Well done, thanks!
You are welcome Mark. Many thanks for having a look. Ewan
Love how you take something that may seem ordinary and show how it is actually extraordinary
Thanks Teriterio = )
Hi Ewan: Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. I gain so much knowledge and understanding of photography through your detailed explanation behind each of your composition. I am always amazed and inspired to see how you dissect the environment in order to compose your powerful images. Thanks for sharing the memories of your childhood. Lighthouses are such magical and important structures to coastal communities. Keep well . . . Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Hey Keith. Great to hear from, you are welcome. Best wishes, Ewan
Big E, you get all the good conditions sea spray in the air due to the wind, I can only dream of such conditions on the calm shores of the Firth 🤣 That reminds me of the east side of the inter coastal in Florida, sadly before I used a camera. You'd previously mentioned North Ron and I assumed a lighthouse tale, that looked like you watched great light move over that red bricks! Very nice. As was the rest of the video as usual, even the Simon booth impersonation. Cheers for taking us along.
LOL, thanks Andrew. Good to have you along. Ewan
Another great video Ewan...thanks for inspiring us all in your own special way...Rob in Inverness...
Thanks Rob. Appreciate your support. Regards, Ewan
I saw something I wanted to photograph with my panoramic camera, went home to set everything up and come back the next day. Then on the next day it had all been dug/bulldozed up... That's not happened to me since the 80's.
Awwww. Thats such a shame. That has happened to me one time before too. I try and have a cmera with me most of the time these days. Ewan
Great video Ewan, you photographing in shorts, a I’ve just dried out after shooting in the rain 😊
LOL, yes, I dont shoot in shorts very much. Was simply on account of the 90 degrees heat! Pheww! Best wishes, Ewan
Another awesome video Ewan. Thank You for the wisdom, knowledge and entertainment you share so freely with us.
Hey Andrew. You are welcome. Appreicate your continued support. Ewan
Nice to see you back Ewan, lovely subtle sunrise image. Best wishes for your new venture and also nice that you will continue your photography business 👍
I just want to let you know that I enjoy your videos tremendously. God speed with your new enterprise.
Thank you very much indeed, and I am glad you enjoy them! Regards, Ewan
Thank you Ewan, very inspiring. I do love photographing and enjoying sunrises because it's the beginning of a new day.
Thanks Ross. Its a pleasure to shoot sunrises... once you are there of course! LOL Hope you are well. Regards Ewan
Ewan - Great to see you back! Thank You for providing the inspiration to get out there - I went off to the National Park around this time last year after watching one of your videos, I found myself standing in a field, just off the Desert Road at 5:30am in -8 degree temperatures, waiting for the sun to come up and drift over and paint the mountains in front of me it was epic! Thank You!! Good Luck with the new business venture! and I can't wait to see the next video. Cheers!
Hey there. Thats great to to here and its good to be back. this tiny little channel only ever to set out to inspire one person... and everything else was a bonus! Glad you got that shot. Worth the wait huh!? Ewan
Please dont stop your photography and videos, will be interested in seeing your passive house when done.
Thanks Steve. Im going to try and keep them going form here on in... for as long as I can. Its a good way to connect with people like yourself! Ill be doing a vlog series on the passive build and we are trying to get onto the Grand Designs program. Best wishes - Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages grand designs would be awesome
@@stevemeier7876 - sure would. We shall keep fingers crossed.
Always love getting notified of one of your videos going live You’re the only photographer I have notifications off and always a joy to watch and learn As a pano guy I always wonder why you use a ball head over geared head but guessing it’s just what your used to Like me trying capture one after Lightroom for years It maybe better I’m just comfortable in what we know Thanks for sharing as usual. One day I’ll get back to nz and would love to meet up Adrian
Hi Adrian. Lovely to hear form you. I appreciate your kind comments and your support. I am pretty old school and as ive always had ball heads... ill probably always have ballheads - LOL Just like my next camera purchase will be mirrored rather than a mirrorless platform with evf. Would be lovely to catch up. Let me know if you get back! Ewan
Gorgeous image Ewan and again a really engaging video. All the best with the new business venture and if you do run a workshop in Scotland, count me as a booking. I'm heading to Harris and Lewis in early September and I'd love to go back to Scotland next year and have the opportunity to learn from you. All the best.
