Thomas,your descriptive videos show your passion for the outdoor life and photography brilliantly.superb as ever.

[@dmytroholub7961]

I always get excited when I see your stunning videos on my feed

[@jeff_freestone]

Rewatching your whole series as I’m in Australia and it’s summer and I really need some inspiration to get me through to autumn. Nothing better than watching a Thomas Heaton KZbin video whilst enjoying an ice cold brew!

[@joseluisfernandezroa7561]

You know, I love the dramatic music you use, somehow it gives a sense of belonging to your photos, thanks for sharing.

[@GlJoh]

Thanks to make me escape from my everyday life

[@Marcin79W]

It's such a beautiful place in winter. It happens to snow over the hills but green and sunny in the valleys. A perfect contrast to do photos. Only thing is a patience, one day it may be raining and windy, next sunny with snow. You never know.

[@joelhopkins379]

So PURE! I really enjoy watch your on location videos

[@aprilurquhart9690]

Fantastic views - it feels like I was there with you. This is one of my favourite videos.

[@RickMentore]

Your work is most inspirational. No other photographer is as adventurous, with the talent to match!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+Rick Mentore I wouldn't say that, but thank you :)

[@sevenbridgesoneriver4838]

Is that ACTUALLY Tom Heaton on location where there are other people? Shock horror! I thought EVERYWHERE you go the world is yours alone. It's starting to hurt between videos Tom! When r you gonna quit ur day job and do this for a living? Absolutely LOVE what you do, as do quite a number of other photographers I know here in Scotland. Any chance of a 'night with Thomas Heaton' sometime? I know at least half a dozen of us that would travel from the West of Scotland for that! Your passion, the manner with which you project it, visually, orally and with music.........it just strikes a chord so well with so many. Seriously, thanks Thomas. You're a real inspiration! Yours kindly, Rob.

[@DavidKingsbury89]

Another outstanding video, and more outstanding images. Thank you.

[@Djem79]

I want just to say, THANK YOU.

[@imthatjayson]

Another excellent on location shoot, Mr. Heaton! :)

[@DiiZeh_]

Absolutely amazing, Thomas! I get excited when you upload! Amazing content, with the realism! Keep it up, mate! Top fan! :D

[@codybonner3828]

YES a new video! love it.

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Good morning! Happy Thursday! Thank!

[@MarkoCoomo]

Love it. Back in the lakes in 2 weeks time .. much more exciting than Christmas! Hope you're not effected by flooding. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Enjoy it, the lakes is wonderful. I personally wasn't affected and I'm lucky as almost every surrounding county has been flooded.

[@mandrakedas]

Just what I was hoping for over the Festive season... One of your wonderful videos. Thanks for all your content. Looking forward to more in 2016.

[@bigokie50]

Your photographs and videos make me smile every time. Outstanding!

[@MorganNowland]

It's ridiculous how excited I get when I see a new video pop up. I really enjoy watching. Keep it up! I know it's time consuming to make these but your making a big impact. I'm always super motivated to get out and shoot more after watching your videos. Thanks

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+Morgan Nowland That's great to hear and I shall be keeping it up! Thanks.

[@andrew7a]

[@abdulazizalghamdi9846]

You sir document a memory a feeling and inspire in many ways !!! well done.

[@NorthernSteamuk]

Lovely video Thomas, Keep them coming, its a dream job, one which with a disabled wife i struggle to do these days, your videos give me freedom to explore. Thank you

[@wilbmoore]

Thomas I love your patience man. That's how you photograph landscapes. Its not about quantity but quality even if you go all that way and get one great image.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+Somewhere in America wil moore Thank you, I always believe in quality over quantity. it doesnt matter if you don't get an image at all, its about much more than that.

[@wilbmoore]

I agree totally.

[@Geronimo1104]

very nice, as always. Best landscape Photography Vlog.

