You Won't Believe This Drive & The Photography Along the Way

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I drive my van to Þakgil canyon campsite in Iceland. The drive is incredible and so is the landscape photography. I set off thinking that this was the best campsite in Iceland, but now I think it is the best campsite in the world. Þakgil campsite is located in the south of Iceland and all information can be found with a quick google search of "Thakgil campsite". Thank you to MPB for sponsoring this video.

Nobody, absolutely nobody does B roll like you man. I’ve thought it for years of watching yours and everyone else’s videos, you are at the top of the game with your videos and nobody is even a close second.
Please do more series like this, so entertaining! That campsite, the drone shot and the cascading waterfall shot, absolutely stunning!
Thanks. I'll show my wife this comment 🤙
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I think I can help you out there mate! Dear Mrs Heaton, we the audience humbly request more of your husband's valuable time. His content is simply too good and we need more of it. 🙏🏻😅
@@ThomasHeatonPhotomake a camping content with your wife too 😊
Obviously, photography is your job, but remember that sometimes you can just enjoy living in the moment and enjoy the beauty. Lovely trip, may it continue to fill you with beauty and inspiration.
I get it...at the end there...FREEZE the germs off!!!
;)
Thanks for another great video Thomas!!

There is a shot or two there going in your next book for sure.
I love the simplicity of your photography and of the way you travel.
I appreciate that, thanks a lot.
I drove my old Focus in 2007 down a very rough road to the red sand beach in west Iceland. Only 4x4s there. Lots of stares. It was a 4x4 route, no damage done but it was a challenge. I rode the ruts and took it slow. I did take fewer "challenges" after that. A route to an old Dew Line radar station out east was toooo rough. Tooth filling rattling and so i felt discretion was the better part of valour 😂😂😂 esp when i had to get back to the uk in the same car.
Did the iceland run again the following year, same car. Sold the car after that, with some sorrow. Probably baked bean cans now although i kept the under bonnet slam panel a mechanic broke (by leaning on it) as a souvenir 😂😂😂
thank you for this beautifull report. I recognised the camping from years ago. we didn't stay there but visited the surrounding . thxs again
Indicating to turn off in the middle of nowhere for the benefit of the seagulls 😂Bless ya - great adventure, bravo!
Glad I wasn't the only one to think that 😂😂
@carmenjgarciap8153 it's an automatic reaction IF people indicate....not everyone indicates like BMW'S,VOLVO OR BOY RACERS OR ANYBODY WITH NEW CARS F@@@@@ B @@@@@@@
Haha. Force of habit.
Did you consider the signal? The irony of the balls it took getting in that freezing pool...
@@carmenjgarciap8153same here😂
Gavin would be proud of that waterfall shot
Доброе утро. Спасибо за отличное видео. Прекрасная природа, красивые места. Мы тоже очень любим путешествовать по красивым, природным местам. Удачи Вам в путешествиях. Привет из России.
Привет из Англия. я хочу путешествовать по России, возможности для фотографии должны быть очень хороший. Я пытаюсь выучить русский язык и мне нужно иногда польза Google
@@fiizzy3884 Тоже хочу изучить английский язык. Россия - большая страна и красивая. Приезжайте. У нас есть и пустыни, горы и моря, степи и тундры.....и много лесов. Будем рады Вам.
Oh yes, more awesomeness ! 👏👍😀 Ps for the ladies, Thomas Heaton almost naked! 🤣😂🤣
Nothing says landscape photography like a lump of rock 🤣🤣🤣 but a beautiful lump of rock at that. 👍😎 love the location😍
The only Mitshubishi that sounds like a Maserati 😂
Beautiful place! nice video as always Tom! 7 years following you without missing a single video... never getting bored...
big hug from Spain
I’m always, as another “Semi famous” Utuber says “In Awe” of the work you produce!!! I number one cannot afford all the fancy post software that adjusts my images to make them all look just so perfect. I like the simplicity of shooting exactly what I see, compose, and leaving it alone!!!!
