Landscape Photography | Grand Vistas & Intimate Scenes

[@robertcase2252]

If I Could hand out an accadamy award to the best youtube photography Chanal, Mr. Heaton would win hands down. He is human and real. He captures the essence of Landscape Photography. I am at times like a kid in a candy store just two years of shooting Landscape. I want to shoot everything. Here, he embrases the landacape and looks at it with the heart of a landscape artist without being full of pride but humble, honest and a inocence. Don't choke on my gushing. I I just appretiate art and talant. I appreciate honesty most of all. Thank You for what you bring to the photography community. Defining life through photography is way you do well. Chears, Wes Case

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's a very kind comment, thank you, I appreciate it a lot :)

[@endyleng894]

I'd definitely say you are my inspiration as a photographer.

endy leng Hi!!✌ how are you? I'm photographer from Belgium. Challenged to post every singel day on IG! Love to see your opinion on it🙏 DM for the same feedback instagram.com/mikaelyanhayk

[@malcalamark5]

Love that you keep it real and show us the ups and downs of photography. Great job Thomas!

[@travellerak1991]

Your every video has always been my inspiration to move into the mountains. Life is so stuck up in the commercial photography, but still I keep my passion alive by seeing you working there in the woodlands. Thanks a ton once again Sir.

[@MortenHilmer]

I really hope your b-roll camera is still alive, and that you're both not lying down sick in the van! Damn, yet other van video triggering my inner adventurer, I feel I may be a much poorer wildlife photographer in the near future. Honestly, thank you Thomas for pushing through your illness to deliver yet another great video. 👍

[@pradoshthapa2199]

And i cant afford even dslr also....✌✌✌

[@pradoshthapa2199]

You two are one of my best photographer..👏👏👏

[@FingerSkateScoot]

Got the meet him the another day, his B-Roll camera survived, but his tripod broke. He told me he got ill during the trip but was well enough to come to the photo show and do a talk.

[@manu.pixels]

What a surprise to see you on his channel. I follow both of you for wildlife and nature landscape photography. I am a Nikon person and Thomas use Canon but still I follow him.

[@haykmikaelyanphotography]

Morten Hilmer Hi!!✌ how are you? I'm photographer from Belgium. Challenged to post every singel day on IG! Love to see your opinion on it🙏 DM for the same feedback instagram.com/mikaelyanhayk ❤

[@draxe9121]

Your intimate photo is absolutely beautiful. I'm with you in that photography is always an excuse to get out. Thanks for persevering.

[@stevensorensen423]

I know what it's like. I've been stuck in my apartment for six weeks dealing with acute bronchitis. I've been feasting on your videos. They've helped keep my spirits up. Thanks for posting all these great videos.

[@zyiola]

Love all the work that you do. I have to say out of these two I like the water and grass the best. I like how smooth the water is and that there isn't any grass sticking out of the water. After watching another of your videos at work, soon as I got home got all my gear packed and ended up going on a 7 mile (11.27 km) hike. I didn't end up with a photo but one thing that came to mind was hearing you say about just being outside and it's not about the photos. Keep up the good work, enjoy the videos that you post.

[@marioguzmanaza105]

With all the challenges in the making of the photos, you make your videos unique :) Never miss one. Thanks for cheering my sunday.

[@haykmikaelyanphotography]

Mario Guzman Aza Hi!!✌ how are you? I'm photographer from Belgium. Challenged to post every singel day on IG! Love to see your opinion on it🙏 DM for the same feedback instagram.com/mikaelyanhayk ❤

[@andys.7083]

I’m not the kind of guy who is writing much comments. But here I have to make an exception: THANK YOU!!! I have many subscriptions on many channels, but you have the only channel I cannot wait for new videos. You have great storytelling and your eye for good pics is amazing. I have to say, I envy you a little bit 😅 the places you visit are amazing! I live in Germany and I love Northern Europe. Maybe someday I can afford to live in GB or Ireland. It’s a dream to me. Keep up the good work. And again, THANK YOU!!! 🙏😀

[@BurmaVamshiKrishna]

You became one of my inspirations with just only one video. Great videos with neatly explained. I Love your work.

[@ttttiiimmy10bit]

7:47 good demo of the polariser there.

[@petermcilroy5742]

Best opening to your video yet!

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Thank you for another great Vlog Thomas I hope you are feeling a bit better now? I loved the inner landscape shot of the grass under the water and the ice the colours were amazing and the grass looked like it was dancing! Take care and keep up the good work Teddy

[@WhitefirePL]

Onwards and upwards and then acrosswards - this is why I just love English :)

[@antont7357]

Glad your B-roll camera survived! Thanks for producing this video despite being under the weather. I look forward to your videos.

