Day 2 of my landscape photography trip, day 1 on the beautiful Isle of Harris. It was a rough day, I was tired and feeling unwell, but for now the weather held. I exposed 2 images on this day, the first of which I am more happy with than the second. Enjoy.

Inspiration. That could be said about anything.
Great video! Does anyone know what the song used at the start is?
Nothing chaotic about dunes at all. They are actually standing still and sweep beautifully and calm across the shoreline. It was your emotions that was in a chaos, and that's it. The good thing about photography is that if you actually follow through, no matter how bad a day you're having – You can ALWAYS find the good AFTERWORDS, because you actually took that photo. Two of my personal best photos was taken on a day I felt like shit, and all I really could think of was my pillow back home. So my advice is simply to follow through no matter how bad you are feeling, because if you do, that can contribute to heal whatever you are struggling with.
Your final images was very good to be honest, and you did right by turning them into B&W. You're a strong photographer AND individual, because you did deliver and you did follow through.
Great, great video. I so need to visit the Outer Hebrides. What was the music you used right at the beginning?
*leaves house. "Oh crap, did i leave the heaton?"
Good luck for everything!
but!!!
I had a simple but profound revelation watching this video. It has been in my subconscious watching all your previous videos, but for some reason it became clear watching this one: a stunning, sublime view/environment does not automatically mean there is a stunning, sublime image to be had. good to know.
go visit cape verde one day 😉
Great video, could anyone tell me which song is played at around 2:45? Shazam seems to fuck up every time…I appreciate your kind help. (doesn´t match with the published description by Thomas) Many thanks to all of you!
Sorry this was boring
Hi, I'm a 71-year-old newby who has started taking landscape photos recently as a way of making me get out and walk. I've recently discovered your feed which is both entertaining and informative, even if some of the technical stuff sends me scampering back to digital photography for dummies. Most of it is local to where I live – we are fortunate to have a river, canal, woodland and moorland. (But some way from the sea)
I wondered if you had made a video about people in landscape. I've recently been photographing a stile and by chance on one visit captured two walkers in the mid distance walking up the hill towards it and it gave it much more context. Looking through the hundreds of pictures I've taken – quantity rather than quality I'm afraid so far – I notice that there are few people in them and wondered if you had any thoughts on the pros and cons..
I completely disagree that skill isn't that important. Skill is everything. Forget astrophotography, time lapse photography, etc., etc., etc. if you just put your camera on auto. That's a bizarre thing to say.
The natural skill for the photographer is knowing what and how to get composition…. If you have the eye that's half the battle, but skill is essential.
Camranger ftw @Thomas Heaton
that flag ass 5:12
What song @02:47, anyone know what that song name ?
Inspirational 🙂
i really liked the video the editing the feel everything
Having watched several of your videos.. I must say you have THE EYE of a good landscape photographer. Enjoyed… from Belgium, also with such a hard to speak name…. 🙂
Loved the vids man, but make sure your panning shots are done in 24fps – 30fps and converting just makes it jagged and jumpy. (not that I know what im doing at all, but noticed it in your vid!)
Grt positive thoughts ..
Alternatively, be careful where you walk before you find and capture your own photo, then walk where you want. Photography is about finding the shot and there will almost always be problems, man made or otherwise, you need to work around to get what you want. So there's absolutely zero point worrying about what another photographer with a different idea of what works is going to be affected by.
That said, if someone has set up… don't go and set up your own kit 15 meters directly in front of their camera. That's just rude!
like your still !!! I wish I was there
I love your videos, it essentially captures the reason I went into photography as a hobby. travel, see the beauty of nature and capture beautiful sceneries. I don't care to make money out of it, nor do I plan to but your videos capture the other side of 9 to 5. job. just ordered a tripod, and Lee filter system for tamron 15-30mm.
its so much more inspiring to see how you get to the picture instead of seeing tons of great photographs.
Wow, wonderful! Absolutely stunning!
which part of isle of Harris was this video filmed? looks like paradise
Close the door behind you.
is that an Åland Islands flag for a patch?
Just this last Saturday we are filming and mid shot a guy walks right in front of the camera and starts talking to us. Some people are just unaware of their surroundings.
I like your channel a lot ,because its making me really happy when I watch your videos, thank you so much for making this channel
What kind of shutter speed did you use in the final image? I noticed a lot of wind in your video. And light isn't that strong when you're nearing sunset. I'm always fighting blurred trees and grass in those situations.
Hi Tom – can I ask you what tripod head you're using please.
Great video. I also like the music you use. Could it also be mentioned in the credits?
Did anyone ever tells you that u look like Bear Grylls
Could those who click a thumb down own up to it and explain why ?…
A thoroughly enjoyable video to watch and great photos too.
Fab video of somewhere I plan to take my landscape photography.
Just subscribed recently. I've been enjoying your videos. You remind me of "Survivorman" Les Stroud who goes out into the wilderness alone with a few cameras and sets up all his segue shots. How do you record your voice? I am assuming you have a lavalier mic hidden in your jacket and that's connected remotely to your video camera or in your jacket and you mix the voice an video together later.
good
Love your enthusiasm, and the tidbits of photography philosophy! Keep them coming!
That Ass-Patch made me laugh. what a place for a flag 😀
excuse me. where are you? Where is theese place? thanks
Stunning as usual,in every part of the world you go,love your sensational mood to teach your passion!Thank you for your channel all the best from Italy!
No photography channel even comes close to Thomas Heaton, and that is the GD truth.
I loved this! I kept thinking I was listening to Bear Grylls! You sound just like him! Anyway, great video and I adore the music you chose for it!
Awesome video and compositions! really like how you show the whole experience!
Great video.
After one of those weeks at work, a 14 min video like this is perfect chillout material. I honestly think if you had a tv series with this sort of content it would be hugely popular.
Omg another self proclaimed photography genius telling everyone what they should or shouldn't do. It's an art form people. Leave it alone.
