    Some are keepers, some are wow, and some are DUNG!!!! But I’m old school and that’s why I love photography!!!!
    That’s why I’m in “Awe” of what you do because!!!!!! It’s in you’re eyes and heart that translate onto the images!!!! Simple and yet complex!!!!

    And that wee hike you did.... thats why I own a superzoom (24-240mm in my case). It's not super sharp, BUT, it usually gives you enough for any shot on a scouting hike... and can still print at like 30" x 20" if necessary (if a scene is epic... it's going to be "good enough"). My other option if I am being super light is my Sony RX100 VI which sports a 24-200mm equivalent - but of course its only a 1 inch sensor - so a bit more limiting. Regardless - nice when you don't want to carry a 16-35 F2.8, 24-70 F2.8 and 100-400mm on a scout. Can highly recommend having specific gear for scouting!

    Watching your video while sitting in my own van in a small village in France on a 5 week road trip is surreal. Last night I had the best dark sky I have ever exprienced in my life, seeing the milky way in a clarity and with structure that I've never seen before and this was not even the darkest place of my route. I do astrophotography and I have some equipment with me, but watching your videos encourage me to also do more landscape photography. Fun fact - I have the same or at least a similar portable fire pit with me, but the only campsite that permits a campfire so far was in Switzerland and each camp had it's own fireplace. I hope you enjoyed your trip as much as I do.

    I drove my old Focus in 2007 down a very rough road to the red sand beach in west Iceland. Only 4x4s there. Lots of stares. It was a 4x4 route, no damage done but it was a challenge. I rode the ruts and took it slow. I did take fewer "challenges" after that. A route to an old Dew Line radar station out east was toooo rough. Tooth filling rattling and so i felt discretion was the better part of valour 😂😂😂 esp when i had to get back to the uk in the same car.
    Did the iceland run again the following year, same car. Sold the car after that, with some sorrow. Probably baked bean cans now although i kept the under bonnet slam panel a mechanic broke (by leaning on it) as a souvenir 😂😂😂
