I travelled to the USA to photograph storms. It was an unforgettable experience, and easily one of the most exciting things you can do with a camera, in my case a Nikon Z8. Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video, for 10% off your next domain or website visit www.squarespace.com/heaton

The evolution of Thomas Heaton! From British Landscape photographer to International Adventure-seeking content maker!

@ThomasHeatonPhoto 23 дня назад

Haha, You have given me a new job title.

@GodIsReal 21 день назад

@@ThomasHeatonPhoto I hope you do more of these adventures. You are really very good at conveying the feeling and drama, in a spontaneous, real way. Makes me think of Bear Grylls. Very enjoyable to watch.

I haven't seen Thomas look that animated and excited in a long time. It was great to see him doing something so out of his usual wheelhouse of tranquil minimalist nature shots (although those are gorgeous, too)!!!❤

I absolutely love watching yall experience the Midwest--this is like every day life when you live here ;) the sirens, the hail, the dry lightning, the temp drops. Prairie storms are the absolute best.

@calci2679 День назад

I am a cynical American who has a negative view of my own country most of the time, but for some reason, this video gave me a small reminder of how beautiful this place is. Thank you for this delightful film!

@ThePwig 5 дней назад

I always hear people complain about how it rains so much in England. When I have told people about how extreme the weather can get in the US, it just doesn’t get across to them. I’ve seen it rain so hard sometimes that you can’t see the fence in your backyard. It just doesn’t rain that hard in Europe.

@DavidKingsbury89 23 дня назад

haha, trashes american food and then proceeds to eat a fuckin' tornado from a gas station

@ThomasHeatonPhoto 21 день назад

Haha, yes, I was a little harsh about American cuisine. We had many unbelievable BBQs. So much so that I bought a smoker. But, sadly most of the time we were restricted to gas stations and fast food 🤢

@jcosyn 20 дней назад

I was just thinking, a Brit complaining about the cuisine is rather like a Quebecois complaining about people being rude. 🤣 Getting food at a gas station is never recommended.

@SteveCrane 19 дней назад

Half of the team has been spoiled by Icelandic gas station food

@cardiacjunkie 13 дней назад

⁠@@ThomasHeatonPhotoYou aren't wrong about gas station food, I don't do fast food either. When I do, I'm picky, I'll pack a PB&J and be just fine. Lol. The US allows a lot of trash that has zero good purpose for it to be in the food. You had me at bill gates lab created meat. That got you another sub. They need to stop messing with the food and clean it up. It takes too long to shop when you have to look at the ingredients on everything. It's easy to get addicted to chasing, especially if you are a weather nerd. If I could combine nurse + meteorology/weather/chasing/photography for a career, I'd be set. LoL.

@LoriGraceAz 23 дня назад

Glad you had the opportunity to come shoot with Mike! I've been chasing since 2015 and just keep coming back for more. I also spend summers in the desert southwest of the U.S. shooting incredible monsoon storms with saguaro cacti and mountains for composition! You should come out and see!

@ThomasHeatonPhoto 23 дня назад

Mike was awesome and I can see why you keep coming back for more. I can't wait to get back out there!!

@ethan.... 23 дня назад

Fellow Oklahoman here, right in the heart of Tornado Alley. Come April every year I start to get excited. We almost lost the house this year though. Tornado jumped over our house less than a 1/4 mile away and came back down about 20 miles to the east.

@mirto5663 21 день назад

Your excitement and joy was contagious throughout this adventure. Well done!

@scottmcnally 23 дня назад

As a Minnesota storm chasing photographer, it would have blown my mind to run into Tom in my home state. His excitement is the reason we drive 100s of miles to get a glimpse of a storm. Looking forward to next week's video!

@ThomasHeatonPhoto 21 день назад

I'm hopefully returning next year. I'm already addicted.

@aaronmcgee6895 23 дня назад

Never expected to see you of all people in my home town. The farm you stopped in front of at 17:50 has the best sweet corn in the world. Many moons ago I learned to drive a stick shift on the road in your picture from there too! I will also add when I used to go out chasing I pretty much only used my 10-22mm.

@KellyPettit 23 дня назад

I'll say it again, better than anything they put on TV. That was fantastic.

We have some great food-- but it's rarely to be found in a service station. There are exceptions, but they're not common.

@dr.dedrickminor1184 22 дня назад

Yep, I was a little thrown off when he said that, considering the US has the 6th most Michelin starred restaurants in the world. I'm from New Orleans and everyone comes here to eat! ha

@woojoow 20 дней назад

@@dr.dedrickminor1184 Aye, although most of those Michelin stars are in the big coastal metros. As far as food on the road, my only recommendation would be to aim for the larger truck stops like Pilot or Love's which tend to have better food than the normal gas stations and convenience stores. Or if you can find a Buc-ees, those have a lot of options and the quality's pretty good, and they're also a bit of a uniquely-American spectacle. "What if we made a 7-Eleven but it's ten times bigger and has a mascot roaming around?"

Okie from Oklahoma here. I’m glad that you’re enjoying your journey. As a trauma nurse I feel compelled to mention though that we’ve had some really tragic deaths of storm chasers. I couldn’t help but notice that your driver blew through a STOP sign. I suggest he be an ex-driver for you in the future. True, wrecks are job security for us (my husband is a Paramedic) but better to avoid entirely. Happy hunting!

@Chompchompyerded 4 дня назад

This is the sort of thing I grew up with. Crazy weather, and yes, the occasional tornado. The sunsets are just mad in the Great Plains. Now I'm living in Cambridge, UK, teaching at the Uni. Sometimes I just need to feel the wind in my ears, and then the need strikes me, the only way I can get that feeling is to climb a set of stairs hidden in an obscure corner of the Chapple of King's College and go to the roof. There the wind is a bit stronger then the gentle zephyrs at ground level, and if I close my eyes, I can see the tall grass and the wheat with waves not unlike water. Then I open my eyes, and look across the yard which has not changed since Sir Isaac Newton walked these hallowed grounds, and look across to the river Cam, and I know that I am so lucky to be seeing a whole other sort of beauty. The world is amazing if you take a moment just to look.

Your enthusiasm for seeing nature in its most epic form was great to see.

They never get old, are never the same, and will make your heart nearly beat out of your chest. It's great to watch you guys getting to experience these things.
