Great video Thomas! You totally downplayed our fear of the metal hummingbird, it was totally homemade with zero security implemented! Haha. What a journey! I’ll get my video out in a week or two! See you on the next adventure!
Thanks for taking me along. I find rain forests one of the most enchanting places to visit. Not sure if I could live there. But I hope we can find a way to preserve this environment for my grandchildren.
Nice one! Been there a few times, the cloud forest either side of the Andes is definitely something special. I do think you missed out on so much though, the insect macro opportunities there are off the scale. But then you haven't had much outdoor macro practice, totally addictive in the tropics! The birding can be fabulous but takes a lot of practice and experience.
I kept hopng the cable car's "wings" would flap!! What a wonderful adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Oh, and your accommodation is like something out of Lord of the Rings! Gorgeous.
Congratulations on visiting this wonderful place, on which landscape photography is not likely spend. Wildlife is abundantly present, and seems to ask for a different approach. Hummingbirds, being the diamonds in the sky, need to be seen from the same angle as the lightsource, in order to let their special colours stand out, not as you both did, from the shade. They are very approachable and not scared of you, as you're movements are way to slow. But the pictures you've taken, with such a high image quality, are stil stunning. Thanks for the post Thomas, I hope you've enjoyed 🙂
What a fantastic adventure, Thomas. I loved the toucan picture and the waterfall. I have photographed birds for the last several years so I know a bit about what you were experiencing with the foliage and the lighting. Last year I concentrated on hummingbirds and I kind of got my fill of them. This year I haven't tried to attract them with a feeder but I do have out some of their favorite flowers. That last cablecar "hummingbird" was enough to give you pause, wasn't it. I can empathize with that. About the accommodations: one night couldn't possible be enough. Glad you gave us a tour of that, too.
Been a subscriber for almost probably 6 or 7 yrs now. Kinda got out of photography the past 4 or so. Coming back to your channel, it's insane how much better your videos are. And your photography has just gotten even more amazing.
In the hills of Appalachia we calls those bridges swinging bridges. I'm sure you figured out why they are called that, lol. Beautiful images of the birds and the waterfall.
Hi Thomas. I'm following you for several years now. I'm a Belgian who has been living in Ecuador for 32 years now, because I fell in love with the nature beauty and richness of this country. I'm very glad that you came visit Ecuador and that you enjoyed it. I hope that this will motive more photographers to write the name of Ecuador on their bucket list. This country is little-known in the world of landscape photographers and it's really a pity. The potential for creating beautiful images here is infinite. Welcome and has always a great video and amazing photos. Congrats I love what you do.
@@JonasPaurellUnscripted Hi Jonas. Great news. I didn’t know you were living in Ecuador. Welcome also and it will be a pleasure to meet with you. Maybe we can have a coffee and chat about the beautiful places in the country
Loved the video, I can tell how much excitement and appreciation this day brought to you Tom. That fear in your face realizing you have to take the hummingbird to get back is priceless.
Such a fun video to watch. Your accommodations - amazing! What a view to wake up to. Loved the hummingbird images. That was quite a way to end your day - on a hummingbird ride.
Muy bien Thomas!! I always love your videos! This was so much fun! I love seeing you in such a different environment! I would love to see you head to Central America (Panama, Costa Rica or Belize) where some of my family lives next!!
When I saw thumbnail and title, I went nuts! Always wanted to see a master like you photographing a rainforest. I live in Rio de Janeiro and strugle to capture the beauty in the caotic scenery and lighting conditions it brings. Actually, you should come here some day! We have beaches, rainforest and mountains (and wildlife). All in one place!! It would make a fantastic photography trip!
I was smiling all through this video! Just wonderful! Especially the end (and the hummingbirds). Omg if I were your wife I’d be very jealous! I think you need to go again with her! 😀
What great timing , this video! I’m heading to Ecuador next week and you have solved some photography problems I have been wracking my brain about! Thanks!!
I am from Belgium and living for 32 years now in Ecuador. Trekking, hiking, photographing and crawling all over the country. I've never ever had any problem.
Pretty please.... more bird photography! 🐦😀 Particularly since this spot is so amazing for birds & wildlife!! I would love to visit there but it's so off my travel list... but I love seeing what you are seeing!! ~ Karen
Epic end to your circle route! Fantastic photos too. With all your wildlife adventures I started wondering if you will you upgrade your cute little lens for more reach? 😂 But seriously, I appreciate you using what you have. Miners would repurpose old vehicles to fill a need. It's cool seeing the car repurposed for the ride back.
no snow and no cold weather this is extremely unusual for you channel and I love that…. put you in places out of your comfort zone and you still can produce fantastic images.
Looking at your outdoor spa bath, all I can think of as an Aussie that lives with bush all around is you'd be sharing it with some massive spiders! 🤣 Thankfully, your wildlife encounters looked much more enjoyable 😁 You've been absolutely killing it as a wildlife photographer...love it!
I know that I might be a little bit biased because my dad is Ecuadorean but I love our trips down there from Canada and it’s only been since I’ve gotten older that I’ve been able to go and explore the country a little bit more because when I was younger, it was all about Visiting our very large family. Now I split the trip in half and visit family and then mini adventures but unfortunately, it’s a little harder now that I have a spinal injury 😔. A bucket list item is still the Galapagos islands!
Great to see you outside of the usual places, I see you had a great time, especially when riding the Hummingbird or "Colibri" as it is called in Spanish or "Tucusito" as it is called in Venezuela, down back to the car!
I really like the photo at 13:36; it's bringing back some memories of my visit to Ecuador in 2016. I idiotically drank water -- without filtering nor treating it -- from a small waterfall I was photographing in Mindo. It was very similar to the one you shot. I ultimately paid the price with a prescription of antibiotics and haven't made that mistake since, lol.
Wow! Great Video! 👍🏻what a place to stay and fantastic images of the birds and the waterfall and as you said an awsome end to the video with great drone footage. Looking forward to the next one as always.
@@santiagomaldonado510 he wasn't referring to Ecuador. The last few videos he's posted, he has been in a different country each time. He was being sarcastic about how he's never home.