[@KarlVaughan]

Familiar scenery for me as I was up that way last year for a couple of days for hiking and photography. I loved every minute of it.

[@r00t0xic]

Not understand what Landscape Photograph is till watch your video, You are my inspiration.

[@tonyturner7676]

Another super video, Thomas. You’re a star, hiking to where you did when feeling under the weather. Thank you.

[@allansisson355]

Great images as always. i'm sure my heart wasn't the only one that stopped when I saw that falling over. That rich blue from the polarizer, very nice with the texture of the valley.

[@kimgrantphotography]

You're living the dream! A simple but enjoyable vlog. Well done for battling the elements despite feeling ill. Loved both images but the intimate one really spoke to me.

[@brianconnollyphotos]

Brilliant timing Thomas. Off to Snowdonia in a few weeks myself and it's great to be inspired by your work. The intimate shot is absolutely stunning.

[@MrRooster1968]

Really happy to see you in wales 30 min drive from my house to there one of my fave locations hope you enjoyed snowdonia

[@AlanVillasenor]

You're my inspiration Thomas, absolutely love your work.

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

We all need a good balance cloud in our lives! Not easy filming a video when under the weather or come back with nice images. You did both, well done! Thanks for sharing, and feel better!

[@00Skyfox]

The two photos can't rightly be compared. They're much too different for comparison, and each has its own unique look. Both are very beautiful and worth capturing. I hope you're feeling better! (BTW, a hot cup of tea is always a win!)

[@Chrismcpheesound]

Good old fashioned radio in the van for checking the weather for the morning.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Christopher McPhee Photography no aerial 😒

[@pietro-viecelli]

I think the most frustrating think about landscape photography is being in such a beautiful location and not being able to put it inside a frame. Another amazing video with great results! Thanks for sharing your adventures and keeping it real (it's not just glamour). All the best!

[@robcarr1899]

great to see you finally got to Wales. you won't be disappointed as you have probably guessed by now. Hope you are feeling better soon . take care bud. I'll be over at Abergele for the weekend and may take a trip to you were. safe journey.

[@gedm7949]

I preferred the intimate landscape shot. Great to be able to say hello to you over the weekend and I thought your presentations really hit the mark.

[@mungojerry990]

I really love your videos. you are such an inspiration to me and I've learned so much from watching your videos. Thanks for the work and keep doing what you're doing.

[@LadyTracyOfTheDisk]

Clever shot there, showing the difference the polarizer makes. Another great video. I agree with you--I like the first shot better.

[@VolatilityTradingStrategies]

I just found your channel, late to the party I know. Dude, amazing content! There's just something bizarrely inspirational about your videos that makes me want to learn not only how to use my camera, but also just how to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. You deserve way more subscribers.

[@heartlandlight6862]

Mister, you have a strong sense of duty. To leave the van feeling as you did. Thanks for the effort.

[@cgriggsiv]

That is such a beautiful fall shot with those Laken and the grass underneath it with the ice

[@kathleenhart707]

That floaty wee cloud ☁️saved the day 😀 !

[@scotty4418]

Love the fact you can be out in the great outdoors and still find that close up composition. Hope you got over your illness and had a good weekend in Birmingham

[@SebGreberEastbourne]

One of my favourite places in Snowdonia! Nice to see a familiar place in your videos!

[@bartwallbank]

Love seeing the videos of you exploring new places! This is one of my favourite areas in North Wales, both for the views and the climbing (there is some amazing easy trad up the Idwal slabs). One suggestion if you end up back there and fancy getting to somewhere slightly different, theres a route called 'Snakes & Ladders' which takes an interesting route through the slate quarries which is very much worth a go.

[@tonymurphy9112]

Having a nap is the best thing on any day 👍😴

[@treeoflifebahrain08]

Love the abstract water shot Thomas. You've motivated me to do a similar trip next month. Also get well soon!

[@philipculbertson55]

Amazing. The clouds in the vista shot made that image work in my opinion.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Love seeing the locations I've been. Such fond and extreme memories of the area around Llynn Ogwen! Thanks for the suggested video! :) If I had to choose between your photos I'd go with the intimate although the epic scene turned out great too! :)

[@jesperlindqvist3318]

Truly inspirational! Wish there were landscapes like these where I live!

[@guadalupe_rodriguezNPK]

Both captures were awesome but my favorite of the two was the grass and lake one. Thanks for a great vid.

[@Brenda-xc7sq]

I so enjoy your videos, the campervan is such a great addition.

