Photography in the Woods | Autumn Colour

[@GreenRC24]

Thomas, you are the most calm and relaxed guy I have ever come across. Nature has been very kind to your soul.

[@Foss1986]

Its incredible how much effort you put into filming, setting up the shots of yourself and in the edit. I think in a way thats as impressive as the photography.

[@markattardo]

I love visiting theses awesome areas. Pictures are a bonus.

[@davidv6803]

I love how complete your videos are. So many great cuts and amazing b-roll. Awesome.

[@Crux93]

These videos are so well made! So calm and such an inspiration, almost meditation!

[@chrisborgmotorhome]

Love the silent introduction, the drone shot and the yellow trees. You are a amazing storyteller.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.

[@lenividivici9123]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Seriously, though, I'm not that much into landscape photography and as a new year's resolution I want to get less input on gear, composition, editing, you name it, to challenge myself come up with things, but I still like watching all of your videos because the way you describe a scene or picture, even before showing the final shot, is so incredibly mesmerizing. I don't know any other KZbinr that can paint with words like you do, it's definitely your unique selling point.

[@akashdeeppuri4344]

You know it is almost 3 years or long since i have been watching your video and all i can say is that, i feel can your videos . Even with my eyes closed i can see what you are doing in your video. And that's what makes you what you are. Thanks for being a KZbinr and a photographer at the same time.

[@allansisson355]

Love the fact a Small tree can have a Huge presence.

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

Your photography of trees makes me think about parallels in bonsai. Colour, movement, choosing the best 'front', considering negative space. Love the content as always.

[@Evan3783]

It’s very peaceful

[@jamesjohnston6765]

I have to say that I am enjoying this very quiet technique of vlogging. I really feel like I am there with you, in the moment. That is minus the rain, wind, snow, and cold of course.

[@alexraynor1644]

Been watching you videos for a long time and I have to say they are better than ever.

[@juanarroyo5324]

STUNNING SHOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesattenborough2597]

Very nice, calm and considered video and photography Thank you Tom

[@chuckthurmond]

The thumbnail preview image for this video in my feed gives the appearance of flames coming from your camera lens! How could I not watch it. No flames but gorgeous foliage. Wonderful video. Thank you.

[@ciprynus]

Great video. The first 3 minutes are awesome, the silence, the sounds, the preparation. Well done!

[@PamelaMarshall]

Probably my favourite location in Scotland. Just feels like home. It’s magic. Big fan of the yellow trees as well.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

A video of nuances. Love the little details that make the bigger picture. Thanks Tom, loved it!

[@stuartschaffner9744]

I really enjoyed this video. In northern New England in the US, we have larches, a small primitive pine tree that is deciduous. So, in the fall its needles turn yellow before dropping off. I also loved the grasses in the ripply water.

[@FlyFishVideo]

I like the new video format. A nice balance of talking and enjoying the sounds of nature. Some good work on this one.

[@asimeshpal]

Serene n peaceful ! Fantastic fall colours .. Nice video ,, keep inspiring .

[@patrickyott]

I'm loving the ambient sound quality of your new videos.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Alternate opening: "Be vewwy vewwy quiet. I'm hunting ... compositions. Hehehheheh!"

[@gewglesux]

Nice one!

[@Marco030]

So easy. So beautiful.

[@dr.feelicks2051]

The KZbin thumbnail makes your 5D look like, well, a flaming caNNon. Drone work was perfect. Follow the yellow leaf Rd.👍

[@twiztedzero1685]

Oh yay, I'm not the only one that noticed that :D

You continue to just absolutely *crush* your B-roll game. Great job! The production quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better. Honestly, it almost pulls me out of the narrative thread because I know it's just you out there! Thanks for making the effort. I hope it's as rewarding for you as it is entertaining for us!

[@antonoat]

Another yellow tree, who cares, it is a particularly nice tree so I think it's a very worthwhile subject, I would have photographed it too due to the situation. Woodland photography is very good for the soul. Great video Thomas. I've said it before, wellys are a great accessory for the landscape photographer actually many photographers!

[@jdogg402]

The pull away shot from the tree + noise cancelling headphones = wow!

[@reiddickson]

The area with the grasses sticking out of the water already looked like a painting in the video, so it's no surprise that it ~really~ came together in the photo. Had I been in your shoes, I think I would've gone for a second shot with a longer lens having the brightly lit trees in the center-right filling the frame, 'cause they're so damn beautiful. Thanks for another great video!