Hey Tony, many thanks for your comment, support and encouragement. I was thinkning that Harris migt be the location for the workshop, if not Torridon Area. I just need to settle on a date. September is always problematic for getting bookings for accoodation for groups though. I usually only do 3 spaces on each workshop, but for an overseas one like this would have to open it up to eight or so, so as to make it financiqlly worthwhile (flights etc form NZ) Sure would be nice to have you along though. Speak soon. Ewan
Nice to see you out again taking photographs, I love your style of presentation and explanation of what/why/How. I did go to the South island of NZ a couple of weeks ago, (6th time)...such a stunning place to be with my camera. Always trying to remember to enjoy the place and not just capture and image. Just starting to process some of the images. Yes, you are going to be very busy indeed, make sure you continue to photographe beautiful images as a therapy from the rigors of building houses. I spent 25+ years renovating my home when I had the time & funds, it's exhausting indeed. Like you say ... take care, keep shooting, have fun....looking forward to your next VLOG
Hey Phil, great to hear from you and that you had a nice time in nz. I would love to see what you got. Can you flick me an email - ewan@ewandunsmuirimages.com - would love to see your top 3! Hope you wouldnt mind. Ill need photography to get myself off site i reckon. Looking at a new Phase One system as well, whereby that will ensure i dont waste that amount of money. Best wishes. Speak soon, Ewan
Beautiful! Thank you,
Thanks very much. Appreciate your support. Regards, Ewan
Love how the clouds almost echo the rocks perfectly at 17:45. Wonderful video Ewan. Just curious about the strap that hangs off your camera on the tripod. Does that ever impact the stability even slightly?
Hi there. I am SO GLAD you noticed that. I actually meant to narrate that in, but forgot. Really weird huh, as all of the rocks echo the foreground, particularly the one with the hump and the hook shaped rock. Its just a wrist strap, which i keep on there if im shooting with cold fingers, and i need to take it off the tripod. It doesnt actually, as the tripod is so heavy duty, nothing will move it when set up! I appreciate your support and question! = ) Regards, Ewan
Thanks, Ewan, felt as though I was there in the process.
Thats awesome. Thats exactly the feeling im trying to convey by the smallest of things, like slowing my speech to the speed of when i do do workshops, and just be myself... all chilled. Thanks for coming along. Ewan
Hi Ewan, thank you for another "little vacation"! Always relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Thanks again for your incredible work! ...it's simply inspiring...
Hey Thomas. Many thanks man. Good to have you along, and you are welcome.Kind regards, Ewan
Love the content Ewan. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
Thanks Don. Glad you enjoy it. It is actually great ot get feedback as they are so much work to make, and you k=never know... util you post them. Kind regards Ewan
Hi Ewan: As always, I enjoy watching your videos. The calmness in which you share your thought behind creating your images is very powerful. I am planning on spending the month of May 2025 in Scotland, so I would be interested in knowing when you are planning your workshops. Keep well and best of luck in your new business endeavours. Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Hey Keith. I really appreciate your continued and long lasting support. Always good to see your name popping up in the comments. Re next year, there is no better month than another in Scotland as the chances of getting wet are always high! Im thinking May or June as ill just need to commit to a date. This is out of peak season and so accomodation is easier and cheaper to get, as well as having locations to fewer numbers. Was thinking in and around Torridon or on the isle of Harris. Keep in touch on it. Ill be sure to advertise it on FB, as well as mention it here. Thanks man. Regards, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImagesgreat news about possible Scotland workshop. I recently visited your website wondering what your workshop schedule might look like but it only runs to 2022. I don’t do FB so please keep updates on this channel too. I’m resident near Oban where we seem to have had one of the wettest summers on record. Great to see you back. Really appreciate all the time it takes to do this work. Best, Duncan
@@kraznayaploshad Hey Duncan. I was silly enough all these years ago to do a website which wasnt a drag and drop site, but everything coded, which has provided some issues in changing the website and its content. Business relationship breakdown led to lack of development between myself and the provider/ I need to redo it with wix or squarespace or something, where I can easily update info etc. Ill keep this page posted with developments on WSs, but if you send me an email on ewan@ewandunsmuriimages.com I can mark your email where i will also specifically send you emails on ws in Scotland, as i have quite a bit of interest in one. = ) thanks for reaching out ! Regards, Ewan
Well that was a treat wasn’t it. Back where I think you really belong. Shooting beautiful vistas. Soothing as ever to watch too. Interesting how you chose a frame with less full on red colour than what the video suggested you would end up revealing. It just goes to show that shouty photos just ain’t your thing. I love the subtlety in what you processed. It feels peaceful and not something you would tire of looking at.
