On this adventure, I explore the EPIC Cairngorms National Park, discover some fantastic new locations for landscape photography near Aviemore, freak out as I discover that ticks have swarmed my dog, fend off hordes of hungry midges while photographing the stunning Loch Morlich, watch as Storm Alex passes over the enormous Cairngorm Mountain Plateau and for the first time ever, I have to leave Coops behind.
An epic experience in the Scottish Highlands full of ups and downs - like all great adventures with my camera - and yes, I still use a DSLR in 2022 🤭

Have you ever had bad experiences with Ticks or have you got a favourite memory from the Cairngorms? I’d love to hear about them!

@NotASheep100 2 года назад

My misses went for a pee in a hedge... shortly after noticed the biggest ticks you have ever seen crawling up her legs... about a dozen.. Eeeerrrrr... bluddy gross things... still haunted by the size of them... Make me shudder just thinking about it! In Scotland of course..

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

🤒🤒🤒 I shouldn't be, but I'm laughing! Me and the Mrs were camping in Glen Rosa (Arran) a few years back and the midges were absolutely horrendous, clouds of them. I was p*shing myself laughing as she attempted to go for a pee before bed and I eventually had to stand guard with a flamethrower made from a deodorant can 😂 ...didn't help!

@gigi3242 2 года назад

I lived in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.... the ticks were absolutely horrible, all the time, everywhere. Now I'm in Michigan, and this year, they are really bad here; not sure why. When my daughter finds a tick, on a dog or a kid, she picks them off and puts them in a ziploc bag; I have no idea what that's about. Poor Coops, thank goodness you were paying attention. You got some beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing.

@NotASheep100 2 года назад

I apologize for being off topic...is it possible for an update on the tent after using it few times..... Any more mods you can think of ? Thanks very much... Excellent videos 👍

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

@@NotASheep100 that’s ok mate, always happy to help! What sort of updates? There wasn’t any wild camping on this trip as it was a wee family holiday. Hoping to get back onto the Arran also very soon for a proper wild camp in the Hexpeak 👌🏻 Regarding mods, I might have found a super lightweight 3 season inner (100g) - but I haven’t had a chance to measure everything before buying it. It’s a sea to summit bug net inner 😯

@Laubasss Год назад

Midges!!!! Lmao. Stunning fotography!

@outlawedlandscapes Год назад

😢😅 Thanks!

@NotASheep100 2 года назад

Excellent video... fantastic photos. Dam those horrible ticks... they love the wife... Were keeping score...she always wins...😆 and we just ordered 2 midge jackets to hopefully stop the buggers and anything else for that matter... Keep up with excellent video's.. Poor dog... hope hes not traumatized !

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Hi Rich, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it! The ticks... aye, they are despicable wee creatures. I've only ever had two, but they give me the heeby jeebies! Coops isn't phased, though I may have developed PTSD from that long night in the bathroom haha!!

@davidrees1564 2 года назад

Love the video. We went out to Long Island in Roaringwater Bay, Co Cork 10 days ago and yep the dogs came back covered in ticks. They seem unphased, we were horrified! Still have great memories from my first trip up the Cairngorms in the 1980's, we went up for the wildlife and saw dotterel, snow bunting, ptarmigan and best of snowy owl, loved the place.

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Thanks David, I appreciate that! It doesn't seem to be faring well in terms of views or reach, but f*ck it, I like it too! Argh! It never seems to get any easier to pull them off, I'm always a bit sickened by them, literally no redeeming factor when it comes to ticks! That sounds amazing, I've a photographer friend from near me that swears by the 'Gorms for the wildlife & I cut the spoken section out of this video, but while up there I had the pleasure of seeing various frogs, insects (the wood ant nests are incredible!), woodpeckers, cuckoos, dragon/damselflies, owls and even my very first pine marten! I couldn't believe it! 😀

@campingcaledonia76 2 года назад

Midges, ticks and rain - the unholy trinity! 😆 Really enjoying your channel man, great stuff 👌🏻 Cheers!

Cracking video bud. Stunning light oan the Gorms. 😎 Poor Coops eh. Wee tick barstewards eh.

