I’m 61, take my old camera with me probably all the time.
I happened upon your channel and I thank you for your content.
I at times get criticised bc I take photos of sand, dirt, items on the ground nature or not.
So many things I see differently others find funny 🤷🏽♀️
Regardless, your content is great and I appreciate you 🙏🏽
That focus stacked low angle tripod image is awesome !! Gonna have to try that myself 😊
I love how you find beautiful images where others find nothing. You got some great stuff! Thanks for posting.
When your music is almost as good as your photography... all the feels Kim. Well done.
Beautiful Work, Thanks for your Time !!
Thanks for this video, and excellent pictures!
Unlimited beautiful opportunities to enjoy Nature: Sea, Sand and Sun.
Sehr inspirierend. Wunderschön.
Hi Kim, New to your channel & I must say it's a lovely change to the normal photo blogger channels, you discuss how you feel at the time of your video, detailing how sometimes it's ok to be less than enthusiastic as well as being super excited, this is a true reflection of our mental health just now.
I have been an avid amateur photographer since purchasing my first SLR camera back in 1981 then moving to medium format then back to SLR before joining the digital age with my DSLR. which created a new found love of photography, no longer worrying about only having 36 exposure film or slides with my SLR or 10 or 8 shots with medium format roll films.
Keep up the good work Kim with true to life vlogs. Kindest regards Phil.
Love how you do, spek and feel, great person. Love from Switzerland.
I have just come across this video and instantly recognised your location here. I have spent many summers on this beach and you have reminded me, that I have taken some gorgeous sunset photos here in the past.
I used to be right into going out with the camera, however not so much anymore and I'm at the stage of giving up with it. But I must say, seeing this scenery again and your interesting take on something so simple, has given me some inspiration.
I would just like to say, thank you for this! 🙂👌
Glad you became more "grounded" in your photography, Kim. The connection is not just visual when you really take time to look at where you are. It is healing. Great images!
Thank you :)
Perfect to wake up to on a Sunday morning...........😎
soo nice, and relaxing too watch, well done !
Beautiful capture 📸
Kim Great tips and thank you for sharing
Thanks for your content on this video and for the inspiration given!
Great images and also very good commentary. And I for one truly love your Scottish accent!!!
Nice! The small field of stones behind you looks like a fine subject too : )
That photo at 7:50 is stunning!
Seriously inspired! Will revisit soon🤗
Focus stacking is something I’m definitely trying more too…that shot was awesome! 📸😎
Thank you Jason!
A beautiful video, your fantastic story telling voice … ☺️
I usually hate when people post edit too much but the way you use it, is truly lovely. You have given me a boost of inspiration, a boost of support I desperately needed.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful images
I haven't done a lot of macro photography, but focus stacking is definitely useful for that. I never thought of extending it's use to landscape photography, usually relying on a small aperture to keep everything in focus.
Thank you, I like your attitude to photography.
with focus stacking your expensive dslr/mirrorless now finally produces smartphone level output!
Your videos are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
And yet another amazing video. Thank you Kim.
What a beautiful landscape!! And your images are stunning. Thank you for sharing your images and your in the field flow.
Great vid, really enjoyed.
Interesting use of available technology - but still simple. Nicely illustrated. B
Nicely done!
Very impressive. Amazing photos!! Well done!
This is beautiful.
Most people think of a cloudless sky to be a perfect sky, but not photographers! I much prefer living in Scotland with clouds making every shot different, to a featureless blue void.
I enjoyed your comment about clouds. I visited Scotland (I live in Oregon, US) when I was 18 years old. I am now 70. My great grandfather was born in the small town of New Deer. It rained buckets every day for the 2 weeks I was in your beautiful country - and I loved every day I was there. I remember the rock walls that served as pasture boundaries. I was mesmerized by the miles and miles of rock walls. Best to you and yours! Jim in Oregon
Hello Jim
Glad you enjoyed visiting Scotland. We call the rock walls 'drystane dykes'. Unfortunately, they're gradually dusappearing as farmers put fences up by them and don't repair falls, which must be a pretty labour intensive task.
