Watch out for pesky scammers using my profile picture and trying to sell you Crypto in the comments. I will never try and sell you stuff in the comments... apart from my book, you can buy my book :) thomasheaton.co.uk/product/my-book/ If you're unsure, look for the 'tick' next to my name.

[@Fessoid]

ahahah, 3:10 "what wold be a chanses?"

[@markthorliebmann]

plagued by anxiety that keeps me from traveling, I truly appreciate the mundanity of simple photography over high contrast, golden hour, mountainscapes.

[@gillkaramani5545]

You have an eye for beauty in the simplicity of nature……… which is complex in itself ……those three together go hand in hand and should win an award!

[@peterc2248]

As a disabled bloke, I am happy just to get out a take a few mundane images. Watching KZbin video's like yours in not only inspirational but allows me to experience the places you go. Keep it up :-)

[@jr-wv4qw]

I feel like being disabled (I'm assuming wheelchair) you would be good at street photography. You could just set up in a location and wait on people to get framed corectly and do it pretty stealthily!

[@broken12367]

@@jr-wv4qw only issue is you’re very vulnerable in a wheelchair to being mugged for your equipment. I’ve known people to have phones and various tech stolen simply because you’re disabled and can’t give chase. Despicable but it happens.

[@desgardner7169]

Travel restrictions has messed up peoples travel plans up big time, so most people have had to adapt to whats local. Thank you for reminding us of what can be found with a little insight of what we can all do with little expence......

[@nevillewatkins4997]

I think you might be right and things are shifting towards the more intimate style of photography. If it does it will be because of videos like this. I think it's a good thing myself. Epic landscapes are great, but most people can't go chasing off all over the country. And there is something rewarding about getting detail out of things up close.

[@mhuser78]

What a very unique landscape! Its humbling and fascinating to know that water shaped those rocks. Natures artwork, always astounding!

[@daveneel3441]

I love the endless intimate textures in nature. Keep thinking outside the box. I so enjoy and look forward to your videos Thomas. Thank you. Dave

[@bolleolympus]

The picture you did not like, is my favorite. A lot of beautifull natural colors, and a rest for the eyes. It is a picture I would be proud to hang on my wall.

[@aniketshrestha7598]

The second picture ... Shows all the skill experience and soul to Heaton photography . After seeing all those "epic" shots .. this shows more of a Heaton photography for me .

[@philipcolet2961]

Great video, especially for those of us who don’t live near epic landscapes. Loved your trifecta, it can really be anything. Flora, snails, worms, fauna... the key is to see it.

[@jimwlouavl]

Stunning second image. Thanks for addressing the tendency of influencers to emphasize the inaccessible. It’s not a new phenomenon as anyone old enough to have read photography magazines will remember.

[@genetaylor8876]

I often find that if the light is not good for the big wide open landscapes, I end up walking around looking for the interesting closeups with color and texture. They tend to be the hardest to compose and light properly. But it is the challenge of seeing something interesting, then getting that image that matches what you see in your mind. I love this video.

[@Leffe49]

Those 3 Images are Fine Photography Photos. Those would be marvelous as big prints on the wall. ❤👌

[@lyndapassey2752]

Thank you Thomas for a great video showing us the beauty that can be found in intimate landscape photography. The images are very lovely in their simplicity. I love the composition and colours. They really complement each other.

[@dilus13]

Lovely individual images but even better as a Triptych, just spent a week walking on Orkney’s beaches doing exactly the same, coloured rocks, patterns in sand etc so much beauty when you look closer 👍

[@ManuelRiestra]

I've found that this type of photography -more as a fine art creation- is a certain kind of meditation. You really get into the situation and flow with what that place gives you.

[@anthonymara4533]

Lovely as ever Thomas. Don't be too jealous of us over here in the states though. Every area I've been too here has its own unique challenges, my Appalachian mountains have a blanket of haze through spring and summer that never lifts, the entire eastern seaboard is a light show at night... and good lord.. the powerlines.... I have been in the middle of nowhere, civilization hours away with powerlines soaring overhead.

