Autumn Photography in the Woods

In this video I begin my landscape photography Scotland roadtrip. I start my journey in Galloway Forest Park and meet up with Project Amber who helps fix the problems with my camper van. The weather turns bad so I drive north to the Trossachs National Park where I wake up to beautiful landscape photography conditions of calm winds and mist. I photograph serene woodland and mirror like reflections.

15:36 was a massive balls up on my part 😂😂😂 Please feel free to skip 30seconds. Or you can buy my calendar 😩 What an idiot.

[@BriManeely]

I was a bit curious.. but hey! A little freeform cinematography never hurt anyone.. much, anyway. 😉 I was actually going to comment how good the b-roll is on this video. Reminiscent of Sean Tucker's work somehow..

[@masterthelens]

Thought it was some sort of product placement ;)

[@PMCN53]

🤣

[@andrewohone]

Is that American oil painter Bob Ross on a can of coke...?

[@debbiewhatt7489]

It reminded me to say thanks for the calendar! February's image is absolutely superb - I remember watching your vlog on taking that image and being so impressed with the effort it took and the beauty of that morning that we wouldn't have seen without you being there to record it. Thank you again !

[@uvejsdodachanel]

...raindrops, forest, autumn....Lovely

[@macronencer]

6:13 That is a BEAUTIFUL shot. And it's only B-roll!

[@DavidBrookover]

I always find your videos refreshing and authentic Thomas. Keep up the great work and may your sojourns around this earth reveal its beauty to you for many years.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

"everything in Scotland is looking beautiful" aww Tom. That's the nicest compliment I've ever had!

[@jonasbenediktarndt6211]

Perfect intro, no words needed, really relaxing and enjoying to watch!

[@racerx3866]

Amazing when you stop looking and see the beauty, shots appear.

[@davidv6803]

I appreciate when you showed the difference between the reeds being int he reflection versus not. I found that helpful to learn that lesson.

[@tompetersphotography]

Great vlog Tom, I just love them peaceful images so soothing! Totally agree with your thought process with taking your time and eliminating distractions

[@appleonmondays3956]

I don’t always have the time for your videos but when I do I’m thoroughly happy about them. They are such a relaxing experience to watch. Thank you!

[@oxoTn1k]

Wonderful, wonderful woodland. Thomas is brilliant as always.

[@joshtheintern]

6:04 now that is a stunning shot

[@amishparekh359]

Agree, your image was absolutely magic. Loved it the most

[@robstammers7149]

A truly superb video Tom, I especially liked the opening few minutes, no talking, calm serene music, followed by the scenes of woodland and water, what more could anyone want at the end of a busy working day, once again Tom many many thanks.

[@robertblesse5108]

Beautiful autumn in Scotland. Thanks, Tom, I always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

[@mauistevebear]

ya...no words required...peacefully done. Love the tips on the reeds, perfect compo...so lovely...keep going! and oh ya...YEA for the van!

[@777Erf]

I love that misty lake picture.

[@derekcampbell4413]

Thanks for taking us along on your road trip. Glad you got the van fixed. Lovely pics, especially the last on of the Lake.

[@DanielRWomack]

One thing I really loved about this video was how, in setting up a scene - whether it was composing a photo or setting up a video scene - you found ways to build this fantastic background composition while framing up a totally different still image. It beautifully bridged the subject matter with your story and the message you were trying to get across. I don't know if this was intentional or happenstance but it really helped me to enjoy the entire video quite a lot more and I found myself getting more from it even intellectually than I had initially anticipated. Well done!

[@joelrollins3984]

Beautiful scenery & excellent pics! Thx for sharing.

[@Marco030]

absolutely georgeous ❤️

[@rachelwatson9490]

Nice to have you back in Scotland, I hope you enjoy your stay. The colours are superb at the moment, especially in Dunkeld which is my favourite haunt, and the Argyll areas.

[@rachelwatson9490]

Pucks glen is also magical ;)

[@davidbruceod]

Glad to see some of your classic drone views. It adds so much context to where you are. thanks

[@heathbrowning34]

Great video Thomas. So chilled and relaxing - a joy to watch! A great way to wind my day down so thanks for that! Keep up the great work 👍🏻👏🏻

[@Jensrnsholt]

Mr Heaton, This is the best of your's! What an amazing opening - and the way you mix your passions of landscapes, the art of capturing the view and chasing the opportunities to doing it (the van power stuff amongst...) - it's fantastic! Thank you!

[@jimjames4875]

First 2 and a half minutes! Beautiful!

[@charlenenagel7962]

Thanks Tom, I really enjoyed this video! Glad you finally got your van fixed. And thanks especially for the composition tips for finding the tranquility in the lake photo. Very helpful!

[@HiruS22]

Brilliant, the coming together of two of my favourite KZbinrs 👍

[@srodigital]

Is it me or was there almost a subliminal cut of a Thomas Heaton calendar in the video...(LOL).

