Hi Adrian wanted to thank you for sharing this journey with us. Not only do we see your photography process but these videos have been so relaxing and serene. What a beautiful country Scotland is. Thank you for sharing.

My advice is to use an app for the remote on your sony as a backup. There is a bunch of them that conect via the camera wifi
Adrian. Brilliant photography, as always. Sorry that the dreaded midges are a misery. The locals (and the British army!) have secret answer to the problem, a ladies’ moisturiser called “skin so soft”. I’m not pulling your leg, promise. I’ve used it myself and really works, I’ve no idea why. Much better than the foul chemical repellents, and it smells better too. You should be able to buy it in any chemist (pharmacy) when you’re next in contact with civilisation. Good luck!
I once wore an orange beanie on the Isle of Skye. Turns out midges are attracted to orange. Wore it one morning when camping by a lake. My friend pointed out to me that the hat was no longer orange. It was solid-black with midges.
Outright beautiful. Thank you for taking us along. I am going to be there next week and I think I will bring some extra precautions as far as the midges.
Fantastic video, love Scotland so picturesque. I was doing what you were doing yesterday in regional Victoria here in Australia. Windy and wet in and out of the car- so much fun 😊 nice drone footage too 😊 that photo of the road with mountains in the back is so good
Hi Andrian, This was a great series of Scotland i thoroughly enjoyed all 3 videos. Really enjoyed looking at the beautiful Sea Stack Mountains and loved the one lane Road you were driving in, very picturesque. Thanks for sharing this and other videos. 😃
Another excellent video. I’ve had the privilege of exploring northern Scotland and many of the same locations. It’s magical, for sure. Thanks for the quality content.
Hi, Some lovely images here and a very engaging video as always. My heart goes out to you. The Scottish midge is very small indeed and most insect screens will not contain it. These are the Devil’s own creatures and the reason that people seldom return to the north highlands in summer for a second dose. You may be able to get a fine-screen midge net at the shop in Bettyhill or have one delivered from Tiso in Edinburgh to your camping ground. I wish you luck with this.
Been so many times to this area and you really capture something essential about it (that I always fail to do 😂) Midges - yeah. Essential to wear a net, and spray with Smidge (not the Avon stuff that people talk about)
I'm in Wick and Duncansby is my go-to place but there are so many places you missed! Not forgetting the Neruda poetry carvings 😉 As for your spot at Tongue where the midges defeated you, your feeling was right that loch is the place to get a shot of the mountain. Make sure you go back there!
Poco a poco voy viendo todos tus vídeos y me encantan. Las fotos son preciosas, pero tengo una curiusidad, ¿Cómo has llegado hasta Scocia con un coche español?
Every time I see shots of the coast in the UK it amazes me. Such a primal looking landscape. I love the exposure on this shot. It's blacks and whites with very little grey and the highlights don't look blown out. Also, the water here has this soft, creamy look to it. Is that from a filter? I need to work on getting that. Often, my BNW images don't get that look. Not sure if it's a contrast thing or something I'm doing wrong in the initial exposure. Thanks for taking us along. Just love this Scotland adventure!
Nigel Danson is in Scotland too, and he too complains about the midges. Think this is why Bob Dylan is selling his property there. Please tell us if you meet Danson there.
Ah, here it is: "Bob Dylan, the acclaimed singer-songwriter, 82, put his 16-bedroom mansion-within the vast Cairngorms National Park and close to the village of Nethy Bridge-on the market last week with brokerage Knight Frank, asking for offers over £3 million (US$3.9 million)." Maybe something for you and your wife?
I understand, I’m not a big fan of that kind of footage either. I try to keep to a minimum to better show a place or the conditions. I think a 10-second clip in a 34 minute long video should be just fine 😊
Love the character the grain in post adds
Just watching this episode made me itch.

My favourite photographer You Tuber by far ! No-one should ever underestimate the Scottish midge ( its only the females which bite ! I think ! )
What's true for the midge is true for life 😉

You’re truly showing photography and I appreciate it. You stick to who you are and that’s cool.
Most enjoyable as always. The long midge season in Scotland is a menace.
Leaving a comment because I know the algorithm likes that. 😉

The dreaded midgies 😂
Beautiful photography in our amazing country..

So you’ve got the samyang 135! :)
those bugs tho wow

You need a midge net , pretty sure that’s a bee keepers net , the holes are too big
I hope you ordered two releases so you have the spare!
Haha that’s a very good point! I did not, I only got one, so I have a fully functional cable and another one that only works every once in a while 😬
Next time try going outside peak midge season (June-Sep), it makes the whole Scotland experience much better!
Que buenos paisajes adrian! , Gracias por tu trabajo, te admiro, un saludo desde españa

Yes most definitely skipped some spots. I hope I’ll have time to revisit those! And that the weather will help of course 😊

Enjoyed your video, my first time seeing you. What month was this filmed? I’d like to avoid those little bastards when I visit. Nice photos BTW.
Nice vlog It is a great part of Scotland ---- but that is not many midges, they can be a lot worse, so many that the form black clouds.

He gets that look on the water by taking those long exposures. Mentioned several times in the video.
@@PaulGuy1954 Yeah, that creamy look. I'm more interested in my exposure. Still working on it. I want less greys, more distinctly black and white.
Nigel Danson is in Scotland too, and he too complains about the midges. Think this is why Bob Dylan is selling his property there. Please tell us if you meet Danson there.

I love your work, bit the 360 footage just annoys me sooo much. It almost makes me nauseous. And I'm not being mean, really!
I understand, I’m not a big fan of that kind of footage either. I try to keep to a minimum to better show a place or the conditions. I think a 10-second clip in a 34 minute long video should be just fine 😊
@@aows thanks for the reply😊👍🏽
interesting, your use of grain seemed more pronounced in these images, very nice and as always, strong images
