Yes it makes sense and it's not always easy to capture 'how it feels' but every once in a while it happens. Glen Coe is simply gorgeous to gaze at!
Another good film. Amazing place to go and take photographs. Looking forward to the winter weather now up there. Atb
Loving the regular uploads!
I'm trying my best to keep it regular. thanks.
Dear friend Thomas, you had very nice van, i didn't know that there are vans with bed facilities, Thanks for making beautiful and informative clip, I just now subscribed to your channel, Love Scotland, whenever i visit Scotland , i just love the beautiful nature in Scotland, it's so relaxing and peaceful, the village people are so welcoming ,caring and Hospitable.
What an amazing place Tom and you had such a great set up, awning up, nice and dry, cuppa only meters away, and a spectacular view. I loved the simplicity of the image you took of the valley, it really highlighted some of the fantastic colours and textures in the landscape and the leading line provided by the river was perfect. Devil’s Pulpit looked incredible and the colours on the image you captured were so vivid. There is no doubt that Glencoe and Scotland for that matter is beautiful full of wonderful landscape photography opportunities. Thanks for taking us with you on your trip mate, I hope to visit one day.
Just back from Scotland myself but thankfully had better weather in The Trossachs, slightly further south.
The autumnal colours were spectacular. Having viewed this series upon my return I can't wait to go back. Well done.
Awesome to see you push even in the rain to get your image! The Devils Pulpit is stunning! Great work!
The confession was amazing. I laughed out loud. Your personality is what makes your vlogs so good. I would watch them even if I was not a wannabe photographer. I frankly would not care if you spent every night in a hotel. The campervan gives you options which you can choose to use or not. It does not mean you have to test your toughness at every opportunity. Thanks for all your hard work producing content. It must take a lot of time and I bet it drives Charlotte crazy. You however are at the top of your craft and you are my favorite vlog on TH-cam. Thanks again.
Thanks for another interesting video, Thomas. The shot of Monty's quizzical look from the driver's seat is priceless!
Monty at 3:11 - priceless... Really get the feeling he's wondering what in the hell are you doing out there, when there's a nice warm camper van, and a faithful companion to keep you company.
What I'd do to have a camper van to tour around the Lake District and Scotland. What a life. What pictures. What an experience. Another great video. Thanks Thomas. You're forgiven for giving in to a warm bed and a hot shower...
Wow what an amazing place and you covered it so beautifully.
loved that shot at the devil's pulpit!
Enjoy watching your videos Tom, keep them coming.
I enjoy your videos, you are becoming relevant in this space wether people like your photos or not, you sure are building your name. Keep up the good work
I love the dog hanging out in the front seat. lol
I needed this video especially today... Thank you.
I know exactly what you mean.
What an amazing location the Devils Pulpit looks and what a stunning image.
Haha enjoyed this one.... dog’s look in the front seat gave me a chuckle
bought your eBook and love your vids and your down to earth nature! brilliant and I am so loving your van!
Hey Thomas - That spouse+ dog + van combo definitely takes a measure understanding from all three of you. I can relate. One key to me is to focus on your organization skills, and of course the vision man, the vision.
Your dog in the driver's seat, at 3:11, made my day. Thanks again for sharing!
Wonderful, looking forward to your next video Thomas
Beautiful images....always good to pamper the better half as well :-)
Another wonderful video. Thanks Thomas.
Always love the videos and look forward to each new one. Love the V-dub mug! Love the dog! Great Glencoe image, patience is always easier under an awning with a mug of coffee. The Devil's Pulpit is something else.
Fantastic road trip Thomas , and great video as usual !
I''ve watched all your videos repeatedly. I had to say how amazing your work is. i can't wait to shoot something half as good.
Amazing views. Amazing images. Amazing video.
it's a beautiful place Scotland, I lived in Tasmania for twenty years and the resemblance to Scotland is quite uncanny. Wonderful video again, love your style. Cheers, Paul.
Oh Thomas - you made my day with your "confession".
Love the last shot awesome, well worth balancing on that log! Keep the vids coming.
Thank you again for your great vlog. Every time I'm getting lazy and question my self. Your video really helped me to pull my self together.
Thanks Tomas Heaton, very good all of your work! in 4 weeks I m going to Patagonia! Im not a landscape photographer but I'll try to do my best. You are a inspiration for me.
La Zona Magica this guy is good I've been following Thomas for 15 months and learned so much
Having a brew inside a campervan out of a classic campervan shaped mug. I love it!
