- Although it can be very therapeutic doing landscape photography on your own, there is no denying that sometimes it is nice to have someone to share the experience with.
In this video I team up with Adam (also known as Wadger Catcher) and head to Rattray Head in Aberdeenshire, for a morning of photography and ask him what his feelings are on the topic.

Landscape photography... The introvert's dream job!
I mainly do wildlife and some landscape work. Most times I'm with my wife but I also value the solitude of the forest. As a general statement, I don't relate to most people that well which is why I never even thought of taking up wedding or portrait photography. I've found the quickest way to to make a small fortune at wildlife photography is to start with a large fortune and work your way down. However, the therapy of the woods is by far the best medicine.
Hi Kim, firstly apologies...I've been subscribed to your channel from the beginning of your journey and have to admit I don't watch your videos regularly enough now. I started vlogging a year and a half ago now, and people like Adam and others have really helped me develop and push my photography further. I love being out on my own with my camera and must admit, its much easier to vlog on your own as well as you can focus on your story, b roll etc however I love getting out with other togs. I have met up with several in the last 12 months, both vloggers and subscribers and they have all been thoroughly enjoyable days out. I've met physically and virtually (via SM) so many other landscape photographers now many of which I now class as good friends. Its a great community and its great to be part of it. Anyway, great vlog....your videography is really good now and combined with your awesome images and story telling, you've got a top channel!
Thank you very much for your kind words and for coming back to watch this video. It's great to hear what a positive experience you have had through TH-cam in meeting others and making connections. It certainly can be good for that. I know there is an amazing community down in certain parts of England - sadly very little up here but thats life I guess. Thanks again and all the best with the continued growth and adventures on your channel.
Kim Grant Thanks Kim, but I don’t think the community is location limited. Clearly it’s easier to meet up with other photographers if they live local to you, however the online community is national and even international! Adam is a good example of someone I’ve not yet met, but consider him on ‘online’ friend purely due to the interaction on TH-cam, Facebook, Twitter and other channels. I recommend you join the YouTogs facebook group which is one of many!
haha i always wondered why the name Wadger, the actual answer is far better than anything i could think of!! Regarding landscape photography being lonely. For me personally i find going out being on my own relaxing and gives me the chance to unwind from work and family etc. That being said i do enjoy meeting up with fellow photographers. Its a good chance to talk photography which isn't as easily done at work or home. I am looking forward to getting to the stage of doing collabs with other youtubers and if you're ever down south get in touch!! 😁
Cheers Steven. I kept the reason quiet for 1st year on TH-cam. But ach might aswell let others join In the fun!
Thank you for your feedback Steven. Great to hear that you enjoy both aspects (the alone time and the meet ups). Good luck with the channel and hope you enjoy a few collabs in the near future :)
Beautiful to watch and nice to see you meet up with Adam yes it dose get lonely when your out yourself I sometimes like it but other times it’s nice to have someone to share your interests too 😊
100% agree. I guess it is all about finding the balance. Thanks for watching :)
It can be lonely at times. I also design and weave fabrics which is another solitary activity. Most of the time I enjoy the quiet solitude but every now and then I think about how much more fun it would be to have another person along for the activity.
Theres pros and cons to everything. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Gisele
I completely agree with you about how, sometimes, being out in nature by yourself can be a wee bit lonely, even if you have nature to keep you company. I try to keep a nice balance between going out myself, and bringing others along with me. You got some really gorgeous shots as well! 💙
Thank you Meg. It certainly is about finding that balance. Thanks for sharing you views on the topic :)
It's always fun doing photography but even more fun when you go out with someone else, It's great doing collaborations it helps grow your channel and you can make good friends too, I have smashed the big red button and also rung the bell.
