I've Wanted This Photograph for 8 Years... 

I have an issue with you Mr Turner. Every time you make a video in Scotland you make this 63 year old well-up! It is your passion and emotion for our special little country that gets me all the time, not to mention the fantastic images. Your point about landscape photographers being in the minority was a great one. Most people who view your images, who buy your calendars, won't have seen a photograph of Buachaille Etive Mòr (landscape orientation for me BTW) or the three sisters before. These are the people who matter, these are the people who'll pay money for your images. I don't understand landscape photographers who don't like photographing Glencoe because 'it's been photographed before' look at the images you've produced in this visit, they're stunning, who wouldn't be inspired and awe struck by these images? Great video, can't wait for next weeks. Thank you and well done.

For me the landscape image just gives the whole scene breathing room, allowing the your eyes to roam the surrounding beauty.

The landscape orientation is my preference. IT makes the foreground well balanced, but leading to the magnificent mountain in the background.

Landscape, definitely. You indeed have the "Eye" and your enthusiasm is refreshing!.

It is so much fun watching you have so much fun. Roll on...

Bravo, loved it all. 👍👏 Landscape for me and it was stunning.

Always have a bottle of Portuguese peri-peri (HOT chilli sauce) for correcting bland food. Use garlic in an emergency, or both.

Brilliant images all round Henry. From the first two I definitely prefer the landscape oriented photograph , it for me tells more of a story . Can't wait for the next installment.

The portrait mode is my favorite! Great vlog!!!

I much preferred the composition of the portrait version but the light was better in the landscape shot. If you could have the light of the one and comp of the other then it would be sublime. I live quite near GlenCoe (less than an hour away) and have climbed all the mountains but have never taken these honeypot shots. I'm usually too busy heading north or possibly turning off for the exquisite and vastly underrated Glen Etive. I must take a day to just stop and properly explore the 'Coe.

The landscape for me Henry but just for the light as always it’s all about the light. Love the videos though.

I love this mountain. I've photographed it from the waterfall, hiked past it on the West Highland Way (twice), stood on the summit and photographed it on a snowy February sunrise from Beinn a Chrulaiste. So many great memories. I liked the landscape image better mate, a bit more breathing space in it. Great video, thanks for sharing as always.

The bigger problem with very popular sites is finding a time when you have chance to be by yourself for a few minutes for me and to find an interesting composition.

You have been there, you have taken that picture, and while the picture might look similar to what others have done before, the experience is unique to you and only you.

Thanks Henry for showing the moody best of Glencoe. I loved the place so much I moved here and it was the best move I ever made. Apart from Skye this has to be my top spot in the UK. Keep dodging the showers. 👍👍

The landscape for sure! the holes in the dirt brings up a topic in a hiking group I follow. "leave nothing but footprints" is a motto for hikers. Some of the most popular trails where I live have serious erosion due to hikers using trekking poles. I never use the metal studs on my tripods (or trekking poles) for this reason. I know it is a personal thing but I am always environmentally aware.

Hi again to give you my opinion: The two images at the beginning , I prefer the portrait mode one. It has more dramatic in it. And the three sisters I prefer… the one you’ve shown. Good work and carry on. Greets

Henry, your photography is always amazing, but i feel the shots from this video are some of your best work. These are fantastic. I don't care if they are common locations. You've captured unique perspectives on all of them. My wife and I are planning a trip to Scotland in the next couple of years. Her family came from there. I'll have to add these locations to our photography stops. Again, amazingly beautiful photos. Keep up the great work.

Landscape❤

Landscape!

Love the energy buddy! Some nice images to boot

Another awesome video, I prefer the landscape view. Got to add Scotland to the bucket list!!!

Nice place to visit nice video. I think the landscape shot was the better capture. Keep up your enthusiastic approach.

Another cracking video, Henry. Like you, I just can't drive through Glencoe without stopiing 4 or 5 times for shots. Yes, they're honeypot locations, but so what. Like you said, most people won't have seen them,, and they're shot so often for a very good reason. There's no reason not to have them in your portfolio. In fact, I'd say it's important to HAVE them! Can't wait to see where you're headed. Hope you stopped at Eilean Donan on your way wherever it is. I'm up there next month, so I might just be looking at your video for location ideas!

