Wow, Nick,you got the shot of the day on the coast with the wildflowers. Beautiful! Great vlog. Thank you!

[@darksideemt]

All were great and I really liked the close up stuff on the boats. Lighting was beautiful.

[@jamesjohnston6765]

I think that in the end, looking back, you will love all of these images. I would have been in heaven shooting those boats but I would have been distracted by wanting to also photograph the noisy shorebirds. That is the problem with being both a landscape and a wildlife photographer. I loved the coastal sunset wildflower imagery.

[@TheGuitarsadist]

Great photos Nick, Love the close up of the old boats along the shoreline, but must say the earlier one with the small pool of water in the foreground is fantastic. Look forward to seeing the rest with you and what seem to becoming the 4 Amigos with Thomas, Gavin and Uncle Grumpy. Between yours and their soon to be post, plenty of KZbin watching to give me inspiration, laughs and enjoyment between work and hopefully the trips out in the nature myself. Best to you and thank your for sharing.

[@brightlightbabe]

The boat ship shots are epic, Thank You so much, I am not a photographer, I am a painter and I enjoy watching, is always good to study light. I am unable to budget the 2 grand it would have taken to go there. and health insurance ,snake bites simply cause swelling eh? lol ..diehards, excited for all of you. I am of part Scottish descent and enjoy seeing any landscapes of Scotland. I hope to go there one day to paint.

[@gplayer01]

Really enjoying your series in Scotland! Wonderful photos and some great tips. Cheers 🍻

[@MonkeyandScout]

LOVE the shot you close out the video with. Ooh yeah

[@snoozinglion8596]

Gorgeous shots Nick... thanks for sharing...

[@philk9227]

Great video Nick. Love the shot of the rock pool and flowers at sunset, came together perfectly!

[@PhillipMcCallum]

Excellent video ,enjoy guys

[@daveedds]

Nobody, Absolutely nobody chooses better music for their vids than Nick!

[@NickPage]

Wait are you saying you don’t like house music??? Haha

[@frauleindaniela]

It's so interesting to see two people at the same spot and they bring home completely different pictures!

[@vproven]

Great work my friend. Awesome. 👌👌👌

[@MichaelShainblum]

Awesome to see both Thomas and your take on that same tree. Nice work Nick!

[@mikkokovasiipi]

Nice video, and thanks for the tips! First time I commented you wideos, just because..... were you about to cry at 9:55 😊😏

[@andershagstrom437]

Both of my childhood heroes in the same video! Outstanding!

[@andychattaway5620]

Great video Nick 👍

[@michaelbottari6398]

Very good Images. My favorite images are the one with the little seapool and the two boats were the sun is coming up. The Video is Great.

[@RickNP90X]

I liked all the photos. My favorites are the boats with the sun behind them and the tree backlit.

[@loribenton5975]

Excellent collection Nick. Love all that weathered wood texture. Think I'm liking the puddle/flower/reflection shot and the sun rising between the boats shot best.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

Enjoy watching your videos as you don't do normal landscape photography... That makes no sense Adam! OK I enjoy watching as you dont always go for wide hero shot. I liked the detailed shot at sunrise.

[@MikeWilley]

Excellent video Nick, I love the detailed walk through of your thought process behind each photo. Thanks for sharing.

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

I'm green with envy. Beautiful shots, beautiful.

[@msingrey14]

I love your videos, Nick. They are my meditation. I have learned so much about composition and light from you and Thomas. Thank you for continuing to inspire, educate and entertain all of us. I look forward to seeing what you (and your friends - Thomas, Adam and Gavin) create next.

[@rickeycarter]

Really nice work.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Awesome shots!

[@erwinberner2118]

Great Video, I like the wild flowers photo the most. The colour of the flowers is matching the cloud colour.

[@debbydhill]

Lovely shots, I personally like the abstract shots. Very creative, they evoke emotion with me.

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Nick, now that is a fabulous little tree which is finely placed indeed!

[@jansmith65]

Awesome

[@DanielMillerlife]

I am really liking the boat shots.... All of them. Great job of finding and shooting. Thank you for sharing.

[@blivieriphoto]

Love that portrait aspect with the solitary tree. Beautiful! Can't wait to see the rest.

[@robertleathers5630]

So the wide shot of the tree with the photographer needs some love, I think that's a shot most landscape photographers can appreciate. Having Thomas as your model isn't bad either, kind of like a photo with Ansel Adams, masters of the craft. Of course you were the one who captured it so great eye! Looking forward to the four of you together

[@dianesnowflake]

Wild flowers and reflections image really caught the feel of the place.

[@gstandaert]

Great vlog, with a few nice images! Love the boat texture shot and the backlit tree.

[@LieslHuddleston]

Incredible! Love the shot with the wildflowers and pool of water, and the boats were really cool. I don't know how you were able to vlog and take great pictures at the same time with such amazing but fleeting light, so good! :)

[@guillermodelnoche]

The solo tree shot has such stunning light. It is my favorite.

