As always thanks for explaining your thought process, you're a good teacher. Glad you used the fence in a couple of the compositions. I noticed it over your shoulder early on and thought it might make a good lead-in line!
Always great to hear you run through your thought process and how you arrive at a composition. Looks a great location maybe ill get there one day but this year its Wales and next year hopefully Ireland but Scotland is always beckoning.
As always a brilliant video, I learn so much when you talk us through your thought patterns. I would never have thought of using a ND filter showing grass movement in the wind, it looks much more effective than closing down you aperture for a shorter period. I also like seeing how a photographer with a CV like yours faces challenges. Thank you very much for showing that, and for me version 3 works the best.
Brilliant vlog, I have been out with a couple of photographers/vloggers lately and a few of them are considering moving over to Micro 4/3rd, but are unsure of the quality. I have pointed them in the way of your channel hopefully that will dispel any doubts!
Great stuff and one of my favourite places to visit. Stunning coastline and scenery. There's an old nuclear bunker as well you can access near the campsite that I have been in if you know where to look ;) just back from Harris so doing a vlog on that myself and if you have not been I recommend it as it is 100 times better than Assynt if that's possible :)
Another great video Craig! I always love watching you work and figure out how to get around the challenges you are facing. As you have mentioned in previous videos you don't love shooting sunrise/sunset light and prefer side morning/evening light. How long do you shoot for in the morning before you call it quits because the sun is too high and too hard of a light source? Or roughly how many degrees? Just wondering because I love to shoot but I'm not really a morning person and our sunrises are at 5:30 AM until August so it makes it tough to get up that early when I work a regular job too. I would also like to practice side lighting like this since for practice too. The sunrise/sunset thing is getting a bit overdone at times and I'd like to capture something different too.
Assynt is beautiful but I have have to agree with Renegade Scot, see Harris and die, you're already in Heaven! If you don't want to go so far north then Argyle is a hidden gem of the southern Highlands that most tourists bypass on the way up past Loch Lomond. We keep telling you English that it rains in Scotland all the time...to keep you away; it worked on the Romans ;-)
Just a thought, why not publishing a book with your landscape pictures with some information, it might help students learning photography. One picture as it is and same picture you can mark leading lines and composition. In a Ebook you also may can insert your video teachings you doing in you tube. 🌞🍎🌻
Very inspirational video. Funny: If one crops out the lower 60-66% of your vertical shots, they are great compositions! ("Foreground" is not the ground in front of your feet but the nearest part in a picture -- could be miles away...). Nonetheless it was a great inspiration, I watched the video a couple of times.
I hope you rescued your camera otherwise we might have to wait a bit longer for your next video! I wish that I could visualise good images instead of just taking ordinary "snaps".

Obviously great minds think alike!
I liked Version Two a lot as well. Thanks for walking us through all of this Craig, I always learn something!
I like how you present your thought process! And yes, version 3!
I'm used to blue skies without clouds down here in Australia, Craig. Always look forward to whatever you present.
Looks a very productive site for photography here. You explain your thought processes so well - it's one of the main things I enjoy in your videos.
Cheers Paul
Always enyoing your explanations of the shots.
Version 3 - and - as ever, great explanations!!
Always great to hear you run through your thought process and how you arrive at a composition. Looks a great location maybe ill get there one day but this year its Wales and next year hopefully Ireland but Scotland is always beckoning.
We all like cloudy skies but you've made the most of what you got 👌
Yep I agree version 3 is my favourite another great watch cheers Craig 😃👍
Some nice shots ..I alawys likethe shadow and the demention of the rocks and the way the light dances on them ...later Gary

Great work. shot 3 was my favourate.
Great shots, good vlog.
All great images, liked #3 also.
I agree, version 3 probably my favorite. However I'd would of been more than happy if I'd taken any of them. Another great vlog.
Thanks Charles
Liked the way you explained the compositions in the vlog, some good some bad like you said. I liked number 3 best as well it had more grunt to it.
Glad I am not the only person who is not fussed on blue skies... making the most of the situation though Craig.
Nice work Craig, great watch mate.

Renegade Scot Is that the isle of Harris? I had seen one of Thomas Heaton's vlogs from there and it looked amazing.
Yes the Isle of Harris / Lewis. One amazing place to visit and hope my trip Vlog does it justice in a few weeks.
Sorry for the blue sky ! lol may be try again in the winter ,you might have a big black cloud . No matter what, great to watch your video. 👍

Only an hour or two after sunrise usually, but it depends on location and situation.
Perfect thanks for the tip!
Version 3 is also my favorite
Definitely version 3. Good call.

One step ahead of you Ravi! See my website for details of my ebooks

for what it worths, I like version 1 better. Carry on the good work regardless of skies :-))

Really a shame to have blue sky every day. Maybe you should travel to Great Britain. They say, that it's always cloudy and rainy there ...