[@benvanboom8907]

One tip Thomas...... Campervan Tour checklist !👍☝️ Great to see you out there, don't get ill. regards, Ben

[@gregormurphy5979]

Another fantastic video and stunning location Thomas! That camper van is bringing out the best of you and your work...bet your'e glad you have it. It's turning into an essential piece of kit. Happy travelling :-)

[@remimautjana5622]

Thank you Thomas, for pulling this video while #Sick# lol.. Hope had a great evening after those two shots, i really appreciate to see the first you took. Amazing

[@marionelwell7513]

Even though your not feeling too good still enjoy your videos, I’ve been off all week feeling rough and if you have anything like this Thomas I feel for you as it knocked me off my feet all week, was as rough as rough, but your videos got me though the day

[@brentjones571]

So this is what you were doing before the photo show.Loved it Thomas even though you didn't feel well you carryed on like a trooper , the first photo was just super ☺️ , hope to see you soon again .

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Another great video. The big vista was nice but the intimate shot was really lovely.

[@tesalsangma]

You’re really funny and amazing! Love your videos!

[@tomass7952]

Great video Thomas! I like both images, but the latter one get my vote. Wales looks absolutely amazing..!

[@travelanche6405]

definitely a fan of the intimate (really unique idea and i love the detail in clear mountain lakes) over the vista but theyre both great images!

[@SebastianBevanPhotography]

Two completely different shots, Luv em both 👍😃

[@ezbron]

Woahhh!! You got the Wales Dragon flying, on the vista image!! hahahaha funny, it ressembles a big bird!! Surprised you haven't went north wales before! I gone there before and its lovely! Hope i can go again to that region! You should explore more that region! the falls and bridge on the bottom of Lyn Ogwen are cool too! That intimate photo reminds the same spirit of the one you got early video on lake district, i think? Spectacular work again!! Saw you on the photography show but was too far back to be able to hear much and had to leave! God bless

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I found value in both images, Tom, I know how rough it can be to video while being under the weather. Jason

[@jazzydebs]

Hi Tom, you were so fascinating & inspiring to listen to yesterday at The Photography Show :) 2 great talks, hope you enjoyed it too & meeting everyone. And loved this vlog, great to see you exploring Snowdonia. The scenery is really breathtaking Sorry you weren't feeling so good. Really love the grand vista image.

[@fubband]

Lovely shots both, Thomas. Hope you’re feeling better now, well done for forcing yourself out and making it happen even though you were under the weather 👍🏻

[@pistenstuermer]

"He cannot go past this, I so hope he's going to see it, ...oh yes, he's seen it, he's going to take it, great!" was what crossed my mind in the leaves and ice scene. So it's that one for me, definitely.

[@AndrewBenbow]

These are the videos I like, the ones you do or you, nothing commercial - I don't mean the advertising, there's just a difference between "your" videos and ones where there is something commercial happening.

[@BittyVids]

I love how you convey that this is work. Enjoyable work, but work nonetheless. Especially for those of us who prefer solitude, just getting out of the house when we don’t feel like it can be a battle.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Love that composition! (grass under the water w/ice) feel better soon.

[@steelyscott]

AWESOME video, Thomas! Sorry your a bit ill. Hope you feel better soon cuz your videos and pics are inspiring. 👍

[@stylesub]

I bet Thomas laughed out loud when he edited the starting of this video. Great as always, Mr. Heaton!

[@ai.201]

I like all of these places.

[@derekwillson2538]

Good evening Thomas, excellent image of the 2 lakes. It's a long way up from Ogwen cottage but for this type of picture I think it's well worth the effort. I like the intimate picture as well, in a location like that there are so many possibilities, looking forward to more from this area here's hoping the weather is kind to you for your short stay.

[@imageofoz3586]

Hey Thomas thank you for never failing to inspire this middle aged bloke, looking forward to one day buying you a beer mate. Cheers Joe

[@pat_makes_stuff]

love the perseverence Thomas

[@OPMDS1]

Personally I can't choose between either of the images. They both have their own story behind them. And they are both equally very nice photos. There is a small chance I like the second a tiny bit more due to the warmer vibe it has but the first one is just so simple and wonderful. Great work as always Thomas!

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Enjoyed the video, appreciate the effort involved in heading out when you don't feel great. My favourite was the shot at the tarn, well done for spotting it!

[@rogeryouncecreations]

I like the vista images. You did a great job.

[@victorbondarenko1039]

Definitely good practice make you better. Thomas photography is great and vlogs got a lot better over the time not saying older ones was bad.

