Great video Thomas! You totally downplayed our fear of the metal hummingbird, it was totally homemade with zero security implemented! Haha. What a journey! I’ll get my video out in a week or two! See you on the next adventure!
Thanks for taking me along. I find rain forests one of the most enchanting places to visit. Not sure if I could live there. But I hope we can find a way to preserve this environment for my grandchildren.
Hi Thomas. I'm following you for several years now. I'm a Belgian who has been living in Ecuador for 32 years now, because I fell in love with the nature beauty and richness of this country. I'm very glad that you came visit Ecuador and that you enjoyed it. I hope that this will motive more photographers to write the name of Ecuador on their bucket list. This country is little-known in the world of landscape photographers and it's really a pity. The potential for creating beautiful images here is infinite. Welcome and has always a great video and amazing photos. Congrats I love what you do.
@@JonasPaurellUnscripted Hi Jonas. Great news. I didn’t know you were living in Ecuador. Welcome also and it will be a pleasure to meet with you. Maybe we can have a coffee and chat about the beautiful places in the country
Been a subscriber for almost probably 6 or 7 yrs now. Kinda got out of photography the past 4 or so. Coming back to your channel, it's insane how much better your videos are. And your photography has just gotten even more amazing.
Loved the video, I can tell how much excitement and appreciation this day brought to you Tom. That fear in your face realizing you have to take the hummingbird to get back is priceless.
Congratulations on visiting this wonderful place, on which landscape photography is not likely spend. Wildlife is abundantly present, and seems to ask for a different approach. Hummingbirds, being the diamonds in the sky, need to be seen from the same angle as the lightsource, in order to let their special colours stand out, not as you both did, from the shade. They are very approachable and not scared of you, as you're movements are way to slow. But the pictures you've taken, with such a high image quality, are stil stunning. Thanks for the post Thomas, I hope you've enjoyed 🙂
@@santiagomaldonado510 he wasn't referring to Ecuador. The last few videos he's posted, he has been in a different country each time. He was being sarcastic about how he's never home.
no snow and no cold weather this is extremely unusual for you channel and I love that…. put you in places out of your comfort zone and you still can produce fantastic images.
When I saw thumbnail and title, I went nuts! Always wanted to see a master like you photographing a rainforest. I live in Rio de Janeiro and strugle to capture the beauty in the caotic scenery and lighting conditions it brings. Actually, you should come here some day! We have beaches, rainforest and mountains (and wildlife). All in one place!! It would make a fantastic photography trip!
Such a fun video to watch. Your accommodations - amazing! What a view to wake up to. Loved the hummingbird images. That was quite a way to end your day - on a hummingbird ride.
Muy bien Thomas!! I always love your videos! This was so much fun! I love seeing you in such a different environment! I would love to see you head to Central America (Panama, Costa Rica or Belize) where some of my family lives next!!
Wow! Great Video! 👍🏻what a place to stay and fantastic images of the birds and the waterfall and as you said an awsome end to the video with great drone footage. Looking forward to the next one as always.
In the hills of Appalachia we calls those bridges swinging bridges. I'm sure you figured out why they are called that, lol. Beautiful images of the birds and the waterfall.
Looking at your outdoor spa bath, all I can think of as an Aussie that lives with bush all around is you'd be sharing it with some massive spiders! 🤣 Thankfully, your wildlife encounters looked much more enjoyable 😁 You've been absolutely killing it as a wildlife photographer...love it!
What a fantastic adventure, Thomas. I loved the toucan picture and the waterfall. I have photographed birds for the last several years so I know a bit about what you were experiencing with the foliage and the lighting. Last year I concentrated on hummingbirds and I kind of got my fill of them. This year I haven't tried to attract them with a feeder but I do have out some of their favorite flowers. That last cablecar "hummingbird" was enough to give you pause, wasn't it. I can empathize with that. About the accommodations: one night couldn't possible be enough. Glad you gave us a tour of that, too.
Pretty please.... more bird photography! 🐦😀 Particularly since this spot is so amazing for birds & wildlife!! I would love to visit there but it's so off my travel list... but I love seeing what you are seeing!! ~ Karen
I kept hopng the cable car's "wings" would flap!! What a wonderful adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Oh, and your accommodation is like something out of Lord of the Rings! Gorgeous.
I was smiling all through this video! Just wonderful! Especially the end (and the hummingbirds). Omg if I were your wife I’d be very jealous! I think you need to go again with her! 😀
The confidence of Jonas in the end and slight panic of Thomas was incredible
Wonderful. If Simon d'Entremont was watching I bet he was saying "I knew you can do it"!
I feel that if I stood at a coffee shop in an airport that I'd eventually run into Thomas. What a great year!
Great video Thomas! You totally downplayed our fear of the metal hummingbird, it was totally homemade with zero security implemented! Haha. What a journey! I’ll get my video out in a week or two! See you on the next adventure!
Haha. The flying death trap!
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto ohhh yes the final scene was indeed a flying death trap... what an adventure Ecuador must be!
It's great watching Indiana Heaton on his adventures 😄 Love it!
Hahah. My new name!
Thanks for taking me along. I find rain forests one of the most enchanting places to visit. Not sure if I could live there. But I hope we can find a way to preserve this environment for my grandchildren.
Thomas doing wildlife photography is everything I've ever dreamed about! Love every time you do!!
Hummingbirds are amazing things to see in flight, loved that capture. The waterfall was excellent and love it. Tough gig this! More please 👍👏
3:27 stunning pose and colours, 7:34 spectacular sharp focus, 13:45 beautiful depth and colour, love the flying fox at the end
Thank you very much, but I don't think it was a fox 😂 scary has hell though.

