It's time Thomas to elevate your work to the next level. Like it or not, as a pro landscape photographer you ultimately have to some day move to medium format. You have the drive and youth on your side. You have the knowledge and the dogged determination to succeed, and incredible locations to explore, but your efforts are not maximized by using tools with short-comings in image fidelity. I love you man and I want nothing but the best for you and I believe anything short of perfection in your eyes is unacceptable. The soon to be released Fujifilm GFX 100 megapixel is a tool worth considering. Why am I so passionate? Because I would like someday to walk into a world acclaimed gallery and see your breathtaking photographs at a level that truly surpass the so-called "fine prints" of others in your field. Greg
I used to live at a 2 and a half hour drive from there and now it's a 14h flight. I miss that place so much, thanks for the great video and emotions/nostalgia... One of my favorite place on earth :)
There is something about that black and white image of the Matterhorn, as I sat here looking at that photo I could feel emotions and the stunning beauty of it all. I just started tearing up, such an amazing shot, thank you!!
From the beginning untill the end this video doesn’t let your eyes go off the screen. The moments and images you shared are “telling” a breathtaking story.
Laurterbrunnen in one of my favourite places in the world. I was there last year, just passing through. It was simply incredible. Switzerland has the be one of the most beautiful countries on Earth too. Beautiful images, Thomas. I'm loving these videos.
Breathtaking! Some of the video of the photographers set up on the mountain tops lookong out at that gorgeous view are breathtaking. Wow! I'm going to re-watch and freeze some of those shots. Maybe a calendar of photos showing your workshop attendees. Wow!
On the matterhorn / cloud picture, when the close up preview started I was surprised to see that you went for black an white. When I could see the whole image my eyes opened wide. Beautiful image! Great video as always.
Hello Thomas, I often feel that not only are you a gifted photographer you always manage to get good luck with the light, colour and weather. Very enjoyable to watch. And those beers looked great also....
I was there in Lauterbrunnen earlier this summer as well. On one of the days I was there, I had roughly the same conditions as you had. It gives me great pleasure to see that I was having similar ideas about compositions in the valley. Mine didn't turn out as good as yours tho
6:56 gave me chills and now I'm pregnant. Switzerland truly is up there on my bucket list of adventuring and photography, thank you for inspiring Thomas!
I just got done watching this video it is absolutely beautiful scenery of that morning with all of those Mountain Ridge line with the clouds and all of those other beautiful shots you've taken from the road on
The Cervino, in italy we call the Matterhorn like that, one of the most beatiful mountain around the world, to climb too ;) Great work! As always! You’re just the best Thomas!
Inspiring video Thomas! The Mattterhorn & Zermatt area is really gorgeous. I was there 2 years ago in November. The entire area was covered in 40cm of snow. It looked completely different from what I see in your video :)
Great video as usual. Amazing images. I do love the misty/cloudy images. I noticed one sun ray shining from the top of that little cloud right onto the peak. Wonderful.
Thomas, I'd say that, you always appreciate the present situation and never say that you disappointed. in short, you're always pessimistic; don't ever drop the words like "Be-U-tiful".. from your jargon. keep up the good work. God bless!

