I was the sweaty fat bloke who you passed as you were walking back. I couldn't believe it!! I saw someone walking towards me carrying a tripod, and I thought "He looks like Thomas Heaton" and when you said good morning, that clinched it. I spent lots of time shooting the same stack but I lack your compositional vision. After watching this I wish I could go back and do a do-over but as I'm back home in Surrey now that's not likely 🤣 Great video as always
Hi Amos. I'm sure you don't have Tom's compositional vision... only Tom does. But you have your own. Have confidence and follow your own vision, knowing that no one - not even Thomas Heaton - has that! Good luck.
I’m finding that flushing out a composition without having planned some ideas for what I’ll find at the my destination can be daunting. Then, I’ll spend time looking for compositions using themes i.e., lines, light, color…
Hi Amos, I, too live in Surrey and know the pain of longing for empty landscapes. We go to the Dales a few times a year to cycle and photograph the remoteness, only 4-5h drive!
Awesome that you saw Tom in the wild! I’ll echo what others have said here, you have a vision that’s all yours, it changes with you, use it and love it!
Went there in 1996 on a very stormy day in February having climbed Suilven the day before East to West traverse - it was wild - foam everywhere rolling over the beaches - one of the best low level walks I have done without getting too wet.
Tom: FINALLY! The classic Tom is back. Back to your roots of camping in the wild (or glamping this week). Honest, solid photography. Photo's that capture the essence of the place. Honesty in admitting in the morning that you weren't feeling it so no need of doing it. This is the Tom I have followed for years. No faking it for a sponsorship. This is what makes your channel stand head and shoulders above the rest. Keep on going my friend.
@@DannyFyffe I e-mailed Tom a couple of weeks ago communicating my thoughts on the channel. Not sure if he got it or ever read it, but felt it was important. Then I see this video and I'm inspired once again!
@@sakebombyum I spoke the truth on a video he put out a couple of weeks ago and the fanboys tried to take me out. I fought them all off and they hid back in their holes. Then Tom's last video came out where he admitted he has not been into it and so without naming me, he admitted all I said was correct. Now he puts this one out which takes him to his roots. This is the channel I joined up with. Not the guy with a free $14,000 camera and lens that none of his viewers can afford.
I always love watching your videos. It's not always about the photography and the amazing images you get, I love the adventure I feel. It's like I'm there with you and you really inspire me and give me ideas. Thanks Tom.
Anytime you can walk away with a pleasing image, it’s a successful and enjoyable outing. Love the images and the camping experience. Inspirational as always Thomas.
When I subscribed to Thomas's channel, he only had 50,000 subscribers. Now he has over 500,000 subscribers. I will subscribe to your calendar next year. Good luck.
Been your subscriber since the Dawn of Heaton. The vibe of this video reminds me so much of the old days. Those early videos that got me so inspired way back then. I have lost my way since, but this video has rekindled my interest to create new adventures with camping and photography.🤗
Beautiful again Thomas. Keep it up. Ive been a fan of yours for years now. The sheer calm and serenity your videography gives me has benefitted my mental health immensely. Thank you Tom for helping me ignite a passion I would pursue for life. Thank you Tom.
Gorgeous shots, Thomas! I love your photography. I am new to the channel, and trying to get back on my photographic horse after a bad fall. So, I appreciate your candid comments.
Just really found this refreshing tonight. After a very long week where we happen to live. To look at this beautiful place and your beautiful images felt like being on Holiday.
Hey Tom, I'm really enjoying the videos of this trip! I especially like the image you got in this one of the sea stack view. Beautiful! Also I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the way you are flipping back and forth between the raw and edited images. It really gives the viewer a chance to absorb the changes. Thanks for what you do!
I really enjoyed this camping/photography adventure! I turn 75 next month and my family frowns on me doing solo camping for photography! But, I won’t let that stop me! Thanks for taking me along!
Stunning lines, lovely compositions, a definite back to your roots video. Loved it. To come away with one good image is a win. You got two. Anyway its not just about the photography is it? Honest, straightforward and open with the bonus of a great eye for a shot. Thats what makes your channel.
I so enjoyed this video Tom. Couple of lovely images, a great adventure to boot. Like you say, it doesn't remotely matter that you didn't get a morning image. Lovely stuff! 👏