[@deepsgnips]

That magnificent yellow rock!! Must have been there for ages, untouched

[@gerryphilpott9766]

Be careful what you ask for when you say the beautiful summer eves in the U.S. Yes, there is a window and those nights are glorious, but 90 degree F with mosquitos in the evening makes me look longingly to the UK and Scandinavia quite often. Loved the triptych! Inspired me to look at the small things right at my feet.

[@chrisf5475]

Absolutely amazing start to finish. your approach, the video production, music and images you’ve captured. Just wow!

[@Highdepthfilms]

The first in the series of your triptych images is definitely the best of the three and could stand alone. I especially like the balance between the lower left and upper right with the dividing S-curve. geat image.

[@ImPkhanal]

Felt good When I heard my country name "NEPAL" from one of the best landscape photographer🥰

[@andreas_engel]

The sound of silence and seagulls ... I love that so much. Thank you for bringing those fine moments into our lives. :)

[@sebxiou-lifestyle4465]

Great to see you back! This tryptic is one of your best results for ages. No van talk; no talk of mountain meals; no general musing - just excellent photography and explanations. Thank you and welcome back.

[@zenphotojourney]

Love the triptych! 👍 The call in the middle of your Squarespace promo was actually kind of funny. That's real life right there, people calling when it's a bad time, some pictures just not working but some things coming together beautifully. Thanks for putting these videos together for us!

[@antonoat]

Proof you don't have to travel far when you're a competent photographer, great images Tom.

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

The triptych works perfectly. Love a good sunset on the beach. I live in Newport Beach in Southern California. Five minute drive to beautiful beaches.

[@sunfishproductions525]

The three images without the middle stone. Epic!

[@golfer17h]

Very beautiful absract shots . Very well captured.

[@sinead7156]

Those three images together are stunning, will definitely be keeping an eye out from now on when walking on the coast

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

I think you might be right about the shift , I just think we have drowned inthe standard epic travel shots, while I love them too , I just think more individual unique landscape gives us more to think about in terms of our own creativity. That pebble at 7.05 lovely, love the triptych

[@imagennativa]

Fantastic images with those rocks and it's lines and textures...well done !!

[@WelshPhotographer]

OMG! Living here on the South Wales coastline I know how slippery those green algae rocks are and you're walking over them with the Fuji over your shoulder on the tripod! Yep, composition is everything when shooting intimate images on the shoreline. Bet you were wishing you had a ball head on instead yeah?! Your shoreline is rewarding, stunning rock formations, mine here are solid grey!

[@Speanz]

Very beautiful, definitely they need to be posted on Instagram 3 posts will be beautifully combined

[@duncansteward4331]

Agree ---- the epic landscape has had its day

[@gharrop1]

All your films are very interesting Thomas, but this one felt more inspiring about the art of achievable photography and using observation and composition to achieve a superb result. Its not all about, rugged outdoor trekking, camper vans and survival techniques! Those videos are very entertaining to watch, passively….this one was much more motivational to encourage experimentation and a call to try something… to experiment…Many thanks for a very useful nudge Thomas!

[@seantomlinson3320]

That was fun. What a neat idea. That yellow potato rock works great in the first shot.

[@danmaynard120]

I love how the curves in the two side images draw your eye to the middle image. It’s like a mind trick I love it.

[@timshields8720]

The subtle inclusions of dry humor cracked me up sir. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

[@AnshunHE]

After being in Wedding photography for a few years somehow dulled my passion but seeing these images really ignites the passion to go wander and shoot again. Thx and Keep it up!

[@AndreasLudwigPhD]

You are making my day, as usual. The ending was just hilarious. What better to play in the back while editing pictures from Seychelle beaches.

[@RM831BC4E4]

Loved this Vlog Thomas. Absolutely gorgeous images. I love the fact that’s you can adapt and share such images with us week on week. Thank you.

[@richardhale9664]

What a refreshing change! Lovely images.

