Finding compositions, CHALLENGE YOURSELF!

- In this video entitled "Finding compositions, CHALLENGE YOURSELF!" I talk you through my thought process when revisiting old locations.
This is a how-to guide to finding alternative landscape photography locations.
Returning to previously photographed areas can be very challenging, especially if you managed to capture great images the first time around. It's all too easy to put the camera down in the same place and retake similar pictures.
I'm not condemning revisiting old locations, far from it. I always encourage people to go back to the same place. There are two reasons for this, firstly, the images will never be the same and secondly, if you try your best to avoid retaking similar shots you'll be forced to work hard. Working hard to find alternative compositions can only help you gain a better understanding of this cherished art, landscape photography.
It's the same as visiting honeypot locations. I always tell people to shoot them but then look around for other compositions and make it your own!

Great place ! Epic Music! Fantastic views! Better company is not easy to find, ! Thanks for sharing !!
Stunning scenery and cracking pictures as usual Gary 👍
Many thanks
Well done for carrying on with the the video while it was persisting down.
What a memorable moment seeing the stag that morning.
I think the fish was saying your not going to take a photo of me with no clothes on.
My favourite I'm were number 3,4,6,10.
Well done Gary, you've surpassed yourself again. 👌
The noise the deer make is phenomenal. The location in this video is absolutely stunning. I would like to visit it someday when the corona is under control and free travel is allowed in Europe again.
It's an awesome location all year round. Thank you 👍👍
Great vid Gary. Good to see you in your element and as usually braving the weather. My favourite pic is the bothy and reflection after “ a bit of house keeping”. Cool attitude with the campers .
Stay well MJ
They all look nice compositions Gary. Yes I would have moved the stones. Keep them coming. Rodders.
10/10 for dedication during that soaking.
Mr Inspirational again...nothing is ever average from your vlogs. Superb stuff Gary..
Thanks for the video, Gary. Great shots! You are nothing, if not persistent!
By jove, that one clip deserves a thumb up. What a place. I have always wanted to visit. I have done that and worse. It was a shock when this vid ended.
Garry, I find it funny you get so exited about the views and things you experience when your in Scotland, me being a Scotsman I do take it for granted and dont appreciate how lucky I am being in such a wonderfull country, but you do remind me how lucky I am. You did make a wee mistake, you called a Loch a Lake once. We only have one lake in Scotland, Lake of Menteith. Great video, love youre sense of humour and enthusiasm , cheers.
Great video and a great location all pictures are fabulous!
Many thanks!
During your video scouting, I really liked the bothy framed in those trees, I was pleased to see you also got the shot. Amazing location, I don't think I'd want to leave.
Great photographs & breakfast!!
It was the breakfast that made it :)
Incredible place!! Love them all!
More super shots thanks for sharing
Absolutely. Just being out is reason enough to go.
A wonderful video with so much on offer including the hardships some photographers put up with. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 👍👍
@@GaryGough You're most welcome. I shall look forward to your next video. Meanwhile, look after yourself and take good care. Daniel
Great video Gary, not watched you for a while but so glad I did. Very inspirational, what ever the weather, get out there and capture! Love Scotland. Really enjoyed your video - big thumbs up from me :)
Brilliant you like your bacon and you got the shots excellent love the videos
Good narration, interesting and inspiring, you're remarkable 👏 👍 thanks for sharing.
show, fantastic photos finding new compositions, videos and always excelent music. Thanks for the tips
and sharing your expertise.
I am learning so much with your videos, thanks!
Thanks for sharing your passion
My pleasure! Thank you
Very nice work indeed. Hope you survived the wet and cold.
Fabulous photos!
Really great tip this. Even after finding an A1 composition, who knows what may present itself from another perspective! May favourite shot was the one from the water's edge, looking up to the cabin with the few rocks jutting out the water. Seeing clear to the rocks underwater was awesome.