Thanks Thomas for sharing! Enjoyed watching this video a lot. Beautiful beach and beautiful compositions. Maybe you want to do more of these glamping videos, don‘t you?
I enjoyed the video as usual Thomas. Wow what a fantastic spot to camp and photograph that amazing beach. You captured some really nice image's as usual. Catch you on the next one.
I hope this message finds you well and in the midst of planning your next great adventure. As a long-time subscriber to your channel, I have thoroughly enjoyed tagging along on your photography camping trips. Your ability to capture the essence of nature with your camera is nothing short of mesmerizing. However, as someone who shares your passion for photography and occasionally dusts off my own film camera for a camping trip, I find myself longing for the nostalgic charm of film. It's been a while since we've seen you wield one of your beloved film cameras, and I can't help but miss the unique magic that film brings to your work. There's something incredibly special about the grain, the texture, and the timeless quality of film photography. It would be wonderful to see you incorporate your film cameras into your adventures once again. Perhaps a video or two where you embrace the slower, more deliberate process of shooting on film, capturing the serene beauty of the great outdoors in a way that only film can. Thank you for continuing to inspire and educate through your incredible content. I look forward to your future videos and the possibility of seeing more film photography on your channel.
Very enjoyable video. It's a beautiful bay, that one. My wife and I walked there in the pi**ing rain and were thoroughly soaked within minutes of starting the walk. But the vista was worth it.
I love this; felt like a throwback to the early vids I loved from you, Thomas. Hiking/camping vlogs made by a photographer. This felt peaceful, and relateable.
Everything looks like a fiery storm of grey. I can discern no beginning nor end between the water and the sky. Yet, you pulled out an amazing shot. Just amazing! 11:54 You have a very good eye. I’ve watched the first twelve minutes today. I’ll watch the rest tomorrow. Thank you!
Somehow the lighthearted spirit of this video lets it stand out! also I love the shots. Great work, even better than usual even though I can't put my finger one it. Maybe because it wants to make me go camping again, but since my last two hiking trips were plagued by sickness and bead weather living it through your eyes by proxy is just the right thing at this moment for me.
Thank you for igniting again my passion for landscape, 5yrs of wedding photography and now going back to my roots. The story telling of the video keeps me from this addictive landscape scenery. Btw, silent fan here years ago. Great video as always keep it up!
Cracking video, man. Really love the square crop. Heading to Isle of Skye on Thursday. Set the camera in square and will focus much more on it this weekend thanks to you 🤛🤛
What a lovely spot to camp overnight!! Can't beat the beach at any time! And to grind your own coffee beans in the morning was quite impressive! Lovely photos & yes... always best to not push it if you know you've captured the best images on your trip!
Hey! I'm the viewer who made the bag, and it's great to hear the concept of the bag resonates with other photographers. Thomas is using a prototype I sent him a while ago, but I've since started selling them. Feel free to reach out! :)
Great video Thomas. No use flogging a dead horse hey. Glad you got those first shots. There's a beautiful subtlety to the colours and a wonderful composition. Cheers from Australia.
Hello Thomas. You made my day when you included the rock formation in one of you shots. My first thought when you walked down their was wow what beautiful metamorphic flow banding, I hope he photographs it. And then you did! That made my day. (to be transparent my university education is geology so rocks make me happy). I've subscribed to your channel since before the f4 road trip days. Yes I purchased it. As always your content is fun with beautiful photos, and instructive for us amateur photographers. Thanks Thomas.
It's a lovely walk out to that Beach. I camped at what could be the exact same spot about 10 years ago! Had the beach to ourselves. Managed to forget all the cooking stuff. Fortunately had a portable BBQ. Cooking Baked Beans in the tin on a BBQ is not ideal!
Great captures! I totally get the "not feeling it" while shooting. Sometimes it just best to pack it away and save it for another day. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Brilliant. Great pictures and fantastic to see you happy again - happy enough to not pressure yourself into taking more when you don't need to. Jelous you got to camp there 👍🏽
Havent gotten to shoot anything in ages but my wife and i are child free in Barcelona this weekend. Very different environment but i'm watching Thomas to get the old muscles warmed up again before we head out.

