    You two just get better and better!
    The Unclatious Grumpus Maximus antics whilst you were describing sunstar tips had me in tears as well as your ads for the workshop and the over the top enthusiasm.
    Favourite profanisaurus entries this week were photoboner, his Royal Sourness and Grumpton Airways.
    Cannot wait for your Scotland vlogs!

    Things I've learned since watching your channel.
    1. Bracketing & focus stacking
    2. I don't use filters as much bar the 10 stopper and polorizer the odd time.
    3. I found also that filters take the sharpness away a bit as my photos are so sharp since not using them.
    4. My compositions have improved.
    5. My editing is less and more natural
    6. I get out more and look for hidden beauties around me, especially waterfalls.
    7. I try to be a bit more adventurous with the types of photos I take, abstract, macro, seascapes, movement textures in water.
    So there, I've learned a lot from your good self and thank you for it.
    LOVE these rays you've captured here, stunning work as always.

      1) I can't stop using the term "Trez mendous"
      2) always keep shit tickets in the car.
      and 2) some photography stuff.
      also 7) my maths is getting better.

    As the weather is warming up a bit in Scotland, be sure to bring plenty sunscreen. This should be liberally applied to the toned physique or lardy podge (as appropriate) - the midges like their meat well basted. Don't waste any coppers on seasoning - they cannot taste salt or pepper, only blood!

    In all serious, very nice shot of the waterfall (3:07) with the bridge background, just the right amount of smoothing of the water.

    I think there were a few photogasms in your pantaloons. I also saw the lesser spotted grumpus-vibratus of the Nikonus variety was hovering around the periphery of your set piece to camera. Was it bad of me to want to see a grumpus headfirsticus into the river of light beams. Argh, maybe next time. If I’d been there I can safely say I’d either roll my ankle on those mossy rocks or end up going arse over tit into the water. At least I didn’t poke myself in the eye with the handle of a golf club as my friend just did this morning. It was so funny I pulled a muscle in my ribs.