You are truly a lucky man who are blessed with this options to travel and see the world, and doing so while taking gorgeous pictures along the way... Thank you for yet another beautiful video!!
WOW WOW WOW!!! This has to be your best vlog yet Thomas!!!! I totally felt like I was there, just unbelievable, the whole video was edited so well. Thank you so much for sharing it. One day I hope I can join you on one of your trips. they look so inspiring. Keep up your great work, looking forward to sunrise.
I’d like to think I’d be among the group setting out despite the weather. Maybe one day I’ll have the chance to find out. Simply staggering video, Thomas.
Nice work. I go to Switzerland every summer. Best time of year is July, you get the right balance of green grass down to low altitudes, mountain streams full, snow and sunshine. Best place for photography I found is the ridge above Murren looking across to the Eiger and the Lauterbrunnen wall. Sunsets are better than sunrises as the UV haze at that altitude destroys photos like nothing on earth. The Blumenthal meadows are covered in alpine flowers right to the 3rd week of August. Good hunting and thanks for the inspiring videos
Typical Thomas Heaton - there I was admiring the subtle tones of the image with the contrasting vibrant orange of the sunset lighting the cloud, thinking wow and then you make it a mono :D A nice shot whether colour or monotone.
Tomas, Absolutely gorgeous surrounding! What a beautiful trip for any photographer to take, stunning compositions everywhere, your images are stunning. Thank you very much for sharing this trip, makes me want to pack my bag and head out the door right now! Again, my thanks.
Just when I started getting caught up in all the gear reviews and all the discussion over the new cameras out right now, your video grounds me and reminds me that I need to get off the computer and go out and shoot
Looking out across the scene for the first 70 seconds, you knew there was something special coming and that image was breathtaking. Looking at the Matterhorn you suddenly realise the skill of those who have climbed it and thought the final image was superb
I don't know what it is, but lately (prob this whole summer actually) I've had a lot of problems with black and white landscapes. I don't know what is it, guess I've been so interested in color, but I feel like black and white robs the image of something very significant and beautiful. Especially on sunsets/sunrises. So I'm very interested as to why Thomas decided to convert to bnw, since I thought the lightning and color were minimalistic and beautiful. Of course, it's your decision, Thomas and I wouldn't argue about it, but I'd just like to know more about your thought process on this particular image, since I really think it'd work so much better without the bnw conversion. Thanks for the inspiration, as usual!
8:15 does life get any better than this? Really wouldn't mind being there! 12:34 Why did you go for a B/W? The pink cloud with the faint blue sky was just perfect. What a difference a cloud makes. Only photographers can be so happy with one single small cloud ;-)
Thanks, Tom, I've been enjoying your recent videos from Switzerland (gorgeous) and your new studio, which looks fantastic. You seem busy, but enjoying all your activities. I really loved your Matterhorn "sunset" image with single cloud, particularly in b/w. Take care, my friend. Bob
I can't even describe how jealous I am. I spent a couple days in Zermatt last summer and I only saw the bottom third of the mountain. It was clouded over the entire time. Quite a bummer.
Thanks Thomas for such an inspiring video :) Wow, being above the clouds & capturing that 1st image looked so amazing. Those layers of the mountains & clouds are just superb. What a lovely start to the day. And then the Matterhorn- ( it takes my breath away! Phew! ) What a wonderful scenic location! So thrilled for you all that the sunset eventually gave you reflections & a beautiful cloud . Truly gorgeous!
Isn’t the Matterhorn just majestic mountain! I hiked to the oberrothorn and just sat there looking over to the Matterhorn. Only good thing about this (stay at home) malarkey is watching your videos. Amazing photographer 🇮🇪😊
Thomas, love it! And by the way very kind of you to not compromising me but covering myself in "half of the group made the decision to...". Nevertheless, outing myself: it was not half of the group but only me... 🤫
Thomas you do more for photography than you'll ever know.A friend watched one of your videos and now happily enjoys the outdoors like never before,thanks.
Ah! Such a tease with the night photography! One of your first videos was a night shoot and I’ve been looking forward to another one with “new sexy B roll” equipment and new shooting gear!
This will probably never happen but it would be so cool to see you, Peter McKinnon, Matti Haapoja, Even Ranft, Chris Hau, and Brendan van Son all do a collab together just hanging out making photos and video sequences. You guys are the best!
Again great job! Surprised to see the "closed" photo see in black/white didn't expect that one coming :) on the vlog the color looks great, or was the small "haze" (?) In front of the peak killing the photo in color version?
The Matterhorn is a world icon, like the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal or Delicate Arch; there are millions of photos of it out there from every conceivable angle, some of a very high caliber. That you were able to do something original and worthwhile here is a considerable achievement.
Hi Tom, I agree. Although there were some nice contrast in the B&W image, I thought there was enough hints of orange and pink on the small cloud to have a colour image too. Nothing wrong with the B&W image, in my opinion the colour image could be something special too (even with the potential of some dead sky areas). As you mentioned in your video, the cloud makes to shot 🙂
Super nice video again, keep showing this amazing photos and journeys. Too bad though you choose to make the matterhorn sunset picture a black and white photo. The colors made it so dramatic with all the contrast... Looking forward to the sunrise video
you should get a few shots from the Kleine Matterhorn or shots over the border into Cervinia/Italy just over the big pointy hill ..... plateau rosa.... magic stuff again Tom....
Incredible!! Just Incredible!! Makes me want to go out right now here in Texas USA and get some shots - even though it is pouring down rain!!! Thanks so much for this video -truly inspiring!
I'm quite interested into why in these workshops or videos everyone always has their camera set up for the same composition, pointing in the same direction, 5 to 8 people too. Is it part of the workshop? No different compositions with a variety of angles for people? Or just lack of compositions and one really good one? I've never done one of these before so I wouldn't know, but anyway great video!
I gave you a thumbs up mainly because I'm here at work and I know how your content is and always beautiful footage and photography so I will be watching this when I get home
Great shot of the Matterhorn! thanks for sharing your trips with us ;-) haha I made it in your vid^^ at 5:03 I'm hiding in the Background around the trees. I have a shot which I'm quiet happy with from this day. Slainte
Amazing views and content Thomas. There was a time when you were not that comfortable taking videos with others around, these workshop have taken good care of that it seems now :)
stunning > gorgeous > glorious

Beautiful images, Thomas. I'm loving these videos.
12.36 Is one of my favourite photographs I have ever seen. Love it!
Black and White , just sets that image top shelf. Love the shadow from the Matterhorn showing the way to the cloud.
classy move from Paul. Good form.
Breathtaking! Some of the video of the photographers set up on the mountain tops lookong out at that gorgeous view are breathtaking. Wow! I'm going to re-watch and freeze some of those shots. Maybe a calendar of photos showing your workshop attendees. Wow!
Every silver lining needs a cloud!
Lovely image of the Matterhorn and a great tale to watch. Thanks.