[@michalstoch]

Wild flowers shot is beautiful Nick 👍✌

[@WhosPhotoTube]

Thomas brought me here, looking forward to watching more and catching up on your back catalogue Nick, great talk overs.

[@jefffiles9209]

Great couple of vlogs for the start of your Scotland fun fest! Wonderful images, really nice rock pool reflection & love the boats. Some sensible shooting before the joking begins, love it when you guys get together. Cheers.

[@valpayne2963]

Thank you Nick. Some gorgeous shots here, my favourites being the boat images.

[@alsokennisan]

That lone tree shot is so beautiful, Nick

[@rickvestuto]

Just beautiful Thanks for sharing Regards, Rick

[@theresarice7289]

The Palouse was beautiful this past week-end with very, very moody skies. Love the shots you got!

[@RockLakeMama]

Lovely shots. You have a wonderful eye, Nick. Looking forward to your next vlog.

[@DiviPhotos]

Great video

[@charlenenagel7962]

Beautiful shots Nick! Really enjoying these videos!

[@jennifersayers8041]

Hi, those are awesome shots. Amazing what you can capture when other ways of capturing locations don't work out. The wrecks are gorgeous in that light and has so much detail. Love your work and thank you for sharing.

[@geolockhart7644]

excellent again Nick, Glad your enjoying yourself in Scotland, keep them coming :)

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

A great video. Really love the abstract images.

[@stevebanks484]

Some great shots there Nick 👍👍 looking forward to the rest of the videos, from each of you - should be fun.

[@Chaumaerik]

Very nice shots Nick, i am particularly very fond of the wildflower shot, it feels very balanced and has a nice atmosphere in it. Great composition! I need to be getting myself to Scotland soon

[@philbraithwaite1316]

Some quality shots there and quality output as usual Nick. Look forward to the next episode when Uncle Grumpy and Gavin join the party.

[@stuartschaffner9744]

Nick, it’s fascinating to see you evolve as an artist and photographer. Finding an intimate landscape shot when the grand landscape scene wasn’t going to work was a sign of real maturity and confidence. I personally liked best the second boat shot, with the nail interacting asymmetrically with the strip of light. Keep practicing that kind of composition and I’ll bet you will evolve your own style for abstracts.

[@AstroHBF]

All were beautiful images! Those boats I just kept thinking how good they would be as a foreground for astro images!

[@brianmurphy7962]

Your images are stunning. I especially love your image of the lone tree on the hill. Reminds me of an Andrew Wyeth painting. Wyeth spent years paining at Kuerners Farm in Chadds Ford, Pa. Across the way there is a small hill with a lone evergreen on top. Wyeth was mesmerized by the hill and tree. You have a painters eye.

[@pamrosina]

Loved this, the pictures gave me a feeling of the Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@brucecolman3402]

Really enjoyed the video Nick, the manner in which you discuss the compositions terrific.

[@kristapple]

Hi Nick, really enjoying your Scotland vlogs so far, and you’ve taken some lovely images 😃 look forward to the next one.....

[@nmuguy]

Very nice images, and an enjoyable video!

[@TheSimonSongs]

Hey Nick, amazing shots you got there! I really enjoyed your choice of music in this one, liked the progressive touch in the last piece!

[@turnerrandolph4256]

I agree that last song was very enjoyable and added a great touch to the photos.

[@clickandprayphotography]

Love hearing your thought processes behind your shots ... and welcome to my country :)

[@Fagapperd14]

Very nice compositions, obviously your photography comes from your music background. I've seen all your gallery, and all are great. Good point about the skies, I do the same as well, if the sky is interesting, then I look for the compo.

[@InsightImagingPhoto]

Amazing vids Nick. After a brain injury 2 years ago I lost my passion for shooting. After watching this, I think I will be booking my trip to Scotland very soon. Gotta get my camera back in hand. Thanks for the motivation within your videos.

[@Noealz]

that van is legendary

[@craigwilson1604]

Really nice images, theres a place called paddys hole in middlesbourgh with boats like that, kinda inspired to visit now thanks nick 👍

[@srodigital]

Great video (nice relaxed pace) and wonderful Images Nick. The wait to see the four of you together is killing me, so looking forward to it. You just can't mention that you found a 'bog' in front of Gavin, he's on that self imposed 'toilet humour' ban...(LOL). Thanks again, really enjoyed the video, makes me want to be there.

[@mikewalker3800]

Great vid and images Nick 👍

[@andreassofus]

Mesa Arch is so beautiful. ;) Great video.

[@johndoe-nh9sh]

Nice work. I've never noticed that tree before at Grasspoint, I'm usually watching for cuckoos around there. The bluebells on Mull this year have been epic, so many across the island.

[@martinbuttrick]

Great photos Nick was there on Mull a lot of years ago. Also went on to Iona which I seem to remember had great white sands. Almost had the car destroyed by a red deer. Hope you enjoyed Scotland

[@007hofi1]

I was at that Island exacty 2 days before you there. It is funny to see the same places. Really enjoyed to watch the video.