The confidence of Jonas in the end and slight panic of Thomas was incredible
Wonderful. If Simon d'Entremont was watching I bet he was saying "I knew you can do it"!
I feel that if I stood at a coffee shop in an airport that I'd eventually run into Thomas. What a great year!
Great video Thomas! You totally downplayed our fear of the metal hummingbird, it was totally homemade with zero security implemented! Haha. What a journey! I’ll get my video out in a week or two! See you on the next adventure!
Haha. The flying death trap!
@@ThomasHeatonPhoto ohhh yes the final scene was indeed a flying death trap... what an adventure Ecuador must be!
Very stunning pics of those hummingbirds. I love Ecuador. I have traveled the Río Napo Yasuní region and it was amazing. Cheers.
It's great watching Indiana Heaton on his adventures 😄 Love it!
Hahah. My new name!
Amazing footage. You should visit northen Finland with me and photograph the Aurora's
I enjoyed your video. Thank you
Thomas doing wildlife photography is everything I've ever dreamed about! Love every time you do!!
Thanks for taking me along. I find rain forests one of the most enchanting places to visit. Not sure if I could live there. But I hope we can find a way to preserve this environment for my grandchildren.

3:27 stunning pose and colours, 7:34 spectacular sharp focus, 13:45 beautiful depth and colour, love the flying fox at the end
Thank you very much, but I don't think it was a fox 😂 scary has hell though.

Haha, they are certainly not draw bridges.
Looking like you have been converted Thomas.
Must have been from the time spent with Simon.
Fantastic location, thanks for sharing.
Hello Thomas, quite surprising adventures, very well told with your small film camera. I like the photo's. Bert.
Wauv, just wauv. What an adventure. It shows that a locked door often can lead to other unexpected adventures. Just keep exploring

It was amazing, a really fun activity. Warm greetings from Bogor, West Java, Indonesia.
I had a daft grin on my face because of the daft grin on yours. Magic!
Good for you Thomas, glad you went out of your comfort zone... enjoy and be safe...
Loved the video, I can tell how much excitement and appreciation this day brought to you Tom. That fear in your face realizing you have to take the hummingbird to get back is priceless.
Has to be the most enjoyable video I’ve seen of yours. Really, really good fantastic photographs of those birds too.
Hummingbirds are amazing things to see in flight, loved that capture. The waterfall was excellent and love it. Tough gig this! More please 👍👏
Beautiful bird images and yeah, what a way to end the day. How cool!!
Such a fun video to watch. Your accommodations - amazing! What a view to wake up to. Loved the hummingbird images. That was quite a way to end your day - on a hummingbird ride.
Very happy that you are in my country! Enjoy it since it have many places that are very good for photography! Greetings from Toronto!
So glad you discovered bird photography it a different challenge & will take you to many beautiful rainforests & mountain terrain.
Another accomplishment achieved! Thank you Thomas.