[@joelspencer900]

I just love the imagery in this one. Great work! Really peaceful!

[@chrishall6364]

Enjoyed the video and looking forward to the next one!

[@cgriggsiv]

Absolutely beautiful woodlands

[@ChrisEdgecombePhoto]

Love the picture with the grass coming up through the water.

[@markhyde1970]

Brilliant. Wilderness camping, sounds wonderful!! Jelous as.

[@robcarr1899]

Thanks Tom. Some lovely scenery.

[@just_eirik]

God I would LOVE pine forests like this! Many small pine forests around here have been cut down because the trees are worth a lot of money. It really make me sad. Some of me favorite photography spots have been destroyed.

[@Giuseppe9486]

Your second image are simply stunnig!!!

[@82300sd]

nice shots Tom, I love the addition of the drone transition at 2:45, especially in the woods

[@jayneodellphoto]

Love these images Thomas, looking forward to next week's video, hopefully you get some snow too!

[@sk8freshcst]

Another great vid. Great shots love the 2nd one!

[@cutthephoto7611]

I've been watching your videos from sometime. I really like them

[@fotofletch]

Really love that image of the grasses in the loch. I think it's one of the best I've seen from you for a while. Just perfect.

[@cameronstoneadams1183]

oh my AMSR. Thanks for the calendar. I like it a lot.

[@J4Photo]

Managed my own little yellow tree a week or so ago. To me, it was a photo that I couldn’t NOT take! Great shot as always.

[@bricksbybrian]

Love the drone pull back shot T-heat.

[@PMCN53]

Another fantastic episode Thomas, lovely image capture in the woodland. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Also, I agree SQUARESPACE do a great job providing the tools to make a website, I love mine! Cheers.

[@raceon4]

This was a great video. I loved how you walked through the process of composing the image. I find that to be extremely helpful.

[@MichaelSteighner]

you are a gift to us all :)

[@desgardner7169]

Silence is golden...

[@Echinacea53]

Liked so much! Liked the whole video! Absolutely gorgeous photos and woods, and you Thomas, perfectly fill this silence of the forests. Just pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for the video and wish you good luck!

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Thomas, I follow about 60 landscape vloggers but your's is my first go - to! I also learned one or two new things from you on this occasion, so that's a win-win! I also think it is time for another review of your campervan. What and how many changes/improvements have you made since purchasing your van from the workshop. And... if there was anything else on your wish list what else would you add to the van for the benefit of the traveling Landscape Photographer. Thank you, for sharing your skills with us...

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

Listening and watching you photograph the tree... seems like a scientific process. Every aspect analytically plotted out. I couldn't come up with an image if I did that.

[@Realletsplaygrey]

Your videos always relax me man. Also inspire me to go find the clean and "minimal" image.

[@StarScaperPhoto]

I thoroughly enjoyed this one Thomas. All very relateable / recognizable stuff. Looking forward to you camping adventure in the next video!

[@TravisToanHa]

Such a long time to see your drone footage again! Love that, please keep it in your every videos

[@brianreid5891]

Only halfway through the video, but im loving it! Great stuff Thomas! Beautiful Broll!

[@NickGranville]

I do love the autumn colours in the UK. Bliss

[@francisschweitzer8431]

Awesome show ....

[@sonofabear]

Wow! the Scotland scenery is so beautiful. Great images, too!

[@davedowe6821]

What a well done video. I stopped and laughed quietly to myself thinking "damn" when the shot of the tree from the drone started pulling back - man, what a close to a great opening sequence and story. So well done, man!

[@chriss2761]

Brilliant video Tom nice calming intro 👍 2 beautiful images also 👌 Hope you managed to find your way out the maze 😉

[@TheMalve70]

This video made my day. Thanks Thomas!

[@Leffe49]

Two very great images. The last one was my absolute favourite! So darn beautiful!

[@anthonyplancherel8274]

Lovely video! Great images too as always!

[@WildPhotoShooter]

At least you can see the wood for the trees. I'd love to see some Scottish mist in amongst those trees and early morning sun rays breaking through.

[@hellobipo]

super relaxing way of making a video :) i like it! And btw awesome shots and colors! Always very interesting, how other photographers work. Cheers! :)

[@stevebennettphotography]

I know you have to mix it up and stuff but it’s been really nice seeing some old school Thomas Heaton style videos. Simple but with high production value, that pull back reveal early on was very slick.

[@chiranjibghorai6950]

I love the fact that you walked around for hours yet didn't find a composition. So relatable!

