- This is the final leg of my landscape photography road-trip in my self converted 4x4 camper van. Today I drive to the very familiar Lake District national park, but nothing about my sunrise photo shoot is familiar. I enjoy a sunset hike up Dale Head, but the light does not cooperate. After parking up for the night I hike up toards Walla Crag for a sunrise photography shoot and experience some very abstract, strange conditions which only lasts for a few seconds. I hope you enjoy this video.

The upside down photo is absolutely fantastic
Thanks a lot, glad you like it 👍
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Speaking of stove, you don't have a shop called Biltema in the UK as far as I know, but they have a gas stove that I've used a lot, and it's cheap and good.
I can't leave a link here I guess, but if you go to biltema dot no and search for 37-996 you'll find it. I've seen it in other shops at other names, so you might have it over there.
yeah it reminds me of silent hill
The reflected image is a nice picture but you wouldn't guess the story of it without seeing the video.
magnficant
The last image is indeed a dream image.
An image that will confuse how it possible unless they seen the video how it was captured. This is what photography is about... right place right time
The image is dreamy af and flippin awesome
"flippin", I like it 😎
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto hell yah!!!
I really like Thomas because no matter how many subscribers or success he gets his videos haven't lost their charm and personal feel, I think that's rare.
He's the English Peter McKinnon in that respect. Feels like I'm watching a mate chat to me.
@@MarksMotography Tom is better than Mckinnon in the sense he's a different kind of photographer. Both are different guys with unique styles, one's a vlogger and one is a decent landscape photographer, guess which one is which?..
@@Fell_Wanderer By that logic I can claim anyone is better by them being different.
I'm not comparing or ranking them, it's apples and oranges.
I just mentioned something they have in common that I like about both of them.
@@Fell_Wanderer Peter mccanon doesn’t even use a tripod for his “prints” 🤣
18 months ago we toured Scotland in a motorhome. We wild camped as much as we could, I took on fresh water in small petrol stations after filling up with fuel, we dropped the grey water down drains and the chemical toilet emptied in campsites when we stayed. We’re off again in August, nothing better than staying overnight for an early morning photography outing, what a life 👍
Mmmmmm. I had that strange ethereal numb-struck feeling only the awesomeness of a lovingly captured landscape can inspire. Mmmmmm. Thank you Thomas.
You should get the last image airbrushed on the side of your van for that classic 70s look
Nice, I second that motion!
Get I wrapped.
I'm overweight and a photography enthusiast but watching this and the last few clips is pushing me to try get more in shape and I'm now planning next month travel up to Dale head as its been a dream to be somewhere like this! Keep up the amazing videos and for me the uncropped photo was amazing showing all of the scene and the story.
Are you still overweight?
@@ludisart I'm not nearly in shape but have now lost just coming up to 40lbs! Last year did all 3 peaks with a month gap inbetween too
@@all-ainzy7188 Amazing. Well done
@@gillwood thank you!
The flipped reflection shot is an absolute gem.
That last image is why I have watched 100s of your videos dear Thomas. ❤️
I think the 2nd last image is the better shot, it still captures that dreamy etherealness of the reflection forest but also captures the context beautifully surrounding it. Something about the mist covering the actual forest but seeing the forest so clearly in the water's reflection is just so magical.
Agreed; I think the second image without context looks more like an image taken slightly out of focus. With context it works, but the first image tells the story better imo.
Yup.
The reflected tree image is phenomenal. Always, always worth waiting around a little longer, even when you think already got the shot. Loved the whole road trip series!
To me photography is about expressing creativity - those last few images are what it's all about.
A once in a lifetime image! BTW, a convenience that I found when I was camping in my pickup truck was an 18-ft tarp. I could place it over the sleeping cab and stake it out to the sides with nylon lines and tent stakes. At the back I used two extendable tent poles with nylon lines and stakes. When I camped in the rain I would set up the tarp. That allowed me to cook on the tailgate and sit out there in a folding chair under shelter if I wanted to. At night I could leave the side windows and the hatch window open for ventilation when the mosquitoes weren't too bad. I found the tarp to be a worthy addition to my kit.
Thomas : "Ive been too lazy to do drone footage today"
*Next segment immediately has drone footage
Ikr haha
I can't get over how bare the mountains are there. Where I live in northeastern New York, mountains are all covered in trees from top to bottom. Not even a shrub there
19:50 innovative dreamy image....loved it 🙏
Love the last upside down shot .....that's thinking outside the box 📦 😅
Its ART that's what that is Thomas well done
20 mins of pure relaxation, love love love the lakes, as for the last shot.... I like it, I like it more the longer I look at it, beautiful light, kind of a candy floss texture to it, love the fact it isn’t one of these super sharp poke yer eyes out pics, takes me to a different place is how I would put it.
Perfect. Just like the old days of Tom. Don’t need sliders and multiple angles of the van driving this was fantastic. Change nothing sir Tom you can’t improve on perfect.
