I Camped on a Remote Beach with Incredible Photography

[@amosburton2439]

I was the sweaty fat bloke who you passed as you were walking back. I couldn't believe it!! I saw someone walking towards me carrying a tripod, and I thought "He looks like Thomas Heaton" and when you said good morning, that clinched it. I spent lots of time shooting the same stack but I lack your compositional vision. After watching this I wish I could go back and do a do-over but as I'm back home in Surrey now that's not likely 🤣 Great video as always

[@MiscellanyTop]

Hi Amos. I'm sure you don't have Tom's compositional vision... only Tom does. But you have your own. Have confidence and follow your own vision, knowing that no one - not even Thomas Heaton - has that! Good luck.

[@phdman2014]

I’m finding that flushing out a composition without having planned some ideas for what I’ll find at the my destination can be daunting. Then, I’ll spend time looking for compositions using themes i.e., lines, light, color…

[@paulcollingridge8387]

Hi Amos, I, too live in Surrey and know the pain of longing for empty landscapes. We go to the Dales a few times a year to cycle and photograph the remoteness, only 4-5h drive!

[@jasoneldridgephotography]

Awesome that you saw Tom in the wild! I’ll echo what others have said here, you have a vision that’s all yours, it changes with you, use it and love it!

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Ah, yeah dude. I was surprised you were the only photographer I saw on the trail. It was nice to meet you (briefly).

[@peterwolf3001]

im so glad there is a Thomas Heaton on KZbin its like a little meditation in my week

[@andybond4759]

Went there in 1996 on a very stormy day in February having climbed Suilven the day before East to West traverse - it was wild - foam everywhere rolling over the beaches - one of the best low level walks I have done without getting too wet.

[@CristanBoerg]

same here! 😃

[@christerhoelolsen113]

Same here!

🌱❤️

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

great to hear!! Although all of my panting can't be too relaxing :)

[@DannyFyffe]

Tom: FINALLY! The classic Tom is back. Back to your roots of camping in the wild (or glamping this week). Honest, solid photography. Photo's that capture the essence of the place. Honesty in admitting in the morning that you weren't feeling it so no need of doing it. This is the Tom I have followed for years. No faking it for a sponsorship. This is what makes your channel stand head and shoulders above the rest. Keep on going my friend.

[@sakebombyum]

100% agree!!

[@DannyFyffe]

@@sakebombyum It's good to have the old Tom back.

[@sakebombyum]

@@DannyFyffe I e-mailed Tom a couple of weeks ago communicating my thoughts on the channel. Not sure if he got it or ever read it, but felt it was important. Then I see this video and I'm inspired once again!

[@DannyFyffe]

@@sakebombyum I spoke the truth on a video he put out a couple of weeks ago and the fanboys tried to take me out. I fought them all off and they hid back in their holes. Then Tom's last video came out where he admitted he has not been into it and so without naming me, he admitted all I said was correct. Now he puts this one out which takes him to his roots. This is the channel I joined up with. Not the guy with a free $14,000 camera and lens that none of his viewers can afford.

[@WillPembrokePhotography]

Agreed!

[@juanitakelly3082]

Classic Heaton. Thanks for taking us camping with you.

[@Moasghari]

I was about to say that, thank you, Thomas.

[@helenbrown9708]

yes, especially for those of us who are not currently in a position to walk 4 miles with gear and camp at a lovely beach....hope it helps the head.

[@oneal.e.k.o.]

🌱❤️

[@jej887]

I always love watching your videos. It's not always about the photography and the amazing images you get, I love the adventure I feel. It's like I'm there with you and you really inspire me and give me ideas. Thanks Tom.

[@faraz-i3x]

In addition to the great images, this was such a peaceful video.

[@Peter_Reed_Photography]

A simply brilliant vlog.

[@Ricky-j5k]

Anytime you can walk away with a pleasing image, it’s a successful and enjoyable outing. Love the images and the camping experience. Inspirational as always Thomas.

[@IshantChandurkar]

WONDERFUL VIDEO . LOVED IT .

