Love the single rock with the going out - very simplistic but something you can watch and gives a calm feeling. Great photos throughout and definitely an inspiration.

Hi Gary thanks for your series on Assynt it is a amazing place. My wife and I live in Australia and the list of places we wish to visit and photograph is getting longer with yours and other Vloggers I follow, As for my favourite shot: the first one of the single rock with the tide going out.

HI Gary. My favourite is the one from your cottage garden, closely followed by your own choice. And no I won't suggest old CDs - once was enough 🤭 !!!! Great video thanks and can't wait for the next one.

Very kind of you to say, thank you

[@brentdrafts2290]

Like the road mountain shot.

[@brentdrafts2290]

Maybe remove the backwards road sign on the right off on the distance. Or maybe create a yellow sign graphic with Jagged line for rhe mountains and a camera body/lense graphic in the style of a road side sign with universal graphics. Kind of a hidden knodd to close lookers. Lol.

[@JohnPaul-ii]

2:14 this is the only way to shoot a stag. Kylesku Bridge, how could anybody just drive past this and not stop for a shot, nicely done Gary. Welles in the car all the time, so handy for beach shooting. Thanks for sharing Gary, ready & waiting for the next part.

[@GaryGough]

Gorgeous animal indeed. I had my wellies in the van too :)

[@billp8944]

I really don't get the 15 'thumbs down .. it's a nice bloke who knows his stuff sharing a bit of his knowledge and including us on his shoots .. no pressure, no sales pitch and not crap .. geezzz you 15 people must be hard up for something to do .. Thanks Gary, enjoy your stuff mate.

[@paulhudson5464]

Another great vlog. I do love that old stone hut at the end of Loch Stack but I often find the boathouse at the other end of the loch more photogenic. I see you found my favourite beach in the UK - Balnakeil Bay for cracking big sky vistas. Great Work. Have a word with Murray from Scotlands Mountains/steaming boots.

Hi Paul. The hut was on Loch Stack. I'll look that Steaming Boots fella up ;)

Hi Gary, some great shots there. Almost my back yard, I'm less than 2 hours drive away. I had the same problem withn my tripod sinking in the sand on that beach next to Durness. Some old DVDs are just the job, the extra data capacity makes them much more stable than old CDs. Honest!

Very inspiring and beautiful pictures Gary. I have been to this area but did not get much time to explore in detail when I was doing North coast 500 all round trip. Specially that bridge called Kylesku, but at that time in summer there was no snow, great shot. What was the name of your hideout where you stay and took the picture of that tree, next time I may choose the same place.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Javed. Leckmelm Holiday Cottages (Ullapool) is the gorgeous place we stayed at :)

[@dutchaus5813]

Hey Gary, the photo at the end is my fav as well. Did you do a long exposure version to flatten off the lake? Would love to see it if you did. Great work.👍🏻

[@GaryGough]

Thank you. I can't remember if I did or not. I think it was too windy to even try if I remember rightly

[@dutchaus5813]

Gary, the weather looked pretty nasty in the video! Don't blame you!

[@astridnb4420]

Another great video/images. My favorite image is them all, but if I was to be very picky, your own favorite image, I would take out the black clouds on the top left, as I find it distracting, but that's just me. Look forward to your next video, you could always sit in the car and send the drone up. Good luck, lol

[@GaryGough]

Blimey, I've actually found sombody who removes more stuff than me :) I will probably remove them when I order a print. I agree, they are a little distracting. Cheers

@@GaryGough LOL

[@lueyd6267]

This video was stunning. My favorite was the cabin in front of the lake B&W version. I'll always choose B&W I think :) The only thing I miss are the facts about each image - I know I know it takes a long time in post processing to get video, images all put together, but I try to see how I could transfer the knowledge here in my dreary state. Not a biggie. Can't wait to see who you climb a mountain for as well as the next weeks video Thank you sir for taking me to places I'll never be :)
