- Landscape photography and camping overnight on St Kilda, Scotland's most remote island. I take my Infrared camera and my Nikon Z7 II and enjoy some landscape photography on this remote, uninhabited island.

Just started watching... The intro Thomas was brilliant.
Well played on the acronym, actually laughed out loud.
Will come back after seeing the rest of the video
Haha, that's good to know 👍
Enjoyed that video. In regards to the comparison between Infrared and the Nikons B/W convert. My son said that the infrared looked like a picture at Christmas ( hes 6 lol).
Its a place id like to visit myself but you are not the only one to say its a luck of the draw type place.
Panos both look good, I prefer the colour version personally. Hows the Nikon doing?
Sooo don't get scammed by a TWAT. Good info. I actually feel for this on another channel when it first came out. Fortunately I figured out what was going on before it cost me any money. Thanks for the PSA on the TWAT's.
I’m a simple man. I see a new Heaton vid, I click.
And you like.
Love it.
I like the infrared more, simply because in the regular BW the vegetation and the ground are too similar in grey value. With the IR you have that contrast an variation on the island.
+1👍
Agree on that. In regular BW there's nothing striking in the image to caught our eyes attention, the island looks bare. But in IR, we get the texture details on the island, contrast against the dark clouds behind, easily getting our eyes to look straight at the island.
This! 👆
I agree 100%
I have been watching your videos for six years! My high school had a photography class and I never stopped. When I worked too much to get out and shoot I would watch your videos to feel like I was still going out and taking pictures. When I did have the time to get out, I would find motivation in your videos. I finally ordered your calendar for the first time and I'm excited to have a signed print from the guy I've been virtually shooting with for years! I truly love these videos.
Same here. Been watching since 2016. Can't get enough.
The intro was one of the best ever. The last shot was just wonderful
I've had an internet nightmare today, so this video is late. I have also taken the liberty of adding a pre-roll warning message about scam comments, so be aware & don't get scammed today. Finally. I forgot to plug my book in the video, so here is a link to my shop where you will find books & prints :) thomasheaton.co.uk/shop/ I hope you enjoy the video.
Thomas Heaton at his best. I thoroughly enjoy these photo adventures.
I like the natural shot of the island. The infrared makes it look like there is snow on the island. I like seeing the reality of a scene.
It's a real pleasure to accompany you to those wonderful locations again and again. Thank you very much !!! :)
I hope I can express myself well... I'm from Argentina.
I started watching your videos recently.
And every time I see them, my chest fills with emotion, because of the way you talk, the landscapes you photograph from a country I don't know, make me cry with joy. I really appreciate your work. Greetings from Buenos Aires
One of your best, Tom.
Can only echo Barry's comment on the intro.....also laughed out loud!
Wow !! St Kilda l was glued to this. What a camp spot, pristine. IR Mmm not sure, nice to see the detail of the land, and as you say a bit of a snow storm. Its artistic for sure, but l do love a bit of atmosphere so praps l prefer the natural photo. Hey what a choice 😁 l would have had a hard job leaving without a photo of the birds in the landscape. Thanks for the warning at the beginning, such a blow that you have this going on, youre not alone. Big thanks Thomas for taking us along, deffinately one of the best. Take care Alioban xx
Loved the disclaimer at the start. Preferred the IR shot - I think it was more impactful.
I am fascinated by St Kilda and its history and to see the island from a photographers eye has been an enjoyable experience.
Absolutely loved the Public Service Announcement 😂 Nicely done. Great vid too 👍
I love that inferred version of your first shot, the reason why is it just catches my eye more, there's more texture and boldness where the Nikon shot just looks flat and dull when you compare the island in both scenes. Great you done this even though it wasn't intentionally a compassion. now to watch the rest of the video that I am really enjoying.
I really like the infrared image, I love the contrast.
1:30 🤣 well put!
Hands down the best anti-scammer message I've ever seen! Beautiful shots
Your vlogs are honestly better than any TV show. You have such talent in all fields: Photography, video, directing, visualization, sound, light, and so much more. I've been watching for 6 years and you have found your nitch and road along the way. Keep going because someday soon major publishing company is going to swallow this up. It will be a bittersweet moment for a lot of us but always happy to see success. Thank you!!
Ha ha! Best intro ever! Love the abbreviation
IR The white looked like the best snowfall. It just grabs your attention and you look a little longer. This video was beautifully put together, great job Thomas I loved it.
I love that last image! 😍
LOVED that Intro against Scamers! hahaha WEL DONE! Epic video too!