Love how you talked about the "other side" of landscape photography. The dramatic and atmospherical approach. Like you said sometimes these shots are not the best, technically, but they are so beautiful and artistically meaningful. Keep up the great work Thomas!
Nice, warm, DRY, hotel with wonderful showers! And, the dog can dry out!
Love the arrangement!
That has to be a bloody heavy backpack - and make those slick steps an adventure to get down and back up! I have a similar Tamrac bag which carries everything and I often split out what I think I'll need into one of their sling packs. Really cuts down on a lot of weight and makes hiking easier, but sometimes having everything with you is necessary for the variety of shots that might be possible. And who wants to miss a shot! :-)
One other thing - I got a rain cover that fits my camera for a recent Fall shoot in the Smoky Mountains from Storm Jacket you might like to look into. There are others, of course. But it looks like you get out in a bit of rain too! (Thanks for the great video and taking us along for the journey.)
Love your dog, a curly Labradoodle. We too have a Labradoodle which is a shaggy one and I fully agree with your wet dog problem in a small camper van. We got to the stage where we had our shaggy dog clipped short so he was easier to dry off.
I like your videos, you show that we must get out with our cameras whatever the weather.
The contrast of that little white house at 5:20 against the dark granite, the red heather and the mood of the skies was crying oot fae some exposure wee laddie... other than that, good content, great consistency, keep at it mate.
xactly what I thought! :)
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Jesse Kenzo Instablaster =)
@Kaiden Dax thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kaiden Dax it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out !
stunning as usual
I thought you would be including the stream that was just ahead of you... still it's an amazing pic thank you for sharing your videos it has become a great help to me and my photos
Congratulations to you and Charlotte on your wedding. Love that campervan and your vlogs.
Thanks again for the inspiration, love your work
Fantastic video! Great location...
Mind blowing images !!
going to iceland in a few weeks... re watching all ur vids to help motivate me and learn about new comps/tips I might not remember
Such a great photo in the canyon! Keep up the great work Thomas! I have been watching since you took your cover photo.
I love your video,all the best from Italy!
Great video Thomas. Heading up to Glencoe tomorrow.
That gorge looked phenomenal, going onto my list!
Great Video as always Thomas
Great set of videos, next time you're coming to Scotland don't forget to drive around the applecross peninsula and around assynt, there are some wonderful locations for landscapes
Interesting watching one of your old vlogs as I only started watching your channel a year ago. First time I've seen the dog :-) Came across your vlog in researching Finnich Glen/Devil's Pulpit for a photography trip I have planned to Fort William & Skye next May. heard about this place and decided to make it a bucket list site to do and stay overnight nearby as heading up from 'down south'. Won't get autumn colours but think it's still a 'must see'. Hope I can get my camera gear down those sketchy steps!
My two favourite places to shot and the added bonus that they are both only an hour or so away from my front door, if you get the chance Tom you should visit the Outer Hebrides there is some amazing shots to be had!!
i love your dedication to get the photo you want
thanks for the inspiration
Hi Thomas, great video! Glencoe is one of my favourite locations to photograph, especially the spot you found! The Devil's Pulpit is something else, it's absolutely terrifying getting down if your not confident on your feet however it's totally worth it! You have reminded me that I really need to go back! Thanks for the great channel mate, thoroughly enjoy watching your content! Stuart.
Cute dog you have 👍 and fine scenery, nice 👍👍
I love your videos! It kind of feels like I'm watching Crocodile Hunter... but the photography version.
Always love traveling with you on youtube, Thomas. Early in the video I had the mistaken impression that your wife was with you and that she insisted on the hotel. Well, you earned a break.
6:30 Whaaat? That's the result. Look at 5:20, the white cottage in front of the Buachaille shrouded in clouds - THAT would've been the picture!
AGH331 All about what focal length he was using, you dont see it in the vid on LCD.
nah
If you go there, you make your own choice.
AGH331 the white cottage is 90degrees on the left of the direction he is shooting
I took one of the cottage last year - instagram.com/p/BDTe_HrHO1t/?taken-by=ginger.phototographer
Epic Adventure!! One day ill make it there
Cool shots , sir!
I liked the look on your dogs face, 'please take me for a walk, I'm bored'
Pfff, I did Scotland on a motorcycle and little wee tent. Loved it so much that a couple years later I did it all again, without seeing the inside of a hotel even once. Got to admit though that a hot shower is bliss ;).
