Autumn Photography in the Woods

In this video I begin my landscape photography Scotland roadtrip. I start my journey in Galloway Forest Park and meet up with Project Amber who helps fix the problems with my camper van. The weather turns bad so I drive north to the Trossachs National Park where I wake up to beautiful landscape photography conditions of calm winds and mist. I photograph serene woodland and mirror like reflections.

15:36 was a massive balls up on my part 😂😂😂 Please feel free to skip 30seconds. Or you can buy my calendar 😩 What an idiot.

[@BriManeely]

I was a bit curious.. but hey! A little freeform cinematography never hurt anyone.. much, anyway. 😉 I was actually going to comment how good the b-roll is on this video. Reminiscent of Sean Tucker's work somehow..

[@masterthelens]

Thought it was some sort of product placement ;)

[@PMCN53]

🤣

[@andrewohone]

Is that American oil painter Bob Ross on a can of coke...?

[@debbiewhatt7489]

It reminded me to say thanks for the calendar! February's image is absolutely superb - I remember watching your vlog on taking that image and being so impressed with the effort it took and the beauty of that morning that we wouldn't have seen without you being there to record it. Thank you again !

[@uvejsdodachanel]

...raindrops, forest, autumn....Lovely

[@davidv6803]

I appreciate when you showed the difference between the reeds being int he reflection versus not. I found that helpful to learn that lesson.

[@macronencer]

6:13 That is a BEAUTIFUL shot. And it's only B-roll!

[@jonasbenediktarndt6211]

Perfect intro, no words needed, really relaxing and enjoying to watch!

[@DavidBrookover]

I always find your videos refreshing and authentic Thomas. Keep up the great work and may your sojourns around this earth reveal its beauty to you for many years.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

"everything in Scotland is looking beautiful" aww Tom. That's the nicest compliment I've ever had!

[@tompetersphotography]

Great vlog Tom, I just love them peaceful images so soothing! Totally agree with your thought process with taking your time and eliminating distractions

[@bikecommuter24]

love that lake, I could sit there all day in the quiet, in the rainy-misty weather and love every minute of it. If I got a photo out of it , brilliant if not ,still brilliant. They still show Bob Ross shows here in the USA. I used to paint and always enjoyed his show.

[@srodigital]

Is it me or was there almost a subliminal cut of a Thomas Heaton calendar in the video...(LOL).

[@oxoTn1k]

Wonderful, wonderful woodland. Thomas is brilliant as always.

[@racerx3866]

Amazing when you stop looking and see the beauty, shots appear.

[@rachelwatson9490]

Nice to have you back in Scotland, I hope you enjoy your stay. The colours are superb at the moment, especially in Dunkeld which is my favourite haunt, and the Argyll areas.

[@rachelwatson9490]

Pucks glen is also magical ;)

[@robertblesse5108]

Beautiful autumn in Scotland. Thanks, Tom, I always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

[@appleonmondays3956]

I don’t always have the time for your videos but when I do I’m thoroughly happy about them. They are such a relaxing experience to watch. Thank you!

[@Clarney]

Loved the silent opening sequence, quite satisying to just watch with enough of the story being told to hold the attention, and I feel oddly compelled to buy a calender.

[@Marco030]

absolutely georgeous ❤️

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Sat chilling, enjoying this very chilled ep, lots packed into this, not thinking anything much as it’s late, as you do. When I see a thumbnail with my big mush at the end!! 😬 thanks Tom, means a lot, would be good to meetup one time 👍 me and the family loved our time around your stomping ground of Northumberland. I will return. Take care, sithee 👍

[@derekcampbell4413]

Thanks for taking us along on your road trip. Glad you got the van fixed. Lovely pics, especially the last on of the Lake.

[@mauistevebear]

ya...no words required...peacefully done. Love the tips on the reeds, perfect compo...so lovely...keep going! and oh ya...YEA for the van!

[@mccuejonathan]

Glad to see you enjoying Loch Ard and the surrounding area. Lucky to have it 30 minutes from my front door!

[@markhyde1970]

Bob Ross!!! Love watching that bloke. Great film Tom. I too, on a good day, photo shoot end up shhoting everything and yet go home with nothing - well I used to. I watched a KZbin film of you with a couple of American people critiqueing (in a mostly positive way) people's photo's. What you said about negative space, the photos being too busy and the statement "I don't dislike it, but what am I looking at, what's the focal point and subject??" really helped me. As a result I'm far more selective and understand that some days, this means I can come home empty handed. But it's opened my eyes to composure of the picture more. ....in theory.

[@davidbruceod]

Glad to see some of your classic drone views. It adds so much context to where you are. thanks

[@joelrollins3984]

Beautiful scenery & excellent pics! Thx for sharing.

[@antonoat]

@44sec this would have made a cool photograph on it's own, love it. Never too many videos from you Thomas, appreciate all that you share, cheers. PS you are not alone in looking for the perfect tree! lol.

[@Prolitiker]

Hey Thomas, thanks for the wonderful, relaxing and inspiring videos. I really do enjoy beeing able to watch your creative process. Just keep an eye on not burning out from that much of content output. Greetings from Germany! ✌️

[@jimjames4875]

First 2 and a half minutes! Beautiful!

