Photographing Scotland Part 1 - Epic light and overcast skies

What a roller coaster my first couple days in Scotland were. Great light led to "meh" photos, bad light led to my favorite photos, and I was wrong about pretty much every assumption I made in the video. Regardless it was the first couple days of a great trip.

I don’t usually comment on videos, but I have to say, I’m so impressed with the cinematography of this video, Nick. You’ve definitely stepped up your game. The story telling, the music, and the vid quality are just outstanding. Thank you for sharing this.

10:40 - I am so glad you said you're a bit of a light dependent photographer! I live in the North of Scotland and get very down because so many days are like these - completely grey - and so many of your photos are so colourful. Even if I get up for dawn, it's rare that I'm lucky enough to get many colourful pictures. It's reassuring to know you also have trouble in these conditions! Thank you.

Excited to see the rest of this series!!! So funny seeing all the familiar spots in a ‘Nick Page video’ (where I’m used to seeing far away places I’ve never visited before). Happy hunting!!

Welcome to Scotland. Excellent work Nick. Loved that wee bit of video around 40-50 seconds in.

I love watching your videos. You are so natural and authentic on camera. i feel like you've invited me along on your journey to explore along with you. I loved your second tree shot with the primary tree you liked in the background left of another tree that was in the foreground right of the frame--Thomas Heaton would have been proud of you...or jealous!!

You are the first one who uploads a video in Scotland 😁👍🏻 so nice

[jamesjohnston]

Really great opportunity for you. I loved Scotland and look back on my trips fondly (all pre-photography days). I wish I had been an avid photographer back then. Looking forward to watching the next few videos (right now).

Superb video Nick it was great watch you working the location in Scotland and listening to your thought process. Hope the entire trip is a big success and the Gods of light shine on your compositions 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍

Stunning stuff sir. Whiskey says Scotland, should have found a distillery to shoot...lol.

Welcome to Scotland Nick. Lovely job on the Beuchaille and I tip my hat at you climbing into the water!

It’s about time you enjoyed our beautiful country. Living away from home you appreciate it more and watching others enjoyed it is very gratifying.

Great episode Nick! I loved the shot where you were in the deep water in the first location, and those tree shots in the forest. Such a beautiful place!

[cwgoog]

Nick, Great video! Love how you work things through as you chose compositions. And really enjoy how your B-Roll ties the presentation of the whole video together as you hike around. Great composition with the gnarly trees! Cheers.

Those images are beautifully processed Nick