Hello Thomas, I often feel that not only are you a gifted photographer you always manage to get good luck with the light, colour and weather. Very enjoyable to watch. And those beers looked great also....
What a fantastic trip sir. The layers of mountains is a dream. Always enjoy watching you work.
Why do I watch you? cuz you are living the dream and it always takes me away. You are fantastic!
I was there in Lauterbrunnen earlier this summer as well. On one of the days I was there, I had roughly the same conditions as you had. It gives me great pleasure to see that I was having similar ideas about compositions in the valley. Mine didn't turn out as good as yours tho
just love these video's, they are so calming especially when I watch them on the tv.
6:56 gave me chills and now I'm pregnant. Switzerland truly is up there on my bucket list of adventuring and photography, thank you for inspiring Thomas!
I just got done watching this video it is absolutely beautiful scenery of that morning with all of those Mountain Ridge line with the clouds and all of those other beautiful shots you've taken from the road on
That shot at 3:35 was probably my favourite photo you’ve ever taken! Brilliant job. Would love to see that on a massive metal print - like 60inch+
That last image of the Matterhorn is something special. Really nice.
Been a fan of your work for a while now. I don't comment much but I think I've watched all of your videos. Some of them multiple times.
The Cervino, in italy we call the Matterhorn like that, one of the most beatiful mountain around the world, to climb too ;)
Great work! As always!
You’re just the best Thomas!
Absolutely stunning! That lodge is on a damn ridge! Wow.
So full of peace i watched it twice. Lovely. Thankyou 😊
After a long and tiring day, watching thomas’ videos is some kind of relaxation technique to me.... Stunnin’ as always...
what a stunning place, so envious. Thank-you for showing these wonderful places though your photography
Another masterpiece video by Thomas Heaton.
Home now,enjoying the vlog Thomas,what a place,absoooolutely stunning.
Travel safe.
Inspiring video Thomas!

That was a lovely video. Gorgeous views. Great photos. Nice job pal.
Even though I'm mainly a portrait photographer, you're so talented and make quality content. Always appreciate a video from you.
Thomas, I'd say that, you always appreciate the present situation and never say that you disappointed. in short, you're always pessimistic; don't ever drop the words like "Be-U-tiful".. from your jargon. keep up the good work. God bless!
You are truly a lucky man who are blessed with this options to travel and see the world, and doing so while taking gorgeous pictures along the way... Thank you for yet another beautiful video!!
Absolutely love the dude at 3:03 trying to put the lens on with the lens cap still attached. We've all done it!
WOW WOW WOW!!! This has to be your best vlog yet Thomas!!!! I totally felt like I was there, just unbelievable, the whole video was edited so well. Thank you so much for sharing it. One day I hope I can join you on one of your trips. they look so inspiring. Keep up your great work, looking forward to sunrise.
I'd really like to see your take on night sky photography
I’d like to think I’d be among the group setting out despite the weather. Maybe one day I’ll have the chance to find out. Simply staggering video, Thomas.
Wow, what a tremendous reward for your perseverance!
Just beautiful Thomas 👌🏼💙 One of your top ten episodes 👍🏻🤗

Excellent video Thomas! Great image of the Matterhorn.
So much joy a single cloud can bring :) Got to love landscape photography...
RIP "stunning", "gorgeous" is taking over...
'Stunning' is reserved for the very best!
Stunningly Gorgeous?😏
And when he drops the G and just says "stunnin," that when you know things are really getting serious.
Amazing video !! I was thinking you should do a compilation of all your photos you've taken at the end of the year or something!!
desperate to see matterhorn pic in colour. cracking video again Thomas! Loving it
8:15 does life get any better than this? Really wouldn't mind being there!
12:34 Why did you go for a B/W? The pink cloud with the faint blue sky was just perfect.
What a difference a cloud makes. Only photographers can be so happy with one single small cloud ;-)
That image is stunning. So good.
Thanks, Tom, I've been enjoying your recent videos from Switzerland (gorgeous) and your new studio, which looks fantastic. You seem busy, but enjoying all your activities. I really loved your Matterhorn "sunset" image with single cloud, particularly in b/w. Take care, my friend. Bob
Thanks, Bob. I hope you're keeping well and enjoying the high life in Italy 👍
I can't even describe how jealous I am. I spent a couple days in Zermatt last summer and I only saw the bottom third of the mountain. It was clouded over the entire time. Quite a bummer.

