure for sure.
Wow! You are in the Winter Kingdom. I like Iceland so much. I used to visit Iceland often. But I remember driving a car was dangerous in winter because the sun was ridiculously short and the roads were slippery and windy due to heavy snow. I'm glad the weather in your video doesn't seem like it. Thank you for sharing good pictures and videos.
Iceland is a beautiful place with rich nature.
everything is alive.
I want to go.
I enjoyed it.😁😄😃
Hornstrandir is a sublime location during its brief summer, but even I haven't ventured there in winter and I live in Iceland so hats off to you fella!
What a fantastic image! Twice!!! Thanks for sharing your experience!
so lovely that the entire extensive journeying to there and adventure overall, is for those cute fluffy foxes! first beautiful, peaceful, almost whimsical image is absolutely my favourite of all. adorable fluffy little foxy! enjoyably positioned in frame and just delightful.
Nice Video Thomas. I visited Iceland in 2003 while shooting my Surfing Film "European Surf Journal". Its such an Amazing Country definitely one of my Favorite Countries in the World!
You are such a great photographer! Landscape and it's inhabitant pictured beautifully in the frame.
I liked that much more than a typical closeup of an animal face.
Great work, excited for the next couple of videos and photos.
Nice story! That 600 is indeed a beast but I can attest that, for the money, the Z 400 f/4.5 VR S is a a real beauty. Not the convenience of built-in TCs but it also pairs very nicely with 1.4 and 2.0 x teleconverters.
Looking forward to more of this adventure.
Nice Jacket Tom! And another great video! Thank you for providing us such a consistent journey!
I’m so happy that you’re this excited about this trip! Enjoy my friend.
I am so excited for the next video!! I love Arctic foxes, they look so cute and beautiful!
I spent a week camping in the Western Fjords last September. Such a great area and way off the main tourist trail. Hornvík campsite was already on my list for next winter.
Keeping it raw and real as always with seasickness and rough landings that most folks wouldn't have even tried to shoot! Thank you for taking us another great adventure!
Thank you for your very inspiring video, i am glad i was in the summertime in Iceland 🤣
Love this vlog Tom, fantastic shot of the artic fox at the end! I would love to see you do more wildlife stuff! Thanks for sharing
LOVE the shot in which the fox has spotted you - That "dance" between nature and the one who sees it. I got to enjoy that just last weekend, north of Seattle, when a juvenile Bald Eagle in a tree took off, but then gave a a perfect "fly by". Thank you!
Oh, and what relief when one remembers that they are the photographer and don't have to fix an outboard motor. Yay!
Great video Tom, Looking forward to the rest. It was a pleasure photographing the the Arctic Fox's with you and the other guys. 👍
Well worth it for that shot!
Greatest travel vlog so far. For me. That last part, very unexpected.
The first photo is the kind of photo I enjoy. Fox in it's environment. 👍
Love stuff, worth waiting for. Love the fox's muzzle in the square image. To see the animal in context is far better than the standard type record shots you fit see.
Serendipity! The square format photo of the fox looking towards the camera is yet another I hope you put on next years calendar. 😊
Did north iceland in 2015. Glad to hear its still quiet and remote
Amazing video Thomas! Loving the pure excitement radiating from you. Looking forward to the next video!
such a funny cut when you are saying goodbye and then you see the fox
Foxes are such beautiful animals. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on your first Arctic Fox image!
I spent 2 nights in Ísafjörður last June, it's a beautiful town. I'd like to spend much more time there and in the West Fjords
Tom, I’m sitting in my garage after reading every word and savouring every image in your new book. It is utterly delightful. Beautifully written, totally inspiring, and easily a new favourite. Thank you for you generous work, mate. 🦘🙂
Congrats on the fox photos! Looks like you are going to have quite an adventure.
Awesome images of the Blue Arctic Fox 🐾 Thomas. Thank you for troubling to post this and count us all in the experience. ❤️
Great adventure!!!!, I am waiting for new videos....
Nice one Thomas! What a fabulous opportunity and adventure!
Just wanted to chime in and tell you how much my son and I both like your videos and your work. We are both professional photographers and we find much inspiration in your work. Thank you for all you do! P.S. Your photo book is outstanding!
You know you want to be a wildlife photographer Tom!
You did it! You did it Tom!! Congratulations on becoming a wildlife photographer.
This one put a smile on my face. Missed your video Wednesday. Glad to see your not slacking 😂 I’m getting addicted to watching your adventures and creativity
Amazing location, really looking forward to follow you on this trip.🤩
An Iceland winter looks so spectacularly beautiful. Someday it would be amazing to visit and photograph! Beautiful images!
Yes Island is beautiful, buth Norway is amasing,-stunning, extreme spektakuler and wonderfull!❤❤
Somehow, the first shot (even though without the great sunset light) shows the mood of the icy land in quite a touching way. Decided to pause the video for quite a moment on that shot.
And again, wow, your videos are just always such a joy to watch :) !
Loving how you get your feelings across from the rough trip to the excitement of the first arctic fox shot! It is so genuine, I enjoyed every minute of it. I love also the shot of the arctic foxes at the end. Personally, I also love wildlife photography where you get the sense of the environment and not just a perfect sharp image of the eye of the animal! Great video, looking forward to next week!
