A Sunrise Photography Winter Hike

[@kak2tnt]

I am almost 100% positive I will never get to that particular vantage point in person. Thank you for taking me there. GLORIOUS

[@brianbrooking496]

Why you so positive you will never get there? If you chose to get there, you will get there.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

The enjoyment. The depth to the images, the panoramic images. You really are the Colin Prior of the KZbin generation.

[@3f34f2f4]

This video is taking it back to your roots. Hiking and photography.

[@gjschreiber83]

"Anything worth doing is not easy"...such a great phrase, love it! We should all live by that mindset and work hard to chase our goals in life.

[@The_Gunslinger]

That location is incredible mountains, snow and a camera couldn’t think of anything better.

[@Brandon.Reacts]

Hi Thomas, been subbed for around two years now and always loved your content. So peaceful and tranquil it always destressed me put me in a better mood. However for what must be around six months I haven’t had any notifications from you and assumed you’d been away from KZbin. It was only today when I searched for one of your old vids to watch that I realised infact you hadn’t been away!! I’m equally pissed off at KZbin for not letting me see your videos in my feed, as I am happy that now I have 6 months of videos to binge watch. Thanks again for the videos, you’re one of my fav youtubers, and being somewhat of a photographer myself I can appreciate the effort and dedication that goes into the work you out up for us. Big love from the Uk

"Anything worth doing is not easy." Absolutely gorram right, Tommy Boy. Cheers, from Bowie, Maryland USA

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Fit bugger and awesome photographer to-boot, simply gorgeous...the mountains that is!

[@paulmorris3613]

Don't thank us for watching. Thank you for sharing your joys and craft. Wonderful

[@Chris391971]

Great images Tom, well done. Also, you timed it well to get the best of this winters snow. Just seen on the news that this winter has had the lowest amount of snow for 70 years and that yesterday was the hottest February day in Scotland for 122 years at 18.3 degrees C !!

[@macronencer]

Glen Coe must be one of the loveliest locations on the planet. I'm pretty sure I've seen Murray from Scotland's Mountains channel on that mountain too!

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

Beautiful photos thank you. Love those words “anything worth doing is not easy”

[@richlovin2173]

I am home where we have a foot of new snow and lots more coming down, This makes it easy to understand how cold it is up on that peak. Great images Thomas.

[@russellschundler6559]

I am enjoying your book with the QR codes. I love both the vicarious travel and the photography. Thanks !

[@kerebronemtadrata5459]

So much white. So much pink. So much gorgeousness. :)

[@Azuul86]

I don't think I've ever commented on a KZbin video before, but I just wanted to say this was probably one of your best. Truly beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@janekkurja6485]

What a place, what a wonderful conditions. So nice.

[@wendynewing8834]

That was wonderful! You can never have too many panos. Your photographs and drone footage were gorgeous. Thanks for a great adventure.

[@owenfetherston6906]

So great to finally see how one of my favorite images from your book was made!😌👌

[@TimStrychalski]

Really been enjoying the drone shots the past few videos.

[@johnsmith1474]

They exceed the photography that's for sure. You can get a drone that will carry his camera, he should do that and leave the tripod at home.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks, i'd do more but the cold ruins my thumbs and my gloves have magnates in them so flying time is restricted to only a couple of minutes in those temps :)

[@John1986ATR]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto How do you find the Mavic Air? I recently got the Mavic Pro and really enjoy it but I imagine the Mavic air is a bit more portable.

[@frauleindaniela]

Yeah! Scotland AND Panos! 😃😃😃

[@karyleianawildernesscapes]

3 years ago, in may, I had an accident & fractured my spine & just shy of the 4 month recovery mark in September, I ran (well, jogged/walked) a half-marathon. Hiking -- not my usual "sketchy" trails -- was one of the best "rehabilitation" activities & motivation to not let the injury redefine my life(style). So I know exactly how your friend feels & 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 to him! I love hearing these "come back" stories 🙏🏽🤙🏽

[@hoovboy14]

Hi Thomas, been watching for a long while now. I find myself shopping around at gear quite often. When I'm in that mode, I see one of your videos and it reminds me the gear is not what all this is about. It's okay that I don't have a wide angle lens at the moment. It's okay that I don't own any L glass. You hardly ever even say what lens you're using other than to mention what focal distance and f stop you're shooting at. It reminds me that having the latest gear and getting the highest resolution photos technologically possible isn't necessary and I appreciate that. Your videos are always leaps and bounds more inspiring than any of the gear reviewers'. I'm sure many feel the same way. So thanks for being here! Keep making your awesome videos that are ACTUALLY about photography.