Hey Simon, thanks for checking on buddy. It felt good to do this one, being back in my environment. I like the phrase shouty photos. In many ways I think this comes back to shooting your shots relative to your output... mine being large prints to be hung up. I agree that you do tire of shots which are too loud, too colourful and they can be too dominant when hung, which is why i do what i do and probably how i waited until this point to take the shot! Comes back in some way to that big f11 video i did all these years ago. = ) Hope you are well Simon. Might catch you in Harris later this year as i may be there at the same time! Ewan
It's a great day when a Ewan Dunsmuir video comes up in my notifications! Loved the video Ewan, and the photograph, which I reckon is just the right revenge on those beach bullies who thought that size mattered. Good luck with the new venture and I look forward to learning from and enjoying your next video.
Slow and nice video showcasing the entire process of making images in the dawn. Actually sun does not rise, it never rise. It is the earth that moves towards the sun. Nice image too.
Hello. Many thanks for your support and your interaction. Yeah, the pharse is one which has been used for eternity and probably started before people understood how the solar system works. It has been been continued to be used, probably in lieu of some other word... where im not sure what that word would be! Best wishes, Ewan
Love that your videos are infrequent so a bit unexpected when they turn up.
Hey there. Yeah... not on purpose though. LOL Life is busy and i spend hours and hours producing these with v complicated timelines, so just don't have the space to do frequent ones. I would like to, but would possibly struggle for content too. Its a difficult balance. Best wishes, Ewan
BTW, there is not such a bird as a Seagull, they are Gulls and then different types of Gulls... but no Seagulls.
Hey Dennis. I think i have had this said to me before, but as an islander, I have always called them seagulls, and probably always will. I think if we did a straw pole on Orkney, Shetland, or some other islands, the results would be overwhelming. I do reflect on the previous occasion, that they get 'called' seagulls by people probably as there are gulls, which live on the sea and its fruits, rather than scavengers who live on the land. Regards, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages, I am an islander as well, Vancouver Island on the west coast of British Columbia, and growing up I also called them Seagulls. But.... was informed by a person that there was no such bird. I checked it out and was disappointed to discover there wasn't such a bird. The Gull family is made up of many different varieties. Cheers.
@@DennisBater - yeah, first time, I checked and was disappointed too! = )
Nice to see you back & working your magic with the landscape
Thanks Michael. Lovely thing to say and appreciate your support. Regards, Ewan
Great video again Ewan , I’ve had a few health issues this summer fingers crossed i can get back to getting out at stupid o’clock and doing this
Sorry to hear about your health David. Look after yourself. Hope you get back out there soon, and thansk for the support. Ewan
The hours I spent surfing that beach as a lad. The mount is not what I remember it, all the apartments built up, wooden walkways but 40yrs has passed and its nice to see it through photographers eyes.
Hey Tony, yeah it has changed quite a bit over time indeed, some for the better, some possibly not. Would love to have seen it back in the good old days. Regards, Ewan
Hi Ewan. Taking pictures in the early morning also has the advantage that there are almost no people around. I really liked your video. Best greeting from Germany! Gerd.
Hey Gerd, yeah me too. Not many people awake at 530am. Love it. Regards, Ewan

15 years ago i stood there in miserable weather, did not even take my camera out. So i look with great interest and a bit jealous to your wonderful work and presentation, Ewan.
