Nothing better than camping. It's good for the soul. Add in landscape Photography and you are at peace with the world. I'm extremely thankful I began this journey. Aside of my God who saved my soul, landscape Photography saved my life in a very dark time as a returning combat veteran.. Thank you so much for your continued inspiration Thomas.

Our favorite moments have to be camping in the Eastern Sierras. Our first ball head was designed during our backpacking days and shooting medium and large format film. There is nothing better than the excitement of an adventure and being able to capture the memory of the beauty of nature. Life is Good. I hope your videos inspire others to be a part of the 5% that venture past the side of the road and find their own favorite moments.

“Photography is partially a excuse” (to go camping) Brilliant.

i love the way you have no music, but just birds chirping in the first 2 mins or so. No actual music can beat the beautiful bird songs. Lovely video

Love the moment when the tripod fell down, the focus changes from distance to nearest grass. Simple and attractive composition.

Stunning Tom. I remember watching your cloud inversion video 5 or 6 years ago. It was definitely one of the top 3 videos that got me into my crazy hobby. I was gobsmacked by the view from your tent. It came at a point in my life when I needed something inspirational. Thanks mate. I owe ya 👍🏻

You're not alone, Paul. I got a camera in 2013 and started shooting all sorts of stuff, eventually gravitating towards timelapse. That particular video really inspired me, too, and I had a few adventures of my own. I still want more, even now. Even though I'm 55 and haven't been camping for a couple of years... I'm not old yet!

You should do more of these cinematic compilation/montage videos, looking back at the past is honestly so fun to do - and also please make a video about starting out with landscape photography and how you get to where you are (i.e. showing photos from when you were a beginner to where you are now!)

When you look back over your various trips Thomas, you have certainly have blessed us with some wonderful images over the last few years and showed us some fantastic locations from around the world. Hopefully you will be able to undertake new adventures soon and continue on your fantastic photographic journey

I appreciate that your videos have a tone / theme that I can't quite find the right words to describe. You are talking about photography in its broader and true spirit. A lot of photography channels on YT are really just camera review channels that offer little for photography as an art form.

thanks, Thomas - reminding us of good times - and taking us along for the journey.

Dear Thomas, I am Ahmet Elhan from Turkey. I have been a loyal subscriber of yours since your very first videos. I'm a beginner level photographer and I have started filming my photography experiences just like you. I hope to get this as a challenge for myself to push myself out more and improve my photography. You have been and still are a great inspiration for me and my photography. I have started to watch all of your videos from the beginning to get ideas for filming. Thanks for everything man, and best wishes 👋👋

Awesome compilation of your trips Thomas. That cloud inversion really looked amazing. Stunning images mate, thanks for sharing the video. Makes me really appreciate the freedom of what we use to have travelling the world. Can’t wait to get back out there again one day 👍🙏

What a wonderful video, inspiring and motivating all of us. Thanks Thomas.

Great video Thomas, so glad you are going back to the original content of walking / camping and photography. The reason first started watching your videos how ever long ago that was. Looking forward to more like this.

Stunnin' video mate, Thx for taking us along!

Beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration, as always.

I think that image with the tent at the Lake District is the one I would instantly think of when thinking of all your vlogs, if one image were to come to mind. Being outdoors at times and with conditions like that is what it's all about. The best time I've ever had outdoors in nature was at the Lake District at Buttermere on what was the most sensational morning of my life. Like on top of that mountain there was no wind, just complete calm, silence and peacefulness... and the conditions and light were just stunning. I'd love to go camping more though as I've never wild camped anywhere, it looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this video.

I love this backflash. Thanks for taking me - once again - out in nature and for sharing your experience with us.

Hi Thomas. Moutains, camping and photogaphy, this is pure emotion. Thanks!

Fantastic! lovely bit of viewing for a Sunday afternoon. Thanks man :)

Man, your videos are so inspiring and relaxing. This is what Internet is all about: sharing experiences, seeing the world with someone else's eyes... Thanks a lot !

Beautiful compilation of some of your past trips and videos the cloud inversion image has always been one of your past images that I love and read about in your e-book stunning work Tom 👍

Man, I remember watching all these videos and they’re some of my favourites of yours. Watching this felt almost like meditation it was so peaceful and awesome. Really makes me want to go hiking!

