Landscape Photography | Hiking the Length of Skye with my Camera

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks, everyone, for watching this video. You can see part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4rGent8gKicirs Also, a freakishly high amount of people are asking about my Bum Bag, so I thought it best to capitalise and make my first million from this Affiliate Link: geni.us/Seral7 and whilst I am pushing my luck, here is a link to my 2022 Photography Calendar, still available: thomasheaton.co.uk/product/2022-calendar/

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how much extra distance Tom must have put in over the course of this journey just walking back for the video camera.

[@joanegert4276]

Yes! I'll never understand where he gets the patience from.

What a journey! Couldn’t agree more about all that’s missed when travelling by car. It’s why I love cycling with my camera gear too - Great work as usual 👍🏻

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Photography by bike is always a winner. Perfect balance between covering miles and taking it all in 👍

The guy that hates tripods comments a video of the guy that has taken 1 handheld photo in the last 3 years. Cool!

@@Toma.s lol so true :-)

[@500gtsnake]

These two should go on a hike together 👌👌🍷

[@jockturner1547]

@@Toma.s I swear James is slowly transforming into a more eccentric and clumsy Thomas Heaton. Who was once the 20mp small sensor pany guy who shot everything handheld going out on more local day shoots, now carries a large sensor, 61mp camera, shoot commonly on a tripod and is off on long photo trips 😂 not its a bad thing, love ‘em both!

[@pixel.catcher]

I know this creates somewhat of an unhealthy benchmark for you in terms of what goes into making videos of this level, but these last two films have been AMAZING. Bravo sir!

Superb Tom - what an amazing three days that was - only to be bettered by the following days :) A great trip, I'd almost forgotten about the hurricane that blew through on Day 2!! Looking forward to installment number two next week Speak soon Murray

@30:11 this part cracked me up pretty good, love to see a person that enjoys his life!

May the force be with you Skye walker.

[@jocoma_photography]

Been to Skye so many times, climbing, photography, camping, poshing it up in hotels. Never get bored of going there.

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Hey, Thomas! Just wanted to say a couple of things I am so proud to see you've grown so much on KZbin!! I remember watching you something like 5 years ago when you pretty much just had started and it's insane how much both your personality and photography skills have developed! You used to be so shy in front of the camera, when people on trails used to walk past by, you didn't talk and gave them an awkward nod or something, but now you're just so energetic, open and likable as a person! Even though I am more of a videographer and barely do any photography, I just absolutely love watching your videos and they have inspired me to go out and shoot just random stuff for the sake of just being out and exploring. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into this channel, you're an amazing person!

[@peterebel7899]

Oh boy, how inspiring! One Thomas (& friend) zero tripod (beside vlogging) one island 2 pair of feet & shoes = unlimited adventure

[@charlottebithell]

Fairly certain I got married on the spot you camped on in the Quiraing. Such an incredible view

[@Peter_Reed_Photography]

These sorts of videos are the bread and butter of your channel. Always a joy to watch.

[@BobsonDugnutt1690]

I will comment but a chocolate donut isn't going to make me like and subscribe. If it was an eclair on the other hand, then maybe. Just kidding. Superb video mate. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff 👍

[@alexkr2143]

Love your Videos Thomas! Thanks alot for so much great content, really appreciated!

[@sugavanamkumaresan9620]

@Thomas Heaton , Please try to create as many possible these kind of long hikes whenever you feel you go for a multiple day long hikes.. It heals so much of our anxiety and depressions as we face this new normal .. Thanks for being such an inspiration and thanks for your wonderful content.. Appreciate it.. 👍

[@venuslnd]

Great photography vdo presentation and trip. Beautiful drone shots beautiful landscape shots. Thanks for sharing this great adventure.

[@gertklay]

Man... am I jealous.... There is no better way to really discover than on foot or bike... And Skye.... Love it!

[@CyberEditing]

To get the perfect timing, you have to put in the time. Iconic / legendary scenery.

[@bluestarcesium]

When I was in Vietnam, (I was in the artillery) the infantry hiked nine clicks a day, which is 9,000 meters. They carried five gallons of water and food for three days(can food), ammo, claymores, and flak jacket. Usually, new guys carried eighty pounds and they had to move up to at least one-hundred by four weeks. Machine gunners carried the M-60, and two to four hundred rounds of ammo. Their load was usually over one-hundred and forty pounds. There were two assistant gunners, who usually carried four hundred rounds also. Their load was about one hundred and twenty pounds. They told me, that the more you hike, the more you can carry. When I see you hiking around, I think back to those brave men, and how cool it was just listening to there conversations. Great video!🙂🙂✝️

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Blooming brilliant video . Awesome story , great images , the Isle of Skye and to top it off , hiking with Murray x

[@912582]

Nice trip in an area I know quite a bit. But Mr Scotland's Mountains as a guide, wow setup up well. Nice one.

[@rickpetersonphotography]

I think this is one of my favorite video/adventures you have posted yet! Love it!!!!!!

[@AndyCurriePhotography]

I used to run photo holidays to Skye and it affected everyone the same way - they were overawed by the place. I go as regularly as I can, it's magical.

[@RancidTony]

Hand held, shooting on the fly! James Popsys will be proud! Seriously though, great video, thank you!

