- Lanscape photography can be full of ups and downs. This video is a perfect example of things going from bad to good to bad and back to good again. Sometimes you have to know when to call it a day.

Stunning images as usual.
The last image is awesome Tom love the location
Oh wow... That last image... Something very special about it... 11/10 Thomas!
Hi Thomas.
I downloaded the Clear Outside App. to have a look. It certainly needs updating, the UI is appalling! But you can’t beat free! Will be interesting to see how accurate it is.
Consider Dark Sky App. IMO by far the most accurate weather App. available. It’s Rain forecasting is incredibly accurate! As a English Lake District native I can attest to that! It is a paid App. but to have access to the best forecasting data does cost money!
Another good weather App. is Windy. Free in basic version but to upgrade to Pro version is quite expensive. However it appears to be very accurate.
A small point, nevertheless important if you value accuracy😁. Rydal Water is just that, a WATER not a lake. Grassmere is a MERE. There is only one lake in The Lake District & that is Bassenthwaite Lake. All of the others are Tarns, Waters & Lakes.
Yes I know, slightly irritating, but accurate.😊.
All the best. Have a good workshop when you return.
The joy of Thomas uploading on a Sunday evening !
Don't get me wrong, but it's so nice to see that you guys also have days when the photography is going downhill. I know all photographers have days when they run out of ideas and don't get the best images, but it's really nice that you don't hide those days for the viewers by not making a video about it. And you still ended up with 3 really nice images, but that last one is really lovely. Just perfect autumn colors and calm morning mood!
The quality of your videos has changed . It's just awesome .very crispy and sharp. Well done tom. ...
Third one is definitely my favorite. You keep talking about colors but you turn most of them to B&W. Third one really shows what autumn is about: those wonderful colors! :)
This was a very relaxing video, especially when you were sitting down by the lakeside... Did you forget the square space bit? 😀
Great episode Tom, I loved the mood and atmosphere of both of those images!
Oh i need to ask, what weather app is Simon using please?
Alexandra Starr Photography I was wondering the same thing!
Found it! Its called Clear Outside. Available for FREE on iOS and Android :-) . Website is clearoutside dot com
Now we know =)
Thank you, its on the Play store so thats ace, its now on my phone =D
Got it too - thanks!!!
You spoke so much about the wonderful, rich autumn colours and then went for black and white. How come?
What happened to the broken camera? Did you use a backup? Or did you get it fixed in one day?
Unknown Person it's not his main camera, just the vlog camera lens isn't open properly.
So with you, Tom, and Sean Tucker both collabing with Simon... any chance of a Thomas Heaton x Sean Tucker collaboration? Maybe even Heaton-Tucker-Baxter? 🤔
Don't forget Brendan Van Son
Freddy Nevison-Andrews who cares ? they are all able to produce good content and a colaboration would not make it any better. quite the opposite is assume.
Elderin Moi you'd rather *not* see a group of inspiring creatives bouncing ideas off eachother? Lmao okay
very moody video, very honest. =)
Love all the photos in it, but the third the most =)
4:36 what was up with all that chat about colour, then a black and white image!! ...still looks great obviously
That last image showed autumn at its best. Wonderful :)
Hey Thomas, what is the name of that weather app on Simon's mobile? Great video btw.
Clear Outside
Loved the message you portray in the second half of the video. The scene of you just sitting there enjoying the view in front of you and listening to the geese, reminds me why I started landscape photography in the first place! Thanks for this Tom ☺ Also the final image is a winner - absolutely stunning!!
Glad to see you finally produced an autumn shot in colour 😊
I was really hoping the last shot would be in color and when he revealed it I let out an audible "YES!" It was perfect.
Beautiful color palette on that last shot! It's a superb image that captures the mood of autumn! Brilliant composition and a brilliant image all around!
Looks like you trod in the same steps as me a couple weeks back. I did not get the light you had. But if you get a chance take a look at my Flickr at the lone tree from the quarry be interested to see what you think.
