Exploring and Photographing Stunning Coastal Villages

[@akf367]

You make a wonderful ambassador for Scottish tourism. Keep the videos coming!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you very much :)

[@martinhogarth3862]

Looks a fantastic coastline, hope you got some shot of the birds.

[@isabelladavis1363]

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you Isabella :) Glad you enjoyed it.

[@stukelful]

Stunning!

Hello Kim. When I first started watching your vlogs many months ago, I thought they were definitely travel inspiring yet ordinary. However, now I think they have definitely improved and I enjoy watching them. You have become more than inspiring but desirable to watch. Very good vlogs. If I were able, I would join one of your photo groups to enjoy the Scotland beauty. The coast, the castles, the landscape, the wildlife, the towns and the architecture are all so beautiful. If only .......

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you very much Henry. It's lovely to hear that you're enjoying the videos and have seen an improvement in the recently. I hope that you'll continue to enjoy what's to come in the future :)

I think if there is pretty and vibrant colors in what you are shooting then sometimes during the bright sunlight it really brings those out. Especially like you said how the colors look so good together in the yellow in the flowers and the blue in the sky. Also when you have great color in the ocean it doesn't come out as well without the bright sunlight.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Very good point and observation Travis. I too agree with the sea not looking as colourful and vibrant without the sun.

[@desgardner7169]

Wow, a blue sky, blue sea, a lovely village, does it matter what time of the day it is, the crashing of the waves the noise of the pebbles, I would have stopped there all day, again what a lovely video to wake up to on a Sunday morning......Thanks for sharing, that was lovely....

[@kimgrantphotography]

It certainly is a lovely place. Glad you enjoyed the video once again :)

[@Noealz]

you make everywhere you go look lovely :)

[@kimgrantphotography]

That's lovely to say - thank you :)

[@lakesrhino1]

Enjoyable vlog thanks. Really like your enthusiasm but that's what some sunshine can do. I don't have a major problem photographing during the day. As long as the sun is behind you get well lit scenes and the colours can be very vivid, then it's down to the composition.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Very good advice and glad you enjoyed the vlog :)

[@tjsinva]

I suspect that's a rare combination in that location, sunny, warm, and calm. Hearty folk indeed. Nice tour, you'll have to go back for a sunrise shoot someday. Rock on!

[@kimgrantphotography]

I certainly will! Such a beautiful location.

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Very nice Kim, your East coast reminds me very much of ours here in Yorkshire with beatiful villages and sea cliffs full of birds :D I liked your images and fiully agree a good photo can be taken at any time of day and in any weather ....You just have to work at it :D Thank you for sharing this trip to Crovie ;D Teddy

[@kimgrantphotography]

You're very welcome Teddy. Glad to remind you of somewhere closer to home too. Thanks again for watching :)

[@shaunsim6013]

great video

[@charlesgardner4875]

Thanks for sharing ! Comes to show you can great photos any time of the day.

[@arteetmarteperfect4518]

Your enthusiasm is contagious. We’re off out!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Woo hoo! Hope you had a great time :)

[@mick8586]

great video again Kim , and what a great place , enjoyed it

[@debbierooker4930]

Great video Kim. Such a beautiful coastline & I love love love that coastal path, what an inspiring, exhilarating walk. I love crashing waves & those sounds you spoke of. And what I love too is how you mention that it's ok to take images at midday 😊🌞 even though it's not perfect conditions for photography. And without clouds, colour in the sky & interesting light but bright sunshine and blue skies, you can still create images! I think that's such an important message, because even capturing something at the wrong time of day, it's a memory of that moment in time & that's what I truly love about photography 😚 x

[@witcheater]

Just within the video I saw so much of which I would have photographed. I hope that you did. If not, hope for you that you will someday. Good vid. Makes me still want to visit your homeland.

[@giselesmith7795]

What an amazingly beautiful place. I could happily spend a day or two there just exploring. Thank you for sharing this place with us.

[@kimgrantphotography]

You're very welcome :)

[@jerrysmith7385]

What a nice place Kim, felt like I was there with you, great job !

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Hi Kim, I lived in Aberdeen for 2 years and back then I wasn’t into landscape photography, but even then I loved the coastline there. Great video BTW 👍

[@kimgrantphotography]

The coastline is stunning. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy it when you lived in this area :)

[@alanandkarenbootholdfield6179]

Hi Kim First visit to your vlog I agree its not always possible to take photos between the golden hour and blue hour. Love you photos,i do most of my photography when ever i can

[@kimgrantphotography]

Welcome to the journey! Glad you agree and nice to hear that you get out and enjoy photography whenever you can. Keep it up :)

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

Hi Kim, its a beautiful place alright.... Photographer's paradise.... It's almost "Quirky" Ooops, getting as bad as you Kim.... Love the Vlog, thanks for taking us with you...XX

[@jandrogc]

Thanks for sharing. As always, your videos are encouraging. I agree with the piece of advice you have given to us ... Every time of the day is good for photography. Thanks

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you very much. Glad that you enjoyed it :)

[@MikeChesworthPhotography]

I enjoyed this video. I have been struggling with my photography lately. As somebody who can't drive getting out for sunrise/sunset is difficult for me, so it certainly shows that you can shoot at any time of the day.

[@kimgrantphotography]

I'm glad that it gave you some inspiration Mike. Summer is always a difficult time for landscape photographers and for finding inspiration. Experimentation is the key.

[@MikeChesworthPhotography]

@@kimgrantphotography Thanks. I'm definitely going to be experimenting and shooting what I can locally. 👍

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

I was impressed on my wee trip the other week. Ended up in Gourdon, doing similar to you and shooting during the middle of the day, not edited that vlog or images yet but really enjoyed stopping in at the harbours and will be back up for sure. Looks like you had a good adventure!

[@kimgrantphotography]

There are many amazing wee coastal villages and harbours to explore and photograph around Aberdeenshire. It's lovely.

[@ravenfallsphotography6254]

"Quirky" Count: 3 And is gorse the same plant as broom? Good job getting midday shots; the waves were particularly nice.

[@johndobson1957]

Is Gorse the same as Broom? No. They are similar though. Gorse has rigid spikes, Broom doesn't.

[@anselman3156]

@@johndobson1957 Broom is also in much abundance at the moment. It brings to mind the old Scottish song "Yellow on the broom". Gorse or broom, the yellow does make for great colour contrast with blue skies and fresh green leaves of trees and hedgerows.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you for answering this John :)

[@SkynetfrSkynetfr]

👍Nice video

[@iansoutdoorsrecovery7971]

Great video thank you for sharing I'm of to loch Leven for hike and bit photography

[@kimgrantphotography]

I hope you had a great time :)

[@DonJoyce]

Love the path! Next time, better pack a lunch. Great vlog, Kim! And photography rules? Clearly made to be broken!

[@davidsworld5837]

crovie not very disabled or elderly friendly what was the distance between car park and the village. was there any shops or pub can see families wanting to take kids there

[@kimgrantphotography]

There is a small parking area down in the village for residents but I'm guessing disabled and elderly can use too if needed. There is no shops or pub, just stunning views and wildlife to be enjoyed. Plenty of shops and pubs a few miles down the road at the next village though :)

[@rodneyhardwick4973]

Don’t stand so close to the edge of cliffs
