Photographing Scot's Pine in Torridon 

There's so much to explore in that area of Scotland, and with the ever changing weather adding to the anticipation of the potential photographs. 'The Great Wilderness' is an amazing book and great value, with the included location maps as well as the photos.

Hi Alex: Thank you for creating and sharing this video. Your timing on releasing this video is perfect as we are in the process of planning a trip to Scotland for May 2025 and Torridon along with Loch Carron is on our bucket list of many locations to visit. The image that you captured of the hail storm is amazing. Keep well. . . . Cheers, Keith (Canada) P.S. Congratulations on the new addition to your family.

Lovely! Really enjoyed seeing comparison shots and hearing you talk through the differences in light, composition and weather!

I love the way you talk through the options for each composition. It makes me think! (Mainly that I must try harder with my own efforts!)

Always a pleasure. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Alex, you continue to inspire and provide incredible value with your content mate 🙌

Really enjoyed that Alex and looking forward to more videos!

Fantastic video, pictures and talking through. Your work is always inspiring and great to watch. Thank you 🙏👌🔥🙂

Really enjoyable viewing, Alex. And agree, the last image is a knock out

Two great images, both feel very authentic. Excited for the new book!

Great composition advice 👍🙂

Some gorgeous shots! You really captured some great atmosphere and thank you for enduring the hail storm to capture the shot.

Great to hear more videos are on the way!

A wonderful insight into your process as always. And super exciting that there will be another book. :-) Looking forward to the next video. 🙂

Congrats to you and your wife for becoming parents. That kid will be on a lotta adventures.

Really enjoyed this, as ever!

Beautiful images Alex! Looking forward to the Torridon edition!

Interesting location and great to have you back!! Best wishes to all three of you 🎉🎉🎉

From midges to hail. Something is always biting.

A nicely executed video on composition.

Smart shots Alex. They both feel really indicative of the Scottish (and Torridonian) landscape, while still feeling like your work. Looking forward to the next book project!

Congratulations on becoming a father Alex, I’m sure you’ll all have many exciting adventures together in the Highlands in the years to come. The discussion of the first image was great and I can see how much the palette changed, in the video the tree in distance you managed to get separation as it sits in the V of the burn, but in the images it’s touching the other trees of the foreground Alex as my eye is drawn to that tree as you follow the burn, maybe it was your intent to highlight the fallen tree more as with its branches it evokes an almost stag like presence. The second image for me has that atmosphere you mentioned re Scottish weather but the layering the hail created was immense and I actually liked the first attempt as I liked the midground pines, the final attempt though does convey quick get the shot and retreat to the pub! 😂

Alex, I wish so many of the camera phone snappers watched this, then they may have something worth looking at later! A small movement this way or that, a little lower or higher adds so much; or, just walk around an area to see what works best... Thanks for filming and posting this. Many should find it very useful. One last thing, if people do walk around looking for the best shot, take care not to step on anything, and watch where you are going! MRTs are busy at the best of times.

Amazing shots and its really interesting to see fantastic landscape images take at times other than Sunset or Sunrise, Ewan

Hi Alex, really enjoyed that video as always. With the hailstorm scene, I actually much prefer the initial one you took, when the hail was stronger, as in the other photo, the path in the middle distance was slightly 'cutting the photo in half', whereas in the one you've gone for, the foreground trees mask off much more of the unsightly path. Look forward to your next video!
