Photography in the Woods | Autumn Colour

I continue north on my landscape photography road trip through Scotland and escape the foul weather of Glencoe for the more sheltered woodlands of the Cairngorms National Park. The autumnal colours are peaking and I manage to find isolated trees full of golden yellow leaves to photograph. With my camera I try to capture the beauty of the Scottish outdoors in Autumn.

Thomas, you are the most calm and relaxed guy I have ever come across. Nature has been very kind to your soul.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Alternate opening: "Be vewwy vewwy quiet. I'm hunting ... compositions. Hehehheheh!"

[@gewglesux]

Nice one!

[@stephenhawkes81]

Its incredible how much effort you put into filming, setting up the shots of yourself and in the edit. I think in a way thats as impressive as the photography.

[@chrisborgmotorhome]

Love the silent introduction, the drone shot and the yellow trees. You are a amazing storyteller.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.

[@lenividivici9123]

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Seriously, though, I'm not that much into landscape photography and as a new year's resolution I want to get less input on gear, composition, editing, you name it, to challenge myself come up with things, but I still like watching all of your videos because the way you describe a scene or picture, even before showing the final shot, is so incredibly mesmerizing. I don't know any other KZbinr that can paint with words like you do, it's definitely your unique selling point.

[@dr.feelicks2051]

The KZbin thumbnail makes your 5D look like, well, a flaming caNNon. Drone work was perfect. Follow the yellow leaf Rd.👍

Wow! the Scotland scenery is so beautiful. Great images, too!

The thumbnail preview image for this video in my feed gives the appearance of flames coming from your camera lens! How could I not watch it. No flames but gorgeous foliage. Wonderful video. Thank you.

STUNNING SHOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markattardo]

I love visiting theses awesome areas. Pictures are a bonus.

[@Crux93]

These videos are so well made! So calm and such an inspiration, almost meditation!

[@PamelaMarshall]

Probably my favourite location in Scotland. Just feels like home. It’s magic. Big fan of the yellow trees as well.

[@davidv6803]

I love how complete your videos are. So many great cuts and amazing b-roll. Awesome.

oh my AMSR. Thanks for the calendar. I like it a lot.

[@akashdeeppuri4344]

You know it is almost 3 years or long since i have been watching your video and all i can say is that, i feel can your videos . Even with my eyes closed i can see what you are doing in your video. And that's what makes you what you are. Thanks for being a KZbinr and a photographer at the same time.

[@Leffe49]

Two very great images. The last one was my absolute favourite! So darn beautiful!

[@jamesattenborough2597]

Very nice, calm and considered video and photography Thank you Tom

[@robcarr1899]

Thanks Tom. Some lovely scenery.

[@ChrisEdgecombePhoto]

Love the picture with the grass coming up through the water.

[@stuartschaffner9744]

I really enjoyed this video. In northern New England in the US, we have larches, a small primitive pine tree that is deciduous. So, in the fall its needles turn yellow before dropping off. I also loved the grasses in the ripply water.

[@Giuseppe9486]

Your second image are simply stunnig!!!

[@TheMalve70]

This video made my day. Thanks Thomas!

[@reiddickson]

The area with the grasses sticking out of the water already looked like a painting in the video, so it's no surprise that it ~really~ came together in the photo. Had I been in your shoes, I think I would've gone for a second shot with a longer lens having the brightly lit trees in the center-right filling the frame, 'cause they're so damn beautiful. Thanks for another great video!

[@sk8freshcst]

Another great vid. Great shots love the 2nd one!

[@allansisson355]

Love the fact a Small tree can have a Huge presence.

[@fotofletch]

Really love that image of the grasses in the loch. I think it's one of the best I've seen from you for a while. Just perfect.

[@markhyde1970]

Favourite two evenings of the week Wednesday and Sunday

[@raceon4]

This was a great video. I loved how you walked through the process of composing the image. I find that to be extremely helpful.

[@allanmarshall4582]

Winter camping and snow, let's hope so.

[@just_eirik]

God I would LOVE pine forests like this! Many small pine forests around here have been cut down because the trees are worth a lot of money. It really make me sad. Some of me favorite photography spots have been destroyed.

[@ignorance_is_strenght]

Creative angles. 👍

[@NickGranville]

I do love the autumn colours in the UK. Bliss

[@StarScaperPhoto]

I thoroughly enjoyed this one Thomas. All very relateable / recognizable stuff. Looking forward to you camping adventure in the next video!

[@cutthephoto7611]

I've been watching your videos from sometime. I really like them

[@antonoat]

Another yellow tree, who cares, it is a particularly nice tree so I think it's a very worthwhile subject, I would have photographed it too due to the situation. Woodland photography is very good for the soul. Great video Thomas. I've said it before, wellys are a great accessory for the landscape photographer actually many photographers!

[@larsm1712]

Beautiful images

[@alexraynor1644]

Been watching you videos for a long time and I have to say they are better than ever.

nice shots Tom, I love the addition of the drone transition at 2:45, especially in the woods

[@MichaelSteighner]

you are a gift to us all :)

[@ciprynus]

Great video. The first 3 minutes are awesome, the silence, the sounds, the preparation. Well done!