Many thanks indeed. Yeah, I wouldve kept the camera in the bag too if it were raining. Its a lovely spot though! Regards, Ewan
Great vlog Ewan...superb image as well...good luck with the new business venture.
Morning Tim. Thanks... and thanks. Ill be doing video diaries with that too (if i get time). Ewan
Hi Evan good to see You back. Love ur work. Got a Q: do U always shoott 180 degrtees to sun or just at clear skyes?
Morning Dominik. I usually try to shoot in the opposite direction to get these more gentle colours, caused by science. The direction or angle in relation to the sun will be determined by the scene, my position in relation to that and where the best colour for my scene is. It is certainly in that sphere though, which is in the opposite direction of the sun. Hope that helps. Regards, Ewan
Great video and as you mentioned what amazing colours, that were worth the effort of getting up early to capture them. Look forward to more coming. Take care.
Morning Marc. Sure was and having been there to take that photo before, its different every day, which is awesome. You never knpw what you are going to get! = ) Regards, Ewan
Ewan, these two videos have been a wonderful journey into Travel Photography. One significant difference between Landscape and Travel Photography is the lack of time that is available to capture/create the image. I find that often times I only have a few minutes to capture an image vs. re-visiting the same location time and time again to capture the image in the best lighting and environmental condition. To me, that is one of the most gratifying aspects of Travel Photography. I really enjoyed both videos, and I can't wait to see how you incorporate your learning into your next Landscape Photography sessions. Keep well. Cheers, Keith (Canada)
yeah, i agree. Im looking forward to rhe next time out in landscape with time on my side! I found it tough but atually enjoyed the process of it, and learned as much again, by producing the video! Thanks Keith. Ewan
Hi Ewan: I another wonderful and thought provoking video. I must admit that I have been trapped on the treadmill of camera system replacement a few times over the years. That being said, I also make sure that I have sufficient time and resources to travel aboard to capture images. Travelling is the single best tool that a photographer has in developing their artistic vision. We recently spent some time in Scotland/The Shetland Islands, Norway and Iceland and these travels have opened up more creativity for me that one could image. I am looking forward to Part II of this video. Keep well. . . Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Thanks for your interaction here Keith and your thoughts! I agree that the cucle of gear replacement is incredibly quick and no longer are camera manufacturers wanting to producr the best camera, but rather to make money form the quick recycling of models - i cite the recent R5 mk2. There is negligible, and indiscernible difference to both platforms - which should in turn have us rely on other things within photographic evolution. Sadly though in many cases it dies. Travel wins every time i reckon! Best wishes, Ewan
Loved this video Ewan… I lm predominately a landscape and wildlife photographer but i love the challenge of going urban from time to time… always takes a day or two to find my eye and i find with urban photography its very similar to wildlife… u have to react to fleeting moments… i also find it much easier to simplify my kit… 3 basic little primes… 16mm, 35mm and 85mm prime only… you just draw attention to yourself with big kit bag and its just a hassle lugging it about… with this im just a wee crossbody bag, bottle of water and ur off… i generally always walk and go via coffeeshops to stop and observe, refresh and pee… then go out and shoot again!
HI there, yes, its certainly challenging and i think i did the same thing here just with my vlogging c size sensor in lieu of the medium format stuff, to both simplify my gear, but also reaffirm the point that you dont need to keep advancing with your gear choices. I was still a little self conscious though. Glad the vid made sense and you could relate to it! Best wishes, Ewan
Thoroughly enjoyed both of your latest videos. We had a chance to visit Vienna and Bratislava a couple years ago and your lovely photos brought back many wonderful memories. By the way……my wife and I love your daughter’s music, such a lovely voice. Mark from Atlanta, Georgia.
Thanks Mark, good to have you along for the ride and reminding you of some of these places in your previous visits to Europe. Thanks for checking out Freyjas stuff. Ill get to work with her on getting her stuff out there more. im sure she will appreciate your traffic. Best wishes, Ewan
Hey Ewan! I hope you're well mate. I just got home from Euro I hope you had a great time. Is the drone photography yours!? Love the video!