So thrilled for you all that the sunset eventually gave you reflections & a beautiful cloud . Truly gorgeous!
I would have loved to see your astrophotography! Even if there was no video footage. Great vid as usual bru👍
amazing place
You've got great vibe! Love your work, Keep it up Mr. Heaton.
Beautiful images and that beer’s not bad either! Nothing better than a cold Rugenbrau after a day in the hills!
I really like how you create and tell your stories. Love from the Philippines.
I love your work, channel and wonderful images. Thank! Thomas.
Hey Thomas,
It would be great if you could do an episode showcasing some of the images the people on your groups capture.
Love the videos.
Ben
Isn’t the Matterhorn just majestic mountain! I hiked to the oberrothorn and just sat there looking over to the Matterhorn. Only good thing about this (stay at home) malarkey is watching your videos. Amazing photographer 🇮🇪😊
Visited Zermatt and the Matterhorn nine years ago. Loved it.
Amazing video, as always. I am intrigued to see the night/astro shots you got, please do share, even if you don't like them!
Would have liked to see the colour version of the final shot.
Thomas, love it! And by the way very kind of you to not compromising me but covering myself in "half of the group made the decision to...". Nevertheless, outing myself: it was not half of the group but only me... 🤫
12:45, the moire pattern makes the water surface look like literally fluctuating. Interesting!
12:33, sry
Thomas you do more for photography than you'll ever know.A friend watched one of your videos and now happily enjoys the outdoors like never before,thanks.
Cheers, Paul. Niceness spreads quickly and the gift made me smile.
I should add - I was not there. I smiled from afar watching the video.
Ah! Such a tease with the night photography! One of your first videos was a night shoot and I’ve been looking forward to another one with “new sexy B roll” equipment and new shooting gear!
Figures. It was addressed in THE VERY NEXT video. Gosh I gotta catch up.
Hopefully one day I will be able to join one of your workshops but they sell out too quickly
Chris Waistle exactly, I never seen to have money when a new workshop is announced.
I never have matching holidays...
This will probably never happen but it would be so cool to see you, Peter McKinnon, Matti Haapoja, Even Ranft, Chris Hau, and Brendan van Son all do a collab together just hanging out making photos and video sequences. You guys are the best!
Again great job! Surprised to see the "closed" photo see in black/white didn't expect that one coming :) on the vlog the color looks great, or was the small "haze" (?) In front of the peak killing the photo in color version?

Show us the Matterhorn colour one, pls :-)
I’d love to see it as well.
Hi Tom, I agree. Although there were some nice contrast in the B&W image, I thought there was enough hints of orange and pink on the small cloud to have a colour image too.

What an amazing place, definitely some where you'll remember for a long time. I too love that cloud!
Yay, Lauterbrunnen! It's only 15 Km away from my hometown (Interlaken).
Great vlog as always!
you should get a few shots from the Kleine Matterhorn or shots over the border into Cervinia/Italy just over the big pointy hill ..... plateau rosa.... magic stuff again Tom....
Ohh. My dream is also getting there, Thomas. Love your travels. KEEP GOING ON!
Incredible!! Just Incredible!! Makes me want to go out right now here in Texas USA and get some shots - even though it is pouring down rain!!! Thanks so much for this video -truly inspiring!
Wow Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

These utude films of yours just get better and better I'm well and truly an addict now and always ready for my next fix
Black and white for the last image, well i never!! Thought the colour in that cloud was sure to feature!
Fantastic composition, well done!
Your videos are so inspiring! Thx! ☺️
Fantastic, I would love to see the photograph of the Matterhorn in color 😁
I gave you a thumbs up mainly because I'm here at work and I know how your content is and always beautiful footage and photography so I will be watching this when I get home
Just awesome Thomas. Thank you so much!!!
Hey Paul! Come and comment here, wanna see you! :) And, dear Thomas, everything is awesome! Loved it!
Man, superb use of the music going with the story to emphasize your storytelling
Great shot of the Matterhorn! thanks for sharing your trips with us ;-) haha I made it in your vid^^ at 5:03 I'm hiding in the Background around the trees. I have a shot which I'm quiet happy with from this day. Slainte
Amazing views and content Thomas. There was a time when you were not that comfortable taking videos with others around, these workshop have taken good care of that it seems now :)
Yes, this is true. It all depends on the people I am with. 4 years on and I am Getting better. 👍
This channel is the best.
What made you go for a B&W ?? Amazing how one little cloud can change things!!!
