Photographing Afternoon Light & Morning Mist

I am happy to be back home in the UK and enjoying some landscape photography in autumn, one of the best times of the year for photography. In this video I photograph the lake district national park and experience beautiful afternoon light and morning mist. Enjoy.

#LandscapePhotography #LakeDistrict #Autumn

[@scotty4418]

No matter where in the world you travel there is something about seeing you in the Lake District that brings a feeling of calmness and serenity back in perhaps a spiritual location

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

you said it Scotty i felt the same way, nice and calm

[@rolo_061]

Lake District is one of the best places for me. There is something about its beauty which cannot be described and compared with other locations around the globe.

[@StarScaperPhoto]

After quite a lot of (stunning) "far from home" adventures it is really inspiring to watch a close to home photography experience again. I often struggle with inspiration after coming back from a trip to a great location. Watching this video just reminds me what it's all about: just relaxt, enjoy and keep it simple. If you've got nothing today, don't worry about it because you can just go back in a couple of days if you want. That's what makes shooting local a unique experience compared to those "once in a lifetime" locations. Thanks for the reminder!

[@DanMarkland]

Hi Thomas, It's this type of video from you that got me hooked on Landscape photography specifically and getting back outdoors in general. Effortlessly inspirational. I do appreciate the content you provide from your workshops etc and fully understand that's where you make your a big part of your living but this is quality content and you do it so well. Maybe it's that they seem more relateable for people like myself. Showing us what you see in places we can easily go, inspires us to look at the scenery in different ways and seek out the 'non glaringly obvious compositions'. Whatever it is, this content is what I followed and continue to follow you for. Long may it continue, don't burn yourself out and thanks.

[@anildamodaran]

You just said everything I wanted to say!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks Daniel. I love this content too. Close to home, peaceful and carefree. Please don't leave me when I go to Iceland in a couple of weeks 😣

[@DanMarkland]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I'm not going anywhere! All your content is great and I look forward to each upload regardless! This type just strikes a more familiar chord with me.

[@dalerobinson8456]

Very calming video, I love foggy mornings. I am very much looking forward to your seminars this weekend in Manassas. Safe travels.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Lovely set of photographs.

[@oisinholz]

That second photo was great! I really think the couple of birds added that little cherry on top too as a bird lover :D

[@wcareyphoto]

I loved that frost on the walkway! The patterns were amazing! Great video, Thomas!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Although it's amazing that you get to travel the world and spend time in some incredible locations, your UK videos and images are always the best. Phenomenal images in this video! We live in such a diverse and awesome country for landscape photography.

[@OlDoinyo]

Fog is wonderful for simplifying backgrounds and giving depth. Nice catch with the two birds in the one image.

[@kingkenny2635]

Beautiful vlog Thomas. Atmospheric definitely and as always you seem to no how to capture the magic perfectly. ❤️📸

[@praxisbeweggrund7778]

those are the kind of videos that draw me to your channel! how you look at the scenes and the simplicity behind your images is truly inspiring, and i love the way you don´t overprocess your pictures. chapeau!

[@robertblesse5108]

Thanks, Tom, for the lovely morning!

[@MrPhotog4u]

Beautiful location, just being outdoors and enjoying the fresh air and views are amazing. Capturing a great image is a bonus, it’s definitely a great office for the day atmosphere. Thanks for sharing.

[@razrutton8956]

Hey Thomas. I have been watching your videos for a little while now and I have to say I have learned a lot from following your journeys. Thank you and looking forward to see more of your adventures! Truly inspiring.

[@008nigel]

They well may be my favourite images on one of your videos. Made me think about the different ways of looking at the landscape and realising it doesn't have to be wide angle just because it's landscape. And best of all, makes me want to get out there!

[@jingchaoyang3900]

So peaceful, love it. I guess one of the reasons I’m into photography is because I can enjoy my alone time

[@darioiacopi6369]

I like this kind of videos taking "simple" photographs ... sit down watching them in the evening and relax

[@heyalexjota]

I love those calm and simple pictures, Thomas. It takes me back to UK and makes me feel so relaxed. :)

[@peetje28021970]

Sometimes it’s just about being out, away from daily life. Loved the second picture.

