It is indeed a great read. I've been a loyal subscriber since the beginning. They have a nice community on facebook worth to join and share images with.
I was literally sitting at home looking out the window at the rain when I sat down to watch this. Halfway through I stopped and grabbed the camera and had a fun time shooting while only getting a little wet. Fun times, thanks for the nudge!
Shot in the rain this past weekend. Rain sometimes brings the best conditions and atmosphere but a lot of people avoid it. I rigged an umbrella to clip into my camera bag strap and it kept me dry, my gear safe, and allowed me to use both of my hands freely. A little improvisation and an open mind led to a whole day of foggy moody woodland photography!
I've got my camera a sort of rain jacket, providing a whole coverage, view in the viewfinder + screen, and inputs for the hands. It works ok. I didn't think of rigging an umbrella on the camera bag or tripod, I will try this one 😉
On rainy days a shower cap or two (disposable or otherwise) is a great accessory to carry around in your pocket, especially if you've got your camera on a tripod and it starts chucking down - just whip out the shower cap and quickly cover the camera. 🙂
I am not a fan of photographing in wet weather. I just hate feeling wet and grey does nothing for my psychology. However it is still an opportunity to capture unique images of the world in which we live. Videos like this remind me of that.
Great pictures. Some heavy rain hacks fro a sports photographer (scotland approved) >Use the lens hood to shed of some of the rain >Use a trash bag to wrap the camera in if you don't have proper rain covers >carry a small roll of electrical tape to hold the cover in place
As I read a few lines below, I'm sure the umbrella comments go on and on! An umbrella is just one more thing to add to the backpack and if used, is cumbersome. Add some wind and they are impossible/dangerous to use. You seemed to be successful here wiping the lens with a cloth, based on the image you captured! I have had more luck keeping a handfull of disposable rain ponchos. They are very cheap and transparent. With the poncho over the camera and tripod, I can, frame a shot, wait for a cloud to move, then pushing the lens through a sleeve or a hole in the poncho, focus and shoot. I've even used a plastic sandwich bag just to keep the water off the lens glass. How many dry cloths can you carry! The pep talk is apprecidated, but rain + wind can still stop me! "...the wind IS difficult to embrace.."
I like to go out everyday and take pictures of the sunrise. They are always different but weather can be my problem too especially lately since we moved. It has been overcast most mornings. There is usually some color everyday which I do take images of what I can get. I only follow people that talk the art of photography and not gear. Gear it gear and it's what you do with what you have that counts and I've been doing that for 51 years. Really like you video. Photography is art with the eye not the brush.
Actually I like those kind of videos. I tell myself often: there is always a photo. And most of us viewers probably don't go out in perfect weather conditions to beautiful landscapes but have to take, what we can get in our free time. So do us a favor and do more videos in boring landscape with bad weather conditions and - if I am not asking too much: midday.
Definitely a nasty day with the rain. You captured some nice image's in the rain and my favourite one was the three trees with the rain coming down. Absolutely great image of the Lighthouse. Hope you enjoyed your curry. Nothing better than a Madras of Vindaloo.
On a rainy day, there’s a special sort of light I notice. The green in the grass almost shines as the UV light still catches it and waterfalls look different.
Good example there Thomas is there’s no such thing as bad weather, just a bad attitude when it comes to getting out. As you demonstrated with a positive attitude there was still the potential to capture some great images like the first 2 you shared. Lovely image at the end with Pladda Lighthouse and Ailsa Craig in the background which used to where the granite for curling stones was quarried.
Great Video Thomas, shame about the weather, 5:56 stunning, the weather has created a vignette around the tree, 6:59 the rain has created an interesting effect against the trees, Beautiful light, this is easily the best image of the video, thanks for sharing
one more vote for "Elements", a superb magazine for landscape shooters ... if you are a Medium Format shooter, the sister magazin "MediumFormat" is a good read too ... (not related to those magazines in any way, but a enthusiast reader) ... thanks for the video, I travel in a "small" camper, a Winebago MiniWinnie ...
Yes embrace lovely auk weather. PS thats a fraudulent slip I am from Uk living in Australia AUK LOL. Love the channel. Human and shows what most of us men go through at times. In a somber thought 75% of suicides are Men. We need better support and empathy as we carry so Much responsibility.
Great Video. I shoot a lot in the Costa Rica rainforests. Several years ago I got tip from my guide. Buy disposable shower caps. Pop them on the front of your lens. They cost about .06 cents each. Love your chanel!
Today was the first of a multi-day visit to the Oregon Coast with rain, wind and fog promising to prevail throughout. Between video and comments, a few practical tips offered, but the main lesson is quit holding back, fretting and making excuses, just dive in. The test will come tomorrow morning.
This morning I headed for the beach during a lull that was promptly followed by the sucker punch, returning gale force wind driving horizontal rain in sheets. I took shelter in the lee of a towering rock pinnacle. I then worked my way downwind from sheltering rock to sheltering rock, failing to find a composition to motivate opening the pack. By the time I beat my way windward, back to the beach access stairway, I was soaked despite head to toe Gortex, and ready to admit defeat. “…just dive in.”
A perfect day for a hot, black, dark roast coffee and a roast beef sandwich with a few beans. You nailed that first tree shot, Thomas. Cleaning out the van when you get home and getting everything dry is going to be a job. Been on a bunch of trips like that and I have to say that a rainy day like that is better than slushy snow falling on the equipment and contributing nothing to the composition,
I think your channel is like a ministry. In a world of such craziness and evil, it is literally therapeutic to watch a wholesome episode of Tomas Heaton with awesome nature images. Thanks!
Perfectly timed considering the storm. Up here in the Lakes this mornings low cloud after the rain was spectacular… walking the dog, forgot my camera… doh! Loved the first shot of the lone tree
Howdy Thomas from Dallas, Texas!!! Your a must watch!!! I remember when I drove around the McDonald’s until no one is inside and I could buy my 3 cheese burgers and run out because I didn’t want to be around people!!! It reminds me of how much you enjoy taking images when no one’s around!!! I understand the need to be alone as we practice our art. I’m afraid of the person looking over my shoulder and saying that it would be better if I used this lens, or maybe I would be more professional if I used manual. Maybe shoot here or with this aperture!!!! I find that most of those pundits are not in the trenches!!! Oh by the way, I don’t eat at McDonalds anymore!!
Great footage..a quick tip, when I'm out and about in bad whether I completely line the floor of my van with old news papers that I get free from coffee shops etc end of the day put in the bag and toss.
Great video. I was recently on Harris when Storm Babet was hitting the east coast, Rain I can deal with but I really, really struggle when its blowing a hoolie.
The QR code is a really cool & unique marketing feature of your calendar Thomas. The rain sure was coming down on you, I trust your camera gear was all okay. Great atmospheric images you captured in those conditions. Enjoyed watching this video. Thank you.
It was definitely worth getting soaked as the first two images are excellent, I especially like the one with the lone tree....and of course the view looking down on the light house with the Ailsa Craig sitting mystical in the background...many thanks
Amazing images. The second one resembled an impressionist painting. The lighthouse at the end was a great bonus. I'm a real sucker for lighthouses, waterfalls, and snow capped mountains, though I can withstand a beach sunset image.
My gear is Sony and weather sealed as well but man I would never have the guts to take it out in rain like that. My hat is off to you for those great images. Great video as always.
I'm not really know what's worse. Exposing the camera gear for that heavy rain, or coming in to that small space totally wet! :D Love the massive drops in the trio tree-photo!
In the fall of 2017 my wife and I travelled to Iceland, we had 14 days of rainy, windy, foggy weather out of 17 that we spent there. Sometimes you just have to play the hand you are dealt and be happy with it.
Enjoying your videos as always! If others have not mentioned, here is a good remedy against strong wind - splay your tropod legs to the next angle - it absolutely solves the wind related stability issue, certainly if you have your tripod with you.