[@jenslundinbyh8845]

Thomas I have been following you for years and I beleive I watched all of your videos. But this one was the best in a very long time. Its so inspiring and I just wanna drop everything and go hiking the mountains. So good.

[@tomfoord8860]

My wife and I stayed at a B&B on Skye years ago. We knew that it included breakfast, but not other meals. Well, we drove onto the Island around noon on a Sunday and by the time we wanted to stop for food, we discovered that all the places were closed. Luckily, the kind people who put us up made sandwiches for us or we would have starved. Wonderful video, Thomas, and memories as a bonus. Take care, Tom Foord.

[@MBE-ib3jy]

Two of the best KZbin guys around, Murray’s channel well worth subbing too, he does great photography as well.

[@louisruth9348]

Journey's of a lifetime for those who can do it. Breath taking views along with stunning photography. Be safe and travel on my friend. Louis Ruth Photography

[@MW0IBH]

Really loved this video for so many reasons. I'm a bit of a KZbin addict in terms of my own hobbies and have followed you for a while for the photography. Combining hiking and camping, another 2 of my interests, make many recent videos absolute must-see. The cheeky taster of the Skye trip earlier in the week on social media had me, for the first time, actually planning to put time aside, make a coffee, butter some welsh cakes, and actually sit down like it's cinema night (I usually grab KZbin time whenever I'm at a loose end, sometimes on my phone, laptop, PC or TV). I hope the dreaded and oft-mentioned 'KZbin algoritm' doesn's stop you creating the type of content that brought all your subscribers to you in the first place. Fantastic work, thanks for the effort you put in :)

[@danielwarren2355]

Best video yet, love this.

[@ZingyLemonade]

Love Murray's channel. One of my favourites.

I rarely comment on KZbin but the donut really got to me. A beautiful beach, latte, and a donut in all the beauty after a great hike! My oh my!

[@susanfirth2279]

Only one word comes to mind to describe this video - EPIC. What a trip. But I felt for you and Murray battling those winds. Lovely scenery and photos. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Take care, stay safe.

[@humansrants1694]

The ship 4:43 reminds me of the movie Alien, at least twice the Nostromo is shot as a tiny ship in a massive space , it creates a feeling.

[@owenfetherston6906]

Always so amazing to see backpacking/photography videos like this because I don't think enough people do it. It's definitely a great way to immerse yourself in the landscape and it definitely shows in the photography. Thanks for the inspiration as usual!

[@jessejayphotography]

Excellent edit on this video, Thomas. It feels like an informal, produced TV series. Great job!

[@neml5755]

Fantastic. One of if not the best video you’ve made. I love Skye and have visited there umpteen times hiking, biking and photographing. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Murray’s channel is brilliant too. Looking forward to next week.

[@johncameron6853]

Just back from 4 days on Skye and loved every minute of it. The weather was terrible in parts which just added to the beauty of the place. The roads can be dodgy if you're unaware about them and other drivers just don't understand single track roads. There is so much to see there, the history and beauty is astounding. If you ever get the chance to visit Skye jump at the chance and go you won't regret it. And don't forget the Smidge. We'll done Thomas on a cracking vid, looking forward to the next part.

Well done Sir. An awesome video. Being locked down in Sydney and not able to go more than 5km from home, was making hearing of your multi mile day hikes, music to my ears. It has given a boost to see through the current lockdown and plan some adventures soon hopefully! Can't wait.

[@normanschultz1142]

Thanks for all you do , but wouldn't it be easier to carry the camera on a sling so you don't need to get it out and put the lens on (letting in more chance for dust ) or something like a Cotton carrier ? My photography is 90% hiking on local trails I'm set with the camera on a cross body strap and a lens cloth for a 3 hour hike longer hikes are a hydration pack with a few filters, an extra charged battery and a tripod attached to the hydration pack oh and a collapsible dog bowl, poop bags and leash for my photo partner ;)

The Lookout Bothy! It looks so much different inside now, I visited that in 2015 when hitchhiking from Poland to Scotland for a month. There was 12 of us in total for the night, had to do some tetris arrangement but it was amazing! Two of us, and some people from Germany, Denmark, France and Norway!

[@davetucker2000]

Superb - one to add to the bucket list. And those views! Thank you.

[@wylie_photo]

I remember walking across the Alps back in 2008 with a D70s and two lenses. Worked well, but I wish I thought of the bum bag idea then as there was a few occasions where it lived in the backpack. Great trip, topped off with a week's climbing in the dolomites with friends. Multi-day treks are just the nicest holidays, well, to me anyway! ;)

[@SunnyBSmith]

I enjoy watching your vlogs and they have challenged me to get out and capture the world through my eyes. Even tho I’m a city girl with no great peaks or breathtaking views on my local treks, I’m inspired to capture the things most people miss. A note to the accessibility of your camera and your bum bag. Great idea I’ve done this for many years due to the price tag of most kits out there. But have you ever heard of Peak Design and a product they call CAPTURE. An ingenious little gadget that allows you to keep your camera at your fingertips. I’ve recently bought one and I have to say it’s a game changer. Although I realize that a bum bag is the best options in certain conditions ie mist and rain but capture is perfect for a fare/any day with less drip from the sky. Thanks for doing what you do.
