A Photographer's View | Landmannalaugar in Iceland - What you Need to know

[@steveh1273]

YES, that's the kind of video we need for a diverse channel; makes it more complete and informative.

[@peterg3021]

This is a great idea, a welcome addition to your Vlogging. I especially like your preference of taking a caravan so as to advoid the hard/mushy grounds, main day light, day trippers and the breeze from the dunny...

[@kevindickinson3600]

Hours of golden light....sign me up! Looks and sounds amazing!

[@santiagogiralt6666]

I would like to vote this kind of videos a thousand times. I really, really, really like it. That's passion ... Thanks a lot for it!!

[@slugger88]

Once again, this video is a hit. What you do, probably better than any other KZbin photographer, is make us want to go out and take pictures. Thanks very much for that, Thomas.

[@32rabara96]

You are my hero Tom! You are the reason why I love landscape photography. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

[@kevins8575]

Great idea. It's very helpful for people to get this kind of information to help plan photo trips. Glad that you included some of your images for inspiration.

[@malcalamark5]

I really appreciate the recommendation. All of your details will be very helpful to many. This takes the guesswork out of it. Thanks again Thomas

[@scotty4418]

I think it is a good addition to your channel as it allows for the logistical approach of your trips to compliment the artistic aspect of your content. I know Mads Peter Iverson has commented on your channel before and its one aspect that compliments his channel extremely well when he discusses the trip and not just the photography. Your images in this vlog were great to see again and your discussion also is a good reminder that it often involves hard work to get to the point of sharing these images

[@MadsPeterIversen]

scotty4418 this is so good! Now I can focus on the vlogging and photography part when I finally get to Landmannalaugar and just link to this video for any practical questions 😁

[@ChimneySwift11]

Love the idea of this series Thomas! Keep up the great work dude, I'm a big fan

[@bonsaibob8253]

You have hit the nail on the head. Awesome addition to the channel. Everyone who watches will want more of these videos. Information like this is priceless in my book. Thank you so much. Bob Gancio

[@peterbiggin7193]

I don't often comment but I think this is an awesome idea for a series. You covered most of the important stuff, gear to take, campsite, accessibility to locations etc. I look forward to more of the same. Thanks Tom

[@vanlam1601]

I think you should definitely continue this series. Just watching this video help me out so much. Iceland is definitely on top of my list and thank you for always being so inspirational.

[@petergotz5589]

YES! Please make this a series on your channel. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@LarryHyett]

Wonderful addition to your channel. I'd love to see more of these!

[@AdeelJawed]

Thanks Thomas, I enjoyed this quite a bit! It is great to have a photographer's view on these scenic location and it will be a great help in planning photographic trips for a lot of your audience.

[@markzaglas6013]

Yep. Love this addition to the repertoire. Great to here you’re tips and traps for these amazing places. Keep them coming!

[@josephfotero]

Thanks, Thomas, for sharing this video of one of the places you like to visit for photos and scenery. Thanks for adding tips about gear, food, when to go and what time of day to shoot. Looks like an awesome place that makes me want to visit Iceland for a couple of weeks.

[@frauleindaniela]

Oh and thank you for your honesty about the campsite. This avoids unnecessary disappointment

[@JimPeters]

A superb video of a great location yes some more of these videos. Stunning images.

[@alecmurray4921]

Hi Thomas. I’ve been following you for a month or so and am constantly educated and entertained by your videos. This one is no exception. I was in Iceland 3 years ago but other than a couple of tours stayed in Reykjavik. You’ve made me want to return and get out onto the land. Just getting back into photography after many years away and you’ve helped me with the steep learning curve to get into the digital age. Look forward to whatever you have planned next, but I encourage you to do more of these.

[@DandradaLtd]

I think this video series would be a hit! Please continue along with your other adventures! Looking forward to more!

[@jweral]

The specifics around your treks make it more personal, and for those of us that aspire to get to these locations, its exactly what we're looking for. I'll be in Iceland during this years midnight sun (same week as you), and this video may shift our priorities/path. Thank you for all your work, Thomas.

[@tegser]

Yes!! This is the perfect addition to your channel..it’s great to get the pros and cons on a place which people want to visit..I and the rest of your subscribers would be ABSOLUTELY interested to see more of the same..👍🏼👌🏼

[@ΠετροςΡουσσος-ε5ξ]

Pleaaaaase continue that series! Awesome! Thank you Thomas!