The reflection photo looks like Bob Ross painting. Just lovely!
You can never get enough of dreamy mist strewn images Thomas! They speak deeply to the soul I think. Love your work by the way - I’m primarily a conceptual portrait photographer but getting back into a bit of landscape minus the model and on your advice have discovered so much more to this genre.
I grew up in the Manchester area and family holidays were spent youth hostelling in the Lake District and Northumberland. Fifty-some years ago I was uprooted as my family moved to Canada. I’ve been here so long that I identify as Canadian and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Until I see videos like this, and I feel a knot of homesickness in my stomach. The lakes and fells are magical, and you make magic in the way you capture them. Thanks, as always. Oh, and the last image is a dream. Perhaps I’ll realize a similar dream once more should over make it back again. Meanwhile, I’ll keep watching and enjoying your experiences from afar.
Mate you should be an author
Hi originally from Bolton and now live in Ottawa Canada, you totally captured how I feel.
@@andrewnoden9117 went to Bolton School for 2 yrs before emigrating. Now living in Markham.
@@wilfbm9067 that’s what my wife says. She’s not keen on my efforts at photography…😅
@@alecmurray4921 hi Alec, Smithills Moor Grammar school, worked in UAE before coming to Canada🙂
Absolutely WOW on that view.
Man, that van is the best thing you could have ever done. Really great to travel and get to where landscapes are.
Good Fuel mileage and a place to sleep. Makes it a possibility to travel 1000 miles in a day. 15hr drive, 50 gallons of fuel, at $3 a gallon for $300 round trip for a weekend camp, hike, and photo tour.
For me, 200 more miles and I make Moab for a weekend or Key West. 20 more gallons round trip. $60 more.
The last one is a Super Super Nice Photo !!!!
You have captured the essence of the subtle beauty of that sunrise. So so beauty
Good to see you found your spark for photography again. Perseverance is difficult but key. I’d name the image mirror world.
I love how you said "we" were on that peak :)
The last image is dreamy, but flipping awesome, love it
Wow! This is an great example of the virtue that is patience.
Love, love, love, that inverted image. Brilliant. Soothing. Uplifting. Simple. It stands on its own as to what my heart needs right now in this lingering madness. A present moment of peace and serenity. Thank you 🙏
Yes that misty tree shot was the one, not dreamy just minimalist, almost painterly effect. Top stuff.
Brilliant. Loved them all. Preparation + Perseverance + Opportunity = Success. Bravo! Whether it is a random dog attack, or an unexpected photo. You never cease to inspire and surprise!
The ethereal shot is absolutely beautiful. What a great idea to take a reflection and turn it upside down. Thank you for a great idea.
The image is amazing. Patience has certainly paid off.
Never fails to bring my mood up, thank you Tom! little inspiration for my trip to the lakes next week!
The end of your video gives the same feeling as a Sunday afternoon.
The dream image is lovely. The evocative element and the open to story is what makes it the best of the day.
Oof! Those conditions you had for sunrise.....
The arch enemy of every landscape photographer: a comfortable bed. 😆
and a freezing cold morning
@@BigBadLoneWolf yes, that's also true. however, you have to get up first. 😄
I know right!? 😆
I like the upside down, it's like this portal opening in to a hidden mystical world! 🙂
Your dream shot. It reminds me they say, 'Truth is stranger than fiction'.
That last reflection shot was crisp as heck, what a fantastic moment!
It is great when you find an easter egg hidden inside of an image.
Love the dreamy image. The upside down is spectacular. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful.
Growing up in the West coast of Scotland there was many a reflection of the mist and rising sun. Seeing shots like that you've taken reminds me of the peace and quiet.
10min UA-cam content others make: fast food
20min UA-cam content Thomas makes: wholesome heartwarming dinner🙌🏻
About the final image: Exactly your style. Dreamy. Abstract.
Too dreamy? No way, it just fits your minimalist square theme. Love it.
That reflection shot is top drawer and when you think about it, unique.
That ethereal image at the end - stunning. It is why we all go out to capture those unique moments.
Tinkering with your van is a prerequisite for all van owners. It's what feeds our love of them.
Enjoyed this one, thank you.
Forgot to add, I agree get shot of that cooker, find something different.
Sadly Tom, as you get older, you start to realize that there's not "always tomorrow"! Making the most of each day becomes more and more important.
The hair Thomas. The hair. You are getting to the age that this type of "an unkept teenage hairstyle" is not becoming...
Comb in kit!
The photo within the photo, the upside down trees, was indeed the "money shot" ... you're right about patience as the light changes - hard to do sometime but usually worth it ... excellent series of videos
Like many other viewers, I am taken by the upside down image. I love the soft edges and gradual changes in color and form.
4:12 = WOW , even with the cloud cover ...
I absolutely love the image of the reflected trees. I would frame it and put it on the wall in my livingroom.
