Landscape photography, wild camping and hiking is what we get up to in this episode. I have the pleasure of showing fellow photographer and Youtuber, Brendan van Son around the Lake District National Park. I go all ‘Ninja’ because of the midges. There was no light, it was hard work, but it was still a great time.

Nice walk. Just careful with the gas fire direct on ground with high grass. You know, improvise a barrier/rock bed if available, an upturned frying pan or at least clear patch. Enjoy the videos.
#AskTH How do you use the histogram to shoot great pictures? And how do you organize your pictures when you come home with a camera full of pictures?
Love heather in early autumn in the Alps, if you have yellowish grass, the contrast is insane at the golden hour. If you like trees like that, you should definitely go to Australia. The eucalypts, especially mallee growing eucalypts (multi trunks) are gorgeous as a composition subject. Tasmania in particular is a favorite spot of mine, or the Australian Alps with the snow gums.
Hey bud….just a heads up, the music Stay Near appears to be by artist Luwaks. Loved the adventure
Absolutely stunning!! 👍 Two lovely friends ever try, congratulations!!!!!
what should I say.., Amazing! Thank! Thomas….,
I love the pace of your videos. It's such a nice break from other Youtuber photographers (who I love too), but I get the feeling that you really savour each and every image. Really reminds me to slow down in my shooting and just appreciate where I am.
The three trees @7:22 look like it could have been a rad shot. Was there a reason that the one tree was used?
Really enjoy your videos. I shot Medium Format Film but it does not matter with your vids. You inspire.
Finally catching up after my trip to Yellowstone. Your leaves were turning a month early. Here it is the end of September and it's in the high 80's with no sign of Autumn color. Global Warming Weirdness?!
Please can anyone advise where in the lakes the Birch tree shots were taken ?
Just got to the last bit of your video, where the fog had just vanished . . . my wife walked in and said 'he looks knackered'. 🙂
I want to buld a website on squarespace but can you or somone els explain it a litle more please ?
I really like that horizontal photo of the tree. The bands of clouds in the sky combined with the tree and the heather make for a really solid shot! Solid video as usual!
I know that canyon! Thats where you filmed your polarizer episode =)
Dear Thomas, thank you for this beautiful calendar ! Congratulations!
I was sitting home, making excuses about the weather and after watching this, I'm moving my bottom to the beach to shoot shoot shoot! Maybe something will come out of this. Thanks, Tom for the motivation! Keep up the good work 🙂
Hi Tom, I'm looking for some outdoor hiking trousers and was wondering what ones you have on and do you rate them? Strange question I know, thanks
Another good video, thanks much. May I ask a question? About how many photos do you take when out photographing? You see so well disciplined, keeping your camera tucked away until you find "the" shot for your location. I struggle with taking far too many shots, and believe I do this due to my uncertainty of what I'm capturing. Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Again thanks so much for producing such good content.
No absolutely stunnin? I miss those line😭😭
Hi Tom, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure there was a great comp. In the cave, during the first part of vlogs. I recognise the tree in the cave and the beautiful colours on the background rock! That was one of the best pics I've seen of yours on an early vlogs. Am I right? As always love the bids.
Tom, don't ever change the music you play when reveal the photo. It mixes perfect. I enjoy it a lot.
When Midge's attack! Who was that masked man? Thanks for braving the bugs to bring us our video fix.
Shame about the fog / mist disappearing but you bagged a couple of wonderful shots Thomas.
Tony
POWER COUPLE <3 haha
I would say that a good image is a 6/10 and a great image is an 8/10

One thing I love about your videos is that you include and talk about the failed attempts or when things don't go your way. Thanks Thomas and keep up the great content.
mate, you need a lighter tent. Think that every time I see you setting up even though vango tents are a great starter (we took ours to Mongolia!), Get yourself a tarptent – lightweight luxury 🙂
How do you handle walking with your tripod on your shoulder? For me this always at one point adds some pain to the muscles.
Well. What should I say… Stunning, amazing, incredible, beautiful…. etc
Shot quality is on fire in this vid
Thomas,
I was afeard you had crossed over to Isis with that head-gear… but I got over it!
That tree will likely still be there when you return. I'll look forward to your next attempt.
Thank-You,
Mike
Looks like you had a rough night there Tom 😀 I don't think you can blame the location, looks like a brilliant spot to put up your tent.
Really like that second image, nicely done!
You're beginning to inspire me a bit. I love the attitude u have.
For some reason I always find myself commenting after seeing one of your vids. They are just really really well constructed, and the images is always top notch. I'll probably be here commenting when you upload the autumn edition from the same place, with fog this time 🙂 Best of luck out there! Ps, where is Monty nowadays? I miss that rugged little achiever!
Great video as usual, I love this ethereal atmosphere! One thing… Don't you think is quite dangerous to turn on a fire on such dry field? I see some grass on fire 😱
Love the showcasing of the trees before showing the shot. Trees are one of my favourite things to shoot. Nicely done……again 🙂
Another inspiring vlog.
Curious that the season seems to be changing early there… Here in Pennsylvania, the month of August was way cooler than usual, and September mornings are downright chilly! I have been wondering if we are heading into a real brutal Winter season…
Great vid again Tom. Would love to know where they quarry is. Looks amazing! Does anyone know?
Putting the image in a square crop just makes all the difference. Lovely picture Thomas. 👍👍
Another belter Thomas. You highlighted your common theme which crops up repeatedly throughout your videos about taking time to work out the composition and having the ability to say no, the light is no good, so I'm not taking the shot. Such an important lesson to get away from machine gun mode and one I am slowly taking on board. Quality not quantity. Marry that with KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid – and you are in a good place.
Whats midgets?? British for mosquitos?
