Hiking to Amazing Location for Landscape Photography

[@scuzzy983]

I’ve just finished reading your book Thomas and it’s fantastic, I’d encourage people to buy a copy while they still can 👌👏

[@jimarmstrong1458]

A picture book?

[@arcana1973]

@@jimarmstrong1458 each photo has an accompanying story about the experience and composition of the photo.

That place is one of my absolute favorites in the Highlands of Iceland. Sadly, I had to take down the video and wasn't in a mood to redo it. However, I did get one of my favorite photos from there. Absolutely stunnin'!

[@robert_skonblad]

I knew I recognized that ridge! I have to ask, why did you need to take down your video?

[@daniel635biturbo]

This is really funny to me, watching the video, I'm imagining your view. "Mads Peter would sure be doing a selfie on the small island, with a small bright yellow inflatable boat holding it in a rope." Anyway, you and Thomas are great inspiration.

[@chrisnigul]

I was just about to say that Mr Iversen has been to that exact location 😄

[@zenphotojourney]

I was also wondering why you had to take down the video.

[@bradybaker]

I'm glad that Mr. Heaton decided not to share the actual location here... but it still feels a little questionable. Some spots need not be revealed to the masses.

[@gastonroulstone5025]

So happy to see the X-T3 in action. Great video, motivation is needed at this moment in time.

[@paulhughes1956]

I don't know which you excel at the most: your photography skills or your cinematography skills. In this video your video skills actually overshadowed your amazing photos. Of course, the location didn't hurt. Simply awe inspiring...and I don't use that term often.

[@BrunoPina.]

Man, I love the background music. It accompanies perfectly the beautiful and tranquil scene.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Brilliant! of course, I would say that since I was there but it was brilliant. Super work there Tom!

[@Ramage7070]

Adam, when do you think your series from Iceland will start?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

@@Ramage7070 hopefully this weekend

[@Ramage7070]

@@QuietLightPhoto awesome looking forward to it.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Good Lord man, sketchy doesn’t BEGIN to describe that trail!

[@breadman86]

That last shot was absolutely unbelievable. Such a gorgeous photo. One of the things I appreciate about your channel is the number of different cameras you use: The Full-Frame Canon, the Crop Fuji, the latest "new" film camera. As someone who only owns one camera (Fuji X-T20), it's encouraging to continuously be reminded that while gear does in fact matter, the key is who is behind the camera (and of course, nature being cooperative). I can work with what I have without being discouraged, knowing that my gear is more than capable enough and I just need more practice and experience.

[@Bosmanneggie]

I'm also doing the hand thing. I use it a lot for HDR, exposing sky and foreground and stitch. Each has it's own hand signal. Pretty handy when you have a lot of pictures ;)

[@robgerity5994]

although I have been shooting 20 years professionally everything is new to me with this Covid nightmare. Learning to use my hand as a separator it’s awesome well worth it watching someone walk on the mountain that I might Have done 30 years ago sketchy doesn’t even describe it

[@johnnymllerfrandsen7684]

Reading your book give a very good inspiration and knowing that an effort will bring better photos over time. For me as a amateur this give me knowledge and encourage me to do an improvement in the composition of my photos. So reading this book and watching the videos have bring me a peace to my life, and had make my summer vacation much more fun. Keep up your great work, knowing you do a great difference for me and all the persons that follow you.

[@joewelsh1804]

Striking views and beautiful images. Thanks for sharing.

[@jvsapanza3927]

fuji needs to sponsor you for capturing amazing photos using their product

[@AllenLab]

It's nice when you sit down for your lunch break at work and notice Thomas has uploaded a new video 39 seconds ago. Love the second image. Wonderful colors in the sky and water.

[@nrice3623]

Same thing here lol

[@lizclayton8464]

Whoa! A little cliff anxiety -- even on my end. Since we are watching, I assume you survived the trip back down. Love that you are back out (with a smile on your face) and that you took us along.

[@Pg91357]

Liz Clayton my feet got a weird sensation when we see him cross those ledge!

[@zenphotojourney]

Yeah I think I would have passed on hiking that ridge. I wonder what views the other trail offered.