Been to Iceland a few times.. Cant say i've ever been that remote! welldone!!
Thanks Thomas for inspiring me to dig out my slr again and take some photos. Love the videos, and the van 👍
So you’re telling me there’s a man called Gibbon who’s also a wildlife photographer? I love everything about that ❤
I remember throwing up on the ferry from the Westfjords to the Snaefellsnes peninsula a few years ago cause the sea was so rough. Good memories
A few years ago around summer solstice I was photographing puffins at the Latrabjarg Cliffs and saw a brown arctic fox playing down the hill. What a great experience. There was no one around and I had the entire area to myself.
Visiting Isafjordur but in August this year and that’s as far north as my daughter and I are venturing. Gorgeous conditions in Winter and beautiful shots of the Arctic Fox Thomas 👌 That is some beast of a lens. Knowing Iceland I bet the jacket wasn’t cheap 🤪 when we go even in Summer we look like “Michelin Men” going through the Airports to keep the baggage weight down 😂 Looking forward to your short film 👍
Lot's of interest here, Thomas. Enjoyed watching it but the scenes moved so fast that it was more difficult to get a good look and absorb it all. Have a great time at that remote location. Look forward to the longer version. Cheers!
Beautiful, cheers Tom! Greets from Switzerland
Thanks for sharing. This great video wakes up many memories. Looking forward to the next video.
this one looks like its gonna be an exciting location... catching your first fox on day one must have really built your excitement for the coming week...cant wait to watch these! Thank you😀
I enjoyed this one. I stayed in the same hut for two weeks in the Spring of 2021. Glad you got some images on your first day, we landed in the rain so it took a few days of blizzard for the foxes to come out. I was filming for Discovery, would love to go back for some stills.
I just can't believe the guy in bright orange wetsuit tried to start the engine of the boat 10 cm behind it, WITH WAVES PUSHING IT TOWARDS HIM. It could have ended so badly for him.
Man, love both shots! It's just perfect how the fox stands out so well among the white snow. Just beautiful! Totally worth it after all the seasickness ;D
Yes! I guessed right when you mentioned remote part of Iceland. This place is on my bucket list! :)
Fantastic Tom ! Looked like a rough voyage for sure, even aqua man would have been rough after it ! The first taste of wildlife shots was great
Wow - that was a bit of a surprise for you. Love the second shot. Beautiful.
Still very enjoyable, looks like a stunning location and can't wait for the short film, thanks for sharing.
Loved the video! Lucky you. I received vol. 2 of your book the other day. Outstanding, lovely photos. Enjoy your adventure!
The vlog format is really neat actually! Better you than me on that boat, man... But the reward of the place is real! Wish you lots of fun on this surreal landscape, can't wait to see what it has to offer. Cheers!
What a great adventure TH! A good start to the week with a shot of the Arctic Fox!! Looking forward to Episode #2 !!
Another adventure, much more to look forward to! I'll be following this keenly. 😇
Hey Thomas, another great video! The piece at the end where you got a picture of a fox was so inspiring and humbling. Keep doing what you do, and I will keep watching ...what you do!
Loved the vlog and can't wait for the "in depth" video.
Haha all the excitement always happens after you've packed up to leave...life of a photographer 😁❤️
What a great adventure...looking forward to more!
what a great twist to end the video... love the first shot
Iceland is my favorite place on Earth. Looking forward to the next video from this location. My dream is to find a Greenland shark in those waters, but I realize that's a very unlikely scenario. Really hoping you got to see the northern lights at this spot. Keep up the good work Thomas!
Awesome adventure! Wish I was there.
Great work and what an adventure! Those two photos, fantastic.
Great test, I am a EV driver and this is my first winter and I am shocked just how much the range gets effect.
A great start to this Nordic adventure! You certainly hurled yourself into wildlife mode at the end.
Excellent video this week Thomas, makes me want to explore Iceland with the 📸
Another great, relaxing and inspirational video...cannot wait to see the next ones! Thanks a million.
Beautiful photos. Specially the one where the fox is looking into the camera.
I can't wait for the next video after watching this vlog style video.
What a great first shot Tom. Stunningly simple and simply stunning,
Nice surprise seeing this released tonight Thomas and was wondering when you were talking about lenses youd had brought whether you would have a Morten Hilmer special with you and great to see you capturing your first image with it. Looking forward to seeing the next part of your trip
Great vlog!! Definitely looking forward to more vids like this! Awesome images of the fox, too!
Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours in a long time. No such thing as too much remote Iceland!
Nice Thomas, and what an awesome location you chose ! Hope you catch the Northern lights as well. It seemed to be visible in the South part of the Netherlands even last night.
Cool, I never imagine you will go on such kind of tour, with you bro for the sea sickness, I feel bad everytime on small boat in rough sea. And so stunning you start your wildlife photography with such gear and at such trip. Greetings from Nemunas delta, Lithuania.
Great film Tom, wildlife in the landscape is where it's at these days ! PS lens hoods can only improve the image quality, lol.
What a thrill to be at such a remote, beautiful and comfortable place. Can’t wait to see more.
