Just started watching... The intro Thomas was brilliant. Well played on the acronym, actually laughed out loud. Will come back after seeing the rest of the video

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Haha, that's good to know 👍

[@barryryder_photography]

Enjoyed that video. In regards to the comparison between Infrared and the Nikons B/W convert. My son said that the infrared looked like a picture at Christmas ( hes 6 lol). Its a place id like to visit myself but you are not the only one to say its a luck of the draw type place. Panos both look good, I prefer the colour version personally. Hows the Nikon doing?

[@LarryFasnacht]

Sooo don't get scammed by a TWAT. Good info. I actually feel for this on another channel when it first came out. Fortunately I figured out what was going on before it cost me any money. Thanks for the PSA on the TWAT's.

[@pacoedw]

I like the infrared more, simply because in the regular BW the vegetation and the ground are too similar in grey value. With the IR you have that contrast an variation on the island.

[@juanQuedo]

+1👍

[@Indrakusuma_a]

Agree on that. In regular BW there's nothing striking in the image to caught our eyes attention, the island looks bare. But in IR, we get the texture details on the island, contrast against the dark clouds behind, easily getting our eyes to look straight at the island.

[@jimgraves4197]

This! 👆

[@dirkstadil8621]

I agree 100%

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

I've had an internet nightmare today, so this video is late. I have also taken the liberty of adding a pre-roll warning message about scam comments, so be aware & don't get scammed today. Finally. I forgot to plug my book in the video, so here is a link to my shop where you will find books & prints :) thomasheaton.co.uk/shop/ I hope you enjoy the video.

[@pennyfisherman8540]

I have been watching your videos for six years! My high school had a photography class and I never stopped. When I worked too much to get out and shoot I would watch your videos to feel like I was still going out and taking pictures. When I did have the time to get out, I would find motivation in your videos. I finally ordered your calendar for the first time and I'm excited to have a signed print from the guy I've been virtually shooting with for years! I truly love these videos.

[@davidsargent2544]

Same here. Been watching since 2016. Can't get enough.

[@alecwillis647]

The intro was one of the best ever. The last shot was just wonderful

[@jr-wv4qw]

I’m a simple man. I see a new Heaton vid, I click.

[@marcel9568]

And you like.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Love it.

[@tomwedge308]

The intro was hilarious, but also something that you will never forget and therefore you will not fall prey to the scammers.

[@joewelsh1804]

Loved the disclaimer at the start. Preferred the IR shot - I think it was more impactful.

[@alisonlyons4691]

Wow !! St Kilda l was glued to this. What a camp spot, pristine. IR Mmm not sure, nice to see the detail of the land, and as you say a bit of a snow storm. Its artistic for sure, but l do love a bit of atmosphere so praps l prefer the natural photo. Hey what a choice 😁 l would have had a hard job leaving without a photo of the birds in the landscape. Thanks for the warning at the beginning, such a blow that you have this going on, youre not alone. Big thanks Thomas for taking us along, deffinately one of the best. Take care Alioban xx

[@GodIsReal]

Wow Tom... first you complain about the horrible misty conditions, next you create this classic masterpiece of photography.

[@henrahmagix]

just had the biggest hardest laugh I've had in a long time from that intro, was seeing it coming and thought "nah you wouldn't would you" and bust out laughing 😂

[@AlvesDarlann]

IR in the first photo was insane, I wasn’t expecting to like that 👌

[@bunkermagnus]

Man the IR conversion really made that trip for you, wonderful images those IR ones, very crispy!

[@NigelHolme]

Absolutely loved the Public Service Announcement 😂 Nicely done. Great vid too 👍

[@Han-uz1tl]

The infrared is hauntingly beautiful.

[@billbarraclough9653]

One of your best, Tom. Can only echo Barry's comment on the intro.....also laughed out loud!

[@Marian-ve9ur]

I hope I can express myself well... I'm from Argentina. I started watching your videos recently. And every time I see them, my chest fills with emotion, because of the way you talk, the landscapes you photograph from a country I don't know, make me cry with joy. I really appreciate your work. Greetings from Buenos Aires

[@psfphotography]

The IR image is outstanding! It makes me think differently 'about' the image/scene.

[@iggypoppers]

I like the natural shot of the island. The infrared makes it look like there is snow on the island. I like seeing the reality of a scene.

[@MHLandscape]

Great video, that intro had me PMSL. I don't think I could have stomached that boat trip, it does seem like an awful lot of money, but a great experience none the less. For me definitely the IR image, for the same reasons you mentioned in the video.

[@gsansoucie]

The infrared shot of the island makes you appear even more badass as it looks like the island is snow capped and you are out there in the winter :-)

[@keith-knittel]

Hands down the best anti-scammer message I've ever seen! Beautiful shots

[@DavidKinnear3]

I prefer the IR photo of the island, because the white foliage creates a nice contrast with the surrounding water and sky. Also, I love snow!