[@syeduzair7830]

I absolutely LOVE these videos. Your videos are soo calm and they give a peek into your creative process. As an aspiring photographer, I really look up to you.

[@BigOgLoc]

Thomas you are so inspiring and your work seems unmeasurable on your videos and photos. Cheers

[@weschilton]

Man, what an epic location! You can pretty much guarantee not many people have that lovely shot!

[@johnbenedict3325]

I sure am glad there are people like you getting those shots because there is no way I would trek that tiny little foot path to get up there. Will worth it to me to watch you do it.

[@gregscott2330]

Most impressive, in my opinion probably your best. All you tubers that I subscribe to are helping me recover from the triple bypass that I had last week. Be safe and be well.

[@NoxonPhotography]

Love these images and it was even better to see you excited about the shot.

[@craiggibson9821]

Amazing stills, drone and video footage. Loved it. Thank you.

[@harsh8426]

watched this in 4K wow the detail & crispiness of the video is amazing!!

[@MichaelShainblum]

That shot at 6:26 is just stunning. I dig the shot at 12:21 too. I think they work well as standalone images. Hope all is well man!

[@gcarmichael]

Great to see the best of the best working together. Fantastic video!

[@medwynroberts]

Enjoyable video. Evoked the feeling of landscape photography, not many 'tubers manage it but you certainly have here.

[@stevengangwisch1792]

On the X-T4 (not sure about the X-T3) you can have it save the self timer setting. Shooting Setting > Save Self-Timer Setting (ON)

[@NickandRachel]

So beautiful there! Thanks for sharing

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Great video with some beautiful scenery, what an amazing place. Loved the photographs you took too.

[@nickbristol3457]

What an amazing place. Great video Thomas...quite enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@andrewyang1446]

The hand shot is a really good idea! Thanks, Thomas!

[@Stracman]

Quick shot of the hand! What a good idea

[@Duade]

Wonderful video Tom, really enjoyed it, glad you made it down safe. Cheers, Duade

[@ThePandaPhotographer]

I am about to do some landscape of Oregon. I have no choice due to saving hitting a low. Need to make a difficult and sad choice to live out but the fun part is that I can edit and show you my landscape photos soon on my channel. But Thomas Heaton, thank you for giving me the push. I am thanking you because after listening to some of your videos, this will be the best choice for me and my mental health. So again, thanks for the strength, friend.

[@andychattaway5620]

Whoa - Absolutely Stunning Tom - All of it. 👌

[@albertfebry]

I subcribed to your channel around 4 or 5 years ago. But sadly I gave up landscape photography like 3 years ago because of busy jobs, and never watch your video since then.. But suddenly i jumped to your video last week and thanks to your video i have a plan to start chase my passions on photography once again.. Love your jobs Thomas

[@Mcguppy]

The drone footage is just jaw-dropping, what a landscape. I can understand it's hard to photograph

[@Alister_Benn]

Beautiful man. What a glorious night that was

[@macronencer]

Gorgeous images from one of the most awe-inspiring locations I think I've ever seen you visit. Magnificent stuff!

[@julieholland9639]

I am feeling nervous for your trip down in the darkness!! great image of a beautiful place

[@robgerity5994]

Julie Holland I was thinking the same thing, you’re actually gonna walk down that in the dark

[@foveonyc]

Thank you, Thomas ! Excellent work! Really great journey!!!

[@chrisearle1357]

Hi Thomas. My daughters bought me your book as a present. Outstanding and inspirational. Thanks!

[@sapphieburry5216]

The images ❤️ the landscape ❤️ Adam's hair ❤️ the ridges though 😲

[@matthewtalbot5876]

Amazing scenery Thomas. Thanks you. Your shots's are amazing mate.

[@photographyjapan]

I like watching you a thousand times better Tom, than doing the vlog in your office. I enjoy your takes a the B rolls and how you approach your angles..