[@mikeshafer2646]

Love this style of video! We can talk about gear and composition and editing all day, but getting to the right locations is just as important - and often more ambiguous. Looking forward to more locations!

[@raskolnikov7359]

The honest opinion is most beneficial to help others. So thank you for your honesty on the pros and cons, plus the location tips.

[@rogersmith4308]

This is a great addition to your channel. Fills in a bunch of questions that you might not have time to address in a vlog about the photography. Well done.

[@DonKittle]

I really liked this video. The combination of explaining the logistics of getting there/camping along with where to go for photo ops and some suggestions on what & how to shoot made this really comprehensive and useful. Thanks so much!

[@philippnagel1096]

Ok now that is officially the most useful video series that has ever been launched! Great!

[@jtoselli]

Great to have you here in Argentina! Hope you enjoy our hospitality and the amazing landscapes!!

[@gregreis8509]

This is brilliant!! Please do more. You've made my favorite channel on KZbin even better with this addition.

[@justinvrba1439]

Very great video Thomas. I did enjoy this type of video. I've been a fan of your work for a few years now. It might be a great addition to your regular videos. It reaches out to so many people, from the person looking to find new places they've never been to or to someone that will never be able to go to these beautiful locations. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

[@markdayphotography7948]

What a fantastic idea for a series. Great frank review of Landmann with excellent tips. Looking forward to the next location....

[@mpmphoto]

I love this video idea. Having helpful tips before you decide to go (or to help you decide whether or not to go) is very useful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@aquietwild]

I've watched this quite a few times now in preparation for my second visit to Iceland. I don't know how this doesn't have more views! It is ridiculously helpful.

[@SeanLuc_Photo]

Great job with the review and the footage given to show the area's you spoke about. Any novice/amateur photographer, such as myself, that is interested in shooting these locations will definitely find this information fantastic.

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Travel tips from the person(s) who've actually been to a location are always helpful, because sometimes travel opportunities arise unexpectedly. It's great to know the ins and outs before going.

[@haraldmuller6535]

a very lively, enjoyable, enthusiasmating Thomas` view on Iceland

[@jmthier]

This was super cool! Not only just for checking this particular location out, but to help us think about other similar plans we might have! Can’t wait to see more of them!

[@antonoat]

What an epic location.Extremely generous of you Thomas to share all this info, thanks very much for that and thanks for a fab video.cheers.

[@duncanwallace7760]

Definitely do more of these, they're very handy for trip planning.

[@robertdumke]

Thomas I usually dont comment on your videos however I do watch them all. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Love your honesty of the layout and what to expect when traveling to these locations you have been to. It gives a good idea on what to expect for those they may travel there as well as give insight on what your experience was like in general. So keep up the good work I think everyone benefits from these videos. Also on a personal note. I would like to say we all appreciate the positivity from your videos even tho you maybe going through difficult times. Always time time for yourself and keep up the positivity, its infectious.

[@RonDonson]

Definitely a great idea! This video was like a detailed tourist bureau brochure for photographers. Well done, Thomas!

[@duckd50]

Great concept. hope to see some more of these travelogues. It is great to see what the environment is, characteristics of the location, and tips to anticipate. Well done. And it is really nice to see what you are telling us about, when you say "gorgeous". Thanks.

[@Archibald_Quincy_Stanton]

Love it. Journeys are always filled with ups and downs. It's nice to know what to expect when you get there. This was really fun to watch 👍

[@sarahpantanella5013]

I would love to see more of these videos! Really great idea. Thanks for another great video Thomas!

[@clivemiller9912]

Thomas, ace, loveit, please do more, your channel is leading the way us photographers communicate our craft, for that I thank you....

[@davidsargentphotography]

I definitely think this is a helpful video type to add to your channel. Your typical videos are inspirational and educational, but usually focusing more on the actual photography, which is great, but in the vein of educating your fellow shooters, offering this type of super informational location content is a great benefit to all of the photography community. Thanks for giving this a go!

[@kevinpeterson5420]

Thomas you inspire me every time I watch your videos and this one is no exception!

