    I didn't manage to find that classic Glen Etive waterfall composition when we passed through on our way to Skye. I parked at the layby area near the little bridge on the Glen Etive road, walked down through the trees and found the river. It looks like I didn't continue walking far enough! Maybe next time 🙂 Some very ncie atmospheric images you have captured there.

    Definitely some lovely photos there Steve. was up there in October and back in March. My only constructive critical comment was that I thought on the vertical shot of the honeypot BEM waterfall the tree on the left didn't have enough 'breathing space' - it was quite tight. Small thing and just a personal comment. Look forward to seeing more vids now I've 'discovered' you.

    Spectacular work man. Well done. Inspiring stuff. I've been meaning to get up to the Scottish Highlands for years, but either work, the kids, the wife, or something seems to make it too challenging. But one day, I'll manage to get a few days and enough money to just go.