Some are keepers, some are wow, and some are DUNG!!!! But I’m old school and that’s why I love photography!!!!
That’s why I’m in “Awe” of what you do because!!!!!! It’s in you’re eyes and heart that translate onto the images!!!! Simple and yet complex!!!!
Thanks Thomas for another great adventure!!!!!!
Did have a chuckle when you pulled into the "lay-by" for your first photo, that in the middle of nowhere on a dirt track with no one in sight, you signalled to turn left 😂 Always remember the highway code! Cracking video as always!
Bloody magnificent, Thomas. But jeez, you must have balls of steel to jump in a pool like that! Very tiny, shrunken balls of steel. Legend.
Sudden end 😄 could have watched for an hour … 👍🏼
2 great images. Drone shot has the win tho I have to say loved it
Thomas, wow I am blown away by this adventure, I so want to be at that campsite, Thank You for all of this
I really enjoyed this one! Amazing views! Like WOW! And you shot a waterfall!! I know you’ve mentioned before that waterfalls aren’t really your thing. Great job! Gavin’s gonna be jealous!
another Thomas banger
Only one word: WONDERFUL !!!
Perfect. Thanks again.
Thank you again for taking us along. I have to agree it’s a stunning campsite!!
I love the waterfall shot. Looked like you were channeling your inner Gavin Hardcastle.
All the geological activity - Iceland's western part is on the American tectonic plate and the other on the European. As these plates drift apart, Iceland gets larger (or will be torn into two parts at some point).
Awesome Video as always!!
The second I heard you say you were taking a hike without your camera, I thought; you are going to regret that 😄
Oye! You cant just light a fire in a mesh basket without mentioning anything about it! What magic is this? 😂
Watching your video while sitting in my own van in a small village in France on a 5 week road trip is surreal. Last night I had the best dark sky I have ever exprienced in my life, seeing the milky way in a clarity and with structure that I've never seen before and this was not even the darkest place of my route. I do astrophotography and I have some equipment with me, but watching your videos encourage me to also do more landscape photography. Fun fact - I have the same or at least a similar portable fire pit with me, but the only campsite that permits a campfire so far was in Switzerland and each camp had it's own fireplace. I hope you enjoyed your trip as much as I do.
Great video as always. Shout out to the scene-stealing mushroom at 2:45 (and after) that made me laugh.
One word ' Amazing' 👍
Your Happy place
I love that You walk extra mile and recorded sound of car too... :)
Please travel between Geneva to
Nice trough the Alps and you will
Discover more beautiful peaks....
Waterfalls... lakes....
Hey Thomas, I am enjoying your photography excursion to Iceland. Your photography is beautiful and your videos are fantastic. I look forward to your videos every week.
You probably make some of the best videos on all of RUclips.
We got back from Iceland two weeks ago. Our visit to Pakgill campsite was simply amazing, I recommend it to everyone.
I think Iceland is the most photogenic place on the face of the Earth. I'll make it there one day. Great stuff as usual Thomas.
it sure is, and if you manage to bring your friends as well it gets even better to share the experience
“I might go for a wander without the camera……” caused me to shout, “nooooooo!” at the screen.
That dip at the end - you're nuts surely!! Hahahaha. Great campsite and place to enjoy and explore though.
This is a most epic adventure, Thomas. Thanks for sharing it with us, noisy exhaust included!
Another fantastic tour episode, they are never long enough! I always want more and have to wait until next week 😀
That's good to know. I usually cut them down as I think they're too long, but I'll see about making next week's a little longer.
@@ThomasHeatonPhotodon't ever think they're too long, it's just wonderfully being taken on a journey with you.
@@ThomasHeatonPhotoI appreciate that time sensitivity but I concur with the other guys. However long they need to be!
