- I travelled to the USA to photograph storms. It was an unforgettable experience, and easily one of the most exciting things you can do with a camera, in my case a Nikon Z8. Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video, for 10% off your next domain or website visit www.squarespace.com/heaton

I haven't seen Thomas look that animated and excited in a long time. It was great to see him doing something so out of his usual wheelhouse of tranquil minimalist nature shots (although those are gorgeous, too)!!!❤
The evolution of Thomas Heaton!
From British Landscape photographer to International Adventure-seeking content maker!
Haha, You have given me a new job title.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I hope you do more of these adventures. You are really very good at conveying the feeling and drama, in a spontaneous, real way. Makes me think of Bear Grylls. Very enjoyable to watch.
I'm soooo jealous. Clouds fascinate me, how hundreds of tons of water and ice can hang in the sky is mind boggling.
We have a Tornado Warning! Someone tell the guy in the back of the truck his lens cap is on 😂
I was wondering if anyone noticed that - done it myself 😂
Haha, tell me you've never done this. I do it regularly 😂
Constantly 😂
I was laughing at that myself 😂 laughing because It happens me and I’m like. Hope nobody seen 😂😂
Your excitement is infectious!
right in my neighborhood! That week you were here was WILD for storms. Glad you got to experience it!
Never in a million years did I except to watch a Heaton video and see my home town of Omaha, Nebraska in the video! Great work as always Tom!
Too bad we didn't know he was passing thru - could have joined the convoy and photographed with him.
That's what I said watching this!
Jo: Cow.
Jo: another cow.
Bill: Actually I think that was the same one.
😅
One of you best ever films. Enthusiasm at 100%. Brilliant.
Chasing Awe, The Thomas Heaton Edition 🌪️
There’s a link in the description. 😂😂
Glad you had the opportunity to come shoot with Mike! I've been chasing since 2015 and just keep coming back for more. I also spend summers in the desert southwest of the U.S. shooting incredible monsoon storms with saguaro cacti and mountains for composition! You should come out and see!
Mike was awesome and I can see why you keep coming back for more. I can't wait to get back out there!!
Fellow Oklahoman here, right in the heart of Tornado Alley. Come April every year I start to get excited. We almost lost the house this year though. Tornado jumped over our house less than a 1/4 mile away and came back down about 20 miles to the east.
As a Minnesota storm chasing photographer, it would have blown my mind to run into Tom in my home state. His excitement is the reason we drive 100s of miles to get a glimpse of a storm. Looking forward to next week's video!
I'm hopefully returning next year. I'm already addicted.
What an incredible adventure, Tom. Absolutely stunning!
Landscape photographer, wildlife photographer, storm chaser... Brilliant way to diversify your skills🔥🔥🔥
Your excitement and joy was contagious throughout this adventure. Well done!
11:19 driving thru a stop sign, lucky to be still with us.
it's edited, relax
The way was clear: no traffic because the locals know the drill and are holed up.
@@petrub27 WTF...it was not edited at all - he clearly blasted the stop sign.....but yeah...."relax" because you know Kelley Williamson and Randall Yarnall thought it was ok to blast the sign as well. SMFH
agree 100%.
And this is why even as a wretched Houstonian, I follow storm chasers all the time. The storms are simply amazing, and to watch the chasers go through all their data and experience to figure out where and when to be at a location is inspiring. Look forward to your next vid.
I grew up close to monument rocks, and it's crazy how often we all take it for granted. That photo is really awesome.
Never expected to see you of all people in my home town. The farm you stopped in front of at 17:50 has the best sweet corn in the world. Many moons ago I learned to drive a stick shift on the road in your picture from there too! I will also add when I used to go out chasing I pretty much only used my 10-22mm.
That rotating supercell is the most beautiful footage I have seen in a very long time... Well done Thomas, on how you captured that!
Leave it to a landscape photographer to get his tripod out when a tornado is forming... "I'm just looking for a composition and waiting for the light" :)
I'll say it again, better than anything they put on TV. That was fantastic.
Agreed. If only that censorship wouldn’t be if it comes to some specific other content.
As dangerous as storm chasing can be it’s truly exhilarating and Thomas this is a life experience you will never forget. Stay safe looking forward to the next segment. 🌪⛈💨📸
If you didn't find good food, you looked in the wrong place... I can assure you. Whether BBQ in Texas / Carolinas, Cajun in Louisiana, whatever -- It's out there. You just have to move beyond freeway fuel stop frozen food faff. 🙂
haha, trashes american food and then proceeds to eat a fuckin' tornado from a gas station
Haha, yes, I was a little harsh about American cuisine. We had many unbelievable BBQs. So much so that I bought a smoker. But, sadly most of the time we were restricted to gas stations and fast food 🤢
I was just thinking, a Brit complaining about the cuisine is rather like a Quebecois complaining about people being rude. 🤣 Getting food at a gas station is never recommended.
