You can endlessly look at three things: fire, water and how Thomas catches photographs

The birds nest shot is so painterly, nature being the painter - with a touch of klimt flicking flecks of gold

The moment you realise Thomas is actually lugging 2 tripods+camera around with him in order to shoot this video

New or different gear sings a siren song to many of us. But, no matter how good you are, it takes a lot of time to really know, know it instinctively, know what it will do. Rolling back to your tried and true gear, the gear melts into the background allowing you to put all your cycles into finding, composing, and capturing wonderful images. Glad to see you so happy with this shoot Thomas.

Thomas, we love you. You are an inspiration for me. You and Peter McKinnon are the two youtuber who got me in photography 3 years ago. I like that you are negative sometimes. With social media, people will create a "perfect" caracter (eats well, do exercise, always happy), but you dont do that. That make you relatable and genuine. Sometimes, thing's dont line up! Very happy to watch your video's, and dont let negative people change you!

The square image, with a bird nest in the mist is simply stunning. I actually think that one is one the best I have recently seen in your videos Tom 👏🔥👌

Alister Benn was absolutely spot-on today when he said you were professional, productive and high quality in both the your images and your videos. You are also honest in talking about your ups and downs, loss of creative drive and uncertainties from which we all suffer. I must tell you that as a mentor and photographer you and your videos (and Alister to be fair to him too) have given me renewed confidence. So a big thank you from me. Got the book (the images are superb) and the calendar!

5D mark IV always makes your photography better, I don't know why.

Best of the year! The birds nest! WOW!!!

This is what I love about your videos, Tom. No outrageous camera, just you and your 5D MIKIV. Great.

Shooting in the rain is a gift for the photographer who shoots a landscape with trees! Great release, Tom! In the USSR, when I started shooting the landscape, the hood was called protyvorossnik (against dew)! Forgetting her / him in the rain is really not worth it!

Doggies make everything better, even a day out in the rain!

Thomas, you probably don't realise this, but I think you are healing hundreds of minds by presenting these fabulous videos. Your images are beautiful, your ability to communicate what you see and the way it makes you feel comes straight out through our screens; for me as a viewer and photography enthusiast, it's a therapy that relaxes and inspires me all in one go. Thank you very much for what you do.

After being really stressed out this whole day over school and stuff, this video was so beautifully calming and peaceful. I really needed this, thank you!

Thomas, stay safe. We are hearing such terrible news about the UK. I learn so much every time I watch you compose a shot! All the best to you and your family. 🙏

Simplicity and form. Astonishing what a man with vision can do with a camera. Most of wouldn't dream of heading out at that hour in inclement weather. Thanks Thomas for braving the rain and inspiring all to SEE.

photography and artistic approach circulates in your blood cells... stunning photographs

its awesome when you have an epiphany from a video like this. I spent a month in Iceland shooting photos (from Australia) and have never spent that much time in wet weather/rainy conditions and i tried everything i could think of to keep my lens clean and free of rain, and then i see you use the lens hood... OMFG how could i not have thought of something so simple.

Thanks for bring us along once again Thomas. That woman and her dog was priceless!

Sure can't go wrong with the Camera and lens combo, one of the best available, imo, lets hear it for the trees 🌳🌲🌳🌲 😉👍👍

Fairytale autumn stills!

This video offers prime evidence of why photography is a lifelong pursuit and learning experience. How many mountains have you climbed, forest paths have you tread, sunrises and sunsets have you chased for light? Countless adventures. And yet on this rainy, misty day you share the realization that having the camera and tripod on your shoulder can make a difference. Love it.

Such a joy. Visiting you in the rain while living in the Arab desert. Can really smell the autumn mood :-)

This is like photography therapy...thanks Tom

I LOVE that bird nest shot!

Really enjoyed the simplicity and relaxed atmosphere of this video, one of the most enjoyable and informative videos I watched in a long time!

The bird's nest picture was my favorite 👌

Can someone summarize why people are bitching about premiering videos? Aside from that, thanks for taking us along with you through the forests Thomas!

Agreed about top tip of keeping camera on tripod with legs extended. Been doing that for a while now and it really reduces reluctance to frame a photo.

Always a treat, watching you work. Thank you.

