Excited for the videos from Ireland! 😃 There’s always a spot for your delica on our driveway if you’re ever back over and need a shower/water etc. we’ve just bought a house here so Ireland is still all new and shiny for us 🤣 but yes, the ferries are always that costly. Great video Thomas as always 👍
Where are the pontoons and motor to 'drive' to Ireland? Good thing there wasn't a dentist at the ferry security checkpoint, they would have done a 'cavity search'.
@@flowboxx I know, you're right. Stupid democracy 🤪 I kinda hoped that Scotland would vote for independence from the UK in the 2024 referendum - and then to join the EU.
Tom, looks like another exciting adventure. Can't wait to see more. On another topic, I joined 617 club the other day and I am excited about all the possibilities of such a community. Cuddos to you and Simon for putting this together. And one more topic that I want to mention regarding your RU-vid channel in general. I'm not sure people appreciate how good of a job you do in producing these videos. I worked in television production for a number of years and I know the amount of work it takes to script, shoot, and edit. As a producer I had a full crew. You do this all by yourself which I find amazing. And my final point, you are SO good on camera! I don't think you even know. So relaxed and natural. Well done mate! Keep up the epic work. You have a fan.
I almost fell off that cliff behind you @10:17 , when I grabbed a barbed wire fence to climb over it when the fence post came out of the ground, camera backpack on my back and a tripod in one hand, oh my... I'm sweating just thinking about it 🥴
The ferries are indeed a rip-off. We paid over £400 return for a family of four and car, Cairnryan to Belfast. I wouldn't use P&O due to the way they treated their employees.
Super hyped to see some Ireland shots! I'm a west coast fella so it'll be cool if I recognise any of the spots, and if I don't then it's essentially a walkthrough for me to where to go next
This location is as infuriating as it is epic. Absolutely beautiful place but my perfect image still eludes me here, despite living under an hour from here. Have a holiday home under 20 mins from here too. This has encouraged me to get back again as soon as possible. Hope you really enjoyed your trip to the Emerald Isle
I’m just jealous. It s bad, I know. But I ´d love to have a L400 delica !!!!! A Dream !!! And I like the Way you arranged yours. So…. Î’m jealous, but I like Your videos, you are making amazing photograph ´s work !!!! Congrats !!!!
As for Ireland if you don't like the weather wait 10m and it will change - perfect for a photographer - mostly. Plus park you van nose into the wind if not using the sliding doors. |Enjoy too much scenery.
My wife and I were driving behind you as you crossed the border from Derry to Donegal. I said to her “Thomas Heaton has a delica like that with an f11 number plate” lo and behold the closer I got to you I saw the plate and realised it was actually you! I’ve photographed the crohy sea arch many times as I’m from not far from it. Donegal is unbelievable in the right weather.
Im always amazed at how big RU-vidr's vans look when they are inside. I have a converted Renault Trafic which has a rock and roll bed, but it always feels cramped when the bed is down
Really enjoyed meeting with you at the Big Day conference in Dublin. Very enjoyable presentation. Hope to see you back photographing in Ireland sometime soon.
Great stuff Thomas, crazy seeing you visiting my neck of the woods. In fairness weather doesn't look too bad! I was up at that arch two weeks ago and took an awful beating with the wind and rain
Yes! The WAW! So glad you’re doing a roadtrip just stopping where you fancy. Total freedom. I did similar driving 10 days, just me in my Qashqai with camera from the top of Co. Mayo, to Achill, Slievemore mountain and Keem Bay then down to Roundstone via Doolough Pass, Clifden, finishing at Doolin. Such beauty! Looking forward to watching.
This more like it. More of story in your day. Having the van showcase with a wonderful photo and great vlogging images. Respect for doing the rock trek twice just for the composition, I’m impressed.
1:40 Yes, a body scan! Protecting the borders from unwanted individuals isn't a British privilege. We can protect our European borders just as well. This is an EU measure the then British MEPs also voted for. This is how Brexit Britain has become the ever first country in history that has sanctioned itself. 😂😂🤣
A great first shot Tom! I joined the 617 Club last week...it's a fantastic concept that you and Simon Baxter have birthed. Looks like that there are many, many more photographers that agree. Look forward to Irland pt#2 👍
parking in a passing place, that'll go down well, lol. You should check out the Bow Fiddle Rock in Moray in Scotland, stunning spot for striking images! Great film Tom, cheers. PS good lad for the Carbon Monoxide detector!
No better place than Ireland. that ferry was cheap compared to the €560 we paid Denmark to Norway one way in the July, roughly the same distance. Looking forward to more images around Ireland.
That's why I keep coming back to this channel. A man, a van, and some fine photography. Good to see you are travelling again, I love these "driving my van" videos. Iceland's series is still one of my favourites. Hope one day you go on a longer trip with your van again.
Ireallylike the image you captured and made. I'm sure you'll be spoiled for choice for further images - this is an incredibly photogenic island, a big part of why I moved here. Welcome!
You created a beautiful sea arch image, Thomas. Very well done! The reason for the body scan is because of having an open border policy. You are going to find many more restrictions in the future. One of the best parts of that wonderful photography van is the fact that it's paid for. :))And BTW, great choice of BG music, too. I loved that bluegrass banjo.
I’m kinda surprised you haven’t done more trips to Ireland but then again the ferry prices don’t help! There’s so much to explore around the coast. Everybody overlooks the copper coast in Waterford with Cork, Kerry and Donegal getting most of the love. Also the top northern coast is beautiful.
I enjoy this style of video more than any others that you do (and I like those a lot!). If you decide to abandon this style and move entirely to your Oscar quality, cinematic masterpieces, please let me know so that I can fill this niche on RU-vid. Please give me plenty of notice, so I can organise some vlogging capability, get 30 times better at landscape photography, work out how I can afford to give up my job and muster up some charisma. Cheers
Welcome and enjoy your stay, If your around the southeast of ireland I will say kilkenny castle, hook head, and beaches near by, carinivan beach just outside featherd on sea. And mahon falls in waterford also gold coast. Just a few areas and many more in the south east.
made 2018 a 10day complete roundtrip in ireland, 3 days in Dublin and then heading south with car on the coast up to northern irland and back to dublin. it was awesome, took about 1500 photos, the landscapes are awesome 😊
That rock behind you when you were on the beach (around 11:21 into the video) looks like it would've been a fantastic abstract shot. You've certainly made me want to visit Ireland with my camera even more than I already did.
The ferries to Ireland are rather pricey. We drove over to the west coast in August and it was over £500 return from Holyhead to Dublin. I hope the weather treats you better than it did us, it was pretty wet and windy. Definitely too windy to get the drone out on the coast.
The first shot is great! As a matter of personal taste, not a critique to your vision, I would have made it warmer and darker for more mood. Just my taste :)
If youre still in Ireland, go to An Port. Its in Donegal, and has the most stunning Sunset views over a cliff edge. Shot a fashion campaign there this year.