[@janosaldroun6560]

Look how beautiful this is, I know there’s an image here. That’s my inner thought when I see beauty but I can’t see a good image in my minds eye. Glad to see that I’m not alone.

[@AntonioAleo]

One of my your favorite video. Lovely images and mood

[@genzhang7879]

Feel so peaceful and relax watching your video. Thank you

[@envy5282]

A notification from Thomas is always refreshing and inspiring ❤️. The dream is to inspire someone one day, just like you inspire us to go out there and explore the lights!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

I have just said the same thing, TH really does inspire so many, even to the extent with me i started vlogging haha

[@FabrizioZago]

I was also out some weeks ago for an early morning photo session with dead trees and the first light. Autumn is amazing! You took a very nice and calm serie of photo, I like them all.

[@alleyeson2594]

When I feel like giving up, your videos inspire me. Thank you.

[@davidbruceod]

I'm going to pile on...love seeing you work in the UK and your work from the UK. Not that it's better than your travel work, just something refreshing about it.

[@andychattaway5620]

Lovely, just lovely.

[@Distinctly.Average]

Please do more videos like this one. Really enjoyed watching this. Plenty of advice, great pace and beautifully done.

[@gurunath1710]

Excellent stuff as always Thomas. What a wonderful atmosphere. Well done picking up that last composition. Completely adored the minimalistic shot of dead trees with mist.

[@roverlandertn]

This is probably one of my favorite videos to date. Great Job Tom.

[@eiricnorstrom-johnsen9662]

Love the image at 7:56, everything just seems so mystic and full of atmosphere.

[@JamesLanePhoto]

I love the videos you shoot in the UK. Especially Autumn/Winter. I have read a lot of the comments and they say the same. I think I've figured out why these are so popular. Those of us who go out and take photos often do it alone and watching you do it makes us feel... not alone. Combining this feeling with the familiar, serene music you choose for these videos generates a sense of nostalgia. Today I returned from a 4 day trip to the Lakes, on my own, with the sole intention of shooting landscapes. Knowing that you, and others like you, are out there too makes the loneliness go away. Cheers man. Don't stop! I would never have been there this week if it wasn't for your videos.

[@StarScaperPhoto]

So true!

[@stevehubbard8459]

Back to what you do best, Thomas. Great stuff.

[@andrewherbert9938]

Great video Thomas , I was in exactly the same location yesterday, stunning place but no mist , didn’t get my arse out of bed early enough. Top images as usual

[@robinpage9532]

Oh Thomas, you closed the gate on a beautiful prospective image, cows, mist, trees and hills.

[@cgriggsiv]

I got the chance to watch your video beautiful pictures by the way excellent review on how you did things between the croppings from 1 to 1 and so on again outstanding photography

[@ReubenClarke]

I really love your videos when you're back home - not that I don't love your travel ones - but these have been sorely missed!

[@astro_josh]

Ya it's really inspiring seeing beautiful photos being taken without needing to go to crazy locations!

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

Great video, i Always love your images.😍 Thank!

[@allanmarshall4582]

I couldn't agree more, so lovely to get away in nature this time of year. Lake District can't be bad. You had some nice Autumn weather too for the Lake District.

[@mikemitchell3889]

Tom, Simple is complicated while shooting in the woods. Nice choice of "eye candy." Thank-You, Mike

[@Uncerten]

Your images are timeless.

[@terrywbreedlove]

Beautiful Tom thank you for sharing.

[@kenrees8726]

I look forward to you video every week they are absolutely brilliant and your images are stunning

[@peterpatenaude6684]

The burnt red of those dead ferns against the poplar trees- wonderful colors and wonderful video on this rainy day.

[@pfahan]

Beautiful video. I love what you always say - that landscape photography (and photography in general) is the best way to get out into nature and experience the beauty that is all around us. Your channel is my favorite just because of how calm and relaxed your process is. Just enjoy nature all around you and the images will come. Just ordered your calendar and already can’t wait to hang it up for some motivation to get out there for some photography!

