I've Neglected this for Too Long

[@valeriar6671]

I enjoy taking (lots of) photos on my hill walks, it's part of the fun. If you enjoy it too, and have the time for it, keep doing it. I think that your photos are stunning and they are the icing in the cake to your videos 👌

[@MrJimDG]

i had noticed the lack of photis, and missed them. glad thry're back, and it stays that way

[@glenblaven]

Understatement of the year, “I’m not a photographer” - brilliant pics Murray, in this and many of your videos. Great addition to the footage. S

[@DAoutdoors]

Good evening Murray. Some stunning photos there. I love the ones right at the end of the waterfalls, absolutely fantastic. What a very ‘atmospheric’ day you had there. Didn’t start of with much promise but certainly came good in the end. There were some fantastic crags in the Coire. All the best mate 😀⛰🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Dave - absolutely agree - there was something about the rock perched at the side of the waterfall and lone treee that caught my eye (and the iPhone was fine to capture it :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@carolehouston3959]

You should be proud of your photography as it shows you “have an eye” for photo subjects and they are a pleasure to look at. You are helping a lot of would be walkers see what we are missing. I am no longer fit enough to “ take to the hills” but can be there because of your fab videos and photos. Keep them coming.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - very much appreciated 🙏

[@Jonathanart-jm9fx]

For someone who doesn't class himself as a photographer, you take a damn good photo!

[@juliebarker-4245]

Photography is a wonderful pastime and to look back on what you've captured never gets boring in my opinion. I love looking back on all the photos that my husband and myself have taken over the years around the world. ATB Murray and look forward to your next adventure. Stay safe up there.

[@mikeoglen6848]

I agree. They are a great aide-memoir...

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Julie - I absolutely agree - I’ve been neglecting this (especially when I filmed this one - over a year ago !) . I also really enjoy the editing of the photos too - great memories :) Thanks for watching M

[@ivorcomment1526]

Great video as ever - please keep the stills in the videos - maybe at the end as you did this time. One day I hope you will sell some images!

[@mikeoglen6848]

Very nice, Murray, albeit a bit of a Dreich day...

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Driech was a good word for this no outing for sure :) Thanks for watching M

[@kristin8932]

Came back here bc I thought I needed to edit a typo and it was bugging me, and couldn't find my comment? I swear me and technology are mortal enemies lol. Anyway, not only do I love your vids, but it would also be my vote that you include more stills. You truly have a great eye, and I can't tell you how much I loved the stunning, moody shots you got. I like to take pics on my Iphone of nature and landscapes, and love looking at photography of the same, so this was a big treat! Thanks so much Murray, fantastic vid as well as great choices in music, added to my playlist 👍

[@lyndseywilson9462]

Great video, atmospheric and classic Scottish hill weather. Thanks Murray

[@wendyshort5972]

Another great video Murray. The scenes were spectacular. It did look a bit damp. The shots were good and the black and white shots looked good too. Well done.

[@clansman66]

Love you are touching on the photography side of your channel, much as I love the mountains I also love photography and really enjoy seeing your images, you are long overdue meeting up with Tom Heaton again.

[@deborahtravis5688]

There’s something about the still Image well taken that catches an atmosphere. Loved them. I like the diverse nature of your work. As always your videos are a highlight of the week.

[@drumick67]

Still here enjoying watching your adventures

[@brycehermon5939]

Keep up the great work Murray. You have a natural talent which brings a lot of pleasure to a lot of people.

[@iainmatheson9498]

100% for including Photography. Got a personal passion for it but absolutely enhances the videos, Even perhaps include camera settings as a sidetone on some of them so we can learn and take inspiration. Huge fan. Looking forward to your next adventure

[@jupitersmoon7]

You've taken some stunning shots in the years you've been making these videos Murray, many professional photographers would be proud.

[@glenmurray8447]

Photos get a thumbs up 👍🏻 from me. And there were some beauties there😎

[@solarenergy5157]

definitely want to see more pictures. it's a great addition to the video and give you another way to appropriate the natural beauty in Scottish Mountains.

[@marilynchivers4730]

Another excellent video Murray & your pictures are lovely to look at & certainly add to the "adventure " 🎉 You are so natural in front of the camera & make it "real"! Please keep these vidios coming 🥳. Thanks for sharing 👌

[@charlesj60]

I did this with my dad almost 50 years ago. Hoping to get back there again before my legs finally give out - but if not, your videos are the next best thing!

