Hey Garry - with a name like Delday... Im sure you have indeed (Birsay). Hope you have fun and have nice conditions. Ewan

Wow, thats certainly a well thought out comment and i really appreciate it! Kindest regards, Ewan

HI there - many thanks for your kind words. Nice that you noticed the small things like the 'score' and the framing touches. = ) Kindest regards and hope you are well. Ewan

Hey John - sure is a really cool place indeed! Wonderful to have you along for the ride John! BEst wishes from NZ. Ewan

Hey Karl, thats very kind. Very kind indeed! I think that my rythm should be one video a month as the content... i try to think through somewhat and take some serious time in the production of them. The timelines are rediculous in FCPX! Good fun though! Appreciate your kind words and support! Best wishes, Ewan

Many thanks to you! Appreciate your feedback. Its feedback like this, that keeps me going doing them! You are welcome. Ewan

Hey Tony, Many thanks mate and thank you for your continued support. Best wishes - Ewan

Thanks very much. Appreciate your feedback and support! Regards, Ewan

Hey Steve. Much appreciated mate - it the only way I know how i guess! LOL Good to be back and working on a strange one currently..... Regards, Ewan

Hey Phil, good to hear form you again. I really appreciate your continued support. I appreciate your kind comments and makes me reflect on what im trying to acheive with this channel. I think what it is im trying to do, is just that... get my thinking process out there, and let people into my scrambled mind, 20 minutes at a time! I try and also leave in some of the difficulties during the shooting of a shot, or shooting of a vlog. Keeps it real! Ill nail the vids one day! Best wishes form NZ. Hope you are well. Ewan

Morning Philip. Wonderful place huh!? many thanks for your support. Its this very thing that keeps the channel going! Ewan

Hey Paula - yes, absolutely. You should never underestimate the sea and its power! Ewan

Hey Brendan - appreciated! I dont really have too much of a prescribed shooting plan when i do these - they are pretty au natural! Appreciate the fact that this is noticed and appreciated though. I like to call them 'honest'! Ewan

Thanks Bill - appreciate your support. I sure am lucky! Kind regards, Ewan

Thanks very much indeed. Next one being worked on in the next week or so.... but where will it be from!?... Ewan

Hello there - thanks very much. Im not sure if its Iron that causes it, but it sure is a lovey rich colour indeed! Kind regards - Ewan

LOL, being in my head, that actually came to mind as i was putting the video together, as i thought about a video title. Ewan

Thanks Steven. I usually only take photgraphs when the conditions are truly stunning and whilst a lovely location, the process here was seriously, just to get clicking the shutter again. Interesting thoughts re the over processed daily diet though. I was thinking that I would probably do a vid in the near future which deals with that very thing - over processing, sky replacement and ai ! I might use these images as examples of 'keeping it real'! Kind feedback my friend. Best wishes! Ewan

Many thanks Tim. I really appreciate your support! Regards. Ewan

Thanks Chris. France is cool too. Ill have to get there to take some pics! = ) Ewan

Hey David, many thanks mate. Square... i know right!? Still a Pano though! ; ) Kind regards Ewan

Thanks Keith. Appreciated. Look forward to getting more out for you! Ewan

Thanks Michelle. I look forward to it too! = )

Hi Iain - good to hear form you. Yes, you are probably right, I was trying to do too much a year or two ago. Work full time, running a business, over committed with a house restoration, in which i broke an arm, a foot and nearly lost an eye (cant be having that), all the associated financial pressures that go with it, running workshops, as i was planning to launch a Passive house building company (which i am doing this year). When i do these shoots, the are often wedged in between all the chaos, which made them pressure sensitive, all of which i brought about myself. "Trying to fit 10kgs into a 5kg bag" fits the bill. Thanks for your suppport and patience! Ewan

Hey Thomas - get yourself up there! = ) Regards, Ewan

Hey Mark, thanks mate - yep, absolutely ahsow her. I was there for about an hour and a half tryingb to get that shot! Regards, Ewan

Hi Tom, I enjoy the challenge of doing this ' the hard way' as it is good for the photographic soul! Just me, the camera (another camera) and something lovely to look at! Best wishes, from NZ Ewan

Hey Ian - hope you are well. Was thinking about the other day actually, wondering how you were! Thinknkng of doing the Routeburn over several days at some point! Regards Speak soon. Ewan

Hey Marc, many thanks. Great to be back and already working on the next one and concepts of more material after that! Thanks fot being on the journey with me! Regards, Ewan

Thanks. Ewan

Hi Dylan. Many thanks for the view and the subscription. Its that very thing that keeps me going. Hope you enjoy my back catalogue. Some of it... is pretty deep (in a good way i think)! Kind regards, Ewan

I would, as it would be safer to do that than slip around algae covered rocks with waves lapping at your ankles. I do however talk in my mission statement about simplifying the images a itake with quietening the sea through longer exposures, which of course is hard to do form a boat. All the best form NZ. Ewan

LOL, yeah i forgot about the camera part! Bahahah. Appreciate your support Andrew. Im thinking of a workshop in 2025 maybe in Orkney, Maybe in Harris... maybe! Take care A. E

@@EwanDunsmuirImages everyone and their dog does the Western Isles, for a reason obviously but I'd think Ork would work. I know at least one Mainlander did workshops there (Margaret Soraya and she did Co-with some guy I can't remember including Wellness photography)

LOL Simon. Thanks fo rthe feedback, and yes... true story. Practice makes perfect, or better at least! Cheers man! Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages I was staggered how on earth your images can look so good taken with the sun so high in the sky? Beats me!

@@SimonBoothPhotography - thanks mate, the main key being reducing the DR as much as possible and then careful application of curves. Orton and HIgh pass filters help too when the dr is high! SPeak soon Simon. Its been too long!

Thanks Andrew. Appreciate our support. Hope life is well in Australia. Best wishes - Ewan