Was good to catch your version of the meet up with Adam after watching his vlog yesterday. I tend to feel the same way Adam responded. I like the solitude when I need the personal space but nice to catch up with others too. Lovely images to compliment a very enjoyable episode
Thank you Scotty. Glad that you enjoyed both of the videos :)
Due to my day job, a paramedic, I use my photography to get away from people. Having time on my own, away from the stresses of life is so good. Saying that a companion to help miss the holes on the road to Rattray Head would have been good :)
Haha the last bit made me laugh! The potholes are pretty bad!! Thanks for watching and sharing your views :)
I always take a couple of friends with me. Gin and Tonic. We have the best time.
That sounds like great fun!
well the simple answer is "yes", and so people who have the energy and space to do workshops and skillshares will always get my support
Thanks for your views Peter 😊
Loved it, I'm a huge fan and supporter of Adam and he is one of the nicest chaps to chat too. Great to see you both collabing ❤️📸
Thank you - glad that you enjoyed it :)
Key is having the right people. They have to have patience. Be willing to wait for you and have similar interested in photography
Awesome Kim, as I mentioned on Adam's channel .. it was great seeing you two working together. Wonderful content as always. Richard
Thank you Richard. Glad that you enjoyed it :)
Hey, what a great video. Keep up the great work! I look forward to your next video.
Beautiful location and stunning photos. I used to go to the Shetlands with work 20+ years ago, would love to go back with the camera some time 🙂👌
What a difference a year makes.... I hope that you’re able to restart your collaborations soon! I’ve just started trying to learn landscape photography and I’m really enjoying your channel. Thanks for sharing :-)
Thank you Michael. All the best with your landscape photography venture 😊
It's always a balance between solitude and loneliness. At least for me that is. Most of the time I enjoy the solitude and feel I get better results when I am on my own. When the loneliness kicks in, either I wont go out or I'll try and find someone to come along (not necesarily a photographer). Plus as you mentioned there's always something to be gained by going out with a fellow photographer!
100% agree with you here. I enjoy the solitude most of the time but also love to share the experience with others. Getting the balance between both worlds is the key.
Id say it can be a bit lonely, even with my dog as company. I also find with someone as company you tend to spend longer out and about. only just found your channel. enjoying it a lot. giving me the confidence to start putting more work into mine.
Thank you very much for your kind words and welcome to the journey. I agree - I too tend to spend more time outdoors if I am with others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
The solitude and isolation are probably the best things about landscape photography!!!
Very nice, relaxing video, and I'll be looking forward to see more collaborations!
Thank you Melissa :)
Hi Kim interesting question and now I've had time to think about it my answer would be I don't get or feel lonely when I'm out and about on my own infact I tend to enjoy the solitude. I retired at the end of March 2019 and for the most part I have just enjoyed doing what I want with out the distraction of others but still have my family and friends so I get the best of both worlds. As for this collaboration video I enjoyed it very much now as for the question although I've kept my answer short it really made me think to the point I almost felt I could write a book on it. Until next time take care my friend.
Thank you for your heartfelt rely Clive. I think it's all about finding that balance 😊 thanks again.
I totally agree it can be lonely. It would be so nice to have someone along sometimes, but here where I live, other photographers seem to shy away from sharing the experience. It's sad because I think it can be a good way of keeping your ideas fresh by sharing creative thoughts.
I guess for many photography is an escape from life and time to relax and unwind away from others. But then for many who do it on their own a lot, it can be nice to share with others from time to time. I hope that somehow you can meet other who may wish to share it with you. Camera clubs can be a good place to look.
I like going out by myself. Like you sometimes I just want to relax and enjoy my surroundings. When with someone, I sometimes feel I am holding them from something or they just bored while I do photography especially if weather is bad.
Good morning Kim, really loved watching. Aww, Rattray Head is always a dream whatever the weather, there's just something about it that speaks volumes to me! 🌊🌊 Amazing location! And really fab to see you collaborate with Adam & have that sit down chat ( sadly in the rain ☔ ) but you both stuck it out! Well done both of you! Great video & images- thanks for a nice start to my Sunday x
Thank you Debbie. Oh it just kept getting wetter!!! 🤣🤣
Thanks again Debbie. Glad you enjoyed and I have to agree - Rattray is a very special location 😊
New sub!! love the video and the pictures are awesome !! Really interesting topic in this video, I have been into photography for 3 years, 2 years were spent by myself or on paid courses, then in 2019 I found Paul Compton's channel and his LVA group and I have been able to meet up with so many new people and find friends who enjoy my hobby which is great because as you said in your video, it forces you to get out in every condition, including shooting in the rain which previously I would have packed up and gone home.