[@marcomclean3605]

I can tell Glencoe is definitely one of your favourites Murray, quite rightly so it's an amazing place. I haven't done a munro recently but managed a couple of Corbett's, Ben Vrackie and The Merrick further south which were great hills. Thanks again for this one mate.

[@mk1aquatic739]

Excellent stuff, much better than anything on the tv again. The photos definitely compliment the video.

[@leehigham231]

Lovely photos...

[@suebrown3465]

There’s an eerie atmosphere as you peacefully climb the mountain The b/w photos show more of the details of the terrain as you’re not distracted by colour Well done video..as always..take care 🇨🇦❤️

[@ScotSpirit]

Thanks for the time and effort you put in to give us these vlogs Murray, much appreciated top bloke 👌👍 ATB

[@BrianWelshPhotography]

nice 1 Murray ..was up camping 2 nights ago just to the right of the bealach .. its the best route up in my opinion away from the crowds ..cheers for another wed night entertainment

[@78Alcione]

Awesome video, stunning photos. Thank you for sharing.

[@kisilvan]

Really liked the a7iii photos. Interesting to see the comparisons as a very amateur photographer. Hope the scotch egg wasn't too lonely while you were gone. Sacrilege indeed! 😢😂

[@ScotlandsMountains]

The scotch egg didn’t survive very long after I got back to the van 🚐!! 😂😂

[@kisilvan]

@ScotlandsMountains 😯🤣

[@grantdempster1983]

Murray, Your still shots work well for me, especially the black and white, very atmospheric :-) But your video is very good too! All in all, great work

[@timrosenburgh8597]

I enjoyed the video as usual Murray. I think seeing the photograph's adds to the video. Nice one. Come on Murray when does the weather forecast get it right lol. Catch you on the next one mate.

[@markreed2937]

Really enjoying your videos, keep up the great work

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you - very much appreciated

[@nozo61]

Yes, I always love the photos, I can pause and really drink in the atmosphere. I think you’re a great photographer 👍

[@alisonlyons4691]

I really enjoyed this Murray, l don't know how l havnt bumped into you in the glen, im there such a lot. Hiking and taking photos. Honestly you are being very modest,, your photos are stunning, and you capture some wonderful moments......l just bought a Keela Pinnacle Jacket, so far it's doing a great job. Thank you as always for a grand hike.....Alioban ❤

[@rayharris245]

Hi Murray you will be able to look at your photographs for many years to come, when you see the waterfalls from the road in Glencoe you don t realise how big they are up close stay safe..

[@philpoole5670]

The quality of your videos and photos are always first class 👍

[@murchiesmountains2820]

Brilliant Murray 😍👍..I love it up there..Bivvied up there with Stripey before..Just something amazing about that side of Glen Coe😍..Top video .. Cheers Murchie

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

This is a truly beautiful video! The Isle of Skye and Glen Coe offer such breathtaking scenery, and your shots of the Red Cuillin are absolutely stunning. It's clear how much thought you’ve put into capturing the essence of this location. The way you share your reflections adds a personal touch that makes the video even more engaging. Fantastic work, and what a stunning place to explore! 🌄👏

[@annemay8379]

Watching for a second time as I enjoyed this so much! Thanks Murray for some superb photography in my favourite place. It cheered me no end after a rather boring day of chores! Loved the black and white photos and the shots of the waterfall. Also noticed some interesting colours in the lichens on the rocks during your ascent. Thanks again for cheering my day. 👏⛰️❤️😄

[@masoninthemountains]

Man, this video so resonates with me. I've been a long-time photographer but now that I'm spending more time with video on my small, but growing KZbin channel, photos have taken a back seat due to the extra time it takes on top of my video shooting. I'm a stills guy by heart, but I'm enjoying the video side as well. Thanks for this video Murray!

