3 Days in the Wilderness for Landscape Photography
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2019
- In this video I do some hiking, camping and landscape photography as I cross a 31 mile section of the PCT in Washington. I walk from White Pass to Chinook Pass with an aditional few miles added on to photograph Sourdough Gap. I manage to capture 5 images, 3 of which I am happy with. Spending a few days in the wilderness was refreshing and really helped with my creative process. It was time well spent and I encourage everybody to get out and hike even a couple of miles with their camera. I hope you enjoy this film.

Loved the "magically self-deploying tent" editing :)
Love these long videos. Gives you so much more of an in-depth look at landscape photography :)
Love watching your videos when I'm feeling kind of down. Its almost therapeutic and definitely inspirational.
Same here! Thank you Thomas.
Thomas Heaton- the man who listens to sights.
My Spooon! My.... Precious 😀
3 years ago-ish, you said one of the most profound statements I ever heard re: photography: "A magnificent view does not necessarily make a great image". This video reminded me of that quote - which, incidentally, completely changed my thinking when traveling and "seeing" things.
And this is why I bought your calendar. To keep you on the trail. I love your work!
you're a good man!
Thanks a lot, James. Without your support, I couldn't do this sort of thing 👍
Couldn’t ask for anything more, these are always the best videos you do. You are by far my favourite youtuber and i don’t think there isn’t a video i don’t watch
he was the first photographer i ever watched on RUclips, and he's still my favorite.
Do you guys know what’s soo special about this RUclips channel, it’s actual substance & adventure!
That's very kind, thank you.
Thomas Heaton Thanks for responding, made my day
I dont mind missing Sundays upload for this long upload today! Love your videos !
i concur!!!
Thanks a lot. I do enjoy making the longer videos. Maybe I will adopt this in the future 👍
One of my most magical evenings was spent on that section of the PCT. No photos but a memory I will always old in my soul.
beautiful!
Idea for you to lighten your pack more: grab yourself a camping tarp, and spend a bit of time learning how to set it up well. The reason I mention it is because I’m in the military, and spent the better part of a week recently under a tarp and I had a great time. I was surprisingly comfortable, adjusting airflow was very easy, and I was able to accessorize and modify the shelter to meet whatever new requirements I wanted. For example, by the end, I had it set up so that one side would open up to vent out during the day, I had a clothesline running right over top of it, holding my pants and my shirt for when I got out of bed, and I had wooden toggles attached so that everything could be very quickly buttoned up and detached without having to tie or untie more knots.
What you’ll need for this:
a camping tarp
A mosquito net
Sleeping pad
Sleeping bag, or blanket
A ground sheet only if the forest floor really bothers you
A bunch of paracord or other cordage. Ideally, the more you have, the better, especially while learning
A big beastly camping knife for carving tent pegs and other woodworking projects (and cutting your cordage)
You may also want a waterproof sleeping bag liner, but your new quilt seems like it should do.
Camping like this is a good learning experience that will help you to be (and feel) more self-confident, builds your competency and will lighten your pack since you won’t have to haul a tent with you.
Agreed, I never once backpacked with a tent. A tarp with my hiking poles or staff was all I ever needed and consistently was drier with that set up than anyone around me in a tent. also if bugs bad a very small net can be hung from the center line of the tarp and fit over upper half of body outside the seeping bag or quilt. No mater how light weight the tent is, this tarp set up will save over half a kilo. maybe a full kilo. Less material, fewer stakes and no poles needed. Also is much more flexible in terms of where you can fit in a place to sleep.
I like your long videos, they are fantastic. Keep more of these coming.
“There’s always the odd one”, good view on life
What an amazing trip. Loving the longer format and the relaxed nature of it all. Now THIS is what I do landscape photography for.
Thomas, I have been a fan of your videos for a long time but these newer extended hike adventure photo trips are by far my absolute favorites. Looking forward to seeing many more!
Stunning location Thomas, beautifully edited video to 👍I really enjoy your extended hiking videos well worth missing your Sunday video for,That pano image you captured is stunning!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all 👍
"It's raining, it's (BOOGIE)." Welcome to the Cascades! Glad you made the trek!
I like how your content remains focused on photography and has not turned into ads about a particular brand. So refreshing. That being said, I think comments about how a piece of gear worked for you is valuable. The focus is still photography, Thanks Thomas.
Love the mountains, hiking and photography. This had it all! TY!