What an epic site. I hate to think what your exposure time would've been with your 15stop ND filter. Loving your work and enthusiasm.
Gary daddies sauce is the only source of real men. I absolutely love your enthusiasm about everything intoxicating just want to be there with you I think my favourite is the one with the little water feature as always all your photographer you spawn I strive to be half as good as you. Thank you
I'm sure you're as good Andy. Cheers xx
LOVE the second one with the stream in the foreground with the brown foliage!!! very nice! I have just discovered you...mention from Henry Turner recommending you..I'm very excited to check out more of your work...thanks from Alberta, Canada
Epic location Gary!
Thanks, Gary. I can’t believe you were vlogging in the pouring rain! Beautiful photography.
Glutten for punishment as they say :) Thanks Linda 👍👍
fantastic location, great photos. 👌👍👍
Fantastic vlog Gary
Thanks 👍
Stunning location and equally stunning photography. I am a sucker for panoramas and love the HDR pano. I loved your comment about not shooting wider than 24mm. I think that is refreshing when there seems to be this plethora of shots taken with the 16-35mm or wider. Thank you for sharing.
You capture the enjoyment of photography better than anyone. Great photos are just the cherry on top.
Stunning location and vLog again Gary. I've certainly enjoyed this series of vLog, its made me even more determined to go back to Scotland on a photo trip. thanks for sharing your excitement for the great outdoors we have in this country ours. Keep up the good work Gary.
Gary, very good approach. A place revisited keeps providing new, interesting opportunities. As you point out, the key is taking time to view and consider options, giving oneself chance for creative juices to flow. Great topic, thank you .......
Always enjoy your blogs. I learn plenty everytime.
Fine video Gary, 👌👌👌
Really like the shot at 13:29 with the burn in the foreground Gary. Great to see someone working a location rather than a quick smash and grab session. Thanks for sharing.
I.m surprised you didn't linger longer on the bacon shot, but even that fleeting glimpse had my mouth watering, ha ha Anyway great video again.
Great Vlog, wonderful location, brilliant ideas and concepts, thanks gary thanks for sharing
Fantastic Gary. Love your enthusiasm even when things don't go according to plan. Terrific images as always mate 😊😊
I loved more the new compositions, but they were all amazing!
I always look forward to your films coming out Gary, you never disappoint.
Cheers Peter 👍👍
Great Vlog Gary the images were stunning also.
Many thanks 👍👍
Very special to hear them call, great location
Awesome video with amazing compositions!😍 specially the ones including the trees and the lake! Every composition makes a big difference and adds to the image! The music and the background song are amazing not to mention the coolest drone footage! A superb all around video! 👌👌
I always look forward to your videos. You enthusiasm is contagious. My favorite new photo is the house through the branches. I loved them all. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 👍
I concur... the one through the branches was my top pick as well
Really enjoyed that Gary - great VLOG, great advice re-taking images & visiting same locations & some stunning images - nice one...
Many thanks
Stunning photography Gary. So many fantastic shots. Loved your shot of the bothy framed by the tree branches at 13:40 👍👍
Hi Gary, thanks again for another inspirational video. Your humour and enthusiasm is infectious, despite the weather and other challenges.
Thank you xx
I will watch later as at work just now. Look forward to it.
Fantastic video Gary, love your images very hard to pick a favourite so love them all.
Many thanks 👍👍
Just watched your Vlog.
Gary seriously, your eye for a composition is exceptional. The vlogs you deliver are always so worthy of watching for content,banter and stunning images.
Never fail to deliver. Massive fan of your work.
Richie
Thanks a ton! Cheers Richie xx
@@GaryGough Your work has really truly inspired me. When I watch your Vlogs it's almost like watching a movie.
This is the total opposite of my environment. Too beautiful!
Fantastic Gary. Will be venturing further north on my next Scottish trip.
Yes that's awesome! with some fly agaric too! Well done that was wonderful, thank you...
