Thank you. Choosing colour or B&W is usually down to the light. If it's a contrasty light it generally works better in B&W. Landscapes during the middle of the day, for instance, are usually a good candidate for B&W. There is no science for it though. I just try them in both :)
Yes indeed Gary, you nailed it! This makes #20 whilst going in reverse order... Great tips on AEB too. That you are getting these captures in less than dramatic light is testament that it can be done with some patience. Many folks simply can't catch the " Magic Hours " for any number of reasons, so this type of shooting is [reality] for many, myself incl. about 50% of the time... I have completed my tripod upgrade, leveler & Arca Swiss mounting recently, i.e., ProMediaGear TR-424 Series, Acratech GP Ballhead, plates, etc., next up, hopefully in the spring, will be the Lee Foundation Holder & Filter System... Then a full frame body, more lenses & on & on it goes, NEVER ENDING! Thanks, really enjoyed the Isle of Skye shots... Bill Farr...
Really liking your vlogs Gary, with some fantastic scenery with great photos and tips. Think I may have preferred a b&w version of the blurred water with blurred clouds if you had darkened the sky down. But we cant all like the same. Looking forward to the next one
Cheers Stephen, I thought I added that one to the video, damn sorry. I'm not a keen cloud enthusiast when there's too much movement but I totally understand that some people are!
Good stuff Gary and a great place to visit. Hope to have a film up from Skye up tomorrow you might enjoy. Some good advice but think I noticed in your other film that you don't use back button focus.
Renegade Scot - hi, no never do. I prefer to use the shutter button. Either works perfect though. Reply here when your film goes live please. I'd love to see it
Some excellent images there Gary, Skye is an awesome location. I hope your body has recovered from your exertions, it must have been tough keeping to such a harsh diet programme :-)
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Dallas Evan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Fantastic work Gary...very inspiring! I probably speak for a few others, but if it’s not too much trouble can you throw some post processing footage in every once and while? I find it interesting to see how others process their images. Thanks for considering!
Just started following you and surprised to see myself in your video. I’m one of the Fire Fighters in your background at Kilt Rock. Not the best of days in the job. Great pics and message me I’m happy to share some gems of places to take photos on Skye if you like. Great vlog 👍
Scott J MacLucas-Paton - hi Scott, thanks for the sub. Kilt rock eluded us that week on 3 separate occasions. I’ll pm you when I’m in the studio. I just want to ask about that particular day and interested to know where the gems are. Cheers Scott
Hi again Scott. I can't find where to PM you? Quick question... When we turned up at Kilt Rock, it looked just like it was a training day. I found out afterwards that a man had jumped and committed suicide. That's really sad. My question is, according to the local news they found the body in the afternoon. We and you guys were there in the morning. I'm just trying to get my head around the fact Kilt Rock wasn't actually closed off to the public? I think that's what confused me. Totally understand if you can't divulge what actually happened. gary@garygough.co.uk
Dave Evans - ahh the big fella. How are you? I'm just uploading my Flying Scotsman video and picture to TH-cam, it should be up tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the kind words btw.
Good thanks, got some nice shots up there. Def a place for a winter shoot. look forward to your next vlog. going to watch your skye ones tonight. the steroid injection into mu ankle worked so no more limping. Bring on the mountains
You need to get your Licence Dave lol, save all that walking , Still not had chance to do the tree shots myself yet, did the Scotsman like Gary. :) Nice meeting you guys.
A quick piece of constructive critique: A whole minute of introduction before the actual video content starts feels like an eternity to the viewer:) I suggest keeping it below 30 seconds. Very entertaining video. :)
rontz - fair point. I added the "episode teasers" at the beginning to let the viewer know what's coming up. It seems a popular thing to do these days but I accept your point. Thanks for the feedback, it's always welcome
Really love the way the lone tree stands out against the background; top class.
Right on all day shooting! Thanks Gary for the inspiration.
Cheers again Rod 👍
The British photographers are getting to be my favorites. There are a couple and they are so enthusiastic and excited to do the work they do.
I need to know who they are so I can learn to be enthusiastic too :)
I've got quite a lot of dedication too Gary, mainly on a Saturday... LOL
Any day of the week is good :)
Love the long exposure B&W with the mountains in the background. Makes me want to try more B&W photos!
Any chance you could let us know the settings for it? Also, how do you generally decide whether to do color or B&W? Thanks!!
Thank you. Choosing colour or B&W is usually down to the light. If it's a contrasty light it generally works better in B&W. Landscapes during the middle of the day, for instance, are usually a good candidate for B&W. There is no science for it though. I just try them in both :)
@@GaryGough thanks! Do you just try it in lightroom or use profiles built in the camera? Like Fuji has an Arcos film simulation for BW in camera.
Oh, as an old rugger I appreciate your dedication at the training table!
some great images captured........
Cheers Tony, very kind
Brilliant work! I enjoyed every minute of it.
Chris Lang - cheers Chris

Like the preparation involved , I could do that 🤣
Fantastic work Gary...very inspiring! I probably speak for a few others, but if it’s not too much trouble can you throw some post processing footage in every once and while? I find it interesting to see how others process their images. Thanks for considering!
Hi Todd, thank you. My latest video has my post-production work in it... th-cam.com/video/gx0XChPrvcc/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps
This really had the good the bad and the ugly, very entertaining but unfortunate events of that man at the cliff edge, great video though love it!
Thanks, very kind of you to say. A real shame about the guy, sad
keep em coming, I'll be watching and yes you got the sound issue (mic) sorted
Was I the Ugly in your original comment? :)
haha no, the incident was, the bad was having to wait for the brekkie and the no drone footage and the good was everything else.....
Just started following you and surprised to see myself in your video. I’m one of the Fire Fighters in your background at Kilt Rock. Not the best of days in the job.

It's top priority Tony. It will open a whole new world of opportunities for me.
Is that a yeti in the background at beginning?
If it's a fat Yeti it'll just be me :)