[@davidsargentphotography]

That's what set him apart from essentially everyone else, especially so when he first started out a few years ago on the channel. His humble and modest approach is a stark contrast to so many other people out there, youtubers or otherwise. It's always refreshing to see another TH upload.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's very kind, thank you. I certainly wouldn't discourage having the best gear you can stretch to, but in no way is it the most important thing about photography. What's the use in spending all your money on gear if you then don't venture out in to the wilds to use it :)

[@lucashertweck8731]

Yeah this is the kind of content why I originally subscribed! Love all your videos but this stuff is gold... I mean the drone footage... come on! So gorgeous! Loved all the pictures from this shoot by the way.

[@finnillson4808]

Cheers. This was a nice little coffee break video that leaves me wanting to hike in the highlands. Planning that trip.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Oh wow... how I would have loved to be on Beinn a'Chrulaiste to shoot the Buachaille Etive Mor in those conditions. Absolutely stunning! :) - nice drone sequence also!

[@paulmiller7671]

Stunning morning, conditions and images. Long time since I've been on the 'Beag' and even longer since it's bigger brother. Must get up there again soon.

[@Jindujun]

This place looks so peaceful, unbelievable. Like humans don't even exist. Just pure earth.

[@olaflindner3955]

Fantastic pictures! Especially when you are at home in the gray and rainy February. Thank you for a few minutes grandiose winter feeling!

[@paulhudson5464]

I see THE Ben just about made it into the last shot, gave a bit of balance to the two other prominant peaks. Beautiful light and great drone footage.

[@gervaischouinard9809]

Gorgeous panos of winter at Glencoe, thanks bringing us with you! Very cold at -7°C? Come on Thomas, come here on east coast of North America, province of Quebec, to know what is really cold! 😉

[@Argy_V]

Absolutely breath taking!! Well done is not enough to say👍👍

[@Dave-Evans73]

Lovely Thomas. We have this planned for our visit next week...sadly, without the snow. At least it gives me a an idea of the views, and I'll tick off another 2 munro's while we are at it.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

The terms leeward and windward come to mind looking at the drone vid. That was quite a climb it appears.

[@gstandaert]

Looks like you had a absolutely stunning morning!

[@cristian82]

Cheers, mate! i follow you channel from 3years now, just keeping my love for photography alive and give me just enough inspiration to get myself 1st full frame cam...i'm not a photographer, but wondering around and thinking to find good images it gives me so nice time to spend and relax, at the end is more than photography is time spent loving what i do , and all that inspired by people like you ! THANK YOU MAN!

[@Moooosic]

Love your vlogs they are very chilled and natural . Love Scotland. Kilchurn castle is nice to photograph .

[@esphilee]

Absolutely beautiful place, absolutely awesome! Super plus to the drone shot.

[@jwkooi1979]

Love the video, as always. Nice balance between photography and other stuff. Nice stimulation to go out into nature and photograph or just enjoy the scenery. look forward to the next video.

[@glorymeeo995]

i`m about to crying.this view is such amzaing

[@harmenpiekema]

What a fantastic landscape!! To be at a place like that, with conditions like that is really rewarding. Especially after a though hike! This video makes me want to go to Scotland during wintertime! Thanks a lot for this cool video.

[@jillmayes139]

Wow, beautiful scenery. Particularly love the second pano; the contrast between the warm pinks and golds from the light hitting the peaks and the cool blues lower down is fabulous.

[@johnmcsporran3090]

Hi Tom, that morning I was on top of the mountain across the Glen (Stob Mhic Mhartuin), shooting back towards your position on Stob Dubh (and northwards towards Ben Nevis and the Mamores). It was a great morning to be up top on the hills but hard going in knee deep snow. You got some great images.

[@ukburn4]

Another great video, if not one of the best you've done recently. Though I have say it's getting to be a bit of bitter-sweet experience now. Watching you go to these great places and take fantastic shots, I'm getting really jealous. Certainly at my very amateur level I could not do any where near the justice to these landscapes they deserved, I'd more than happy to go there and breathe in that scenery. Keep up the excellent work. Oh, great choice in background music too.

[@rossparsons5001]

What an amazing place. Perfect pink and orange colours. 👍

[@connor56347]

The drone shots at 8:52 are absolutely magic

[@tbsota]

Spectacular video, that second shot might be my favourite of yours.

[@AlexBerger]

Oh man, so that's the magic trick for a hand held landing? Have definitely shed some blood trying it, but never tilted sideways rapidly enough. Always tried to wrestle it up and down. Gorgeous footage. Making me miss Scotland something fierce and itching to see it in winter. Glad y'all are safe and sound. Was worried after hearing about the troubles on Nevis this week.

[@48N116W]

What a great video!!! I truly enjoy watching you work you craft. No gear talk, minor set-up chat,,, amazing images and scenery! Well done!

[@wendyarthur3941]

Hey Thomas. Incredible views, Wow! Not to mention the brilliant images. I have to admit that although I hate the cold of winter, I feel that winter photography is the most beautiful, simple and serene. Another great video, thanks for sharing :)

[@iggvec5769]

Dear Thomas, your pano fever is so inspiring, Im also fully pano-addicted

[@bigoz1977]

Beautiful shots Tom, summer or winter, Glen Coe always puts on a show 👍

[@mattcom2]

The drone shots- very nice. I know the goal of the craft is to capture a scene or distill a moment into a single frame, but the drone views transport the viewer into the place more effectively when the delivery medium is video. More, please.