Welcome back, and thanks for your kind words. I hope you can get back into photography at some point. 👍
I love the variety you have added to your videos! The hummingbird shot was perfect! Thanks for taking me along!
I had a daft grin on my face because of the daft grin on yours. Magic!
Beautiful bird images and yeah, what a way to end the day. How cool!!
So glad you discovered bird photography it a different challenge & will take you to many beautiful rainforests & mountain terrain.
Loved the video, I can tell how much excitement and appreciation this day brought to you Tom. That fear in your face realizing you have to take the hummingbird to get back is priceless.
That cable car! Your reaction! Priceless!😂😂😂😂
Very happy that you are in my country! Enjoy it since it have many places that are very good for photography! Greetings from Toronto!

That hummingbird at the end was awesome, quite a clever method of transportation.
Jonas is one of the best instructors on TH-cam . Wishing him much success .
Great video Tom. Like a non stop eveent. Great images,super you are definitely having a good tiime. Thanks for taking us along.
The Ecuadorian Cloud forest is a very special place. It definitely needs protecting...
oh wow, what an epic adventure. Thank you for taking you along.
Tom have you been home more than 5 mins in the past month? Blink twice if you’ve been kidnapped lol
I was just wondering that
pbbb rubbish... if you know how to travel in Ecuador is super safe. Shit comment

Wauv, just wauv. What an adventure. It shows that a locked door often can lead to other unexpected adventures. Just keep exploring
Amazing video, Thomas. The waterfall photo is so good.

What a hummingbird ride!
Quite an adventure! Watching hummingbirds at the feeders on my porch is a way I often spend time.
Fantastic video, and loved seeing your excitement for something so new a different. You were all smiles. Fun to watch. Watch a great trip!
Another accomplishment achieved! Thank you Thomas.
Hello Thomas, quite surprising adventures, very well told with your small film camera. I like the photo's. Bert.
As a hybrid photographer myself (landscape/wildlife) it is great to see you getting into wildlife!
Good for you Thomas, glad you went out of your comfort zone... enjoy and be safe...
What an amazing place and as always - great video! Thanks Thomas.
Great video, brought back memories. It is a wonderful part of the world.
Your enthusiasm for anything and everything is perfect.
Super video! A trip I'd never do! Enjoy watching! Primo! All the best! E Q U A D OR !
Just brilliant, Thomas. Almost, but not quite, makes me want to go birding ;-)
Cool adventure Thomas, loved the waterfall photo
Looks like you had a great time, great pics
Spectacular video my friend,nice work
I feel like I'm on holiday, thank you. Inspired me to pop outside and do some photography after work.
Perfect, that's all I want to hear. Hope you got/get some shots 👍
The humming bird at 7:25 is out of this world
Thanks a lot. It took me about 100 shots to get that.
7:37 Stunning Thomas!!!!!
Amazing video, lot of fun and awesome photos 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Thomas, one of your best.
Looking like you have been converted Thomas.
Must have been from the time spent with Simon.
Fantastic location, thanks for sharing.

Has to be the most enjoyable video I’ve seen of yours. Really, really good fantastic photographs of those birds too.
Nice picture
Unbelievable! You aced this one. Birds, waterfalls tropical forests, and bizarre hummingbird ride. Your amazing…
Wow, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Something a little different from me.
Great humming bird photos.
That humming bird photo is incredible
Such a fun video to watch. Your accommodations - amazing! What a view to wake up to. Loved the hummingbird images. That was quite a way to end your day - on a hummingbird ride.
Wow!
Liking the rain forest series. You should do more jungle photography.
Fantastic video and shots
Wow - some very unique experiences there.
Muy bien Thomas!! I always love your videos! This was so much fun! I love seeing you in such a different environment! I would love to see you head to Central America (Panama, Costa Rica or Belize) where some of my family lives next!!
Great story telling and great photography ! I love your adventures.
11:38 Jonas taking out that cairn with vengeance 👍
Had to go back and rewatch. Hilarious! 😂😂
Wait a minute, I have seen this. 😂 I do also have a dislike of cairns (not proper ones).
Brill video. The mix of site seeing and photography is just right.
Wow wow wow.....
“I'm so happy” You did not look very happy looking at that gondola :)
Fantastic presentation, thx
Wow! Great Video! 👍🏻what a place to stay and fantastic images of the birds and the waterfall and as you said an awsome end to the video with great drone footage. Looking forward to the next one as always.
That was a fun way to end the video Thomas and lovely captures of the toucan and the humming bird too.

Fun trip! I think I would like to visit there.
That was very cool! Great scenery. And not many people can say they rode a giant hummingbird in the rainforest of Ecuador.
I kept hopng the cable car's "wings" would flap!! What a wonderful adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Oh, and your accommodation is like something out of Lord of the Rings! Gorgeous.
What a local and what a surprise for an ending. Loved this
Great shots!
The adventure continues at the equator.
That gondola ride at the end was cool!

And there was me thinking it was going to be another Z6iii vid.... What a relief!
Haha. Not unless I buy one, which I don't have a need for yet.
