The Last 50 Miles - A Landscape Photography Adventure on Skye

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks, everyone, for watching this video. You can see part 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHvYgX6Oe7mGjcU Also, a freakishly high amount of people are asking about my Bum Bag, so I thought it best to capitalise and make my first million from this Affiliate Link: geni.us/Seral7 and whilst I am pushing my luck, here is a link to my 2022 Photography Calendar, still available: thomasheaton.co.uk/product/2022-calendar/

[@ewenjeffrey]

Thanks a bunch Tom!!! It was great meeting you and Murray. Love the images from the trip, the backlit tree image was beautiful!

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Top man for giving them both a lift.

[@jabrz]

so perfect and beautiful

[@sebastianspychala]

The Best two videos on this channel !!! Love it !!!

[@allanrooke5755]

Part 1 & part 2, both were fantastic - Thomas Heston at his very best!

[@RM831BC4E4]

@Thomas and @Scotlands Mountains awesome !

[@scotty4418]

I thought at first when you were using the pink spongy towel you were going to end up with a pink rinse lol. Seriously though Thomas this was an outstanding mini-series and Murray, summed it well at the end and that is you delivered an array of stunning images that weren't Skye's honeypot images. You and Murray owned this adventure from the start and that to me is why this is a stand out piece of work. Well done to the both of you 👏 👏

[@barnett882]

One word.... Stunning!!!

[@Hirsutechin]

First, this is why I still watch this channel after all these years: outdoor adventure and exploration. Second, the images are usually a treat and this crop was especially. Highly enjoyable for all concerned and thanks also to Murray for partnering in the adventure!

[@debraelainemcdonald27]

Murray is great. Very fun seeing you guys together again.

[@davefarrell4911]

What a great trip nice and thanks for taking us with you guys.

[@cathalgibbons8634]

Absolutely brilliant. what a trip I'm sure. Hand held photography all the way. That's me. Once the camera is out, just keep snapping.

[@kylewood8327]

That was quite the adventure, well done and excellent images.

[@AndrewVaughan]

Most anxious bit of this video? Not the Bad Step. No, it was the lens in the grass at 11:30 with no rear cap that was making me sweat.

[@Jacob-64]

Me too ....it'll be full o midges now ... I've been to Skye hundreds of times and it still blows me away ...

[@RFranks]

@@Jacob-64 A nice bit of midge bokeh for artistic effect.

[@Jacob-64]

@@RFranks I'm heading to Arasaig on Thursday I hope the wee shites are gone or at least plenty of wind 😅

[@dieter-greven]

Why sweat? It's a lens, just a tool. Nothing more.

[@visualsart]

Same here, but yeah the lens just wanted to cuddle after being left behind for looking after the "lost" tripod. Taking strength of gear serious, in the bumbag I couldn't see any separation or even a cloth between the lens or the body.. But it seems all of the gear survived the trip and after all the marks on the gear are memories of the trip. :-)

[@kevash8779]

i think this is the best video of yours i have watched, absolutely brilliant

[@aaqilnizam3374]

what a poetic intro

[@alangauld6079]

Love bum bags! I first used one in the Pyrenees in 1980. I was staying in an hotel and the bum bag held waterproofs and food, all I needed each day. So much easier to carry and much more comfortable than a rucksack in hot weather. Of course I wasn't carrying 2 pro cameras and lenses, just an OM2 and a single zoom round my neck... Bur I've been using bum bags ever since.

[@FrankMcMahon1964]

What an epic journey and photography class, thanks Thomas and Murray, the bum bag from Osprey looks great, Isle of Skye is on the bucket list.

[@jeremyhendersonphotography]

In the immortal words of Dr Dre - "n*^%%^^ trying to be the king, but the ace is back". Great film, Thomas!

[@kevin2landscapes]

Brilliant adventure truly enjoyed the two part video.

[@egallagher41]

Well done Tom and Murray, fantastic mini series and please visit Scotland again soon, the Midges think you are delicious

[@earthbeat.photographyearth5562]

Phantastisch Reise und ein Geschenk euch zwei ein Stück dieses Weges virtuell zu begleiten. Thanks a lot!

[@alisonlyons4691]

Wow so enjoyed your trip Thomas, and Murray along with you too, l love his videos. Yep l wear a bumbag too, as well as a rucksack, so handy. It's going to be hard to better that adventure, maybe a trip to St Kilda ? 🙂 Thank you for all the lovely photography and info. Take care Alioban x

[@george_edward_]

Slow day at work - this video comes at the perfect time! Let me go get a fresh cup of joe

[@ianhamer4294]

That was a bloody good vlog, the best. Well done and thanks.

[@OAK_MTN]

That hike is a life goal now, thanks to you!