Absolutely nailing it again, OMG! Lighter pockets but a full soul, what a place! Cracking video Tom! I think this is a better shout than going to the Faroes…
Man the IR conversion really made that trip for you, wonderful images those IR ones, very crispy!
That opening was great informative and love the acronym
Loving this Video. Best photography adventure video so far Thomas.
I prefer the IR photo of the island, because the white foliage creates a nice contrast with the surrounding water and sky. Also, I love snow!
That final shot...wow..she's a keeper.
just had the biggest hardest laugh I've had in a long time from that intro, was seeing it coming and thought "nah you wouldn't would you" and bust out laughing 😂
The infrared shot of the island makes you appear even more badass as it looks like the island is snow capped and you are out there in the winter :-)
thanks for another amazing video!
by the way, I like the infrared more!
IR in the first photo was insane, I wasn’t expecting to like that 👌
OMG. Think that's the best acronym ever. I will totally remember TWAT as to not get scammed.
The inclusion of the boat in the first photo makes it truly epic! You need it for scale, absolutely amazing photograph! Great video as always Mr. Heaton.
Yeah, I didn't realise how important that boat would be until I got home and imported my images 👍
Amazing Thomas, I’ve been waiting for this one after you mentioned the trip! 🙏🏻
Hahahaha loved that opening and classy way to deal with the total bell-ends out there. Cracking video as always.
The IR shot was stunning
You might not have got the best photos but you had the opportunity to go to such a wonderful location. It's about the experience not just photos.
The intro was hilarious, but also something that you will never forget and therefore you will not fall prey to the scammers.
T - That
W - Was
A - Amazing
T - Thomas
Love the infrared image.
Great intro Thomas, straight out the Gavin Hardcastle school of intros. What a unique experience and grateful for you taking us along on your trip, the images were fabulous. The IR version was my favourite of the two due to the additional detail it was displaying and loved the final image too. Think I would have been spewing my breakkie back up based on the clips of the crossing.
The infrared is hauntingly beautiful.
I prefer the IR image of the island, the brightness on the grass draws my eye to the island which then draws the attention to the clouds against the darker sea.
Infrared 100% reason I love shooting that way as well as others have said there is more detail in the shot.
You had all that stillness, quite remarkable and what a good summary at the finish.
When that final T came on screen I nearly spat out my beer. Cheers Thomas!
Great video, that intro had me PMSL. I don't think I could have stomached that boat trip, it does seem like an awful lot of money, but a great experience none the less. For me definitely the IR image, for the same reasons you mentioned in the video.
Wow Tom... first you complain about the horrible misty conditions, next you create this classic masterpiece of photography.
Thank you for taking us to the wild places where the majority of us average people may never have the privilege of going. Hounds of the Baskerville fog? When the first moon landing happened they interviewed some old guy in some state near Texas and he said he didn’t believe it it was just a TV show made in a studio and the earth is flat….. I saw the fog and thought he’s in a studio lol 😂 You are so privileged to shoot on location and we are so fortunate that you share in such a stellar way. Thank You 🙏
I like the infrared picture because the is more contrast and more to discover. As you said, it raises questions. 😄
The ir pano was spectacular! Really shows that even on a grey day there are shots to be had.
Love the infrared island and clouds photo. I see more detail and contrast in the clouds.
Infrared one for me. The island is your subject and you have way more detail on it in the ir image vs visible light 😊👍🏻
That final image is beautiful. really great.
Made the trip last year with the same company same boat same crossing conditions, just as well the seats air sprung. When we arrived at St.Kilda the fog/ mist had rolled in and we weren't allowed up the hill or to wander too far from the village. It spoiled the photography but not the experience, the fog enhanced the eerie feeling of the place and made me appreciate what the people who lived there went through. Glad I went and I hope that are to. The IR shots are fantastic by the way. 👍😎
I do like an acronym! Well done you, for making your viewers & followers aware. I'm setting my heart on Skye for next year's camp. Keep up the good work.
I tell you what, that last image was absolutely amazing. Expensive trip, a shame it is so expensive...still be great to go!!!
Gotta comment on the tremendous effort of setting the camera for every shot while you talk about what you're going to do with your other cameras, or while you trek up the mountain and all that. So well done, so much work in this video. Congrats! By the way, I fell in love with St Kilda (that's why I found this video!). Subscribed! keep it up.
Coming back to channel after...i dont know years of a break from YT as a whole. I remember watching you back in the day of hand held cams and Nisi filters. Glad to see you're still going strong.
loved the start!! 🤣 and the Vid!!
Last image is amazing! Quite the adventure!