Thomas, what an absolute treasure this series has been! It doesn't hurt that I was born and raised on both sides of the Cascades in Washington and hiked some of these same trails with my father and brothers. Such memories! We didn't have single serving spam though. had to carry the whole damn can. ;-) Didn't filter our water either. Just drank straight out of the creeks. Good old days, eh?
I have to say I thoroughly enjoy the way you depict setting up your tent 😀!
What, you mean my new Pop Up tent? 😂
Thank you for that calm and beautiful video. Very much enjoy the longer videos.
In a world that time flyes and everyone is running and gunning it is relaxing to watch you hiking and enjoying yourself.
Bought the calendar already. Love the fact that there aren't a million obnoxious ads in your videos, just nature and good photography (and squarespace, which isn't intrusive). If buying a calendar a year keeps it this way, I'm all for it.
So cool to see you in my home state. Mt Rainer is so beautiful. Glad you could see the Beautiful state of Washington!
Just got back from a 2 month trip to Washington state, Mt Rainier stole my heart. Amazing area and decided to move there in a couple of months. Your video captures the essence of the wilderness in this area. Thank you for making it.
i love how real you are. it's a genuine, nice quality to have. you're great. love your videos. thank you for them.
You will love having a camping quilt. I love mine. It is so much more comfortable and versatile than a sleeping bag.
Absolutely fantastic. Love this Thomas. Super inspirational.
An example of what brought me to your channel. Amazing shots too, as always. Thank you. 👍👍👍👍
Your campout videos have always been my favorite. I was so excited to see your recent few in my State. Cheers, Washington is magical for outdoor enthusiasts and sightseers.
That first image is beautiful, I love the blues.
Love these longer videos! Perfect excuse to sit and chill with a cuppa while the wee one has his nap 💕
A wonderful adventure. A great follow up to receiving your calendar.
I’ve been waiting for this feature length trek! Just going to brew up first ☕️
the SPAM can in a wrap was a 'lil off-putting haha
ill take one with cream and sugar please
Living the dream. Glad to see you've sorted the condensation issue. Tent setup look much better
Fantastic hike, scenery and photography. That’s what it’s all about 👍🏻
Simply awesome 📷✊️
Thanks for bringing us along!
these are the videos that remind me as to why i enjoy your channel the most. you were the first photographer i subbed too a while back, you're still number one in my eyes brother.
i have no problem waiting for a week or so to watch something beautiful as this.. fantastic .. feels like watching a wilderness movie or travel blog. keep going .. on words and upwards.
You are so calming to watch. 41-minutes of relaxation.
40 minutes pass quickly when it is your video I'm watching. Canada has some nice trails too.Makes me want to experience them for myself. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I love these last few videos, Thomas. Makes me want to leave work tomorrow and experience this for myself. Great combination of learning, inspiration and humor! Thanks!
I'm so jealous, the pct has been on my bucket list for a long time now. Thanks the great taste of it!
Beautiful nature and beautiful photos. bravo Thomas.
One of my favorite of your videos this year ...
Tom. A true inspiration you are. Thanks for the fun!
Just received my calendar, super stoked at the quick arrival half way round the world, Thanks
This is the type of photo content i was looking for, not those behind the desk but with a backpack and mood inside it, trail and self confidence. Inspiring otherwords.
I truly miss these kind of videos Tom. It's a beautiful reminder why I started watching your videos in the first place. Thanks for sharing man. Really appreciate it.
Been on that part of PCT. So enjoyed it. Your vlog captures the essence and the images are wonderful. Thanks Thomas.
While i was watching your video the calendar got delivered. It's so beautiful.
I love all of your videos and they motivated me several times to go out and shoot when i didn't want initially.
Keep up the good work and i hope you keep your love for photography forever.
Cheers
So enjoyed you vlog Thomas. The pano, to me is the best. You realy are the master of panos’s. Thank you Squarespace!!!
Just awesome hike and photos... amazing trip video
Great job! I'm about to spend Thur-Sat hiking and shooting. Can't wait. This got me in the right frame of mind.
Well Mr Heaton, for a man of many words (!) , I must say that you have captured some truly magnificent images. The kind that vastly deserve to be printed VERY LARGE. In this time of quarantine, it was nice to see this for the first time - to have a bit of escapism, so thank you for that.
.... NOTE: 1.5 servings is for the hiker who is doing the WHOLE PCT.... hiker hunger gets pretty serious by the time you get to Washington!!!! It would be easy to eat 2.5 servings of nice, warm eggs in the morning to start day 155 of a hike, trust me.....
Great video! Makes me appreciate my home state so much more. Come back in the fall for the color. Clouds guaranteed!