[@charlenenagel7962]

Thanks Tom, I really enjoyed this video! Glad you finally got your van fixed. And thanks especially for the composition tips for finding the tranquility in the lake photo. Very helpful!

[@starsearchreject]

I cannot get over these colors. I've never seen anything like it here. Gorgeous.

[@DanielRWomack]

One thing I really loved about this video was how, in setting up a scene - whether it was composing a photo or setting up a video scene - you found ways to build this fantastic background composition while framing up a totally different still image. It beautifully bridged the subject matter with your story and the message you were trying to get across. I don't know if this was intentional or happenstance but it really helped me to enjoy the entire video quite a lot more and I found myself getting more from it even intellectually than I had initially anticipated. Well done!

[@EMillerphotography]

Love your videos :) Cant wait for the next week

[@davidalley2454]

Hey, Thomas.....great calendar!!! Glad I purchased it!!! Love the last capture on the loch with reeds. Beautiful image!!

[@heathbrowning34]

Great video Thomas. So chilled and relaxing - a joy to watch! A great way to wind my day down so thanks for that! Keep up the great work 👍🏻👏🏻

[@lars-gunnarbergquist1157]

Great scenery , great photos!

[@harsh8426]

Great to see the drone shots!

[@yibodong2059]

Heaton's style is unique.

[@amishparekh359]

Agree, your image was absolutely magic. Loved it the most

[@RockLakeMama]

Oh yay! It's great to see you finally bring your doggy out with you to enjoy the trip! Thumbs up for that alone!

[@hermilioquintana9178]

Hello Tom, it was good to see you introducing some drone images and the footage was perfectly balanced in how much you showed. I look forward in seen more of your videos which are packed with useful information. Thank you for sharing.

[@davekelly8168]

Lovely simple image, gorgeous drone footage too..

[@darrenboyd6967]

Great video! Nice touch with the Bob Ross. Loving what you do.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Awesome video Thomas, and some beautiful images, but then again you were in the most beautiful country in the world. Enjoy Scotland.

[@Jensrnsholt]

Mr Heaton, This is the best of your's! What an amazing opening - and the way you mix your passions of landscapes, the art of capturing the view and chasing the opportunities to doing it (the van power stuff amongst...) - it's fantastic! Thank you!

[@bestpix100]

Marvelous, loved the pictures. Thanks

[@markmckie67]

Good to see you in my part of the country, Clatteringshaws reservoir in Bonnie Galloway.

[@777Erf]

I love that misty lake picture.

[@scotty4418]

very beautiful and tranquil pair of images Thomas and hope the rest of the trip goes well. Certainly can recommend the calendar. Got my signed copy and awaiting 2020 to arrive to get it up on the wall 👍

[@ItsaCampingThing]

Great video. Especially loved the crisp sound at the beginning. Odd calendar part half way in

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Another cracking watch 📷❤️

[@MarkMcNeill22]

Cracking vlog love the end results after the pissing rain ☔📷

[@garyholman8634]

Great photos Thomas!. Liked the one over the lake, that was great, about the time of the " Calendar Advertising Pitch!" HA! Awesome Place Scotland! Enjoy!

[@HiruS22]

Brilliant, the coming together of two of my favourite KZbinrs 👍

[@thereedsy]

great stuff, as always

[@chriss2761]

Beautiful video Tom👍 it’s what Wednesday’s are all about👌 looking forward to the next video 👍

[@cjgunawardana]

This is what I needed this morning.... THANKS!!!

[@shropshirephotography-with9157]

Absolutely loved this VLOG and the images ... it seemed to ooze calmness and serenity even with the 30 seconds hiccup 😁👌

[@Hangs4Fun]

Good to see the 304L back in use a couple times.

[@robcarr1899]

Fantastic video mate. Photos are gorgeous. Glenco and Loch Ness areas are my favourite parts of Scotland. There is a beautiful woodland at spean bridge on the A82 between fort William and Inverness. Have a great trip.

[@jamierowe3368]

Best film yet Thomas. The scene where you are describing the shot of the reeds and the loch was wonderful. Really helpful and instructive. It was really good to see you work the scene. 👍

[@kushla]

there was no video on Sunday, I started worrying if Thomas was ok. Happy to see him being fine! ))

[@BrianK04]

the intro was beautiful. Very cinematic, loved the framing, the cuts, no words.

[@PMCN53]

This episode was a perfect way to start my day! (Thursday morning in Australia). Yep, I was wondering about the calendar video in the middle of your description LOL! PS I have my copy on my desk waiting for 2020. I treasure these calendars as a yearly glimpse into the TH portfolio. Enjoy Nepal!

[@glensumner3425]

what a happy little vlog ;)

[@ExplorationsbyRod]

You are one of my favorite photographers, awesome content and an inspiration for me to get out with my camera. Keep up the good work.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

That's very kind, thank you.

