Sunrise Landscape Photography Shoot in the Welsh Mountains

I set off in the darkness of early morning for a hike up one of the most impressive mountains in Wales: Glyder Fach. Landscape photography will drive us to do the most wonderful things and this is a great example.

I'm a few days late to the comments on this video (been away) and reading though them now. Thanks for the constant support 👍👍

[@Mel-95]

Your filmmaking is now as good as the still photography. Knowing you had to place the video camera and then retrieve it to get these shots makes it all the more rewarding to see the footage. And the drone shots are nuts! It's a pleasure to go on these journeys with you.

[@thekylehampton]

The Simba B-Roll may be your best work of all time.

[@glenmilligan8387]

The B&W cloud layer shot is FANTASTIC!!

[@lindabarr7246]

I watch for the epic photography but the b roll in this video was out of this world.

[@CelsoMollo]

The layers pictures, colour all the way baby! Way better than the B&w even without much clouds in the sky

[@extremelydave]

The photo of the misty layers for me was the money shot. Really a nice image. A " hang on the wall" photo indeed.

[@christianwetzel1862]

I actually like the snow in the first picture, it's far from distracting and gives a nice hint about season and height.

[@srodigital]

Hell Thomas, you, Adam and Gavin are like mountain goats...some of the places you hike to, and video yourselves while your doing it, and then go back over to collect the 'B' Camera. True dedication to your craft...and your job. Take care and stay safe. Looking forward to the next great video.

[@michaelgoulding4425]

Beautiful stuff, that coloured layers shot was gorgeous, the mountains looked almost transparent. Must be some sense of satisfaction to get conditions like that after hiking through the dark, great stuff

[@Indrakusuma_a]

1:50 Well that scene was amazing! I don't think anyone could resist not taking a b-roll there. Loving both BW shots here.

[@johnobrien4318]

My Happy Place - Watching Tom's videos.. thanks, much appreciated.

[@badger67]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You're making me homesick young Heaton, more so than ever. Simply glorious. Glider Vac? Sorry, I couldn't resist ;-p

[@chilecayenne]

OH, my vote on the "Layered" mountain show...definitely the Black and White version!!

[@cgan2013]

That first image you debated with the snow…I like the inclusion of the snow because it tells the story of it being the cold of winter. Without it, it could have been any season. Great video again!! Beautiful location…and those peaks - 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@kqschwarz]

The drone shot of you on the mountain top is INCREDIBLE. The jagged rocks photo looks like an Ansel Adams or Edward Weston. My favorite was the B&W shot of the clouds. Fantastic. Thank you.

[@zmorton]

The black and white hills one got an audible “whoa” from me. That one is great!

[@lorenzomariacaminada4348]

The first black and white picture is fantastic!

[@JasonLorette]

Wicked good morning, precariously perched indeed! 😎👍🏻

[@stoettingerphoto]

Great video Thomas! I personally prefere the colored version of the "layer" shot, looks just perfect to me

[@PierrePRESTAT]

Yeah, me too : these colors are why you got out this morning out of your comfort zone

[@icyearth]

I was thinking I really wanted to see the coloured version and then you showed that too. Definitely prefer the colored one. Simply beautiful

[@kophotograph1803]

7:28 absolutely love that image. Makes me want to hike up a mountain in the early morning and take such an image too. Great Video!

[@kthschsslr]

with a 6x17 fuji !!

[@Winston-1984]

I didn't expect it to look so beautiful in colour.

[@PaulEvans]

@@Winston-1984 I really loved the colour version as well.

[@brenteanes845]

Between the color and monochrome image looking toward the sun, I really loved both while the monochrome is my favorite. Nice Images, journey, etc.

[@theependleton]

I absolutely love the “layers” photograph. It would work perfectly framed on a wall with the minimalist image you took previously with your film pano camera of the beach and the distant island. Your use of negative space is so good and makes for truly captivating images that draws the eye in and simply won’t let it go. Fantastic

[@mitzimckay7934]

Gorgeous! Even the B roll of you up on that floating rock ledge!

[@GodIsReal]

Goodness, what a wonderful video Thomas! And such a great idea to show all images again at the end. So beautiful... thanks!

