Landscape Photography - Mountain and Gorge Composition and Settings in Scotland

[@searam1]

I live in Atlanta. I am predominant;y of Scottish descent. The images of Glen Coe are of a deep beauty that touches me. Excellent images and thank you!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Sean for your comments. You clearly have a connection with Scotland, I'm glad the video shared more of this special land with you.

[@melissaojala855]

I like the landscape photo because it makes me feel the waterfall.

[@Andrew_marr]

I see what you're saying Melissa, great point. I like the landscape crop also! :)

[@benvanboom8907]

I loved it when people have the courage to show more of themselves, then only the outside picture. Nice to hear about the story of your grandfather. Great images....again.

[@amourdeparis]

I prefer the landscape format because it gives the viewer a perspective of how grand the gorge is. It provides the fullest view.

[@drohegda]

I Thank You so much excellent images. and to the people of Scotland,I have always considered your Country one of the most beautiful on Earth. I'm from the USA. excellent!😀

[@galesmith8554]

Of all the landscape Vblogers you are the one that never fails to teach me. I think each of the formats has merit with the portrait leading your eye to the green walls, the landscape is my least favorite as I don't see the composition going from side to side, and the square is my choice in that it balances the lovely water with the walls best and for me brings my eye into the image with the least effort. Excellent!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Gale, that's very kind of you to say that. So glad you find the videos helpful. I think you're right each crop showcases the scene in a different but interesting way. It a good point you make about then landscape crop. Thanks again! :)

[@nbamford03]

As someone just starting up with photography (at the tender age of 50) I find your videos really helpful, they give ideas on composition and the camera settings. Keep up the good work mate

[@Andrew_marr]

I think that's the perfect time the start. So glad you're finding the videos helpful. Enjoy your photography journey, cheer mate!

[@mujahidurrehman]

Special day indeed Andrew. Beautiful photos. It seems you enjoyed it thoroughly, I could hear the enthusiasm in your voice. The drone footage is awesome. Must have been amazing to view your ancestral home!!!

[@Andrew_marr]

It was a great day Mujahid, I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for your feedback on the drone footage mate, love flying that drone!

[@angelmartinez8480]

Enchanting...I also agree, landscape invites you in.

[@martinlatterich5946]

Stunning captures of this gorgeous location. Love all your captures, especially the square one. Thank you for sharing!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Martin, this was a stunning couple of locations. I’d love to return to Scotland one day and stay for longer. Appreciate your support mate!

[@ChapMan806]

Andrew, I have previously commented on your work and continue to be impressed. You have a wonderful manner in the way you explain what you are doing. With you it's more about the image and the scenery rather than you - that's a compliment. Your photos are inspirational. Please continue with your great work. Scotland, like a great portion of the UK is a photographers mecca.

[@Andrew_marr]

Hi Glenn, I'm not entirely sure what to say. Your comments are very kind and I'm so happy you think so highly of the content I create here. I find getting feedback like yours so motivating and it definitely helps drive me to continue making videos, so thank you for spending the time to share your thoughts. The landscape right across Scotland were so impressive, I hope to have the chance to get back there one day!

[@ChapMan806]

Certainly hope you can return to Scotland some day. Keep up the magnificent work.

[@garykenny1984]

Your an inspiration to all amateur photographers. I am amazed by the photos you take in each one. Keep up the excellent work.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Gary, so pleased you enjoyed the videos, thank you for your kind feedback!

[@darrenbooker9438]

Andrew I love the fact that you have been able to go back to where your grandfather once walked the same ground, fantastic. I loved your images of Finnich Glen in particular the very first one you showed at 4:13, love your work mate!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Darren, I really appreciate you sharing your feedback mate, thanks again! :)

[@mariolavrador350]

Hello Andrew. This is the kind of video that i like to see. Loved the explanations, and the fact that we're able to "join you" in that photography adventure. Keep them coming, please.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Mario, This is exactly what I'm aiming to create here so I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your feedback!

