I've always struggled with stress and anxiety, but have just found landscape and nature photography. It's forced me to slow down and I've actually felt 'happy and relaxed' for the first time in years. Great video, this might just be addictive!
I have gotten so much from you. I've gotten the kids to go out at 3am. They Loved it , nature awoke and they experienced it. They have gone out again, it's like waking them for Christmas. Not that that's ever had to be done. With just a whisper and a light touch and we're in the car. Images are garbage but the memories are Priceless.
"Images are garbage but the memories are Priceless." Well said and my sentiments exactly, that's how my fishing use to be and now trying my hand at outdoor photography. Practice and hopefully the memories become priceless images too.
I totally agree with you. One of my favorite parts of photography is getting out in nature, away from people, and just hearing the sounds of my surroundings. No earbuds, no conversations, just peaceful. Thank you for your videos, you make beautiful images!
This video has completely changed my attitude to photography. I was a happy snapper with pretensions of being half decent. This weekend I turned my camera to manual, LOOKED at the image I wanted to capture and set about creating that image. I slowed down and took far fewer shots, but they were all considered with adjustments made after looking the result. I enjoyed my three hours in Matlock Bath far more because I took my time. Thank you Thomas.
Hi again Thomas after voicing your concerns with the stresses of your channel and the haters and bad comments i just wanted to say that you nail it. You engage, share, provoke thought, show emotion and most if all show amazing images and how you got them which added together does nothing but inspire us to try again and appreciate your time and effort producing these film gems. Thank you. This was stunning and so was the image.
You are so right! In the past I went around take a picture and move to the next location. Now I take my time, go around, sometimes just stand there and take all in. Then when I am feeling it take my picture. Thank you Thomas!
Thank you very much for giving me the right attitude & mind set so that my shooting will change from today. Normally I'm full on. Non stop walking, shoot, look for the next shot, shoot, go home. Never again. I found this video only a short while ago but thanks to you my attitude is better focused now on the important part of photography. Enjoy, patience,relax. Thank Thomas. Neville.
Thanks, Thomas. The more I practice landscape photography, the more I realize patience is of utmost importance. I really enjoyed this video. Cheers, Bob
I really appreciate your calm and patient attitude. I always seem to rush while shooting, and your videos encourage me to slow down. Thanks for the inspiration, Thomas!
Thank you Thomas, I have learn and enjoy a lot from your creations (this video and the photo) and I would say the biggest treasure started on 11:22. "... ... it doesn't matter. I got what I came for, I've a very nice morning and I can enjoy the rest of the day now, knowing that I've created something and my time has been well spent. " - Thomas Heaton I just hope more people would learn and apply this in life, knowing and understand why we come for in life, then be patience and do our very best to pursuit for it. When it's time for us to depart, we can proudly say "I got what I came for, and my time has been well spent."
I don't know how many times I have watched this video but it's quite a few times! I just love the message in this one. Slowing down is something that I need to do. Quality over quantity!! Thanks Tom for all your vids... I love them all
You have a gift in taking your time. I always get to a location and I get shutter crazy. You can see that with my landscape photography vlogs and how frantic I am. Lesson learned. Cheers Thomas!
Your videos are just sublime. They have transformed the way I see things. Even driving up the A1 today. I kept seeing groups of trees that just screamed Autumn. Also every now and then there would be a group with a silver Birch in front of them like a beacon . That just demands to be photographed. I would not even have noticed this if I had not watched your videos. Thank you.
I am an ER doctor and every day i have to deal with the job's stress, human pain and chaotic, bad situations. Unfortunately when i end my shift i carry with me a big chunk of thepast day's stress which even if i go out to take some photos the chaotic situation comes with me and it's difficult to concentrate,relax and get rid of it. You have the gift to transmit calm and order to other people and you really help me get rid of my mind's "noise". Keep up the great job and keep inspiring us!
