A Photography Roadtrip When it Rains | Small Camper Van 

That second glance you gave us at the 12:30 mark had me LOL’ing!!! Little bit of humor now and then never hurt anyone :)

11:38 made me almost choke on my morning coffee. Top notch

I don’t want to put a time marker on the crude, yet sophisticated, humor. It was perfect! I’m surprised there aren’t more comments.

Love the pano at @13:08. Perfectly suited for that aspect ratio.

I was expecting Adam to come trundling through your first composition underneath the arch of branches. Guess I've been watching Gavin's channel too much. Fabulous images Thomas as always.

"Well hello everybody....." Nice tribute to Adam.

Congratulations Tom! you made it to half a million subscribers! very happy for you. Thank you for your efforts. Look forward to getting to one million. I am convinced that it will happen in some time. Thank you for your efforts.

That one liner with the expression on your face was hilarious. Thanks for not editing it out. Beautiful photos to.

Image 2 is your best work for a while. Absolutely gorgeous

OMG, the double-take at 12:28 made me laugh out loud in a very quiet public place!

Nice drone work ;-) considering the weather you got some really great images, Tom! The pano from the other side of the loch is really nice!

Tom - your videos are food for the soul. That first still image - gorgeous! And that gate scene: pisser! Loved it. 👍🦘😄🇦🇺

The mountains swirl water from their high lochs, It comes down in fraying threads. (Norman MacCaig : Wester Ross, West Sutherland. 1987)

The gate scene 😂 Love the shot of the large tree in the mist.

The word for that weather is dreich. Brilliant as ever.

I went through that same pointless gate and sat under that copse of trees in the summer. It's a lovely 5 mile loop from the road. So many fabulous views. The loch is ringed with water lilies in the summer. Loved these images. I'm waiting for the kids to grow up so I can get out in the autumn months.

All of the shots were worth the misery and effort. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing these images.

I actually liked the b-roll/vlog images from the last picture with that little stream cut into the ground

The gate with no fence , classic lol. Scotch pines are stunning trees , they catch the light beautifully, thanks for sharing.

You pano of the 4 trees was just so amazing and luminous.

loved the image of the scots pine. the deep reddish brown on the wet branches really popped.

Attention to detail, levelling the van. That kind of day is my favourite Scots word...dreich (d..rrrrreek)

The panoramic of the group of trees are my favorite of this video. Simple and a warm fall feel to it.

Oh boy, those pine trees! Just to be beaten by the wonderful pano shot ... More to come

Man, image 2 is fantastic. I love the subtle rainbow.

I really liked the panorama of the grove of trees in front of the lake. Beautiful!

When the highlands get that wet I usually head for the coast. Big seas, rocks and bays with islands... Not to mention river mouths and fishing boats galore.

Fantastic for deaf people . Makes you realise the world they live in and the world we take for granted

I'd take anything coming in my face if I was capturing stunning shots like those. ;) Some of my favourite captures Thomas!! Can't wait for the next episode!!

You always deliver the most stunning images from difficult situations. And the content and flow of your videos is in a different league to the other landscape pros.

Inspirational work under adverse conditions. I love all images you created.

Showing all the selected images again is a great way to wrap up the video. Stunning shots, especially given the sub-optimal conditions.

Love this. 1. I live in the Scottish Highlands and laughed when you drove 2 miles and the weather was different. Yep that's classic Highlands for you. 2. Glen Affric is just stunning. All year round. Just bring insect repellant. 3. Torridon is epic 4. I recommend Glen Orchy and Sma' Glen too. Lesser known Glens compared to Affric and Coe but well worth a visit for moody weather mountains and forests.

I love that Panorama photo you shot! Beautiful! Your first photo, the square one, also lovely. Great photos, despite the ugly weather. 👍

Love that first arching tree image particularly

I never realized that there was such beauty in the UK and such vast open spaces before watching your channel.

Even if your photography did not go to plan your cooking was certainly better than Adams at least it was proper food! Your pano of the tree's was wonderful. Thank you!

Enjoying this road trip, in spite of weather. One has to be out there or no chance of capturing images

Very rare innuendo to go with the excellent images. Pano was sublime..

Innuendos and instant coffee in a Thomas Heaton video - whatever next! Great images in tricky conditions.

500,000 subscribers as I post this! Congratulations Tom. What a journey over these years. They were all beautiful today. Nicely done. Merry Christmas!

Great to see Adam reunited with his fugi :-) that light at 9 mins was sublime and the image you captured stunning !! Tough conditions Pal but I do think you made the most of it for sure !! Looking forward to next weeks video already

That look at 12:28 LOL Gavin would be proud

I get the the weather is trying but man do you get some images in it. Its such good weather for photography. Well done as always.

Living the van life in those conditions ain’t fun but it’s worth it endure mate 🚐📷 that copse pano is just gorgeous

Great video Thomas. The Scottish weather sure brings some nice treats. The rain intensifies colours, and a surprise pop of sun can be such magic. My dad used to say to me " theres always sun round the corner lassie" he was nearly always right 👍 lm enjoying the trip, looking forward to the next video..... Alioban

Hope the weather works out for you in the days ahead!