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Thanks Kev Boy, that red light makes me think it’s supposed to be the Lairig RUADH 🤩🔥 It really was horrible, hope I never have to deal with that nonsense again, my skin is still crawling 🤮

@ferguslass 2 года назад

Ticks 🤢🤢🤢 Your Loch Morlich scenes with the midges brought back favourite !!! memories lol 😆 We were married up in Grantown on Spey 25 years ago in July and had a timeshare in Coylumbridge which meant we were there every year for our anniversary. One year hubby decided that rather than go for a lovely anniversary meal, we would take a picnic (plain bread bacon sandwiches but that’s another story !) down to Loch Morlich …well I think you’ll know the outcome ….picnic and wine all set out when a tsunami of midges descended…OMG..never seen anything like it ….picnic ended up in the car and back to lodge 😳😳😳. Your photos are crackers as usual Scott 😊

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Hahaha! I'm quite partial to midge flavoured food myself 😅 I know the feeling though, they can definitely ruin a good time if you're unprepared - I don't know how many times I've done the angry dance until I finally gave in and bought gloves/nets. The googles are just so I can see my camera 🤔 Thanks for watching! 🙂

@GusExplores Год назад

I watched 1 of your videos a few months ago and not seen anything since, I have hit the bell now 🤣. Some great pictures well done. A great decision not to climb up to the top Cairngorms I think the weather was bad enough where you were. ATB Gus

@outlawedlandscapes Год назад

Ahhhhh haha 😅 Thanks for that! 🥳 Aye, it turned out a bit wild at the end up which is a shame, but there’s always next time! 👌🏻

@whenigotothemountains1203 2 года назад

Cracking shots Scott. Love those places- luckily I will be back up there in a couple of weeks myself. Atb gordon

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Thanks mate! It's absolutely cracking being in amongst the mountains and old growth 😀

@scotdocs1794 2 года назад

Fantastic Scott! Absolutely stunning images. I bet the loch morlich shot needed some spot removal with that cloud of midges. Seems all the beasties are out in force this year! Cheers, Kris.

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Hi Kris, thanks for watching 😃 Thankfully not, this was a long exposure and there was no directional light to back light them, the normal exposures though, are covered in them whizzing by 😅

@scotdocs1794 2 года назад

@@outlawedlandscapes I suppose they can be forgiven for just the biting then, as long as they don't mess with the images! Thanks for reminding me to buy a new midge net before I go on holiday too!! 😄

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

@@scotdocs1794 Haha 😂 Nah, they will never be forgiven!! Though I’m less bothered about them after tick-gate! The safety goggles mod is a good idea btw, means you can still see your camera 👌🏻

@kenhenley7599 2 года назад

A great video and some superb photographs. A bit "hairy" coming off the hill I'll warrant! I'm glad Coops wasn't phased by the ticks and quickly recovered from his ordeal. Made my stomach churn. So you have another inner for your V4A? Hope you can do a review soon. Cheers. Ken

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Thanks Ken, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it. Aye, I got down just in time before it kicked right off, amazing what a wee bit of height can do in terms of weather.. I don't have a new inner yet, but on the way home I found a super lightweight bug net by Sea To Summit, 240g. I need to get the measurements and see if it could work with the Hex - it's only £20-30! Edit; the 'Nano Net' isn't going to work as it's too wide.

@Stop-All-War 2 года назад

Nice edited video & audio. Try placing something in Foreground..wide angles are sweet but flat otherwise. Foreground interest shows scale, depth of field & walks you through an image. Try it & let me know. 👍

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Hi mate, are you referring to the photography? If so, I’ve spent long enough working with the standard “rules” of composition and I’m currently freeing up my mind by shooting more open images - I just haven’t shown much of my work on my channel so far 😉👍🏻

@beatbasher 2 года назад

I spray my trousers very liberally with permethrin before heading out to places like that. Horrible things.

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Definitely mate, it's something I'll be doing from now on - never had to bother before. The tent is next in line!

@roberthenderson3211 2 года назад

To me its quite off putting which is a shame because I do love the outdoors, the natural thing would be cover up and make a fire but even that can be dangerous and I don't wanna be that guy that causes a massive wildfire so for that Scott I "doff my cap" because you are a stronger guy than me or just crazy I can't make up my mind haha.

@outlawedlandscapes 2 года назад

Haha, aye, I always say that no matter what the weather, there's going to be something in the way. The best days are the crisp, clear winters days with perfect visibility, a wee nip in the air and nice crunchy vegetation under your feet! The Cairngorms are very sensitive to wildfires, so I'd defo never be lighting anything. You do get wee anti mosquito gadgets now - but I haven't tried any. It's just part and parcel of being out the house and enjoying the outdoors 😀
