The code also seems to work for the quarterly subscription as I’ve just used it!😮

I was literally sitting at home looking out the window at the rain when I sat down to watch this. Halfway through I stopped and grabbed the camera and had a fun time shooting while only getting a little wet. Fun times, thanks for the nudge!

[@andrewroland]

The three trees image is excellent, great capture of the rain, very painterly. Just goes to show, there’s no bad time for photography.

[@DunkfaeOotnAbootWiUs]

Great photo of the lighthouse with paddy's milestone in the back 😊

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Fantastic photos in this one, Tom!! Loved the island, but the lone tree in the beginning just topped it for me ;)

[@GxAce]

LOVE the first lone tree image. So good.

[@aramb]

That first photo with the tree really sings for me!

[@MarkBenge]

that shot with the 3 trees , wow, the light catching the rain drops and highlighting the tree trunks , thats magic

[@garretthess4953]

Shot in the rain this past weekend. Rain sometimes brings the best conditions and atmosphere but a lot of people avoid it. I rigged an umbrella to clip into my camera bag strap and it kept me dry, my gear safe, and allowed me to use both of my hands freely. A little improvisation and an open mind led to a whole day of foggy moody woodland photography!

[@Jake-vt4ow]

Yup, in the rain for wildlife,today.

[@calieeldalie2547]

I've got my camera a sort of rain jacket, providing a whole coverage, view in the viewfinder + screen, and inputs for the hands. It works ok. I didn't think of rigging an umbrella on the camera bag or tripod, I will try this one 😉

[@garretthess4953]

@@calieeldalie2547 Yeah it's definitely not perfect but it works lol!

[@CoconutsandCamels]

Reminds me of the saying - "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices."

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Totally agree. I've my waterproofs dialled in, just not for the cameras.

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Nah there's definitely such thing as bad weather. Just got back from Tenerife and fully intend to hibernate this entire winter away indoors 😂

[@enzoguet5690]

Lmao that sounds very british

[@futc.photography]

This is a very german saying 😂

[@lechindianer]

It's a saying? I always imagine it as a Jack Wolfskin ad

[@Dave_Andre]

Tbh, I love rainy landscape photography. I dunno, the depth from the rain and the low clouds, the atmosphere, I love it!

[@ThorstenMerz]

On rainy days a shower cap or two (disposable or otherwise) is a great accessory to carry around in your pocket, especially if you've got your camera on a tripod and it starts chucking down - just whip out the shower cap and quickly cover the camera. 🙂

[@uliphotode]

Great pictures. Some heavy rain hacks fro a sports photographer (scotland approved) >Use the lens hood to shed of some of the rain >Use a trash bag to wrap the camera in if you don't have proper rain covers >carry a small roll of electrical tape to hold the cover in place

[@zsnajorrah]

Oh boy, that final image of the two islands is surreal! In the best possible way, that is. Wow!

[@bianchirider....neverendin8532]

Enjoyable. The chat the cameras the drive the food. Pure entertainment.

[@stuiebnx]

That final image - “it doesn’t look real.” Wow!! Absolutely stunning photograph. 👏🤩

[@danienelphoto]

I love the mood inclement weather brings.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Love the sound of rain pelting down on your van!

[@faraz-i3x]

Speechless at the last image

[@rainerliebrecht4271]

5:55 👌👌👌 probably the best photo you've ever taken!

[@stevesomers7366]

I love that final lighthouse image, Tom! Cheers!

[@MurrayVader-xp8iv]

I like to go out everyday and take pictures of the sunrise. They are always different but weather can be my problem too especially lately since we moved. It has been overcast most mornings. There is usually some color everyday which I do take images of what I can get. I only follow people that talk the art of photography and not gear. Gear it gear and it's what you do with what you have that counts and I've been doing that for 51 years. Really like you video. Photography is art with the eye not the brush.

[@robinchun1]

'Faffery'.. what a great word.