[@antonoat]

A truly fantastic film, well done guys and thank you for sharing it all with us! 👏😀👍

[@jonstout7635]

Sam and Frodo made it alive! Glorious hike, photos and challenges.

[@aaronza7218]

Great journey! Thanks to both of you guys!

[@nickwrotenphotography879]

i gotta say your pictures blow me away

[@charlesgough3528]

OMg Thomas! Stellar images!

[@VlogPhotography]

Even if the first 5 minutes you hit a point that I often swear by. Bad boots can make a hike all that worse if you dont have the correct footware. Bumbags are always helpful Thomas. (Fanny pack lol we used to call it that as kids but it seemed to have stuck with so many including myself. Still useful though lol Absolutely stunning location. Massivly jealous I must say. Omg I bet that water was freezing but refeshing! The bad step looks a bit sketchy in places. Haha We've all tried to take short cuts before and ended up in the middle of a bog or two lol. That old house shot was stunning! Omg Ive done the exact same thing before and left my tripod behind and I had a 1.5km walk back to get it. Never will I make that same mistake twice. Really nice pace to this video. I need to learn slow down in my videos a bit. Great video Thomas. Thank you for sharing!

[@RussellMcCollom]

I love the pine tree shot. Wow what an adventure you both had. Hard work. I loved both videos.

[@mrcassioo]

That shot of the pine trees might be the most beautiful shot I've seen on your channel!

[@merkyw4187]

Thomas & Murray .... What a pretty fantastic duo to say the least. Great to see the Two together on an adventure. Brilliant just brilliant. Thks lads ☘️

[@AndyBanner]

I am scratching just watching all those midges swarming around.

[@GirdHerd]

Tom, I'm always amazed at how you can pull a nice image out of nothing. The trees image at 26:07 is a perfect example. That's why I enjoy your videos so much. It makes me think, "if he can do it, I can do it". I just need to get out there and try.

[@thegroove2000]

Well done lads.

[@gnidrologeddie]

Epic ! I spent a lot of time scuba diving Skye in the late 70's, and getting into all sorts of trouble with the weather, but the memories are still solid of such a brilliant place. Thanks for bringing back the memories !!!

[@kamucho]

Some of my favourite images of yours were taken on this trip, great work

[@spacejesus570]

Your videos are a joy to watch with my morning coffee. Thank you.

[@RustyM74]

Really great video! More like this pls! Well Done.

[@FrancescoLibassi]

The pine trees shot is absolutely amazing! Goes to show that most of the times the most important thing in landscape photography is to be there! Thanks for sharing!

[@greggfuhrman3191]

Mr. Heaton- excellent work on these past 2 videos of your Isle of Skye adventure. By the looks of it, this maybe my new favorite place on the "to-see" list. Great images, and you told a good story. Congratulations!

[@onesimusthings3455]

Wonderful wonderful wonderful, thank you so much 😊

[@rerod7481]

That's why I love my Mindshift Rotation backpack for hikes.

[@barryryder_photography]

Checks in at 6... Boom Thomas has posted.. Winner

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

I'm a well oiled machine!

[@barryryder_photography]

Glad to hear. So enjoy my Wednesday night Heaton Videos

[@Noparticularcontext]

Needed something to watch whilst I was taking a soak in the bath and it did not disappoint. Thoroughly enjoyed the video, probably the best video I’ve seen on KZbin in a while.

[@rmnds]

This series might be your 2 best videos ever.

[@ErwinvanAsperen]

That one with the pine trees is amazing!

[@lostwoodproduction1411]

That pano shot of the house looks amazing 👏 🙌

[@brianbeattyphotography]

That extra hike in the swampy grass was worth it just for the image at 26:11. Awesome

[@JellyLancelot]

So many photo's in this that are spectacular. The pine trees and the earlier mountain shots as you were returning from your tripod journey. Just incredible.

[@danielangelov91]

The lone house hand held pano turned out great! Haven't even thought of doing hand-held pano. Well worth the experiment!

[@seantomlinson3320]

My favorite pair of videos of yours. Just an awesome trip.

[@pete-c]

Just Brilliant, nothing more to say

[@franksnyder284]

Great set of videos and a great adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Fantastic photography too!

[@twiztedzero1685]

splendid trip Thomas, absolutely splendid. 👍😁👍

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

What else can you say? Fantastic!

[@steveostler]

Beautiful scenery and photos. Plus a burger van in the middle of nowhere. Brilliant.

[@MKNYC_]

Oooooo that pines shot

[@markattardo]

Enjoyed the video and images, a lot. Thanks for hauling us around the island👍👍

[@ricardohnn]

Most people don't appreciate enough the fact that every shot that Heaton shows up walking far away, he had to set the camera, walk, and then go back to get the gear.