[@AlaskaBrian]

That shot at 9:41 is just awesome. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@peterwilliams6114]

I've lived on *********** these past 36 years and I know exactly where you are , at 68 and arthritic I don't get out as much as I used to but I may try getting to ********* before my toes turn up . Made me smile when you checked that the boot was locked . Can never be too careful though !! Beautiful video as per - the only Photography Channel I follow .

[@shotsphoto]

Amazing! For both, photography and camping! Thx Thomas 🙏

[@kathleenhart707]

Been your subscriber since the Dawn of Heaton. The vibe of this video reminds me so much of the old days. Those early videos that got me so inspired way back then. I have lost my way since, but this video has rekindled my interest to create new adventures with camping and photography.🤗

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

🙂👍

[@23432]

I won't be able to get that out of my Head! ....since the Dawn of Heaton...

[@rupertmartin3784]

That's nice! That's stunning. The interweaving curves.

[@scotty4418]

Love that feeling of serenity when being close to the sea. Lovely images today Tom, and definitely had a vibe of your earlier camping videos

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

So tempted to do a chunk of the Cape Wrath trail after watching this. The square crop (9:40) was the perfect choice, imo.

[@The_golden_charlie]

It's a brilliant walk. Did it in 88.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks a lot, I enjoyed the square too. One day, I'd love to do the Cape Wrath trail.

[@lynnecliffe3056]

I loved the "clean and minimal" and appreciated your effort to capture such.

[@susanfirth2279]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Love the seaside. Thank you for sharing.

[@MurphyGreg]

A night sleeping at a beautiful beach is a bit of heaven on earth. Wonderful images as always, Thomas 🙌🙌

[@kathyjurgens7153]

Just really found this refreshing tonight. After a very long week where we happen to live. To look at this beautiful place and your beautiful images felt like being on Holiday.

[@margaretstapper6907]

I love it when you go camping like this. I am a bit old for this style of camping now but it brings back fabulous memories. 💕

[@rustyshinault510]

What a beautiful setting. Peaceful

[@randyschwager84]

I really enjoyed this camping/photography adventure! I turn 75 next month and my family frowns on me doing solo camping for photography! But, I won’t let that stop me! Thanks for taking me along!

[@john3Lee]

That's a thumbs up from me.... For very enjoyable video.

[@pizzafroth1521]

Beautiful again Thomas. Keep it up. Ive been a fan of yours for years now. The sheer calm and serenity your videography gives me has benefitted my mental health immensely. Thank you Tom for helping me ignite a passion I would pursue for life. Thank you Tom.

[@KevinNordstrom]

This was a pleasure to watch, Tom. Camping is therapy.

[@billj5645]

Camping- lots of fun, remote beach- can't beat it, and then photography also. Sounds like a short but epic trip.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Beautiful Blue Hour shot!

[@IjUstcAntAnymOrE_SMH]

I loved the photographs from this vid and the last video. Such beautiful locations.

[@alex_nita]

#1 is a gorgeous shot

[@dariengonzalez2565]

Loved this one!! So peaceful. ❤

[@cbimage]

Very enjoyable video. It's a beautiful bay, that one. My wife and I walked there in the pi**ing rain and were thoroughly soaked within minutes of starting the walk. But the vista was worth it.

[@phdman2014]

Everything looks like a fiery storm of grey. I can discern no beginning nor end between the water and the sky. Yet, you pulled out an amazing shot. Just amazing! 11:54 You have a very good eye. I’ve watched the first twelve minutes today. I’ll watch the rest tomorrow. Thank you!

[@anneszczepanski8333]

I look forward to your videos every week and you never disappoint and I always learn something new each time, so thank you :)

[@paulagas42]

Thank you for igniting again my passion for landscape, 5yrs of wedding photography and now going back to my roots. The story telling of the video keeps me from this addictive landscape scenery. Btw, silent fan here years ago. Great video as always keep it up!

[@Dobromir133]

More photography camping videos please. Back to the old times. Great images!

[@atalaykaracaorenli7698]

What beautiful photos. Bravo Thomas🧿

[@lonnieclemens8028]

You have a lot of will power walking out that distance. I admire your composition and the way you explain things.

[@pammcintyre7602]

Beautiful spot you found. Beautiful images too

[@wendynewing8834]

Lovely stuff! Gorgeous images and a fascinating adventure. Thank you.