This is great to hear. Thank you for sharing and watching. Appreciate the subscription - welcome to the journey :)
I almost always shoot solo, but do get out with others as much as possible. That being said, I have a new puppy coming tomorrow so I can have a new friend and hiking buddy. Also it's always good to find channels like yours and Adam's (who I first saw when he bumped into Brandon VanSon on his channel) as I get to see the motherland that I dont otherwise get to see in person "Yet".
All the best with the new puppy! Great to have a wee companion to join you on your trips.
Hi Kim. I think I must be doing it wrong! I don't really get lonely, possibly because I have my dog with me pretty much all the time. Even without him I just enjoy being out. That is not to say I don't like being with other people. I have had a great time with others, especially if my humour is allowed to come out to play. (Its bad).
I rarely do the long hikes that some photographers do, so might not be so affected by solitude. I do often wish I was out at the crack of dawn, catching sunrise from an isolated beach miles from anywhere. Unfortunately Adam and I seem to suffer the same issues regarding getting up early when a duvet is more comfortable. :-)
Regards - Alastair
Thank you for watching and for your views Alastair. I guess it is all about personal preference. Lovely to hear that you enjoy the solitude and solo adventures :)
Another great video. Your voice overs have become excellent. You could easily narrate an audiobook :-)
What a lovely thing to say - thank you Stuart :)
Photography tends to be a solitary pastime, not a lot of us out there, and few are enthused enough to get up at 4am to get out there. Another great video Kim!
Thank you Bruce and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
After watching Adam's video, I have been looking forward to yours.
Thanks Jon :)
Hi Kim, whilst I too enjoy the solitude of photographing alone, it is nice to go out with like-minded friends on a shoot too. A couple of years ago I joined a photography club for the 1st time in my life & haven't looked back since. Made loads of new friends & often one or two of us (or considerably more!) will go out on a shoot together. My photography's improved no end and there's no groans if I get out a 10 stop filter for 'just one more long exposure' ! My wife has come to dread the words tripod & long exposure ...
This is so lovely to hear Les. It is fantastic when people find supportive and friendly clubs to join and shoot with. Glad that you've made some great friends and enjoy shooting together.
I agree it can be lonely at times, it’s great to collaborate and share
It always is a lot fun shooting with others....
Sure is Bill :)
Beautiful Kim - I'm really liking the direction your taking with you TH-cam channel.
Thank you Garry. Really glad that yoire enjoying it 😊
great vlog Both of you very interesting Kim , great work as usual , very enjoyable and great photos , thanks , take care
Thank you Mick :)
Hi Kim, that was a lovely collaboration video with Adam. The Images you manged to get were amazing. I'm "Jeff" 🤣or David, or @dharveyphotography And I have to say it's a miracle that you managed to get Adam to meet you before 10 am 😂.
Anyway wonderful vlog and I wish you continued success in the future.
She used the magic trick of letting me park there!!! 🤣🤣 Meant I got up at 730 compared to meeting you at 5am 😂😂😂
Thank you David. He did very well getting up early for the shoot and I'm sure he'll agree that it was well worth it. 😊
@@kimgrantphotography yes, I agree! It was!
I normally go out on my own, partly because I don't know any other photographers, and partly because I like to be on my own timeline. My wife doesn't tend to appreciate waiting around for me when it's cold out, so she doesn't join me too often. When I shoot sunrise, sunset, or astro anywhere out in the wilderness, I prefer having someone with me because the cougars here in Oregon scare me, and having someone else makes it less scary.
