Like your thought process here Jonny. Don't copy great images but let them inspire you to create your own. Subscribed.

Ok, new sub! Thanks for the great review, and for keeping things real.

✝️ be blessed

What time of the year did you go? We've got an upcoming trip at the beginning of November and I am just worried if we will have enough light during the day to see everything.

Well done Jonny, fantastic effort in getting the shot of Loch Coruisk, my first time there in 86, walking in from the Bothy with the clag down, was like walking into middle earth. A winter shot from there would be spectacular, tent or bivvy overnight i think, but it will be a cold one if you do with the snow down. Thanks for such a lovely vid, i felt your pain on the walk back to the van. Cheers.

Good shout not to go up Y Garn, but a good pull up Y Gribin mind you... How are you finding A7iV for landscape ? Flip screen option not on my D850, hence the review hunt on the Sony, cracking shot down the valley, Cheers from Anglesey

Hope you get better soon and can get back to what you love to do.

That’s my type of photography content. Calm and peaceful narrative. Btw great image of the Valley! I love the composing and overall look. Thank you for the input and best of luck in your journey

What a great tripod

I'm a concert photographer and it would be to get some more concert opportunities lol

Nice bag! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful!

now i probably will be over spending ( i had a 200$ budget lol )

Don't think I'd drive 12 hours for a photo, but I'd sure plan a trip with a lot more stops and roll a whole bunch of things into the trip that enables that one spot.

The macros were beautiful, the message was motivating, the ad was subtle, and the style was gentle but with good pace - i felt some Jake Frew vibes :) subscribed.

Great video of your experience transitioning your skills from one genre to another.. Just started my journey into landscape photography & being guided by a seasoned professional. Such a lesson in taking your time to think about the composition.. 1st time using ND filters. Whole new ball game.. Cheers from Australia

Just picked up this lens and I love it. What a new world of photos to take now. Also, now I'll have more photos than I know what to do with.

Hi I just ordered the A7IV. I am coming from a A7RII and now I am kind of scared I am gonna miss the megapixels. As long as I know you also came from the A7RII, maybe you can take my fear. Great Videos by the way.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍102

Great video Jonny, your honest style is very much a breath of fresh air. Living and working on Skye as a photographer, this is a location I have only been to a couple of times myself, and never come away with 'the' shot.

Is the microphone under your coat? If so, it doesn’t seem to scrape or rustle

Jonny, I am 1 year into a 2 year project to see if I can make it to be amateur landscape photographer. Your videos help

I was there about 4 weeks ago! Same route, too. I thought it was the prettiest spot I saw in 3 weeks of Scotland. Tough to find a composition hahah beautiful in all 360°. Edit- sun behind the clouds the entire time i was on the peak 😌

I love the shotgun mic, but when do you use it? Mine has sat in my bag so many times, I don’t even bring it any more.

Wow, that's an impressive amount of gear you carry in your bag Johnny! It's fascinating to hear about all the different equipment you find useful for landscape photography and video making outdoors. The amount of planning and preparation that must go into your trips really shows.Great video!

They went by fast, but those sample photos with the 35mm were really nice

Extremely nice video. Very well done and very enjoyable.

Great video Jonny! Love your insight on the gear and what you use it for. My camera bag has pretty much the same lenses minus the zoom!

I have a rule that I don’t watch gear reviews or what’s in my bag videos. But I will IGNORE the rule once just to get you another view Jonny 🤙

My back hurts just watching this :)

Huge respect Jonny! What a wonderful documentary of 'how I found and then go the shot'. I felt exhausted sitting here on the garden bench just watching you. This deserves a bigger audience than your 2.68k subscribers it's that good and is set up beautifully with your storytelling and imagery. Thank you for sharing with us.🙏🙏🙏

Great set up Jonny... and obviously your fit enough to carry it all - have you ever weighed out of curiosity? Oh ye, do you ever camp out at spots? regards Alan

I wish shimoda made a longer version of their mirrorless core unit as an option. EDIT: They DO! I didn't know they did. Awesome.

Thanks for sharing your incredible story. I love this video, it reminds me of my younger years when I hiked the Swiss Alps... though not with a camera at the time, so all my 'pictures' are in my mind :)

Thanks for sharing, love the thought process you laid out so clearly in this video!

Great Story and one view that's also been on my bucket list from Pre-Covid.

The drone shot was really something else!

That has happened to me often .... and I understand your feelings and frustration. A lot of people don't appreciate how hard it is to get a great landscape photo at the right place at the right time because many times things things just don't work out ..... especially in Scotland with the highly variable weather.

Fabulous thought process and so similar to the philosophy I use in my photography ..... picturing the shot before you go and take it! And the additional bonus in being in my beautiful homeland of Scotland. Great work Jonny .... now off to watch some more of your videos to get more inspiration.

Beautiful. Love the Isle of Skye, and that view of the Cullin Ridge is incredible.

Respect dude...that sounds like a hike I'd probably shy away from just based on it's length (I'm out of shape, lol)...but my god, what a spot! Being alone in places like that alone is crazy, almost indescribable. Those conditions, wow you lucked out with those God rays! The one of you standing there is 'epic'.

That was a really interesting film Jonny. Everything came together for you in the end and your effort was well worth it. Thanks for documenting the trip.

Excellent video, really enjoyed it and some great pictures

Stunning video and outstanding commentary. I love my photography and in years gone by before picking up a camera I would have been physically and mentally able to take on such walks. A truly inspiring and moving video. Thanks

Good stuff John, keep at it!

Wonderful video Brings back memories of my four hikes there. Glad you got some great lighting for your shots

That was one awesome study trip, Jonny, and it's enjoyable to see one of your videos again matey. Keep them coming when you can pal! Inspirational :)

I felt that one Jonny, great journey, awesome locale and views. How sweet is that feeling 🤗 Brilliant video 🤙

Amazing video and spot, and great storytelling as always! I am a hiking guide and hobby photographer, and I learned that distance and elevation gain are just numbers if not related to the weight to carry with you. But I also never thought too much about it, obviously until I learned it the hard way: delay, dehydration, excessive fatigue... If I can give some value to this comment: on a solitary place and hike you can leave weight (equipment, food/water, clothes...) in some hidden place just before the hard part starts. You pick it later when descending (set a reminder on the phone).

I would watch your videos even if you'd take photos with a potato. Love your attitude and storytelling! Keep it up! :)
