My favourite part of the world....lovely!

Stuart, you are far too hard on yourself. Your images are always of an excellent quality. The ones you consider to be not quite right are very good indeed. All the images are capturing the light. The drone shots are really good. Please keep posting like this. I fully understand your frustration with the conditions but as always you manage to make the most of it and succeed when most of us would give up. The last focus stack image is superb. Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog.

I'd be more than happy with those great images...what a place

No B roll of you driving, cooking, walking away from camera ... no dogs, no jokes ... Brilliant, just how a photography video should be. Other KZfaqrs take note 🙂

Reckon they would all print up on a good matt paper and look superb. And I have to say, video drone work is top notch too 🤗🤗🤗

Hi Stuart, to say you though that trip was a little "off", I'd haven been massively elated to have taken any one of those shots. I was actually thinking how effortless you make these videos look, despite what really must be a lot off effort. So thanks for a grand day out, and what a location .. See you on the pubcast.

I can understand your frustration about the conditions and your luck which didn't quite help you pull the week off as you would have ideally liked. But the images you shared especially from the beach across to the snowy hills left me open mouthed at how simply beautiful the scenes you captured were. Incredible light...even though on limited occasions for you. Many thanks for sharing, Stuart.

Great stuff Stuart. Been looking forward to this one and didn't disappoint. Some stunning images and the poor conditions provide a great excuse to get back up there again

Fantastic video Stuart, what a stunning location & some lovely results mate.

Some of the best images I've seen for ages. Really like them. Stop beating yourself up mate. Perfectionists struggle! Cheers Tom St Bees

A great video, thanks Stuart. I recall a recent holiday where the weather didn't match my hopes or expectations, and I allowed it to impact my feelings about the trip and the photography during it. Since then, I approach each trip with more of an open mind, with the aim of adapting my plans and making the most of what I'm given. I appreciate that this is your livelihood, so such a trip is more of an investment for you, but this approach is working for me. Sorry that you were disappointed and had to cut things short. However, I really like all of the shots you shared here, and you've got me looking at drones for the first time, as those shots were incredible!😀

Half decent you said!!! They were truly awesome images Stuart.Loved this vlog and look forward to seeing more of those drone shots…Just spectacular sir! 💙

Love the drone stills Stu, amazing colours, must get up there.

Enjoyed the video. I'm not half the photographer you are but I find over the years that the bar personally is always getting higher, so it's seems harder to be satisfied with a shot because it will always be compared to previous successes. If that makes sense? That's not to say that I don't still enjoy trying and have the motivation to do go out. Keep up the great work! I would still be happy with what you came away with, particularly like the drone 'vein' shot.

Thanks for posting. Might not have been the 'best' weather but didn't stop you getting some great images 👏👏

Wonderful vlog, as always, it's a real mystery to me how your channel doesn't have more subs, it's shear quality in every respects. Thank you so much for the great content.

Really enjoyed that Stuart. You came away with some fantastic images, both land images and ones from the drone. Great stuff. I've never been to Harris, but I need to make it happen. Looks like an absolutely stunning place in all weather.

Great stuff Stuart, and honest too regarding not feeling it. That's a regular occurrence for all photographers and it's nice to see that you're willing to admit it's not always smooth sailing!

Thank you for sharing - very much enjoyed and the drone photography was amazing as well. In actual fact I wish more photographers did more drone photography because my hubby and I really enjoy seeing the world from above looking down…shows just how amazing our world we live in is. Again thank you and keep up the great work…sincerely Karen

I know what it’s like to have frustrating trips Stuart, but you definitely came away with a few great images from this one despite the challenges! Really like the drone images, the upgrade was certainly worthwhile! 🙂👍 S

Some great images their Stuart.

I appreciate that you didn't get as much from your trip as you would have wanted, but I have to say those images were stunning. Although some were simple in terms of composition by your standards, they were still very impactive and told a story of the location. As for drone photography, I personally see this as an extension of the 'normal' manner is which photography is done, because I offers the viewer with a perspective which cannot be achieved by 'normal' methods. Personally I really hope to see more of this.

Think you undersold your images Paul - some lovely shots. I agree re: drone photography requiring a set of skills to create great images. PS my wife and I enjoyed chatting to you in your gallery on Friday.