Portrait orientation for me, because of the light and the colours. 😊 But both pictures are great!👌🏼

Landscape for me👌

Henry great video mate Glencoe looks amazing the landscape picture is for me, keep up the great work you are an inspiration thankyou

Landscape!

I love both but prefer the landscape version.

Hey Henry, I love watching your videos. Your infectious enthusiasm has even made my wife, who has no particular interest in photography,a fan of yours. Calendar order placed. Keep up the great content!

Stunning video once again, have to say, I really can’t decide on first image, both give something special tbh 👌🏻

landscape orientation for me but in saying that both images are spot on

Stunning photographs is what we've come to expect Henry and you have left us down..... as usual. Glencoe and Fort William area are simply are a photographers dream even though it's all been done before. If you get a chance get yersel up to Glen Nevis,Steall Falls and the plateau there, loads of falls to be seen in the river well worth a look if you've time. Great work again Henry, keep em coming mate.👍 😎

Brilliant video Henry, I have lost count of the number of times I have captured Buchaillie Etive Mor, with both camera and Drone, the mountain is Epic, as are the 3 sisters which is another favourite place for me, and I always park where you parked away from the hordes, looking forward to next week's video, for the mystery location, as I am in the Highlands in December

Landscape

Both images are great but I'd definitely have the landscape on my wall.

Congratulations Henry on achieving your goal……both are incredibly gorgeous! I personally prefer the portrait version - just because most think that Landscapes should be shot in landscape orientation and portraits in portrait orientation but I find more often than not I shoot landscapes in portrait orientation…..guess I’m just a rebel like that 😂 Love love love your work and your passion for it. So enjoy watching your adventures - thanks for doing what you do!

I preferred the portrait shot. I found my eye drawn to the to sky in the landscape view and lost the mountain slightly.

Nice one - I think I prefer the landscape shot - at least in part because of the light on the top of the mountain. I am thinking of heading to the Glen Coe area in the autumn to get some autumn colour

The lens swap was great chin chin 😂 amazing iconic location but it’s gotta be done Henry and good job with freezing the tree to create a very special image portfolio class! The landscape one is a good image but I felt you needed more room on the right 👍

I prefer the portrait version

Landscape.

Hi Henry. Both are lovely shots but it's definitely landscape of the Buachaille and the waterfall that gets the gold star from me. By the way, how long did you have to wait to get to the front of the queue ? Every time I've been there it's been mobbed and I've had to either tread carefully on ice or wade through knee deep glaur - looks like you got a good day !!

Henry - every time you visit Scotland I just know I need to plan a trip for the old bucket list. On your first location I think the landscape image is so much better. It gives a much nicer perspective tying the foreground to the mountain - speaking of which the mountain light was also better. Wonderful video - thanks for taking us along!

Landscape for me! I shall be following in your footsteps as well in the next few weeks. On my way to 3 days and nights on skye. hopefully its not of kids and tourists ;)

Have travelled through Glencoe on numerous occasions en route to Orkney and I defy anyone to not stop and take in the awe of it. Buachaille Etive Mòr is one of the most iconic peaks in Scotland and for any photographer not to have an image of it in their portfolio would be unforgivable 😉⛰️ The Three Sisters are difficult without a wide angle lens. Glencoe in my opinion depicts Scotland in all its beauty and it’s not surprising it’s been photographed to death. Preferred the portrait shot as it concentrated on Buachaille itself more, personally I think Glencoe has the most jaw dropping scenery in the UK 👌 If you drive past it without stopping to take an image you have no soul 😉

Ok, it’s gotta be said, the most horrific scene in the entire video, Jesus sandals with socks !!!!! Henry…no, just……no 😔

Hi Henry, What a great video! I just love the Highlands. Well, my favorite of the mountain is actually the third one. Wow! Every element in it draws your eye in toward the focal point - the clouds converging from both directions, the water, the darker green bank on the left, the light at the foot of the mountain - all those things work so well together. As for the other two, I actually like the landscape version the best. I pay attention to how my eye is drawn in. With the vertical, in moves in way too fast, and then the mountain is so dark that it is like a sudden, visual stop. In the other, I find myself meandering in, and then the mountain is not as dark and so it allows me to continue on through the image. It is less abrupt, and more peaceful and pleasant. I really enjoy your videos. You inspire my painting and my own videography. Thank you!