[@in2cleaning]

Great job Andrew. Thank you for all the effort you go to in producing these videos. Very inspiring and helpful. I love the square image. Reflects that of a window which gives more depth to scene.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Simon, I like your reasoning behind selecting the square crop, cheers! :)

[@vishweshwarkandalgaonkar3446]

Landscape. Nice composition. Thanks for sharing

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much for your feedback! :)

[@trevorhughes7399]

Another really enjoyable video Andrew and beautiful images. I prefer the landscape format as I love the rock formation. So glad you had a good time visiting our Scottish countryside, definitely some of the most stunning scenery in the world! All the best from the Scottish Highlands. :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Trevor, I think you live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, thank you for your feedback! :)

[@billonthehill9984]

Seems like a very peaceful location & the birthplace of your grandfather would make this a special visit for you. I think the square format was the winner, however the landscape drew me in nicely as well... I have indeed subscribed to your vlog as I really appreciate your slow, thoughtful approach in composing the image & clearly explaining the reason behind using various filters, camera settings, etc. Thank you, Bill Farr...

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Bill, it was a special visit and a great time. I also like the balance of the square crop. Thank you for subscribing mate, I appreciate the support! :)

[@JCarlos.unknown]

Exquisite places. Great images. Great journey.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Joao!

[@overhang88]

I like the landscape crop actually. The walls really give a sense of depth to the image. p.s. another great video. I really love your format how you explain everything while on location, really good to see a photographer in his element just talking about his thoughts and ideas for the scene in front of him.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Abdul, I'm pleased you're enjoying the videos mate. It motivates me to create more. Thanks agin!

[@apdeshpande]

Wonderful!! I like the Landscape version .. gives you a grand view and also the colors popped more.

[@Andrew_marr]

I actually did a little extra enhancement on the landscape version just to get the walls to pop a little more...nice pick up! :)

[@brucemccredie2689]

I love the portrait shot Andrew. I can imagine this 6-8 feet high on a wall leading you into the canyon....I also have a Scottish heritage and it is on my bucket list to travel Scotland and Ireland some day. Love you work.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Bruce, I think the portrait would look amazing blown up. I have been to Ireland but that's on the list a places I'd like to visit as well! :)

[@cathyann1601]

Your final shot of the mountain is absolutely stunning! Bracketing did the trick. Your effort to get that shot sure paid off!!!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks once again Cathryn, I liked the detail I was able to capture with the bracketed image!

[@mrdeeturk]

Great vlog Andrew, being a Scot who now lives in Turkey it's great to see images of my homelands, keep them coming my friend! Cheers Davy...

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks David, it's nice that this video was able to do that, thanks for sharing. I'm working on the next one already!

[@ronaldjupiter5883]

Great video, Andrew. Scotland is a beautiful place. I love the square image the best and how the polarizer makes the greens pop. I learn a great deal from watching your videos. Glad I found your channel and check every day for new content.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Ronald, the polariser would have to be the most important filter I use in my opinion. I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos I create. I try and upload weekly as consistently as possible but sometime just get too busy. If you click the 'bell' icon when you subscribe you'll be given a handy notification when I upload new videos. Thanks again for your support mate!

[@johnkelm1764]

Great Images! I like the landscape version. It really draws your eye into the centre of the frame.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts John!

[@TheGingerChrissy]

Excellent video Andrew, the square crop was fantastic. I love seeing the influence Tom's videos have on your vlogging techniques, loving seeing your trip to the UK!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Chris for your feedback, love the work Tom does here on YT!

[@peterbaylis8631]

Andrew beautiful footage from Scotland and the Glencoe image are great. Also moving to hear a bit of your family history lovely background for this session. Cheers Peter

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Peter, please you enjoyed this, it was a great day!

[@ChrisNewham]

A great video, Scotland and especially the western isles have a special place in my heart & view finder I have photographed there many times myself and everytime the light & weather gives something unique. Nice photos you made.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Chris, it was an amazing experience. I'd like to return one day!

[@ontheochils]

As a Scotsman, I found that an incredibly moving video Andrew, you did Glencoe proud.

[@andrespuiggros]

Great video, glad you visited your grandfather place. Nice pictures, I choose the square format! Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Andres, it was a special day, so glad I had the opportunity.

[@ronvanelst6701]

Landscape crop on the gorge worked the best for me. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@Peter12503]

Fantastic images altogether Andrew - so glad you got rewarded with dramatic skies

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Peter, appreciate your feedback mate!

