I literally can't think of any other pack of friends that would get excited waking up each other at 4:30 AM to get out of cosy warm tents, no swearwords, no grumpy cats. Only slim hope of getting _another_ great photo of the Iceland.
Hahah. I think Thor was a little grumpy.
Where so many other channels have headed into the territory of focussing on advice and tip videos week-in, week-out (advice which can be found in a single beginners book), rather than the art of landscape photography, you, Thomas, continue to produce content that actually has relevance to landscape photographers. That is being in the field explaining what you're seeing, and taking decent images.
It's a pity so many on TH-cam have shifted away from the art, and onto, what I would call, commercial magazine style content. It's great that you continue to represent why so many have an interest in and love of landscape photography.
Thanks a lot. Don't get me wrong, it's tempting to drop an occasional 'educational' video, but I just don't enjoy it. Being in the field is where I am happiest.
Those are truly the worst videos too. Unfortunaltly they get the most views along with camera reviews. The art of photogrpahy will always be less intresting however its where the joy is found.
@@KevinNordstrom The art of photography videos are more for established photographers (which can feel like a gated community), those who are starting or just want to improve their skillset will obviously look for other kinds of videos.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto 👍 Understandable about the temptation, particularly with the 'algorithm'. For me, you provide far more education when out on location than any specific "educational" video can.
@@soundscape26 That's understandable, and certainly there is a snobbish element in landscape photography around the art.
Photography being an art, once you know the basics around the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and some compositional guidelines, you have all the knowledge needed. After that it's about practise, learning how to "see" the image in the field, and playing with that knowledge to create interesting and unique images.
Oh man, that panorama was so incredible that I literally shouted for joy. It was like a painting from a Tolkien book.
I might have to stop watching, you are making me miss Iceland so much 😃 Joking aside I love the way you present you videos, successes, mistakes, disappointments and all. Looking forward to the next one.
The kind of Thomas Heaton video I love the most. Good to see you hanging with Bagshaw and Page.
My two favorite landscape photographers in one video? Perfect!!! (Tom & Nick)
My daughter and I have been blessed with two visits to Iceland and all I can say is I’m happy I don’t live there because I would die early through lack of sleep 😂 sleeping in Iceland is a wasted opportunity, the landscapes are incredible, the light is phenomenal, the experience is unforgettable. If there is one piece of advice I could give anyone it would be to hire a capable vehicle and get off the beaten track, don’t be afraid to use f roads, the rewards are epic. Respect the flora and fauna, respect the rules, respect the country and its people and the rewards will stay with you forever 😉👌📷❤️🇮🇸
Jaw-dropping UHD armchair exploration enjoyed big-screen courtesy of Amazon Firecube from the cosy comfort of the Yorkshire Dales - all for nix/nada/nowt. No organisational hassle, no driving, no chipped paint, no moodswings … and above all no disappointment. Contrast my own early-June 2018 solo trip to Kerlingarfjöll (also southern Highlands, off the F35 north of Geysir & Gullfoss), when rain turned to sleet, sleet turned to snow and barely a glimpse of the destination was had, as each day surpassed the previous one in sheer misery. Outdone only by a trip to the Faroes the next year, when the rain bucketed down for nine of the ten days and vista after vista was enjoyed vicariously via TH-cam videos from a car parked at each 'view'-point … Thank you for taking all the risks on our behalf, Thomas - and keep 'em coming!
If the coming days are like the last two you will have a beautiful large, hardcover, slick page photograph book of Iceland and you can put me down for a preorder, Thomas. Today's post was what I was hoping for when you announced your upcoming Iceland adventure. When you said last week that you were leaving the ash pit on the south shore and heading to the highlands I said, "This is it! Now the real photography begins". You did not disappoint. All of your images today are portfolio worthy. Here's a toast to good photography weather and beautiful images to come.
I've been watching photography videos for 20 years now and this has to be the greatest one yet. Makes me want to leave Florida and move.
I feel very lucky to have gone out on a good few workshops with Peter, absolute gent.
Once a friend told me "It doesn't matter where and how you shot, you could even trigger the phone camera while you take it out of the pocket, but in Iceland it would still be one of the best shots in your life"
You turned my good Sunday late morning coffee into an Epic but cold coffee - I simply forgot to drink it with my mouth open looking at those landscapes. Wow and Thank you....!
Holeymoley, hooleydooley and anything else you can think of, My mouth is drooling, What a beautiful place, thank you for taking me there Thomas.