Half of the team has been spoiled by Icelandic gas station food
@@ThomasHeatonPhotoYou aren't wrong about gas station food, I don't do fast food either. When I do, I'm picky, I'll pack a PB&J and be just fine. Lol. The US allows a lot of trash that has zero good purpose for it to be in the food. You had me at bill gates lab created meat. That got you another sub. They need to stop messing with the food and clean it up. It takes too long to shop when you have to look at the ingredients on everything.
It's easy to get addicted to chasing, especially if you are a weather nerd. If I could combine nurse + meteorology/weather/chasing/photography for a career, I'd be set. LoL.
As an ex Met Tech and now hobby landscape photographer I often make references to friends about great Skyscapes in photos. Welcome to the world of Skyscape photography Thomas.
What a fantastic video it was brilliant, the photos you took were amazing.
Thank you for sharing it with us Thomas, can’t wait for next week’s video.
Thomas living his best life. Delightful!
Absolutely amazing. Looking forward to next weeks storm chaser fix from the one and only Thomas Heaton. I expected you to be in your own van!
We have some great food-- but it's rarely to be found in a service station. There are exceptions, but they're not common.
Yep, I was a little thrown off when he said that, considering the US has the 6th most Michelin starred restaurants in the world. I'm from New Orleans and everyone comes here to eat! ha
@@dr.dedrickminor1184 Aye, although most of those Michelin stars are in the big coastal metros. As far as food on the road, my only recommendation would be to aim for the larger truck stops like Pilot or Love's which tend to have better food than the normal gas stations and convenience stores. Or if you can find a Buc-ees, those have a lot of options and the quality's pretty good, and they're also a bit of a uniquely-American spectacle. "What if we made a 7-Eleven but it's ten times bigger and has a mascot roaming around?"
Straight through a stop sign at 11.23!!
Something I've always wanted to do as long as I can remember...looks flippin' amazing. That cell was wild!
It's cool to see someone so excited over this. Growing up and living in the Midwest US, this is normal springtime weather.
Yeah, it’s fun to see a fresh perspective on something we take for granted. Dangerous but beautiful.
Way to go Thomas! Fried convenience store nom-noms and the Ramada Inn. A midwestern road trip bucket list!
A true American experience!
That was exciting!
Ultimate adrenaline rush, nothing more dramatic than Mother Nature, knowing when to bail is a must 🤔🌪️⛈️☔️
Wow Stunning shots. Glad you are having a amazing time
Best three sentences of RUclips ever 1:53, specifically the 3rd one. 😁👍🏻🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. I didn’t expect that, indeed a lovely nice surprise!
Tom out there just living the best life most of us sitting in the office or on a site wanting to do at least 1 of these mad adventures in our lifetimes and he's out there doing week after week of adventures well done and no better man to present these awsome places to visit
Welcome to one of the best shows on the planet. It is awesome to feel the power of mother nature.
This makes me want to book a flight to the southwest during monsoon season. Absolutely exhilarating to watch. I can only imagine how it felt in person
Great episode. Hearing storm sirens in person really makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck!
Your eyes speak for themselves. I believe you had a fantastic time. This video reminds me of when I lived in the States. My glory days with my camera, driving many miles and enjoying photography until I die. Thank you, Thomas, for sharing this content. Never stop doing your job; it is a treasure for many people like me. Thanks and safe travels.
I was born and raised in Utah and have lived here all of my life but recently I've been traveling to Oklahoma for photography and video purposes. Just a couple of months ago I got to experience my first Tornado Warning complete with sirens and I felt exactly the same way you did. It's a rush and inexplicably I found myself wanting to go towards the danger. We humans are an odd species.
So fun to hear Tom's excitement in this video!
Beyond incredible and the hail stones are a massive token to this massive experience. Wow beyond Wow!!
Ahhh, now you know why I love making videos of big storms at sunset! Your scrambling around for a good view of it makes me extra thankful I now live with a panoramic view of storms over the huge reflecting pool that is Tampa Bay. If you ever fancy a landscape/ wildlife/ storm/ sunset photography trip to Florida, I know some great spots!
Straight through a Stop sign! Don't worry about a tornado but worry about the T bone.
Fantastic film Thomas, your excitement was palpable and well justified!! can’t wait for next film and thank you for sharing
Great video. Gonna watch again and count how many stop signs you blow through. 🤪
Oh and tell Dori to stick to flying. He’s never going to be a photographer leaving his lens cover on! 😃
I’ve seen them in person and the video doesn’t do justice at how imposing they look when you are there
I've been chasing storms for twenty years now and a few years back I subscribed to your channel thinking I needed inspiration for simpler landscapes photography. And now you do this! I guess I'm in a loop or something 😅
Your enthusiasm for seeing nature in its most epic form was great to see. Having been through some of these storms including getting a direct hit of a hurricane last week makes one realize over and over again how truly grand although sometimes a bit scary our world is. That you were able to experience and record it was truly wonderful and I can't hardly wait for the next one.
Excellent video, my heart was pounding just watching 😲
I live in Colorado. Last year I also got such an emergency warning of 3 inch hail stones. It was terrifying. I was right in the centre of that storm. The skies were almost black all around. Rushed out of there as fast as I could, and managed to keep my car in one piece. Very intense indeed.
