One thing I love about your videos is that you include and talk about the failed attempts or when things don't go your way. Thanks Thomas and keep up the great content.
I love these adventures you take us on Tom. It’s interesting that colour is turning so early, but it means we can look forward to some great Autumn vlogs soon. I think you used the conditions and the flat light you had very well. You created great images with wonderful mood, that was perfect for the subject, I love the shapes those trees made. I can’t believe the fog disappeared so quickly, it was so thick when you first got up. Thanks again for sharing this mate!
I really like that horizontal photo of the tree. The bands of clouds in the sky combined with the tree and the heather make for a really solid shot! Solid video as usual!
Another belter Thomas. You highlighted your common theme which crops up repeatedly throughout your videos about taking time to work out the composition and having the ability to say no, the light is no good, so I'm not taking the shot. Such an important lesson to get away from machine gun mode and one I am slowly taking on board. Quality not quantity. Marry that with KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid - and you are in a good place.
That ability to just walk away without taking a shot... I've got no idea... Great shots of the Birch trees, reminds be of the Aspens in Colorado. I LOL'd when you said "I know what you're thinking". Cheers Tom.
The quality of your videos recently have been top notch. Really taken your time to do B roll. I just hope someone gives you your own photography tv programme. You deserve it !
I love the pace of your videos. It's such a nice break from other TH-camr photographers (who I love too), but I get the feeling that you really savour each and every image. Really reminds me to slow down in my shooting and just appreciate where I am.
I think I would have gone up at night to shoot the two tents in that depression, with a small light in each. Love birch photos, and as always great outdoors.
I was sitting home, making excuses about the weather and after watching this, I'm moving my bottom to the beach to shoot shoot shoot! Maybe something will come out of this. Thanks, Tom for the motivation! Keep up the good work :)
Great to get out but the midges can be a right royal pain. However not long now until the colder weather and will be glad to see the back of them especially up here in Scotland.
Some leaves are starting to change, absolutely stoonin'! We videod a few aspens changing out in the States last weekend. Fall is on the horizon, and that should get every landscape photographer on the move.
Thomas, I was afeard you had crossed over to Isis with that head-gear... but I got over it! That tree will likely still be there when you return. I'll look forward to your next attempt. Thank-You, Mike
Love the second shot. The heather is a favourite of mine, such a beautiful colour. Loved the headnet. I have one. Think I got it in a pound shop. Looking forward to your fog tutorial because where I live every day is either foggy, misty or rainy.
First time actually comenting, on the third go around on all your videos. Love all of them, learning all I can. Just started photography, so exciting and fun. Your work Simply Stunning. Now not only am I watching yours ,but Mr. Brendan van Son's also, does look funny in a hat.
Great video again Thomas. I live just 30 minutes from where you filmed this and last year late Oct and early Nov the colours were at the best but as you suspect we could be a few weeks earlier this time around. Always videos to look forward to, keep em coming.
My Sundays And Wednesdays have taken over the TV with your Videos Thomas lol.. Yet again, Another fantastic Video, supurb images. Autumn cant come quick enough. Must say i had a little giggle when seeing you with the net around your face. Keep them coming Thomas and see you on the 15th :)
Superb as always Tom, the 2nd image is excellent but I really love the shape of the one you wanted to capture in the mist. Silver Birch make such good subjects don't they.👍 Many thanks for posting, take care and stay safe on your travels.🍀👌
Looks like you had a rough night there Tom :D I don't think you can blame the location, looks like a brilliant spot to put up your tent. Really like that second image, nicely done!