@@ThomasHeatonPhotoI’ve really enjoyed some of your really long ones before too, you’re massive hike videos are brilliant.
Lets go Thomas!
I can't believe I just noticed now you have F11 HTN reg plate...........lol very cool.
Enjoyed this one a lot !! The exhaust soundtrack was on point too😂
Wow. The terrain is like it was made for the eye to behold. Just stunning.
Another great video Thomas.
Wow what a fantastic campsite.
Loved the drone footage with amazing view's.
Fair play for going in the freezing cold water, rather you than me.
Look forward to the next one.
Great campsite great country lovely images and a plung pool what more could you want thank you for the video Burt
Brings back memories. My Rental car windscreen got chipped on that road to Pakgil. Stunning campsite - I heard other tourists nickname it Jurassic Park
This is why Iceland is my favourite country. Tom has captured it perfectly. Cheers Tom lad 👍
@@phillipbanes5484 entitled to your own opinion mate. All i can say is I visited the country 6 times and have seen 2 live volcanos erupting, glaciers, 100s of waterfalls, black sand beaches, high sea cliffs, landscapes which change around every corner and change with the weather and much more. There is no other country like it. If thats not for you, then that’s cool.
@@phillipbanes5484 difference is Icelands is all concentrated in a far smaller area so can be done in a few weeks. To do this in America would take far far longer and far more expensive, over multiple trips. Again whatever floats ye boat.
@@phillipbanes5484 I disagree with what you say when it comes to the accessibility to the variation that Iceland gives you in a relatively small area but lets agree to disagree. Enjoy your day
@@phillipbanes5484 what I said was facts also, so don't know what you're disagreeing with either. Again have a nice day.
@@phillipbanes5484 listen sister. It’s my opinion and you ain’t changing it even with your obsessive reply’s. You love America I love Iceland. Leave it there and again have a nice day 😘
Brilliant video Thomas. You never cease to amaze with your editing, continuity and thoroughly mesmerising videos.
Beware - this is a scam@thomasheaton.
I love the photography (the reason i started watching years ago) but i have to say i love the travel videos just as much now
Its the elements of your videogrpahy that make me think. The drone and static cameras capturing your journey in your van. You dont even realise the effort you have to do to capture the scenes. Great work as always Thomas, stunning captures👌
Can see why you rated the camp site Thomas, the drive in must be a sight to behold and that first image definitely a contender for a future book or calendar.
And that wee hike you did.... thats why I own a superzoom (24-240mm in my case). It's not super sharp, BUT, it usually gives you enough for any shot on a scouting hike... and can still print at like 30" x 20" if necessary (if a scene is epic... it's going to be "good enough"). My other option if I am being super light is my Sony RX100 VI which sports a 24-200mm equivalent - but of course its only a 1 inch sensor - so a bit more limiting. Regardless - nice when you don't want to carry a 16-35 F2.8, 24-70 F2.8 and 100-400mm on a scout. Can highly recommend having specific gear for scouting!
Still can't believe your guy didn't just wrap it in exhaust tape for you. Five minute job and would have made a load of difference for the time being. Thats the power of it being last thing on a Friday! Keep some in the van next time.
My God drone footage (B role) is so impressive!
Inspiring and encouraging to see the waterfall was one exposure.
As a certain person would say, "it doesnt get any better than this"! Thanks Tom, top job 👍
Superb location. Wow...
What an awesome video, loved the drone shot! This campside looks perfect, indeed (:
Beware - this is a scam@thomasheaton.
What a beautiful place for a campsite ❤ and your Vlog + photos as always freaking amazing!!! Such a great content! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Best wishes
Epic, Tom! Thanks for all the hard work you put in 😄
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
What a drive and campsite!
Cant imagine the time taken just to shoot these kind of videos. Setup camera, drive pass, drive back, pick up camera, rinse and repeat gazillion times....... You must love it to keep doing it :)
BEAUTIFUL!!!❤
Thomas. Your videos give me constant inspiration especially when I’m feeling low. My partner and I are on the cusp of stepping out on our own and what you do on a daily gives me that drive to take that step. Many thanks from down under.😊
Beware - this is a scam@thomasheaton.