3:35 "I am too tired for drone videos". 3:56 Amazing drone video.
A vote for dream image. Lovely shot and the painter like pastel look. 🤌🏼
Thomas , once again you delivered a beautiful photo. Fantastic. Thank you once again.
"Does that bottle of water come with gold dust" priceless lol
I really like the last shot. Has a very ethereal quality. Probably the best shot of the road trip.
As I enjoy your channel (found initially while researching van conversion videos), I am amazed and impressed by how much back and forth you have to walk. Setting the camera, and then retreating so you can film yourself walking by, and then coming back to get your camera. Repeat. It must take you forever to get to your destinations. I also appreciate the effort you take in matching the sound of your foot steps from shot to shot. Very impressive. Thank you for your professionalism. I am not a photographer, nor do I ever expect to be--but this does not stop me from learning from your material.
I love the reflective photo! It resembles a painting more than a photograph which is my favorite type of photography. Love it!
Final image is the best shot from the whole road trip
I would have turned away from the hoped subject and caught that fiery sunset off the ocean...thanks for sharing, Thomas!
A nice bonus in this posting was the dash cam video of the drive north. I would love to see more of those English lanes they call country roads.
THE LIFE & LIFESTYLE! The Lake District and the Scottish Highland are home to me, even though I don’t live there! 😩🙃🤙😎👊
I agree. Without the full image and the story the final image lacks something.
I could watch you and Nick Carver all day. That last image was absolutely beautiful. 👍🏻
Absolutely the dream image. I would be over the moon if I took that image!
Amazing image - proves that determination and grit pays off no matter how tired your feeling - passion for photography
It matters not what others think, it’s all about how the image(s) make you feel, personally I think they are fantastic. Great film and brilliant channel. Thank you
Currently addicted... watching the whole back catalogue 😝
I don’t know about that shot, I don’t know much about photography… but I do know it’s a true pleasure to watch someone who genuinely enjoys, and is passionate about their craft… really enjoyable video.
It is a perfect dream of an ethereal happy yet moody morning 👏👏👏
🇨🇦... Hey there Thomas! I commented on Henry Turner's video of this same week that when I taught photography I nudged the idea, to my students, that any view or exposure that was not the "NORM" of human vision was an excellent place to start in creating INTRIGUE. That upside down reflection was GORGEOUS and I suspect that anyone looking at it in a book (I have your first book) or on a gallery wall would just stop and stare for awhile, the brain jarred and unsure of what they were looking at. Very envious of your trip, your van and your camera!! Cheers!
That last reflected image a big keeper! A wall hanger! It should be in your next book...I own the recent one! I love images like that one...it carries the imagination. Well done.
The reflected one is really awesome. Definitely that one is a dreamy one. I just loved that.
The photo is like something that u will found in a fantasy story book, fantastic image!! Love it
LAST IMAGE... JUST STUNNING
As requested, "liked and subscribed". Small price to pay to "help you out". I have been enjoying your journey with the van, including your trials and tribulations with the build. Brilliant shots today especially the "Dreamy" one. Thank you Thomas, looking forward to the next adventure.
Sometimes watching your videos, I'll see one of the B-roll shots and think "omg there's a shot right there!" This time, at 17:06 in the video, I immediately sat up and thought that same thought, praying you got that shot, and thankful to learn a few minutes later that you saw that exact same phenomenal composition. Absolutely gorgeous, what a cool experience to witness & photograph I'm sure.
You were right about this composition! 19:16
Fantastic result
You are right. The last one with clouds is one of the best images. Good luck.
Nothing like a classic Thomas Heaton Lake District adventure! Thanks for taking us along. So happy to see you shoot Fuji medium format!
Can an image ever be too dreamy? I thought the scale of dreamy was an open scale. I like the way you help us sharpen our eyes and I thank you for that.
Silhouette tree picture was phenomenal.
Brilliant photo flip, and a great series.... more needed now. You’ve sent the benchmark
Just right. I like images that cause the viewer to 🤔🤔🤔 wonder. Well done and thanks again.
Not only is it an amazing image, by all measures ... it is by far the best image I’ve seen of yours ever! Not that your other work isn’t amazing; but this one just trumps the whole lot.
That last image is absolutely stunning. I'd love that as a print. It's so different like you said. Lovely video series!
You inspire me, Thomas. I went tonight, knowing that I would probably find very little, but I went. And that's thanks to you. Hello from Colorado.
I love the image of the inverted reflection. Possibly the best shot of the video!
The last shot was indeed a dream shot! I knew it was coming before you even mentioned it!
The superb upside-down image goes well with eating a chocolate digestive upside-down 🙂
The image is really nice, but it's the story behind it that makes it stand out.
The earth is FLAT Thomas!!! You will soon learn this. Only if you allow yourself to truth facts, and scientific method.. Nice capture!
That image at 19:00 is epic, The following shot was amazing as well, but i really like the whole illusion of the first image. Such an awesome composition!