The code also seems to work for the quarterly subscription as I’ve just used it!😮
Reminds me of the saying - "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices."
Totally agree. I've my waterproofs dialled in, just not for the cameras.
Nah there's definitely such thing as bad weather. Just got back from Tenerife and fully intend to hibernate this entire winter away indoors 😂
Lmao that sounds very british
This is a very german saying 😂
It's a saying? I always imagine it as a Jack Wolfskin ad
Fantastic photos in this one, Tom!! Loved the island, but the lone tree in the beginning just topped it for me ;)
The three trees image is excellent, great capture of the rain, very painterly. Just goes to show, there’s no bad time for photography.

that shot with the 3 trees , wow, the light catching the rain drops and highlighting the tree trunks , thats magic
Great photo of the lighthouse with paddy's milestone in the back 😊
LOVE the first lone tree image. So good.
Tbh, I love rainy landscape photography. I dunno, the depth from the rain and the low clouds, the atmosphere, I love it!
Great pictures.

Holy shit that lighthouse image is 10/10! It’s just amazing, I can’t describe how it makes me feel but it’s glorious!

Oh boy, that final image of the two islands is surreal! In the best possible way, that is. Wow!
That image @ 5.50mins. Wow!
5:55 👌👌👌 probably the best photo you've ever taken!