[@chriss2761]

Tom another great video, What a place👌 two beautiful images loving the drone footage to 👍

[@markjacksonphotos]

Nothing like a bit of tense drama watching you walk that ridge. The islands look like they are just floating on the surface in the first image. Brilliant.👍🙂

[@CAYENNEOREZ]

Nice work, Thomas. My wife and I love your book too.

[@davidroman2251]

I get the excitement Thomas, absolutely beautiful!

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Time with you and Adam is time well spent. I would have fallen on that ridge no doubt. The older I get, the less sure I am about sketchy walks like that. Well worth it for those images. I'm looking forward to seeing how your film images from this trip turned out. Plenty of stuff to do volume II of your book in another few years.

[@kaischmidt730]

Thanks for that handshot tip! Such a simple solution for something that is driving me nuts since ever I started experimenting with bracketing!

[@samdensleyphotography]

Goes along with the not really planning thing. Unexpected path that lead to some awesome photography! Thanks Tom!

[@crowtheri]

You're mad you guys - things you do for vlogs and taking us along. Its appreciated, Tom. Nice one pal :)

[@rosssayer6524]

That ridge you walked along would have stopped me, your final image was brilliant.

[@steveschnetzler5471]

Love the "shooting the hand" trick, thanks.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Fantastic as always Thomas! thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.

[@mjaneci3]

That water is so still and calm looking...

[@U.s.e.r.3493]

Mate, really upped your game 10x levels with this vid!

[@andyprime57]

For me, the first composition was sublime, the tones sit perfectly with the environment. Nice work Tom 👍

[@aerob1033]

I like the abstract image a lot, but this time I'm all in for the big colorful vista with the sky on fire. Lovely stuff!

[@williammiller7328]

A great one Thomas. Love the drone work in this as well as the still images. Sweet! And yes, that ridge looked very sketchy!

[@bricksbybrian]

Dude! So good to see you back out traveling in the field. These are my favorite types of videos!!

[@TheLDunn1]

The drone footage was impressive and really adds to the video setting the scene. The two images of the islands were fantastic. The climb/walk along the ridge looks a bit buttock clenching mind!....I was surprised at the end that you were saying you needed to go back down because it was getting ‘a bit cold’ and not because of lack of light in which to do the decent!!

[@martinjplant]

Doesn’t really get dark in Iceland that time of year.

[@TheScottab]

Another great video Thomas. This was the first video of yours that I have watched that was interrupted by a commercial. Not that it is a problem, just something that caught me by surprise.

[@Mrbluesplayer43]

Good to see you back in the wild. PS. enjoying the book. Great to see the images in the flesh.

[@LadyTracyOfTheDisk]

I have to remind myself, when I get anxiety watching you walk the knife's edge there, that you must have survived to upload it. But it still freaks me out! The images were worth it, though.

[@martyd5819]

TH...'This is sketchy'. AG...'Excuse me can I pass by please'. The extent you go to to provide for 'our' entertainment is much appreciated. Images were stunning.

[@leavesfalldown3191]

love it. if I get a chance to listen to some music when on my hiking trips I always choose music like Delta Parole or Guns N Roses, the rawness is the best with nature.

[@geoffstairmand3747]

A video with three of my favorite landscape photographers! But as a sufferer of vertigo I found time on that knife edge ridge extremely disturbing - you would never get me up there. Glad you are safe.

[@Tepaja]

Dont know why, but Icelandic landscape specially those higland views make me almost cry. Sad or happy, I dont know. But I just love those views and specially your photos from there. Magical place. Visited one time Iceland but sadly wasnt able to visit higlands. Maybe next time I'm lucky.

[@djwilmer7252]

I love your videos. You inspire me to take photos.

[@rouleurcoaster]

Simply stunning

[@thornton]

Really enjoyed this combination of photography and travel, so good! And great to see the insight in to your shots and gear.

[@andrewblock7118]

Wow, that is just gorgeous!

[@True_North_Canada_Eh]

Thank you for sharing your awesome journey!

[@cgriggsiv]

Beautiful photography as always Nice to see you out with friends for another epic adventure of landscape photography video that you get the chance to share with us all And I see that you are using a small trailer with solar panels excellent

[@Steph_davis]

I hope we get to see the film shots! I just got my first film camera, so far loving it. The shots of the island were beautiful

[@zenphotojourney]

I bet he'll have a video with the film shots soon. I'm looking forward to it too!

