    Great vlog Dan, I love The Farnes and may plan a visit next year. I hope your head came away unscathed 🤔 the Arctic Terns are incessant when near their nest. Caps are definitely recommended. I love shooting nature as you know but you do end up taking 100's if not 1000's of images 😅 You got some cracking images and definitely worthy of printing

    Hi Dan I've been in stunning locations and struggle due to as you alluded to, being overwhelmed. Luskentyre Beach on Harris is one location where I really struggled yet there are probably hundreds of fantastic shots available. You did thankfully come away with some fantastic images, I did like the reflection images that you got, that's a composition I've not seen before

    Great vlog, great images, great location and a great bunch of guys 😊 Bamburgh Castle holds special memories for me as it was on that beach that I proposed to my now wife around 30 years ago. Maybe the bottle of Northumbrian Mead helped her with her decision 🤔 😁 We're hoping to drive the Northumberland 250 in Sept so really looking forward to that trip.