Landscape over portrait every time for me... and I usually (where possible) go for 16/9 also... Love your enthusiasm on this video. There's no doubt some areas have us jumping for joy solely off the area's beauty...

Another great, heartfelt video in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I was lucky enough to be able to take my son there last fall as a college graduation present. We absolutely fell in love with the place and I took my best photo ever there. Great photos Henry. Hopefully I am able to get back there some day.

Thank you for your honesty when saying "you left the twin falls alone as you couldn't work out the shutter speed" - at that moment I exhaled, as you gave me permission to walk away from things too .... and I only have 1 yr experience. Love your work Henry, it inspires me a lot!

Gotta be the landscape shot for me, it just seems to draw you in and give a sense of being there. Great video again Henry.

I haven't watched a Henry Turner video in ages so wanted to say how much better they are (they were always good though) the productions up a level and the story telling is more natural. Anyway looks great, nice job

I love your photos and videos but when you promoted a completed 2024 calendar in July 2023 I truly said Henry is a pro!! Mad Respect for your work ethic!!

I like the portrait picture better

Henry, you get so excited, I was afraid that you might accidentally knock your tripod off the rocks and into the water!

Another superb and honest video. Love the enthusiasm as usual. Preferred the landscape, for me it was a bit more interesting. But I am a water lover.

I prefer the Landscape of Glencoe way more than the portrait. I toured the west side of Scotland on a restored 1982 honda goldwing about 5 years ago. My first time in Scotland and Glencoe was the most amazing place, Scotland is so beautiful I intend to go back but spend more time there exploring. Dont forget Glenfinnan viaduct too, everyone has taken photo of it but it never disapoints.

Great shots Henry, I think the landscape image is the one I prefer. Hopefully one of these will be in next years calendar.

Well now, Henry, both landscape and portrait aspects of your Glencoe photograph have their individual merits, and for me, the portrait aspect gives a 'dark moody' atmosphere whereas the landscape aspect with sunlight slopes invokes an uplift of the spirit - so on that ephemeral basis alone the landscape wins. For me that is. Both great. my preference.

I'm in the United States, but I drove through Glencoe in 2010 on vacation. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

Amazing scenery Henry. I was there last year, around this time (first ever trip!) and was absolutely blown away Love your channel mate. Subscribed 👍

Second is best Henry 😊

The Piper doesn't play at the head of Glencoe for the tourists. He plays there because it's the only place he can practice without getting told off by his neighbours down in the town. True Story!

Both, of course. Your passion, emotion, and humor is a great combination, Henry! Thank you...and for your wonderful photography, too. Inspirational.

Your passion and excitement are infectious! Wonderful! I know exactly your feeling of a "kid in a candy store"! OMG! Which shot first?! For windy and precarious tripod locations, I use 2kg ankle weights with height adjusting straps on my tripod legs for peace of mind and shot stability! A bit more weight to carry but so very much worth it when you get setup for several shots over an extended time. Keep up your wonderful videos, Henry. Scotland is amazing!

Man, if we could bottle your enthusiasm and joy, clean energy would be solved for the next generation. I am fortunate enough to live a few hours from Yosemite National Park, so I can relate when it comes to heavily traveled photographic subjects, complete with the inevitable consciousness of Ansel Adams in the back of my head. So, you shoot it anyway, you look around, you see how you can show what *you* see. I prefer the landscape composition - and if it were me, I might even process it in black and white!

Hi Henry, I have to say that was another excellent video, so full of excitement and of great motivation. As for the first question about which photo did we prefer, well I prefered the landscape one only because I think it would look much better hanging on my living room wall :). the portrait version was terrific too but both photos actually (to me anyway) seemed to have different priorities, the Landscape one seemed to have the waterfalls as the main point of focus and the portrait one seemed to have the Mountain.....its just what I seen, probably me talking crap though lol, what do I know eh :) . Great video and interesting to see where you will be next week...oh I canna wait man ! cheers Henry :)🙂👊👌

Y'know, I'd like to see the good and the bad images. You're selecting in the edit, and chances are you'll change your mind again. Ps. it's great how you make poor weather speak, too. I think I'd go just a bit too picture postcard. Keep up the good work!

