I don't normally comment, but I thought I'd respond to your question about mixing landscape and wildlife in the same video. For me, I love when you do that. Like you, I'm interested in a lot of different types of photography, so it's great. Another REALLY important point. Please keep being a real person on your channel. I absolutely love seeing you with a little indecision, or making a mistake here and there, or "settling" for a handheld shot, and for caring mostly about what *you* like in a photo. That's a big reason why I watch every one of your videos. You're sharing your techniques and processes, yes, but also you're sharing yourself. Many channels miss that human element which is so important.

I have been a subscriber for only a few months to your channel. Have been to Scotland half a dozen times since 2013. I have seen that castle and have photographed Puffins near where I think you were at over there last year. I do both forms of photography that you showed in this video and I like the mix. Either way I would prefer to be travelling than being cold where I live in the Southern Hemisphere.

Showing landscape and birds in the same video? Fine with me!

Absolutely! When you add the landscape photos with the wildlife photos, you get a better sense of the environment in which they live.

Mix is fine - whatever comes along naturally

A mix of landscape and wildlife suits me fine, it's how I shoot most days!

Both subjects is fine Brent considering the landscape is the wildlifes natural home it's the perfect combination to me. Brilliant video and perfect music to accompany it.Glad the weather played ball for you this year too.

Just WOOOW! I fully understand that you can't decide what to photograph 😅 Scotland is amazing....mix of both is just fine! Have a good time in Scotland and thanks for sharing it with us!

Glad you enjoyed your Scotland trip and that the weather was kind to you and Camera Lady. Wish her well for me. You have gone to ‘Gods own country’ and made it look even more stunning 👏👏 Great video as always. Phil AKA keepclickingphotography

Happy with a mix; happy with them separate. Your content is great either way, and I enjoy both. Scotland looked great. No mention of midges? Thanks for a great blog. Hope camera lady is feeling better soon.

Thanks, I appreciate that! There were zero midges. That's why I like the east coast during the summer 😁

I love all nature photography and I feel the inner struggle to decide between landscape and wildlife. Should I bring my landscape lenses or my 600mm…. Mixing it up in a video sounds great to me!

Beautiful part of the world I’m staying here at Toadhall on a yoga and mindfulness! I know Angela! I’m going to film some videos out here and take some photos!

It was definitely a real treat to have that weather, and I'm already looking forward to next time!

Mix of landscape and wildlife.

Nice mix, the nine days we were there in late April early May, we had one day with rain and fog. Not much sun, but that was OK, too. Already feeling the urge to go back, but need to wait.

Wow. Brent, I really enjoyed this video a lot. Scottland looks like an amazing place... Really need to save up and attend one of your workshops.. Thanks for the videos and the inspiration.

If you're concentrating on just landscape or just wildlife, you're bound to miss something from the other category. But of course if you're doing both, you need more lenses in tow...

Definitely true, but in my defense, I often shoot landscapes with long lenses too. 😜😁

Mixing wildlife and landscape genres is a-ok, by me.

The flower is a Foxglove - it contains digitalis a heart drug :)

Awe inspiring 👏 hope the weather keeps behaving and midgies stay away 😊

It really was crazy, 70s and sunny the entire time. No midges either, but that's why I like the east coast in the summer.

I like a mix of both wildlife and landscape. BTW, your image stabilizer is on with the camera on the tripod (min 5:18). I'm not being critical. I've made that mistake so many times that I now have a yellow sticky inside my flippy screen that reminds me to check it. It says simply, "STAB?" I know there are a lot of people that say they can't tell the difference, but I can.

If there's a worthy creature or landscape composition, take the photo otherwise you will regret it, and so will we.
