Nobody, absolutely nobody does B roll like you man. I’ve thought it for years of watching yours and everyone else’s videos, you are at the top of the game with your videos and nobody is even a close second.
Fallen into the same trap with my Z6 many a time: bracket exposures for clean shadows and my camera essentially says (in its best Jeremy Clarkson voice) "reeeeelaaaaaxxx! We've got plenty dynamic range"
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I think I can help you out there mate! Dear Mrs Heaton, we the audience humbly request more of your husband's valuable time. His content is simply too good and we need more of it. 🙏🏻😅
Obviously, photography is your job, but remember that sometimes you can just enjoy living in the moment and enjoy the beauty. Lovely trip, may it continue to fill you with beauty and inspiration.
Cant imagine the time taken just to shoot these kind of videos. Setup camera, drive pass, drive back, pick up camera, rinse and repeat gazillion times....... You must love it to keep doing it :)
I’m always, as another “Semi famous” Utuber says “In Awe” of the work you produce!!! I number one cannot afford all the fancy post software that adjusts my images to make them all look just so perfect. I like the simplicity of shooting exactly what I see, compose, and leaving it alone!!!! Some are keepers, some are wow, and some are DUNG!!!! But I’m old school and that’s why I love photography!!!! That’s why I’m in “Awe” of what you do because!!!!!! It’s in you’re eyes and heart that translate onto the images!!!! Simple and yet complex!!!! Thanks Thomas for another great adventure!!!!!!
Had to shower in the river systems at the base of Vatnajökull National Park gorge hike man that glacial ice melt is freezing but when you really really need a wash😅 it was the best wash I’d ever had in me birthday suit 11 at night no one but me…..awesome 😅
Доброе утро. Спасибо за отличное видео. Прекрасная природа, красивые места. Мы тоже очень любим путешествовать по красивым, природным местам. Удачи Вам в путешествиях. Привет из России.
Привет из Англия. я хочу путешествовать по России, возможности для фотографии должны быть очень хороший. Я пытаюсь выучить русский язык и мне нужно иногда польза Google
@@fiizzy3884 Тоже хочу изучить английский язык. Россия - большая страна и красивая. Приезжайте. У нас есть и пустыни, горы и моря, степи и тундры.....и много лесов. Будем рады Вам.
I enjoyed the Drive i am Just back myself from a week long trip out the West of Ireland and i have to say some of the drives ive been on are comparative if not more impressive that the one you were on now id like to show you however ive such a backlog of Videos i wont have them up until at least December this year as ive been using the summer to just create loads of interesting content from around Ireland and 100% the Eco flow has been a game changer even though i have the baby one it is so great to be able to charge things on the go
And that wee hike you did.... thats why I own a superzoom (24-240mm in my case). It's not super sharp, BUT, it usually gives you enough for any shot on a scouting hike... and can still print at like 30" x 20" if necessary (if a scene is epic... it's going to be "good enough"). My other option if I am being super light is my Sony RX100 VI which sports a 24-200mm equivalent - but of course its only a 1 inch sensor - so a bit more limiting. Regardless - nice when you don't want to carry a 16-35 F2.8, 24-70 F2.8 and 100-400mm on a scout. Can highly recommend having specific gear for scouting!
I drove my old Focus in 2007 down a very rough road to the red sand beach in west Iceland. Only 4x4s there. Lots of stares. It was a 4x4 route, no damage done but it was a challenge. I rode the ruts and took it slow. I did take fewer "challenges" after that. A route to an old Dew Line radar station out east was toooo rough. Tooth filling rattling and so i felt discretion was the better part of valour 😂😂😂 esp when i had to get back to the uk in the same car. Did the iceland run again the following year, same car. Sold the car after that, with some sorrow. Probably baked bean cans now although i kept the under bonnet slam panel a mechanic broke (by leaning on it) as a souvenir 😂😂😂
@carmenjgarciap8153 it's an automatic reaction IF people indicate....not everyone indicates like BMW'S,VOLVO OR BOY RACERS OR ANYBODY WITH NEW CARS F@@@@@ B @@@@@@@
The only Mitshubishi that sounds like a Maserati 😂 Beautiful place! nice video as always Tom! 7 years following you without missing a single video... never getting bored... big hug from Spain
Did have a chuckle when you pulled into the "lay-by" for your first photo, that in the middle of nowhere on a dirt track with no one in sight, you signalled to turn left 😂 Always remember the highway code! Cracking video as always!
I'm just amazed by the amount of documenting you do a from all angles and the whole time. I would say I would find this incredible tiring and annoying. For me photography is meditation. I wouldn't be able to do any of this YouTubing stuff. So kudos!
Hey Thomas, I am enjoying your photography excursion to Iceland. Your photography is beautiful and your videos are fantastic. I look forward to your videos every week.