Ah, yeah dude. I was surprised you were the only photographer I saw on the trail. It was nice to meet you (briefly).
im so glad there is a Thomas Heaton on RUclips its like a little meditation in my week
Went there in 1996 on a very stormy day in February having climbed Suilven the day before East to West traverse - it was wild - foam everywhere rolling over the beaches - one of the best low level walks I have done without getting too wet.
same here! 😃
Same here!
🌱❤️
great to hear!! Although all of my panting can't be too relaxing :)
Classic Heaton. Thanks for taking us camping with you.
I was about to say that, thank you, Thomas.
yes, especially for those of us who are not currently in a position to walk 4 miles with gear and camp at a lovely beach....hope it helps the head.
🌱❤️

I loved the "clean and minimal" and appreciated your effort to capture such.
In addition to the great images, this was such a peaceful video.

I loved the photographs from this vid and the last video. Such beautiful locations.
This was a pleasure to watch, Tom.
Camping is therapy.
When I subscribed to Thomas's channel, he only had 50,000 subscribers. Now he has over 500,000 subscribers. I will subscribe to your calendar next year. Good luck.
That shot at 9:41 is just awesome. Thanks for bringing us along!
Love that feeling of serenity when being close to the sea. Lovely images today Tom, and definitely had a vibe of your earlier camping videos
That's nice! That's stunning. The interweaving curves.
Been your subscriber since the Dawn of Heaton. The vibe of this video reminds me so much of the old days. Those early videos that got me so inspired way back then. I have lost my way since, but this video has rekindled my interest to create new adventures with camping and photography.🤗

I won't be able to get that out of my Head! ....since the Dawn of Heaton...
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Love the seaside. Thank you for sharing.
More photography camping videos please. Back to the old times. Great images!
So tempted to do a chunk of the Cape Wrath trail after watching this. The square crop (9:40) was the perfect choice, imo.
It's a brilliant walk. Did it in 88.
Thanks a lot, I enjoyed the square too. One day, I'd love to do the Cape Wrath trail.
A night sleeping at a beautiful beach is a bit of heaven on earth. Wonderful images as always, Thomas 🙌🙌
Camping- lots of fun, remote beach- can't beat it, and then photography also. Sounds like a short but epic trip.
Beautiful again Thomas. Keep it up. Ive been a fan of yours for years now.
The sheer calm and serenity your videography gives me has benefitted my mental health immensely.

A good one I've learned for layering when outside: "be bold, start cold!"...
I really enjoyed this camping/photography adventure! I turn 75 next month and my family frowns on me doing solo camping for photography! But, I won’t let that stop me! Thanks for taking me along!
I look forward to your videos every week and you never disappoint and I always learn something new each time, so thank you :)
Beautiful Blue Hour shot!
That's a thumbs up from me.... For very enjoyable video.

Another fantastic video to relax to after a hectic busy week. Thank you Thomas. 👍👍
lovely location and image Tom, I've lost the burn for photography recently, but watching this reminds me of what a good day can feel like, thanks :)
Thanks Thomas for sharing! Enjoyed watching this video a lot. Beautiful beach and beautiful compositions. Maybe you want to do more of these glamping videos, don‘t you?
Really appreciate the before and after images you have added to the videos, it really helps to visualize things.
Always a good simple video. Always enjoy watching you work and making your images
I enjoyed the video as usual Thomas.
Wow what a fantastic spot to camp and photograph that amazing beach.
You captured some really nice image's as usual.
Catch you on the next one.