[@scothowe539]

I love that kind of photography. I recently found myself shooting textures and shadows falling on the wooden planks of an old pedestrian bridge. I could spend all day doing stuff like that.

[@goetzadamgageik7451]

Really enjoyed the images - I do love them much better than previous stuff - I'm just so fond of these colours...

[@justinmeaden6281]

Great images and a good idea to intentionally set out for a set of three images. I really like the centre of the three, lovely contrast of colours and lines, gorgeous. Other two really good too.

[@actiaint]

Those rock formations are very cool - I would travel far to photograph them - we all undervalue whats in front of us, thats being human!

[@glynparry6598]

Thanks Tom. Tomorrow morning I’m going to my local rocky beach. Your triptych is beautiful mate. So simple yet so stunning. Well done 👍

[@jackiescott4282]

OH my goodness you triptych is absolutely gorgeous. A little homesickness creeping in for me. 🐨🦘🇦🇺🇬🇧

[@trypersistence]

Fantastic rock patterns images created, Thomas!

[@DCFotographs]

I always love this minimalist type of photography. I never knew what the proper term was, I'm glad you posted on this. It really does help understand the art I'm chasing.

[@JJ-ef7lb]

Wonderful tryptic! That first image was lovely….really nice 👌 👍

[@johnrandle755]

Loving this vid. Very inspirational. As usual I particularly like the slant that it's not all about the photography but also about getting out there and just 'being'.

[@anthonyramsden5645]

Awesome. I learned a lot from this. I hope you're right that the epic photography is slipping in favor. I love more honest and intimate captures.

[@verlenelewis9866]

I absolutely loved the third image you took for your triptych, the colors and shapes are very relaxing. Something that could be put on the wall.

[@danielhenzphotography]

Looks like you shot those images on Saturn or Jupiter. Photography can get you everywhere, even in Space. Simple and beautiful.

[@dentonator96]

I love this channel. Been here for years. Still my favorite. Thanks!

[@neddanison9202]

I loved your throwaway image of the colors! There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

[@mollyanderson449]

What a glorious location and absolutely beautiful images. This is the kind of stuff I live for!

[@hassanscottodierno9284]

Thanks for the video this week. I get value from seeing the scenery (we are still in lockdown here), and just to see you find beauty in the details, makes me excited to go out and look for the details in life

[@Rainy78]

Very nicely done. 2nd video Im seeing on Triptych photography and I must say, fantastic job! I love the idea of triptych photography. It ads more to your story ❤

[@bearaclive]

You're absolutely right about how the whole lockdown period has enabled those of us who would have normally ventured further afield from home to secure those grand vistas to look more deeply at our own local environment - in a different way, and certainly on a different scale. Each of the images in your triptych is lovely, but they work so well together. Really nice work.

[@robertdavis1255]

Thanks for sharing again... love the location & results..yes the three pics are great for compositions... cheers 😀

[@stevenbridge]

Thanks Tom I really liked the Triptych. You gave me some good ideas to shoot down at our beach. Our beach isn't as interesting as yours but at least the weather is usually nice in the summer. I always look forward to your videos and find myself saying to myself "he should be posting soon". Keep up the good work.

[@sandrakennedy4610]

Love love love love love these three photos!!!

[@ianhamer4294]

Really liked all 3 images Thomas but not as a triptych. Great video again and so good to see you so relaxed.

[@len.whistler]

I like your logo - the 4 angle-of-view outlines.

[@johnround8311]

The three images are dashing. Adding a pebble or my case adding a flower along side another is good stuff.

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

Loved it. Particularly that middle image. Your videos are great. The fact it's not ALL about the pictures, it's the Van, the hills, the sea, the space. Keep it up

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Triptych Video, thanks for sharing, Have a great rest of your week

[@chrishall6364]

Three beautiful images that work very well together👍🏻

[@tonypearcey716]

It works.....love the three images, and the beach looks amazing! Cheers.