[@SteveMillerPhotography]

Beautiful water pool shot Nick.

[@MovingTargetOne]

Oh nice, fan of Heaton too

[@ninacleven7889]

Nice one, Nick. Your videos never disappoint.

[@mehrdadhaghighi5140]

Been waiting to see a new video from you man :D Nice to see you in action again!

[@kaywayneflor89]

The sunstar between the ships 🔥

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Nice one my man! Love the sea Thrift shot

[@mickcarr5031]

Great vid Nick, was there myself last Thursday and shot those boats too, but man, the midges were brutal little buggers!!

[@pbsalfen]

You can carry a boat on a ship. But, you can't carry a ship on a boat. Or so my ship's Captain brother has been telling me for 40 years. I call them all boats, just for him. ;)

[@azrinaz8993]

Yesss.... Couldn't have come any sooner..

[@shura311]

Concentrated beauty!

[@Elysianplains]

Awesome video! Really great images too. Inspired to pop over to Mull again soon, and do a camp in my van.

[@marcthomas9831]

Great video, I’d love to get up to Scotland. Can you share what island and/or what that background music was. Nice and moody.

[@WalkingDevon]

Sorry I don't know the music but they're on the Isle of Mull

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Great stuff liking the way you shoot everything I all ready have but on Mull that’s easy lol hope you make it to the big waterfall lol

[@danielangelov91]

The snake is "Vipera berus" and if it bites you it won't be just a rash :D :D :D

[@richarddelasota1812]

“Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.”

[@Chris.Plunkett]

Hey guys head all the way north if you're still on Mull to Glengorm estate. Then check out Tobermory. Great pics love your stuff!

[@andrewcrisp9700]

I really enjoyed watching both parts of your Scotland trip, so far. Sadly, I lack the confidence of finding a composition, let alone a good composition.

[@NickPage]

The trick is to not put too much pressure on yourself. So often we dont give ourselves permission to fail, but its amazing how liberating it is to be just say.. you know what, I am just going to have fun, and its no big deal if I dont get a great shot, because i am here to enjoy the process. Often when you take the time to do that, you end up getting good shots you wouldn't have been brave enough to try otherwise.

[@andrewcrisp9700]

@@NickPage thanks Nick.

[@stevebennettphotography]

'got a single lone tree....', as opposed to groups of them? yeah we have a whole load of other words for that ;-) Nice to see you operate a little out of your comfort zone, successfully I hasten to add. As an aside, personally I'd have been happier without the adder's involvement :-o

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

@Nick Page my favorite is the side lite tree and boat/ship/dingy. I personally thought the nail was interesting. Looked like it was cool there, since you were wearing gloves, so a snake must have been unusual. Btw, snakes are venomous not poisonous.

[@HughWalker]

Nick we want more videos, definitely miss your content

[@JustSamOfficial]

Awesome video!

[@charass1]

Doesn't matter if it is -30 or +30 Celsius. Thomas still wearing his dawn jacket. :D

[@Jagrajagra]

The flower/pool shot and the tree on the hill were my favourites. You have some similar gear to myself (Shimoda and RRS ballhead. Both of which I love). Apart from the camera. Mine’s a Fujifilm. It brought a smile of recognition as you followed the light and I realised I do just that without knowing. Many’s the time I’ve come across photographers waiting and waiting for their compositions and I can see the light for the composition is wrong and I’ve gone off and pointed my camera where the light is falling instead, even though I want the same composition. I’ve always been glad i did. I suppose that makes me a half decent photog. Pity my vid skills suck 😊

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

landscape photography; the art of chasing the light.

[@NickPage]

so true

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

@@NickPage I wish I lived in your neighborhood; that way I could offer to "assist" you on your photography adventures. Always nice to do these excursions with a buddy. Plus I'm a really good cook.

[@DiarmuidODonovan]

Love the photos Nick especially the one in the Valley, Ill try my best to shoot something different in my next vlog. One quick question, I couldn't help but notice the kind of spikes on the tripod legs are they any good

[@NickPage]

they are called Rock Grabbers... made by really right stuff. I actually love them and use them most of the time. great in mud, rock, sand and snow

[@DiarmuidODonovan]

@@NickPage good to know, ill have a look at them online. Thanks

[@CultureAgent]

The wild flower is called "Thrift" in pre decimal currency days it used to adorn the threepenny piece.

[@CultureAgent]

Oh just saw the composition. Fantastic stuff.

[@richardtierney7724]

Fabulous.. you really are a master of the craft. I loved that rock pool and the flowers :-) That tree was just the kind of thing I would "see" and want to capture. Cannot wait to see the "gang" all together and produce some great vlogs. Wonderful :-))))

[@jss27560]

If you have to zoom in then it’s a boat, but if you have to zoom out then it’s a ship.

[@uskestrelmedia303]

Greater than 400ft in length: ship. Less than 400ft in length: boat.
