- In this video I venture out on a very rare sub-zero morning to be greeted by the most breathtking hoar frost. I take full advantage and photograph as much as I can, sharing tips and techniques along the way. This video is different to my usual landscape photography videos as I take many more images.

I've recently purchased a Canon 80D, my first DSLR. It is, by far, one of my favorite items that I own. I am interested in photography, so I wanted to learn more about it. Since I travel an average of 400 miles daily across the country driving a truck, I often wonder how I could fit photography into my busy schedule. After seeing many beautiful places at highway speeds, I wish nothing more than to freeze those high speed moments. However, for safety reasons, I can't just stop in the road to take pictures. So, after watching this video, you've given me motivation to look a little closer, and little deeper, into the areas where I can park for those beautifully rich colors like that of those of the frosty leaves. Thank you for inspiring me to get out and look. Have a great day.
All those images are beautiful. I really liked 'Winter Layers', but 'The Star of the Show' is particularly breathtaking.
Glad to see a fellow winter photography lover! I live in the US in Michigan and theres fantastic shots to be had during this time of year!
I'll bet there is and I bet it is colder than over here.
The scene of the frozen, shaded foreground against the thawed sunny background looked amazing.
last tree is amazing.
Thank you, sir.
Loved the layered shot but the best thing has to be your enthusiasm which just make us all want get out there with our cameras.
I do a fair bit of landscape myself. I find your videos most inspirational and great to see someone who really enjoys his art. Many thanks for uploading.
That's very kind, thank you for watching.
That last one is incredible!
Don't worry Thomas, we love your complaining!
I must say - it's so enjoyable to watch someone do what they love! The way you admire what surrounds you is inspiring!
'I don't know where I am, and I don't know where I'm going'. A popular outlook on life. And probably a good song lyric, I'm gonna nick it!
The last shot was by far my favorite. Amazing.
Every time Thomas says Luuvly and Fantastic take a shot.
Thumbs up for the advice with bag and cold equipment 🙌
That last ‘tree’ photo is fantastic! 😮
Thank you for freezing your ass off to bring us these wonderful photographs. The last image was especially stunning.
Your videos are so lovely. You know, you're kind of like Bob Ross. Very comforting to just put a video on and listen before bed.
It's great that Squarespace sponsor so many creatives! They really care and their service looks awesome!
They do sponsor a lot of creatives, which is great as it can be very difficult to earn a living doing what you love. We have been talking for a while and they're very supportive.
One thing I find interesting on this (although I'm totally supportive of people like yourselves getting sponsorships so you can continue inspiring the rest of us) is that it really goes to show where photography is as a business when the ads are geared toward selling gear and services to other photographers. There really isn't much of a push to attempt to sell anything toward a more mainstream audience anymore. It's about selling workshops, commissions on selling gear, views by other creatives, etc. Just an interesting state of affairs these days! I hope that your success online is translating into success on the prints and art gallery side and that one day we'll all be seeing Thomas Heaton galleries everywhere as you clearly deserve that! Definitely need to diversify our revenue streams into the future so that if the CZcams thing dries up one day you'll still be able to continue doing what you love (not that this business model will ever dry up, but I'm just saying)....
This guy sure loves his work....and poetry obviously
So that's where you took one of your favorite pics from 2016! I do love that shot. As always, appreciate learning about your process.
Winters mornings are just brilliant. Hopefully we’ll get some soon.
I enjoy watching you explore different landscape photography locales; and this encouraged me to get out more this Winter.
Wonderful shots. I'm so glad to see you discovering the wonders of intimate landscapes. It's a whole new world.
It really is! Thanks a lot.
thanks for that tip at the end. I did this 2 weeks ago. lesson learned
Oh no, hope you didn't cause too much damage.
You are one of the few people who can fill 15min of video with interesting content. Lots of great shots but I particularly like the frosty brown leaves and the frosty arid bush. I've seen similar bushes here in Wisconsin. They are so elegant, and with frost, wow!