Thank you for your feedback and views Robert. very interesting to read :)
I could not properly call myself a photographer, but I take occasional pics to complement my writing. On solitary walks, I get inspired to write some poetry and meditations, and find the solitude is very conducive to that. However, I find an occasional recurrence in my paltry poetry of the idea of looking together and sharing the same experience of the moment, rather than just trying to convey something of it afterwards by sharing what I have written or photographed. Most of what I do is for my own recollection, but it is good to sometimes share-although it is not guaranteed that people will come near to the experience through my words and pictures.
Definitely agree here. It's all about finding the balance between solitude and inspiration and sharing the experience with others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I often enjoy the solitude of shooting on your own, particularly when you hike for hours up mountains just to take it all in. I do however really also enjoy catching up with, like minded people, who share my passion for Landscape Photography. Coming form Orkney, and living in New Zealand - I figure that i have the best of both worlds when it comes to choosing subject matter.
= i liked the natural style of you both bouncing off one another. Id be really keen to explore a collaboration with you then next time I come back to Scotland... if you'd have me! LOL Regards Ewan
Thank you Ewan - great to hear your views on the topic. Orkney and New Zealand certainly are stunning locations. I hoping to make a wee trip to Orkney myself later this year. Feel free to get in touch if/when you're back in Scotland and will see what we can do regarding collaborating.
@@kimgrantphotography - Cheers kim. have a wee peep ay my stuff and see if its something youd be interested in. Cheers K. E
Ewan, I'll happily do a video with you, I've enjoyed your stuff since the ar#eholes giving you grief for not having the big camera out!
I love wandering around in the mountains by myself but sometimes it's nice to have someone there to share the moment with. Your channel is great. I hope to make it to Scotland again someday.
Thank you very much :) Glad you're enjoying the videos and fingers crossed you make it here again soon :)
The opening images of the lighthouse are just stunning. I would happily collaborate with anyone if given the chance. I dont get lonely, I work in a busy hospital all week, so if I do get a chance to get out it's just bliss. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you very much Alex. I used to feel that way too when I worked full time in a hospital. Photography was my escape and relaxing time. Now that i do it a lot more, I feel it's nice to share it with other from time to time :) Thanks again.
Great to discover your channel Kim. A lonely pursuit? I’m torn on this one. Yes it’s great to meet like minded people, but I also treasure the time to be alone and fully immerse myself in the moment and the task of shooting, whether it be stills or video. I have a huge amount to learn and it’s a great way of unwinding and forgetting all of life’s trials and tribulations.
Thank you Peter and welcome to the journey. It's a difficult choice right enough - I guess it is all about finding the balance. Thanks again :)
Interesting. I photograph for my own interest/pleasure, nature is first and foremost the grand inspiration for grabbing images. Had parents who were into adventure; camping, motorcycling, ocean & mountains. 6 weeks of road travels in the western states of the US in the early 90's and visited numerous national parks and awe struck with grand views and interesting geology, then visiting the visitor centers at those parks and saw the pro. shots of that park and wanted to capture my own visuals due to their incredibly inspiring shots - I wanted to have first hand memories of the places and sites in a dramatic way that I experienced. I certainly don't mind solo road trips to locations to camp and gather pics - have not met others with such a strong pull to the natural environment as I have - yet . . . Central coast of CA, San Luis Obispo, if on the west coast, you really should think about the coast line for shots! (keep this to yourself). Have a pleasant 2020.
Thank you for your story and views Gary. Very interesting to read :)
There is a very distinct difference between loneliness and wanting to share. I am often times alone but feel no need to share. However there are times I am alone and would want to share the where and why while I am where I am. I am not feeling loneliness at those times... I am only alone. If you care to share with and along with another, not willing to do so is not a willingness to be wallowing in loneliness. Careful your words and message is important I do feel.
Very interesting response Gerard. Gave me much to think about.
I Like both most of the time I am by myself but ,when I lived in Scotland I was always out with a friend, Great video thanks for sharing.
Great job Kim, sharing work and workflow completes a photographer.
Génial...