That hotel at the start looked, as you would say... "absolutely stunning!!"
The vision to see the potential in a scene is where the art begins - and doing the work to make it happen. Great video Thomas
Top, top video Thomas. The B&W of the Silver Birches at Hodge Close and that last colour shot at Rydal are great images. Hope you don't mind but here is the same location about a week and a half earlier: twitter.com/RonsonPhoto/status/918367428169666561
Nice
excellent
Great video, Thomas. A lovely story showing the highs and lows of a photographer and your final image was breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
That first image - did you have B&W in mind at the time you were taking it - or was it something that you discovered in post? What leads you to determine if an imagine is better for B&W than color?
Great video. Was waiting for that color picture at end during entire episode.
Let's be a bit more blunt shall we....95% of black and white pictures are lame. Sucking all the color out of images *rarely* improves the image.
Just came by your Channel, and am thoroughly enjoying them so far! Also, cheers for introducing me to Martin Halls music, very beautiful indeed! Keep up the great work.
Such lovely photos as always! So calm and tranquil, just as the lake district feels. Can you tell me what the name is of the app Simon was using?
That last posted image probably ranks as my favourite image thus far from you Thomas, well done mate stunning light.
Sundays a diet of Thomas, Simon followed up with a small helping of Kim Grant, .........goes well with the pudding......love it.
Hi, Could I ask what the blemish was on your camera? and was it a quick fix......? I had the same problem today!!! Thank you in advance p.s awesome vid as per usual......................
Well done! It felt like I was right there with you that morning. Great storytelling 😀 i Loved the last image btw.
Loved the last image. Those conditions were indeed fantastic.
Diego McCartney, now that's different.
My favorite as well. I would like to see how he went about editing it though too.
Love watching every second of Thomas's videos.... he's passionate, creative & imaginative. The 'Alfred Wainwright' of landscape photography. An 'absolutely stunning' kinda bloke who oozes inspiration. All credit fella ;-)
BTW Simon Wasn't sick at all. He was at the Woodland with @seantucker. Check his channel. ...😂😂😂😂
Lovely morning in the UK Tom... It's fun using the 70-200, isn't it? Do you lock up the mirror Tom?
I enjoyed your recent panel discussion at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island along with Erin, Bryan & Nick...
It is about a 3 1/2 drive for me to reach Acadia, due east from here in central Vermont.
Cheers,
Bill Farr...
T-Heat,
Alpha and Omega. The first and last images were mighty, mighty!
Personally, I prefer, much like when riding a motorcycle across These United States, to pursue photographic endeavor in solitude. It may be my minimal brain-pan capacity, but it's easier for me to better reach my goal without external human give/take.
Thank-You,
Mike
I was at Tarn How’s the same morning as your Vlog. 50mph winds the day before, then the next morning....nothing. Got some great images and reflections. Love the channel.
Talking about capturing the essence of autumn and making black and white images....oh Thomas. Nevertheless, they were beautiful, I love your channel
wow! The best image, wonderful colour, Good morning here! Thank ever much! Thomas.....,
Again as always The Master of the Landscape Shots with those very special moments in time. It made me wish I was there. Truly a very special place the Lake District - Some say, England's Finest Corner. May I take this opportunity Thomas to thank you again for coming over to Belfast, Northern Ireland on Saturday 21st. October. You did Great !
Beautiful shots, thanks Thomas. A bad day followed by a brilliant day - that’s photography for you. Glad Simon was feeling better. Hope you got the camera fixed.
I'm no landscape photographer but agree it's about the experience - a good reason to head the country.
Hi!
This place is beautiful and the pictures are gorgeous...The last one I loved the most! You posted on Instagram and I thought viewing a XIXcentury fine english painting. Congrats!
All my best.
What brilliant pictures!! Absolutely loved this episode. Thanks Heaton
Just watched your video.
A day late but WOW!!!! Well worth the wait. Those photos were epic.
Your passion for your work reflected in those pictures .