Agreed! I live in Midlothian.
You don't have to live in place where the weather is miserable to have clouds
well said ... "a featureless blue" sky is 'perfect' only when we want a totally clear blue sky in our image for whatever the reason ... otherwise, half-cloudy skies with that ever changing light and shadows, although making it a little too hard for getting the right exposure at times, it allows for a lot more different and beautiful shots actually ... timelapse videos also work great only under half-cloudy skies, especially when they are moving a little faster than normal ...
I have been a commercial photographer for 47 years. I have learned to have one tripod that I only use in sandy/dirty type locations. Sand gets into everything dealing with the tripod legs. It is just about impossible to get the sand out. I also have one tripod that I use for everything else on location and one heavy tripod I use in the studio.
You are perfectly right. It's all about seeing the opportunities.
I recently moved to using a compact digital camera and one thing I like about it vs. interchangeable lens camera is the wide depth of field, which is great for landscape pictures.
When in doubt, look down. 👍🥂
Fantastic images as usual , Kim. Thank you for sharing your focus stacking technique.
Beautiful I love the different sand textures..great ideas to try next time thank you Kim
Awesome images and video Kim. I'm with you, you can always find something to shoot. Thank you for taking us along.
love your vision
Your focus stacked images are stunning! Thanks for taking me along!
Lovely to hear you comment on looking deeper. Such mindful skill to experience the world and make photographs
Some amazing shots! Beautiful day and adventure
A wonderful informative video Kim, I love how you see beauty in the simplest forms nature throws up and use your creativity to capture some great shots, I felt like I was there watching the sunset with you. Thanks!
Beautiful images Kim especially the abstract work. Many thanks
Loved it Kim, thanks for taking us along.
Another awesome video and beautiful images Kim!!
Liked! Wonderful presentation. I especially appreciate how you worked with a beach, without using clouds or permanent terrain features, to be so very creative. Here on the upper Gulf Coast, of Texas, where flat coastal plain meets sandy and muddy beaches, there are no significant dunes, no tall trees, no rocks, and a minimal tidal range, but you have shown how to creative something so significant, with such simple, low terrain features. Thanks!
Thanks for this Kim, it's good to be reminded that there is no such thing as a failed shot, just another opportunity to learn something, had really fallen out of love with photography until recently by forgetting that and being so harsh with my images that it wasn't fun anymore
Capturing the light off of those mini-sand-formations was genius. The pictures turned out great.
- The technique of focus-stacking for the sunset composite image was for me, a learning experience. Thanks.
Absolutely love the focus stacked image ❤
I love footprints in the sand as long as some of them are mine! yes that's a wonderful part of the world where you are enjoy every minute of it.....Thank you for taking us there!
I love that focus stacking technique. It seems so obvious and so much easier than the faff of doing in the camera
Angel voiced Kim comes back with another great video. I must admit, even though my stuff (mostly) is weather sealed I find that I am very cautious when the weather is less than perfect. I really must be more inclined to get out there when the weather is more inclement . Thank you for all your videos, they're brilliant.
Enjoyed this very much. I have found that if you wrap your tripod legs with plastic bags they are a lot easier to clean up after being in the sand.
Enjoyed the video as usual Kim.
You captured some really nice image's as usual.
The image that you photo stacked was brilliant.
Look forward to the next one.
Take care.
Absolutely stunning images, love your videos
Great video Kim really like thefocus stacked image and the abstracts at the end of your day 👍
Beautiful video, often we look for something spectacular to shoot, and yet there are patterns and other things all around us.