These are for sure your best videos and totally your best.
YES! Thank you for this video, exactly what I was looking for.
It's gonna be another day of sun and shameless blue. (Mark Knopfler) I do like that last pano of Rainier, clear sky notwithstanding!
This is awesome especially now. Traveling without stepping out. Good photos n explanations.
What a great wilderness hike and vlogg.
I love so much your choice for taking photo in blue hour and golden hour
Those bag filters are by far the best option. I'm loving those gob held gropro clips. I need to do some of that.
Yes Thomas I will be watching this later on tonight
Have yourself a fantastic day
I'm watching it now myself. waited for a relaxing moment to enjoy.
You guys are awesome. Hope you enjoy the film.
Loved this extended video every bit as much as the last. Nice images too.
Thanks for this long video Thomas! I really enjoyed it!
I really enjoy these hiking photography videos Thomas, appreciate the effort you go to producing these.
I've had my Feathered Friends sleeping bag over 30 years and it's going strong, so I reckon your quilt was a good investment!!
Really enjoying the longer videos seeingbtge hikes.
Thank you for using the metric system for weight and volume. You should consider switching to the modern, not outdated system, for distance as well.
In the UK, we use both. It's very confusing.
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto And you rarely use Euros for comparison. 😆
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto Same in Canada; both.
Just received your calendar in the mail and --- WOW!!! -- it is INCREDIBLE!! Thanks for making it -- I will enjoy and be inspired by it for all of 2020!!
Glad it arrived safely.
Love it! I've always wanted to hike the PCT or Appalachian Trail
Loved to watch this! Thank you
Great video Thomas! I love the pano at the end. Absolutely beautiful!
Calendar arrived safely today, Cheers Thomas! 🙌🏻
Loved this video Thomas, great job capturing the experience.
As someone who’s a landscape and nature photographer and a backpacker this episode made me very happy. Thank you for it.🙂
I’m planning a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2021 where countless photos will be taken.
Mt Rainier is an awesome place to visit, I loved that area we went last year and it didn't disappoint that whole NP is spectacular, thanks for taking me back Thomas all the way from Perth WA!
The last pano was beautiful!
Great video! What some wonderful views!
That would be a dream journey, Mexico to Canada along the Pacific coast. Superb video yet again Thomas.
Really enjoying the longer format videos. Great work as always, Tom!
And for sure I like your "pièce de résistance"! 😁
Another long form! NICE!
Back in my adventure racing days I bought a Ptarmigan bag from Feathered Friends that likely saved my life in Alaska. So glad to hear they’re still doing well and that they took care of you.
I Have to admire you Thomas for the amount of hiking you do for single shot, absolutely brilliant 👍🏽
To be fair, the hike alone would be worth it without any photography. It surely won't feel like you are just hiking to get a shot. It's more like you experience something amazing and then get some fantastic opportunities for photographs which you don't get anywhere else. =)
Nah, there's not much else to do out there 🖐️
Just found your channel and it’s quickly become one of my favourites.
Staying here in Seattle, I know there are many beautiful places around here. But your vlog gives me a new level of understanding how much I can still explore! Thumbs up!
Got my calendar in the mail today. Thanks Tom! Looks great.
Fabulous stuff Thomas. This is what you do best.
I'm commenting I haven't even watched this yet and I'm super excited and guarantee it will be awesome.
Yes!!!! 40 minutes!!!
Loved that pano at the end. Great video.
Thanks for a wonderful video. I must have missed this. Really enjoyable and interesting and lovely images.
Loved this video, easy to imagine we were there too! Thanks for sharing this magical place Thomas. (drill a small hole in the end of your spoon handle and attach it to something, saves losing it again).
Another great video Thomas. Excellent work.
This is what life is all about!
Yes to wilderness adventures with an umbrella! I never go without one :-)
Yay light weight sleeping bags! They are a back saver, and so cozy. Love feathered friends.
So for my backcountry photo trips I take a Micro 4/3rds camera and 2 or 3 light lenses with an ultralight tripod designed for cell phones and light cameras. I am very interested in what you end up looking at!
You know why I loved this video more than your other hiking posts? Because it was 41 minutes....and I love listening to you talk. It's the accent ;) I always learn something when I watch a video of yours and I am eternally grateful. It was great to see you finally capture something I am familiar with, something I have seen with my own eyes. Glad you came to the states and are sharing your hiking experiences here! Thank you for all the knowledge and inspiration you give me :)
Ton of great compositions along that stretch of trail! Great episode! Come back to Washington when this bug is gone!