[@brucetreloar3200]

Can't fault your enthusasim. ❤

[@geraintlyons]

I love the shot @7:00. Thee rain makes the shot of those 3 trees!

[@iscoguy]

Love that last image!

[@matthiascolin2764]

The first picture must be one of my all-time favorits- absolutely stunning!

[@andybamforth]

Love the lighthouse image, bang on.

[@scotty4418]

Good example there Thomas is there’s no such thing as bad weather, just a bad attitude when it comes to getting out. As you demonstrated with a positive attitude there was still the potential to capture some great images like the first 2 you shared. Lovely image at the end with Pladda Lighthouse and Ailsa Craig in the background which used to where the granite for curling stones was quarried.

[@DarthGold]

5:55 Absolutely Stunning Tom

[@Pat.Rice73]

Magnifique photo de l'ile avec le phare ! Bravo👋👋👋

[@ashleymorris9603]

Watching your videos always makes me miss home! Great video Thomas

[@steverolfe8742]

The two images you took in the rain are incredible, so atmospheric - Thank you for another great video.

[@victorlim5077]

That image @ 5.50mins. Wow!

[@rafai1281]

The best photography in years. Love the subject and mood.

[@conradpeloquin181]

Great Video. I shoot a lot in the Costa Rica rainforests. Several years ago I got tip from my guide. Buy disposable shower caps. Pop them on the front of your lens. They cost about .06 cents each. Love your chanel!

[@DOM_4GOOD]

18:49 , the island look like floating in the air. very nice shot !

[@josephusewicz5233]

Wonderful Lighthouse Shot!

[@markgubbins1958]

Your dedication in such horrible weather, is why you end up with absolutely stunning images.

[@ROUGHROADPH]

Excellent video Thomas and beautiful images too. From a Bristolian living down-under. 👍

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Thomas, shame about the weather, 5:56 stunning, the weather has created a vignette around the tree, 6:59 the rain has created an interesting effect against the trees, Beautiful light, this is easily the best image of the video, thanks for sharing

[@waileemo6682]

Beautiful picture thank you for your hard work .I love the rain sometimes

[@andypotts8062]

It was definitely worth getting soaked as the first two images are excellent, I especially like the one with the lone tree....and of course the view looking down on the light house with the Ailsa Craig sitting mystical in the background...many thanks

[@gschweiger]

That shot of the trees on the hill in the rain is amazing!

[@namboozleUK]

All great images but that last one is perfection. I've added Arran to my list of places to shoot!

[@docwou]

I really love your photograph of the three trees in the rain. Wonderful!

[@verzivull]

Images in rain are my favorite. Loving it. Thank you Thomas.

[@ogie7488]

Stunning image of the island, beautiful capture..

[@Githwulf]

Hi Thomas, the first image ist absolutely fantastic 😮

[@Avinash-wg7xl]

one of your best video in long time...beautiful photos

[@GediAstro]

KZbin says I only can watch three more videos before the player turns off. Your video - totally worth it :)

[@petemellows]

I love the rain pelting down in front of the three trees. I can feel the weather when I see that image. The others are good too :)

[@Helloworldwrjfjrjrj]

Yes embrace lovely auk weather. PS thats a fraudulent slip I am from Uk living in Australia AUK LOL. Love the channel. Human and shows what most of us men go through at times. In a somber thought 75% of suicides are Men. We need better support and empathy as we carry so Much responsibility.

[@iansnyder3781]

The lighthouse image is incredible 👌

[@The_Cyberz]

Holy shit that lighthouse image is 10/10! It’s just amazing, I can’t describe how it makes me feel but it’s glorious!

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Definitely a nasty day with the rain. You captured some nice image's in the rain and my favourite one was the three trees with the rain coming down. Absolutely great image of the Lighthouse. Hope you enjoyed your curry. Nothing better than a Madras of Vindaloo.

[@jamesmonte9214]

Love the final image Thomas 👍

[@jocooper725]

The rain in the three trees photo looks great

[@theepicbromance3016]

Glad to end work and come home to a new video

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@gruagach1]

Great stuff as always. The island in the bg is Ailsa Craig that's where the curling stones come from.