[@mahervlogdz7697]

great 😍

[@gmantoon]

Stunning photo keep saying am gonna get to Scotland for some photography myself

[@chiraz111]

You continue to just absolutely *crush* your B-roll game. Great job! The production quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better. Honestly, it almost pulls me out of the narrative thread because I know it's just you out there! Thanks for making the effort. I hope it's as rewarding for you as it is entertaining for us!

[@johnjon1823]

Very good work throughout great images - nice fly-over with the light breaking through. A+ Best wishes!

[@jamesjohnston6765]

I have to say that I am enjoying this very quiet technique of vlogging. I really feel like I am there with you, in the moment. That is minus the rain, wind, snow, and cold of course.

Another fantastic episode Thomas, lovely image capture in the woodland. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Also, I agree SQUARESPACE do a great job providing the tools to make a website, I love mine! Cheers.

[@jdogg402]

The pull away shot from the tree + noise cancelling headphones = wow!

[@oneandonlyjaybee]

Your photography of trees makes me think about parallels in bonsai. Colour, movement, choosing the best 'front', considering negative space. Love the content as always.

[@Echinacea53]

Liked so much! Liked the whole video! Absolutely gorgeous photos and woods, and you Thomas, perfectly fill this silence of the forests. Just pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for the video and wish you good luck!

[@WildPhotoShooter]

At least you can see the wood for the trees. I'd love to see some Scottish mist in amongst those trees and early morning sun rays breaking through.

[@bglandscapetours]

Inspirational images man!

[@chriss2761]

Brilliant video Tom nice calming intro 👍 2 beautiful images also 👌 Hope you managed to find your way out the maze 😉

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Thomas, I follow about 60 landscape vloggers but your's is my first go - to! I also learned one or two new things from you on this occasion, so that's a win-win! I also think it is time for another review of your campervan. What and how many changes/improvements have you made since purchasing your van from the workshop. And... if there was anything else on your wish list what else would you add to the van for the benefit of the traveling Landscape Photographer. Thank you, for sharing your skills with us...

[@chiranjibghorai6950]

I love the fact that you walked around for hours yet didn't find a composition. So relatable!

[@JamesLanePhoto]

Heaton does ASMR haha. Love it!

[@J4Photo]

Managed my own little yellow tree a week or so ago. To me, it was a photo that I couldn’t NOT take! Great shot as always.

[@arvizaslt]

great photographs :)

[@bradzaruba9686]

You've inspired me to go take a photo of a red maple. No yellow trees where I'm at.

[@davedowe6821]

What a well done video. I stopped and laughed quietly to myself thinking "damn" when the shot of the tree from the drone started pulling back - man, what a close to a great opening sequence and story. So well done, man!

[@dh1895]

that drone shot

[@cgriggsiv]

Can't wait until this weekend I will be camping at Mohican memorial State Park with very cold temperatures and my cameras in hand

[@btf6010]

The silent intros are so good!!

[@dansaxton-mccabe6232]

Whilst still retaining your compositional style throughout your time on KZbin, i feel your processing style has evolved so much during that time especially with scenes such as the first shot in this video. That darker processing allowing for more focus on the main subject makes the shot, but I'm not so sure you'd have approached it the same way a couple years ago. I've heard it said before that the style of processing can be affected by a person's mindset/mental/emotional state; so my question is, and this may become an idea for a future video for you, those shots you've taken in the past, however happy you were with them, if you revisit the raw files now, without using the original processed image as reference, would you process them in the same way? Loved this video, and look forward to the next one! 👍 Dan

[@hellobipo]

super relaxing way of making a video :) i like it! And btw awesome shots and colors! Always very interesting, how other photographers work. Cheers! :)

[@whiteskyphotographics3033]

Hey Thomas, fantastic video as always, and always very inspiring. We stay over in Aberdeenshire on the eastern side of the Cairngorms National park, you are always welcome to stay at ours if you ever travel or have the inkling to come this side to Grampian. As an Astrophotographer the Cairngorms is my playground but at night...which can be fun camping in winter 3000ft up in snow and in -16 degrees. keep up the great videos. Cheers, Simon

[@MartinaTakano]

Thank you

[@MeAMuse]

Got to love the Cairngorms! If you can - go to the Cairngorm Hotel - Great place for food and/or pint.

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

Dean we were in Aviemore for 4 nights a week ago and spent all of them at the Cairngorm Hotel - excellent roasts and ales!

[@dotbot5789]

Thomas Heaton looks like Domhnall Gleeson and i love it

[@patrick.771]

like your new video style! some weeks ago I waited the whole afternoon for a similar photo of a lake during sunset... and 5 seconds before pressing the shutter the sun disappeared behind a tree on the top of the opposite mountain and never came back. :)

[@tuur]

your videos are so wonderful put together and edited that it looks like you have a camera crew with you. It's a joy to watch 😁

[@scotty4418]

Great episode and particularly loved the 2nd image Thomas. In terms of your schedule,. I know you cut back during the summer period but was wondering if you were keeping publication to once a week for the foreseeable future

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

Listening and watching you photograph the tree... seems like a scientific process. Every aspect analytically plotted out. I couldn't come up with an image if I did that.

Lovely vlog Tom, don’t feel bad for shooting the yellow trees lol I really like the way you composed the first shot! Does exactly what it says in the tin!