Hi Thomas, I just wanted to take the time to say, I love your channel and the work you put in! You’ve inspired me to keep practicing at my photography. At the moment I’m trying to set up my own videography business and got a lot of inspiration from you, so thanks for that! Ps loved the Q&A from Tenerife 👍
I’ve been following your channel for a while and have finally taken your advice and headed out for the sunrise. I got a couple of images I’m really pleased with. Thank you for being a fantastic inspiration.
The drone work(and I know nothing abut drones) looks amazing. The smooth steady flight between the trees and branches is something. The high arial views are something most of us mortals never used to see. They are mesmerizing to me. This vid reminded me that I took a shot three yrs. ago that I need to re-visit. One bush of beautiful color after ten miles of ATV riding. I hope it is still there.
Nailed it again Tom. Patience always works. Stunning shot. Absolutely beautiful and we'll worth the wait. I can't get over the look of joy on your face when you had completed the shots and you saw the results. Roll on Fridays video. Stay safe.
Hi Thomas, thank you very much for one more amazing video. Slow down and patience are indeed needed to anyone who wants to start a journey in photography.
Loved the calmness of this video! I’ve been on many shoots where it’s a mad scramble wanting to capture everything. But focusing on one thing (like you’ve here) has its rewards. Can’t wait for your next video Tom!
What a beautiful image Tom. I understand what you mean about the peace. I spent 20 minuets this morning just stood watching a Heron and it’s reflection in my local Reservoir. It was doing nothing just stood and I was the same. Piece and quite you can’t beat it
hey Thom, Just wanted to say that, as a brazilian biologist used to being in the wild, this video communicate so well that feeling we get in some special mornings. Thanks for that.
Hi Thomas, thank you so much for your great inspiring videos. I´m watching them now since about a year and love them. The ones like this are my favorite, when you are outside in nature and enjoy photography. It´s so inspiring and keeps me going and motivated. Amazing shots like always. Thank you for sharing your work!
Just watched some of your videos for the first time tonight and loved them! You are like the "Bob Ross" of Landscape photography :) truly enjoy your work and will keep watching for sure!
Fantastic video. The premise is one that everyone who is into photography should be reminded of by watching this. It also reminds me I need to make more content out in nature, haha.
This is probably my toughest lesson. I have always been that guy that when there is work to be done i get after it immediately and i don't waste time. I like to complete my work quickly and efficiently. I have got to learn to slow down and be patient when taking pictures and video. Its very difficult but when i do slow down my work is FAR better. My pictures are much more clear and sharp when im able to just chill out and relax enough to get great shots. I'm learning slowly but surely. Thank you for your tutorials and photography lessons. I really enjoy them and I've learned a lot from you. You've influenced my photography and drone video more than you'll ever know. 😁👍
Forests can be so complex, screaming chaos, and yet offer a place of solitude and calm ... certainly I tip my virtual hat to those experts out there who offer up some incredible forest images .... Looks like you got some beautiful light Thomas ...
Here in Lapland all we got for this autumn was rain and wind. It was kinda depressing, because the colors were AMAZING, but the atmosphere was just so gray and miserable. Love your videos, they inspire me SO much and I have learnt so much from you. Much love from Finland :)
May we all find someone who looks at us the way Thomas looks at a beautiful scene in nature :-) Thanks for sharing this scene and process. The whole video was lovely. I'll be sharing it in my photography class today.
Both classes loved the video!!! Your enthusiasm for photography is contagious. They get tired of seeing my face twice a week, so a fresh face, voice and perspective is great for the students. Cheers!
You weren't lying when you said you had a cracking video coming on Wednesday! Amazing video - mind blowing drone shots, beautiful photo and a discussion about mindfulness. What more could we ask for!? Thanks Tom!