Another corker. Love the two trunks and autumn tree very nice

Yet again this post us full of fabulous photos and great ideas. I love your book and just am constantly blown away with your compositional skills. I like posts like this the most rather than your film posts. It is spring here so no fog for six months. I have to remember all your tips. 💕🤓

The best tool is the one you know and master, the rest is advertising, keep on using the mark IV if it’s the one that gets the job done

I almost cannot believe how long I have been with the channel. I started back to watch some of your originals but I didn't realize those same first videos were the ones I started out on this channel. I just assumed I was watching a big time photographer and there were first videos I never got to see. it has been 5 years. 'Scotland in a vw camper van' video think is the first video I can truly remember coming out that I wanted. I know I was aware of your channel before then, but I don't know by how much. I still remember watching those first few videos I cannot remember which but I recognize the 'landscape photography on location' title and being one of the first videos I saw. I just am in aw at the years as they have gone by. with your constant ability to go get these shots you have hundreds of amazing shots... in the 4 years I have had a camera, I have a handful of great images and 1 or 2 I would even put up against your photos! I am only doing this as a hobby. but I definitely love this channel, and its weird to think you were not a big time super star when I first discovered the channel. I just wish I had the ND filters you do!!

Tom, I think that one thing you needed was to literally find your happy place. Using your trusty Canon 5DMIV which is the camera that I believe you’ve done some of not all of your best work the last few years. Your in an area around home and you caught a good day. All the stars aligned for you. Great to see you happy about your work.

These photographs are stunning!

Awesome Tom! I'm so glad that you brought your lens hood! Wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing!

Great images, love the one with the birds nest ... thank you for the video.

Seems like the best way to get the shot you want, as well as an optimistic video, is to leave the Hasselblads, Panorama camera, various film camers at home on your shelf, and use the equipment you know and trust. You are a great photographer, we need to see great photographs from you.

Thomas, you make it look so easy, well done.

A tip worthwhile. Keep your camera ready while walking around. And it helps to get a Peak Design Capture Plate or similar offerings.

Love the image with the bird’s nest! Watching your videos always motivates me to go out in any weather :)

This video was positively therapeutic, from the soft, misty scenery to the accompanying music. Beautifully done. I was intrigued with the moss covered rock wall mid-way through the video. I probably would have missed the forest and the trees and gotten "stuck" photographing that wall from every conceivable angle. Also, I always take it as a blessing when a doggo comes up to say hi. It's a sign that you are in a good space and that the dog senses that. The overall feeling that this video conveyed was simply wonderful and much appreciated in this difficult time we are all experiencing.

Hi Thomas. I randomly stumbled across your content while searching for a combination of camping, hiking, and general love of the outdoors combined with photography. I'm passionate about both and your videos have really inspired me to take charge and make this happen. Thank you!

Good movie always a pleasure to watch.

Miracle photos, beautiful forest and interesting video. :) Thanks Thomas.

Thanks for all your SUPERB tutorials.

Good LUCK, Tom!!! The great fantastic Job. Got Bless

Being negative about your work at times is an honest component of the creative process. For myself it occurs when I feel I’ve been plateaued for a while. Be critical of yourself. Be negative if it requires it. Be whatever it needs to be to reach the next level. Art isn’t meant to be comfortable to make. Every painting I’ve ever finished has a stage where I want to throw it away. My goal creatively is to always be content but not complacent.

Thanks for that super tip on taking a shot of your hand at the end of a series for a panorama. Started attempting panoramas recently and have the experience where I started and stopped confusion.

you made Lovely autumn videos this season! Keep on going!

Tom, I am so pleased to see you out taking images and talking about setup and not film cameras and their shortfalls. Nice job and welcome back.

Thomas, as always, you manage to show both the subtle and grandiose beauty of every corner of your world. It's a pleasure to watch you create, learn from you, and feel a little less trapped by lockdowns thanks to your creative. It's always a pleasure to watch, thank you

Four lovely images from Thomas. Thanks so much for standing in the rain while I watched from the comfort of my living room.

Thank you so much for this video (and your others). This really provided me an "A-HA" moment related to why my compositions don't work sometimes and of not giving up on something when I know it's there, but it's just not working that day.

Thomas, Much respect to you sticking it out in the rain when you could have easily just got the shot and made the rest of the video explaining "it was raining so I rushed to get the shot and now im back at the computer" ....There is nothing wrong with doing that BUT.....you didn't and I just wanted to say thanks. GREAT SHOTS!

It's good to have the old Canon DSLR gear in reserve! :-) It's wet, It's cold, It's foggy- and the images are great!