[@whiteskyphotographics3033]

Hey Thomas, fantastic video as always, and always very inspiring. We stay over in Aberdeenshire on the eastern side of the Cairngorms National park, you are always welcome to stay at ours if you ever travel or have the inkling to come this side to Grampian. As an Astrophotographer the Cairngorms is my playground but at night...which can be fun camping in winter 3000ft up in snow and in -16 degrees. keep up the great videos. Cheers, Simon

[@MeAMuse]

Got to love the Cairngorms! If you can - go to the Cairngorm Hotel - Great place for food and/or pint.

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

Dean we were in Aviemore for 4 nights a week ago and spent all of them at the Cairngorm Hotel - excellent roasts and ales!

[@johnjon1823]

Very good work throughout great images - nice fly-over with the light breaking through. A+ Best wishes!

[@gmantoon]

Stunning photo keep saying am gonna get to Scotland for some photography myself

[@CristanBoerg]

I am not much a fan of the cold time of the year, but anyway, somhow I find myself walking arount the woodland more in this time, than in summer! There is something special about the wood when the winter is coming, which drags me in! Your video very much reminds me of that feeling and that mood! I hope soon, I find time again for a bigger walk in the area, where the trees gather together! ;-) Thanks for that video!

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Only halfway through and loving the video already, must be because you are in Scotland.

[@ignorance_is_strenght]

Creative angles. 👍

[@tuur]

your videos are so wonderful put together and edited that it looks like you have a camera crew with you. It's a joy to watch 😁

[@dansaxton-mccabe6232]

Whilst still retaining your compositional style throughout your time on KZbin, i feel your processing style has evolved so much during that time especially with scenes such as the first shot in this video. That darker processing allowing for more focus on the main subject makes the shot, but I'm not so sure you'd have approached it the same way a couple years ago. I've heard it said before that the style of processing can be affected by a person's mindset/mental/emotional state; so my question is, and this may become an idea for a future video for you, those shots you've taken in the past, however happy you were with them, if you revisit the raw files now, without using the original processed image as reference, would you process them in the same way? Loved this video, and look forward to the next one! 👍 Dan

[@PaulCSmithPhotographer]

Beautiful piece of footage 2:45

[@markhyde1970]

Favourite two evenings of the week Wednesday and Sunday

[@Vfourmike]

Look behind your left ear at 08:56. Nice yellow tree. I sit and wonder if you saw that one ???

Can't wait until this weekend I will be camping at Mohican memorial State Park with very cold temperatures and my cameras in hand

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Whoo Hoo! A great yellow tree. Waa-ta. Not Wa-TER like we say. LOL He's so good at this why not roll with it. And a lucky shot like those reeds in the waata just make easy.

[@FabrizioZago]

Very beautiful photos, I like them all but the real star is the yellow tree in the forest :-)

[@ZeLoShady]

Are you going to go back to Canada this winter for some more shooting? You should explore the woods in northern Ontario, they are beautiful and filled with history from back in the ice age days

[@JamesLanePhoto]

Heaton does ASMR haha. Love it!

[@stevenwilson8718]

With winter coming, could you please give a list of coats, gloves, socks, etc that you use to stay warm on those below zero hikes and shoots?

[@larsm1712]

Beautiful images

[@CalinAndra]

@Thomas, the X-T3 is a fantastic camera, but you should definitely try 14mm f / 2.8 and use Capture One Pro for post processing.

[@bglandscapetours]

Inspirational images man!

[@mikemal48]

Thought you were going to say follow the Yellow........Brick Road!! Hehehe 👍👌👍

[@bradzaruba9686]

You've inspired me to go take a photo of a red maple. No yellow trees where I'm at.

[@AleRodrigues]

When I saw your thumbnail I thought I saw camera/lens spitting fire. Great video !

[@dotbot5789]

Thomas Heaton looks like Domhnall Gleeson and i love it

[@patrick.771]

like your new video style! some weeks ago I waited the whole afternoon for a similar photo of a lake during sunset... and 5 seconds before pressing the shutter the sun disappeared behind a tree on the top of the opposite mountain and never came back. :)

[@lennartphotography]

Thanks for all great videos, sorry to see these industri forest, think that this forest soon will be harvested again, in Sweden we soon only find real old forest in nature reserve, that's so sad. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@Hangs4Fun]

At first glance at this videos thumb nail, I thought you were using a flame thrower, lol. Loved the pacing of this video

[@mahervlogdz7697]

great 😍

[@allanmarshall4582]

Winter camping and snow, let's hope so.