[@ericerickson6537]

Tom good video. I do this all the time and always come home with something. I too live in flat, no water land. The great Midwest of the states. It takes work to make something from nothing but that is what artist do. Love shooting here in Ohio.

[@pattyhertogh9294]

The 3 images turned out great! They look nice as a set, but my favorite is the single pebble. That is an awesome shot!!

[@CAYENNEOREZ]

I love your comments about landscape photography possibly shifting away from the epic, saturated style to a more natural style. I've been wanting to see more of this for quite some time now, especially as post-processing software seems to become a more and more important element of the finished product. I enjoy seeing pretty pictures and doing post processing myself but I think it's time to get back to what really matters. Nature.

[@seoirse68]

The 3 images work wonderfully well! Nice one Tom

[@geosims01]

Glad to see your book back in stock. Placed my order yesterday. Looking forward to the delivery. Great video as always.

[@U.A.Frederic]

Thank you Thomas, great video and very inspiring. I look all your videos and love the way you describe the compositions.

[@johnbianchi6430]

Nice change from the mountains. The first photo of the yellow rock, and perhaps all the photos, might improve with a bucket of water thrown over the rocks to deepen their colors. So, checklist for photographing the beach; camera, tripod, backpack, pail and shovel. The triptych is a nice touch and develops a theme to the photos.

[@tjsinva]

Yes, roadside opportunities are always a welcome treat. Triptychs seem to be in vogue at the moment. 👍 🥂

[@keepexploring8980]

The third one is absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@jillmayes139]

Gorgeous balance with the curves and the hints of green ... makes me want to get out with the camera x

[@pmr5346]

Really enjoyed this video, as usual. Great idea to look for intimate subjects. The triptych works very well and I love the patterns in the rocks. Great inspiration thanks.

[@janwilson9485]

Loved the shots (nice yellow stone!) and also find wandering around looking for the less 'epic' is therapeutic. Keep up the good work!

[@1337Jogi]

While presenting your first image you changed from ambient music to the ambient noises from seagulls. Really made a great atmosphere I think. Keep doing it like that if the opportunity comes up.

[@futureexperience]

Lovely triptych of images! Especially enjoyed the small detail of those patterns in the rocks.

[@samarth9341]

Love it Thomas! The best thing about you and Adam is that both of you create such pleasing minimalistic images out of nothing. Looking back my images, I have improved Soo much and part of it is you! Thank you again🙏😊

[@MadsPeterIversen]

It definitely works! I really like the first one you got. There's a very nice feeling of being drawn into the photo, which many abstract photos lack :)

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Thnks, man. Glad you liked it.

[@j.k.photography3664]

Absolutely gorgeous tryptich!

[@janetelsworthy1710]

Love your video, as always. You inspired me to go up the mountain here in Cape Town yesterday, to take photos of the Protea flowers to make my first triptych!

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

Wow really love the triptych Tom. Fantastic colours, shapes etc, it really captures the essence on the beach environment. I really like the idea of capturing the detail of the environment, so I'm going to try this when I'm next out in different places; woodland, beach etc. Enjoyed watching 👍

[@denisesavage2382]

Yeah that triptych works well - and the way you've put them together etc is what I thought would work too.

[@Simon-SBL]

I never find nice orange stones like that, I think you must have nicked them all! ;) The triptych looks great... It's true what you say about America and sunny climates, but often the skies are a bit boring, here in the UK, however, you can get some pretty epic skies if you are willing to deal with the cold and damp world we live in, when it delivers, it really does deliver.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

The triptych is terrific!

[@norlmerk]

Oh I love the different lines in the three! Got me inspired...thanks!

[@randompete2204]

Triptych worked really well. Only started watching your videos in the last few months, watched a lot of your older stuff. I'm trying to get the photography bug back, its coming slowly. Keep up the great content.

[@LhundupTP]

All these beautiful pictures in one makes a spectacular picture.......

[@dah8100]

Great idea! That tryptic looks awesome! Very calm and relaxing images

[@paulduckworth1121]

Really liked the triptych - it brought the individual images together really well.
