In this (rather long!) video I go hiking with my friend Joe up Beinn Bhan in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland after a fresh snowfall. We are treated to a full day of landscape photography, from waterfalls and lochans at the mountain's base to sweeping summit views from the ridge itself. It was one of the best days of photography I have ever had, so I tried to squeeze it into one video. There is, as usual, a lot of compositional discussion.

Did your vlog run on for too long? Nope. Not for a second. What a day in the hills for photography. No wonder you were so satisfied with your days work. Thank you for taking us along with you.

Alex, I've been following you for quite a while but this is by far my favorite of video of yours. The atmosphere, the compositions, the conditions are absolutely stunning. And you articulated the scenes perfectly. Congrats mate, keep up the good work. Cheers.

Just Wow ! That really does look like a once in a lifetime kind of day. I also have to say that, after recently discovering your channel, I like your straightforward, understated delivery and concentration on just the photography (compared with some of the other youtube photographers).

hello! love you're videos. Im a beginning photographer and I'm wondering your opinion on which camera I should get. Currently it's between the Canon r50 and the Nikon d750. I like the canon because of it's modern technology, beginner friendly interface, and it's sharp canon colors, but I like the Nikon because it has a larger ecosystem of lenses, it's full frame, and it would challenge me to take more time with my photos. I would also like a versatile camera that is good at videos, but I also don't need super high resolution 4k whatever specs. I'm also into landscape photography, animal photography, street photography, but not quite so much portrait photography. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, and I'm also open to other suggestions in that price range!

What a wonderful series of images. It looks too tough for me to tackle this but will go and photograph the waterfalls and the first Lochan the next time I am in Torridon. I am unlikely to get conditions like these but can always hope.

Hi Alex - thanks for posting. This is one of the best photography videos I've ever seen on RU-vid! A great story of the day, and excellent explanation of your composition thoughts. I particularly loved the pano at about 22.04, but all the pictures were fantastic! I'm off to Morar for a week tomorrow, so hope to get a pic or two...

Excellent video Alex, this is the sort of content I love. Very much enjoying your narrative and thought processes on your creative journey through the scenes, and your persistence through the ever changing conditions - very inspiring! Would you consider adding focal length / aperture to some shots to help visualise the technical elements?
@alexnail
@alexnail 6 месяцев назад
Thanks Gareth. I’ve gone back and forth on adding that information to be honest. Whilst I know some people will just like it as an extra bit of information, I think by including the settings you give them a significance. I think it’s generally better to teach technique to beginners separately so that they don’t think that there is anything special about 26mm f11 ISO100 1/10 for example!

Absolutely amazing images Alex (that final pano of Torridon, just wow). I happened to hike that exact route on my first visit to Applecross at the end of October :-) Sadly there was no snow, but those ridges were some of the most awesome I've seen in Scotland, a truly spectacular mountain. Looking forward to more from this area as you work towards your next book.
