    Never tire of your quiet, contemplative artistry and the adventures you take us all on, Adrian. Love the magnificent Stag in his native element. Thank you.

    My wife and I both enjoyed how you interspersed drone footage with your on-the-ground video! I know you've done that in all your videos lately, but this one seemed different, more intentional. The result created a pleasing visual 'flow' that told the story as well as any documentary could! Your choice of music made the perfect pairing, as well, icing on the cake! Very well done!

    Another lovely video Adrian. Some stunning images and a great narrative about your photography and Scotland. I particularly liked how you explained the use of varying focal length to change the composition and emphasis for the lone tree with the mountain backdrop, excellent work, thank you.

    Hi Adrian, i certainly did enjoy the Format and i never get tired of watching Scotland and all your videos. I remember the Tree you were talking about and it was a beautiful image, and i liked the Tree shot at 85mm. Loved the Deer and the reflection from the water, as well as that one lane Road and the surrounding views when you were driving were spectacular. I know you don't normally take photos of Waterfalls but i'm glad you did this time, that was a great shot. Loved the Drone footage it showed the beauty that Scotland is. 😃

    Wow. Thank you for this. I walked the Cape Wrath trail a few years ago and this makes me want to go back! I used to photograph a lot but then I lost, well.. I forgot, my camera, on the isle of Skye, near Storr. I laid it down on a rock to put on my raingear, I had just come down from the Trotternish Ridge. Then I just left it there.. I didnt buy a new one for a few years because I wanted to travel more lightweight. But this year I bought another camera. Monochrome actually, and it rekindled my enthousiasm for photography. I had thought of walking the CWT again, and seeing this video makes me want to do that more so, but then take double the time for it so I can photograph it properly.

    Hi Adrian. Love the format and the journey you take is on. Amazing work, and those stag images were fantastic. I thought the bit about the naked hiker was hilarious. Not something you tend to think off when out in Scotland lol. I know you will continue as this is your passion, but please keep sharing with us. I personally live vicariously through your work on your videos and hope to be living similar, but shorter, adventures of my own soon. Thank you

    Una area preciosa y mas aun fuera de temporada, todo el norte lo que forma parte de la North Coast 500 se llena de Campervans y gente, lo mismo me pasa con Skye y creo que al final se desmerece un poco la experiencia. Un gusto ver estas tierras desde tu punto de vista. Aunque eso si, la pronunciación sería "Balag" na bá (🙂) como en Loch (Logg)

    Ps! I discovered the abandoned Valdresbana Railroad at Fall by Søndre Land this autumn, it's amazing! But I need to learn focus stacking before I go back there, to compress the images with a telephoto lens, to make the curves more dramatic, and still have everything in focus. I think that railroad should be amazing for black&white photography.