I love this kind of videos! Great adventure, beautiful pictures, stunning locations!
Thumbs up for MPB from me - used them several times and very happy with outcome on each occasion. No connection with the company other than as a customer.
Wow? 😮😮😮
Looks like a great time
Thanks Thomas ! I spent far too little time at Thakgil in 2021. Hope to see you make better use of that location than I did then...
Loving your travels in Iceland and some stunning photographs.
This is turning into a camping show, with a little photography.
Thakgil is a very nice camp site. Depending on the time of the summer (and the date, for example bank holiday in august) it can be pretty crowded. Best thing is: You get rather deep into the highlands without the need of crossing through a river. The road can be a bit rough sometimes.
About this small lake under the waterfall: This was literally comes down from the glaciers, so it is very cold.
Thanks for the info, now I know I'm not too soft, because yes, it was freezing.
I was there in Thakgil 4 or 5 years ago when you were there with the amazing cloud formations. It was an amazing experience!!!!
Fallen into the same trap with my Z6 many a time: bracket exposures for clean shadows and my camera essentially says (in its best Jeremy Clarkson voice) "reeeeelaaaaaxxx! We've got plenty dynamic range"
I enjoyed the Drive i am Just back myself from a week long trip out the West of Ireland and i have to say some of the drives ive been on are comparative if not more impressive that the one you were on now id like to show you however ive such a backlog of Videos i wont have them up until at least December this year as ive been using the summer to just create loads of interesting content from around Ireland and 100% the Eco flow has been a game changer even though i have the baby one it is so great to be able to charge things on the go
Super video as per Heaton … for a moment I thought you were lighting your chair up as the fire 🔥 at the evening camp … Stunning scenery 👍✌️🙏
When I saw a new video from your Iceland trip, I got so excited as if it was a new episode of Game of Thrones would back in the day. Compared to the crammed American campsites I've been to, full of huge RVs and generators, that campsite is like a dreamscape. Parked right next to a gorgeous canyon with a waterfall at the end of it and you actually seem to have some personal space and privacy? Amazing!
STUNNING, there is nothing else to add
Fantastic!
Beautiful, wish I could drive there as well!! Would love to have my camper with me :)
3:20
all of your shots on this series have been incredible. that drone shot though is one of my favorites!
Magical Thomas, One day I will get to Iceland, thanks for sharing.
Amazing location and, yes, that does look rather precarious!
What an amazing place! Good thing for you you didn't go in the middle of July... I drove there then and the campsite was completely packed!
Another fantastic adventure with stunning photography! Thanks for taking me along!
Excited to see what you got here as I only just had my first visit there this summer! Indeed a place I'd love to return to and do the big hike towards north 😊
Van sounds great!
Great place Pakgil.I was one year ago. Hikes around breathtaking. Waiting for your pictures.
Had to shower in the river systems at the base of Vatnajökull National Park gorge hike man that glacial ice melt is freezing but when you really really need a wash😅 it was the best wash I’d ever had in me birthday suit 11 at night no one but me…..awesome 😅
These videos are inspiring, Thomas going to different parts of the world and taking these beautiful photos. I like to watch the ones more in the U.K. because that’s all I can afford to travel to. Iceland is extremely expensive, even if you have a camper, and I would never be able to afford to do that. I wish I could. He’s an exceptional photographer with huge talent. I would like to be a professional but I’ve been told in feedback from my photography club that I just not that good, even though I like my photos.
That cold swim, WOW! Greetings from The Netherlands
Love watching your adventures! Keep it up
Each video it's own entertaining adventure....brilliant and informative.
I’ve been there and yes, it is a crazy drive and a fantastic camp site!
This Icelandic adventure is the best !!