This is exactly what you needed to do. Very exciting and fun video!
This is the best photography content I've seen in years. Awesome - great video, amazing shots.
I’ve been storm chasing since about 2009. There’s nothing quite like it. Even if you don’t find what you’re looking for (tornadoes), often times you’re rewarded with something unexpected
Awesome video and stills what a shoot I’m a lover of storm photography I’ve shot some nice stuff in New Zealand but that place is an absolute number one on my bucket list. It always blows my mind how one group of people can be so excited chasing these monsters of nature while the residents of affected areas must be bricking it given how destructive unpredictable and deadly these storms are. Quality episode that Thomas up there with your best in my opinion 📷🌪️
LOL! (14:23) "I am not really thinking what I am Photographing" the adrenaline sinking in LOL!
from Virginia, welcome to America! On many of your videos from the UK I wish I were there because we don't have those views here, but to see you here in our environment is fun. Enjoy!
Been looking forward to this so much and it did not disappoint. Absolutely epic.
Fantastic. What a thrilling adventure. You sure look like you are buzzing. Looking forard to the next video.
Damn, this was so exciting! I had goosebumps watching, can't imagine what was like actually being there 😲
It has been such a pleasure to watch you grow and evolve as a person and in your pursuit of photography and how your photography has evolved as a result. Thank you for being an insiration to me and im sure many others.
The music you selected really takes this vlog to the next level. It really sets the mood and emotions. And its I dont know... drives me crazy what a HUGE impact music can have and it is in come cases just a background element to which at times you dont even pay attention to.
THIS is my dream holiday ❤
This is a dream of mine........what a fabulous experience and a brilliant video Tom.
Fantastic. I grew up thereabouts, thinking it was all so normal. Great to see someone experience the thrill of it anew.
Welcome to Minnesota Tom…. you drove through my area!!! one of your many subscribers wish you safe travels through Minnesota! Siren was for a tornado warning! only thing they typically blow them for
I got to meet Mike at a weather talk. Great photographer, great guy. What a great opportunity to ride along with him. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Hi Thomas, great video journal of your adventures, and a great channel. Looking forward to the next one.
This is one of the most amazing photography vlogs I’ve watched! Epic and incredibly well made 😁
Great video. Good to see you in an excited mode. Do stay safe though. Mother nature is no joke.
3" hail? I've seen small pineapples hail. Massive damage! All Planes xcept DC-8,were out of commision Boeings no fly. Respect nature. Great moments! Personally a dangerous quest. Super images! Sky much darker in my storms! No tornado! Bravo Thomas!So heros forget lens caps!
Welcome to the upper midwest, Thomas!! You were so close to my northwest IL stomping grounds. You were also right about the tall grass--tick city! Watch those hail stones--we grow 'em big around here!
I traveled across the great plains last year and found it to be so beautiful in it's emptiness. I can't wait to go back.
Incredible video - one of your best! The tension and drama was amazing.
Wow, what a great time you had. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
What a phenomenal experience ❤
Deep in the midwest it can sometimes be flat and boring, just a little difficult for photography, but when a storm rolls in its so magnificent
1996 in North Dakota... Baseball sized hail. It was crazy.
Yeah storm chasing can be boring and fun!
Great video!
What a fantastic video and adventure.
I bet the car had quite a few dents in it from the hailstones.
Fantastic cloud formation.
Great image's as usual.
Can't wait to see the next one mate.
enough respect. Brutal on camera gear, and I dare say the car is covered in dents. Great photos and content.
Brilliant to see you having so much fun and cracking shots
Perhaps your most dramatic video, with images to match, so Cool!
Thanks a lot!! Drama was plentiful for the entire trip.
Lived in oklahoma all my life, just moved into tornado alley for work. The constant fearing for my life this year, having some of the worst weather on record and an EF2 tornado about a mile from me, is pretty damn annoying but I feel like we equally have the most beautiful weather on Earth. Supercell sunsets really are unbelievable
Sioux Falls! In a Heaton video! Never in a million years thought you’d be in my neck of the woods! Glad the plains were able to provide some storms for you
Next week: I find a hidden pyramid in Antarctica. Holy s**t you're getting about
Absolutely awe inspiring 😮 thanks for taking us along on that crazy ride!
Wow! Just Wow! My heart was pumping and I was just watching, can’t imagine what it must of been like for you Tom. I’ve been so looking forward to this one since you posted the picture a little while back. Breathtaking! Sooo looking forward to next weeks instalment 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, you are certainly braver than I am! I can sense the adrenaline and what dramatic photos too!
This is awesome. t's one in a life time experience. To go with Mike, is really a great treat. Have a great time and be safe.
Tom has no idea what's going on in the most endearing possible way 😆
You know next week is going to be a banger when the preview is mostly just Thomas making noises.
What an adventure! Amazing👏. Can't wait for the next one!
😮😮wow, what a fantastic experience 👏👏👏
Loved this, wish it was a series !
Ohhhhhh boy we are in. Great video as always.
Awesome! I recenly experience that crossing Texas. How exciting.
Absolutely phenomenal. Great video Thomas.