I know I’m very late to this video but I’ve been binge watching all your videos and you’ve convinced me to finally pulling the trigger on a new camera. My wife and I plan on taking a trip to New Zealand and that’s where I plan to start my landscape photography experience. Is that a good or bad idea? I’m worried I’ll waste a lot of great opportunities just by inexperience.

For this particular Glencoe location (the waterfall with the conical-shaped mountain in the background) I like the landscape orientation better, both for the larger scale and for the darker tones, in contrast with the appearance of a cloudy blue sky once the rain stopped. Cheers!

Perfer the landscape

I was getting emotional watching this, Henry! The incredible scenery combined with your passion and honesty is truly inspiring. The two images, even though of the same subject, were quite different from each other and each one stands alone as a beautiful image in its own right - I’m not sure I can choose one. Can’t wait for the next video from Scotland!

Aw gotta love Glencoe! It's such a funny place - it's so busy and touristy, but if you just step off the tourist trail you can basically have it all to yourself. I prefer the portrait shot of Etive Mor - feels more balanced to me...gotta love those clouds! And love your shot of the 3 (2) sisters....I luckily got to get there too, and I love how quiet it is given how close it is to everything else...just very awkward to get to! The perspective of your shot is great! There wasn't as much water when I was there unfortunately. Looking forward to next week!

Like the landscape one better, Henry. Both are beautiful but for some reason, I find the landscape one more engaging.

At 6:29 .... the one on the right is a better composition. There is more room to explore within the frame than the other, which give it a more complete and relaxed view of the scene. The vertical one is a bit cramped, I think.

Landscape as it has a better balance, for me, and it has the sunlight on the side of the mountain. -jim

The third photo shown was my favorite. You made me a bit nervous flitting about the camera while it was low on the tripod, on the edge of the rock ledge. One wrong move and into the water it goes. Glad that didn't happen. Good video!

Ha Ha! Good Lad.

Portrait orientation for sure, the mountain is dominating the scene. In the landscape version it looks like the mountain has been pushed to the side and is partially out of frame, it looks incidental to the prominence of the waterfall

Thank you for another great video, one of the best you've done I think. I prefer the landscape orientation of the two as I think it draws you in more. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your Scottish adventure

I think I prefer the second (landscape) as it feels less common, although the first is breathtaking too!

the 2nd one ;-) yourr videos are just incredible... and made with so much effort.!

I am used to take the landscape photos with my Kase filters, it's better controlling the light outdoors

bet ya going to the shipwreck while ya up that way absolutely love that part of the word be sure to do the Harry Potter bridge while up that way 👍

I prefer the landscape one because there is more to it and more trees is good. the portrait one is good but next to the landscape one it feels compressed.

the light hitting the mountain in the landscape version is better but the portrait version draws the eye more to the mountain (first 2 images), Tough choice Henry. That 3rd image was an absolute banger though and definitely a keeper for sure

I prefer the landscape version, it feels like it draws me into the photo better.

They're both amazing, but I have to choose the landscape version.

Hard to choose. In the case of story i choose portret. And in the case of showing the erea i choose landscape.

Landscape. Not precisely sure why. It grabs me.

Landscape definately amazes me stronger. It seems to be more magical and more Scottish🙂

at the end of the year you could make a photo compilation of your personal favorite photos

Glencoe is an awesome sight to behold and you captured it beautifully. I preferred the landscape version. Thanks for the weekly adventure, the passion you bring to your work and your appreciation for the created world. I love your attitude of gratitude Henry. Keep living the dream.

Landscape for me 👌 Beautifully done , 👍 Please go back for the Heather capture 😇, Fantastic enthusiasm mate 👍👍

Just love your images Henry! Absolutely beautiful! Love watching your videos and your enthusiasm!

how strange, I got a weird sort of vertigo feeling looking at that last image!

Landscape Henry looks great, keep up the good work

Hello my friend! Quick question.. You know by now that I'm a mobility scooter user. Are there any good places to take landscape photographs in Scotland without having to go off the beaten track, and climb mountains and stuff? Just scenes that I could photograph from a lay-by for instance. That's a bit of an ambiguous question, and probably quite a daft one! Of course there's scenes like that, this is Scotland! But can you think of anywhere specific?

Am I the only one who finds the volume in your videos too low? 😥