I agree with tour last statement about rain and atmosphere, they are far underrated and amazing conditions!

Thank you, Thomas.

It's frustrating waiting to watch a premier but there's so much good content in past videos you can only really complain if you've watched them all.

In lockdown I spent many days in our local park. I watched the spring come ( in AU) and returned again and again to the same locations. In really forced me to look again at opportunities and to slow down and wait. Thanks for your inspiring videos

Beautiful! One of your best video till now

thanks to the lock down i noticed Kingfishers making a nest on an island in my little pond so as a result i learned alot from them the past spring and summer.

Thomas - Fantastic as always.

Thomas, your channel is like a cup of warm tea after a hectic day that is the rest of KZfaq. I am not a landscape photographer (more portraits and real estate), but I still find a lot of value in your content and very much appreciate your presentation style. Thank you!

Great shots Thomas, look forward to seeing more of your work

Excellent video Thomas. Gorgeous photos.

I would definitely recommend the book. It’s fantastic!!!

Thank you for another inspirational video. Massive fan of your work Tom 👍

I enjoyed this very much. A classic, took me back to your early videos, I don’t know why just had a feeling from way back. Lovely photography as always.

Great video Thomas with some fantastic images. I found it a really enjoyable and relaxing watch with some great compositions and results. Back to your best.

Very nice photos from this outing Thomas. 👍

Beautiful autumn colours and atmosphere, love the saturation the rain provides 🍂🍁🤩

whatching you doing your compositions and seeing the world threw your eyes is like meditation and Inspiration. I`m doing Landscapephotography as a hobby and just for grounding myself and focusing the details and the simplicity in live (sorry for my english, i hope you understand what i`m struggeling to say.) Thanks for every moment you share with us.

On a photo walk I always go with just a camera and a single lens. Unless I'm going in order to get a specific photo. Lets you improvise and take novel photos, and the camera is easily accessible.

Where you are is paradise for a photographer, no unpleasant people, no bears, no puma to confront and no dangerous snakes to trip over, just picturesque views.

The joy of shooting on your 5D4 is so apparent in this, its like that perfect pair of slippers eh.....

Great video and photographs, they captured the mood of the day really well 👍🏻 The birds nest image was well spotted.

The image at 9:20 is incredible!

Calm down, you can fix the diverging trees in Lightroom with the keystone tool and get them perfectly parallel - even have them to converge. What more can you ask for?

this is a masterpiece

Four cracking images , well done .

Lovely photos at 3:15 and 6:55 ❤

Yesssss mate some positivity I love it.

A nice return to form IMHO, thanks Thomas. You seemed today to be much freer to think about the image and the scene, instead of the camera and its demands. cheers

Excellent composition,thank you

Especially in these challenging times, it's nice to know you can always come back to your channel for a relaxing time and good photography. 👍

Happy! At last!

I'm really really liking the photos. Not going to lie when I first stumbled across your videos, I wasn't sure if I was into the style of photos (as is art and all that). But now I just think they are fantastic!

Mr Heaton, You missed a photo I wish to recommend, you walking down the path in your video, freez print, capture one resize, your walking head turned to the left, the trees, the mist the moody woods. Think about it! The one with your back to the camara...use vintage cinematic colors. Great video sir!

Just amazing photography

As always, excellent work!

This channel and Aidin Robbins completely inspire me to get out and take more pictures. I realize that I enjoy creating and editing videos for other people but I love taking pictures for myself.

The mist certainly makes the compositions possible because as you point out it provides the separation that is required in such scenes. Really enjoyable photos.

Ach, I just LOVE the somewhat local photographic expeditions you do. I feel like you have a relationship with those landscapes and conditions that transcends what I see when I look at it. And the photography that comes out of it is just so amazing. I learn so much watching your videos on these little trips. Thanks for posting this!

As soon as I saw the person come in the frame behind you, I thought, oh no! Tom will feel the need to stop talking. hahahah. You did very well. And yes she was lovely. Love the images - you should just "play" like this some more.

Loved this video. It reminded me of another of your videos from a couple of years ago where you were running round full of inspiration taking lots of images on a frosty morning. I think one of your favourite ever images was created that morning. Great stuff. Loved the images in this video. Already looking forward to the next video. Thumbs up

Fantastic conditions and images!

I really love your way of photography...

absolutely loved this episode and enjoyed seeing you chat with the audience in real time was something special... I hope you enjoyed it too.. Bravo !!