[@timmahaffey4895]

I was cursing Thomas Heaton the past couple hours while in the woods with miserable conditions, driving snow and bitter cold wind. In all seriousness I’ve been binge watching your channel and wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put in to the making of your videos. The content and images are fantastic, I learn a lot, and they motivate me to get out and shoot. Even on days like today.

[@RockLakeMama]

Oh yay! It's great to see you finally bring your doggy out with you to enjoy the trip! Thumbs up for that alone!

[@BrianK04]

the intro was beautiful. Very cinematic, loved the framing, the cuts, no words.

[@Prolitiker]

Hey Thomas, thanks for the wonderful, relaxing and inspiring videos. I really do enjoy beeing able to watch your creative process. Just keep an eye on not burning out from that much of content output. Greetings from Germany! ✌️

[@Alodri]

This is your world Thomas, you can do whatever you want

[@lars-gunnarbergquist1157]

Great scenery , great photos!

[@cjgunawardana]

This is what I needed this morning.... THANKS!!!

[@MichalOlender]

I feel in peace watching your videos Thomas.

[@davidalley2454]

Hey, Thomas.....great calendar!!! Glad I purchased it!!! Love the last capture on the loch with reeds. Beautiful image!!

[@yibodong2059]

Heaton's style is unique.

[@starsearchreject]

I cannot get over these colors. I've never seen anything like it here. Gorgeous.

[@bikecommuter24]

love that lake, I could sit there all day in the quiet, in the rainy-misty weather and love every minute of it. If I got a photo out of it , brilliant if not ,still brilliant. They still show Bob Ross shows here in the USA. I used to paint and always enjoyed his show.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Awesome video Thomas, and some beautiful images, but then again you were in the most beautiful country in the world. Enjoy Scotland.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Another cracking watch 📷❤️

[@mccuejonathan]

Glad to see you enjoying Loch Ard and the surrounding area. Lucky to have it 30 minutes from my front door!

[@harsh8426]

Great to see the drone shots!

[@bestpix100]

Marvelous, loved the pictures. Thanks

[@EMillerphotography]

Love your videos :) Cant wait for the next week

[@jamierowe3368]

Best film yet Thomas. The scene where you are describing the shot of the reeds and the loch was wonderful. Really helpful and instructive. It was really good to see you work the scene. 👍

[@darrenboyd6967]

Great video! Nice touch with the Bob Ross. Loving what you do.

[@markhyde1970]

Bob Ross!!! Love watching that bloke. Great film Tom. I too, on a good day, photo shoot end up shhoting everything and yet go home with nothing - well I used to. I watched a KZbin film of you with a couple of American people critiqueing (in a mostly positive way) people's photo's. What you said about negative space, the photos being too busy and the statement "I don't dislike it, but what am I looking at, what's the focal point and subject??" really helped me. As a result I'm far more selective and understand that some days, this means I can come home empty handed. But it's opened my eyes to composure of the picture more. ....in theory.

[@BEairsoftTV]

Great video Thomas ! Thanks☺️

[@davekelly8168]

Lovely simple image, gorgeous drone footage too..

[@Clarney]

Loved the silent opening sequence, quite satisying to just watch with enough of the story being told to hold the attention, and I feel oddly compelled to buy a calender.

[@Hangs4Fun]

Good to see the 304L back in use a couple times.

[@markmckie67]

Good to see you in my part of the country, Clatteringshaws reservoir in Bonnie Galloway.

[@markburton3306]

Currently my part of the world. Love it

[@hermilioquintana9178]

Hello Tom, it was good to see you introducing some drone images and the footage was perfectly balanced in how much you showed. I look forward in seen more of your videos which are packed with useful information. Thank you for sharing.

[@zippywalker6406]

Peace and Tranquility with lots of negative space is your style.

[@ItsaCampingThing]

Great video. Especially loved the crisp sound at the beginning. Odd calendar part half way in

[@MarkMcNeill22]

Cracking vlog love the end results after the pissing rain ☔📷

[@garyholman8634]

Great photos Thomas!. Liked the one over the lake, that was great, about the time of the " Calendar Advertising Pitch!" HA! Awesome Place Scotland! Enjoy!

[@chriss2761]

Beautiful video Tom👍 it’s what Wednesday’s are all about👌 looking forward to the next video 👍

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Sat chilling, enjoying this very chilled ep, lots packed into this, not thinking anything much as it’s late, as you do. When I see a thumbnail with my big mush at the end!! 😬 thanks Tom, means a lot, would be good to meetup one time 👍 me and the family loved our time around your stomping ground of Northumberland. I will return. Take care, sithee 👍

[@Gavla13]

Just what I needed. These are my favorite videos mate.. beautiful Photography...

[@simonhunt10]

Love the back stories!

[@antonoat]

@44sec this would have made a cool photograph on it's own, love it. Never too many videos from you Thomas, appreciate all that you share, cheers. PS you are not alone in looking for the perfect tree! lol.

