      one remark though .. all over Scotland's beautiful places you hear drones. In the Netherlands where I live a lot of places have drone restrictions.

    "Manfrotto gone Manflotto"..I admire your ability to get some humour out of the dissa of losing your tripod Karl. Drone shot looked great though! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Great drone shots Karl. Ive already lost a drone in a waterfall so you're braver than me. Tough about the tripod though.

    Brilliant catch up Karl. Absolutely lovely video matey. Look forward to the next catch up. No doubt will see you out and about in Glencoe. Brave with that drone. Happy Tripod hunting, Any excuse eh! 😂

      Thanks Cliff. Yep. Ended up with 3 legged thing and delighted with it. What a plonker I am.

    At 4.37 I made the mistake of going down the river under the fallen tree, I ended up very wet, just saved my camera, it was like the lady in the lake holding the sword.

      Yep, probably the Devil up to his tricks.

      The other entrance is also good, a bit safer too. Check my you tube for Finnich Glen the Devil's Pulpit part 2

    All 3 vlogs where great, you're a brave man getting the drone up, i like how Cliff and Paul used your footage but you need to get back to Paul and say "that'll be 20 quid please" he will understand! My dog knocked my vlogging tripod off a rock into a river recently, i got it back but my Osmo Pocket and Rode mic where attached to it, the mic is dead and the Osmo only works if it has a power source connected to it so you are a lucky man, nice film!

    Nice change of location for you in this video Karl, pity about the tripod. Any excuse to buy a new toy😜

    Loved the images. Pity about the tripod. Perhaps a Leofoto Tripod.

    Bad luck with the tripod Karl. If you want to retain the leg locks then it's another Manfrotto or ifootage - I have a TC7 fastbowl. Your video answers one question i had. I visited there in March 2022 and a big tree had fallen onto the side of the pulpit which really messed up the compositions I could shoot. Looks like a lot of the smaller stuff has gone but the big trunk remains but it didn't seem to impact on the scene quite so much. When I was there the water was much less but I was still glad I took waders i can tell you. Also was there no rope on the staircase? There was when I went and it was very useful. Given how much wetter it was when you visited not sure I'd have made it down/up without the rope at times. I remember thinking that I would not want to go down in freezing conditions as the path would be treacherous. I also found it sad that when I went there was so much litter people had dropped. maybe when you went the washed it away. Lovely location but definitely too many visiting that do not care for the location and think the locals feel the landowner is trying to use the proposed improvements to the staircase & parking as a way of developing his land more than necessary. I heard there were local tensions. Anyway, well done for the video.

      The trees are a shame and I will be honest I removed them digitally in both images as in the end felt they detracted from the photo. Someone with a chainsaw needs to do some tidying up. I had heard the there were some local tensions. It's the old problem of over tourism but something needs to be done. Thankfully there was no litter anywhere.

    unlucky bout the tripod, maybe once the water level drops it will reappear. great wee spot that's been ruined over the years, did you find the hidden falls not that far from the pulpit?

    • @glencoephotography1
      @glencoephotography1  Рік тому

      Thanks for watching. No we didn’t see the hidden falls. The water level was so high we could only get to the first section. Will be back though. 🤞🤞

    Oh man! So lucky you didn’t have a camera attached to the tripod.
    Even though I’m “Accessible Photography” I did get myself down those horrendous steps. Is the rope still in place to help you?
    My first trip there I took myself to the wrong end of the gorge by following a track across the fields. It was nice as well but not as dramatic as the pulpit itself. Great image you got. Was it focus stacked and if not what f stop did you use because it was just so clear.

    • @glencoephotography1
      @glencoephotography1  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching. The rope has been taken away I am afraid. The steps were very slippy so not for the faint hearted. I pretty much focus stack everything nowadays as I love sharp images throughout.