[@janaidel4002]

Confrontations to this great image !

[@zhucloud]

the second image has some kind of magic to me, very tranquil and beautiful

[@jeg569]

Camped there a few times, and walked in and back to C.W, stunning location. Love the first stack composition.

[@Eric1396]

The two images were really good. The first one got me wow

[@gregoryforeman2105]

I agree with you on the first photo.

[@mikecastles]

Really appreciate the before and after images you have added to the videos, it really helps to visualize things.

[@thekylehampton]

I love this; felt like a throwback to the early vids I loved from you, Thomas. Hiking/camping vlogs made by a photographer. This felt peaceful, and relateable.

[@chombi84]

Another fantastic video to relax to after a hectic busy week. Thank you Thomas. 👍👍

[@kenbranstetter2354]

Thomas….;your videos are inspirational, not matter the photos obtained or not. Keep on doing you.

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

A good one I've learned for layering when outside: "be bold, start cold!"...

[@sarahp007]

thanks

[@Dream.Pirate]

Thanks for this video Tom. It was fun and relaxing to watch

[@nerrelloader4226]

I just loved the texture in those rocks. Glad you included them in a comp. Thanks for the video.

[@Kentonbmw]

Like always, an enjoyable episode… Nice work!

[@kirpetrenko]

Such a great place!

[@Jimmy.Online]

Anyone can do it hard, but a great outdoors person can achieve the same goal and do it with ease and comfort.

[@dr.d723]

Gorgeous shots, Thomas! I love your photography. I am new to the channel, and trying to get back on my photographic horse after a bad fall. So, I appreciate your candid comments.

[@JayFunningham]

Havent gotten to shoot anything in ages but my wife and i are child free in Barcelona this weekend. Very different environment but i'm watching Thomas to get the old muscles warmed up again before we head out.

[@pauljakeman]

Loved this mate nice work

[@ericerickson6537]

Always a good simple video. Always enjoy watching you work and making your images

[@kojw7100]

You are an amazing teacher.

[@edwardw.1974]

When I subscribed to Thomas's channel, he only had 50,000 subscribers. Now he has over 500,000 subscribers. I will subscribe to your calendar next year. Good luck.

[@kkuehne45]

Fantastic! Agree with the comments, this video reminds me of your classics from a few years ago.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

This video reminds me of one of your first ever videos where you climbed a fell in the lakes, did a "whats in my bag" on the fell (including your flask of whisky 🤣) and woke up to a cloud inversion. It was that particular video that encouraged me to start my own KZbin journey.... Then, skip to now, and in only my wildest dreams, did i think we would then be filming a "funny video segment" together for one of my videos! Loved it, more of this please buddy, and more infrared too, so i can pinch your ideas 🤣🤣 We'll have that beer at some point im sure... Col

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Ah yes, that video was a classic. I am going to do a series where I recreate old videos, side by side. Could be fun!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto That sounds awesome. I have a bunch of sites I have been to and have a series called "Revisted" to film next year - One in mind was my visit to Semerwater where I was almost flooded out.. Keep up the great work...

[@charlenenagel7962]

Hey Tom, I'm really enjoying the videos of this trip! I especially like the image you got in this one of the sea stack view. Beautiful! Also I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the way you are flipping back and forth between the raw and edited images. It really gives the viewer a chance to absorb the changes. Thanks for what you do!

[@wendyshort5972]

Great video Thomas. The camping looked great. The shots were great. Well done.

[@markhyde1970]

Brilliant. Great pictures and fantastic to see you happy again - happy enough to not pressure yourself into taking more when you don't need to. Jelous you got to camp there 👍🏽

[@Indrakusuma_a]

The kind of video I like the most, camping photography trip :D

[@Melissainsc]

Gorgeous video. I love the colors you captured in these images. Definitely worth the effort.

[@NguyenHung-wh3jk]

You are living in your best life, Thomas. Love the video and the photos ;)

[@andybamforth]

Stunning lines, lovely compositions, a definite back to your roots video. Loved it. To come away with one good image is a win. You got two. Anyway its not just about the photography is it? Honest, straightforward and open with the bonus of a great eye for a shot. Thats what makes your channel.