[@boristrouserkov]

B&W layers - wow! I’d be delighted with that

[@angiecowell5619]

Honestly Thomas, your videos are incredible. Thank you for continually putting out such beautiful content.

[@Peter_Reed_Photography]

Loved the monochrome layers image. Great that you showed the route you took as well, always useful information to have.

[@neilattuk]

Quite liked the snow in the foreground on the first photo.

[@michaelparrott7983]

Beautiful photographs Thomas. Love Tryfan. When you drive up from the south on the A5 it's the first "real" mountain you see and whenever I go up there Tryfan welcomes me to Snowdonia and sends a shudder down my spine.

[@RFGfotografie]

I LOVE sunrise and sunset photography, I do it often/it's my favorite thing to do and where I am best at :) The calmness, the scenery, the colours and so on. I LOVE IT. I do most often use the whitebalance setting that goes to 7500. Then the sunset/sunrise colours get so much more visable. Maybe not the best way to do it but oh well... Yet another spot to photograph this video gives me. Awesome yet again.

[@MehdiMirian]

Photo 1 is spectacular. What an amazing location!

[@AntmystaTV]

On the 1st image, the snow was not that distracting at all. Beautiful shot!

[@frederickmcdonald6636]

Thomas Heaton - OMG! Those two images with the fog in the mountains are just spectacular; probably the best I've ever seen of any landscape photographer - ever! Thank you for sharing your journey, take care and be safe out there....

[@AndyBanner]

The layers. Oh, Man, in mono, awesome.

[@garyverstick1620]

Wow, the coloured layers is stunning!

[@brianmckeever5280]

Those are excellent images! I love the gratuitous b-roll on the rock. More please.

[@brucedelorme5026]

Thomas, awesome adventure and some very beautiful shots. Thank you.

[@timhansen778]

You are really at the top of your game Tom. Stunning photos again.

[@nb7524]

Both the B&W and color shots are fantastic. Also, that B-roll is awesome! 😁

[@nigelwest3430]

Love the Layers shot, The Colour version is the best by miles

[@ronanderson9960]

Wow! Thomas those were some spectacular photos! Very. Nice! Great video!

[@andyjamesmciver]

Black and white version of the layered image for me... just too good!

[@gotophotoarchive9131]

B-Roll scene was epic...

[@BookofIan]

Love the little intermission to apologize for that epic b-roll shot in the beginning. No need to apologize at all though, good sir! 😂

[@alevans1168]

The scramble is Bristly ridge for anyone interested, its a great route! Your second pronunciation of Glyder Fach was right. Also if you ever want to climb Tryfan let me know, some great multi pitch routes up there. Have done most of the classics at least once and some twice. Great shots as always, think I preferred the b&w layers. Next time you are in Ogwen for a sunrise shoot, I recommend going up Y Garn, offers incredible views of the valley and there's lots of compositions there.

[@lousmaczylo7281]

Welcome back! You've got you're mojo back.

[@lauragonzales-lgphotograph1004]

I really like the patchy snow in the foreground. It makes you feel the elevation of where you are. Excellent!! Love your videos!

[@Chrisb8s]

I learn so much from these videos. Love them.

[@dilus13]

Beautiful images once again Thomas, the layered image was stunningly gorgeous in it’s simplicity and although I’m a sucker for B&W it worked just as good in colour. I would happily trek 3 hours for that shot alone 👌

[@MatthiesWesche]

You really have an on-point schedule when it comes to releasing your videos! Just dropped out of the shower post work: Notification about a new video. I shall now watch and enjoy it.

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

That was one of the happiest videos you've shared recently, borne out by the stunning photos. Preferred the B&W layers to the colour one myself, and the B-roll at 2:00 reminded me of "Earthquake Weather."

[@jimmyhaha514]

Wow fantastic stuff 1st class pics keep the good pics coming📷📸

[@rogerwilliams7234]

Thanks, Thomas. A wonderful episode.

[@jerryhutchinson2543]

Wow! Layers at 7:20 - 7:30. Absolutely love it!

[@laurelb8372]

Love the layers in colour

[@CluelessYoutuber]

That 2nd image at 6:35 is just amazing. 😍 beautiful video and thanks for sharing the experience

[@bbrown6574]

Stunning images, the layered peaks just so nuanced. Take care.