Great job! Wonderful landscape!

Great video Stuart, don’t be to hard on yourself, totally agree with you on drone photography, it’s an under appreciated discipline.

You are doing great Stuart! Amazing video and images 🎉

Lovely video Stuart👌. Must try to get up to Scotland soon as it’s been years🤦‍♂👍

I've seen some really fantastic drone photos. One in particular of Shiprock in New Mexico.

Cracking video Stuart 👍👍stunning drone pictures mate 👌

Sooner or later the timing will work out. Some great drone shots. 👍🥂

Sorry but The black and white shot of the stones is my favorite 👌👌👍

very nice shots likes this

You still got some excellent shots Stuart but if you feel you didnt then you're just going to have to go back another time!

Full marks for sticking it out ..... the west coast of Scotland is always a lottery as far as the weather is concerned and you just have to make the best of what you get.

Really enjoyed that mate, always good to see Harris. Some great images too, despite the frustrations.

Great video, wonderful comments to the flow

Great video Stuart, I'd been looking forward to this one. I think that I would agree with you on the drone, it's just another tool. After all, if we did not accept advances in technology in our chosen career/pastime/hobby then we'd still all be using wooden plate cameras! Great images and no errant dog walkers this year? 😂 Cheers.

sat. down to catch your Lofoten videos and realised I hadn't seen this. Great way to start Sunday off, as the images were great Stuart. Totally agree about your drone comments, why knock something that offers a different perspective on the landscape. As your images shown, there are some stunning opportunities to capture from above

Thanks for sharing Stuart. The pictures were good. Having experienced Lewis and Harris with a mix of weather conditions it can be frustrating to not get decent shots when there is such beauty. it just means another trip is required and I am sure you will feel and be inspired.

Great shots there Stuart👍

Enjoyed the video, as always, but sometimes feel you're a bit hard on yourself if I'm honest. If I was doing work as good as yours I'd be celebrating, Scottish weather is unpredictable at the best of times. As Mr Connolly says, if you don't like the weather, just wait 20mins there'll be another along! Harris looks amazing, never been there, but certainly need to add to list, particularly as we have friends who have just finished building a house there! Keep smiling mate! 😀

Hi Stuart. Absolutely fabulous location and images. Did you spot the human face at 2:52 ? It is in the upper half just right of centre. I guess the dusting of snow makes it stand out. I really enjoy your vlogs and images plus your contrbution to the pubcast. Thank you and best regards.

Wow I must be easily impressed 😁 I thought you captured some 'portfolio' images during your trip but you seemed to be disappointed 🤔 The earlier images from the beach with the snow covered mountains were some of the best images taken on Harris. I'm hopefully visiting next Spring but will have to make do with a week on the Isle of Skye in March this year ☺

Loved it...some really beautiful images and that location looks absolutely stunning....Have you been to Ireland to takes images Stuart?

I think in the future, all landscape photographers will have a drone and they will be so much more capable of/in low/high light, stabilization. They will even be AI to "find" the best locations/view points for you. They will even shrink, so that you can use them more places with fewer restrictions.

Wowww Stu, im always on Harris in august with my girls and have managed to get sub tropical weather very luckily each time. So to see the hills with snow on them is so refreshing. Will you have your images up in the gallery from this trip?

It's fair to say that you've still come away with some fine images, even if they're not quite the ones you envisaged. It begs the question, when is the best time to visit Harris, as if you've had two trips now where the conditions didn't pan out as expected, so do you pick a different week or will it be a case of third time lucky? Who knows? I'm looking forward to seeing more stills from your new drone, almost as much as being able to successfully sell my Lee Filters gear in readiness to switching to Kase, but the bids weren't generous enough to facilitate that first time around. Better luck next time, eh?

Think this video has just pushed me over the edge to get the mavic 3 ! Beautiful shots with the drone, a real art in itself. The rainbow shot was especially good, what a moment to capture. Brilliant mood at the arch over the sea too ! Stuart I’d be really keen to know your views on the mavic 3 compared to the air 2s, was it worth it to swop ? Thanks

Pleased to see you didn't encounter any moronic dog walkers with a ball this time!!