I love how passionate you are about photography xx

I watched your videos all day yesterday, and this morning I watched this one during breakfast. I was immediately able to tell the step up in quality on this one. I wish I knew what trail this is. All I can think about now is hiking up one of these mountains and taking something portfolio-worthy. Thanks for all the hard work on these videos.

Brilliant Thomas and thanks for letting us all see the compilation 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great stuff Thomas, really enjoyed that one. Nice to relive some highlights of your old trips there. Cheers!

That’s true! Enjoying the outdoors an photographing is the best combination.

"This is what it's all about..." Yes, exactly! I was really looking forward to the spring as it's normally when I start to get back out there wild camping. This year I'm going to have to wait a little longer, but this video will help keep me going until then, thanks Tom! Sam.

4:16 loved the street lights under lighting the clouds

Fabulous Thomas thank you and what a great compilation!!

Nice highlight reel! You must have hours of this stuff. Bring it on! Rock on!

Great video, wonderful places ! Thanks.

That looks heavenly , wow what a beautiful view

What an ending! A photographer in his natural environment during his daily routine. A very rare scene that only few seen before! Absolutely stunning!

Great work dude. Enjoying these! 😀

Great video. I can't wait for the world to be open again!

Love your work Tom!

Love your videos. I live in the lake district, and intend on doing some camping and photography this summer.

Thoroughly enjoyed that Tom. Cheers. I'd love to go camping right now.

Stunning video Thomas, can't wait for your return to full on film making, thank you.

Great inspirational video Thomas, many thanks.

A great trip down memory lane :) Thanks Thomas. Stay safe.

Glad to revisit your hike and camp up the Sahale Arm, my first PNW camp many years ago. It is truly a stunnin' place to see, and it's a happy to thought to know the place moved you as well and, in turn, shared your experience there with all of us so beautifully, as always.

insights into Thomas past to amazing future. Love it!

Tom, it was a nice montage. Thanks for sharing it.

This has got me itching to get back out with the tent! great video Tom. The inversion over Ullswater is a classic!

Beautiful. I remember a few of those videos, but it is still a joy to revisit them. Outside soon I hope...

Your videos are always so enjoyable and relaxing, and inspire me to get out all the time. Thank you so much for making these

I watch this as I lie in my tent 1000 meters up on a mountain in northern Sweden, overlooking the surrounding snow-covered peaks, and I couldn't agree more👌

I watched your video in the morning and then ordered a new tent in the evening. I think you affected my subconscious! At least the tent was on sale. Beautiful sights. Love your videos and photos.

Definitely my two favorite things in life... I've never been massively into landscape photography specifically, but you're photos are slowly converting me 😁

There’s something mesmerising about anyone skilled at their craft. If you’ve ever had to work hard at a skill you tend to develop a kind of universal appreciation for craftsmanship.

Loved this one! It was really nice to see a collection of your photos in one video. Stunning images!

Great video Thomas, as always! I´m really missing going out camping and spending some proper time in nature. Hopefully we´ll be able to do it soon! Take care and keep up the good work!

Excellent video as ever Thomas. Having a little dram whilst watching.

Once again, absolutely stunning !

Camping and landscape photography are symbiotic pursuits . . . one enables the other. Great video Thomas.

So inspiring. Your older videos made me and my wife hop over to the UK (Lakes and Scotland) and we didn't regret a single second. Loving the camera drops, "absolutely stunning" and "f11, focus on the mountain" pure gold haha :D

I am literally going to camp and shoot landscape photos tomorrow. No better timing possible for this video 🙌

That's always a pleasure to see you in the wild. Love your work!

Beautiful philosophy and video work.

Wow! The pano is fantastic!

Loved your camping videos from way back when. I’ve even found myself watching your trip to Chamonix video a few times too

Absolutely stunning so peaceful and beautiful still I am missing my photography so thankfully I can watch it thank you for the content.

The hand over the camera trick for panos is brilliant!

I really love this video... it’s really making me miss the times I was in the mountains! Keep it up man!

Totally in sync with you Thomas. Going for a mountain trip with my tent next week. Hesitated but finally decided to take a tripod thanks to you. Great videos. Greetings from Brussels.

