Another great video! I appreciate you talking us through the early photos where you exposure bracketed and focus stacked. I have not tried that yet. It sure produced great results. Thank you for getting my Sunday off to a good start! Jim.
I'm a massive waterfall junkie. Probably my favourite landscape element to photograph. You got some great images John. Yet another location to add to the ever expanding list 🙂
@@garrysugdenphotography thanks Garry! Finally made it to that lone tree in Glencoe this week. Its in tomorrows video, not the main location as the midges forced me to leave early!
Thanks! I used to make one image from each video available on my website as a fine art print, been considering re-introducing that idea. Watch this space!
Nice shots all round. I think the only really viable shot from that ledge is by lying down on it with a wide angle over the edge; I've always baulked at getting that muddy though. Some woman fell off that ledge, some years ago ... RIP. Those trees are over-saturated ... with water, they've been over-saturated all bloody summer long. We're getting the temperate rain forest coming back in a big way, and midgey heaven.
Top Drawer You should check out the waterfall on the River Cart in Johnstone the cycle track passes by it down at the bottom of the gorge .. It's raging torrent on occasion after heavy rain.. Closest access point is across from morrisons car park cross the rd walk up the trk
Another great video, John. I totally agree that the second composition at 7:55 works better. Having read this month's newsletter, I just wanted to say that I was disappointed to read about the reaction to your project grant submission, but also wanted to wish you well moving forward as you now focus on your photography career, following the closure of your laboratory. All the best!
Very nice! I'll have to try exposure bracketing on similar falls. I have always just used a single shutter speed (typically between 1/8 and 1/2) on small cascades but I like the nuanced textures on your photos. I'll have to bump up my post processing skills to the next level to approach your results.
Thank you! I usually decide on an aperture then shoot one image at the camera's recommended shutter speed then gradually increase the shutter speed from there.
You got some really nice shots, John, the last time I was there with my Son the water was so low and the whole of Humanity seemed to descend on the area we didn't wait long. I think if the Midges had also appeared we would have thrown a rope over a tree😩😩
Thanks Douglas! Yeh it's a bit hit and miss with the crowds there. I've had it to myself a few times but also had to jostle for space just to see the falls on other visits. Still not managed to find anything worth shooting downstream from the bridge. Need to go back in autumn and see what I can find!
I always exposure bracket waterfalls - it gives both the detail and the silky smoothness of a longer exposure. That tree in the picture at 10:00 is going to be a real problem in the future. It's amazing how many potentially great pictures and panoramas are ruined because a tree has been allowed to grow smack bang in the middle of them. And there usually isn't the option to move in front of it without risking your life.
Yeh, that tree is a problem already and I couldn't see a way around it. I tried a tilt-shift 3 shot panorama from that spot too but it didn't make the final edit, mainly because of that tree!

Thanks Jim!
Thanks, John, for the great images and tips on photographing waterfalls.

Great images John, my favourite is at 6:42 love it. Would make a nice print.👍

Thanks! Aye that ledge is very iffy and even worse when the grass and rocks are wet and slippy!

Thanks! I'll check that out! I was at the White Cart yesterday scouting locations there. I'll get to Johnstone soon

Thanks Robert! I think that second composition is definitely a lot more balanced. Glad I decided to move round a little now!
So many good images there.
thanks!

Much …
Some lovely compositions John nice one 👍👍
Thanks Simon!
Great video again John thanks.
Thanks Malcolm! I shot this a couple of weeks ago but it's been a hectic few weeks so only got around to editing the images yesterday!