As a hybrid photographer myself (landscape/wildlife) it is great to see you getting into wildlife!
I was smiling all through this video! Just wonderful! Especially the end (and the hummingbirds). Omg if I were your wife I’d be very jealous! I think you need to go again with her! 😀
Quite an adventure! Watching hummingbirds at the feeders on my porch is a way I often spend time.
Thanks!
So, I am only now figuring out how to filter and see these Thanks, so thank you for the donation. I genuinely appreciate it. Sorry for my late reply!
Jonas is one of the best instructors on RUclips . Wishing him much success .
That was very cool! Great scenery. And not many people can say they rode a giant hummingbird in the rainforest of Ecuador.
What great timing , this video! I’m heading to Ecuador next week and you have solved some photography problems I have been wracking my brain about! Thanks!!
Great video, brought back memories. It is a wonderful part of the world.
love all the adventuring and travelling you're doing and that we all get to go with you. sort of. you're just fab. 👏🏼
Great video Tom. Like a non stop eveent. Great images,super you are definitely having a good tiime. Thanks for taking us along.
I love the variety you have added to your videos! The hummingbird shot was perfect! Thanks for taking me along!
Wow Ecuador! That’s one of the most dangerous countries in South America. Looks like you enjoyed yourself. Great images. Be careful.
I am from Belgium and living for 32 years now in Ecuador. Trekking, hiking, photographing and crawling all over the country. I've never ever had any problem.
Amazing video, Thomas. The waterfall photo is so good.
Cool adventure Thomas, loved the waterfall photo
Hi Tom this is one of your Awesome trip!! Loved it ‼️
Brill video. The mix of site seeing and photography is just right.
Great story telling and great photography ! I love your adventures.
I feel like I'm on holiday, thank you. Inspired me to pop outside and do some photography after work.
Perfect, that's all I want to hear. Hope you got/get some shots 👍
Fantastic video, and loved seeing your excitement for something so new a different. You were all smiles. Fun to watch. Watch a great trip!
Super video! A trip I'd never do! Enjoy watching! Primo! All the best! E Q U A D OR !
Just brilliant, Thomas. Almost, but not quite, makes me want to go birding ;-)
oh wow, what an epic adventure. Thank you for taking you along.
That cable car! Your reaction! Priceless!😂😂😂😂
That hummingbird at the end was awesome, quite a clever method of transportation.
Your enthusiasm for anything and everything is perfect.
Outstanding ❤❤❤
The Ecuadorian Cloud forest is a very special place. It definitely needs protecting...
Pretty please.... more bird photography! 🐦😀 Particularly since this spot is so amazing for birds & wildlife!! I would love to visit there but it's so off my travel list... but I love seeing what you are seeing!! ~ Karen

Aren't you glad you got the Z8? 🙂
The first shot of the Toucan is just WOW. And the videos of the birds are excellent.
Wow - some very unique experiences there.

This is next level adventure photography. Great video🔥🔥🔥
Great humming bird photos.
Incredible video! This video is one for your portfolio!
Loved the video, loved the rainforest. You have to go to Costa Rica, but it's definitely challenging.
Amazing video, lot of fun and awesome photos 👏🏻👏🏻
woow this was realy nice👍
Fun trip! I think I would like to visit there.
Thank you Thomas!
Liking the rain forest series. You should do more jungle photography.
Great to see you outside of the usual places, I see you had a great time, especially when riding the Hummingbird or "Colibri" as it is called in Spanish or "Tucusito" as it is called in Venezuela, down back to the car!
Unbelievable! You aced this one. Birds, waterfalls tropical forests, and bizarre hummingbird ride. Your amazing…
Wow, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Something a little different from me.
Fantastic presentation, thx
Wow Tom what a great place!
I guess now you know what “woodland photography” is like in the rainforest hahahah! Awesome ending, beautiful photo of the cascade!

Wow!
Tom have you been home more than 5 mins in the past month? Blink twice if you’ve been kidnapped lol
I was just wondering that
pbbb rubbish... if you know how to travel in Ecuador is super safe. Shit comment
i think u missed the joke@@santiagomaldonado510

Great to see you survived. I definitely wouldn’t have travelled in the hummingbird!
That humming bird photo is incredible
That gondola ride at the end was cool!
Fantastic video and shots
your eyes are so wide open you look so amazed like you are at the plaless
LOL WOW that final leg of the trail.. epic!
That was a fun way to end the video Thomas and lovely captures of the toucan and the humming bird too.