Gorgeous images. Seriously. ... your best yet.
Well done sir. Sorry about your camera 😦
Thomas,
When you have settled on your composition for a shot with a polarizer and say a 3-stop soft grad filter - how do you determine the correct shutter speed? Is it based on experience or are you metering the shot with your Camera to get the desired exposure?
Thanks,
Bill Miller, USA-North Carolina-Outer Banks
Question for everyone: I'm about to buy my first L series lens after being into photography for five years with nothing more than the kit lenses. I am stuck between the canon 16-35 f4, and a variant of the 70-200, as i love switching between wide and long focal lengths. I shoot mostly landscapes and portraits. Which way should i go first?
Thomas
I really love how many vlogs you are creating. Love all that you do. Thanks for introducing me to Martin Hall.

Thanks Thomas I very much enjoy your videos. Your voice is calming your advice is excellent making the whole thing enjoyable and something I look forward to.
It might have been a mere recce, but it was wonderful! Gorgeous shots from both the drone (Simon Baxter's or yours?) and the camera. It was very interesting to watch this video and Simon Baxter's's version of the same trip. Thanks to you both! BTW: excellent choice of music! Would you please cite your sources (the composers, and stock music service if used, deserve recognition. Cheers!
Hello Thomas do you have any problem trying to focusing with the 70_200 mm in the wind? Does the wind shake your lens?
Hey Tom, I see you're shooting in a custom white balance. As you're shooting in raw, why custom white balance over say, daylight, cloudy or shade? And, do you adjust CWB with each scene?
Thomas, what app was Simon using during the clip where he shows you the weather? Ive been looking for something like that and Ive been unable to find anything reliable, specifically and app that shows cloud cover...
Sundays are the days i goto church where i sit in my office and watch Thomas Heatons new VLOGS. Its all about Sunday. Great Vid Thomas.. Lovely Images
Thomas,
Do you know where you can buy a Martin Hall cd?

I love the vlogs that show you exploring an area, that and the dialogue behind your images.
The final image is beautiful Tom, the cinematography and music just get better and better.👍
As always, take care and stay safe.🍀👌
Thanks for your work Thomas. My budgie often sits in my shoulder while I watch your videos and today he said “stunning”... so you’ve even rubbed off on Charlie the Aussie budgie 👍🏻
all the colours and you chose to finish it by making it BLACK AND WHITE
Absolutely loved your storytelling and the sharing of your experiences, the photos simply added the cherry on top
Can’t wait til Wednesday!
Speaking of weather, any apps or services can predict fog around Europe? Reliably, I mean, and all kinds of it - low clouds, radiating fog and others?
Euro Autumn is one of the best things I've experienced since moving from Australia, love your work Thomas and thanks for inspiring me every week ✌🏽
Wonderfully relaxing peaceful video! Thanks Thomas.
Absolutely stunning! You are great, please keep doing this forever. Your last photograph was superb! Please show your photographs for a few more seconds in the video, so we can appreciate them without having to press "pause" button. Thank you, and greetings from Brazil.
I haven't watched your vid yet, because I am to bussy postproducing my holidays. But I will watch your post and I will most surtenly like it. I have one question though: "Where do you draw the line between a holiday snapshot and a photo?".
Love how you keep it real. Had same issue with ripples, but with children skimming stones on the Hooker Valley Track lake, with "simply stunning" reflections of Aoraki/Mt Cook and icebergs on the lake being temporarily "altered" by the numerous and rather large ripples! Even though I wanted the aliens to come and teleport the kiddies into another dimension, I simply waited until they got bored and moved on, no one owns the great outdoors, share and share alike!
Hi Thomas! Could you explain to me about the filter system you are using? I am currently just using filters that you screw onto your lens but I'm interested in changing to the system you are using. I don't even know what I'd be shopping for though. Do you have to have a separate system per lens or is it one size fits all? Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks mate
The last image is absolutely awesome Sir Thomas...definitely calendar worthy:)
Ha! I just had the geese problem yesterday morning. There were dozens and they kept moving, taking off and landing. I was trying to get reflections. By the time the all left, the light had left. Oh well.