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Lovely images. I like the cropped portrait the best as it really plays up the vertical walls. All three have their value. I've been to Glasgow and Glencoe. Glad to hear that you were able to come home to your roots as well. I LOVE that mountain panorama.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much James. It was a special day for both landscape and personal reasons, cheers!

[@DJewell]

I think the square format is best. Oh, I enjoyed hearing about grandfather and your interest in in him. My roots go deep in England and Scotland, early 1600's, even though I am an American. I always enjoy seeing where you take us on your video photo treks it's an excellent way for me to escape for a few minutes, thank you. Also, knowing your location setup and camera settings are informative. The one thing we don't lack here in Idaho are mountains and rivers, however, we can't compete with the greenery in your treks it's fantastic.

[@CBirky-mm3fn]

Hello Andrew. My fiancé and I are traveling to Scotland in October (flying into Glasgow). You've given us another fantastic site to photograph! Thank you for a lovely, informative tutorial.

[@Andrew_marr]

Fantastic, hope you have a wonderful trip. I believe this location is not known by everyone so if you were to go mid week you might have to place to yourself...good luck!

[@RedSnapper205]

Great shots, I reckon the portrait gorge shot is the winner, really emphasises the height and depth.

[@Andrew_marr]

That's a good point you make about the portrait crop, thanks for that!

[@goldsmith4314]

I like the portrait and the music on the background

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers for that! 👍

[@johncallery814]

I liked the landscape the best. It just gave me the feeling that I was there in the Glen.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for sharing John, I like the landscape crop for similar reasons!

[@nb7524]

Thank you for what you do; I appreciate it. I enjoy watching your channel and seeing your beautiful pictures ☺. Congrats again on 10K subscribers, good for you! Also, I equally loved all 3, they each have a different feel that I like.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much for your kind comments, I appreciate your support. I think you're right all three crops are different but interesting to look at! :)

[@nb7524]

Andrew Marr, yes all 3 are interesting and beautiful ☺. Also, the time you take to explain your compositions is helpful. Thank you again!

[@peterbaylis8631]

And my preference is for the landscape orientation for the Gorge and the mountains. Keep up the good work and keep on describing your setup for each shot. Peter

[@Andrew_marr]

I think the square was one of my favourites, thanks Peter!

[@tomclemons344]

I really enjoy your videos, and it's nice that you could visit your grandfather's homeland. My family spent 21 days touring the UK in mid 80's (working for US Army). 5 of those days were spent in Scotland. Really enjoyed Edinburgh.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Tom, My visit to Scotland if only brief was special. Thanks also for sharing your story of Scotland. It’s a country I’d definitely want to return to one day!

[@navwelchh]

I liked the landscape shot. it gives a more better perspective of the massiveness of the rocks. and thanks for the videos!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Naveen, I liked the landscape crop for similar reasons!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Brilliant video Andrew. Enjoyed every second. The story about your grandfather was good to hear too. Looked like an emotional moment for you. It's always a reflective moment when you are retracing the steps of your ancestors. You captured some lovely images too. Think my favourites were the panorama of Glen Coe and the landscape version of the gorge. Great work all round.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Adam, when I filmed this I was still on a high from our own adventure the previous day. Glad you enjoyed the personal connection, it was a special day and I's glad I had the opportunity to experience it, cheers!

[@garyclarricoates8972]

Great vlog as always. Scotland is certainly a landscape photographer dream, especially around Glencoe. I'm pleased that you have experienced it being a long way from home. Regarding the crop, to be honest, I think all of them work. Keep up the stunning work and look forward to the next one.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Gary, Scotland was amazing and I was so glad I had the opportunity to shoot there. You can choose all the crops...there are no rules! :)

[@mikecalvert8065]

Wonderful stuff.... Landscape shot was my winner

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Mike, appreciate your comment mate!

[@vivienrk]

Love your photos Andrew, love watching your videos! I was in Glencoe 2 years ago whilst visiting my daughter in Edinburgh and I agree, the countryside is so unque. Mountains just rise up out of the plains and their peaks are just about in the clouds. How I would have loved to drive myself and explore but I was on a coach tour to Loch Ness.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you so much Vivien, that's very kind of you! The landscapes in Scotland were so impressive. I wish I had more time to explore. I'll just have to organise another trip back there someday! :)

[@joacimberglund4504]

Hi, what a great and interesting video. I like the portrait version, so you can see the walls and the depths of the cave.