Since I started watching this channel about a year ago both your videos and photos are constantly getting better and better. I really love the intimate landscape stuff you do. Very inspiring!
That's very kind of you to say, thanks a lot!
Thanks Tom, the tips you shared about winter photography have helped me immensely. For someone who grew up in hot and humid climates, I don't have a clue about this style of photography!
The last image was fantastic. Definitely your best one in this video.
the useful insight I got out of this video: "I'm the type of photographer who likes to take his time" - thx for that!
really liked how in depth you went into the logic of your choices
The images are beautiful. Winter has a lot to offer.
I'm always seeing compositions I would make in the backgrounds of your videos.
I like those shots where we see you walking around, but I can't help but think how you had to prepare the shot for it :D
I know what you mean. It's funny how we all have the same thought with One Man Vlogging, but it never occurs to us to have the same thoughts when we see full productions :)
A winter wonderland - doesn't get much better than mornings like this. Top video Thomas.
That last image was amazing lad, well done!
Thanks a lot!
This video make me wanna go shooting photo's by my self. NOW! Even now it is at night😀
Ha! Go in the morning!!
This showed up in my suggestions today and i ended up watching your videos the whole day. Came back here to say GREAT WORK MAN!
Loved the photos in this episode Thomas. Lovely colours and light.
That's very kind, thank you.
Stunning photos, last one was a real beauty.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, passion and dedication you bring to photography.
That last photo though, fantastic!
Thank you so much!!!
Obviously it is not necessery to travel far away for good photos...
... art and beauty is right out of the door...
Thomas, the bush is a Cytisus scoparius ;-)
I always come back to this video this time of year, one of my favorites. All your images are just fantastic too!
Thank you for the inspiration! They're all fantastic images but that last tree was so amazing!
The last shot on the video is absolutely amazing, So simple yet complex with the light and the beauty is just perfect. Brilliant work a usual.
That's very kind, thank you!
Wow! Just wow! And the one of the brown leaves is my favourite.
That's very kind of you to say, thank you.
Summer here in Oz.
Thomas Iv learnt so much about landscape photography from your Vlogs.
I always look forward to them
Thank You 😊
Beautiful Images, thanks for sharing, love frost and ice photos.
Your last image was incredible. Absolutely made me gasp when I saw it. WOW...
Thomas, one of the reasons I feel that I'm being pulled into landscape photography more and more (willingly I may add), is that it draws you into nature in a lot more detail. It makes you think about what you're seeing which means more time to consider your shot.
Before, when hiking, I'd walk past a lovely scene (without a camera) and say that's pretty, but, with camera in hand, I look much deeper into nature. It draws me in and gives me so much pleasure. Your video confirms yet again, that there is so much more to landscape photography. For me, it gives me get a better perspective on life and that it is the simple things that can also make it pleasurable.
I'm loving your work Thomas and by the way, you're invited to Australia mate.
This is my favourite video! What a great way to beat the winter blues! Beautiful shots!
That last photo is fantastic!
I love going out and photographing on day's like this!
Great video and some lovely shots.
Great to come along with you in your adventures as always.
I never realized that about the condensation from going outside in the cold for few hrs and bringing the camera in the car instead of leaving it in my bag,, always enjoy the vids and photography lessons
Absolutely wonderful images. What a lovely place to experience in the freezing wether.
It was great to explore. I'm quite glad that I didn't know the area, this just made me look harder.
The last photo was my favoritie. Excellent as usual.
Opened my eyes for heaps of new images. Thanks, enjoyed this video a lot.
I'd watched this when it was released and this was a re-visit. I was watching it through and not skipping to get to the "tree shot" at the end. When it came up at the end of the shoot, it literally took my breath away! I've been shooting a fair amount myself, and have been working a little more on my technical chops. Seeing this again really inspires me to dig in harder and spend more time out in the wild. Thanks Thomas!
