    Great video, despite the challenging conditions! Two things bring me to the comments section today...
    1) You've called yourself out about complaining a fair bit over the past 12-18 months. In these recent videos I feel like you're dealing with horrible weather and/or challenging conditions, and not a complaint to be heard 👍
    2) I'm really liking the image recap / slideshow you've started to do at the end of the video. Nice way to wrap things up, and personally I enjoy seeing the images a second time...especially back-to-back, which I find gives me a sense of place and a good feel for how the photography went overall.

    It's amazing to think that when you look at a landscape image in print you often have no idea of the lengths the photographer went to to capture that image. I realise that more and more as I watch your videos. Even being in the right place at the right time to capture a double rainbow wasn't quite like that. It was as a result of perseverence and hardship in horrendous conditions and I admire each of you all the more for that. I'll never again view your images without also knowing the effort it may have taken to capture them. All the more so because my camera stayed with me in a warm house during the recent storm!This is why you've reached 500k. Brilliant work.

    Man, you are an absolute machine, the amount of work to put these videos on is not a joke, it is a one man crew, an army of one man, I really don’t know how you can do if and consistently. I guess the need of a financial stability comes to mind as it is not easy to be a photographer nowadays outside of UA-cam, but even to succeed on UA-cam is not an easy task by all means.
    People that criticize your photography are missing the point, we all have our preferences, they should appreciate the sheer amount of work you are putting in to bring us entertainment.
    Once again thank you and I always remember to click the thumbs up 👍🏻 before I leave.

    Wow those magic arms/suction cup setup is awesome. Might have to get something like those as I’ve always felt like the driving scenes were the most difficult to capture well (and safely!). The first scene with the light beaming through the clouds was beautiful.

    Tom got some great shots as usual, but Paul’s shot is really awesome. Amazing how 2 photographers working in close proximity can get such varying results just based on what they were seeking out. Makes you realize how a location can have more potential than you’d initially think and different photographers unlock different aspects. Really liked this video

    Thomas is a well known photographer, but I always believe his true talent is documentary Videography, or story telling.
    I am not discrediting his photography skill, but I would bet he is more videographer than photographer at heart.
    His photos are absolutely beautiful, but his videos are outstanding.

  • @iKeto_gal

    Serious question and perhaps a ignorant one, where do you poop while you're on the road for that length of time out in the woods? The set up on your camper is great but if you need the loo for number 2, what is the set up if any?

    These types of trips/conditions always produce some of the best images and stories, and are certainly a lot of fun to capture, but man is it difficult! I guess that’s what adds to the reward…

    Great video again Tom.
    To quote Mike Lane (wildlife photographer and UA-camr) " the photographer who goes out in the rain doesn't get as wet as the photographer who stays at home thinks he will". You certainly made the most of the conditions and it looks like you were really enjoying yourself.

  • @peterfritzphoto

    Marvellous, marvellous, bloody marvellous! That shot of the small tree grouping is subtle perfection - the layers of light and shape are just delicious. And bravo, Paul, on a stupendous shot! Oh, and congratulations on your half-mil milestone, Thomas. You sure as hell deserve it. :-)

    Welcome to Scottish Highland photography, Thomas! We go out and get every kind of weather thrown at us, but like you, we just put our head down and push on through. So glad you got some great images out of this, and as always came away smiling. Love your channel.

  • @Kim_Miller
    @Kim_Miller 3 роки тому

    Scotland in that weather is beautiful. I'm an Aussie but lived in the UK for a few years with my wife and son. We had a little Ford Escort popup camper, which was tall enough for anyone to stand up in when the top was up. We headed to Scotland for a week late in October and the weather turned stormy. Somewhere up near Cape Wrath (great name for that kind of weather) we stopped at a village and had to reverse the van into a space between two shops as the wind would have blown the doors off had we tried to open them out in the street. There was no way we could camp in that weather as the van would have toppled over so we found a B and B. When we got there the wind was so strong that it picked up our six year old son and blew him across the ground like a cartwheeling teddy bear. I had to go chasing after him and carry him inside.
    We fell in love with that wild stormy landscape and still have holiday snaps that take me back there.

    It makes my day watching your videos, you make such good quality content im always falling over myself to make a brew and watch your latest video when i get the notification on my phone that you have uploaded. Well done to Paul for catching that stunner of a shot and Adams face in that storm was priceless not to mention the spooning comment. I was in stitches.

  • @groggu

    I absolutely love how three very talented artist-photographers share their journey and their secrets and leave their egos somewhere deep in those rocky crags you all step over. I think this only helps to make you all better artists; this harkens back to when all the impressionist/cubist artists, like Piccaso and Rivera, would hang out at a dingy French cafe and discuss what they were doing. So cooool. Thank you again for such an awesome video - take care and be safe out there....

    Love those crap weather days with a glimmer of hope for a good shot. It’s about the adventure. I would definitely want to have my own van rather than sharing, but bunking together in a small van could also be fun. Great shot Paul. A reward for a sleepless night on the uncomfortable car seats.