Sorry I rambled on about the Nikon D850 before and forgot to say the image with the 3 trees was fantastic. Thanks again Tom.
I love the shot @7:00. Thee rain makes the shot of those 3 trees!
Great Video Thomas, shame about the weather, 5:56 stunning, the weather has created a vignette around the tree, 6:59 the rain has created an interesting effect against the trees, Beautiful light, this is easily the best image of the video, thanks for sharing
You’ve inspired me to get out and start photography again
Great stuff as always. The island in the bg is Ailsa Craig that's where the curling stones come from.
That last image is stunning. You “need” to offer that on your website. I need that on my house!
All great images but that last one is perfection. I've added Arran to my list of places to shoot!
I love the rain pelting down in front of the three trees. I can feel the weather when I see that image. The others are good too :)
RUclips says I only can watch three more videos before the player turns off. Your video - totally worth it :)
I love the mood inclement weather brings.

18:49 , the island look like floating in the air. very nice shot !
The two images you took in the rain are incredible, so atmospheric - Thank you for another great video.
The rain in the three trees photo looks great
Puppy pads for the dripping....😊

Loved the image of the lighthouse and am pretty sure will be featured in 2025 calendar.
That final image - “it doesn’t look real.” Wow!! Absolutely stunning photograph. 👏🤩
Love the sound of rain pelting down on your van!
Great Video. I shoot a lot in the Costa Rica rainforests. Several years ago I got tip from my guide. Buy disposable shower caps. Pop them on the front of your lens. They cost about .06 cents each. Love your chanel!
Enjoyable. The chat the cameras the drive the food. Pure entertainment.
5:55 Absolutely Stunning Tom
Can't fault your enthusasim. ❤
Excellent video Thomas and beautiful images too.
From a Bristolian living down-under. 👍

Press pause at 0:46 for a truly sensational Kenneth Williams impersonation. I salute you, Mr Heaton!

The first tree shot was a throwaway not worth printing, composition way too loose.

Speechless at the last image
The first picture must be one of my all-time favorits- absolutely stunning!
Magnifique photo de l'ile avec le phare ! Bravo👋👋👋
Love the lighthouse image, bang on.
Hi Thomas, the first image ist absolutely fantastic 😮
YEP! bad weather can make you be more creative or NOT! LOL! Love the last image TH. see you next week :)
Invest in a super large golf/fishing umbrella. It shields you from the wind and rain.

I have to say Thomas, your photos from this trip are my favorite that I've seen in some time. Good work, it seems like you've hit a new stride.
Great footage..a quick tip, when I'm out and about in bad whether I completely line the floor of my van with old news papers that I get free from coffee shops etc end of the day put in the bag and toss.
That shot of the trees on the hill in the rain is amazing!
Great video. I was recently on Harris when Storm Babet was hitting the east coast, Rain I can deal with but I really, really struggle when its blowing a hoolie.
Beautiful picture thank you for your hard work .I love the rain sometimes
5:56 Wauw!
Your dedication in such horrible weather, is why you end up with absolutely stunning images.
The QR code is a really cool & unique marketing feature of your calendar Thomas. The rain sure was coming down on you, I trust your camera gear was all okay. Great atmospheric images you captured in those conditions. Enjoyed watching this video. Thank you.
Conditions like these are great as an adventure and also a great way to improve your compositions with the crutch of great light
Wonderful Lighthouse Shot!
Loved it bud! That island shot was stunning! Great find
I'll buy that lighthouse photo. That photo got me on my migrant hart because it shape its exactly like my home country.
It was definitely worth getting soaked as the first two images are excellent, I especially like the one with the lone tree....and of course the view looking down on the light house with the Ailsa Craig sitting mystical in the background...many thanks
Love the final image Thomas 👍
Superb images, too hard to chose which is my favorite.
wow.. the best images I've seen lately on this channel.. My style of landscape photography. Good job :)
Love the lighthouse image the central composition and use of negative space makes me think of Wes Anderson films 😃
You mentioned printing. Keith Cooper has a photography channel with a large number of videos on the subject of making fine prints.
The best photography in years. Love the subject and mood.
one of your best video in long time...beautiful photos
The lighthouse image is incredible 👌
I love that final lighthouse image, Tom! Cheers!
Lens hood keeps the water out of the lens pretty well. I’ve never protected my Nikon bodies from rain or snow and never had any issues
Amazing images. The second one resembled an impressionist painting. The lighthouse at the end was a great bonus. I'm a real sucker for lighthouses, waterfalls, and snow capped mountains, though I can withstand a beach sunset image.

I really love your photograph of the three trees in the rain. Wonderful!
Ever heard of an umbrella - a remarkable product made especially for keeping rain away from the camera :)
Stunning image of the island, beautiful capture..
Glad to end work and come home to a new video
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm not really know what's worse. Exposing the camera gear for that heavy rain, or coming in to that small space totally wet! :D
Love the massive drops in the trio tree-photo!
Watching your videos always makes me miss home! Great video Thomas
Love that last image!
You seem to be more energized and/or passionate in this video than you have in past weeks..good video!!