Watching your video while sitting in my own van in a small village in France on a 5 week road trip is surreal. Last night I had the best dark sky I have ever exprienced in my life, seeing the milky way in a clarity and with structure that I've never seen before and this was not even the darkest place of my route. I do astrophotography and I have some equipment with me, but watching your videos encourage me to also do more landscape photography. Fun fact - I have the same or at least a similar portable fire pit with me, but the only campsite that permits a campfire so far was in Switzerland and each camp had it's own fireplace. I hope you enjoyed your trip as much as I do.
Tom - have you retired the poweroak battery you installed when you built the van. I recall it was specced to have plenty of headroom above your power needs at the time (and ran your deisel heater and Leds) so why the need for the new Eco Flow units?
Great video, only down side is MPB the sponsor. I have used them twice and each time not a very good experience at all. The last occasion I part ex a lens for use one on the mpb web site only to find it had an error code when I tested it. After some reading of reviews I read this was a common issue with mpb not fully testing the gear, if at all, or the description was incorrect from the actual conditions. Also my part ex lens was knocked down on its value once they received claiming it had a scratch on the rear element. When The deal fell through and I asked for my lens back I had to pay FULL retail price for it from mpb, and when I did get it back I could not find any scratch. I used a macro lens and 45mp camera and did not find any scratch ! ! Problem when a deal with mpb goes south for the consumer it cost them in the pocket ! All mpb offered me was a £10 discount voucher off a £100 spend !
These videos are inspiring, Thomas going to different parts of the world and taking these beautiful photos. I like to watch the ones more in the U.K. because that’s all I can afford to travel to. Iceland is extremely expensive, even if you have a camper, and I would never be able to afford to do that. I wish I could. He’s an exceptional photographer with huge talent. I would like to be a professional but I’ve been told in feedback from my photography club that I just not that good, even though I like my photos.
Fantastic video as always, Thomas! If I could shoot as well as your 'B' roll, I would die a happy photographer! The quality is amazing. There are so many great images that could be pulled from that. How do you do it? No, seriously, maybe a future episode on shooting and processing 'B' roll would be great. Just a thought.
It's a funny little drive that one, especially if someone comes the other way. There was a quad bike tour going on as well when I headed back out. Grey skies while I was there unfortunately, but that's Iceland.
@ThomasHeatonPhoto did you do the hike up to the glacier there? Where the glacier is breaking off a kilometer long cliff and flowing back into itself? If not, you definitely have to go there next time, really beautiful, but I found it extremely hard to capture in a single frame
Not an apples to apples comparison because you need to walk, many miles oftentimes, but California's Sierra offers so many beautiful, to die for, campsites.
Its the elements of your videogrpahy that make me think. The drone and static cameras capturing your journey in your van. You dont even realise the effort you have to do to capture the scenes. Great work as always Thomas, stunning captures👌
Thomas. Your videos give me constant inspiration especially when I’m feeling low. My partner and I are on the cusp of stepping out on our own and what you do on a daily gives me that drive to take that step. Many thanks from down under.😊
I am totally enjoying watching you work! amazing! photography! Can you help out with some gear questions? Would you do medium format for landscape or full frame Sony A7rV. Just starting up landscape photography.I have been a professional portrait photographer for 25 years.
Brings back memories. My Rental car windscreen got chipped on that road to Pakgil. Stunning campsite - I heard other tourists nickname it Jurassic Park
Nobody, absolutely nobody does B roll like you man. I’ve thought it for years of watching yours and everyone else’s videos, you are at the top of the game with your videos and nobody is even a close second.
Nothing says landscape photography like a lump of rock 🤣🤣🤣 but a beautiful lump of rock at that. 👍😎 love the location😍
I love the waterfall shot. Looked like you were channeling your inner Gavin Hardcastle.
I can't believe I just noticed now you have F11 HTN reg plate...........lol very cool.
Enjoyed this one a lot !! The exhaust soundtrack was on point too😂
Gavin would be proud of that waterfall shot
3:20
Great video as always. Shout out to the scene-stealing mushroom at 2:45 (and after) that made me laugh.
10:50 Battery???? My heart skipped a beat!
Fallen into the same trap with my Z6 many a time: bracket exposures for clean shadows and my camera essentially says (in its best Jeremy Clarkson voice) "reeeeelaaaaaxxx! We've got plenty dynamic range"
nniiiiiiiiiicceeee. ☺👏🏼
My God drone footage (B role) is so impressive!
8:37, the first beautiful image is for you, the second best is for the camera.
BEAUTIFUL!!!❤
That dip at the end - you're nuts surely!! Hahahaha. Great campsite and place to enjoy and explore though.
I get it...at the end there...FREEZE the germs off!!!
;)
Thanks for another great video Thomas!!
CC
Bloody magnificent, Thomas. But jeez, you must have balls of steel to jump in a pool like that! Very tiny, shrunken balls of steel. Legend.
Please do more series like this, so entertaining! That campsite, the drone shot and the cascading waterfall shot, absolutely stunning!
Thanks. I'll show my wife this comment 🤙