Hi Kim, its tricky to find balance between doing things alone and in company. I'd love to have a good photography friend to sometimes go together but I'm failing at the moment. I guess we are a bit individualists sometimes :)
Thank you for your views Aleksandra. 100% agree - finding balance is the key. I too have been struggling to find people to share it with recently but hoping to somehow change that this year. Thanks again :)
Hi Kim. I do like my own company as a rule but as a very amateur photographer I would, now and again, like to go out and about with someone with a lot more experience. I'm sure I'd learn so much more. I retired a few weeks ago and am looking to join the occasional workshop to improve my skills. I live in Edinburgh and there is an organisation called the U3A ( University of the 3rd Age.) for retired people which I've joined. There are many groups in this organisation one of which is photography. Great video and I do like that you tell us the details of your shots. Aperture, speed etc.
Thank you Roger and lovely to hear that you've joined that club and are seeking to meet others and learn more photography skills. What a wonderful way to spend your retirement.
I'm guessing you're from around the Fraserburgh area. I live in Edinburgh but I'm a Caithness man
There are some beautiful beaches in Caithness like Keiss Sands and wonderful rugged coastlines such as the cliffs around Duncansbay Head and Dunnet Head. Sunsets to die for. Perfect for your photographic talents.
Hi Kim, I’ve always been a wee bit of a walker (careful people) anyway, I adore the solitude, isolation and weather exposure, however I don’t feel alone as I feel part of the landscape and environment that I walk in.
I just decided to take up photography before Christmas so I guess I’d love to walk learn and shoot with someone who knows how to work a camera. So there are benefits alone and together.
If you ever fancy giving a tutorial group session let me know, would love to learn from you.
Thank you for your input and views Brian and welcome to the world of photography. Not sure where you are based but I run photography workshops in Scotland if these may be accessible to you?
Kim Grant Kim that would be just ticketyboo, currently I’m based in Ireland, but I’m over in Scotland a lot as my family still lives there. Please let me know how to get onboard with this. brianbrooking3@hotmail.com you have just the personality that would make for a great teacher....
Kim, I know just how you feel and although I really do enjoy shooting by my self and do it a lot it can get lonely at times. I have a few friends that are very good photographers and when I get together with one of them it seems very enjoyable. I'll take the best of both as they happen I guess. I have found that I probably make my best images when I'm alone or at least I think I do. I enjoyed watching this and I'm a new subscriber now. Thank you and all the best in 2020.
Thank you for your feedback on the topic Nick and thank you also for subscribing. It is very much appreciated :)
I've very rarely made it out with another photographer, partially due to my weekend and 2nd shift work schedule.
This summer I volunteered to assist with a local nature preserve's marsh bird survey partially as a way to put that "must get out of bed I'm meeting someone before dawn" pressure on myself. Apparently getting up that early leads to long term delusion as I took a pair of pictures that morning I really like but ... :-\
Loved the video. You ask a great question. I have a busy live outside of photography so I usually enjoy my alone time in nature. At the same there I've had moments when I've experienced an amazing moment and I would love to shout out to someone to come and see. Usually when I'm shooting locally I'm alone. But when I travel to distance places I go with someone or I don't go.
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts. Alone time in nature can be good but it's also great that you meet up with others when away. Thanks again :)
I find shooting with a friend in such a learning experience , but on the other hand doing it alone is so relaxing and mind clearing. Thanks Kim , you'll have to tell us about that Sigma lens you stuck onto your camera.
Thanks for your views Jerry. I guess it's about enjoying and finding the balance between both worlds. It's the 17-50mm lens. I've had and used it for years now. There is a link to it in the video description if you'd like to read more about it :)
Exactly Kim. Quite sometimes, we feel lonely and would like to have someone with us, especially another photographer to share experiences with. Sometimes I challenge people to accompany me, but I have not been successful with this. But it's walking alone in the woods, in the woods, in the mountains. I invite you to join me in the mystical Serra de SIntra, Portugal.