The video is showing me that you haven't got to save the infrared for bright sunny days, both the Infrared shots I have seen so far are superb.
Loved the subtle hidden sentiment in your PSA at the beginning. I’m still chuckling to myself.
Fantastic intro. Love the message to the scammers 😂 Looking fwd. To the rest of the video 😊
Thank you for the content, I enjoy this more than watching the telly!. The effort that goes into coming up with, planning, capturing, editing and publishing this kind of film...every week...is immense. the mental effort required to keep on top of it and remain as enthusiastic (without appearing fake) as you are, must be huge. Top Stuff.
This is terrific
Awesome stuff Tom. We are indeed spoilt for choice in the UK for landscape photography and St Kilda has long been on my radar as a location to visit one day. But as you rightly point out, it's costly and risky.....so will that stop me going....well your video and photos has not demised my desire to go. :-)
The Infared worked stunningly well!
I prefer the infrared shot. The details are clearer and more exciting to look at. The clouds are more dramatically beautiful.
Infrared…the grass looks like snow and that just adds to the chilling effect of the clouds.
On the first two scenes I really liked the infrared shots best. The white instead of the dark green of the grass really draws the eye into the scene.
I also really enjoyed that last shot though.
I know it was a lot of expense for you for not a lot of return but I appreciate being able to see and to some level experience a place I'll probably never go to myself.
Thank you for bringing us along for your trip to the isle
The IR image is outstanding! It makes me think differently 'about' the image/scene.
TWAT think I’ve got that. Nice and easy to remember thanks Tom for keeping us safe on the internet.
Great breakdown of how to watch out for TWATs.
Thomas can't thank you enough for another great video, I would never be able to do the same, so watching it thru your camera is amazing. And YES I will watch out for any TWAT's.
I just hope that Gavin comes up with another acronym. too funny, love your channel and will be holding my breath for a TWAT message ar ar ar
Spent 6 days here just before you. Truly magical place and I was lucky enough to have some better weather. The history of the crofts and the indigenous population who left in 1930 is also amazing. You will just have to come back. I'm intending to at some point. BW
I like the infrared shot best. To me the island looks snow capped and more interesting.
Loved the intro! 😂 Your videos continue to amaze me.
Best acronym ever. Great approach to stopping the scammers. I'm now getting funny looks as it was a laugh out loud moment 🤣
I like the infrared because it is a more compelling image because the way the grass appeared. This video is one of my favorites by you.
Love the IR picture and overall ambiance of the video!!
Cracking images Thomas. I prefered the IR image as it gave more detail. Some of the scenes with the birds flying looked prehistoric! I bet the lack of people was bliss!
Re the acronym I expected the Scam S at the end 😅😅😅too funny 😅
😂😂❤ I just died laughing at the PSA very cleverly done
Wildly dramatic amazing photos!!!!
Thanks for sharing the location, you are inspiring and make me want to get out, camp, photo and sharing let's me know what is possible next time I'm in the UK!
One of your best mate. I am enjoining your recent optimism, It's mid winter in NZ which for me means rain and work. The infra red creates contrast definition and it seems to have given you a boost of positivity & creativity. We can all do with a bit of that!
Just as you said "I've got the whole place to myself" about 7.15 in, I started viewing this as one of those 'found footage' films where, you we're never seen again, and the whole shebang descends into some horror type scenario.......😆
Haha. That might have been the case if I missed the boat.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Having seen a clip of the boat, I would've almost wanted to stay on St Kilda regardless! 🤣 And I've been on some rough boats! Next stop Shetland Thomas, it's a beautiful place, I've been up numerous times with my wife being from there, you'd love it, lots of remote places to explore.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto P.S. Loving the IR work, and you have my absolute sympathies re the midgies. They really are relentless.
Yeah, but how do we know it's really you in the video? 🤣😂🤣 Love it!!
Man.. that boat ride alone would've ruled it out for me. Excellent images!
Love the pano IR shot!
I like the Infrared, it's kind of mysterious, the cloud detail is Fabulous and it makes the island look almost like an Iceberg, Brilliant 👏
What a great mnemonic to guard against scammers.
I've never even heard of this place but now I want to go there! Incredible footage man!
I like the IR one, its just so striking.
And yet another great video. Thank you so very much. :)
That acronym during the PSA was brilliant.
I like the IR photo. Even though it looks like a rock covered in bird poop, I feel it has more contrast, which make it more interesting to me.
Cheers Tom!
I prefer the infrared of the island because it's different and more mysterious looking. You encouraged me to pick up an infrared camera last week and enjoying it. thanks