[@tomt274]

Beautiful images, Andrew. I like the landscape version from Finnich Glen because it draws viewer in with wider view. Square crop and portrait versions are nice, too, but landscape really gives one a feeling of standing there. Then I really like the panorama, what a breathtaking view. Great work!

[@brentons857]

Andrew, your content is seriously the best out there right now. Keep going and you'll reach 100,000 subs before you know it. Very inspiring as always! Can't wait to get outside soon and get some shots for myself!

[@johnbentley1056]

Such a magical and beautiful location. Awesome images as usual. I liked them all, however, I do have a soft spot for square images and their simplicity. I think that goes back to the days when I shot medium format film. Thank you for sharing.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you John, it just reflects the magic that Scotland had to offer. I can see why you lean towards the 1x1 crop, cheers mate!

[@McKinnellPhotography]

Hi Andrew, I like the landscape image the best. The light on the ferns at the top of the frame adds even more to a great image. Hope you have enjoyed your time in the UK and that you have been made welcome by all you have met.

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

What a treat Andrew - a fabulous video on so many levels. The gorge shots were stunning. Thank you for the lens tip at the gorge since I hope to capture similar scenes this Fall here in New York (in the Adirondack Mountains). I preferred the landscape shot. The mountain pictures, along with the drone footage, were amazing! While stunning, I’m sure they don’t fully capture the beauty of such a special place. Cheers to you for returning and visiting some family history as well. Exceptional.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Miguel, you're right the locations themselves were spectacular. It's also a challenge to try and capture how beautiful a place is through video. No matter how I try, nothing is like being there. Thanks for your feedback mate!

[@nmuguy]

I liked the landscape best, then the square. Very nice images in a beautiful country!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Phil, there seems to be a spread of support across the crops. A wonderful country with potential images everywhere!

[@keithmitchell6548]

Glad you enjoyed Scotland, thanks for the video!

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Keith, that's for commenting mate!

[@overlandphotography]

Tks again Andrew. Beautiful work reflected in your video. Great stuff mate.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Jim, I appreciate your support mate!

[@brianmcmillan6628]

Absolutely stunning video and photographs, well done.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much for sharing your feedback Brian!

[@wallacecheah]

I like the landscape format,it looks more grant to me,thank you for sharing

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Wallace!

[@cab325i]

Hi Andrew. I love the personal family connection with Scotland you shared in this one. Great story. I really can't decide b/t the 3 formats from the gorge. The portrait really shows the height of the walls whereas the other two emphasize more of the beautiful green on the walls. I think I prefer 1:1 over the landscape, but you can't go wrong with any of the three. All would depend on the dimensions of the space in which you wanted to hang your print! I love this UK trip and am quite jealous of your adventures. Someday...

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks mate, so glad you enjoy this one. Your right, all three crops showcase the scene is different ways. I like that about some images. The space in which you hang the print would impact which one you go with greatly. I'm very lucky to have had the opportunity to goto the UK, hopefully I'll get the chance to travel more! :)

[@fineelsewhere5788]

Ahh, Scotland, one of the best places i have travelled to. So many places to shoot. Can't wait to get back over there again next year. Oh nice images mate.

[@Andrew_marr]

You are absolutely right, I wish I couldn't have spent more time there. I appreciate your feedback.

[@fineelsewhere5788]

did you make it to the fairy pools on skye? Absolutely amazing.

[@luisfelipegope]

Great video, and that first shot, the more intimate one... ohh amazing

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you very much! :)

[@davidjenbrown]

Another good one Andrew. I do love watching your videos as I think they are some of the best on YT. I also miss my home in Scotland when I watch this as it's just so beautiful, but the weather............... well its not Perth that's for sure. Thanks for posting.

[@plutoalf157]

I like the landscape version too. Thanks very interesting!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that!

[@AustinNewman]

Beautiful shots, Scotland looks like it has a ton of awesome locations to shoot!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Austin, Scotland is amazing, if you ever get the chance to visit I'd highly recommend it! :)

[@AustinNewman]

Andrew Marr it looks amazing. I look forward to seeing it for myself!