Thanks for the video Thomas. Inspiring as always!
Found your youtube videos about month ago and so far i really have enjoyed them all. Would really would like to see more of your final images and how you edit them.
i was at finnich glen(devil's pulpit) earlier this year,very similar conditions.i waded thru the water,thigh deep,to get to the devil's pulpit itself,then further into the gorge for some cracking shots.i highly recommend,getting wet,and walking thru the water to get some real cracking compositions.
Thomas, I love all your videos but this road trip has been fantastic! And something else that I noticed is that although you use music you are sparing with it, which I do appreciate. A lot of video producers seem to feel that music 'holds people's interest' and they use it even under dialogue-but I find that very distracting. It's a welcome relief when someone simply speaks into the camera with no audio clutter. Thank you!
The best video ever...
still an amazing image even with the rain.
much better than your last video. really nice one!
beautiful images! As always...
Beautiful images, and a stunning place to go keep them coming :)
great series of videos, made better by the fact that I visited most of the locations over the summer. sadly didn't have a very good camera to work with.
I love your videos!!
As Bill and Ted once said "Excellent" 😀
one day i may visit some of these beautiful places
love your videos
Nice van! Like the awning thing! Must be nice :)
Thomas- You probably already know this tip-- but toilet seat covers (tissue paper) make great lens wipes for conditions like this. They absorb water well, and don't leave any fibers or residue. Best of all, they are available almost anywhere, for free! They worked miracles for me while in Iceland. -Zack, Seattle WA
Enjoying your road trip, keep up the good work! Would like to go to Skye myself in the next year or so, keep getting distracted by the Lakes though :D
Hi get yourself a pair of cheap waders and walk upstream and you’ll find the Devil’s Pulpit and the falls. Love your work.
Wow must say bit envious well done
Nice one Thomas
Nice to see you shooting long exposure of water :)
I spotted at least 3 other great compositions....sometimes it´s annoying: I just want to ride my bike or have a walk and I see compositions wherever I go:D I have to go to Britain/Scotland- so many cool places (I´m from Germany btw) ;)
The most fun way to get to the devils pulpit, albeit it a little tricky with camera gear, is to come down the river/burn from near where you park - jumping down waterfalls etc...
Awesome, Thomas. Really really hope that you can get somewhere with the Pilot you shot for a Landscape Photography TV Show. I just don't see how it wouldn't be a successful show and watched by many beyond those of us loyal to this TH-cam channel. If there was anyway I could support it to make sure it happened, please let us know! Kickstarter etc. I am there. -Aaron
Thank! Thomas...,
Dog looks very comfortable!
Great. Thanks for the tutorial.
weather coming down or opening up can be very beautiful indeed. it can take an otherwise relatively bland landscape and transform it into a moody and perhaps cruel emotion filled memory enhancement.
5 day, it's amazing for road trip and fotografi.
What next you will show mr Heaton
Come and explore Indonesia.
hahahaaa
Thomas, plase tell me that you took a photo of the house with the misty mountain behind it. At 5:20 on the video. I think it would be a great composition too.
It's the SMC hut: www.smc.org.uk/huts/lagangarbh as seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/paulsflickr/10456339286
"Making a brew ..." Thumbs up, very good. "... finish my coffee ..." Wait, WHAT?! Coffee?! I thought you meant tea! What kind of Englishman are you?!
We'll forgive you the hot shower just as long as you keep making these amazing videos! Thanks for sharing.
Love it.
Devil's Pulpit certaintly reminded me of Outlander series!
Nice video!
Brilliant video and one hell of an advert for Glencoe (not that it needs any advertising!). I don't know about you Tom but I still think the drive through Glencoe is one of the most picturesque drives anywhere in the U.K.
In addition to the superb photography you've certainly done a great job for VW and that lovely vehicle. It's way out of my price range but definitely something to aspire to. It is a landscape photographers dream vehicle and what better way to spend a few days away in the more remote locations. Is this sort of transport something you can see yourself using in the future mate?
Keep up with your inspirational photography and many thanks for taking the time to post this video.
Andy
PS, have you heard anything more about your proposal to make the tv show?
love love the devil's pulpit it's only an hour away from me and oh my gosh the bruises and nearly broken bones to get in there 😂 I have dyspraxia as well so it makes me more off balance. I last went there in June 2014 will need to get back down there again.