Great to see Monty again. You can't help but smile when you see how happy he is.

I've found some good photography channels, but this is the first time I've found true inspiration. Thank you for making such breathtaking videos.
Thanks, Thomas. The more I practice landscape photography, the more I realize patience is of utmost importance. I really enjoyed this video. Cheers, Bob
That it is.....learning patience .......at 57 years old, still trying to be learn
Excellent postcard image. My granny will like it.
I really appreciate your calm and patient attitude. I always seem to rush while shooting, and your videos encourage me to slow down. Thanks for the inspiration, Thomas!
I have only one word to describe this feeling.... Wonderful !
Thank you Thomas, I have learn and enjoy a lot from your creations (this video and the photo) and I would say the biggest treasure started on 11:22.

Look forward to these films twice a week.
I don't know how many times I have watched this video but it's quite a few times! I just love the message in this one. Slowing down is something that I need to do. Quality over quantity!! Thanks Tom for all your vids... I love them all
Your passion makes all of us better. Thanks men. Inspiring. We are not the only one crazy about tripping with a camera looking for the perfect moment.
you need never to worry about having a heart attack - this kind of tranquility will keep you young forever :)
Without a doubt, this is one of your best videos! You are an inspiration for anyone who loves landscape photography!
You have a gift in taking your time. I always get to a location and I get shutter crazy. You can see that with my landscape photography vlogs and how frantic I am. Lesson learned. Cheers Thomas!
Birds chirping at 7.00 is the real deal! Awesome video as ever.
Thank you Thomas for another lovely video. The light is so perfectly amazing. Hats off to your patience
The drone work at the beginning was also fantastic.
Every video is a perfect way to chill! So much great advice, beautiful music and excellent visuals. What a great way to spend quarter of an hour!
It was oddly relaxing to wait with you for that perfect moment. Thanks you!
Your videos are just sublime. They have transformed the way I see things. Even driving up the A1 today. I kept seeing groups of trees that just screamed Autumn. Also every now and then there would be a group with a silver Birch in front of them like a beacon . That just demands to be photographed.

When you smile, it reminds me how it feels when you get that perfect image😊😊it feels so nice
You are a good speaker and a great Photographer, we are lucky to see you at work.
I am an ER doctor and every day i have to deal with the job's stress, human pain and chaotic, bad situations.

That's a very nice comment to read, thank you for being so open. It means a lot.
Good to see you in my favourite environment, Tom. I hope there's plenty of autumn left when we get home. Thanks for the recommendation ;-)
Where else would we go at this time of year. I hope you're having a good time in Scotland.
All the seasons blend into one for me, to be honest. It's all good :). Scotland is great despite the lack of photography.
Cannot wait to see more of the collaboration between you two!
yes yes
that piano music with your voice and way you speak just work very well ...
Hi Thomas, I just wanted to take the time to say, I love your channel and the work you put in! You’ve inspired me to keep practicing at my photography.

Thanks Thomas! :)
Stunning! Patience certainly is a virtue!
Thanks for sharing the moment with us. Just beautiful.
Thanks Tom for another fantastic inspirational landscape photography vlog. Great image showing off autumnal colour 🍁👍🏼

Thank you for walking us through the story.
Beautiful. Autumn shots are the best. Love your photos and videos.
Splendid image and well worth the effort!
Nailed it again Tom.
Patience always works.

The most inspiring photography video I've seen, thanks for a great start to my day. Love your videos. Thanks

Can’t wait for your next video Tom!
Hello Thomas, I never get bored watching your videos. Great teacher!!
What a beautiful image Tom. I understand what you mean about the peace. I spent 20 minuets this morning just stood watching a Heron and it’s reflection in my local Reservoir. It was doing nothing just stood and I was the same. Piece and quite you can’t beat it
Oh yeah! Thanks so very much for all you do. An inspirational photo!

A terrifically placid and tranquil video. Thanks, Tom!
One of my favorite vids of yours. Calm.. relaxed.. quiet. Beauty all around. Perfect. 👌
Fantastic image. Lot's of patience waiting for enough of a break in the breeze. So glad your patience paid off. -Larry
We like calm and relaxed 😎🔆🌳
I've really been enjoying your content lately Thomas, you've really inspired me to ace my driving test so I can get out there and explore more!