[@RachelLerch]

Hey Tom... thanks for linking to mine and Paul Compton ‘s morning mist challenge :) I’m hoping to be heading to the UK Lake District soon... beautiful location you guys have and hoping to meet the group of youtubers I’ve been working with. Then to the Rocky Mountains and maybe running an Iceland workshop later on. Great vid as usual! 👍

[@paulmoores65]

I admire your patience in searching out that perfect shot. I would have taken 100+ shots in that time.

[@jennifersayers8041]

Great video Thomas, good to see you back. Looking forward to the next episode

[@FadiHage]

very calming to watch, wish i was there. Great video Thomas, thanks for sharing

[@miketrebert7788]

Lovely. Travel the world and beauty always waits at home.

[@MarkMcNeill22]

the lake district the gift that keeps giving amazing photography tom

[@2212ajit]

Very peaceful video with so calming pictures.. Loved the second picture out of the 3

[@petroverba6054]

Thanks a lot for this video! Thanks for sharing this feelings of piece and quiet of nature, of calm frosty autumn morning. It so important to feel the nature to be able to photograph it. Your video helps to keep this relation while I don't have chance to be at nature. And also it's a great opportunity to see places which are hard to visit for me.

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

Oh the birds in the misty trees! Beautiful Thomas! How I love mist. No better tool for photography. Almost 300K now, well done and deserved!

[@mere_mort4l]

Thank you for another great video Thomas. Seeing you walk nonchalantly through the brush like that makes me wonder if you are not as concerned about ticks in the UK as we are in Canada, I'd be very leery about doing that here.

[@5ThingsI]

Have to agree with some other comments, love the videos from your travels, but there is something about the closer to home videos I really enjoy - would love to see another east coast seascape

[@brettbarclay1803]

Love your videos Mr. Heaton. Always a huge inspiration. We just got back from Iceland, went to a few locations that inspired me from your videos. We got some amazing shots and saw some beautiful landscapes. Definitely photography overload.

[@gavinperry]

Love your travel expeditions, but when you shoot in the UK and it is just you and the camera it is just fabulous!

[@brandonrosburg5701]

Ahh...refreshing and much needed. Thank you for what you do, sharing it with us and your inspiration.

[@ScoTreVan]

Sheer bliss by the looks of it Tom, thanks

[@tonyturner7676]

Great video, Thomas. Lovely images and the information and advice you share is so much appreciated.

[@THEILLUMINATIONOFLOVE]

Alright Mr. Thomas, you made me had to comment to you on this video. You are doing a very good job. Remember that we are all one and we are part of nature. There are times that it will be very productive, abundance, massive action and so on. And there will be times that we must return in the zone of patience, which is the balance. Stay in the present moment as much as possible and focus on the good things around you. Remember, “little is more”. May you receive abundant love, joy, happiness and blessings. Take good care 😌

[@PIXEL00000]

Soothing vids and background music as always.. Cheers Thomo

[@balancedaudio]

Tom at his best. I needed that, thanks 😑

[@Dyeheartxfire]

for some reason i think this is my favorite video so far from you.

[@CiaranWhelan]

How cool is that. Someone left a tripod for you adt the gate. Lucky bugger.

[@gaoyangganjin7471]

Another Amazing Vid Thomas!! Especially love the second one!! Can't wait to see you in Nature's VIsion!! Cheers

[@fingerstylefan]

Really like the whole feel of this one Tom. Beautiful images.

[@mudguyRC]

This channel is wonderful with Bilbo leading the way to better landscape photography

[@weschilton]

So peaceful... I love fall.

[@VaguelyEdible]

I've always found the images that have stuck with me are the simple ones, absolutely stunning photos Tom :)

[@brentjones571]

There's no place like home Thomas , beautiful video.

[@tegser]

We’ve waited a while for a video like this Thomas..simple laid back photography 👌🏼

[@leolaf6501]

Your Channel grows extremly fast, i look your vids since you had about 50.000

[@mtns3671]

This is the Thomas video I like, got-beautiful-images-showed-them-in-video, instead of need-a-video-so-take-some-images.

