Why Did I Photograph in Such Ferocious Wind

- In this video I take my Nikon Z7 II with an f4 24-70 lens out on a landscape photography shoot. My wife had kicked me out of the house, so I had no plans of where to go or what to shoot. Unfortunately, the weather was not on my side with heavy rain and ferocious wind.

Hats off to you for shooting all that B-roll in those conditions.
This “in situ” photography is great - thanks for the highly motivating and entertaining video 🙏
The "zig zag" turned out beautifully. Like a fine, classic painting. Seemed like you had a ton of fun shooting it :)
I really like the stormy photos, it's so different from the every day weather that it looks surreal and untouchable.
Respect for pulling off such a great video in those conditions!
JMO, but I consider this to be one of your most successful photography adventures in some time. You need to thank your wife for "kicking you out". I was surprised at the quality you were able to capture in the conditions you were in. Congratulations, Thomas. Well done.
Thanks, Clifton. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this one and I'll pass your compliments to my wife 🙂
Mr. Heaton just never disappoints!
At some point I thought you would just fly away - never to be seen again.
As the great @Simon Booth quoted in his recent video on the Orkneys: "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance with the rain. " So keep on dancing, Thomas!
Fantastic!
I love getting out there in wild weather for landscape and wildlife.
Sooo much fun.
Things you do for love eh! I know the feeling when my wife tells me she is having girlfriends over and I need to make myself scarce. Wonderful images under very difficult conditions Thomas, you inspire me to try harder.
Thanks. Life is an adventure. Photography is a bonus.
Next time your wife decides to kick you out of the house for the night, maybe ask her to check the weather forecast first ;-), but I do love the images especially the ones with the long lens shot in the end. The small patches of sunlight put emphasis on the drama of the conditions! I guess we will have to wait for a calmer video to get your thoughts on the f4 lens 🙂
Well magnificent shots
I think it was worth it shooting in this kind of wild weather
Please do more videos like this
Just go out even if there is a storm and show us the beauty of Mother Nature when it’s wild like this
And I have to say that Nikon is such a beautiful brand
You inspired me to go out
And shoot even though I do have a none weather sealed Nikon
The D70S with old 70-300 mm
Give it a try these old Nikon cameras are wonderful
The CCD sensor has its own magical vibe …
Holy dooley that wind!! That was nuts. The images though . . . . crikey. You really can get some stunners even with shocking weather.
Oh Thomas, your videos are addictive.
Second image was spectacular.
Please make a video with your best camping cooking tipps and recipes :) It always looks delicious!
Love the last one Thomas, little tree on the mountain! Crazy day for sure!
I was blown away by your images Tom……………just like you nearly were 🌬
Weather You took My suggestion or why ever THE GREY BACKGROUND BEHIND YOUR PHOTOS IS GREAT and make Your photos even more of a stand out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Winter summer spring and fall -your out their entertaining for all of us ,lone tree one at the end was the best , hope the wife had some sympathy after watching that
I love your enthusiasm for photography, especially as the weather gets really crazy like that.
The video itself is already a form of art
Enough to inspire anyone to get out there.
Great images but I got to say I love taking pictures but I don’t think I would have gone out with my camera keep making your videos 👍🏻
Tom, your tenacity is admirable though some might question your sanity.
Beautiful images, I too like the shot of the lone tree, but all of them give me new ideas.
Good times in bad weather! Some of my favorite days out have been in conditions like this so I'm happy to see you out there enjoying it. That image with the green hillsides illuminated by the rays of sun is my favorite from the shoot, I love it!
Flipping heck is my new favorite expression hahaha, yet again amazing photos, I am glad your wife kicked you out for the day :0)
The editing of this one is cracking me up! 😆
The Grass shot at 14:46 looks like a painting. beautiful images.
Thanks for your video. Yes my lifestyle dictates when I can photograph. These are great shots you got in those difficult conditions.
Thanks for sharing your ordeals, so we can live vicariously through you!😆
A fantastic video content as always, Thomas. Thanks a lot for sharing it. Cheers!
Tom, great images for such a wild time. Bravo! She should kick you out more often! ; )
The 2nd shot with the 2 trees and the waterfall in the background was the best for me. I can see a better difference between your digital work and film photography, digital is far more pleasing to view. You're more creative with digital. Bet it was nice having a hot coffee after that windy walking?
Fantastic. All the best. 👍📷😎
Yes, please, I'd like a glass of that lemonade you've just made! Cliched pun aside, your preparedness, experience, and attitude are major factors in your favor, and these are some very successful images. Congratulations, and as usual, thanks!
Great video Thomas. Perhaps could be called… “When life gives you lemons…” . Thanks!
That's commitment! Congrats Tom for enduring in such hard conditions! And thank your wife :)
You are the greatest landscape photographer I have I recommend your videos to the biginners to learn composition.its amazing ❤️🔥
Bloody awesome. Love those kinds of lighting conditions!
Exciting video. Beautiful images. Very cool.
Given the conditions you looked like you were having so much fun..........Thanks for an enjoyable video👌
Really enjoyable, thank you Ms. Heaton! I kept thinking you needed Gavin as a wind break, but that would be rude. The last image of the single tree is terrific. More please.
A hilarious adventure, and bravo for getting anything out of it!
GOODSTUFF Tom, You are a REAL Trooper!!
Great Job! Inspires me that the next hurricane, I should see if I can (safely) go out and see what I can capture LOL
Tom, kudos to you for always making the best of challenging weather conditions. Your images offer enough inspiration for anyone to get out and enjoy landscape photography. Love your videos!
Let there be light! Yes, the last image is very nice given the conditions you endured.
that first tree shot alone made the whole exercise worthwhile i reckon. And the final few at the end were superb, minis the close up of the grass and water.