[@KyleMcDougall]

Nice one, Thomas! Great images as well. I was actually just eyeballing this route the other day. The last time I was up I took the Devils Kitchen route, but this looks a little more direct. I also couldn't see a thing, hah! Looks amazing up there. I think I'll try this route next time.

[@cathalgibbons8634]

looked like a nice morning for you. great images and video. Great work. Thank you

[@KevinFuller]

B & W on the layered photo is excellent.

[@TakeATripTogether]

Thanks for showing both the black and white and the color photos back to back. I often wonder what the color version looks like when you convert it to B&W so it was great to see both. With that particular composition, I actually liked both versions for different reasons. Beautiful location!!!

[@asha5928]

Kind of like the color version of that photo better. Anxious to see what you photographed during Eunice!!!

[@clicktoart]

Absolutely beautiful layers photo Thomas!

[@laszloilles5485]

I really do like Your videos but this one was the most amazing for me! Fantastic landscape! You really documented it on the very best way! THX a lot for showing this video!

[@Suhailkhan53]

Enchanting pictures.

[@allansisson355]

I laughed when you said no reason to be up here but B roll. Beautiful images, you do make it difficult to choose which one.

[@Zanagash]

AMAZING Video !! The color layers shot is great ! It is worth it to wake up early !

[@TheJoshuaPeg]

Dod nôl i weld ni’n fuan! (Translation: Come back to see us soon 😁)

[@jeffschreifels8651]

That part starting around 1:52 immediately made me think of that cliff hanger game on 'The Price is Right'. Too bad you weren't yodeling. 🤣

[@TheycallmeWade]

HAHAHA I love the little chats during B Roll I would of gone up there as well. great shots how nice is a simple shot of layers

[@torbjrnjohnsen4065]

The black and white version! 👍

[@andrewiverach659]

Camera insurance heaven that location.

[@MichaelShainblum]

Really lovely work as always Thomas!

[@thehowlingterror]

Happy to see you sharing the route. Enjoyed the vid...Ta

[@andrewknowles6731]

Fabulous.

[@LOSTTIMEBANDIT]

That was one of your best videos imo. What a trip my dude!

[@norskattforfun8575]

Great video and definitely the coloured layers shot

[@kenyonshaunte]

That drone shot with you on top of the scramble... Took my breath away. Keep being my photography inspiration please.

[@Imakeener]

😆 Love the B-roll at 1:52, made even better by your commentary!! Brilliant! 😂 IMHO I reckon the snow in the foreground of shot 1 makes it a better, more interesting foreground.

[@0191Marko]

Yup, the layers shot, that’s the one that tickles me pickle 😁.

[@OlegAlferev]

Amazing! Thank you for this journey!

[@burrdaddy]

Wonderful adventure and video. Well done. Thanks!

[@madsnylarsen]

Love that B-roll joke :D, smashing humor sir ;).

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

beautiful images! thanks for sharing again.

[@paulus0109]

Great work Thomas. Thnx

[@elusivelens1744]

7:30 Even with "nothing going in the sky," that second color shot seems to have much better gradient transition than b&w. The drone footage, also, puts things in perspective.

[@rowanobrien4027]

I just wanted to say thanks for making these videos, they are truly inspiring and always give me food for thought in my own work

[@cgriggsiv]

Another awesome video my good man Definitely love those jagged treacherous climbs just to get those photographs of epic proportions

[@worldofrandometry6912]

The layers shots are lovely.

[@danncorbit3623]

Fantastic images.

[@asha5928]

Beautiful photos.

[@user-tr7bn9rg7m]

Beautiful. Next level Thomas.

[@chrisparker5684]

Great video - thanks for posting!

[@clivewoolley4492]

Fantastic photos Thomas.

[@TonyNeat]

Some keepers in there Mr Heaton

[@markattardo]

Incredible morning! Enjoyed the video as well as the images. Nice hero clip too.😂

[@Ruscombephotos]

Tom, thanks for this great video. I hope to get there one day. The colour version of the layers was slightly reminiscent of large dunes in a desert. Magnificent!

[@madebyPure]

Wow the layer shot is incredible!