@6:00 "I don't feel precarious, it's my tripod that's precarious" - says the lanky dude wobbling and waving his arms about whilst the tripod stands there rock steady 🤣
That’s a motley looking crew. Kidding, that is a bunch of excellent shooters together there
17:12 that’s a really good photo
If that makes it into the calendar for 2025 I'm in. Wow, have to get to Iceland.....
The JOY in this video really puts a smile in my face. Nothing like having a good time with friends outdoors doing what you love.
The urge to go out with a camera just shot up!
That panorama 17:02 is one of the best photographs I’ve ever seen. Wow Tom.
You always seem to be your happiest when you’re working with other photographers Tom. It’s good to see 😁
Thanks Thomas. Absolutely epic. Looking forward to next video.
That pano at 17 minutes is something special!
My spontaneous outbursts when seeing these photographs… “WOW!!!” … “Oh my goodness!!” … “WHAT?!?” … “OH MY GOD!” This landscape is truly incredible. Great captures!
Getting woken up at 4am for amazing conditions and a bunch of excited photographers only to find out it's average at best seems like an authentic Thomas Heaton expedition experience. Too funny, cracked me up so much. Love your work!
I can't believe this video is 25 minutes long - it felt like ten minutes max. Quality content, I guess.
11:24 man thats some lion king or jungle book kinda lighting! Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤
Great video! The pano is just incredible! Look forward to the next one 😀
The pano of Bob Ross’ mountain is beautiful.
The cloud inversion drone footage was epic!!
I'm so happy now.... Made me smile. Enjoy!
So nice to see Thomas, Nick and the others "Chasing Awe". I'm sorry that was uncalled for...but kind of funny. Another stellar video Thomas, thanks for sharing and taking us along.
I'm THIS close to deleting that comment 😂😂
Thanks Thomas, good to see you found your muse. I see familiar terrain, I had all foggy conditions and only saw 2 oither cars in an afternoon of driving. Take care !
Iceland is just otherworldly beautiful
There is a serenity and calm about you that’s very refreshing Tom. It comes across so strongly in your videos even if things don’t go quite right
Possibly your best video yet. Interesting on every level.
Well! I was going to write something really sarcastic like "That was crap! What a horrible location!" but I just can't! What a spectacular place! There's no wonder you called it the best photography location in the world. Your photography wasn't too shabby either! 😁😁😉😉
4:35 This looks like a scene from Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding game. Even your orange backpack is like straight from the game. Fantastic!
The pano was just awesome...it was like a painting! It was a great video to watch and honestly standing on those rocky edges!!!
Completely, flippin', Beeeeaaauuutiful. In every, friggin', way. And humour with Nick, cutting away etc, very funny. ☺
Absolutly fantastic vlog/mood/filming/editing/landscape and of course photograp ❤
Half the band is back together!
Once again you brilliantly share the life of a landscape photographer. I always love when you share your struggles and mistakes and they always resonate with me. This video clearly shows your joy and awe at the wonders around you, and that resonates even more!
I can never say it enough, thank you for bringing us along on these adventures! If your videos were twice as long I would still watch every second with rapt attention and a peaceful smile!
P.S. Fantastic images and footage!
P.P.S. Calendar ordered!
Thanks a lot for your kind words. They're very encouraging. And, thanks for the calendar order. Much appreciated 👍
Awesome Thormas I love photography trips with friends who share the same passion.
I want that yellow bag! Oh yes, and I'm so glad you're with buddies now. Such a cool trip .
Fabulous images Thomas and some classic tunes from your archive too to convey that feeling of adventure
great video. Some beautiful shots. Understandable frustration but just a general love for being outdoors with friends.
As always what an awesome video. Amazing photos and video. Glad you are having a fun time with friends. Thank you for taking us along for the journey.
That pano was absolutely stunning!
Loving this Iceland series. Fabulous work ❤
Thanks for taking me a place I hope to visit and photograph one day. I love the Bob Ross reference. I have watched his videos for years, they are so relaxing. As Bob says, we not make mistakes we have happy accidents. He would have been pleased with the images you got on this video.
The panoramic shot was heavenly. Awesome stuff.
A just found this guy and I love his energy! Some brilliant content here. Genuinely wishing him all the success and gonna buy a calendar to support! Can't wait for next week's vid!
Wow!! Your panoramic shot is stunning Thomas.
I loved this one, while I really liked all the photographers, I LOVED seeing you and Nick together again!
The photo at 17:25 is incredible.
OMG dream trip. Also that panorama shot was amazing.
Loved the video and those photographs were stunning. I watch them all but have to say the big landscapes you do are always my fave! Thats what made me subscribe all them years ago
Stunning photos of the otherworldly Icelandic landscape. I like the photo at 17:20 .
