Photographing Assynt, It just got epic - part 2

[@antonoat]

What baffles me Gary, you have more photographic skill, expertise and knowledge than a large handful of other popular KZbin photographers put together, yet your subs don't reflect this. They get worshipped for not understanding their gear and wasting opportunities, you always deliver no matter how harsh the conditions yet, you don't seem to get the credit you deserve. I do wonder sometimes if it's an age thing, hey ho, their loss. Incredible work as always and amazing images, thanks for sharing. PS I know it's not a competition but you deserve far more recognition.

[@GaryGough]

Very kind of you to say. None taken ref the age thing btw :) It's all about click-bait titles. A lot of so-called photographers simply create click-bait videos just so they do well on KZbin. This is why I warn people about listening to incorrect regurgitated nonsense. It's just one of those things. As long as you are here listening to my babbling on a weekly basis then that's all that matters to me 👍

[@antonoat]

@@GaryGough As someone who's coming up to their 57th birthday I've struggled getting work as I relocated a couple of years ago and I see age prejudice pretty much everywhere in my quest for work (non photographic). What really gets me on KZbin is some people getting massive recognition for their photographic exploits yet they often demonstrate a distinct lack of knowledge re their understanding of the fundamentals of photography yet others see them as experts and hang on their every word, maybe now I'm showing my age, lol.

[@GaryGough]

We're now officially now old friends 😊😊 I for one are happy with that 👍

[@captaindebug]

I suspect that it's all about the KZbin algorithm: play the KZbin game and your video gets presented to more people and, hopefully, you get more subscribers. I suspect that Gary doesn't really play that game, and just makes the best videos he can. Besides, I also suspect that it's all about quality of subscribers, not the quantity.

[@GaryGough]

[@nigelbramley4188]

A colossus of photographic skill and video production. Absolute love of his subject and surroundings is so inspiring it brings a huge glow to the even more forthcoming viral madness. Bless you Gary for sharing your talents...

[@CarloDidier]

Love those images with Quinag in the background (around 6:30)! Especially the long exposure. Good choice for the B&W at the Old Man of Stoer.

[@joetagg1961]

Fantastic shots Gary. Keep ‘em coming !!

[@GaryGough]

Many thanks

[@douglasclayden4941]

Just the usual top quality entertainment from the beginning Oh and some amazing photos. Thanks for sharing.

[@cathyfraser6524]

So serene! I love the landscape of this video. Such an epic trip for you! Stunning images. 🙌🏻❤️

[@myatesphotography]

Cracking video again Gary , Assynt is definitely on my hit list now . Thanks .

[@GaryGough]

The adventure gets better

[@myatesphotography]

@@GaryGough I'm very much looking forward to it .

[@Carol-us9yr]

Another inspirational video, wow I am completely blown away with the scenery. Thanks for doing another fantastic video.

[@robbieallcock]

Really enjoyed watching both vids Gary - spectacular!! 👍

[@GaryGough]

Thanks 👍

[@alnwill]

Super vlog and great shots -as per usual! Thanks.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Alan

[@wezjonesphotography3197]

Always an inspiration Gary. Another great vlog

[@alasdairmackenzie905]

Great video shots and stills Gary. One of your best. The sound at 9:45 is probably a grey seal (you've captured a few of them in the water a minute or so later). They are hauled out onto the shoreline for pupping just now. When there is a large colony of them "singing" in chorus it is one of the eeriest sounds you'll ever hear.

[@GaryGough]

Yeah I thought it was. It's still beautiful, nature at it's finest :)

[@adstoop7885]

Gary, what great photos but also the video. It is enjoyment and a nice start to Monday, a new week. This in combination with a cup of coffee can not break the week. I thank you for the great promotion of Scotland and that is what a Dutchman writes with a boring "flatland".

[@highlands.photography]

To use one of your own words FANTASTIC!

[@GaryGough]

Thank you! 😃

[@davidbreeze448]

A superb set of images and a video to match.

Hi Gary Another great video. Glad the weather was a lot better than the first time. Great images and drone footage. I thought of a caption for the last seal on the rocks for an image. Help mum I'm stuck on the rock. It looks like you had a good time.

[@markpursglovephotography]

Fantastic video Gary, took me back to July when we had a week up there. Superb photos too. :)

[@Leicashootr]

Gary, this is really beautiful💖 you just have inspired me to do some more long time exposures. Thanks a lot ( respect)

Wonderful vlog, Gary 😍

Many thanks

[@trevorfentiman5283]

Love the enthusium you have which keeps me going out as well, another great vid as it lets us see what can be achieved and what we strive to do as well with a bit of your help.

[@jhonnybakkenphotography]

Wonderful video, fantastic landscape, and amazing images. So love Your fine art images, B&W is just magic as long-exposure and with Your enthusiasm it's not possible not to get hooked on this artform. So much to learn, but hopefully little by little I get better.

[@GaryGough]

Many thanks!