Hey Peter - it woulda been funny if i had met you over there in some randomplace. Hope you ahd a good time. Aweoms part of the world huh!? Nah, the opening drone footage - stock
2 in a week, this is a treat! Thank you😊

Hey Andrew Thanks very much man. Her music is on apple music, Spotify etc, but she is going to officially studio record some of them and formalise her portfolio them in the next little while. Regards, Ewan
You're most welcome. Cool I'll have a look on Spotify. I look forward to your next video.
@@andrewwheatley8973 I notice she has taken much of her stuff off of on line in spotify, possibly as she is looking to improve the quality of production. Ill chase her up on it though!
Thank you for this follow up Euan; you continue to inspire by stretching yourself. I love the way that you really exercised all your powers of observation to pull great images out of these cityscapes. That tales real talent, and is a powerful lesson. And all this inside a week!
Thanks bob, yes it was certainly a big ask to do that inside a week with two 27 hour flights on either end. What was i thinking. First time to these three places and wonderful to do. Really enjoyed it and thanks for your interaction. Best wishes, Ewan
Thanks Ewan, for taking us on your jorney! And your skills as a "street" and an architecture photographer are at the same high level as in landscape. Very good pictures!
Thanks very much Thomas. Ill need to get back into my normal stuff now that Im back in NZ again! Kind regards Ewan
Ewan Dunsmuir videos are like buses, you don't see one for ages then two come at once and like buses in a foreign city, they take on a journey of discovery. On the theme of gear, I'm working on a long-term project to take one picture a day while I'm walking my dog, Ollie. I listen to music on my iPod touch while walking Ollie and began to use its camera as record of the things I see. The project has evolved from this and I'm now making prints (albeit small ones) with surprising quality from the small JPEGS. I was listening to Billie Holiday last night and I'm struck by the similarity in tone of Freyja's voice. Bloody hell, Freyja's talented, you must be very proud. I've subscribed to Freyja's channel. Another great choice of music too, I love Pachelbel's Canon, one of my favourite pieces. Thanks for your kind words in reply to my comment on your last video. All the best.
Thanks Tony, LOL - i know right!? tow vids from me on two months is a lot. Good re the project and thanks for the subscription on Freyja's stuff. Her music writing is sooo damn good and i love her tone. She hot a National award for some of it a couple of years ago. Thanks again.. Take care and regards, Ewan
Really enjoyed these two videos Ewan, it was nice to see how you brought your eye for landscapes into a different genre, really inspiring. Particularly liked the image with the reflections in the glass and the one of the lamppost, the simplicity and symmetry really worked nicely. Completely agree with spending money on travel rather than gear upgrades too, far better value! S
Hey Sam, nice to here from you. I really enjoyed the process, albeit, it took a few days to get into it. I have a bit of travel planned over the next 12 months... States, Portugal, END, Scotland maybe and goodness knows where else. Hope you are both well. Regards, Ewan
Another awesome video Ewan. I love the way your videos expand my mind, and that is a good thing. Awesome also to hear your daughters talent in with yours.
Hey Andrew. Many thanks indeed. It expands MY mind too, trying to put them together, but conversely, they really make you think about what you are trying to say, and in doing so... solidifies the thought process. This is why they take me so dang long to produce. These last two, took about 3 weeks.. Good to be able to help Freyja a little too. Best wishes Andrew, Ewan
That was a bizarrely soothing episode Ewan. I’m not sure how to articulate what I mean…I generally dread going to any populated place but you see it so uniquely and through your eyes, I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. Absolutely loved the glass window shot. I just woke up to see you posted another and kept your word to post within the week. I’m going to grab a coffee and watch that now 👍
Hey Simon... LOL a bizarrely soothing episode. I know what you mean though. I just had to blank everyone out and i got caught out a couple of times, pointing the vid camera onto some people. Oops! Hope you are well mate. Me, you, Arran, next October. Should only be us there! Hope you are well mate - we will catch up soon huh!?
It will be interesting to see how or if your recent trip has any effect on how you ‘see’ or look at your landscapes.
Hey Mark, yeah, Im looking forward to give it a test. I have been noticing that it has changed the way... or renewed the way at least i see the landscapes. We will find out pretty soon i guess. Regards, Ewan