[@paulwarrilow4103]

I so enjoyed this video Tom. Couple of lovely images, a great adventure to boot. Like you say, it doesn't remotely matter that you didn't get a morning image. Lovely stuff! 👏

[@lennartphotography]

Nice to see you out camping, really nice location all by yourself. Great photographs.

[@nigelwest3430]

If that was me I'd walk all that way, set up the tent and then think "did I lock the van?" 🤣

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

haha, yes, I often have those thoughts.

[@ThePeteW]

It's a lovely walk out to that Beach. I camped at what could be the exact same spot about 10 years ago! Had the beach to ourselves. Managed to forget all the cooking stuff. Fortunately had a portable BBQ. Cooking Baked Beans in the tin on a BBQ is not ideal!

[@NicolasAlexanderOtto]

Somehow the lighthearted spirit of this video lets it stand out! also I love the shots. Great work, even better than usual even though I can't put my finger one it. Maybe because it wants to make me go camping again, but since my last two hiking trips were plagued by sickness and bead weather living it through your eyes by proxy is just the right thing at this moment for me.

[@naturephotographychallenge]

What a lovely spot to camp overnight!! Can't beat the beach at any time! And to grind your own coffee beans in the morning was quite impressive! Lovely photos & yes... always best to not push it if you know you've captured the best images on your trip!

[@Jake-vt4ow]

Love this video with beautiful images!

[@martinnightingale6033]

Love the image in square format from the evening . It’s so peaceful and calming . I’m the same my photo mojo is totally through the floor . Go out for a drive see photo opportunity. Take camera gear see nothing . It sucks big time .

[@chrisparker5684]

Great video! I love these overnight adventures. I visited Sandwood Bay with a friend in July 1995 in the middle of a scorching heatwave. We sat in the middle of the vast beach for lunch, lazing in the sun, with no-one else to be seen. Imagine our surprise when a young lady appeared and, with an entire empty beach to enjoy, came and lay down 5 metres away from us, and proceeded to sunbathe topless!

[@ghuertasww]

I really liked this video. I love camping

[@BTurner.]

For me that was your best video for ages as it’s something I can actually do myself. It’s great that you can go to distant places and produce videos but I’ve subscribed to you for ages and the best for me were always the ones where you camped in the Lakes or somewhere similar and that inspired me to do the same. I even went to near enough the same spot you went to above Honister Slate Mine just below Brandreth and got some cracking shots.

[@SeanLuc_Photo]

Good to see you working on quality and not quantity. Good job mate!

[@aharshephotography]

Thomas Amazing photos as always.. And Great choice of music man!! I feel happy and relaxed after watching and listening to your videos.

[@stevebanks484]

Wow - love Scotland. Absolutely gorgeous location and amazing camp-site. So lucky with the stones as well. 👍

[@MrBusby]

Beautiful images. Great video. Fantastic to see you back in your happy place.

[@rickpearson5139]

Thank you for showing us that you shouldn't try and force images. They rather have to come to you through exploration and inspiration. Sometimes the answer is "no" despite the effort.

[@herx2429]

[@marlamaier1660]

I did very much enjoy that video! 😀

[@DavidHarrisGRI]

I would love to make that same little expedition. The campsite was perfect. Lovely scenery.

[@jamespanter4060]

Nicely done Thomas

[@mike1sas]

Hi Thomas - glad your continuing to show Scotland off for the beauty it has. For your new camera pouch, consider getting a Peak Design strap where you will have the anchors attached to the pouch all the time and quickly attach the strap to the insert to carry it. Certainly it will reduce the risk of dropping it in the sea as you do such crossings

[@timrosenburgh8597]

I enjoyed the video as usual Thomas. Wow what a fantastic spot to camp and photograph that amazing beach. You captured some really nice image's as usual. Catch you on the next one.

[@keenzomamanzo9044]

lovely location and image Tom, I've lost the burn for photography recently, but watching this reminds me of what a good day can feel like, thanks :)

[@72Webber]

Great video Tom as always, The image with the inclusion of the rocks was my favourite of the two. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