[@CoyotePark]

[@intgolfbrilliant9259]

Ive only just found your videos and I am absolutely amazed with the tutorials. The inspiration I have got from watching a few of the videos wants me to go out and shoot landscapes whatever the weather. Keep up the good work I will look forward to viewing more of your work

[@joeandjan]

Love your work Thomas. Keep up the fantastic work you do.

[@Luoslav]

Thomas, I'm fallowing you since your first video. You are literally my role model as the photographer. Thanks for your videos and for inspiring me. :)

[@vproven]

Very nicely done. Incredible views and images. Thanks.

[@robertuskoppies444]

Thanks for this lovely, atmospheric view of Blencathra....I always feel kinda sad when I see this beautiful mountain as a good friend of mine died there when he slipped and fell down some 600 feet....

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+Robertus Koppies I'm sorry to hear that.

[@Neerbija]

Beautiful.

[@bobbaker9213]

Amazing pictures!! Please do more!! these are super enjoyable to watch!!

[@clartypaths840]

[@charleywallworth4690]

[@Qigate]

Thanks Thomas. Always great stuff. Makes me miss the UK !

[@darrenmarks2358]

Fantastic! I always look forward to your videos, very inspiring.. keep it up!

[@klanden]

Thanks for sharing another great video. Truly awe inspiring.

[@1motivationstation]

Another superb production well done Thomas most enjoyable.

[@DonybrookandBray]

Love this video, we recently hiked Blencathra taking the easy route up from the centre and back down. This video is a a good summation of the challenges of photography on the fells, great videos stand the test of time!

[@tomt274]

Another great video, Thomas. It is nicely described here what is the landscape photography about. Not always about taking the best photo in the world (that's subjective anyway) but about capturing the uniqueness of the moment - the atmosphere and photographer's perception. What I really like about your videos is not only the beautiful places you take us all to and your great advises but also the way how the video is presented. Your calm commentary together with nice music only strengthen the atmosphere of whole video and it works very well all together. After watching every video I have strong urge to grab a camera and go outside. Thank you!

[@Rehmoss]

yaaaay a new video! Love your work, keep it up!

[@Nithyist]

You are an inspiration for me.... I'm finding myself turning towards Landscape photography, what you said is correct its not about making the best photo in the world, its about making an image that gives the feeling of being in that place...

[@dennerova8474]

Awesome!

[@coolranchdorito86]

Cheers from Germany. Your videos and your landscape compositions are inspiring.

[@DistemperpK]

Thanks for sharing Thomas! Your content is really mind-refreshing and unique

[@Luigi13]

Good job Thomas. I enjoy seeing your narration and images of places you travel. You have a very good and calm attitude finding your places and making the most of it. Keep more videos in the pipeline, I look forward to see them here on You-tube.

[@1964photo]

great job as usual and very helpful.

[@sausagesandwichSA]

Another great video...Thanks

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Nice! very nice..., Thank you ever much! Thomas..., 👍

[@alastairmoore826]

Another great video!

[@ThePoacher1969]

[@Jakeu1701]

some of the views behind you at ~8min to 8:20min in are amazing. leading lines created by the fog. definitely hitting the lake district when I get back to the UK.

[@ronnyolsson2802]

Great video Thomas !

[@Goodlifexplorers]

You have an amazing eye! Lovely landscape all around!

[@GwersyllaCnau]

Thanks for sharing and I really like your photography.

[@TomGrubbe]

What a great location. It's great to hear your thought process as you hunt for comps! Your first and last images were the best IMHO.

[@allandavies1187]

As always, love your outings. I have walked 20 Long Distance Footpaths but now because of health reasons I am unable to continue. But its marvellous to see you doing the hills and getting those amazing images...

[@Dmsstudios64]

[@MrAnon-2024]

Another great video and I think you succeeded in your goals. I particularly loved the B&W images. I've walked that route myself and will have to revisit soon.

[@bgr20]

Inspiring and very different to other photography channels on here. Thank you!

[@tureyyen]

"I'm not going for the prettiest/best image in the world, I just want to create a feeling of what it's like to be here now." That's exactly why I love watching your videos. "Absolutely stunning" :)

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's very kind, thank you!

