    Wow, what a creatively inspiring video, some truly epic images and the combination of your real life commentary, the drone footage and the music make for great entertainment.
    I am officially addicted, keep on Adrian

    Usually, 20 minutes is enough, but that was the best 56 minute photography video I’ve ever watched. When it finished, I wanted more.

      @@aowsYou're welcome! Question: I tried to create an image yesterday and get that creamy overcast sky, but I don't have an ND filters. So, that long exposure didn't work. Question is, what range of ND is necessary and would a variable ND be sufficient? Thanks!!

    • @aows
      @aows  Рік тому +1

      @@charliejg it depends on how long you want your exposures to be. To give you an idea, a 6-stop ND filter will take a 1 second exposure to 1 minute. But getting a 1 second exposure can be very tricky, even using base ISO and a very small aperture, especially on brigth-ish days. Try to get to that 1 second exposure with your camera / lens, you might have to go to f/22 or beyond. That's why I have another 2 ND filters, a 10 and a 15 stop. The 10 will take a 1/15 exposure to that same 1 minute. And a 15 stop will take a 1/500 exposure to 1 minute. 1/500 is more realistic, even in bright days, and that's how I'm able to get 1, 2, 4, 8 or even longer long exposures during the day. Hope this helps.

    The path down to Talisker Bay just gave me nightmare flashbacks. The day i went it was so windy the waterfall on the far cliffs was going upwards, and the wind blew my tripod over and broke a lens. That was not a happy evening.

    • @aows
      @aows  Рік тому +1

      Ugh, I can see that. Scotland can have some rough weather, but I experience the worst on the western Isles, especially Harris but also Skye. It can get so windy that it's scary. I'm sorry to hear about your lens... I dropped a few things on this trip myself, thankfully didn't break a lot.

      Glad you enjoyed the video, Richard! I love photography the most when it's challenging but not overwhelming, when the weather pushes you but still gives you a window of opportunity, when you are about to lose faith but somehow manage to make an image you could dream of hours earlier. It's not easy, but it's totally worth it. Scotland did push me quite a bit, and I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for coming along, there are still a few more videos from this beautiful country.

    Hi Adrian, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the beautiful Isle of Skye, what a great place you visited. I liked those Pebble rocks at the beach of elgol, and those small puddles and rock on the left with that long exposure image.I also liked the lighthouse especially in Black and White. It was nice to hear those Bagpipes and i learned something new about the Bagpipes, and the association with Spain. Those Damn Midges they are everywhere you can't escape them, at least they didn't stop you from taking great images. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. 😃