I love it when you go camping like this. I am a bit old for this style of camping now but it brings back fabulous memories. 💕
If that was me I'd walk all that way, set up the tent and then think "did I lock the van?" 🤣
haha, yes, I often have those thoughts.
Thomas Amazing photos as always.. And Great choice of music man!! I feel happy and relaxed after watching and listening to your videos.
Great video Thomas.
The camping looked great.
The shots were great.
Well done.
Very enjoyable video. It's a beautiful bay, that one. My wife and I walked there in the pi**ing rain and were thoroughly soaked within minutes of starting the walk. But the vista was worth it.
What a beautiful setting. Peaceful
Nice to see you out camping, really nice location all by yourself. Great photographs.
Gorgeous video. I love the colors you captured in these images. Definitely worth the effort.
I love this; felt like a throwback to the early vids I loved from you, Thomas. Hiking/camping vlogs made by a photographer. This felt peaceful, and relateable.

I just loved the texture in those rocks. Glad you included them in a comp. Thanks for the video.
I really liked this video. I love camping
Great video Tom as always, The image with the inclusion of the rocks was my favourite of the two. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
You are living in your best life, Thomas. Love the video and the photos ;)
Beautiful spot you found. Beautiful images too
The kind of video I like the most, camping photography trip :D
Very chilled video, would so love to do that but glad you got to take us along on your adventure. Great shots, well done
What beautiful photos. Bravo Thomas🧿
I did very much enjoy that video! 😀
Such a great place!
Beautiful images. Great video. Fantastic to see you back in your happy place.
Nice work, mate. Simple and clean all around.
You are an amazing teacher.
Love this video with beautiful images!
What a lovely spot to camp overnight!! Can't beat the beach at any time! And to grind your own coffee beans in the morning was quite impressive! Lovely photos & yes... always best to not push it if you know you've captured the best images on your trip!
#1 is a gorgeous shot
Camping and photography, exactly what I like - awesome, great video!
Confrontations to this great image !
Thomas….;your videos are inspirational, not matter the photos obtained or not. Keep on doing you.
You have a lot of will power walking out that distance. I admire your composition and the way you explain things.
Like always, an enjoyable episode…
Nice work!
Tom's back awesome pics mate 🙌👌🇦🇺
Nicely done Thomas
Great photos 🙂
That chest pouch looks like it might be a good upgrade from my current hefty bum bag. Nice video
Hey! I'm the viewer who made the bag, and it's great to hear the concept of the bag resonates with other photographers. Thomas is using a prototype I sent him a while ago, but I've since started selling them. Feel free to reach out! :)
the second image has some kind of magic to me, very tranquil and beautiful
Great video Thomas. No use flogging a dead horse hey. Glad you got those first shots. There's a beautiful subtlety to the colours and a wonderful composition. Cheers from Australia.

Hello Thomas, this is one of your best videos ever. I really like the image and the composition. Great Britain: 12 points from Germany.
Tom, another “Well Done” . Enjoyed the camping aspect also. Enjoyed it.
It's a lovely walk out to that Beach. I camped at what could be the exact same spot about 10 years ago! Had the beach to ourselves. Managed to forget all the cooking stuff. Fortunately had a portable BBQ. Cooking Baked Beans in the tin on a BBQ is not ideal!

I would love to make that same little expedition. The campsite was perfect. Lovely scenery.
enjoyed this one, good to see you out camping again
Great captures! I totally get the "not feeling it" while shooting. Sometimes it just best to pack it away and save it for another day. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Nice video tom! And some lovely images 👍
Enjoyed the video, great photos.
Really enjoyed this one Tom! The sparkle was back in the eyes.
Good to see you working on quality and not quantity. Good job mate!
Brilliant.
Great pictures and fantastic to see you happy again - happy enough to not pressure yourself into taking more when you don't need to.
Jelous you got to camp there 👍🏽
Love the "S" curve! Congratulations on the rehab of the knees!
Anyone can do it hard, but a great outdoors person can achieve the same goal and do it with ease and comfort.
As good as always!
Havent gotten to shoot anything in ages but my wife and i are child free in Barcelona this weekend. Very different environment but i'm watching Thomas to get the old muscles warmed up again before we head out.