[@murraystaff568]

Great inspiration as always!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+moo bear Thanks :)

I've never been to lake district but I walk on dartmoor a lot, I find watching your vlog very therapeutic and I learn a thing or two on the way, so thank you for that :)

[@Xephoze]

Love watching your videos! Such a great source of inspiration! I would Love to see more of your photographs on instagram! Thanks again for a great video! Keep it up!

[@peteskyrunner4845]

'Let's see if we can get this before the cloud comes back.................nope! :-) Haha. Your positivity is amazing, but it's great that you include the photography fails too. Real life can't be hung on the wall.

[@kaisokaptain]

Me. Heaton, I love your work. You should come to the Caribbean one day. Regards,

[@Sussxguy]

Cracking final shot T, keep up the great vids! Happy New Year to you

[@ibrahimfetic9940]

Nice video and pictures

[@scottkeenleyside1570]

Nice work Thomas, need to do this hike in the near future, seems a beautiful place to shoot!

[@CookedLight]

Brilliant...my favourite vlog of yours. At 8:40 I thought you had a Brocken Spectre! The narrow path at the bottom of the hill is just like CAD West in Wales. I am about to start bagging all the munros - on film, not necessarily on foot 😂 and this video has been a huge help, cheers.

[@broncojonnes]

Top man!

[@baileyhoward9687]

You are a big inspiration to me because I really want to going hiking just me and my camera and take some awesome photos. I’m only 14 so I hope I can get there

[@ponder2006]

Amazing, glad I found your channel. Keep Going!

[@minsyoo]

Great video and wonderful images as always, thank you! If you ever find yourself stateside again, you should consider the Pacific Northwest, a lot of great mountains, lakes, waterfalls, etc.

[@djoliver-k]

great Video

[@ryanedgarbutler5121]

Thomas, this is a fantastic video. You should consider a trip to British Columbia.

[@girliedog]

Thank you for another delightful video. I love how you organize your timeline & your approach to landscape photography. Capturing the feeling of a place, very inspiring. BTW my favorite landscape lens is a Zeis 21 mm.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+Virginia Hoffman Thanks for your comment, it's greatly appreciated and yes, the Zeiss is a fantastic lens!

[@willlord3616]

You're like a photographer Bear Grylls. Awesome videos man.

[@nikolatotev]

Great video ! As an aspiring photographer I find there videos really motivating. Keep up the great work :D

[@charithcr9photography247]

hey mate love your work .... keep up and good luck always :-)

[@medvik7407]

Hi Thomas! This is the first time I actually bother to subscribe to an account, but, seeing the quality, passion and beauty of your uploads and how much i enjoy your videos, it seemed like the thing to do. Well anyways, your videos really make me want to grab my camera and leave my home more often, so thank you for that!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

+Med Vik Hey, thanks for watching and thank you for the Subscibe. Much appreciated.

[@Cumbriahandyman]

Tried Sharp Edge many years ago when a lot younger. Had to turn back as Mountain Rescue helped by a Sea King were in the process of recovering a body and helping a couple who had become cragfast in the gully. Never went back.

[@Bloggerky]

Well done! I'm subscribing.

[@Mieselwissel]

I found out that in most of your videos(vlogs) that there was very nice composition of landscape. Hence from next time before moving further, just turned around and see the nature's drama! As always your videos👌🏻

[@Andyb2379]

First of all your very brave going up there alone in this wintery weather. Secondly the shoots you took are amazing. You certainly captured the atmosphere with such depth & beauty! Thanks for taking me along on you latest adventure. Happy New Year!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thank you and thanks for your comment. The conditions were fine to venture out alone, but in more adverse weather I usually go out with friends. Unfortunately this means I don't get much photography done.

[@davidpatten4466]

+Thomas Heaton On your own is definitely the way to go, i always feel guilty if I'm with my gf and she's stood about freezing while I'm all excited. Great video and lovely location its definitely on my list, bit of a trek from portsmouth though!