[@allansisson355]

IR The white looked like the best snowfall. It just grabs your attention and you look a little longer. This video was beautifully put together, great job Thomas I loved it.

[@cragfast06]

Loved the subtle hidden sentiment in your PSA at the beginning. I’m still chuckling to myself.

[@chuckstrange8832]

I really like the infrared image, I love the contrast.

[@LTChurchillphotography]

I prefer the IR image of the island, the brightness on the grass draws my eye to the island which then draws the attention to the clouds against the darker sea.

[@montanaguy51]

I miss you putting the images at the end of the videos. I liked that!! 🙂

[@stephenn6618]

Infrared one for me. The island is your subject and you have way more detail on it in the ir image vs visible light 😊👍🏻

[@MarkGilligan4]

That opening was great informative and love the acronym

[@AleRodrigues]

thanks for another amazing video!

[@AleRodrigues]

by the way, I like the infrared more!

[@scotty4418]

Great intro Thomas, straight out the Gavin Hardcastle school of intros. What a unique experience and grateful for you taking us along on your trip, the images were fabulous. The IR version was my favourite of the two due to the additional detail it was displaying and loved the final image too. Think I would have been spewing my breakkie back up based on the clips of the crossing.

[@Handycrabby]

I'd have to say I prefer the regular B&W. The ir looks like it could have been shot in the Arctic (snow covered) so feel the B&W is more genuine. But I can see why ir would be liked... just my preference.

[@SeanBreadsell]

I tell you what, that last image was absolutely amazing. Expensive trip, a shame it is so expensive...still be great to go!!!

[@alexworldsg]

I prefer the infrared shot. The details are clearer and more exciting to look at. The clouds are more dramatically beautiful.

[@jonkayl9416]

Loving this Video. Best photography adventure video so far Thomas.

[@dr.coconut]

I definitely prefer the infrared shot. The Z7 ends up making the rock so flat and muted. In contrast, the fuji brings out that brilliant white and more detail. It makes the image something special, while the Z7 makes the subject less interesting.

[@SimonPhillipsPhoto]

I love that inferred version of your first shot, the reason why is it just catches my eye more, there's more texture and boldness where the Nikon shot just looks flat and dull when you compare the island in both scenes. Great you done this even though it wasn't intentionally a compassion. now to watch the rest of the video that I am really enjoying.

[@Karthwarr]

When that final T came on screen I nearly spat out my beer. Cheers Thomas!

[@alanneilson6811]

Infrared 100% reason I love shooting that way as well as others have said there is more detail in the shot.

[@karenclyne4054]

I do like an acronym! Well done you, for making your viewers & followers aware. I'm setting my heart on Skye for next year's camp. Keep up the good work.

[@hilarywhite0]

The inclusion of the boat in the first photo makes it truly epic! You need it for scale, absolutely amazing photograph! Great video as always Mr. Heaton.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Yeah, I didn't realise how important that boat would be until I got home and imported my images 👍

[@Ed.Focuss]

Fantastic!

[@charlesgough3528]

That final shot...wow..she's a keeper.

[@AndyCPugh]

What a great mnemonic to guard against scammers.

[@rickdenbraber6869]

Thank you for taking us to the wild places where the majority of us average people may never have the privilege of going. Hounds of the Baskerville fog? When the first moon landing happened they interviewed some old guy in some state near Texas and he said he didn’t believe it it was just a TV show made in a studio and the earth is flat….. I saw the fog and thought he’s in a studio lol 😂 You are so privileged to shoot on location and we are so fortunate that you share in such a stellar way. Thank You 🙏

[@jamesattenborough2597]

Fabulous stuff!

[@mamu5773]

Awesome video and photos as always!

[@davidskinner274]

Really enjoyed this, thanks Thomas

[@MikefromQueens]

This is terrific

[@rolsonn]

Love the infrared island and clouds photo. I see more detail and contrast in the clouds.

[@karenbergmann209]

Last image is amazing! Quite the adventure!

[@UnclaimedClock]

Love the pano IR shot!

[@RogerKeith74]

And yet another great video. Thank you so very much. :)

[@terryohagan6683]

Love the acronym!

[@henrysutton5813]

Loved the video work and storytelling along with the photos on this one!

[@samuelvarga3223]

I love that last image! 😍

[@adammurray9940]

Wildly dramatic amazing photos!!!!

[@kyleshortes4163]

Coming back to channel after...i dont know years of a break from YT as a whole. I remember watching you back in the day of hand held cams and Nisi filters. Glad to see you're still going strong.