It certainly is lovely to have someone with us from time to time to share it with. I wish you all the best in finding someone to share an adventure with :)
I feel quite the opposite: being alone early in the morning enjoying the silence and the scenery while the world slowly wakes up is something I enjoy very much. I don't get or feel lonely at all. I don't have the time to feel lonely: I'm too busy looking for a great composition or fine tuning a composition. To me it is like an escape from the busy and hectic world. I also find that I'm a better photographer when I'm alone out and about. Being alone removes distractions and I can fully focus on my landscape photography.
Thank you for sharing Hibon. It's very inspiring to hear your thoughts. I too used to feel that way when I had a full time job, as I used photography as an escape and past time to switch off from day to day life. Now that I do it a lot, I find I miss the company of others from time to time, so I enjoy meeting and creating with others where possible. I feel it's all about finding the balance and what works for you :) Thanks again.
@@kimgrantphotography Indeed Kim, the situation is different for enthusiasts and for professional photographers. Unfortunately, I'm only an enthusiast photographer. :-) Would very much like to turn photography into a full time job though.
Nice vlog as usual Kim. I've never seen Rattray head with tide out looks great. I was working with a woman the other week how's dad manned that lighthouse in the past what an interesting conversation we had... Catch up soon hun.....
Sounds like an interesting chat! I've only seen the tide out once myself too. Was interesting to see :)
A funny paradox...when I go out and shoot with others (doesn't happen very often), I feel like I shoot too slow and must speed up for them. When my wife or anyone else tags along, I feel like I shoot to fast and should slow down to get proper shots. Either way...I shoot too fast.
New subscriber from Adams channel here; liked the chat and the narrative but who doesn't like a little North East landscapes. Great video and you may be just the person I need to speak with about a project that I have ongoing, that your input would be greatly appreciated if you have time to chat at some point :)
Thanks Mikey and welcome to the journey. Feel free to email me about your project (email is in video description). I'd be interested to hear more.
Thanks Kim, that's very gracious of you and will do just that.
Love the accent (and the video).
"From Teym to teym I can feel a wee lonley ..."
Kim doesn't have an accent; YOU have an accent.
I would say yes and it definitely helps h ain’t someone with you to motivate you, when I’m out with my camera I’m pretty much always on my own as I’m also a delivery driver so alone all day in my job and then taking photos on my breaks in various different locations in the UK, I do enjoy it once I’m out and seeing nature but I do think it would be nice to go out with people who have the same hobbie
Thank you for watching and for your views Chris. There is pros and cons to both I guess. Nice that you are able to get out on your breaks and enjoy nature though - sounds very peaceful between the long drives.
Hello Kim, great topic,
It is impossible to get anybody to go with you early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
So I too go alone .... , Nice images ...
Also, All the best to you in 2020
Thank you Libor. All the best for your 2020 too.
Wonderful and interesting....loved the very end! For me, doing drone videography, I find the editing time the loneliest. Thank goodness my wife is incredibly supportive, and my harshest critic if I flub a music beat or transition or have a typo in my credits!
Ahhh yes editing can be a lonely experience. Great to have such a supportive wife as you say. Thanks for sharing.
@@kimgrantphotography After much debate, my wife has agreed to be credited as "Creative Consultant" on my videos. Her input, advice, suggestions, and constructive criticism is immensely helpful. Here's a short example, if you are interested...a very strange snow event called Snow Rollers: th-cam.com/video/2zDyz1IhPEc/w-d-xo.html
As a follower of both your channels I commented on Adams vlog that you should try to do more together in the future it,i think it could work well
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see more of us together, I'm sure!
Thank Bob. I really enjoyed my morning with Adam. Would love to work with him again and I'm sure we will make it happen soon :)
Great video and Topic Kim 👍
Thank you very much Chris
Personally I do it to be alone !!!! I find my creativity dissipates with other people around !!!! Iv just subscribed your content is excellent
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Julian and thank you for the sub. Welcome to the journey :)
What do you carry with you for protection? Being female out alone in the nature and away from people do you take something with you or do you just trust and have faith in humanity or trust in God?