[@robertblesse5108]

Hope you're feeling better now, Tom. Beautiful locations, but you were struggling. Of course, I enjoyed the intimate shot of the submerged plants, will never forget our adventure at that little tarn in the Lake District. All best, Bob

[@angellacanfora]

As I hiked around the Palos Verdes peninsula the other day looking for a shot, I thought, "WWTHD?"(what would Thomas Heaton do?)

[@Rashoop]

Find anything "absolutely stunning"? I'm also a S. Cal resident, and it's nice to see our hills beginning to green-up (finally, a late series of storms!). Can't wait for the green and wild lupine. I'm sure it won't be anything like the super-bloom we enjoyed last Spring.

[@spin3976]

I’ve also asked myself the WWTHD question!! Unfortunately the answer is take a photo a millions times better than me but hey it makes me stop and think.

[@angellacanfora]

I think the most important tip I've gleaned from his videos is how to slow down and be more thoughtful in composing a shot. Usually time isn't on our side in terms of the changing light, but that doesn't mean we can't think about how best to utilize what we have before us, how to use it to our advantage.

[@vincenthorn3611]

Bravo Thomas .... intimate picture for me too. Could you explain your choise for camera settings? F11 and why à so slow shutter speed with so much wind. How could you get à such à crispy picture? Vincent

[@warrengh5647]

Wales has some really great vistas which are seldom explored.

[@stanislavrico]

thank you for another great video! liked the intimate scene much more, than the second picture

[@Chrismzeller]

Thanks Thomas! Another fun adventure! I myself prefer the grand landscapes so the lake view is for me. I've been watching so much of Ben Horne's videos lately but not that enthusiastic about his intimate landscapes even if they are hundreds of megapixels!

[@paddymc112233]

You walked right past ‘the Devils kitchen’ which is the vantage point you wanted for both lakes and mountains also an amazing gorge to shoot

[@hemantmittal9120]

Again, At the perfect time!!! Thankyou for great content

[@fijiimages]

More than just photography - superb Tom!

[@appleshampoo324]

Wow those mountains! I live in Belgium, everything is so flat over here and full of houses. Adding Wales to the list.

[@32rabara96]

I've been looking forward to a new video. Thank you Tom!

[@markpursglovephotography]

I love that place. Two great shots too. 😊

[@Adell.Explores]

Great seeing you at the Photography Show hope you enjoyed your time there

[@ISOPhotography]

As a climber I've visited and stayed in North Wales numerous times but never really photographed the mountains as climbing was the reason for being there. Now my interest in landscape photography is as much a passion as climbing so I'm really excited to see your vlog in Snowdonia as no doubt I'll be back there very soon. Your images and vids are ace.

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Thomas. Great to see you making a video in my old stomping ground and the best landscape photography area in Wales. Cwm Idwal and the Ogwen Valley are simply stunning.

[@Relaxwithnaturesmusic]

yeah....not quite sure why Thom said he "may" have a good shot or two. the location above cum idwal and llyn ogwen are amazing to see.

[@jimhamilton8775]

Great vlog Thomas. I have visited this part of Wales. Full of photographic opportunities.

[@MikeFigueiredo]

Great video. I have a lot of respect for you getting out there even though you werent feeling well!

[@jordan_mcchesney]

I hope you get well soon! I shot some videos and photos in Yamanashi (North West of Tokyo), last month. It was -3 and the one thing I forgot to pack was a sweater. I've been paying for it by having a cold all March. That being said, it was totally worth it!

[@wojtekgrabowski1]

good old thomas heaton... this vlog looks a little like your others from the past (lake district etc)... you can feel this mood here either - good job i like it

[@carlwynn5663]

That car park was in oswestry I'm only down the road in ellesmere hope you enjoyed your stay 👍🖒👌

[@SimonPhillipsPhoto]

Loving your channel I’ve been watching for a few months now and it’s all I really check out. The simple and storytelling of the day is great. Btw I prefer the first image more but I do like both just the first one does more for me.

[@justinholding02]

Glad to see you finally visit North Wales Thomas! Hope you enjoyed your stay. It's a very "stunnin'" area ;-)

[@rmccaba9131]

Highlight of the day 👍

[@catalinchiriloi2797]

Love your channel and your work. I must say that it hurts when I see the camera falling. Have you considered replacing the current tripod with a sturdier one? Instead of replacing the camera every time it brakes from the fall you should just mount it o sturdier tripod. Kind regards.

[@larke4530]

The first image is wonderful

[@saturnuria1217]

Evening Thomas. I'm the 'B-roll guy' from after your TPS talk yesterday afternoon. I smiled when you said you read your guide book in the bath as I read your e-book in the bath on Tuesday night! Lovely video and great to meet you.