What a wild day! I particularly liked the "intentional subject movement " of the bare tree and the last image of the lone tree on the ridge.
You are so dedicated and inspiring.
Well that was fun. Maybe not for you, but fun for the viewer. Really nice shots as well.
I am impressed by the microphone 😂being able to understand what you say with the howling wind.
Hilarious begining followed by fantastic and beautiful photography. Awesome❤️
What a hoot! Loved it
Your adventure is always inspiring for most of us!!
These would be great images in the best of conditions. Considering how challenging it was makes them better than great...greatamundous!!!
Beautiful images Thomas, enjoyed this one
Bloody hell that looked mental! Lol nice blog buddy! Definitely liked the shot of the tree in the distance
Tell the truth her indoors saw the unedited video of last week !!!! Heaton at his best when the weather is at its worst !! pulled it out of the bag yet again ! some great images in not so great conditions !!
Lol, that was fun, really liked the part were you showed what you were about to experience with the wind.
I agree, that one with the little tree on the edge and the light in the valley behind is fantastic! Well done for really braving the elements in this one and doing so without incident. Driving the van in those conditions can’t be easy, apart from anything else.
I like it. Glad you were able to get some shots. I really enjoy that reel at the end with the little spots of light.
Awesome video. Weather sucked, but you went out anyway and kicked ass. Loved it.
those are some gnarly conditions! beautiful
Beautiful images, entertaining as always😃🇳🇿
Well done Thomas. Thanks for showing so well the use of 100-400 off tripod. Really exciting, challenging and ultimately satisfying photography.
Hi Thomas, you put a lot of honest and cool outdoor photography videos out. Keep on shooting this footage. I always like to watch them. Real recreation for me even when commuting ;-).
Beautiful images. Inspiring dedication to the craft.
I love the first photo and that style of photography. Well executed.
I’m noticing that I’ve been watching your videos long enough to remember you saying the same thing about the 24-70mm 2.8 vs. 4.0 on your Canon 5DmkIII
Got your signed calendar and the photo. Just need to mount it! Super excited!
Great video images look brilliant to Thomas
Great choice of music at the end.
Bravo for persevering for your art 🍻 I have a shot similar to your ridgeline tree, but mine was in calm weather on a Welsh mountain while waiting for jets to appear. Jets make a landscape photo 1000x better 😁
The lesson from this video really hits home for me. So often, I find myself hardly ever getting to choose when I can go out for a shoot. There are so many days with perfect conditions, but I'm busy at work. And when I CAN shoot, the conditions are terrible. So I guess what I'm taking away from this video is that a shoot is meant to convey the feeling of being at the location, including whatever conditions might be present. There should always be a way to use the current conditions to your advantage. Strong winds and dark, stormy conditions can make quite powerful images, as you've demonstrated. By the way, the image with the grass next to the water was absolutely genius! The shape of the grass and the ripples on the water make it very obvious that it was windy.
Remarkable images given the conditions. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Excellent images and story, loved the wind
good job, its easy to make good images when everything cooperates, it takes a skilled photographer with a good eye to make good images when everything is against them
That was a fun video to watch! I love the first hand-held image with the tree and waterfall in the background. Thanks!
I love photographing in impossible conditions. It's the challenge that pays off with the unexpected. Love your photos.
Some nice photos in the video. Watching other photographers like you gets me thinking about how to do my own photography.
Very well done Thomas 👍
Right from the first shot, I knew this was going to be "classic Heaton", and I was not disappointed! I do love your sense of humour, and you made a great success of the trip despite the conditions. I loved the early shot of the waterfall behind the lone tree - it's amazing how well you managed in the wind.
Thomas how your image stabilisation actually done anything in those condition bet me , but you got thous lovely shots .Big well done chap
A great set of images, especially the lone tree on the hillside. I am constantly impressed by your ability to produce such high quality photographs in the most unpromising and arduous conditions. It is an inspiration to get out and shoot when conditions are less than "perfect", no excuses.
I agree about the 'no excuses', because more often than not, there's at least something to shoot or at least experiment with.
That. Was awesome Tom, a few really nice shots, love the one with the lone tree and the hills lit behind, Merry Christmas.
As usual you did an outstanding job with epic scenery in epic weather. My only suggestion would be the usual one for me, look at your B-roll. there were really wild things going on with the tufts of grass. It would mean that you would have to get down on the ground, but you did that anyway. A 24-70mm lens would be ideal for shots of wind gusts hitting the grasses at low level. Nice, nice pictures of patches of light on the highlands!
I thought i'd hate that first image but in fact it's pretty awesome, if you compared that to a real macro shot of a major blood vessel it's almost identical.
Enjoyed this Thomas. I was on Harris a couple of weeks ago with 60mph plus winds. Scary when you have to remember which way round to park the van so as not to lose a door… which someone did the year before at Talla na Mara.
Some fantastic imagery there Thomas. The weather looked intense so fair play for keeping the video camera upright :D
This is one of those times when I like more the composition in the video clips than the still images itself
There absolutely stunning honestly I wish I had an eye for it one day maybe but honestly keep up the good work 😊
Wonderful work as always. The image at 14:47, of the windswept grass against the water, is *striking*. It feels almost... 'painterly' is the obvious word, but it more reminds me of the *pictorialists*, of hand-brushing emulsion onto a canvas with fat, ragged brushstrokes. A bit abstracted, a bit separated from the world, yet undeniably *real*. It might not be the traditional one to gravitate towards, but something about it just grabbed me.
You did a great job with the audio in all that wind 👍
Hard core, well done fella
I love the added element of the wild wind! That valley looked beautiful.
Excellent effort! Your final images were amazing! What an adventure!