Love heather in early autumn in the Alps, if you have yellowish grass, the contrast is insane at the golden hour. If you like trees like that, you should definitely go to Australia. The eucalypts, especially mallee growing eucalypts (multi trunks) are gorgeous as a composition subject. Tasmania in particular is a favorite spot of mine, or the Australian Alps with the snow gums.
For some reason I always find myself commenting after seeing one of your vids. They are just really really well constructed, and the images is always top notch. I'll probably be here commenting when you upload the autumn edition from the same place, with fog this time :) Best of luck out there! Ps, where is Monty nowadays? I miss that rugged little achiever!
Sometimes, to get good separation between layers of mountains in the distance, I take my good 'ole 2 inch brush, and tap the photo while pushing up slightly, and then sweeping back and forth - just barely grazing the negative - and that gives the illusion of some happy mist.
Hey Thomas. Great video, as usual. There's a great Scottish word that describes the conditions you encountered after the mist had lifted. It's 'dreich' and there's a reason why we have a word for it up here;-) Do not pronounce the 'ch' as a 'k'. Just try to clear the midges from your throat and you'll nail the pronunciation. The same goes for when you say loch, it's not a lock:-)
Thomas Heaton, Britain's answer to Deadpool. Lol. Loved the midge net. Loved the video, those birch trees was stunning. I know you like to do videos out in the field but is there a chance that you might do one on your post production techniques. I would like to know how much post you do and how much is done in camera.
Great video as ever and two beautiful images of the trees. Can you post a link to where you got the 'midgies net'? As a regular visit to the Outer Hebrides, this looks like manner from heaven!! Keep up the great work.
Nice walk. Just careful with the gas fire direct on ground with high grass. You know, improvise a barrier/rock bed if available, an upturned frying pan or at least clear patch. Enjoy the videos.
It has been rather damp here in the northeastern United States also. We have seen signs of early foliage change north of us as well. Enjoy your videos, but first time commentator.
Hello Thomas may I suggest a soft bush hat as it will keep the midge net of the face and will bend flat when you look through the eyepiece. Best regards, Allan.
Curious that the season seems to be changing early there... Here in Pennsylvania, the month of August was *way* cooler than usual, and September mornings are downright chilly! I have been wondering if we are heading into a real brutal Winter season...
Great vlog Tom. The quarry's really interesting, whereabouts is it? Just so very different against the Lake District fells & hills. Absolutely love the images & in the 2nd image,the colour of the heather is just so lovely of which it comes across in the video in lush detail :) It's a shame the fog/mist didn't play ball the next morning, but as you say Autumn is upon us! Yay! :)
Hi Thomas, as always loving the videos but what's happened to your two videos about your trip to Skye? Heading there later this month would love to watch them. Cheers.
again and again great and encouraging video Thomas ! could you explain what is the other differences between good image and great image except mist ? :)
Was the tree in the distance at 3:32 where you eventually shot? I saw that as you were panning and thought that would be my destination. I'd be stoked if that was indeed the tree.
Great video as usual, I love this ethereal atmosphere! One thing... Don't you think is quite dangerous to turn on a fire on such dry field? I see some grass on fire 😱
Finally catching up after my trip to Yellowstone. Your leaves were turning a month early. Here it is the end of September and it's in the high 80's with no sign of Autumn color. Global Warming Weirdness?!
Another good video, thanks much. May I ask a question? About how many photos do you take when out photographing? You see so well disciplined, keeping your camera tucked away until you find "the" shot for your location. I struggle with taking far too many shots, and believe I do this due to my uncertainty of what I'm capturing. Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Again thanks so much for producing such good content.
Absolutely
You thought I was going to say Stunnin x
One thing I love about your videos is that you include and talk about the failed attempts or when things don't go your way. Thanks Thomas and keep up the great content.
Quality as usual even my partner and 11 yr old now sit and watch you channel with me on tv thank you