[@philmarsh5593]

We moved from central England to South Ayrshire (just up from Galloway) late last year and it rekindled my interest in photography - and indirectly, to your channel. Glad you appreciate the beauty of this place as much as me - every season has it's moments but Autumn is stunning. Great explanation during the loch-side shot btw. Must follow up on the van stuff, that really appeals. Look forward to the next one and enjoy this fine country!

[@jonathanruiz2441]

Good work and beautiful pictures!

[@WillPhipps]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! I love how you've gone back to the basics and making videos outdoors in achievable locations on the UK, although saying that I'm looking forward to watching videos from Nepal

[@danwray5626]

Excellent thoughts on composition. Thanks!

[@kushla]

there was no video on Sunday, I started worrying if Thomas was ok. Happy to see him being fine! ))

[@PabsSco]

The Trossachs are wonderful, pretty much a 20min drive from me. Love going there...

[@612morrison]

Tom I love the single tree golden with the green background.

[@scotty4418]

very beautiful and tranquil pair of images Thomas and hope the rest of the trip goes well. Certainly can recommend the calendar. Got my signed copy and awaiting 2020 to arrive to get it up on the wall 👍

[@shropshirephotography-with9157]

Absolutely loved this VLOG and the images ... it seemed to ooze calmness and serenity even with the 30 seconds hiccup 😁👌

[@ShaunieMcNeil]

That drone footage though 😱👏🏼📷

[@ExplorationsbyRod]

You are one of my favorite photographers, awesome content and an inspiration for me to get out with my camera. Keep up the good work.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's very kind, thank you.

[@robcarr1899]

Fantastic video mate. Photos are gorgeous. Glenco and Loch Ness areas are my favourite parts of Scotland. There is a beautiful woodland at spean bridge on the A82 between fort William and Inverness. Have a great trip.

[@pukster88]

First time I think I've ever bought a calendar. Keep it up Tom. Think I started watching you around the 20k mark!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Ha, thanks for the long time support!

[@glensumner3425]

what a happy little vlog ;)

[@thomasjcahill2798]

Nice weather for the ducks!

[@Himlovesrunning]

Great as Always!! thanks

[@jeremyspencer2974]

Beautiful video Tom. One of your best. Jer

[@Blackboarddiscover]

Even before the video starts, i hit like and comment. 🗻🏞️⛰️📷♥️

[@ianmcclelland2524]

Thank you another excellent video.....

[@thereedsy]

great stuff, as always

[@stevebanks484]

Hi Thomas. Glad you got the van sorted. Absolutely love the west coast of Scotland - just wish I’d done more photography there before emigrating to Aus ☹️. One of those areas I could spend weeks exploring. Did wonder about the calendar “intrusion”. Needn’t have bothered - already got mine, thanks 👏👍

[@WouterSpitters]

The auto-generated subtitles think the rain drops in the first seconds are applause. Guess it's a poetic way of saying thanks to an outdoor photographer. ;)

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Great video Thomas thanks for sharing the trip 👍🙏

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

Another great video Thomas.

[@ryanltaylorphoto]

Awesome video Tom! That Bob Ross energy drink at the end was icing on the cake.

[@PMCN53]

This episode was a perfect way to start my day! (Thursday morning in Australia). Yep, I was wondering about the calendar video in the middle of your description LOL! PS I have my copy on my desk waiting for 2020. I treasure these calendars as a yearly glimpse into the TH portfolio. Enjoy Nepal!

[@Orkney_Drone_Systems]

I went to Loch Ard yesterday to try and find your tree. Unfortunately i went round in circles looking at every small Larch tree, but couldn't find your masterpiece lol! You put me in the mood for trees Thomas. Enjoy your Scottish trip ;-)

[@flybyairplane3528]

Thomas, hello, I had always loved overcast days, Years ago,,with 35mm film, beautiful saturation,,of aspen trees, single yellow maple trees ,any yes sometimes in the mist, these from this lot are SUPER, THANKS, for your truck, Cheers From, NJaUSS🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@PJHernandez01]

dude, your masterpiece is brilliant in terms of photography and how to choose object to shoot, very nice

[@hankpopik2492]

I thought for the most it was one of your better videos in a while

[@dozerjohn]

Holy shit, that's Project Amber!

[@neilcole3406]

Stunning location,Thomas most definitely makes me feel calm, sorry about the solar panel comment, solar panels and the UK weather always makes me laugh!! Glad to see the van is now ok!

[@derekgillan7314]

Oh dear! What a great pity the sky was so poor, Loch Ard is a fantastic location. Difficult to know where the sweet spots are if you have not studied it, chance of an Osprey.. If you had just gone over the Dukes pass, you would have woken up to heaven, the mist would have framed the wonderful Loch Achray, spectacular angle for an Autumn sunrise and view.Have a wonderful trip through Scotland.