[@craigwilson1604]

Nice to see the photos that's what I do as I bet a lot of your viewers do, walk and take photos and I took my favourite photo in Glencoe on a iPhone 11 pro half way up the devils staircase looking back at the little white cottage 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

The iPhones are great and getting better and better - one day we won’t need cameras for sure ! Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@lesdodds6491]

Superb as ever, keep the stills coming if you get time, thank you

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Your adventures will bring you great memories to recall Murray when you get into your retirement years! While relaxing in a quiet place enjoying a drink of choice!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Absolutely - I am sure one day in the not too distant future I will look back and wonder what I was doing !! 😂👍

[@paulrennie7533]

We love the photos.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@itsablack1]

The photos are great , keep them coming ..

[@milco8755]

Murray, it doesn’t matter what we (the viewers/subscribers) think. The main thing is that you enjoy the time you spent capturing or not capturing / editing them. Do it for you, I think most of us are happy to come along for the ride… Having said that, if the premise of the video is to go and shoot some landscapes then by all means show them. Some of the shots that you, Ray and Stripey have captured are amazing and do add to the videos. I think you and Ray (if I remember correctly) have shared some amazing images over the years from Beinn a’ Chrulaiste as an example. They definitely make me want to start carrying the bigger camera again back up into the hills purely for the purpose of capturing something fleetingly beautiful. Hope this makes sense. Long story short, you do you.

[@ellenlepore3083]

Beautiful atmospheric views and photos🏔️! I do appreciate the gorgeous pictures from your cameras as well! Absolutely stunning mountain location!

[@sapphieburry5216]

Beautiful photography 🤩

[@ScotlandsMountains]

🙏

[@MsGilmo]

yes, keep the stills in the video! Looks like a great waterfall to photograph!

[@tonystrange7224]

Cracking video as always Murray. And feel your pain re the Scots eggs in the van. At least a good treat for when you got back.

[@iainmaciver4430]

Aye Murray the photos are just the business 👍👍

[@davidkay1612]

Like pics especially the monochrome something special about shades of grey in photos

[@hugoed3740]

Beautiful photography Murray, it captures the atmosphere of the Glen Coe. I think they add extra flavour to your video; still photography can encapsulates the physical aspects that create the mood of the landscape at that unique moment in time. Your skills and dedication to produce the end product are clearly appreciated by your subscribers. Cheers 🥃

[@heathercampbell6906]

great video absolutely amazing pictures love them can’t wait 2 see what you got nxt week love them 👍👍

[@onemanhisdawg2324]

Wonderful photos, you could frame some of them ⛰️🏔️👌

[@norskattforfun8575]

Great photos and never boring to add them

[@ross077]

It's definitely worth taking photos on both the camera and the phone whilst in the mountains in my experience. You never know which one is going to work out better. Thanks for sharing your pics, Murray - I think they add to the video 👍

[@peterdouglas3170]

Great photos Murray but hard to distinguish between all three loved them all 🏔

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Agreed - unless on the big tele 📺:)

[@Fatgerman]

I'm a fellow Coire nam Beith fan, it's my favourite spot in Glen Coe. Recognised it immediately from the thumbnail:) I love the photographs, they capture the atmosphere in a way video can't I think. The two mediums complement each other nicely.

[@simonrangeley]

Not the first time I've heard you say you are not really a photographer. Strange because I've seen some of the best photos ever of Scottish mountains on here. Amazed you don't sell prints. Or even calanders and books. Do the whole Colin Baxter thing. Your photos are definitely good enough.

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I think the photos today were all wonderful. I imagine I’m not seeing a ton of difference, is because I’m watching this on my own iPhone 11! I guess I’ll have to rewatch this on the big TV and get a better look! I’m assuming you convert some of those shots to B&W in your computer. Love that. Cheers, and ATB!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi Erin - absolutely correct - I convert them to black and white in Lightroom when editing them :) the iPhone 11 maybe old but still does a great job :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@stevenanderson5404]

More pics definitely 👌

[@GoSummitSolo]

Aye u think they add to videos. Depends on the type. Of video though u know. Think sometimes maybe too many people who arnt interested may skip. But baout having some and not too many maybe? There or still doesn't do any harm. Thanks again. 👍 I wonna go up that one again some day.🎉

[@patriciarichards87]

Great video and explanation of everything. Beautiful views of one of the best spots anywhere. Wonderful x

[@egallagher41]

Miraculous, thank you

[@zinzanontour.1006]

cracking photos.