[@malajusted1]

I watched Nev's vlog a few weeks ago and was dumbstruck at how beautiful that mountain scene was. Couldn't wait for more of the same - this vlog didn't disappoint. Just wow!

[@BRP42]

What a great vista! Thanks again for sharing your time and videos Thomas! As for the four people who hit the thumbs down button, I really wonder what is so miserable about your lives that you would do that. I hope something good happens for you so you can brighten your outlook on life.

[@andykeeble1]

Superb! What a beautiful morning!

[@magicdoors]

Great pictures and beautiful drone footage!

[@glitchlife4639]

Thank you, I live in Montana and got into photography when I moved here. Its just such a beautiful place I wanted to capture it in order to share with others. This feels much the same, and ive been watching for some time. This is why i'm a photographer.

[@speterlewis]

OhMyGoshThat'sLovely Tom!

[@davidroby8493]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

[@grgdavis2]

Brillant imagery and the commentary is spot on!

[@Mr.PetePrice]

Great video. Looks like you guys pretty much had the whole planet all to yourselves. LOL That first image man, wow, I'm really drawn to it, very nice.

[@kevinarrowsmith6955]

Some of your best panos Thomas, thank you for sharing . I was a bit worried your mate was going to walk off a cornice at one point though!

[@moc61]

Beautiful location, beautiful photos

[@Leffe49]

Great video, loved the song and music. Wow, those Images were gorgeous.

[@kapilbhallafoto]

Amazing coincidence, this is the exact same spot where Simon Baxter proposed to his wife a few summers ago. Your description and the valley between the two peaks was so detailed I connected it as soon as I saw Simon's video a few minutes later.

[@alexandreamaral1576]

The fourth one is hands down my favourite ;)

[@alcairns149]

Stunning shots. And drone footage to die for!

[@sonholee5769]

Whoa! that shot with the mist after the first panno is amazing! Gorgeous! What a view!

[@damish141]

2 hr+ hike in freezing temps...That's some serious dedication. Fantastic!

[@RH-uf9il]

this video is just a pure joy to watch. great video Thoams!!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Panos are mostly what i do - big vistas to record something which (to the eye) is simply incredible, and with Medium format photography to be printed LARGE, the files are "oooh la laa"! Big vistas are quite incredible to record and particularly difficult with so much white within any histogram. The beauty here in T's images are probably is probably the beauty of the light and colour over composition. To witness such beauty as the "Belt of Venus approaching the earth chasing the blue earths shadow that we saw in Pano 1 - is simply a natural phenomenon and simply incredible to watch and be lucky enough to record. Well done - "viewing something Majestic" should be something which is on everyones bucket list. Well done T and N. Regards Ewan

[@ceilihmcgrady4125]

Yes, worth every step...

[@esthersawyer1097]

I a;ways look forward to your posts...this one did not disappoint!

[@michaelbarr24]

That area is amazing. I live down in Glasgow and make it regularly up to this place. I think this is maybe the same day I was up Buachaille Etive Mor. I imagine you were well down by the time I was up. Loved the second shot!

[@robcarr1899]

Beautiful shots Tom. I love the Highlands it's what MAVERICK would call A TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT. Take care guys. Well done Nev For getting so far after your injury.

[@TheReptileGod]

No need to apologise for the video being "All over the place"... my favourite videos of yours are the ones where you can see you're genuinely excited by what you're seeing & the compositions you're finding. It's inspirational.

[@rubenespinoza7121]

This video was awesome. Had a great documentary feel to it. Thanks

wow awesome video Thomas thanks what phenominal images, but come on.... as an international photography celeb you were air lifted up there wasn't you.... absolutely fantastic images Thomas thanks for sharing

[@jj900]

Great video! I would never be so relaxed shooting in those conditions. No time to talk. Must get one more composition.

[@tonyvaldivia7300]

Thanks Thomas!

[@michaelg61420]

Ooo that low lying mist looks delicious 🤤

[@siphesihlemmusane2926]

I really like the 3rd shot a lot. I love the light separation between the foreground, mid ground & background. It adds that 3-dimensional effect on this 2D image. it sucked me in. Proper stuff Thomas!

[@chrisshepley1050]

Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful break, where I was able to spend a brief part of my day on top of a winter mountain capturing images.

[@philsmith7724]

One of your best, well worth the hike.

[@bradzaruba9686]

Thomas..four images in one day, plus scrumptious drone footage. What a treat!

[@IvanDoherty1]

Second image fantastic

[@robstammers7149]

Another superb video... Tom you're probably one of the best videographers on KZbin, I so enjoy your work, thanks mate.

Allright this is definitely the greatest shoot this year. Amazing mood!