[@Nichollstec]

Fantastic shots Andrew. Fantastic place. Great video.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Tim, great to hear to enjoy that. You're right, it is a wonderful location!

[@FelixTheG]

Fantastic video Andrew! Visited scottland last year too and your video brings back a lot of good memories. I like the landscape version the most, because the river takes less space in the image and that makes it (the river) more special and it stands out against the green walls :) In comparison to the square format, where its kinda balanced. The portrait is also exciting to watch but a bit to thinn for my taste and i would love to see more of the surrounding green rocks at the sides of the river. Thanks for the beautiful video, looking foreward to your next one!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much, that's so nice to hear. Scotland is an amazing country, I hope to return one day! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@georgegraham1249]

Fantastic Andrew and such a fitting epitaph to your grandfather. I wasn't aware you were coming to Scotland which is s pity cos I would have loved to have met you. I will be going up to Glen Coe when the snow hits, thanks for the inspiration mate.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks George, it was a special visit and I'm so glad I had the chance. If I get over there again, I might organise a meet up, cheers! :)

[@dardycuz24]

Amazing photos, the first landscape image is pretty special.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Trent, I like the mood this crop gives the image!

[@andistraumann]

Love the Portrait shot because I love how its leeding your eyes through the shot. It leeds you to some detail like the farn which i didnt feel the same on the others! Great picture!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Andi, it's interesting to see the wide range of feedback about the different crops. Thank you for sharing yours!

[@hakanlindstrom4544]

I really liked the square crop best. Beautiful composition!

[@katkinz789]

Hi. Loved this video. Thanks for sharing. I adore photography and Scotland is my favourite place in the world to visit. Your photos are amazing.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much. I loved exploring and shooting in Scotland. It's a very different landscape to the one I'm used to back in Australia. Thanks for your kind words and support.

[@grahamhunneman3503]

hey Andrew 👏🏻 I have watched this vlog a few times because I like it so much, I recently visited Glencoe with my wife to celebrate my 60th birthday and it was amazing, so much so that we are returning again this year. I can tell it was a very special and emotive experience for you and it certainly comes across in your presentation. well done

[@irenedp4947]

I really liked the square a little bit better, but all three are really nice, hard to discern. And I loved the panorama of the Mountainside. Lovely subtlety of color in both :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Irene, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I think the square crop has a nice balance about it!

[@davidthomas670]

Hi Andrew, your photography is superb and I personally find it inspirational, I didn't take up Landscape Photography until i came home to Queensland after 10 years In the U.k , and now I could kick myself, but i will be going back in the next couple of years for a holiday , I always look forward to your Video's as i said they are very inspirational keep them coming . :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks David that's very kind of you to say. Great to hear the videos are inspiring you. The great this is you already know the UK quite well now and after you hone your landscape photography skills here in Australia, you'll be able to nail it when you return to the UK for a holiday! :)

[@JazzBrass421]

I there are very few images I like in portrait, but for some reason I love it for the gorge. The extreme ratio shows off why gorges are gorgeous! It demands attention in that form. Also, I like to imagine the possibilities for display; it will stand out among other images in this portrait orientation.

[@Andrew_marr]

I appreciate your comment, I think you make some good points, thank you! :)

[@bigoz1977]

WOW some cracking shots there mate. cant really go wrong with Glen Coe. or Scotland in General. Really is one of the beautiful countries in the world. Glad you were enjoying scotland while your/were here. and the i think the landscape image was best, as appose to portrait or square..

[@Andrew_marr]

Nope, i can't go wrong here, it so gorgeous with views everywhere. Thanks for your comment!

[@davidroby8493]

A lovely (and emotional) video, Andrew. I'm planning to visit Glencoe in the autumn, then on to the Isle of Skye; this video is further inspiration for me. Your shots go to show that you don't have to photograph at sunrise and sunset; that landscape is spectacular - those mountains punch way above their weight. With regards to your Finnich Glen shots, they're all beautiful but I particularly like the narrow portrait.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks David, I appreciate your feedback. I hope you have a wonderful trip, Your right, the landscape is so stunning you don't need a sunset or sunrise which is good because I wasn't going to get one anyway. :) Thanks for your comment mate!

