I’m currently in Skye looking out on grey nothingness and horizontal rain. You can go to an epic landscape and it can be swathed in cloud and rain. I now feel I can go out and find something to shoot. Thank you for the inspiration and enthusiasm!
@john_norris5 ай бұрын
Have fun - I hope you get some nice shots. I will never forget my trip to Elgol in Dec 2021 - the cloud was so low and thick, there was zero visibility of the Cuillin Mountains. I recall taking a couple of long exposures of the rocks that stand some ten metres off the beach. But still a wonderful and atmospheric place. I wish I was there.

Nice one Tom, for the inspiration! I shall be out with my camera this weekend!… Just a thought or perhaps an idea for a future video… is the opposite to today’s video… instead of high key and light, what about low key and no light… ie like a star scape from a landscape location, you know get some stars and night scapes… it’d be interesting to see your take on it, applying your thoughts and style to it… I think it would work well with some snow covered mountains so they stand out or perhaps as well a calm lake for a reflection. Just a thought anyway and keep up the good work, love ya videos! 👍🏻 Matt