I would love to see a collab between you and Thomas.
I 2nd this
Putting the image in a square crop just makes all the difference. Lovely picture Thomas. 👍👍
I really like that horizontal photo of the tree. The bands of clouds in the sky combined with the tree and the heather make for a really solid shot! Solid video as usual!
A bit of a Kendo Nagasaki moment there with the midge net. Loved the collaboration series with you and Brendan
Dear Thomas, thank you for this beautiful calendar ! Congratulations!
I love your videos. You're like the Jamie Oliver of landscape photography.
Giulia Peddi don't insult the man!
Didn't mean it as an insult, just that they both have great enthousiasm!
This video is RAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW
Another belter Thomas.

Love the birch tree shots! Really Stunning! Love how patient you are, sign of a true artist!
That ability to just walk away without taking a shot... I've got no idea... Great shots of the Birch trees, reminds be of the Aspens in Colorado. I LOL'd when you said "I know what you're thinking". Cheers Tom.
Absolutely stunning!! 👍 Two lovely friends ever try, congratulations!!!!!
Thomas, loved the horizontal shot with the birch on the left! Absolutely stunning!
The quality of your videos recently have been top notch. Really taken your time to do B roll. I just hope someone gives you your own photography tv programme. You deserve it !
Living in the Australian outback for a few years a head net was one of the most essential pieces of gear, great video!
Why did you stop uploading to Flickr or am I just not seeing the updates?
Some lovely images once again Tom. I had forgotten it was Heaton Wednesday. You have just brightened up a dreary day
Thank you for your inspirational talent and enthusiasm Thomas! Super beautiful images!
Thanks, Tom, lovely video. I really enjoyed your collaborations with Brendan. Beautiful countryside-that heather is amazing. Cheers, Bob.
Tom, don't ever change the music you play when reveal the photo. It mixes perfect. I enjoy it a lot.
Love the showcasing of the trees before showing the shot. Trees are one of my favourite things to shoot. Nicely done......again :)

Outstanding! The monochrome of the birch was stunning! Too bad you missed the mist but will look forward to seeing you get it in autumn.
Thomas,
I was afeard you had crossed over to Isis with that head-gear... but I got over it!
That tree will likely still be there when you return. I'll look forward to your next attempt.
Thank-You,
Mike
Simplicity is divinity! Nice images Thomas.
You're beginning to inspire me a bit. I love the attitude u have.
Love the second shot. The heather is a favourite of mine, such a beautiful colour. Loved the headnet. I have one. Think I got it in a pound shop. Looking forward to your fog tutorial because where I live every day is either foggy, misty or rainy.
I enjoy every Video !

First!
How many points do I get?
you get + 10 - 9 for announcing it for + 1
Inspiring. You really have a gift in sharing your photography.
The moment you mentioned the tree you are going to capture, I knew it will be b&w square frame.😀😀😀
Lovely images and beautiful location and, as always, an interesting video.
Great tie-up with Brendan, loved it. Love the first image.
That 2nd image looks so beautiful, my favourite for sure!
Great video again Thomas. I live just 30 minutes from where you filmed this and last year late Oct and early Nov the colours were at the best but as you suspect we could be a few weeks earlier this time around. Always videos to look forward to, keep em coming.

I sound like a broken record..but your vids are fantastic. And your music choice is supurb and lovely.
Shame about the fog / mist disappearing but you bagged a couple of wonderful shots Thomas.
Tony
Superb as always Tom, the 2nd image is excellent but I really love the shape of the one you wanted to capture in the mist. Silver Birch make such good subjects don't they.👍
Many thanks for posting, take care and stay safe on your travels.🍀👌
Thanks for the video Heaton.
Loved the second photograph
Absolutely fantastic 😀
Great vid Thomas , I love mist shots
Looks like you had a rough night there Tom :D I don't think you can blame the location, looks like a brilliant spot to put up your tent.
Really like that second image, nicely done!
Great shots Tom but I was thinking the first image was going to be in colour.
Got photo anyway.
Thanks for another great video. Stay safe.
It's working. My shooting rate has gone up massively since watching you and i'm getting better results. Thanks :-)
When Midge's attack! Who was that masked man? Thanks for braving the bugs to bring us our video fix.
Love heather in early autumn in the Alps, if you have yellowish grass, the contrast is insane at the golden hour. If you like trees like that, you should definitely go to Australia.