[@scotty4418]

Andrew, finding your channel following your collaboration with Adam from First Man Photography has been great. Having now caught up on all your videos, it was quite fitting the last one to catch was from your recent visit to my country. Staying about 30 minutes from Glasgow on the west coast of Scotland, you have made me realise just how many opportunities await to get out there to learn and more importantly enjoy the experience. I have coastline, forests, open country side and urban areas, all of which you have featured in your vlogs and have given me plenty to consider for getting out there. Having a demanding job, it can be too easy to let these opportunities slip by, but you and a few other channels that I have been following have made me realise the importance of getting out there, giving it a go and develop myself in something completely different. Thank you for sharing the stunning images, sharing the practical tips and sharing the enjoyment you get out of your trips. Looking forward to more or your vlogs in the future and who knows maybe see you back in Scotland one day

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much for your comments and also your commitment to sit down and watch all the old videos. I have a special connection with Scotland and my visit there, although it was brief, was special and I really enjoyed the experience. I haven't had the opportunity to share this on through the videos yet, I also have a full time job outside of the vlogs and landscape photography I do here on KZbin. Photography is a wonderful break and change of pace from my other work. I believe it is very important to have something completely different as it helps in so many ways. So I can't encourage you enough to pursue this interest and see where it takes you...particularly if you live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world! :)

[@markharris5771]

Beautiful video of a stunning country. I love Glasgow as a city, it has a fantastic vibe and great architecture but once you get to Loch Lomond you start entering a completely different world. I always say I don't like the Hasselblad 6x6 image and I'd rather have a Mamiya RZ67 than a 503 but I actually preferred your square image. I'm really pleased that you saw Scotland and how special a place it is even without your family connection and I'm also glad you saw how beautiful and powerful it can be in the rain. Rain and is very much part of, and shaped the country geographically as well as partially shaping the amazing people I've always met up there. We go at least once a year but it's easier to get there from Lancashire than Australia. I have no idea what the 3 dislikes expect from a video, but this is one of the best videos from one of the best photography video makers on KZbin. Brilliant images, and I enjoyed every second of it, very well done indeed. (Psst You do know they don't understand cricket in Scotland...don't you?)

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Mark, I glad you enjoyed this as I know it's not far from you. even though I didn't spend much time in Glasgow, what I did see was wonderful, I loved the buildings and architecture. I liked our the square crop had a nice balance about it. Scotland was amazing. What you say about weather shaping the country is interesting, as I thing the same goes for some place back in Australia, at the other end of the spectrum. I seldom fail to get a thumbs down on my videos, I suppose everyone entitle to their opinion but I'd love to get feedback what why they did so. You comments are always full of positive feedback and support and of that I aim very grateful mate. Haha, and you're right the the Scotts didn't understand a word I said! :)

[@i3aluchi]

Hello Andrew. Thank you for the interesting video. As for the photo, I prefer the portrait image and find it more interesting.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Khalid, I appreciate you sharing your point of view!

[@philiphorton327]

Nicely done video Andrew! I prefer the square format photo as it is well balanced and the color is terrific.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Philip, appreciate your feedback mate!

[@victorhughes15]

wow landscape was incredible!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks so much Victor!

[@ALinNZ2]

Likewise my grandfather emigrated from Loch Fyne area to NZ about the same time as yours. Had my first visit to Glencoe last Sept. And was blown away by its grandeur. Liked your landscape shots, captured the grandeur the best IMO.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks very much Alistar for your kind comments and sharing your story, I can't believe your stories are so similar. I was so impressed with the landscape Scotland had to offer!

[@jpgarner515]

Great video , i appreciate you sharing the camera settings,it helps improve my photography skills. I thought the portrait setting conveyed the canyons true physical aspects, that being, mostly vertical. The in-climate weather that day created a truly dramatic shot.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that, while the weather can be annoying, you're right it can produce some amazing, moody results so I don't mind a little rain! :)

[@PaulWilkinson]

Excellent video Andrew, especially as you inject emotion into it. You can see that being here in Scotland meant something to you. I'm presuming your on holiday here and I hope you've enjoyed it. If you have time or you return in the future I can highly recommend the lowland half of Scotland. You'll find whether it's over towards Dumfries and Galloway or across the Scottish Borders you are totally spoiled for choice, there's castles, lochs, hills, wide rivers and forest. I would also highly recommend the Clyde Valley area which you drove through at the start of your video. Lanark has some of lowland Scotland's best waterfalls and some lovely ruins. Anyway, enjoy the holiday and keep up the excellent vids 👍

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate you letting me know your feedback mate, it certainly was a special day. I wish I had more time to explore but I had to keep moving. I was over in the UK on a cricket tour but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do some landscape photography while I was over there. Thanks for those suggestions, it looks like I might have to organise a return visit.