Yet again another cracking vid, nice to see another slooooow one.
So I see Simon And his woodlands have rubbed off on you . Great, I love the wood. You help inspire me.

Excellent video, Thomas and beautiful image.. priceless. Also thanks for reminding to go slow when taking pictures. I need to learn that.
I’ve been waiting all day to watch this after I saw your Instagram post. Coffee in hand ready to watch. I’ve already hit the like button.
Discovered your channel a few weeks ago. It's now my favourite photography show. Well done and thank you.
Wow that was like a meditation! Great final image. Thanks
I found your video incredibly mentally therapeutic. I love your approach regarding finding that one shot.
Lovely video, Thomas. Beautiful colours.
You are AMAZING Thomas! Thanks for the inspiration!
Lovely. This video has such a soothing vibe. The biggest luxury we have is time, it is said we should waste it wisely.
Great comment with such wise words.
Thomas, I've been loving your music choices. The Peter Sandberg song has fit the mood in the past couple videos. Until next week, bye for now
I love this video, so calm.......absolutely stunning.
This has to be the most chilled I've seen you! Great vid as always Tom.
That video was so... soothing. If you never took up photography I think your calling was to become an audio book narrator.
Love your passion for the outdoors...
Excellent!!! Luvin the adventures, bud
Love the channel Thomas. Photography therapy!
Fantastic image there Thomas, beautiful autumnal colours and your drone shots are just second to none. Amazing man! Thank you as always!
That will be a great one to print really, really BIG!
As usual, great video Thom. Thanks for posting. Cheers brother.
One of my favorites Thomas! Keep it up
Your video always keeps inspiring me, thanks Tom
Bloody lovely image😉well worth the wait😆
Another great video Thomas, keep up the great work!!
Great video Thomas! lovely to see your passion for photography!
Your videos are truly inspiring. Thanks so much for your dedication to creating content for us!
Love the storytelling leading into finding the image. Also the golden WB colour in post works really well with the autumn vibe. Lovely work mate!!
Forests can be so complex, screaming chaos, and yet offer a place of solitude and calm ... certainly I tip my virtual hat to those experts out there who offer up some incredible forest images .... Looks like you got some beautiful light Thomas ...
Thanks Thomas
Yes, I agree. I struggle with woodland. It can be so challenging.
I do however now have a new dance mantra when I'm getting my grove on with some 80s beatbox 'big box little box spin the camera, take the image' :)
@Thomas Heaton you are such an amazing landscape photographer. I love watching your content.
Here in Lapland all we got for this autumn was rain and wind. It was kinda depressing, because the colors were AMAZING, but the atmosphere was just so gray and miserable. Love your videos, they inspire me SO much and I have learnt so much from you. Much love from Finland :)
What a picture, gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! :p
I love the mood of the video
It's relaxing. So calm! I love it on the photoshoot
Hi Thomas your channel is absolutely brilliant....You have given me a new lease of life.....Thank you......
May we all find someone who looks at us the way Thomas looks at a beautiful scene in nature :-) Thanks for sharing this scene and process. The whole video was lovely. I'll be sharing it in my photography class today.
That's a very poetic comment. Thanks for sharing this in your photography class, it means a lot.
Both classes loved the video!!! Your enthusiasm for photography is contagious. They get tired of seeing my face twice a week, so a fresh face, voice and perspective is great for the students. Cheers!
Great video, love autumn images and also i drink a tea with you.Thank!👌
i mean,this video is so good that it deserve no dislike
So very Zen Thomas. Gorgeous image
You weren't lying when you said you had a cracking video coming on Wednesday! Amazing video - mind blowing drone shots, beautiful photo and a discussion about mindfulness. What more could we ask for!? Thanks Tom!
Thanks a lot. Yes, I really enjoyed making this one. Sometimes they go well, sometimes they don't, as I'm sure you know :)