[@b.2221]

Outstanding thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs with us Sir.

[@c.alcazar2584]

Thomas congratulations you made it, beautiful place if you read this how much weigh did you carry for all this miles, happy for the two of you stay safe, can wait for your next adventure..

[@fiizzy3884]

I've really enjoyed watching you hike across Skye, and seeing your pix, but the Bad Step? I'd be turning back and heading home 😲 Just watching you do it make me shiver.

[@alexbpunkt1875]

The panoramic photo with the house is incredible :D I wanna do this hike too, im hyped. Thanks for the videos you took for us !

[@tuvaaq]

That house used to be a mountain bothy offering free overnight stays for hikers, slept there numerous times before some years back the roof was damaged in a storm and the owner boarded it up and retired it. The army built another bothy nearby but it's not a patch on the old one.

[@alexbpunkt1875]

@@tuvaaqThats interesting thanks.

[@Panma98]

photo at 8:53 i think

[@tuvaaq]

@@Panma98 aye. first went there September 2006, those chairs were sat outside back then and still there 15 years on 😂

[@brianmckeever5280]

Congratulations on your achievement! Thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Thanks!

[@BjørjaBear]

I really appreciate this hiking centric video, lovely footage and a real treat for anyone interested in hiking and photography. Top form!

[@Doogiereid]

What an amazing trip you guys done. Always a pleasure to watch you and Murray

[@Berry_N]

The tree shot @26:10, stunning, a fave.

[@lphilpot01]

Just for reference, your "not much in the way of views" five mile walk is gorgeous and definitely head and shoulders above ANYTHING within 300 - 500 miles of where I live (deep south USA)! 🙂

[@MrShmellit]

LOVE the pine tree shot!

[@BordoloijSamar]

Congrats and it so amazing to watch. thanks for taking us there. cheers

[@gp-jr7fu]

Brilliant Tom! Great adventure. Well done you guys!

[@JanoUrda]

I was so fortunate to spent few days at Sligachan campsite and hike around...one of my favourite places yet!

[@Rob.1340]

Thank you. Respect. All the very best. 👍😎

[@juddrbaker]

These couple of videos are some of the best I've seen on this channel. Excellent job Thomas!

[@twalker294]

You are my absolute favorite photographer on YT and videos like these are why. Your style, lack of bravado or attempted drama, and of course your amazing photography, make your videos an absolute joy to watch. Keep doing what you're doing sir!

[@bossofthemoss450]

Awesome bog sloggin’, firm bashin’ yomp. 😉👍. Oh, some photography too. 😁

[@Martin715495]

Absolutely cracking video my friend, spot on!👍

[@Sold_a_dummy]

Being from Jamaica, I died a little when I saw you jump on the water. Anything under 30° is suicide 😁. Man this is a classic. What a beautiful part of the world. Also, it's funny how much your accent changes the more excited you get. Love this channel man, love your work.

[@EZweb2004]

love you thomas, you always inspire me.

[@MehdiMirian]

Such beautiful hike you guys did. Spectacular views and beautiful photos!

[@nrice3623]

Amazingly beautiful at the end there. Such a great video series, well done Thomas!

[@Randor10]

We’ve just spent the last icy cold morning of our Christmas vacation lying in bed with warm Espressos watching both your Isle of Skye videos. What a great journey. We enjoyed it very immensely. It has given us a great impetus to also document the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada when we retire there in the next couple of years.

[@paulhoughton5266]

Absolutely brilliant

[@chewbokehl1435]

Absolutely the best ‘landscape photography video’ I’ve seen. Have you seen the video by mountain biker Danny Macaskill called ‘The Ridge’ shot on Skye ? I’m sure you’d like it with the scenery and music Thomas!

[@hamsterneckliving]

Most excellent trip and videos. I’m so excited you made it. For a second there I thought you were going to skip the end. So glad you just changed your path. Tip to tip. Well done!

[@0y0chang0]

I tell myself to slow down and slow down, but some of my best memories are the ones where I am chasing some last bit of light in the mountains. Glad you found some on your trek Thomas and glad you brought us along.

[@wickerman10]

Absolutely wonderful! Amazing images. Thanks for sharing - this type of stuff is inspirational.

[@subjectifobjectif]

Brilliant couple of episodes. Cheers

Will watch later Thomas, I am sure its awesome, after all it's Scotland!!!!

[@grantosborne3062]

Outstanding trip. Should be used by the Scottish Tourist Board. Great advert for Skye. Look forward to seeing all the edited photos.

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff guys, dunno how you kept up that pace, ps.. note to all tourists, don't leave the path unless you have a murray.