[@MegaDwilkinson]

yes, more of these please Thomas - excellent stuff

[@johncreen5957]

Great video very informative. And very inspirational, you have an amazing way of making photography look so easy, maybe I over think things , but, really enjoyed your video and this style also, thank you for taking the time Thomas,

[@lisabradley9288]

Enjoyed this video so much Thomas, brought back so many happy memories from my time in Iceland. Thank you again Mr Heaton and keep up the great photography content.

[@marccluet3873]

Great new section! Really love when photographers share details about their locations, specially in Mads Peter Iversen smooth style :)

[@dotbot5789]

Im an 18 year old passionate photogapher who's just gotten into college.Been watching your videos for almost a year now.I dream of getting to this place,to Iceland. Great video! Its a great addition to your channel.Will be waiting for more like these.

[@andyb3029]

Really enjoy this video. I appreciate the honest approach to the description of the accommodations.

[@astorm59]

Thank you Thomas. Great idea. Looking forward for next location

[@glennbooth7478]

Valuable stuff there Mr. Heaton - more please! The practicalities of planning photo-trips are really interesting - especially for those of up whose opportunities are limited and it's important to get things 'mostly right'. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@thedivide3688]

Love this! You are making my bucket list grow...thanks for all you do and your sharing of your gift with the world!

[@antoniotomas425]

More like this one please!!! Super interesting and with loads of good tips! Love what you are doing with this channel! Keep it up!

[@SethPay]

Great episode Thomas! I went to Iceland a couple summers ago and it will forever be one of my favorite places. We didn’t make it to the highlands, but your experience and suggestions have definitely encouraged me when I do go back in the next few years, that will be the highest priority! Look forward to tuning in to more episodes so keep up the series, mate!

[@RonanHardingDownes]

Very easy to follow, fun to watch, loads of little tips you'd have to trawl through review sites for hours to find! All round lovely new series!

[@eddie8t]

love to see more of these kinds of videos Thomas! Would love to hear more about your trip to Nambia? Thank you again for sharing such a beautiful moment!

[@richardguy1]

Interesting behind the scenes look - certainly worth doing, I found it very interesting. Look forward to others.

[@martincutrone5816]

Great idea for the new series. Do more! The images of your trips allow us hobbyists to dream, and maybe, if one is lucky enough, plan an epic trip for the future. Thanks for sharing your insights! Never a fan of smelly toilets, but for that scenery I'd put up with them!

[@R17D5D]

I really like this idea. You have been to some simply incredible locations, and with your insight into landscape photography, and your gifted eye for a beautiful composition, videos like these are gold for photographers of all ranges - whether they be just starting out and dreaming of where to go, or experienced travel photographers that are looking for other/new ideas. Please do more of these. As a personal note, you posted more of your own photos in this video than you normally do, and that’s fantastic. This is another opportunity to let your following see more of your work, especially in one place as opposed to many videos to get the whole experience.

[@roblodge6228]

Great idea Thomas, would love to see more. Nothing more daunting as a landscape photographer than going to a place for the first time and only having a limited amount of time to 'get stuck in'

[@roobarb7989]

A great addition to your usual, amazing videos. Keep doing more! I finally got to Landmann 2 years ago, after trying 3 previous times,only to find the roads closed due to late Spring thawing. It's an amazing, safe location. Absolutely stunning for photography ;)

[@borisiglar_landscapes]

Very useful video and hopefully one of many that type videos. It definitely come in handy to know not only how you taking photographs, but also the preparation, recommendations, reviews of locations and trips.

[@namboozleUK]

Very useful. Please do more. Always great to discover new locations.

[@dawngore2059]

Thanks Tom. Amazing review. I’ve never been to Iceland but your videos have encouraged me to add it to my wish list. I’ve been ‘binge watching’ your videos over the last few days and love every one of them 👍🏻

[@MaxiMaxLondon]

A THapp With the best spots would be amazing! Thanks Tom for inspiring us with your great shoots!

[@KarlMarshall69]

I think you are on another winner here. Awesome, inspiring, and a darn good watch . Thumbs up from Johannesburg!

[@jasonmann3316]

I love this format. It offers us more ideas and inspiration, as well as an opportunity to see more behind the camera views and your photography. It’s a refreshing change of pace. Keep’em coming.