Excellent, as always!
what should I say.., Amazing! Thank! Thomas....,

I'll probably be here commenting when you upload the autumn edition from the same place, with fog this time :) Best of luck out there! Ps, where is Monty nowadays? I miss that rugged little achiever!
Just got to the last bit of your video, where the fog had just vanished . . . my wife walked in and said 'he looks knackered'. :)
Very cool video. Misty Silver Birch shot is now on my list!
A tad bit of brokeback mountain 😂 great pics Thomas 👍
Great as always, nice to see one new aproach regarding to music , I like it, keep up, greatings from Portugal ☺
Hey bud....just a heads up, the music Stay Near appears to be by artist Luwaks. Loved the adventure

Loved the 2nd image
Shot quality is on fire in this vid
Excellent! Thank you.
Really enjoy your videos. I shot Medium Format Film but it does not matter with your vids. You inspire.
Another excellent video tom, wonder where you will be next
Terrific video!!!
More great content dude keep up the good work!!
Brilliant video mate
Thomas Heaton, Britain's answer to Deadpool. Lol. Loved the midge net. Loved the video, those birch trees was stunning. I know you like to do videos out in the field but is there a chance that you might do one on your post production techniques. I would like to know how much post you do and how much is done in camera.
That quarry seems like after a good drop of rain, it might have good opportunities
Simplicity is king.
Great video as ever and two beautiful images of the trees. Can you post a link to where you got the 'midgies net'? As a regular visit to the Outer Hebrides, this looks like manner from heaven!! Keep up the great work.
Hey Thomas, great video and pictures !!!! Can you maybe do a explanation video how you get those black and white images to be that great :)
It is funny how uk is "early" into fall but in finland we are at least same amount weeks behind of yearly schedule.
Nice walk. Just careful with the gas fire direct on ground with high grass. You know, improvise a barrier/rock bed if available, an upturned frying pan or at least clear patch. Enjoy the videos.
It has been rather damp here in the northeastern United States also. We have seen signs of early foliage change north of us as well. Enjoy your videos, but first time commentator.

Its Hodge Close - Signposted just past Coniston on the Ambleside Road. Narrow twisty road but the quarry is eerie..
Thanks Keith :)
Tom: FYI The Amazon link to the g5x no longer showing the camera, just bags.
Dont know if it changed in a week, but its showing camera for me.
Hi Thomas, as always loving the videos but what's happened to your two videos about your trip to Skye? Heading there later this month would love to watch them. Cheers.
Hi, for some reason they don't seem to work on my android devices but they work fine on a desktop.
Barry Maytum Hi, thank you Barry I've always used iPad so I'll give desktop a go, have to be at work though, bummer.
again and again great and encouraging video Thomas ! could you explain what is the other differences between good image and great image except mist ? :)
Thanks!
Was the tree in the distance at 3:32 where you eventually shot? I saw that as you were panning and thought that would be my destination. I'd be stoked if that was indeed the tree.
8.07 - terrified me!
I'm guessing Brendan nearly shit himself when he saw a faceless Tom walking towards him!!
Good stuff! Best not to camp in sheltered dips, you will be eaten alive with midges - but hell, you'll know that now. :)
I would say that a good image is a 6/10 and a great image is an 8/10
Another great video just a shame that the fog lifted but unfortunately you can't have everything.
Hey Tom. Love your work!
I'm in the Lake District last week of October. Do you still think they'll be colour in them there woods?
Great video as usual, I love this ethereal atmosphere! One thing... Don't you think is quite dangerous to turn on a fire on such dry field? I see some grass on fire 😱
That's what I was wondering! I have never seen a gas "stove" like that and kept thinking "shouldn't you put it on a rock"?!
Finally catching up after my trip to Yellowstone. Your leaves were turning a month early. Here it is the end of September and it's in the high 80's with no sign of Autumn color. Global Warming Weirdness?!
Thomas, thoughts... Do you ever try to shoot for B&W photos on overcast days?
Great video, shame you mist out on the fog! 😃
Another good video, thanks much. May I ask a question? About how many photos do you take when out photographing? You see so well disciplined, keeping your camera tucked away until you find "the" shot for your location. I struggle with taking far too many shots, and believe I do this due to my uncertainty of what I'm capturing. Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

It looks like the same area that you've travelled to before, the place with the grey wall 1:40