That 3rd image.....WOW

Thomas, you should use your van to your advantage - shoot from the vehicle if it's raining too heavily / persistently. ;)

Nice to see you doing some landscape shots of landscapes

I'm a wildlife photographer and not got a creative bone in my body nor a good eye for a beautiful scene, so admire people like you who can spot and make stunning shots like the ones you showed in this video. All three, really lovely. The whole video was very watchable too! Enjoyed it very much.

Loved the cheeky look, what a good laugh! Coming in my face... 🤣 Amazing photos and video considering the conditions, always amazing to see.

Gorgeous panorama of trees by the loch. !!!

That pano at the end was killer!

I liked all the images but the pano was my favorite.

* Thomas looks to the camera * I immediately grinned and thought, "Oh you cheeky ..." 😂👏

Cheers again Thomas. Love the videos. Cant beat the smelly boot beside you cooking the vegetables!! 😂 love from Ireland 🇮🇪

More great content!! You just might have to put out a cookbook next! You know how to cook up some amazing looking meals on that little stove and griddle!!!!!👍👍👍👍

I was expecting a comment about the ‘gate’, but you visually dealt with it far better. It sure beats the rain coming in your face!! 😉😉 You’ve obviously been taking comedy tips from your mate, Gavin Hardcastle. @fototripper Enjoyed this one. Thanks.

Absolutely loved image #3. Incredible. Thanks as always.

Just by looking at the video, I can allready see some cool locations. Nice place indeed

Really great compositions, love the light in the second photo especially

3 damm fine images Thomas, the colours in each of them were wonderful. Got a feeling the Scottish weather is going to be a reoccurring factor in this trip but you have shown already how to work within those conditions and create great images

Gotta watch that tricky fence…..

omg...best episode yet. That first tree shot...wow.

Love the gate. Going through it and then running around it. LOL.

Gorgeous images, like paintings 😍 love, love, love Torridon, it's a special place. Really looking forward to next week 😁

It always feels as if you were filming these videos with a whole crew - love them…keep up the great work 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Shame there was so little of "Uncle Grumpy" on your video :) Very happy to see all the pictures at the end of the video as it used to be :) GREAT WORK! thank you for making those videos for us

I watched you walk up to that gate carefully open walk through and close it, al the while I’m thinking to myself there’s no fence. Then I almost spit my coffee out as you ran back around it to grab the camera. Then what about 30 seconds later you made me wonder if Gavin was perhaps hiding off frame instead of Adam. But let’s not forget the great images. Image 1 didn’t work for me I think it was just to busy, image 2 very nice but image 3 I loved the pano!

Makes my want to buy a camper van and go out looking for cold and rainy places to cozy up 😆

Hi, Thomas. I am very happy and excited to see your channel in bilibili. Your video aliways gives me relaxation and enjoyment. Hope you keep updating, haha. And I wish we can buy your calendar or books more conveniently in China.

Fun! Why roll one wheel on a rock when parking? The pano was awesome. More please.

Yes, great video(s) Thomas. Looking forward already to next week. Your first image looked almost 3d, enjoyed it 👍.

Love the road trip, Thomas! Making it even better is meeting up with Adam!!!!! Enjoying the trip so far! A couple of my fav photographers in my absolute favourite country! Beautiful!!! Spose it helps that I love the rain...😁😉 Ps...love the funnies 😉

You excel at 'seeing' the shot

I loved the gate sequence.

Great images under changeling weather conditions.

500k subscribers! Congratulations from Germany.

The effort put in for the fence joke..... lol

dude Im addicted to the channel... anyway you could make two episodes a week? lol I know... seriously great stuff!

Simply the best

Thomas in the High Spirits. Seeing shots in a jiffy. What a display of strong will and creativity. Inspiring each time.

Just wanted to say the sequence with the gate and no fence was not lost on me haha

Love the pano and positive attitude!

Great adventure and wonderful pictures, awesome work, congratulations, cheers.

“Coz Its coming in my face…” 👀 *eyes camera*. That made me laugh out loud which scared my cat who was sleeping on my lap

Why so damn beautiful... Wish I could also witness this once in a life time..

11:46, loved it :D

Magic

Beautiful images in this video and a solid ‘Eeyore’ moment around minute 16😉. Always enjoy your show

Congratulations on 500k subscribers

Awesome Golden colours fantastic Captures 👌.

Stunning shot Thomas. We just don’t get those conditions in the Southwest US. We can’t wait to get back to Scotland. Take care and travel safe.

That pause was so funny whilst you shot the copse.

This location is so wet I was afraid my computer screen would fog up 😂. Love the shot of the tree near the road, though, good job as always!

What a great video. The images you captured are lovely. You are very brave and optimistic going to the north west of Scotland at this time of year.

Thanks Thomas

Great pics, especially the last one. This episode had the vibes of your old videos(2017's and 18's ) which we all like and love so much.

Great shots there 👍 Scottish weather does have a habit of ‘coming in your face’, better get used to it lol ! 😂😂
