  • Deep within the heart of the Scottish Highlands lies a hidden gem, a place of enchantment and ethereal beauty - Puck's Glen. Nestled amidst towering Douglas Fir trees, this enchanting gorge is a photographer's paradise, offering a captivating blend of cascading waterfalls, verdant moss-covered rocks, and sunbeams streaming through the emerald canopy.

    Wow Paul, that place was amazing and your shots looked great, loved the post processing to pop the moss. Somewhere we'll have to go mate because I've got to visit that place sometime this year, great video 👍

    Went to that place about 4 years ago after discovering a route on the 'WalkHighlands' site. You might also want to consider, 'The Birks of Aberfeldy' in Perthshire I think it is - a big wooded gorge, you can walk round it on an easy path, bit like Ingleton Falls but these falls are much bigger, there's a huge one in the middle with a footbridge over the top, it's very impressive, especially in Autumn.

    Fabulous photos, Paul, but couldn't help feeling that the colours were a little too intense and vivid for my liking. That could be my new monitor though, I might not have it fully adjusted yet.
    So far I've only managed to visit one photo location that I've seen on UA-cam, that was the bluebell wood in Whalley you recommended spring this year or last year. Just walking from Whalley town centre to the wood practically finished me off, then it started raining heavily so I called it a day. Must get fitter!

    • @paulcomptonpdphotography
      @paulcomptonpdphotography  Рік тому

      The colours could be a little hard.. i am sorry you never quite made it.. maybe next time

    Hi Paul, great video. Have you been to the Big Burn at Golspie in Scotland? Very similar.

  • @jimgoodall7837
    @jimgoodall7837 Рік тому

    Right on my doorstep virtually. McInroy's Point, where you got the ferry to Dunoon, is about 5-10 mins drive from my front door, so this video was a lovely wee surprise, seeing so many familiar locations. A wee word of warning though, don't let the locals hear you talk about a roll and sausage, we call it a slice roll!! lol Great video as always.

    • @paulcomptonpdphotography
      @paulcomptonpdphotography  Рік тому

      no way, bet you have some great images from there

    • @jimgoodall7837
      @jimgoodall7837 Рік тому

      Definitely. I'm only a short drive away from Loch Lomond, Dumbarton Rock (ancient castle on a volcanic plug), etc, a photographer's delight.

    I used to live on the Firth of Clyde, in fact I lived right beside one of the tourist tags on your Google map in a Victorian cottage above the beach. Ha, the good old days, snowed in and having to cut down a tree for firewood ... less romantic than it sounds.
    I have said before, why are you driving past so many good locations to go to Glencoe and take the guidebook shots? Argyle is a landscape photographers paradise. Its Central Scotland, not Southern Scotland, not Highlands either. Technically Puck's Glen is a 'Temperate Rainforest' as the humidity doesn't drop too low and the sunlight doesn't often get directly to the floor, which allows the moss to grow. You'd love the 'Rest and Be Thankful' pass, which is not far from where you were, the Arrochar Alps etc, etc.
    Its an 'egg and square doubler', no need to mention sausage, without the egg its just a 'roll and square'. It beats a McMuffin breakfast any day. It puts hair on your sporran 😁

    • @paulcomptonpdphotography
      @paulcomptonpdphotography  Рік тому

      i think i have been throught the Rest and Be Thankful pass on my motorbike years ago.. i am going to plan a visit in the area as i am looking for a place near Lochgilphead i have to pop to..

    Yet another inspiring video Paul. I only live about 40 mins from where you caught the ferry across and did not know this place existed, so thanks for highlighting it, will defo visit sometime soon!

    A stunning location Paul with compositions around every turn. Thank you for taking us to these wonderful places throughout 2023; you've certainly clocked up a few miles on your travels. Well done mate and very best wishes for the New Year 📷👏👏

    Wow what a an amazing place Paul.
    Definitely got to be square sausage in a Scottish roll.
    You must have taken hundreds of image's.
    That place was out of this world to photograph.
    You captured some amazing image's.
    Definitely one for my bucket list.
    Look forward to the next one mate.

    What a gem of a location, Paul. Well worth the visit for sure. My only comment on the processed images would be that the greens are consistently a little over-saturated to my eye, but maybe that was the style you wanted to achieve

    I found this place by accident while I was stating in Dunoon and was looking for places to go. And what a place. One of the most beautiful places I have seen so far. Also on the return to Dumbarton/Glasgow there is a place call The Devils Pulpit which is worth exploring but is more tricky to find and get down.

  • @digitaliphotography
    @digitaliphotography Рік тому +1

    Love your enthusiasm for this place, Paul. It's been on my list to visit since I saw it on, I think, John McKenna's channel. It's an amazing glen with so many picture opportunities. Great pictures, too!