It's funny, you said "... I can't see a composition" and I was just thinking hmmm look at those lovely vivid green rocks over your shoulder with the three trees stepping up the rise. :)
I dont know why but i really like this video, though i like pretty much all your videos, but this one, i dont know, something about it i like!
PS, whatever happened to that TV deal you were hoping for?
Wow...that last image was very calendar worthy! Very nice job Thomas!!
I’ve been inspired to up my photo game and instead of finding a subject first and everything coming second, I’m trying to focus on lighting first. I think I need to buy some better filters but so far so good.
Thanks Tom 👍🏻
Wonderful shots Tom. It's amazing what you pull out of a scene. 2 stop grad? could you do the same thing in lightroom?
Grate video as always bro..quick question bud how do you do your audio it's always nice and crisp..?👍🏼
I actually loved this video. Your enthusiasm for photography is so encouraging. I can't wait for the weekend now and get some shots !
Gotta say, your cinematography for the videos has been just great lately! Moving in and out of frame of the mounted 2nd camera/drone with minimalist edits just really focuses everything on being present on the location with you.
The Problem shooting in the Lake District is that there are too many locations.
But you have a brilliant eye and keep on finding New ones...
:)
Nice one Tom.
This vlog Thomas was an absolute pleasure to watch. All the images were truly beautiful and along with the music, your commentary and drone footage conveyed a lovely feeling of serenity throughout.
This is such a beautiful video!! Just so well done thomas :) and the last image is really a killer. The colors and the reflection and the different hights of the trees, just fantastic.
Really really enjoyed this video!
Just got a small heart attack seeing you driving on the left side of the road before remembering you're located in England. Nice Video, keep up the great work!
when I go shooting, I take 400 shots a day, and keep from 3 to 10 of them. First two photos I wouldn't even bother, last one is definitely a keeper.
That last image is amazing! Lovely colours and the calmly mood you feel when you watch that photo over and over again. Fantastic!
No internet all weekend! Watching this on Monday evening! Thumbs up!!
A day in the life. There is enough depth in your videos to enable many of us to pick and choose which parts give us the most joy. It's good for me to see a photographer in the elements feeling the full flow of life, pleasant and unpleasant. Thank you for your work.
Thanks for another great video Thomas! That was definitely a beautiful location!
"The hardest thing about art is knowing when to quit" - Picasso. * Well, shoot some geese landing & swimming too. It gives you more images to work with.
These videos are so peaceful and calming and inspiring. Fantastic work!
Thomas, is there a particular metering mode that you use for landscapes? I was thinking about your comment about just waiting patiently for the light to be right - in cases like this do you use evaluative?
Curious if you've ever had a scene where the changing light could do no wrong and u set up an interval 2 let's say shoot 1 a minute for an hour. Comparison later. More than one beautiful image? Etc...
I see your using the Vanguard tripod instead of your Manfrotto, but still the Manfrotto ball head, any particular reason ?? does it make any difference with the same manfrotto head on ?
Thanks!!! What a beauty :)
The music, the pics, the whole video!!
I'm glad you showed us the ups and downs when you go out to shoot. Your attitude towards the "problems " is really inspiring. It's an honest video... can't get any better than this. :)
Sunday video....love it! Thank you! :)
Your last few videos have had a different tone to them. Much more relaxed, without the drive to get a photo. You seem to be enjoying the moment more. Very nice. Keep it up, time can pass so quickly.
Your videos are such a great inspiration for myself! I’m new to the dslr cameras and honestly you’ve said it multiple times the only way to get better is to get out and shoot which has helped massively! Thank you for posing these videos!
Love Rydal water, spent many days fishing there, some very nice compositions around its shoreline. 🙂
loved the next morning shoot...very nice choice of music...everything perfect