[@RichardReeve_K1W1]

I’m a still photography person and a black and white tragic so keep loading the black and white film into the A7III and keep displaying the atmospheric photos you take. 😊

[@Neohurricane]

The photos are great, thank you for sharing them.

[@bivouacphotography4768]

More photos ❤

[@cam8212]

Carrying the heavier gear can be a pain and of course the stunning pic u take on ur phone, u always think, dammit , wish I'd brought the big camera! Nowadays with the editing software everything can be " corrected" . Great video as always

[@hysicdp]

great video mate

[@philjones3335]

You always take quality photos, any one of your atmospheric mountain black and white photos would look good on my wall👍. Anyway, which model of revolution race trousers are you wearing, there are so many i struggle to make the right choice

[@johnbrown1135]

Photos well good adds to the videos.. Also historical record maybe small date time place where taken.. In links.. Unless hiding from the wife/work 😉etc😂.. Great stuff

[@harrykey2448]

Your stills are great but I watch for your video footage and descriptions and comments. I appreciate your occasional warnings to the less experienced. Todays phones give really first class results without adding extra weight which is a major factor. Anyway...stay safe.

[@harrylinsdell8114]

It would be great to see your photos shown at an exhibition, definitely would pay to go and see them .total class

[@garrypaton2763]

Agree. Or publish a book.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Maybe one day Harry - need more hours in the day 😂😂

[@garrypaton2763]

@@ScotlandsMountains Take another Scotch egg and get on with it LOL

[@runningman4459]

Absolutely stunning Murray. What a wonderful place. Can I ask what Revolution Race trousers you had on in this video and are they waterproof?

[@VinK-gf1un]

I enjoyed the video (as always). I think the still photos do add to the overall impact - it's a bit like pausing on a walk to take in the view properly.

[@heighRick]

I can't say I miss the photos, but when you add them they're always pretty nice. I may be wrong, but I can't see how a camera sensor can properly compare with a 1.0-type or full frame CMOS sensor, it's just a different kettle of fish, but that might be me. I don't think you've been lazy Murray, lazy might be if you didn't put in any or all of your editing work to share quality videos with us. Another wonderful walk with you this week, thanks, helps a lot!

[@el5isontour337]

Your videos didn’t need over thinking Murray they’ve been superb quality . A wee hint of the Tom weir would put the icing on the cake for our over sea viewer & Our horrible neighbours , what I mean is a little history of the areas you go to but that’s research and time , just a thought you might like the change of added format or maybe I just miss Tom what a cracking man he was ..p,s The physical evert alone to capture the shots is not going unnoticed all be it we don’t see the amount of miles you do back and forth the cameras 📸 ..

[@markoutinthewild9481]

Good to see you taking pictures again, you've definitely got an eye for photography! i'd say the ZV-1 taken the best picture, the i phone was nothing in comparison to it, infact i think we just get so use to using our phone we think they take a quality picture but when you see the pictures side by side you can see the phone camera is pretty shit but as you said " ideal for facebook" ATB Mark.

[@the_middle_corner]

I really enjoy taking pictures when I'm on the hill or trail. There's absolutely no doubt, though. For me, filming is a hindrance to photography. It's such a shame that there are not 26 hours in a day to squeeze everything in. 😂 Another corker Murray. 👌

[@Martin-lp4yg]

That's why I ended up giving up the DSLR...too much of a slitter to stop n take out...mobile fone so much quicker and they are pretty good now and with the mobile you can catch wildlife better as you can just take it out yer pocket which is a lot quicker!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Absolutely agree and the technology in the phones is getting better and better- one day cameras will be no better than the phones probably:) Thanks for watching

[@Randolf_Randolf]

I like them.. :)

[@andrewbriggs1962]

I'm another in favour of including photos please Murray.

[@bobmcleod8789]

Have to be honest the iPhone images have my vote!

[@richardwilliams802]

Murray I thought I phone pics as good or better

[@themunros1]

Bottom line i think is, if you enjoy taking/editing photos then do it. For me, i find it breaks the rhythm of the video & doesn't add much to what the video shows me. Thats just me tho, a point & shoot merchant 😂 Another great vlog tho 👍

[@ExoticZ00Tproduction]

I'm 5 mins in and I think I've figured out what you've been neglecting! Is it that you neglect to tell us what your video is about in the first 5 mins?