[@michaelmeade]

Nicely put together! That ridge is scary! Lucky you had a calm day!

[@ironian24]

Young and fit to be carrying all that gear on your back, wow. great vlog as usual.

[@thomaspopple2291]

I have started watching quite a few different photography channels over the last couple years but yours is one of the few I continue to actively follow and am always glad when I see a new video of yours pop up. Though I understand it will probably never happen but I would like to invite the f4 gang out to where I live for some incredible photography. I live in southern Utah, pretty much right in the middle of the big 5 national parks out here. But it isn't the parks I want to invite you to. It is the millions of acres of BLM land that surrounds me. Unbelievable scenery and nary a soul in sight. Nice accommodations within an hour of some of the most amazing areas I have ever been to so no need to rough it camping in the desert. Let me know if at all interested and we can talk more. In the mean time, thanks for providing us with great content and inspiration.

[@susanfirth2279]

I could hardly watch that hike...sketchy? That was insane. Be careful boys!. Great image.

[@ShawnsImagination]

Fantastic video Mr. Heaton. Thank you 🙏

[@TJIzzy]

I just got all amped up to do video, now I want to do landscape photos again haha. Thanks Thomas, great storytelling like always!

[@tonygreenwoodN10]

Great drone footage (and X-T3 shots of course!) - bet you're glad it wasn't too windy on the Ridge of Death!!

[@juliewillson3378]

Stunning images. If that trip up was sketchy, I can’t imagine the trip down afterwards.

[@Zanagash]

Wow ! Definitely one of your best shots ever !! That’s one for the next book ! Got the first one and love it !

[@dianevose9655]

Love both images, those small islands are so beautiful. Must admit I was terrified watching you walking the ridge, very brave!

[@Sparkchaser91]

Jealous, very jealous! Love Iceland! Love that shot!

[@JereTravels]

That’s such a epic location! So beautiful!

[@kilo11881]

Absolute magic, friend. Loved the music around 9:30 as well!!

[@ellyelzinga01]

Nice video, it is so beautiful there in Iceland! I especially love the second picture! And thanks for the tip on the hand in front of the lens after shooting a pano / other images that belong together, I've been doing this for a while now and it is so helpful..

[@lisarobertson7011]

Incredible scenery and location Wow - I don’t know how you manage to hike, taking incredible images, make a video and fly a drone! Pretty darn impressive.

[@grixate]

What a great video again! Was like a little journey for me right now 😍

[@casperghst42]

I got Timer settings on Fn2 (better than having to use a menu), and if you use bracketing then it’ll fire off the frames as fast as you can count to 3. Cool place. Cool photos.

[@maxencelemoine4190]

Great video, and great photographs (the first one, love it !), thank you for your work :)

[@grahamallen3941]

Lovely photographs Thomas. I love Iceland as I used to work there a few years ago. Took a lot of transparencies and a lot when we were flying into the airport. Not easy when you are flying the worlds largest cargo aircraft!! My old Minolta 7000 was great but used to slow down because of the bitter cold in winter!! Graham. All the best.📷📷

[@grahamallen3941]

That ridge was so sketchy I thought you were all busy checking your life insurance policies!!

[@1young-geezer]

THAT PRECIPITOUS EDGE!! Yes, it was obvious what a terror it was, and I was very nervous as the sun went down and you had to come back on it. Thankfully watching this video was proof positive that you made it, but, man, between your 360 grabs and the drone shots, yowwwwww-eee! I love that couple islands, something about that long sharp beak that made it unreal.

[@noelleperrotta4944]

Looks like a scary hike! I love your videos. Thank you

[@trevhillphotography7852]

Keeping some top notch company in your tour group, I spotted a couple of chaps who know their photography. I’d be learning as much as possible from them. Nice video!

[@kophotograph1803]

Excellent light and shot! 🙌

[@TheMalve70]

I'm so happy to see a great video after work. Thanks Thomas, cheers from italy
