Great video Kim. I really like how you so often encourage us to try something new. That is your great strength as well as showing us marvellous shots. Love the snoring story!
I dont know much about photography but i enjoy so much watching people capturing the moment .. You seem like you really know what shot you want.. I enjoy your vidoes and i gotta add you are very beautiful. Thank you
Absolutely one of your best videos, IMO. Enjoyed it greatly. The images of the rhododendrons were superb.
The snoring Kim will more than likely be a hedgehog. I have them in my garden and yess they really do snore very loudly!!
Love your photos. Graham, Nottingham.❤️
A Story Teller with & without your camera - relaxing vids Kim
What beautiful images and a really lovely video. Thank you for taking us with you. The snoring was really creepy, until the gentleman below suggested that it could be a hedgehog rather than of human origin. I remember now that hedgehogs can be very noisy. I heard all sorts of strange and loud noises one night after dark and loud rustling noises too. When I went to investigate I witnessed a large hedgehog climbing the high wall opposite. I never knew they could do that. It sounded like me climbing uphill with loads of camera gear on my back. I think badgers snore quite loudly as well.
Just catching up with your tutorials Kim as we are in lockdown again , nice to relax , how beautiful loved your images , the snoring well I cant stop 😂😂 👍
Lovely place and nice images. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Now those are some nice shots. You take good care of your nails. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. A nice chat with advice for a very bright morning. Loch/lake. Even with your accent you are easy for this guy to understand compared to some of the guys who are just a little tough, but I'm old and a little deaf. Swan!
Stunning handheld shots Kim, and a great location well done.
Kim
I love photographing wildlife at the lake I go to a local park with Ducks, Egrets and other wildlife
Loved the snoring story. Hilarious.
Beautiful video with beautiful scenery. Really looking forward to Sunday's video. Stay safe Kim and thanks for sharing. ❤️
Thank you Martin!
Lovely shots Kim, I really liked the 13.13 shot. The snoring story did make me laugh. I was going to say it was coming from my bedroom, In England, but I shan't. 😊. Great vlog. Take Care!
It might not have been human! You should hear our cat snoring! Great video thanks.
Wowww beautiful images Kim love your chat …
love the colours of the rhodees Kim. Glad you stayed away from the mysterious snoring bag :)
Hi Kim that was a lovely/funny video I have to say you do put a smile on my face with a chuckle at times to. I loved the image's as these are the type of images I tend to take with a painting in mind. Until next time take care and stay safe.
Lovely to hear Clive. Thank you for watching.
thank you Kim for all you videos you post, they give me inspiration to get out and shoot when i otherwise wouldnt bother, so much so that i upgraded from my D7100 to a D810 as i have a renewed passion for photography
That is wonderful to hear! Enjoy the new camera and thank you very much for the kind comment and support 😊
great video Kim enjoyed while have a cup of coffee as i always do while watching your videos, , enjoy your self ,take care and stay safe, and great photos
Thank you once again Mick - much appreciated
Some wonderful images (hand-held at that). I loved the framing and the beautiful colors. Well done on the entire vlog.
Thank you very much Brad - glad you liked them 😊
I got an Osprey cruising by with a fish in its talons but I've not seen one actively fishing.
Some animals snore (my cat does at times), perhaps... If you were in Norfolk I'd say you'd wandered to close to Snoring Magna (or Great Snoring as those modern Brits call it). ;-D
Very nice shots Nice video Kim
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it Jon.
One of my favourite places in the NE. Great vlog as usual, Kim. Regarding the snoring - it could easy be my wife back in Aberdeen. She is certainly loud enough!! I dedicate most of my sunrise shots to her snoring LOL
Lovely mindfulness with a different aspect. Love the photos.
Thank you Roy 😊 Glad you enjoyed
Thank you 🦋❤️🏴
What a lovely vlog. Made me laugh.... So nice we can now catch up at last. Also last night at the headland was amazing Kim... Memories .things we create and treasure... Thanks.... Bb
The other night was unforgettable!! Can't wait to do it again in a few weeks hopefully 🤞
What a stunning location! I loved the photos,
Thank you Tony - it certainly is a lovely place
Love the birdsong. What lens would you recommend for birds on the Z6. Currently have an f mount 70-300.
I haven't used any of the z mount zoom lenses yet (I only have the 24-70mm and 14-24mm). I've just loaned a full frame zoom lens (24-300mm) and adapter for doing wildlife photography. Last I checked the longest focal length z lens was 250mm but new lenses are being released all the time. At the moment I'd recommend getting a full frame zoom lens and z mount adapter until a longer z mount lens comes into the market 😊
Thank you for the lovely video!! I’m a fairly new subscriber, and I’m so glad that found you. I’m also a Nikon shooter, but I opted for the Z7. In fact I have two Z7’s and a number of Z-mount lenses. I’m intrigued by that Nisi closeup lens. I’m going to look into purchasing one of those. I’ve been using my adapted Nikon F-mount 105mm f/2.8 macro at the moment, but it’s so noisy when the VR is turned on.
