Camping Overnight for One Photograph!

In this video I go camping up in the fells so that I am in the perfect position for landscape photography. In the end I only come away with one image, so the question is; was it worth the time and effort?

Every time I watch one of your videos I want more stuff, photography stuff, videography stuff, hiking stuff... it’s honestly not a bad thing, really I’m saying that I think your videos are really well put together and beautiful to watch.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's very kind, thank you, but dont reach for the credit card based on my videos. It gets expensive 🙂

[@MaartenGruijters]

thanks Thomas for the video, these are the video’s i like the most, authentic and down to earth, the way you started!

[@scotty4418]

Nice to see you out on the fells with the tent. Reminded me of your earlier vlogs and agree with what you said as sometimes the experience can be its own reward even if you don't get the image you set out to get

[@ZachTSmith]

Photo or not, getting out into nature and going camping is always worth it Thomas!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Yes. 100% 👍

[@jesse113553]

I love seeing your preparation and BTS story. It feels calm and meditative.

[@KrUzEpArX]

I've only recently discovered your work Thomas and I have to say you're already one of my favourite landscape photographers. Your attitude towards photography and other people in general is exemplary. You're inspiring and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking you give other the courage to just get out there and try. Thank you 👍

[@markkent294]

I have to say these are my favourite kind of vlogs. Reminiscent of your earlier ones before you were quite so famous :) Inspirational as always. Thank you!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's very kind, thank you. I really do enjoy making these and need to spend more time in my own back garden.

[@MHTutorials3D]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I have to agree with Mark on this. The appeal of your videos is in part "that could be me "

[@peterkokai]

This is a back-to-the-roots Thomas Heaton video and i love it! love the camping, the location, the failure, the vlog-style and the final picture! thank you Thomas!

[@oregonnich]

absolute beautiful country. Love this time of year!

[@deborahacolephotography7823]

Absolutely! The camping is as exhilarating as the perfect photo! The picture is the journey!

[@PaulMessner]

Fabulous video again Tom. I love the camping videos. Your original wild camping video is what inspired me to start my wild camping youtube channel. There's no finer feeling than opening your tent overlooking the fells and lakes. I've only recently begun to take the photography side of things a little more seriously. Great tips as always...Oh and well jealous of the camper. 😀. Thanks for sharing. Paul

[@thewordonthestreet743]

I agree totally. The camping vids are my fave too

[@PaulMessner]

@@jonfriday4641 I like to use the word adventurous. Thank you 👍

[@matthewhenry6281]

Agreed. Love those original wild camping videos

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks Paul. Glad you enjoyed it. Unzipping the tent at dawn is always an experience. There's usually a lot of anticipation in that moment.

[@mikemitchell3889]

Tom, Beautiful, and my favorite time of year! Thank-You, Mike

[@lenefischer3773]

Enjoy the trip and the landscape...life is not just photography....All the best, Thomas!

[@idyllitz3911]

yeah sure.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Couldn't agree more.

[@alexander-1761]

For what it's worth.. I've been following you for years, and these field-based videos showing you out in nature and focused outside of the normal KZbin grind are always my favorites. It's like we're brought along for the ride while you explore two things you're so obviously passionate about (nature and photography). I'm deeply in love with both subjects, but don't work the sort of career that let's me enjoy them as often as I'd like. Your videos give me that sense of connection despite being stuck in a corporate office.

[@mymisty7]

I love this channel. The vlogs and the the music really goes with it perfectly! I look forward to every one you put out! Keep up the great content! I love it!

[@uroojwaheed955]

amazing , soothing and refreshing...all at the same and in one place

[@a160369]

That was a classic video again, Tom. The reason I started following you was this type of content! Thanks

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

Landscape photography is more than just landscape photography. I often find the photograph itself to be a bonus, although functioning as a main driving force to get out there and experience. Thanks again for another beautiful video filled with passion and love for the outdoors!

[@olivergoette4240]

Those videos are really excellent. Very authentic and down to earth.

[@IvanKosovan]

Seriously my favorite youtuber. Very inspiring videos and especially images!

[@abhishekdhiman3925]

Hi @Thomas, I’m feeling very demotivated these days, looking like every door is closed and I’m not gonna make it. But your videos are the only thing that is giving me some positivity, some light. Thankyou And the picture of the tree is looking like a painting. You are an amazing Artist. ❤️

[@danielegravina]

Not only your photographs and videos are beautiful, but also the way you explain your composition is fascinating. Very well done

[@lesliecremer4930]

Love your videos. Just found out about you and your work not too long ago. Your pictures are amazing!! Such beautiful views! You are so talented! Keep doing what you're doing and letting us follow your journey! The places you go to are surreal & breathtaking. I have been catching up also with your older videos & binging on those.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thank you so much, and welcome to the channel 🍻

[@matthewkrah1567]

Glad to see you back out in a tent Tom! Wonderful video, I really enjoy the explanation about the blurry leaves. Looking forward to watching the next one, Cheers!