100% right about bringing in a cold camera
Marvelous pictures Thomas, thanks so much for share with us that cold morning... I'm now in a hot region of my country but I'd grew up in a cold one and I miss it... you took me back to a lovely memories, thanks and congrats for your beautiful shots.
Love love love this stunning images definately going to be looking out for frosty mornings and heading out. 😊
Great tip at the end of the video regarding condensation. I am actually photographing in the snow tomorrow for the first time so this video is very helpful
Beautiful shots. I liked the wide shot with the reeds in particular. I also liked that you showed us the back of your camera with the composition. Thanks Thomas.
Wow, last shot was great and good tips, never thought about simply blocking the light (Sun) with a pad!
Thank you again for being my weekly inspiration!
14:10. Poetry. Thomas I just discovered your videos and your work. Simply hors category!!!
Beautiful picture with good colours and light.
The last picture was incredible! Definitely one of your bests
That's very kind, thank you.
Really appreciate your courage to share your journey. Love it.
Love the shot of the twig. It turned out really great. It will certainly have me thinking about what I shoot when I head to Mt. Hood in March.Thanks for the inspiration.
Every things may be beautiful shine of the lights. It is leader. Thank!
This was inspiring. Made me look forward to the winter.
As always, great video. That last shot is fabulous, well worth braving a cold winters morn.
Great details shots. I really enjoy shooting in winter because it can simplify a busy composition.
I'd love to wear a shirt with some decent minimalistic photography designs and two words written on it: "Absolutely magic"
As for different revenue streams I just commented on above, this could be a revenue stream for you! Also please do a series with "Absolutely stunning!" It always makes me so happy to hear you say that... I love that feeling!
I loved the video. The shots you took were the sort of thing I like to do and it was a real pleasure to see how you created them. I just wish we had more hoar frosts like that. Your pictures were stunning.
Its what you leave out that for me makes those woodland shots work - you do isolate and balance the critical elements nicely whether with selection or DOF. Really liked the symmetry on the layered piece.
One of those beautiful videos Thomas, I enjoyed it. Thank you!
Beautiful last image of the lone frosty tree :)
That last image was stunning. I'm looking forward to next weeks video. You can learn as much about photography on the bad shoots as the good shoots.
Really nice video, Thomas and wonderful pictures too. I'm completely in love with the last image of the lonely tree. The blue colours are out of this world!
Never would have noticed most of those composition!
Wow! the 4th and 5th pictures were so amazing! Outstanding job Thomas!
Lovely white frost

Love your Videos ;)
Amazing video! Every image was even more gorgeous than the last. Beautiful.
Fantastic images, there are many good photographers out there but you can see, feel and capture outstanding moments. Excellent video.
Thanks for the memories of my homeland. Now living in Perth,Oz have not seen a frost for 10 years.
Last image my fav.Cheers
That last photo is magical. Great work!
Thanks a lot, glad you like it.
v enjoyable. i have many stunning locations on my doorstep but often go to quieter places and just wander. it develops your eye and can produce cracking photos.
love the last image the most.
I'm blaming you for my costly recent Equipment upgrades and renewing my interest in Landscape photography. I had lost interest then health issues prevented me getting out and about for a long time. Then i came across your videos by chance and my interest was renewed, i even found myself on a beach at 04:30 before sunrise. Keep the videos coming you really have inspired me to get out and about with my camera again.
Still catching up on your videos, love your videos, absolutely love the woodland ones, like this one. Thank you.
It looks like you are going deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is intimate landscape photography...
Yeah, I'm enjoying it. I'll be chopping and changing a lot I expect.
Cracking images yet again but the last is an absolute belter!
Thank You Thomas for the tip on packing away your camera cold and the codensation.risk.
Thank you for all your gifts
Some beauties there Thomas.
Another amazing video. I loved the change in getting pictures up close. Pretty cool to see you just master something else.
