Landscape Photography & Camping on a Remote Island

Kayaking to a remote Scottish island for landscape photography and camping; that is what you can expect from today's video. Simon Baxter and I load up our kayaks full of camping gear and camera equipment with the hope of a unique photographic adventure. I hope you enjoy this video.

I think I've just about recovered from the long drive, hours of paddling and then attempting to sleep on a deflated airbed 😅. Utterly worth it to paddle on the loch for even just a short while on that morning of pure calm and tranquility. Beautiful documentation of the midge invested adventure 👍

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Glad you liked it, Simon. Maybe we can try again in Autumn.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto that'd be grand.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

@@SimonBaxterPhotography I've had a mattress deflate on a trip. Not good for sleeping.

[@jeremyjmailloux]

@@Jeff-jg7jh try having one of those byob air mattresses on a metal frame deflate on you. Talk about back pain and hard to get out/ off of. I don't recommend them!

[@xcaliber6002]

Did you really ram Tom any time he tried to sell something? lol

[@denisesavage2382]

That blissful moment of being on the water and not moving with beauty and nature all around . . . . . Yeah, that . . . . .

[@ratgirl13]

Relax Heaton! You’re subscribers aren’t pressuring you to be constantly creating videos or images, we like you bro-I can’t speak to your self-doubt, but I can say that I do think you’re doing great. 🙂💕

Watching while sitting in my office (sans windows) eating lunch at my desk and wishing I had this type of life...then Thomas scolds himself for complaining in the past and I say "thank you" and the guy at the desk next to me says "what?" LOL, LOL, when your talking to a computer. Great video Thomas and never lose sight of the great life you have created for yourself. Take care

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Lol. thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it and hope your colleagues don't think you odd 😂

[@selzzaW]

Watching you pull a GFX out over the water is extremely stressful 😁

[@nb7524]

🤣🤣🤣

[@robdalziel7056]

Pure therapy watching this. Apart from the anguish of not actually being there!

[@EwanDunsmuirImages]

Hey Thomas, as a content creator on YT also, I dont understand why anyone would give you thumbs down here. Appreciative of the choreography, the logistics, the 'continuity' in here... This is probably your best VLOGS ever (IMHO). Very cinematic and the drone footage - simply 'sick' (that is a good thing). What a trip, what a place, what conditions... what a VLOG! Regards, Ewan (NZ)

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Cheers, man. Thats very kind of you to say 👍

[@edwinporter3574]

I totally agree. A fantastic vlog with mind blowing scenery.

[@LimitedWard]

The drone shot at 14:09 was absolutely breathtaking!

[@petroverba6054]

Drone footage is outstanding this time! Thank you for the great video!

[@jimsmith556]

Those aerial views of the kayak and the reflected clouds when you go out to escape the midges are incredibly beautiful. Unworldly. Love the serenity and expanse of Scotland.

[@MrShmellit]

Beautiful aerial shots. Paddling through the clouds.

[@scotty4418]

The b-roll was exceptional Thomas and makes the viewer appreciate the work that goes into it. The images were fantastic too, although I will confess to the heart being in the mouth when you had 2 cameras out in the canoe with you.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

I was nervous for my cameras too, but no drama. It would have taken a freak occurrence to roll my boat.

[@gerryphilpott9766]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Or Simon losing control.....

[@Gijz74]

Heaven does exist. It is in Scotland. Stunning landscape and the photo of the four trees is one of your best images ever I think. Love it.

[@cgan2013]

If you took a poll from your followers, I’m sure the majority of us would be fine with a video every other week…no sense feeling the pressure to deliver one weekly.

[@helengray1695]

Totally agree! I was thinking that myself as I appreciate all the effort that goes into making these videos.

[@williamwalker2008]

Agreed. No pressure Thomas. We all love what you can deliver anytime any week; we'll just wait for a new video for as long as it takes.

[@stevejordan2840]

I believe it mainly has to do with FB algorithms. If you want your stuff out there to be seen a once a week video is what triggers it. Or something like that.

[@ThyWorshipMetal]

I can already tell this is going to be a great video, I’m jealous I don’t have anyone that really shares my interest for photography as I’d love to go on trips like these - maybe one day!

[@clovermark39]

Same no one to share my camping and walking. Have to go alone.

[@Michael-oh8fk]

Same here but sometimes solo trips really are the best since you can just live in the moment and do everything you want to and spend as much time as you want taking photos.

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

Same here

[@greypixelphotographydotcom5754]

All of you are in the boat in terms of interest but need some company to fullfil your dreams. Why don’t meet together and plan for similar advantures? No excuse please like we living in different place or different country. They say “If there is a will there is a way’. Go guys plan it together and live your dram to come true.

[@SteveMillerPhotography]

Massive amount of work must have gone in to making this truly outstanding video, I take my hat off to you Sir .

[@AndrewVaughan]

OMG this is so stressful...the bugs were making me itch just watching. That drone footage tho...

[@frednorman1]

Beautiful area, love the drone footage, hated the midges, I am interested in the Go Pro kayak mounts..

I wonder who shoots his drone footage

[@SachaSG]

What a life!!!!!

[@AndyBanner]

This is such a relaxing watch. So cinematic at times and with two shots that are blissful. I admire your bravery at taking thousands of pounds worth of gear out on a Kayak, let alone getting that GFX out and shooting whilst you're afloat. Interesting pedal boat Simon has there. I have a prototype of the Winsome pedal boat that I must get going again.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it , 👍

[@AlergicToSnow]

Thousands of pounds? A tiny bit of an exaggeration.

[@AndyBanner]

@@AlergicToSnow Given that a GFX100 Body alone retails for £5,500, I think you'll find my valuation accurate enough.

Nothing to say but unreal video with incredible filmmaking and editing. I can totally understand and relate to the feeling of constant pressure from KZbin even when it’s not pressure from people watching but from yourself! Keep up the amazing content! 🤙🏼

Thanks, man. Yeah, it's always self appointed pressure. Don't think that will ever change.

[@JamesStonley]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Do you mind me asking what Drone you use?

[@JayGrapherTh]

most daring to bring out a GFX while on a boat like that - most admirable - and the extra shots from the drone really boost the over all video just a lot of work done in this video.

[@robinchun1]

The second image reminds me of a Roger Dean painting.. lovely

A tip for midges in a tent....hairspray. We use it on hols for mosquitos that get inside our hotel room...works a treat!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Brilliant!

[@Tobben63]

Fantastic B-roll footage and then those images ............ stunning

[@TheRPKJr]

This one is great Mr. Heaton! I just bought a kayak and once I feel comfortable with it I plan to do some kayak camping and photography too. I'm not a landscape photographer, but a photojournalist for 25+ years and your channel is nothing but inspiring. I enjoy it immensely.Thanks!

[@jamesjin8839]

I absolutely salute your sir. I live in a tropical country and have many tiny islands/sea-scape opportunity but none of them made me want to go against all the mosquitoes and other bugs to capture. I do believe they will turn out epic giving decent lights but I just hate insects, humid forests and wet jungles/swamp. Those combined are recipe straight to my army PTSDs which reminded me the good life I have(need not to live the jungles every other week). The same goes to every other bird/wild life photographer out there. Your motivation are burning bright as stars.

[@Pg91357]

this deserves to be watched on a big screen tv in 4k

Got to love kayak camping, especially on Loch Maree!

Simply Stunning

[@clivejones1012]

When looking for a camp the rule of 6 P's applies. 1 look at a map, 2 use drone to recce possibles selected from map, 3 take bug repellent, citronella/peppermint based work well, a small 2oz pump spray would last a couple of days. Great dinner by the way.