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

Oh my god is really really nice photos heaton congratulations 👏👏👏👏

[@anildamodaran]

Thomas, These are the best kind of videos!

[@ThrowerofSticks]

9:30 - The difference between seeing and looking. Great photos come from looking at the world around us.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Hi Mr H... great to see you back at home, i would just like to say a big thank you for the recommended watch on your end card, its great to think you may actually watch some of us newer vloggers, as you may of noticed i am very different in my approach to it all totally unscripted and spontaneous.. I have watched you from the start and been to two of your talks now, your a massive inspiration to so many photographers all over the world and a genuine nice bloke... Thanks Again

[@boxiedog]

Hi Thomas. Could you let us know where this was filmed please? I'd be happy just with a shot of the gated bridge. Quite liked the b roll angle. Thanks for all your your hard work btw.

[@johnsholian4318]

Simply superb images and video. Welcome home. Cheers!

[@eltinjones4542]

Nice and tranquil Thomas 👌

[@nickmortimer8938]

Welcome home!

[@michaeljacobs472]

Wonderful video as always Thomas.

[@toureiro]

Oh I've missed these kind of videos!

[@kiwiandyt123]

Beautiful video as always! Interesting how at the 7:00 minute segment you chose the close crop of the 3 trees and not the panoramic “trees, reflection, mist and golden fell” version that was what I thought you’d found at first. Not doubting your judgment of course, you have an amazing eye for the captivating image in the details of the scene!

[@Spagettiz]

Beautiful!

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

You know, I'd have been very jealous of this video if I hadn't been out this afternoon myself taking pictures on Bodmin moor finding a fortuitous rainbow to add drama, but yet grateful to be out there in the crisp autumn light, then trudging back to my car and seeing the local farmer preparing to shepherd his ship into the back of his van. Great isn't it.

[@chandraroy6489]

Would you mind making a few more videos capturing autumnal colour on your treks please? Would love to see you presenting more moody productions now that we approach Winter.

[@Topsyrm]

Welcome back Tom it seems like ages since you posted one of your "old style" videos.

[@michaelgoodwin4480]

Hey Thomas, I love how you make videos about going out with an area in mind, but you’ve got to explore to find a good composition. In this video you mention frustration over having a beautiful scene but that you struggle to find a composition. Do you think you’d be able capture that thought process somehow? Maybe show potential compositions that you reject and why? Thanks!

[@Biscuit761YT]

Love that second image Thomas

[@fantomfoto]

Great vid Thomas! Curious to know how the new tripod is holding up now that you've been on a few shoots with it. Does it still seem like a quality product? Maybe a follow up gear video about it in a few months?

[@paulwayman5137]

I was wondering why you weren't shooting those trees in the mist (5.35), then i saw the lake view and thought, why aren't you shooting a bit wider. (Although i still loved the image you took) Amazing how we all see a scene so differently.

[@fredrikwardhoff]

stunning morning 👌

[@margaretstapper6907]

Thomas, this is magic, and so is the music. Can you give me details of the music?

[@jonathant3694]

Great video, I like how you mention hiw the shot was taken. I.e. f-stop, timer ECT. Very helpul for someone like me, who is just starting out and inspire to reach your level some day.

[@HusheinBey]

I really apreciate your job, it's fascinating and giving me inspiration, after watching your video i feel more positive so thank you ;)

[@AdhishMajumdar]

Excellent video, as always! I love the "keep it simple" principle too and try to do that in my own photography as well. I was wondering as I was watching this video if it ever happened to you that you were busy explaining your composition to the video camera while the light changed or the mist faded and you missed the shot? Just curious...

[@galaxydreaming]

Is it weird that I want a video on how you make /film your videos. You have so many different POV shots that I wonder if you have a very quiet cameraman with you 😂

[@pawefiett2468]

So today you got an answer to your question. Check newest video :)

[@galaxydreaming]

Yeah the last one before today’s one he explained how much work goes in. Defo Will watch today’s release too tho
