That was insane Paul but you can't complain about the light, your post processing really brought out the drama of the location

[@anthonymcneill1465]

Spectacular and epic scenery and on the other hand there is peril at one false step. In my view, a unforgettable journey as I do look forward to a visit there, although not on the edge of the cliff. Thanks for sharing!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Absolutely the boat was a treat

[@ritagray3716]

OMGOSH PAUL!! Such a fascinating and exciting video. The last 10% was pure excitement to watch as you boated away from your hike to get there, your great photos and then saying goodbye to such an amazing day! This video is awesome😁!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Thanks so much! wow

[@radspanner]

Paul I noticed the bag you were carrying had a

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

had a ???

[@radspanner]

Sorry Paul really cocked the message up... I wondered what bag you used in the Faroe Islands. The one with the pocket for a drinks bottle or your small tripod. It looks just what I need. Would you recommend magnetic filters. I would love to join you there in 2023 if possible. Your videos especially the Faroe drone footage are amazingly amazing.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

you are to kind, i have one place left for the 2023 trip, and i have started a 2024 trip for others.. please contact me paulcomptonpdphotography.co.uk/contact look forward to chatting.. my bag is a Shimoda x50

[@lucazampoldortia795]

Hello Paul, amazing video and stunning places as always! Im going to Faroe Islands in less than one month and Im obviously planning to go to Drangarnir. May I ask you how did you book the tour guide please? Thank you so much!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

i had t do it on the Faroe trip site, its the only way you can do it..

[@PMCN53]

THat was another fantastic episode Paul! Fantastic shots and lot's of keepers! A real treat to be able to go around and through the arch. Even better not to have to hike back LOL! Looking forward to #7?

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

lol you can say that again

[@duncanmeechan5694]

Amazing! What a fabulous place to visit, it is no wonder you were excited about going. Fantastic images you took, a bit of a shame you never got the “ideal light” but your editing was terrific and you made great use of the light you had. Another smashing video Paul, thanks for sharing it with us 😀👍

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Many thanks! coupple more to come.

[@duncanmeechan5694]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography I am looking forward to seeing them 😁👍

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

thank you

Great vídeo! Is it now necessary to go with a guide? What is the contact of yours with the boat in the end? Thank you!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Yes, it is you cant walk without, the boat man was Helga's dad you have to book through the site

[@glynollier3727]

Immense! That was just a bit special Paul. Everything must seem a little mundane after a trip like that. Felt a bit seasick when you were on the boat 📷👏🥇

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Glad you enjoyed it and there is more to come, get your sick pills ready

[@ferguscooper]

Great vlog Paul. Heading there in April. This was a big help. Love your Osmo attached to the tripod - Osmo Pocket or Osmo Action and how do you attach it when vlogging as you shoot. Great shots as well BTW even though the conditions were far from ideal. Regards, Fergus.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

i use hummingbird from Ulanzi to connect, and Osmo Pocket is my tool

[@ferguscooper]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Fantastic. I have the Osmo Pocket 1 and 2 and find the 2 super. Will check that out. Keep them coming.

dont get the 1 you need the 2 its way better

@@paulcomptonpdphotography I know. I have both. 👍👍

[@iainmc9859]

Geology made simple: Igneous - it came out of a volcano Sedimentary - it eroded from other rocks Metamorphic - its been heated at pressure beneath the Earth's surface. Don't think of it as three totally separate groups, there's grey areas in-between, don't think of it as being linear, its more like the exposure triangle, except its not a triangle ! The Faroe's is made up mainly Igneous rock that is geologically young, so not much of it has eroded away yet. Which is why its so spiky ..... and doesn't have fossils. Whatever its made of its bloody awesome 👍

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

wow mate thank you, so there are fossils just to low to see yet

[@garyalawrence]

No Paul. No fossils! Any dinosaurs would have nothing to eat and be cooked. Faroe islands are three layers of basalt formed from molten lava so no plants or animal s until relatively recent times .

[@iainmc9859]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Not really. Volcanoes happen on the edge of the tectonic plates of the Earth's surface. Think of it as the cracked skin on a cooling custard. As the plates float about over millions of years the lighter rock skims over the top of the heavier rock pushing the heavier rock down. The heavier rock melts, heated by the Earth's core, and all fossils in it are destroyed; before eventually it comes back out of a volcano somewhere (think of it as rock re-cycling). Metamorphic rock is a bit of a half-way house and can retain some fossil structures. Marble often has bits of fossil in it but the matrix is so dense that its very difficult to get individual fossils out. There are lots of KZbin videos that explain it better than me. Just look up 'Plate Tectonics'. 🤔

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

wow thats so cool

lian thanks

Hello. Thank you for your film. I am going to the Faero Islands May 10. I was there i October 2023. Do you have an address for the guided tour from Sørvagur to the Draganir?

i only go manual if its over 30 seconds

Ta Paul.

welcome

[@hikerdude10]

Epic adventure Paul. Hope you don't mind a couple of questions. Since this was a guided tour that included non 'serious' photographers, did you find yourself pressed for time to compose, set up and take your shots? Also do you mind saying how much the tour cost? Regarding processing, I generally like your results. However, have you tried using the AI enhance sliders in Luminar? I know many folks look down on this software, but I have found that it can do a great job bringing more 'life' to images taken in flat light, by bringing out tonal and color contrast. I think that it would help to pop the greens in some images. Thanks for sharing your on-gong adventures.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

hahahaha wow you read my mind, i have just been contacted by Skylum and given the new Luminar Neo, and i have a very rough video out this Friday... 73 euro for the dragonair hike and i had time to sort out the imaes i wanted.. yes your on a time limit, but saying that it was more about getting the boat, Helga said i could stay and walk back if i wanted to..

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

If you fancy this trip, i am doing one taking up to 6 with me next year, the price includes the hike, and we may get the day to just us if there is enough.. email me

do you need to get a tour or can you just hike up there alone?

100% tour guide, they own the land and can see you from their house..

@@paulcomptonpdphotography that's a bummer

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

worth paying for the trip

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

This for me was the highlight of the trip, a place i have wanted to vivsit for quite a few years now never thinking i would get there, seeing it was amazing. Our Guide Helga was very nice and made the walk interesting but saying that i think i did most of the talking.. I am sorting a return trip out for September 2023 and have a couple places left and this hike is 100% on the trip and in the price of the trip.. www.paulcomptonpdphotography.co.uk/2023-trip

[@Turanic1]

I've looked at hike complexity and all I realized, there is none, the only reason there is a guide is for pure money grab , these paid guided hikes discourage me visiting Faroe...

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

The reason is to stop the ware on the land, they only do two walks a week. its to stop the paths and land getting messed up