[@danielhenzphotography]

Conditions like these are great as an adventure and also a great way to improve your compositions with the crutch of great light

[@jmorty52]

You seem to be more energized and/or passionate in this video than you have in past weeks..good video!!

[@DavidSorensenPlus]

I think your channel is like a ministry. In a world of such craziness and evil, it is literally therapeutic to watch a wholesome episode of Tomas Heaton with awesome nature images. Thanks!

[@brianlemke6017]

Terrific inspiring video. The lone tree in the rain, phenomenal.

[@randyschwager2515]

Excellent adventure! Thanks for taking me along!

[@andymcgarty3099]

Stunning image of the island. Great video as always.

[@tompetersphotography]

Loved it bud! That island shot was stunning! Great find

[@paulus0109]

The “rain photo’s” and the lighthousephoto are great work Thomas. Thnx.

[@23432]

As I read a few lines below, I'm sure the umbrella comments go on and on! An umbrella is just one more thing to add to the backpack and if used, is cumbersome. Add some wind and they are impossible/dangerous to use. You seemed to be successful here wiping the lens with a cloth, based on the image you captured! I have had more luck keeping a handfull of disposable rain ponchos. They are very cheap and transparent. With the poncho over the camera and tripod, I can, frame a shot, wait for a cloud to move, then pushing the lens through a sleeve or a hole in the poncho, focus and shoot. I've even used a plastic sandwich bag just to keep the water off the lens glass. How many dry cloths can you carry! The pep talk is apprecidated, but rain + wind can still stop me! "...the wind IS difficult to embrace.."

[@Jake-vt4ow]

Lovely images! Thank you, Thomas!

[@susanfirth2279]

Loved the image of the lighthouse and am pretty sure will be featured in 2025 calendar.

I have to say Thomas, your photos from this trip are my favorite that I've seen in some time. Good work, it seems like you've hit a new stride.

[@anthonyalongi3432]

That last image is stunning. You “need” to offer that on your website. I need that on my house!

[@ketyidody]

wow.. the best images I've seen lately on this channel.. My style of landscape photography. Good job :)

[@nannyg666]

Loved both of those images in the first half of the video. Well done!

[@DaveKingMusic]

Love the tree shot.

[@artakhambarian2477]

Enjoying your videos as always! If others have not mentioned, here is a good remedy against strong wind - splay your tropod legs to the next angle - it absolutely solves the wind related stability issue, certainly if you have your tripod with you.

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

A perfect day for a hot, black, dark roast coffee and a roast beef sandwich with a few beans. You nailed that first tree shot, Thomas. Cleaning out the van when you get home and getting everything dry is going to be a job. Been on a bunch of trips like that and I have to say that a rainy day like that is better than slushy snow falling on the equipment and contributing nothing to the composition,

[@johnsmith1474]

The first tree shot was a throwaway not worth printing, composition way too loose.

Superb images, too hard to chose which is my favorite.

Love your vids Tom. Been watching from when you started. Watch an old 8 yr old one the other day, man you are so much more relaxed now. I guess it comes with age and you just take what comes at ya.

Love the lighthouse image the central composition and use of negative space makes me think of Wes Anderson films 😃

one more vote for "Elements", a superb magazine for landscape shooters ... if you are a Medium Format shooter, the sister magazin "MediumFormat" is a good read too ... (not related to those magazines in any way, but a enthusiast reader) ... thanks for the video, I travel in a "small" camper, a Winebago MiniWinnie ...

Stunning images today Thomas. Love the video, as always.

[@olechristian9356]

Actually I like those kind of videos. I tell myself often: there is always a photo. And most of us viewers probably don't go out in perfect weather conditions to beautiful landscapes but have to take, what we can get in our free time. So do us a favor and do more videos in boring landscape with bad weather conditions and - if I am not asking too much: midday.