Hi Kim, wow such beautiful light , what a stunning evening! Love the images! ( & especially the focus stacked blended image 🙌 ) Loving the orange glow! X
Hi Debbie and thank you very much! It was such a beautiful evening indeed
This completely changed my thoughts about clear blue sky photography. Most people prefer to have a cloudy sky when taking pictures, and I was one of them. I will experiment more. Thank you
Lovely, Kim
Beautiful images and great information. Thank you.
Great video and inspiring as always. The images were brilliant. I'm going to give focus stacking a try for sure now ❤
On the beach without yer Wellies, shame. Great vid, thanks for posting, cheers from Canada.
Another super video, Kim, with a valuable message to get out whatever the weather.
I had similar experience yesterday going out into the Lakes under a clear blue sky - I didn’t see anyone else with a camera, probably because a clear sky doesn’t typically lend itself to dramatic or moody landscapes. It made me focus on what was there, though, and I ended up with a few images I’m really happy and which are a little different from the norm!
Great to hear this Martin. There's always opportunities, no matter what the weather. Sounds like you had a lovely day out 😊
Simply wonderful! Such a great opportunity to practice grounding out there. Thanks for bringing us along. I am going to be looking for a camera that will do the in body focus stacking. I should be upgrading soon. I look forward to seeing you again next Sunday.
Fantastic landscape!!
I have used this for years in southern Utah, I rarely take a landscape picture anymore without using it.
One of your best, Kim!
Great pictures, Kim. It's always interesting to see photographers on their journey. Abstract photography can yield stunning results. Enjoy your photography, I know I do. Cheers and subscribed.
Nice in such a beautiful part of the world. Re foot prints. A set of foot prints accompanied by a dog's prints is nice, Also adult and child. Subscribed. Cheers from Australia.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Stunning photography, thanks for sharing your tips! I also love abstract photos, I think beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. :). Cheers
Excellent video, Kim. Thanks for the suggestions.
Stunning images and food for thought for me especially regarding lighting, thank you :) X
Thank you, enjoyed hearing about your describing your thoughts about what you were seeing. Beautiful shots.
Love the focus stacked sunset, I’ll have to give that method a try
First time visiting your channel, subscribed.
Like this type photography finding beautiful shapes and form and isolating them from the grand landscape.
A tilt and shift lens (using tilt) its perfect for this sort of flat plane photography where everything needs to be in focus.
Getting back into photography after a 7 year hiatus due to family issues.
This sort of video is very encouraging.
Thanks for sharing your focus stacking technique and the wonderful results. Your photographic session was full of fantastic images. Great work!
Thank you for the kind words Michael. Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Fantastic! Keep it up! You help inspire!!!
Hello from Canada, great shots. I'm definitely going to try the focus stacking , the results are stunning.
Have a awesome day !
Great advice Kim and some that should inspire to go out, just because you should. On the focus stacking I watched a macro photographer take 80 plus images using stacking the auto feature. Subject was a flower and blimey it was sharp. 👌🏼
Awesome!
I've not heard of focus stacking. An interesting item I'll look to use. Thanks
Excellent video!! Never thought about what you just accomplished. I live in Montana, USA so we have no beaches. However I think I might be able apply this on some rivers. Beautiful shots that you ended up with!!
Good morning Kim, starting out my sunday is always better with your video. Your tips and ideas are always helpful and add to my knowledge of photography. There is no limit to what one can do or learn in the outdoors, it literally changes by the second, we are only limited by our imagination. I said it before, my "peace" is in the outdoors. Your a joy to watch, have a blessed week.
Thank you! Wishing you a blessed week too :)
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous images. I'm going to Scotland in the fall. Looking forward to it.
Wishing you a lovely time when fall arrives 🍂
Nice images, Like the lines around the images
Brilliant images Kim.
Outstanding video … thank you!
Great video and awesome pictures ❤
WOW that was an amazing photograph!
HDR Focus stacking are good fun also. Loved the first image of the footprint, looked like a giant had stood on the bank of a river before you panned out, then it became obvious what it was...