Generally speaking Scotland is a very safe country. I know being out on your own in other countries would be risky. I unfortunately have no experience in this though so can't give you much advice. Sorry :(
Love the square crop B&W
Thanks Robin. Different for me but enjoyed shooting it :)
Lovely video Kim. I do not mind shooting on my own but there are locations that I prefer company especially at the weekends. I will be in Scotland in May and locating myself in the Glencoe area.
Thank you and sounds good Jim! Hope that you have a good time in Glencoe :)
I don't like shooting on my own, for the most part. I've got my wife as my shooting partner and we'll team up with some other photographer friends to have a fun day out.
This sounds great Mike. It's always nice to share with others.
Really liked this video... I still my D7200 it is such a great camera! You took some amazing images!
Thank you very much :)
Great vid. 👍🏼
Great video we enjoyed very much … need I say some beautiful images to ...
Thank you Bob :)
I generally go out on my own as well and yes I find it quite lonely, I'll have some trips away around the country but would like to meet up with another photographer, especially if they like camping too.
Totally get this Jeffery.Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic and hope that you find someone to join you on your camping trips :)
My wife gets lonely as the wife of a landscape photographer. I enjoy the time on my own.
saw your spot on "the social"..awesome job!
Thank you very much :)
Yes and NO! 😊
I have the other problem I hike with a group and I have to shoot and frame fast to stay up I'm always in the back of the group having to catch up. Even when it's just two of us I get your bringing that dam camera I'm not stopping for you to shoot pictures .
Not so good. I guess there is pros and cons to everything. If the group aren't into photography and are out for a nice hike then I can see how they may getting annoyed stopping regularly. Hopefully you can hike with likeminded people sometime and be able to stop to your hearts content :)
I was led to your channel by Mark Denney
You need a dog my sweets! I have a chocolate Labrador Retriever and he is my shadow, with me 24 hours a day and I am never lonely and its so rewarding to watch him be an animal when we are in the woods and in nature, Thanks for your video
That sounds lovely. Glad that you get so much joy and company from him :)
You came away with some astounding shots for the dull sunrise!! Your B roll was brilliant, tied with the music, I felt I was straight back into the drizzle! Thanks for showing me the lighthouse! Was a really enjoyable day!
Thanks for coming and told you it was stunning down the other end of the beach ;) HEHE!
@@kimgrantphotography proves my comment about I turn up and just plonk myself somewhere 😂😂😂😂
Photography doesn't make me lonely. I do photography because I am lonely.
I have the same problem. The girl I used to go out with moved away and I've been struggling to find a regular friend since...
Sad to hear that Lucia. I really hope that you find another local photography friend to share your experiences with.
@@kimgrantphotography thankyou Kim.
Is ‘The Social’ written on your hat a restaurant or something else?
Beautiful location by the way

The Social is an online BBC Scotland media platform that I create some content for 😊
No not lonely it's me time and the elements .
I was expecting you guys going to kiss at the end of the video. lol
If your ever in Australia, drop me a line.. I'd be happy to shoot with you and show you some of the local places I like to photograph :)
Thank you for the offer John 😊
Why should be it lonely when you have someone with you? From my point of view, I prefer to shoot landscape alone without distraction.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I guess it is all about personal preference :)
Well aft your contributions to my xmas video my Wife Denise has been going on at me to contact you about a couple of collab. Maybe I can come up to you for a couple days to show me around then you come down to us and we can show you around North Wales or the Lake District. Thanks again for the xmas clip and look forward to maybe meeting up this year.
That sounds great Paul. I currently have 4 projects that I am working on and very little free time but hopefully later in the year things will calm down and we can organise something. I have always wanted to come to Wales and would be cool to see the Lake District too.
Cute couple. 👍👍👍👍
It's also lonely to be a independent of the United Kingdom. The EU is a cold sad place.

Get a dog. You can't call yourself a real You Tube landscape photographer unless you have a