[@Himlovesrunning]

Great as Always!! thanks

[@robstammers7149]

A truly superb video Tom, I especially liked the opening few minutes, no talking, calm serene music, followed by the scenes of woodland and water, what more could anyone want at the end of a busy working day, once again Tom many many thanks.

[@jeremyspencer2974]

Beautiful video Tom. One of your best. Jer

[@simonhunt10]

Love the back stories!

[@jonathanruiz2441]

Good work and beautiful pictures!

[@philmarsh5593]

We moved from central England to South Ayrshire (just up from Galloway) late last year and it rekindled my interest in photography - and indirectly, to your channel. Glad you appreciate the beauty of this place as much as me - every season has it's moments but Autumn is stunning. Great explanation during the loch-side shot btw. Must follow up on the van stuff, that really appeals. Look forward to the next one and enjoy this fine country!

[@johngrady7390]

This was a beautiful video! Thanks! And I had no idea that Bob Ross energy drink existed so thanks for that too! I have 4 cans coming. LOL

[@Hirsutechin]

I knew at once you were in my neck of the woods! Sorry about the weather, it's been much better this week and the colours as you drive around (there's been more frost) are great. Great drone footage this week too. :-)

[@BEairsoftTV]

Great video Thomas ! Thanks☺️

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Grand video 👌 loved the shot of Loch Ard 👍 P.S. glad you left the brolly in the van later in the week ;)

[@joshtheintern]

6:04 now that is a stunning shot

[@612morrison]

Tom I love the single tree golden with the green background.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Great video Thomas thanks for sharing the trip 👍🙏

[@pukster88]

First time I think I've ever bought a calendar. Keep it up Tom. Think I started watching you around the 20k mark!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Ha, thanks for the long time support!

[@WillPhipps]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! I love how you've gone back to the basics and making videos outdoors in achievable locations on the UK, although saying that I'm looking forward to watching videos from Nepal

[@zippywalker6406]

Peace and Tranquility with lots of negative space is your style.

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

Another great video Thomas.

[@Gavla13]

Just what I needed. These are my favorite videos mate.. beautiful Photography...

[@chrisalbrecht2088]

Watching you standing in the rain with your umbrella reminds me even more of Eeyore. But lovely content as always Thomas! Lots of love from Germany!

[@Orkney_Drone_Systems]

I went to Loch Ard yesterday to try and find your tree. Unfortunately i went round in circles looking at every small Larch tree, but couldn't find your masterpiece lol! You put me in the mood for trees Thomas. Enjoy your Scottish trip ;-)

[@PabsSco]

The Trossachs are wonderful, pretty much a 20min drive from me. Love going there...

[@calumcree4456]

Great vid as usual. Wish you’d spent more time around D&G. I live here and I remember from an earlier video you had your first big photo from the area so would love to see what you produced around the area at this point in your career! I could use the inspiration to shoot locally.

[@neilcole3406]

Stunning location,Thomas most definitely makes me feel calm, sorry about the solar panel comment, solar panels and the UK weather always makes me laugh!! Glad to see the van is now ok!

[@ryanltaylorphoto]

Awesome video Tom! That Bob Ross energy drink at the end was icing on the cake.

[@MichalOlender]

I feel in peace watching your videos Thomas.

[@derekgillan7314]

Oh dear! What a great pity the sky was so poor, Loch Ard is a fantastic location. Difficult to know where the sweet spots are if you have not studied it, chance of an Osprey.. If you had just gone over the Dukes pass, you would have woken up to heaven, the mist would have framed the wonderful Loch Achray, spectacular angle for an Autumn sunrise and view.Have a wonderful trip through Scotland.

[@tondrijfhamer4956]

I thought that was a nice little happy calendar you squeezed in there. :)

[@stevebanks484]

Hi Thomas. Glad you got the van sorted. Absolutely love the west coast of Scotland - just wish I’d done more photography there before emigrating to Aus ☹️. One of those areas I could spend weeks exploring. Did wonder about the calendar “intrusion”. Needn’t have bothered - already got mine, thanks 👏👍

[@Alodri]

This is your world Thomas, you can do whatever you want

[@flybyairplane3528]

Thomas, hello, I had always loved overcast days, Years ago,,with 35mm film, beautiful saturation,,of aspen trees, single yellow maple trees ,any yes sometimes in the mist, these from this lot are SUPER, THANKS, for your truck, Cheers From, NJaUSS🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@ShaunieMcNeil]

That drone footage though 😱👏🏼📷

[@danwray5626]

Excellent thoughts on composition. Thanks!

[@ronboe6325]

All that fretting over shooting and yet you still make time for fantastic B roll. Amazing stuff.

[@timmahaffey4895]

I was cursing Thomas Heaton the past couple hours while in the woods with miserable conditions, driving snow and bitter cold wind. In all seriousness I’ve been binge watching your channel and wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put in to the making of your videos. The content and images are fantastic, I learn a lot, and they motivate me to get out and shoot. Even on days like today.

[@WouterSpitters]

The auto-generated subtitles think the rain drops in the first seconds are applause. Guess it's a poetic way of saying thanks to an outdoor photographer. ;)

[@ianmcclelland2524]

Thank you another excellent video.....