There is a shot or two there going in your next book for sure.
You probably make some of the best videos on all of TH-cam.
Obviously, photography is your job, but remember that sometimes you can just enjoy living in the moment and enjoy the beauty. Lovely trip, may it continue to fill you with beauty and inspiration.
Oh yes, more awesomeness ! 👏👍😀 Ps for the ladies, Thomas Heaton almost naked! 🤣😂🤣

Nice trough the Alps and you will
Discover more beautiful peaks....
Waterfalls... lakes....

Looks like a great time
where is the double thumbs up 🤣 - great video in super surroundings
That cold swim, WOW! Greetings from The Netherlands
I love the simplicity of your photography and of the way you travel.
I appreciate that, thanks a lot.

Fantastic!
Can you tell me some more about your portable firepit??? That thing looks fantastic!
I love that You walk extra mile and recorded sound of car too... :)
I love the photography (the reason i started watching years ago) but i have to say i love the travel videos just as much now
You've been watching too much Gavin Hardcastle with your precarious compositions!! You 2 need to get a room!! 🤣🤣
Ah, My Pirate Bay, ace!
Only one word: WONDERFUL !!!
Sudden end 😄 could have watched for an hour … 👍🏼

Van sounds great!
After the polar plunge, we can bathe in anything
One word ' Amazing' 👍
quick tip: you can find natural hot springs in Iceland 🙂!!!
another Thomas banger
thank you for this beautifull report. I recognised the camping from years ago. we didn't stay there but visited the surrounding . thxs again
Perfect. Thanks again.
Colder than Svalbard, LOL, are you sure? Loved the video!

Inspiring and encouraging to see the waterfall was one exposure.
Iceland is great!!!
Each video it's own entertaining adventure....brilliant and informative.
“I might go for a wander without the camera……” caused me to shout, “nooooooo!” at the screen.
Awesome Video as always!!

Super video as per Heaton … for a moment I thought you were lighting your chair up as the fire 🔥 at the evening camp … Stunning scenery 👍✌️🙏
Beautiful, wish I could drive there as well!! Would love to have my camper with me :)
Indicating to turn off in the middle of nowhere for the benefit of the seagulls 😂Bless ya - great adventure, bravo!
Glad I wasn't the only one to think that 😂😂

Haha. Force of habit.
Did you consider the signal? The irony of the balls it took getting in that freezing pool...
@@carmenjgarciap8153same here😂
The second I heard you say you were taking a hike without your camera, I thought; you are going to regret that 😄
Gavin would have been conkers deep in that water mate "for the shot", He has an online course all about it, link in the description!
The only Mitshubishi that sounds like a Maserati 😂
Beautiful place! nice video as always Tom! 7 years following you without missing a single video... never getting bored...
big hug from Spain

2 great images. Drone shot has the win tho I have to say loved it

As soon as you said you were going to go for an explore without the camera I'm all NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Ah well 😀 - That firepit sling tho!
Amazing location and, yes, that does look rather precarious!
Great place Pakgil.I was one year ago. Hikes around breathtaking. Waiting for your pictures.
Iceland - the heaven on earth ....

Thank you again for taking us along. I have to agree it’s a stunning campsite!!
I would love to go back to Iceland and spend more time photographing you stunning landscape.
Though I could not do it in a small camper van !
Once again the highlight of my week. Great video and always a joy to watch .
@thomasheaton. Fake
I've been to that campsite!!!!! Loved it!
Great campsite great country lovely images and a plung pool what more could you want thank you for the video Burt