[@robstammers7149]

Another gorgeous program to feast my eyes and ears over. Thanks Tom.

[@2212ajit]

It's just amazing how u find such delicate details. Thank you for your video.. Keep posting

[@Mukhtar_Ali]

Man! I like your patience & sharp eye which looks into changing light conditions. Yet another great video

[@ottersphotography304]

Excellent call on when to move on or stay. Good advice to have a possible back up composition in these instances where you know the conditions may not pan out on your main interest. Thank you for all your content sir.

[@karl-johanbratt9949]

Thomas your videos are lovely, keep em coming!

[@jonfriday4641]

Great stuff Thomas. Keep em coming.

[@michaelhill692]

This video is Thomas at his best. This is the type of video that caused me to subscribe. Great info and entertaining as well.

[@gstandaert]

I have to agree with the other comments here, your camping videos are always superb. A joy to watch!

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

The journey the place but eventually all came down to why I love watching your videos. You found something that not many would. Love the shot. Take care, Sithee 😁👍

[@luisfelipegope]

What an amazing photo, I'm blown away by it! Very impressionist like

[@biffyeager611]

I really like the way you are growing! Your style much more refined and really explaining what caught your eye! A true sign of professionalism! You truly are becoming a Great Photographer! I will keep following!

[@ChristopherCoombs]

Awesome video again Thomas it was your first wild camping video that inspired me to start KZbin in the first place!! 🙌

[@MrPhotog4u]

Nice when you can FEEL the light change. Still a good capture when the image in mind doesn’t happen. Lemonade out of lemon for sure. Thanks for sharing

[@DonovanChilders]

Only one image, but an amazing one. To me, it has the feeling of a painting - it's amazing!

[@Leffe49]

That was a beautiful image of that tree and yes I think it was indeed worth it, to get such a good image.

[@trevorronson7458]

Back to what you do best. Great vlog.

[@tonyjames5444]

Good video because it shows the reality of landscape photography, main thing is to enjoy the scenery and being outdoors just as much as taking pictures and then it evens out.

[@yannickjorzik-brzelinski8954]

Oh nice, walla crag starting from the ashness bridge was my very first hike in the lakedistrict 2 month ago! Thanks for that video Thomas, brings back all memorys! And what a beautiful shot of that tree i really like that and the squarecrop is just a perfect match!

[@OgetID]

You walking for thousand miles, always great journey and great documatry, that's what I love from your journey. Great mr Heaton

[@hacky296]

I set my gear up to capture a waterfall in The Rockies a couple of weeks ago and had in mind for a long exposure but didn't bargain on wind blowing the lovely colourful trees and I got wound up by the slightest breeze blurring the a tree I had prominently in the composition. Got home and on reviewing the shots and I'm most happy with the blurriest; as you said it was the colour that mattered not the clarity of a single leaf. If only I'd seen this vid beforehand I could have saved myself some serious angst. Great work once again Tom :)

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

Sometimes things don't always go the way we want. Just enjoy the ride. Awesome video, btw.

[@peterbaylis8631]

Getting out and camping is worth the effort and the experience is very rewarding. If you happen to capture an image as well then you have a bonus. I enjoyed this video Tom and the sentiments you express about the photographic opportunity. Cheers.x

[@kieranlehane]

Gorgeous image Thomas. Really enjoyed this video!!!

[@Steed171]

Amazing shot of the tree. An ethereal quality.

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Lovely image very much like a painting. Definitely worth the effort in my opinion 👍🏻

[@duaneparker5070]

Very inspirational, meaning it inspires me to get out and take my own photo excursions.

[@frankkristof8859]

Another great video Thomas.. Keep up the good work

[@ShaneHerringPhoto]

Pffft. Drove 1,000 kms for the day just to see if there was anything worth photographing. There was, but not that trip. Love your videos. Such a refreshing change from many others.

[@jaytomsky6834]

T-Heatiiii my boy!! Always a wonderful video. I just recently relocated away from the mountains and I miss it so much :(

[@ANDYD655]

Beautiful image! Love the wild camp adventures which have inspired me to put a rucksack and 2 man tent on my xmas list and hopefully get out and do some in the lakes or Scotland, cheers.

[@deborahclemons8022]

Beautifully soothing. You've got your mojo working again, it seems. Back to basics.

[@xfirty2x]

It's funny, you talk up/down the image/s you're taking so much that one would be mistaken into thinking that they're going to be mediocre or 'not that great', then we see the image/s and they're breathtaking.... every. single. image... it really is magical. Top notch mate.

[@kitsva]

Loved watching this in Manassas with YOU & 1000 others as it was fun experiencing others reactions and laughs😊.