[@simonsimpson4695]

Very enjoyable, Gary. I'm new to your channel and really like the content. Having seen another channel visit Mull, Scotland is definitely on my list for the most stunning locations. I'm glad you covered Assynt because I was totally ignorant of its beauty. Scotland should definitely be considered the UK's number one landscape destination.

[@lightwalker9879]

Always love watching all the way from Australia.

[@GaryGough]

Thank you Alastair

[@jameswelsh453]

Absolutely breathtaking Gary thank you so much for a great production, AoToGo is right!

Cheers Simon. The adventure get's better btw

[@tonyutting6508]

Great video Gary. I have spent quite a bit of time up there and the scenery is breathtaking in so many places. Lovely shots. I too am the wrong side of 50, but i don't see age as an issue, unless you are looking for work. which thankfully, i am not.

Loved this Gary as never seen anything (images or video) from this location before so it was great to take it in for the first time. Epic images indeed

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Scotty. The adventure gets better btw :)

[@paulcleasby9448]

Beautiful

[@GaryGough]

Thank you

[@ferguscooper]

Super vlog Gary. Tremendous scenery, Heading across the Irish sea to Assynt in the next few days. Is is best to walk from the Stoer Lighthouse along the cliffs or better to travel to each individually by road (and walk the rest of the way to the Old man from the road north of Culkein)? Epic photos and scenery. Reagrds, Fergus.

[@stevebrooks6144]

Another great video of where we call home, I think you're the first person I've ever seen to take a picture of Ardvreck castle and make it look like the conning tower on a nuclear submarine, brilliant

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Steve :)

[@johnhaynes7790]

As you said EPIC 👍👍

[@mikewarrender9646]

Great video Gary.

[@GaryGough]

Thanks 👍

[@dcallan812]

epic landscape. Some stunning photos, and a splash of drone footage fantastic. 👍👍 But perhaps I need to change the splash that might be foreshadowing. 🤣

[@GaryGough]

You should! 😁😁😁

[@Biscuit761YT]

A super selection of images Gary and loving the drone footage 👌

[@GaryGough]

Many thanks

[@mainline464]

Wow fantstic images, if i could be one tenth as good as you i'd be happy

[@DalesTramper58]

Now you see why I always call it God's Country Gary :) Another great vlog mate top notch.

[@brianhenno4744]

Stunning 👍👍👍

[@GaryGough]

Thanks again!

[@paulhudson5464]

Not having back to Scotland for a couple of years now it's good to see your tour of the area, brings back good memories from many familiar places. Keep doing the good work. The only negative I will make is that on some of the drone footage the quality is not up to your normal standards - maybe too low rez or too compressed, more of a water colour look. Apart from that a big thumbs up.

[@markjutsum6187]

Great vid Gary, love the drone footage. Don’t know where you find the time. Sea stacks fab. May be better than the Old Mann but then I’m bias. The old Mann is brutal. MJ

[@andy1753]

fantastic

[@GaryGough]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jonhjfofs5959]

Hi Gary ! Have you ever used any free /cheap photo editors, if so, which one do you recommend ? Extremely glad I found your YT channel Thank you !

[@paulus0109]

The good thing you do, is to show a lot of the country. Like that very much! The bad thing you do ......... there isn’t any!

[@GaryGough]

Thank you for saying

[@paulburwood8231]

I seriously need to get up to Scotland for a photographic adventure, so can't wait for this sh1te situation to go away. BTW, loved the image at 6.48.

[@tonyhewitt9440]

Another fantastic video Gary. What model of tripod do you use for your main photography? I know it’s an ifootage one but what model is it. Cheers again.

Do you know the worst thing about this video......it came to an end!....and I just wanted it to carry on.....I was immersed....... I really do think this is your best piece of filming yet and that is saying something as all your others are very, very good.

[@GaryGough]

Very kind of you to say Brian, thank you

[@sandyknight3910]

think this might be one of my favourite videos so far! right on the off with me thinking "I know that place, thats the top of..." to all my ooohs and ahhhs at the epic drone footage, and shots. Fantastic job done on this one Gary! forgive me for asking...is this your 3rd drone now?!! drive it carefully!!!

[@GaryGough]

Glad you enjoyed it! 3rd indeed Sandy 😁😁

[@theweekendphotographer]

Love the vids and shots. Do you get permission of some kind for flying the drone over/around the lighthouses? I don’t know if things are different than where you are from but I’d get arrested flying my drone anywhere around a lighthouse anywhere within 1000 miles of my house without a special governmental permit.

Are you still in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿?

[@GaryGough]

Hi Richie, yes I am m8. I'm here for another week. Isle of Skye and Glencoe Workshops.

[@RM831BC4E4]

@@GaryGough would be amazing just to say hello to you and shake your hand. Your videos have inspired me to get out more with my camera. As I am a beginner. I use it as a method to get me out the house when I feel up to it as have couple issues with health. But like to think I can improve. And the only way in doing so is by getting out there.
