    You look really shattered at the end of the video Adam, but no surprise there at all , that was a long day , a good walk up to the top " Fairy Pool " is a good workout in itself , but that climb back up to the car-park can be just as bad L.O.L. , but a cracking set of images from there ,, Ah , Elgol , well 1stly I hope that you enjoyed the drive over , its just beautiful , the scenery everywhere you look it just stunning and then you come to that moment when you come over the brow of the hill for the loch just to open up before your very eyes , just mesmerising , I loved your Images of the " Round Rock " affectionately known as the " Joe Cornish " boulder , but the Image for me was the one with the pink thrift in the foreground , that was just absolutely gorgeous , it has been well worth waiting a week to see this footage Adam , totally inspirational , thank you , Phil

    I really like that cropped shot from the Fairy Pools you ended up with. Also fun we ended up focusing on the exact same waterfall. I had to check an extra time as I had much more water when I was there :)

    Sgurr an Fheadain is the pointy hill behind the fairy pools. Sgurr Na Stri is the similar shaped hill looking from Elgol. And if you can be arsed walking the 4 miles each way and across a wide river to get to it, the 1,500ft climb up to the top affords some of the best views in all of Scotland. Thanks again for doing all the dreary editing the make this fine videos.

  • @garyives1218
    @garyives1218 3 роки тому

    15:40 At first, I thought I'd have to give it a bit of thought, but after second look I pretty quickly preferred the wider, more open perspective because the "orb" still has a commanding presence in all of it I feel. In the closer up I feel the additional lighting and prioritization of the orb is a bit harsh and does a misjustice to it's truly gorgeous surrounding. Beautiful vid. Thanks again.

  • @rerod7481

  • @davebenson1504
    @davebenson1504 4 роки тому

    The Round Rock.... I was already thinking there was another composition I liked even before you asked the question.. I like the round rock with the craggy backgrounds... and there is a pano crop that eliminates almost all the sky, keeping just the green background cliff on the right at 13:52 and again at about 14:21 the transition slides into what I like best, (although keeping a just a little bit of the cropped bottom line at these points) except in my preferred crop I would want to lighten just a little bit the distant mountains to give just a hint of texture... on my screen they look really black and almost blend into the sky... close to what you have at 15:23... but in the earlier scenes I prefer the relative size of the boulder... thank you for asking P.S. the closing shot of the seaside cottage looks like it would be a great B&B...

  • @kilohotel6750

I’ve watched yours and Gavin’s vlogs for the last 4 months now and loved the scenes on Vancouver Island in those videos wishing I could visit there one day and low and behold I will be there next year at a family wedding. My camera bag will be traveling with me for sure. Great photographs Adam as usual.

  • @lightonthelandscape
    @lightonthelandscape 5 років тому

    Smashing video again Adam. Glad the light appeared. Round rock shot: I prefer the wider angle close up of the round rock. More focused, simple. The rock and sky aren't competing for attention. However both shots are really lovely. Not sure if you're back.... finally raining here in Vancouver! We need it.

  • @AlexBerger
    @AlexBerger 5 років тому

    It's nuts. Three years ago, the pools were largely empty with a couple dozen people spread out across the area, max. Was there about when you guys were, and between the new parking lot, the various other path additions, and the hundred+ folks spread out across the valley...have to admit, I never got out of the car, turned around, and went and found some other streams elsewhere on the island. The pools themselves are so intimate, and Scotland itself is so wild - it's a challenge to experience it properly with heavy crowds. Especially with water levels so low because of the summer drought.

  • @jennifersayers8041
    @jennifersayers8041 5 років тому

    Another brilliant video Adam, you have a very calming way about your videos, always so relaxed. All beautiful images, the fairy pools are quite similar to all the wee hidden waterfalls here in Donegal, Ireland. More in bog lands and forest ones too. You and Gavin have inspired me to follow rivers up hills and I have found quite a few. So much fun to photograph. I liked the close up, simpler shot at the end, but then I like them all lol thanks for another brilliant video. 😊

  • @slowlyrusting4044
    @slowlyrusting4044 5 років тому

    Nicely done, Adam. I tend to like tighter compositions over wider ones. The old "Less is more" thing. In this case I actually find the wider composition more pleasing, though I do like the tighter composition quite a lot.

    Adam, those shots along the coast were really something. You guys were truly blessed with great subject matter and beautiful light. Those shots prove your point about the importance of light when you compare those shots to the ones from the Fairy Pools. The Fairy Pools shots were nice, but nothing like the coastal images.

    Subscribe, tick... Like...tick,.... comment,...tick. That looks to be about the best day you enjoyed on your Scottish trip Adam, The mood of both locations helped by that all important light. Have only been to Elgol twioce and both times I have drawn a blank - the 1st time I hiked up to Camasunary which is the beach you woudl have seen in the distance and I stayed in the bothy on the beach - what a wonderful experience that was. Love Skye but since my 1st visit 10 years ago the tourist boom has really exploded - I was one of just 2 cars on my 1st visit to Fairy Pools. Lovely area further down the Glen and I camped at Loch Brittle. I would have been very happy to come away with these type of images on my visits but have never had the light... for preferences I preferred the cropped almost cinematic look of the Egg of Elgol although tomorrow that opinion could change - photography as you know is like that. atb Alan

    The Egg of Elgor image (and should be titled) in my opinion is one of your top 5 this year! The light across the shot is amazing. Slowing the water down was an excellent idea not only to smooth out but to add a somewhat peaceful drama around the egg.

  • @CultureAgent
    @CultureAgent 5 років тому +1

    Hi Adam, another great video, you captured the rock textures beautifully; I did prefer the wide angel exposure mash up shot, the clouds seemed to reflect the texture of the rocks and the similarity in light made the whole scene work; the light seemed to zig zag it's way across the frame from the top left to bottom right and made your eyes absorb the grandeur all the more. The thrift shot was lovely as an ex garden photographer you made those flowers shine. Great inspiration for me, off on a trip to Loch Teacuis had to rent a cottage that I probably won't even use except for battery charging but hey ho.

    Another great video Adam. I liked the wider image of Elgol the best of the two. My OCD was bothered by the contrast of the three rock shapes being so dominant in the tighter shot. My favorite by far was the "Seathrift" shot. The light, shadow, and colors contrasted with the pink flowers just brought joy and awe to my heart.

    Hello Adam, Great images as always, in particular, the Elgol Egg. A famous walker and author Alfred Wainwright called this view of the Cuillin Mountains as the best view in the United Kingdom. Though I a Scot living in Northern Ireland - but from Edinburgh - my daughter has a B&B place at Portree, in the Ilse of Skye. You looked exhausted at the end but hopefully, with one or two liquid refreshments you will be fine...

  • @rockychocbill
    @rockychocbill 5 років тому

    Simply wonderful images Adam. The vertical crop of the waterfall was the right choice. I like both variations of the egg boulder image but the one without the bright sky matches the two that follow it, so if showing in a gallery setting I would go with that one. But maybe print the bright one larger. The sea thrift image is especially wonderful. 👍

  • @woodygreen6826
    @woodygreen6826 5 років тому

    Closer wide angle of the round rock is the best IMO. On the fist shot I might have tried a 4x5 crop and left off part of the rock on the right. Of course, I might have tried it and decided the original was better, too 😀