[@jarod17]

Great content, and it's nice to mix it up. It can seem pretty daunting to some of us viewers looking at some of these incredible locations that seem so inaccessible. So it's nice to get a real perspective on an area to show that it truly is accessible for most people!

[@stefankuhn6887]

Fantastic video - please continue with this series! I was there four years ago and would underline every word you‘ve said! I hope to be there again in the next years because it’s sooooooooo beautiful!

[@kelv52]

Love the BBC approach, how to do repeats in an interesting way....gives a better insight into your trips, and as always well made.

[@neilkloppers9006]

Really love the shot at 11:56, it reminds me of Ansel Adams' famous Moonrise, Hernandez.

[@ginagallagher72]

I love love love this format!! The information provided was perfect! Thank you so much! I look forward to more!!

[@tonyturner7676]

Great addition to your channel, Thomas. Some quite outstanding images.

[@silvereagle1717]

I love this. I am a big fan! I am not able to do photography requiring much hiking or physical stamina, so living as a travel photographer watcher leaves me somewhat fulfilled, despite my health restrictions. Thank you for making all your videos entertaining through your passion and for making me feel like you took me along for the ride on all of your videos! Your work is stunning!

[@dah7772]

I like the change of pace of the video. Good information to have for future locations to scout

[@aaronbrown_shoots]

Excellent video Thomas. It really painted the picture of the location and you offered some super useful tips for staying here. I know i'll definitely come back to this video when I go to Iceland one day! PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!

[@soumyadeepmaity7708]

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience in such a wonderful way. It's one of those places where I dream of going someday, thanks again

[@federicoortiz8385]

Great to hear you 'll visit my country... Argentina has so many incredible places... Patagonia looks like a fairy tell scenography... can't wait see what can you show us from this magic place...

[@derekwillson2538]

Fantastic video Thomas, an excellent guide covering all the important points of a top notch location. This has the potential to become a great series, looking forward to a guide to the Northumberland coast please! see you soon Derek.

[@davidprendergast5389]

Thanks Thomas! This is a brilliant new avenue for your channel. It’s going to be inspirational and useful to many!

[@baileyhicks2699]

I love it. Iceland is one of my bucket list spots. this video made me want to go there even more. I seriously can’t wait to see what the other video Brings!!!

[@damien_writer]

Really enjoyed the video. Definitely worthwhile and helpful. Great to hear a very honest take on the location. Would enjoy seeing more of this content.

[@betterthanisound]

Great story telling, awesome content, breathtaking scenery, sublime music, very engaging, interesting location names..! Three cheers for Thomas, hip, hip......

[@asimeshpal]

Wonderful description of Landmannalagaur ,, nice video ,, thanks for sharing your valuable inputs ,,looking forward for more such content ...

[@rafaelktist]

Nice job as always. Continue by adding more locations since it is a great motivation for everyone to visit new places. It’s very useful for us to have an experienced review of a location by you!!! I look forward to watching reviews for UK locations. Keep up the good work.

[@kaifilbrandt8110]

Hi Thomas, I think it’s a great addition to your channel and I’d enjoy watching more episodes. Thanks and bye for now 😉

[@SpandanaReddyv]

Great video with a lot of information about the location. Your photos from Landmann are amazing.

[@matthewkrah1567]

I did and will enjoy more of this type of content! How you suggested what time of year to go is a huge benefit to going to a location and i appreciate that information. cheers!

[@meredithpottery]

Wonderful, "stunnin"! Thank you! I can't wait to get there .....

[@QUEzMaDDz]

I really enjoyed the "pilot episode" of this new series: I think it's a good opportunity to see and re-examine the locations you usually show with videoclips and pictures, this time giving your actual impressions on them and the places nearby. It would be a perfect complement to the """raw photography""" videos you usually make. Go on, you're always a big inspiration! :)

[@ceilihmcgrady4125]

I'll probably never go to Iceland but I really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more of them. 😀

[@MrThunderMonky]

def keep doing these. This helps get an idea of what to expect and where to expect it. Also Seasonal advice goes a long way in helping too. I live in Arizona and you cant just go anywhere any old time you want. You gotta know the best times or what to expect in each season. So any and all information you have on that is VERY appreciated.

[@joostvanlaarhoven8055]

A nice addition for your channel. Looking forward to the next Location!
