Many thanks! I appreciate your comments and for taking the time to comment.

It's a beautiful stretch of coastline. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

The Uists are certainly a little softer than H&L…but no less beautiful. I've really grown to love the group of islands that make up the Uists…..Dean

Awesome, thank you! The last image was taken just a few days earlier, but unfortunately I was not filming…but it was beautiful conditions. Dean

That is awesome! Thank you for watching my channel and taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated. Dean

You are very welcome and I'm pleased you enjoyed the vlog.

Hi Colin…thank you for watching my channel and taking the time to comment. Your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. The Scottish Highlands are a magical place and I agree, Scotland is the greatest country on earth and I'm proud to call it home. Dean

@@deanallanphotography disgusted by your misrepresentation of our culture. It’s all an empty space for people with money. I think you know nothing about Barra. Probably you’re like isn’t this great a’ bheil Gàidhlig aged ? Chan Eil.

Couldn't agree more! The wilder the better.

Hope you have a great time…..I'll be there end of Sept, the 1st of 6 winter workshops there…looking forward to it…Dean

I agree Neville….I prefer the 2nd one. I'm back there in a few weeks, I'll see whether there is a compromise somewhere between the 2 viewpoints….Dean

@@deanallanphotography I did wonder what it would look like if you dropped the camera much lower. Just a thought.

Hi Andy - thank you for your comment. I think B&W could work (I'll try it) - mainly because the water was quite murky. I photographed the exact same photo in March and the water was crystal clear and colour definitely worked. But you could be right…I'll take a look. Thank You. Dean

Hi Matt….thank you for watching and taking the time to comment - it is much appreciated. No problem with sharing it. The more the merrier. Dean

Thank you very much….its a wonderful location and I agree, I prefer the the elevated position and the separation between the houses and the land behind.

It's a beautiful Rockpool…which isn't always there but thankfully has been for the past month or so. It's a gorgeous location.

Deal! Let's hope for some good photographic weather…it'll be a great experience for you to see the beautiful Hebrides. Looking forward to meeting up with you very shortly.

Mine too! Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated.

Thank you for watching this episode David ….. I prefer the 1st image as well, with the separation. So important to create that depth we see with our eyes and transfer that onto a 2D format.

I agree Graham, the 1st one is my preferred one. Thank you for watching and taking the time t comment - your continued support is very much appreciated.

Hi David….thank you for watching this episode and taking the time to comment. Yes, I think I agree with you, just the one bridge provides a stronger composition in my opinion….Dean

It is!

Thank you John….very much appreciated and I hope you are enjoying my new channel. Dean

I agree….the last image had so much natural material to offer. Difficult not to get a good shot . Thank you for watching, greatly appreciated. Dean

Hi….thank you for watching this episode and am pleased you liked it. Very much appreciated….I agree, the dead tree image has grown on me, I wasn’t too sure at the time I took it…Dean

Thank you for watching…very much appreciated. Dean

Hi Steve….thank you for watching and pleased you enjoyed it. It is a great location with or without a camera…..Dean

Thank you for watching - it is very much appreciated and I'm pleased you enjoyed it…..Dean

Hi….thank you for watching - you're absolutely right, it is not in the Highland Council area…Dean

@@deanallanphotography Keep up the good work though, I'm from North West as well, a bit North of Gairloch :)

@@MovingTargetOne You're very fortunate to live in a most beautiful area - we both are. Thank you for taking the time to comment - it is very much appreciated and I hope you continue to watch the channel.

Hi Neville…..it's a beautiful location & I got pretty lucky with the conditions. Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated. Dean

Hi Alan…thank you for watching and taking the time to comment - it is very much appreciated. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down as I do tend to get a little too excited when I'm out photographing…sometimes it's a good thing but not always. Dean

Hi Graham - thank you for watching and your comment. The last image is from one raw file - the light was dancing all over the place because of the strong winds and broken clouds - I took a whole bunch of photos and chose the one you saw. Editing was just in Lightroom tweaking the highlights and shadows and then using a couple of radial filters to bring out the differential lighting. All in all, I guess it took me 10 minutes to edit. I only filmed this yesterday so most of my time since has been spent putting the video footage together. Because I learnt my photography craft during the film days, I have been disciplined to get as much done in camera which cuts done editing time in the digital era. Dean

Hi Chris…thank you for watching and taking the time to make a comment….it is very much appreciated. I'm a bit old school with self congratulatory remarks - the most overboard I tend to go is "half decent". I'm pleased you liked the final image - it's a shame the old croft may not be there in a few years for others to enjoy it and to try and understand a little about the history of this area. Dean

It’s in the write up Paul

@@deanallanphotography Sorry mate dyslexia again did not even look this time haha... great video i am up in Scotland in October may take a look. Me and a couple others are heading to Harris and Lewis for a 3 or 4 nights do yo fancy joining us?

@@deanallanphotography PS google maps show the roof on the house wow

@@paulcomptonpdphotography I'm running workshops in the Uists & Torridon in October before heading over to H&L on the 21st October to run a workshop there - maybe bump into you if you're there at the end of October….

@@paulcomptonpdphotography it's rapidly deteriorating - don't think it'll be there in the next 4 or 5 years….

Thank you so much Douglas - comments like this are a massive boost to me and make it all worthwhile. Thank you for watching my channel and taking the time to comment….Dean

Hi John….Altnaharra is beautiful area to spend some time in….I know it very well and the roads that lead from there to the north coast (whichever route you take) are spectacular. Thank you for watching - very much appreciated.

Hi Greg…thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It is very much appreciated. Dean

Hi Charlie - thank you for watching this episode and taking the time to comment - much appreciated. Sometimes I prefer the faster shutter and others the slower. This probably explains why I blend some of my images - to get the best from each shot. Dean

The colours were beautiful especially the water. Hope you got some great shots and enjoy your return trip next year. Dean