Went to Iceland last year, and cannot wait to go back. Great country and amazing people. Anyone who has the chance, try to go in the next five years, tourism is increasing very fast, the place will change soon.
Another Thomas Heaton classic. Love your videos man, very inspiring! Also very happy to see *you* being happy after some struggles and misfortunes.
That pano shot is beautiful!
The quality of this video is, just like all your other ones, unparalleled. Thanks for taking us with you on these adventures Thomas.
Can we talk about the choice of music in this video? Crazy!
Eclectic, perhaps? 😂
simply amazing images, well done mate!
That was a cracking update and really enjoyable watch. More please! 👍👏😉
This series is kinda making me re-live my trip to the Faroe Island last May (with the same ferry, by the way). I went there for a conference + holidays, but found time for a good amount of photography too. Interesting to see how different people photograph similar locations! (I am non comparing myself to you LOL, your images are technically sooo much better, my point is that the "mood" is quite different).
That was Epic...those vistas were superb, I'm so jealous. Thanks for this episode, so inspirational.
I'm envious of everything - except the bath in the stream. :-)
Well done.
Fantastic pano. Good to see you and Nick joking together. It's time for. F4 road trip 2 video series?!?! 😊
Watched all your videos from this trip, not only is it a great watch with stunning scenery but fantastic shots as well Thomas
17:22 Wow...... just Wow !
Loving this series, so glad this isn’t the last video of this trip! 💯
Brilliant! And this is what the wonderful Delly is for. Thank you.
What an amazing place (as usual), incredible imagery. Plus the bonus, to see Mr Nick Page in your video Tom, and some playful banter between you both. Great stuff. Be safe.
Great to relive this trip with you and the guys . Such an amazing time ! Thanks for documenting this for us Tom !!
We still have Nick's video to watch. It was a great trip though.
Iceland is gorgeous. Recommend putting Yukon on your list of amazing places to photograph.
Compared to Iceland : 5 times larger, 1/10th the population (if you don't include wildlife) and more diverse geography.
Logistically a bit more challenging.
One word "Majestic"
Who needs Bear Grills with you guys! I watch with envy and fear when you stand on a cliff side waving your arms near your precarious tripod. I feel such calm in your images. Wonderful video :).
I've watched this 4 times now.
This kind of videos and photography is just so freaking good to watch and see, my God what an adventure
Brilliant photographs, wonderful video. Hope you come for a visit again. 😊
The photo you took at 6:43, i feel that the drone shot from before, when the sun was up and you had b6lur skies looked so much more beautiful, still i cant imagine what it'd be like to be there Thomas, good job on the video! 🥳
Hey Thor! Great to see (a glimpse of) you! And 17:15, geez...
A highlight to my week is when you post a new video. Thank you Thomas. It really is a lot of fun to see the world through your eyes.
Tripods. we don't need no stinking tripods 😂😂 Wow the highlands offer some beautiful scenery, love the photo edits 👍😎
Dude, that panorama was mega! Had to pause the video to post this comment
Now that looks enjoyable we'll done and great content with the laughs and giggles all in.
Phwoar!! What a trip!! Very keen on that pano at around about 17:30!!! Love it!!
Currently binging this series and loving it👌🏻
I really appreciate that serie of video. Very fun to wacth
That image at 22:56 is terrific, the jaggedy rocks walking you down into the valley and out past the distant mountains, plus the light, colours and the sky drama. Most excellent!
The new drone was put to great use the footage was incredible , fantastic images throughout as all the hard work was done just getting yourself there. Great to see the others and i am sure you all had a fantastic time, certainly looks like you did. The delica certainly paid off especially for the sleeping arrangements , im sure the others were not as comfortable in their tents as you in the van. Looking forward to seeing more from the trip, hope your well, take care!
What a great trip. Loved seeing this mate!
Absolutely stunning views..wow...many thanks for taking us with you..Best wishes
That pano is one of your greatest images!❤
Your last video of the Iceland highlands was amazing, the scenery was incredible. This has been a bucket list for a long time, and you have reinforced my desire to go there. The images you showed us were works of art and I appreciate your passion to get it right. I truly enjoy watching your channel. Must say again your trip to the Artic is still my favorite. Would love to go there as well.
Great pictures, what a gorgeous place. Sorry that you missed the first day with low clouds. those photos were great
Looks awesome, hope to be able to go there someday. Thanks for sharing!
That panorama is spectacular 👏
Thank you for taking care of the land while photographing ❤❤❤ you’re a gem sir!