[@Trblmkr07]

interesting to see how the video showed at Nature visions and then this one on how much editing he did to make it youtube ready.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

@@Trblmkr07 I was there too. It was great!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

I was thinking of you guys when doing my second edit. I chopped quite a bit out.

[@lucatisi228]

thank you for share this your experience where the weather didn't help a lot. sometimes I feel like it happens just to me😊

[@peterdixon502]

Just love the borrowdale valley great choice this time of year 👍

[@cathyann1601]

That image of the tree is stunning! IMO, worth the trip.

[@PhotoBob]

I cant help but think you would fall so far in love with an Oly EM1mkii 12-40pro or 12-100pro. Hi-res mode and you are set. Small carbon tripod.. so good. Awesome video as usual!!!

[@GreenRC24]

4:42 This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!

[@Levashanks]

Wow Thomas I think that might be my favorite image of your YT works beautiful stuff man - Cheers

[@gasoowannab]

Love the packing scene!

[@RedSpectrumPictures]

I always find your Lake District the most inspiring.

[@LuigiNespeca]

Great ambient and I love the acoustic musi as well!

[@valpayne2963]

Great image. Soft, moody, painterly. One for the wall.

[@Gijz74]

16:45 - That is a fantastic image. Well spot and well captured!

[@allanmarshall4582]

Loved the only image you took, very simple but a nice woodland shot. Always next time, the light might be more favourable. Any visits planned to your local coastline. Love Seascape Photography.

[@BeCoShooter]

Even a bad day shooting photographs, beats a good day at work.

[@davidhardyphotography]

I really love all of your videos Thomas. You make me want to go out and shoot. Very inspiring in all that you talk about. Would hope to one of these days meeting up with you. Also love your IG page as well. Cheers!!!

[@T5Gamez]

Just the views alone make me want to get to the lakes again! If only it wasn’t such a trek away for me.

[@robcarr1899]

Great job Tom. That photo is gorgeous. After work on friday I'm out for a walk with my friend Mr Canon in my local park to find a tree.😎😎😎😎

[@sarafenua]

Hello Thomas, thank you so much for your videos. It inspires me each day for better pictures. I just bought your 2019 calendar. I hope it’ll come to french polynesia without any problem 🙏😬. I keep an eye (even both..😬) on your channel !

[@tjsinva]

I see a candidate for the 2020 calendar. Nice!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Possibly, possibly. It does have a certain subtlety to it which I like.

[@hobbybaggard6311]

I'm new to your channel. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@tobiasyoder]

Watching Thomas fill up that pack is oddly relaxing and satisfying

[@paulbarrett423]

enjoyed your video, lovely location , I find myself more and more drawn to doing landscapes now im getting on a bit .

[@falconxvid]

By listening to this guy I do now understand what photography is all about. nicely done...

[@StarScaperPhoto]

Very nice episode again Thomas. Love your camping videos from the UK. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Now was that little Nigel Danson quote sneakily thrown in on purpose? ;-).

[@macronencer]

I really enjoy the camping and hillwalking videos! Shame you missed out on the bigger shots, but I think the tree was a good choice. "Painterly" is definitely the word - quite impressionistic.

[@danev1969]

Tom, We loved the video and the thought you put into finding another opportunity (lemon vs lemonade I guess) and your final shot. I tend to focus (no pun intended) on sharpness and have learned an alternative view on the value of softness. Thank you.

[@george-vlachos]

That was quite amazing ! from 13:48 to 13:49 it was obvious in the video that the light had warmed up significantly, I imagine it must have been quite astonishing on site!

[@fotofletch]

Watch the props on that air mind Tom, so easy to bend packed like that! Nice Vlog as usual.Thanks

[@RickMentore]

Brilliant!

[@gordonmiller4439]

In addition to the stunnin' photography stuff, I love the vanity auto plate, F11 HTN, truly fitting for a nice bloke.

[@vproven]

Beautiful capture.

[@brentjones571]

I do enjoy your solo adventures even with a buddy , like the good old vlogs Tom , thank you more please 👌👌😉

Cool one. Looks like a painting

[@jkendal]

Beautiful image!

[@acidsnow5915]

love watching videos like this! i should overnight as well. would get some dope pictures! thanks for sharing all this beautiful content with us! really enjoyed watching this

[@cgriggsiv]

I may be at work right now but I will show you watching this when I get home And by the way there's nothing wrong spending the night somewhere in the woods for a photograph the next morning I've done it many times that I've enjoyed it many times

[@robertwhitemoto]

The longer you stare at the tree photo, the better it gets! great eye Tom.

[@richardvaleo6642]

Thomas, really your videos, very informative and encouraging for my own photography.Did you ever explore the mirrorless camera option. The latest inovations in all the aspects of cameras and lens, seems the new way to go.

[@miltonpics]

A great image Thomas.

[@stephenmclean4127]

You are very natural Thomas I love your videos You are a canny photographer too!

[@denispol79]

It looks just like a oil painting!