Looking forward to your next video!!
Thank you Guy and welcome to the channel. Really glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos and are too a Nikon user. They certainly are great cameras 👍 I'm really enjoying the NiSi close up lens too. The glass is great quality
Kim Grant Unfortunately, I’m using the new Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8S for the Z-mount, which has an 82mm Filter thread, and I don’t believe the Nisi closeup lens is available in that size. I may get it anyway and use it on my 85mm f/1.8S. By the way, I’ve been a Nikon user for more years than I care to admit, and these new Z-mount lenses are just amazing!!
Nice video, nice pictures to bearing in mind you were holding your camera above your head. Impressed with the clean sharp focus. You caused me a bit of anxiety not using a wrist strap on that really nice camera though, it's probably because I'm clumsy.
Thank you Alan. I have been looking into getting a wrist strap for hand held shots 😅
Let sleeping trolls lie. Great blog, Kim!
Kim, please don't go near anyone 'heavy breathing' in a field! Glad the new gear is working out for you, I think you will find the freedom of full frame photography inspiring.
Great video as always Kim and good to see people getting out and about. Was the snoring possibly a hedgehog? They snore quite loudly when peacefully asleep 🤔
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the video. I'm pretty certain it was a person. It was very loud 😂
Hi Kim, great video as always. You may find that your mysterious snoring was actually somebody fishing, many people do night fish a lot, in fact when I saw that you where walking around a fishing lake I was very surprised that there was nobody there fishing tbh. Even if the lake doesnt allow night fishing many people will still do it but will do so very discreetly, maybe hiding themselves in the long grass etc with just a sleeping bag.
Thanks Steve and that's interesting to know. Thanks for sharing this - was very weird to hear loud snoring but not see a soul in sight 😬
Lovely images & looks gorgeous. Did you get to the bottom of the mysterious snoring?!
Thank you very much Jill and nope. I decided to head home so the mystery remains. Was very bizarre though! Couldn't see anyone anywhere and it was so loud!!
Ua pics at 7:43 is just wow. I cant find words
That's very kind - thank you 😊
Hi Kim...beautiful location. Are you still loving your Z6? I'm an Olympus shooter but the recent announcement of Olympus selling off their camera division is heartbreaking. I love the compact and light weight Olympus bodies and lenses but I am seriously looking at the Nikon Z50 if things are really as dire as they appear with Olympus. I love your shooting style and regard for nature. Keep it up.
Thank you Andrew. Yes - I am in love with the Z6! It's a great camera. Very sad to hear about Olympus - I hope whatever camera you invest in moving forwards will bring you joy.
If you enjoy macro photography, you might, sooner or later, want to buy some extension tubes. They are usually sold in kits of three, with each tube being a different length than the others. You attach the tube (or tubes) between the camera body and the lens, which makes it possible to focus on things much closer than normal. With a wide-angle lens you can get ridiculously close and still have things in focus. In fact, you can get the minimum focal distance so short that it is negligible! Unfortunately, the depth of field shrinks with the decreasing minimum focusing distance, so you need to be more careful than normal with focusing.
Would definitely consider this moving forwards. So many amazing things out there to help us see and enjoy photography more. I really am enjoying macro so will look into these for the future.
That is so weird Kim , I went to a local lake it was very early in the morning and I spotted this white bag , obviously I took the opportunity to take a nap. Anyway I was woken up by this girl's voice apparently talking to herself. What a coincidence eh ...
Oh Kim, you should have woken me, I’d have loved to meet you 😂
😂😂😂
I check to see if there no one dead in the white tone bag ....!!!!
I really enjoy your videos Kim. I visited Scotland last year and fell in love with your country. We share the same desire to photograph Osprey fishing. I'm fortunate to live some where close to several Osprey nests here in California and I see them fishing all the time but have not been able to get the shot. I'm considering taking my camera on my kayak next week, so maybe they will cooperate. I have some pictures of them in the nest with their chicks and building their nest on my Instagram page instagram.com/amandajfife. Feel free to check it out if you like. Keep the videos coming. I always learn something new from them.
Thank you very much Amanda and that's great to hear! Ospreys are incredible birds. You're so lucky to see them so often and I wish you all the best with trying to capture them fishing on camera 🤞
You must be very careful Kim your out on you own with very expensive erumpent and you’re an attractive young girl
Thanks for the concern Ken but I've always felt safer out in nature on my own than I ever have in a town or city. I would never let my gender stop me enjoying the solitude of nature. Of course there are bad people in the world but for every bad person there are hundreds of good. I'm always sensible when I'm out, keep my wits about me and pick my locations wisely.
