ISLE OF HARRIS Landscape Photography - Part 1 

WOW

Stunning location and some impressive photography.

The shot with the grass in the middle may have looked nice in portrait orientation…..enjoyed that,thanks.👍🏻

Great vlog demonstrating how much of a challenge it is without that all important light. That said you obviously maged well without it. Looking forward to the next installments.

Ah man, nice vlog, great memories of my time on Harris, like when I had this amazing foreground and a dog walker walked right through it...oh wait... ;p

I do love that section of the beach there, but it definitely requires the time to find the compositions, I was far too rushed on my visit there! I do like that first image Stuart, it looks as though you made the most of it in challenging conditions! Sam.

Enjoyed that mate! Great to see another vlog!! Looking forward to the next one!!!!

Classic conditions, thought the first shot was great Stuart

I liked the last shot, that centre Marram grass took my eye on a curve to the left, then follow the horizontal line left to right. The next episode looks good. All the best.

Love it Stuart! One of my most favourite places in the world, along side the Lake, of course. Must go back.....did you visit Beka Globe's gallery on the Golden Road. Stunning and much underrated photographer. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for Part 2.

Softening the sky in the first image to match the open sand really balances it. My fav of the two. Very tranquil 😀

Great to see you back Stuart (not that you've been away that long) and in such a stunning location. The D&B really helped bring out the beauty in those shots. Thanks for the upload and I'm already looking forward to part 2!

Beautiful location. One of my favourites, all the graft results in cracking images : )

Enjoyed the video, Stuart. The weather conditions sounded testing but those shots on the sand were beautifully ethereal and successful, I thought. Good luck and looking fwd to the next one 🙂

Looks like a very tranquil place to visit. Definitely worth an explore in the summer on the motorbike for some r&r.

..yer images are stunning..just discovered you and your blog..will watch all

Loved that first shot Stuart. I'm heading up to Skye in March and was thinking about what if I have the sort of weather you had in the video. I came to the conclusion that much of Scotland is so beautiful that whatever the weather you can get good shots and with conditions like you had at least you potentially can shoot all day instead of just blue/Golden hours. harris & lewis is definitely on my Bucket list of locations.

I’m going to Harris in April and your video makes me even more excited about going

Great video! Amazing views.

Nice video Stuart looks amazing on Isle Harris.

Stunning location and beautiful images Stuart, the Dodge and burning really made those shots, thanks for sharing.

You made some nice images. Great vlog

So despite the conditions being far from perfect, you still managed to find a few very pleasing compositions and your dodging and burning made all the difference. Great work! Can't wait for the next installment.

Beautiful location. Great to see you back with another video :)

Cracking stuff Stuart. Love the images. I've seen loads of images from here when the light's been good so I hope you got better weather before the end of your trip.

I think the final images do really capture the expansiveness of that place and the enhancement of the detail texture is very successful. Can I also thank you for your newsletter that I received recently. It provided a good couple of hours of study and is really professionally produced. I look forward to the next one.

Even though you had challenges Stuart you still came away with some good images. Loved how you emphasised the features in the sand with dodging and burning, it really brought the scene to life

Wow lovely location, beautiful windswept barren beach. Great to see another video from you and already looking forward to next part.

Good to see you back Stuart. Honest assessment of the challenges but classy compositions and strong processing

Nout like a bit of Hebridean escapism to start the day. You seem so relaxed in front of the camera now. Really like the way you edited the first image discussed.

Your best vlog yet Stuart, I loved the b-roll, especially the intro 👌

Really like the way you can make the best images with those conditions Stuart. The "moody" shot is a cracker. Roll on part 2.

I'm desperate to get up to Scotland... we go every year to visit family, but for photography I need to go alone! Love that first image with the negative space Stuart and really interesting to hear your thought process on how you composed these images. Look forward to the next video.

Cracking vid fella, great reminiscing about the first day there. It certainly got a little better after that, look forward to seeing the next one 👍🏼

I'm curious to know whether you find the time and effort it takes to create video content like this worth it Stuart? I started doing YT videos over 5 years ago now, made about 5 and quickly realised the requirements and commitment to video on location along with trying to get the best landscape images was very challenging because the photography should always come first, and I found that trying to balance the two often left me feeling the photography may have suffered as a result. It's a genuine question, and I often wonder whenever I see other RU-vid photographers whether they feel the benefits outweigh the cons. I guess there's the hope that it will bring added exposure, but it's a tough juggling act (at least in my experience).

"I shouldn't complain" but I will 20 times in 15 minutes 🤣 Beautiful textures on the beach and a couple of decent images but the mid ground is too messy for me. That said I so want to be there :-)