Absolut fantastic and so real !

Great to see you visit us here in Finland. I just arrived from Repovesi myself. Olhavanvuori is so nice.

I also take a shot of my hand before & after focus stacking images. Awesome footage . thank you

1 finger before and after = Bracketed images, 2 fingers = Focus stack and 3 fingers = pano. It really helps me when I'm skimming through a big batch of photos :-)

It's almost like you can just jump into the cotton clouds! Stunning!

Great to see from your trips and realize how much I miss them. But soon there will be many more great videos from the great videographer Tom.

Just discovered this video almost a year and a half since you posted it. I've been a subscriber for awhile and have watched a bunch of your previous videos - but this one somehow eluded me until today. I want to start camping this fall in order to photograph sunrises, but I've never packed a tent and gear for an overnight in the wilderness. I found this video to be truly inspiring about what is possible with the investment of time and hard work, not only for the images captured, but for the editing and storytelling which transformed a vlog into a wonderfully crafted documentary-style film. This should be the promo for a university degree in Landscape Photography :) Always enjoy your work.

You continue to show us stunning views and incredible shots..you are my Obi Wan Kenobi of photography.

Another great video. I admire you for your hard work and showing what it takes to get the photographs that you get. The cost of travel whether it is local or international is only a portion of the business. The nice photo equipment you use along with camping gear. I am so looking forward to your upcoming book. The cost is money well spent on my part. Keep up the good work📸

Really liked all those shots except the one of the tree always those trees anyway that pano shot amazing. The hard to get to shots are the valuable ones and memorable ones.

Gracias por enseñarnos tanto,sos lo más colo

Won’t be long now Thomas, soon enough you will be able to get back out there with camping in mind and camera in hand. Thanks for sharing the memory’s.

That trip, camping on Beinn Bhan, was a real favourite first time I saw it. Here's to when we can get out to places like that again!

Really enjoyed this one. Some epic places you've visited. Hope to see some of these images in the book 👍

As a Finn and planning visits to homeland national parks I was blown away that you got to Repovesi before me! Confirmed that I want to go there! Cheers!

Best of «tents»! Loved every second of it 👍

Sahale Glacier is truly one of my all time favourite hikes. Just so pretty all around.

Still need to watch the rest of the video, but couldn't agree more with your opening words.

Hi Thomas, Great Video, thanks I hope you and your family are well. in little old New Zealand we seem to have dodged the bullet and life will continue.... thanks Tony

It was those Lake District videos years ago that made me subscribe to this channel and ive been here ever since. I enjoy the travel vlogs but for me the Lake District/uk ones are always my favourites

This is one of my Favorite videos you have done!!

Wonderful video Thomas thank you for sharing a lot of good info there

So peaceful. Ive missed these!

I saw a trace but the grass will stand back up. Beautiful place I am envious.

Great story telling Tom

Hello Thomas, I do enjoy your video. Thanks.

Absolutely Wonderful Video - I love how you time traveled in BeinnBhan, Scotland......started out 30 minutes til sunrise.....arrived 33 minutes before sunrise.....You have to teach me that so I dont miss those sunrises....LOL

Thank you!

14:00 Some improvement over that: I fotograph one finger before a pano series and zwo fingers after. Especially when you are compositionally insecure like me and you are shooting multiple versions of the pano and in between some single shots this helps a lot.

Thomas´s idea is good yours is even a little more refined. I often like to try multiple exposures and was always annoyed that I couldn't just quickly make a new folder to keep them together. I guess that problem is now solved thanks very much to you and Thomas.

Scotland is beautiful this time of year. I was working up at Fort William - the drive up from England is something else.

“Simply Stunning”, those cloud inversions are just something else, I just wish I could climb up those hills. I’ll just have to find somewhere where I can drive to a similar height, it reminds me of driving up Mount Teide on Tenerife

With all that’s going on in the world right now, I will be escaping life, civilisation and detoxing my brain whenever I can. The wilderness helps me quench my thirst for solitude. There’s nothing better.

Wow! Those views make you really appreciate countries even more. Who wants to go traveling? Brilliant video Thomas keep it up, also looking forward to F4 project coming up 😁

Great Video! Thanx