[@PaulWilkinson]

I'd be happy to point you in the direction of places or show you around if you do return. Hope you had a great trip Andrew.

Well an adventure in Scotland, mate sure enjoyed this , the wife and myself can only dream of what the would look like she has direct ancestral roots in Scotland also , thank you we would probably never get to go there, cheers

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Rick, it has been on my list for a while, so glad I took the opportunity. Great to hear you guys enjoyed this one, cheers!

Great shots Andrew, I was also at Glencoe last month and it truly is a breathtaking place well worth the long trip and effort. Hope I get to do some hiking next time, you really can't see Scotland proper until you leave the roads and venture out into the country. Keep up the good work I look forward to your next adventure .

[@Andrew_marr]

Cheers Drew, I wish I had more time to explore but i had to keep move on. Definitely a place I'd like to return to, thank mate!

Great video once again. Landscape version is my fav!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Graeme!

[@gw2k66]

Andrew, thank you for sharing your photos. They came out awesome.

[@Andrew_marr]

Glad you like them. I appreciate your support.

[@philippeguichard5670]

What a great way to return to your roots. The scenery is indeed spectacular and you managed to capture fantastic photos and great video footage. I like the landscape photo the best but not by that much to the square... Cheers!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks Philippe, Scotland was amazing, I hope to go back there one day!

I really like the portrait crop. It looks more natural, more dramatic

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@MrCaliber30]

Landscape. Great video.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that!

[@jeffgoulet1493]

really like the square crop....evens everything out...Kudos !

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Jeff, I agree! :)

Just 'happened upon' your video by accident and I am glad I did! Living near Glasgow I am ashamed to admit that I had never heard of Finnich Glen, but will now be paying it a visit. Glad you enjoyed visiting Glencoe. I was there last week and agree it is stunningly beautiful (even in the typical Scottish summer of pouring rain)! Have subscribed to your channel to watch more of your videos. PS I liked the portrait version of your image :)

[@Andrew_marr]

Welcome Lorna to my channel and thanks for subscribing, I'm so glad you stumbled across it. I was blown away by Glencoe to say the least, stunning vistas everywhere I looked. I wish I could have stayed a little longer. I was very lucky with the weather, just a little rain on the second day (as you'll see in the next video). Hope you enjoy the other videos! :)

[@Cappy31]

Great video. I liked the square crop most.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you, I think the square crop gave a nice balance to the image!

[@Badger220455]

As a Scottish photographer, I loved this video! Thanks

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks, I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one!

[@benng6029]

Another awesome vid! The landscape image is my preference.

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks for that Ben, I think that's one of my favourites as well!

Hi Andrew, I'm a keen follower of your channel and have really enjoyed your recent uploads including the one with Adam from first man photography. I hope you are enjoying your trip to the UK and I look forward to seeing some more of your adventures. For the shot in the gorge, for me, I would suggest the square crop. My reason being, I think the image is about the contrast between the green of the gorge sides and the red of the water and without having obvious foreground/middle/background the square crop balances that equally. It was good to see a different view of the buachaille from the many clichéd shots. It's an area I still have to visit and yet it's only 6 hrs away from me. looking forward to your next vlog. Derek

[@Andrew_marr]

Thank you Derek, the UK trip has been a blast, so many beautiful locations. I like your reasoning behind the square crop, interesting. Hope you get up to the Buachaille, so you can experience it for yourself.

[@JamesRBurnsVLOG]

Nice shots Andrew and glad you're enjoying the UK

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks James, having a blast, it's such a beautiful country!

[@David_Keith]

Great video. Glencoe is one of my favourite locations and is about 100 miles north from where I live. Enjoy your trip!

[@Andrew_marr]

Thanks David, You are so luck to have such an amazing location so close to home. I bet you can;t stay away from the place!
