    Just a dream ! Just imagine camper vanning on Glen Muick that just something in itself.Great photos of the red deer and snow in May ! But it looks beautiful. Nice van you have. Plus it’s great to see that you are meeting up with fellow photographer Richard I follow him on his channel too it’s always a good watch. Really looking forward to the other two parts in this amazing place. Thank you for sharing your photographic adventures. Enjoy !

    Superb video Espen, the music and pictures were superb! I felt as if I was on the journey with you, my son and wife watched along too and now they want a camper van, lol... I'm keen on that, looks such a cool way to do things, burger and a beer is the only way to roll, not sure on the mustard though mate, lol.. Looking forward to Pt 2. Al the best Richard 😀

    I must admit it is very tempting to get a van, especially if I lived up in Scotland ! Unfortunately it is very common around here now, but hope to grab a bargain one soon ! Far too many on the roads here in Southern England. Great to see Richard has made a visit from down here, it's about as far as we can go at the moment. I have Scotland pencilled in for 2022. Gorgeous Red deer photos great vlog 👍😍

    Hi Espen
    Another good watch role on the next.
    Thinking of swapping over to mirror less are you still using the 100-400 with the om1x.
    Using the D500 with the 300 2.8 vrii at the moment but struggling to hold it up for short periods with a bad shoulder so think it’s time to go lighter.
    Cheers
    Shane

    • @EspenHelland

      No, that was just a loaner from Olympus. I got the 300 f4 and 40-150 f2.8 and a 1.4x

    Awesome shots as always! Headed over your way and really would like to find deer. I live in the southern appalachians in the US and our whitetail deer are great to photograph, but I'd really like to get a chance to get some photos of the deer in Scotland. I'll have a short day through Cairngorm park, but more time on Skye and Glencoe area. Any recommendations on best possible location other than Cairngorm Nat'l park? Your tips and videos have helped me improve and looking forward to trying new skills in Scotland at the end of June. Thanks.

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  Рік тому +1

      Awesome to hear Greg. Lots of deer in Scotland, the easiest place to photograph them is probably Glencoe, and down Glen Etive, I hear their almost tame there. They can be tricky out on most hills as they run away from people and the hills are mostly bare of trees.

      @EspenHelland  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Erik! I use my em1x with 300 f4 sometimes with the 1.4x for close ups or when I just walk around taking opportunistic photos. I use my em1ii with the 40-150 for more environmental images and filming or if wildlife comes really close, and I use the em1ii with the 12-40 f2.8 for vlogging as well.

  • @esjovold6572
    @esjovold6572 3 роки тому +1

    When you are out on a run or ride looking for areas to photography do you ever use a GPS unit like a Garmin to waypoint them for future? Also do you geotag your photos, I find that handy for my pictures to look back later and see where they were taken.

    • @EspenHelland
      @EspenHelland  3 роки тому +1

      I don't actually geotag my photos, probably should though. Sometimes I add it after in Lr. I use Outdoor GPS on my phone, with a subscription I can download OS maps all over to UK and use them offline and mark places and make notes :)