[@RiposteThis]

The infrared makes the island look like a mini snow capped mountain.

[@DavidUstick]

Thank you for bringing us along for your trip to the isle

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Stunning location Thomas, some amazing images, love the infrared pano at 16.07, thanks for sharing.

[@jmthier]

love the pano. love the IR style! so creative!

[@robertbellomy2]

Love the acronym!🤜💥🤛

[@DPImageCapturing]

Love the acronym!!!

[@nrice3623]

Very well put together video Thomas! Another great adventure for us to enjoy 😊

[@mpearce888]

Loved the scenery and wildlife! Looks like an incredible place.

[@peer-olafkremer4715]

I like the infrared picture because the is more contrast and more to discover. As you said, it raises questions. 😄

[@CalvinOnTheCoast]

The IR shot was stunning

[@stevejohnson1231]

Brilliant acronym Thomas, love it.

[@AJYT_]

loved the start!! 🤣 and the Vid!!

[@johnnymossville]

That final image is beautiful. really great.

[@relaxingnaturewalks]

Love the IR picture and overall ambiance of the video!!

[@ezbron]

LOVED that Intro against Scamers! hahaha WEL DONE! Epic video too!

[@BruceLauderdale]

Amazing Thomas, I’ve been waiting for this one after you mentioned the trip! 🙏🏻

[@wendynewing8834]

Thomas Heaton at his best. I thoroughly enjoy these photo adventures.

[@bmuses6092]

Infrared…the grass looks like snow and that just adds to the chilling effect of the clouds.

[@M31glow]

👍👍👍 Great post!

[@jeanlouisjlpphotodronevide4499]

Superbe photos , really like the infrared !

[@harryjamesroth]

Hahahaha loved that opening and classy way to deal with the total bell-ends out there. Cracking video as always.

[@colingreen73]

TWAT think I’ve got that. Nice and easy to remember thanks Tom for keeping us safe on the internet.

[@mitzimckay7934]

Definitely the infrared version. It really shows the details of the mountain and looks like snow. Definitely more interesting. Loved watching the whole experience. Fantastic!

[@dominiclester3232]

Nice, thanks!

[@kentaufderheide8454]

Great Video!

[@KellyPettit]

Your vlogs are honestly better than any TV show. You have such talent in all fields: Photography, video, directing, visualization, sound, light, and so much more. I've been watching for 6 years and you have found your nitch and road along the way. Keep going because someday soon major publishing company is going to swallow this up. It will be a bittersweet moment for a lot of us but always happy to see success. Thank you!!

[@tommoors9165]

Thanks for sharing the location, you are inspiring and make me want to get out, camp, photo and sharing let's me know what is possible next time I'm in the UK!

[@antonoat]

Absolutely killed it with this film Tom, superb images too. Of the first we both preferred the infrared version though the conventional b&w was still very good. Thanks for sharing this with us all, amazing place! 👏👍😀

[@CMule32]

It was fun to see how excited you were! IR is pretty fun!

[@LiamGalashan]

Tom you really know how to capture the moment in your videos. The music and composition is just great. I hope to do my own videos at some point when out in the fells of the lakes for my own pleasure and you’ve definitely motivated me to do so

[@allysmith7081]

Epic location

[@andreas_engel]

It's a real pleasure to accompany you to those wonderful locations again and again. Thank you very much !!! :)

[@kevinjmurrphotography]

Thomas this place is absolutely beautiful, looks like an incredible experience. The infrared images are very interesting to see as well.

[@manwithaplan47]

I think I preferred the natural shot of the distant island over the IR. It's moodier and I don't think IR works that well when water dominates the frame. I loved the second IR image, the pano, however 👌

[@davidgonpt]

Thanks for another amazing trip, history and adventure and photography. You make me want to try some landscape photography. This is not an usually kind of photography that I love, but you changed my mind. Well done. Thanks again for all the videos!

[@mateuszzdun9061]

Hey Tom, thank you for taking us on yet another adventure, pure inspiration! What I found interesting about this video is that I would go for totally different compositions and would have way different attitude towards capturing landscapes of St. Kilda. And that's what I love about photography, it is so boundless and just depends on our own way of looking at world, taste and sense of aesthetics (which is so subjective). Thank you for this wonderful Scottish experience! Take care :) PS I'm going for infrared image - reminds me of an iceberg somewhere near Greenland.

[@gnuhapi]

A very FUN video depicting a spot which I will likely never see.

[@paulverroche9458]

I definitely like the infared more. Stunning

[@arkosarkar343]

I like the IR one, its just so striking.

[@kornoth9339]

The ir pano was spectacular! Really shows that even on a grey day there are shots to be had.

[@Rob.1340]

Great intro. Like the infrared more because it held my attention longer. Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