Great vlog Gary thanks. Don't know why you haven't smashed a 100k yet mate.
Working from home during this pandemic has its advantages, plenty of time to watch and re-watch your vlogs and tutorials...
Cheers Mick 👍👍
Right!
lol...a new twist to the one that got away tale. That aside that location looked bliss Gary and a great selection of images to boot.
Cheers Scotty 👍
Gary you have taught me so much, thank you very much
Hi I've just found you're vlog and subscribed, wow this is stunning , superb photography and very nicely delivered. I couldn't possibly pick a favourite as I would be constantly changing my mind, that's what we wimmen folks do you know. I am so happy you enjoy my little country.
Btw is this Loch Stack? if it is then that huge fish would be a Salmon.
another wonderful, inspirational, video with eye-catching shots, I REALLY have to go home I think. Thanks for another slice of time well spent G.G.
, met you at glen etive 22/23 I was staying in Bothy , love the video , catch up in winter 23/24
The black and white alternative , nailed
Hi Don, I remember it well. Hope you’re keeping well. 👍👍
Persistence nearly a l ways pays off, that reflection shot was ace, nice editing
You can add a stag without being there with you software and add a fish into your pics but I can see that you really did want to capture those images in person. Great vid as always.
Another great vlog from you Gary! Hard to pick a favourite but if I had to with my feet to the fire, theimage with the stream in the foreground at 13:22
oh yes 1st! As always Gary you create some wonderful images and great atmosphere in your films, got to love your enthusiasm even when your standing in biblical rain, lol. Going to watch your film with Jack Appleton now. Superb.
:) 😁😁
@@GaryGough I'm here for the fish !!! lol.
@@antonoat 😁😁 damn thing 😁😁
Great video as always Gary - entertaining and educational. I always choose Daddies brown sauce over HP anyday !!
Good choice! :)
That first shot at 5:40 (The A1 position) is an absolute stunner 📷👍
Thanks Gary, your first video that you did at Loch Stack was the inspiration for me to visit this summer gone and what a Fantastic place and area , I love your black and white photos but the one that you moved the stones for is my favourite and Yes you should of had HP 😂.
lol You're the first to moan about Daddies 😁😁
@@GaryGough that makes me a Winner then lol 👍🏻
Nicely done
Cheers Mark 👍
cant wait to go there in a few weeks fantastic vid
Cheers Jeff 👍
Yet another great video Gary. Whats the location where you was? I'd love to spend a long weekend there trying to perfect daylight long exposures, when we are allowed to travel again.
Difficult to pick a favourite image so many good ones, looks like you are 'living the dream' up there in Scotland. Fab video, the music takes your videos to another level. Thanks Gary
Your Videos are awesome, I find myself like a kid at Christmas waiting for a new one to come out, someday I would love to participate in one of your workshops.
Cheers Paul 👍👍
Great vlog Gary, super location! And of course, great shots!
Amen. Who cares? Great video, as always, Gary!
Wow, that was amazing. I’ve been saving my money for a trip to Ireland when this pandemic is over. I think I might have to come to Scotland as well. Thank you for sharing that !!
I really admire you Gary for never giving up no matter what the weather is like. Daddy’s is the only one to have with a bacon butty 😀
Hi Gary omg what another fantastic vlog and the stag would of been fantastic if you had your camera ready.I think you should move to Scotland 🏴 😂
I would be there in a heartbeat :)
@@GaryGough so what is stopping you for living the dream,life is to short
Good shots Gary. My favourite shot? The last b/w
Are you sure it wasn't Nessy in the loch! Great vlog Gary - when you said about bad timing at the bothy I was half expecting you to say somebody had put some scaffolding up - that's happened to me a couple of times I've revisited places - you just have to laugh!
Hi Gary
Another ripper video and great practice material for me.
Just one question about your changing between f8 - f11 in most of these images was that for depth of field or shutter speed you wanted per image.
Thanks in advance.
Well done on a thoroughly enjoyable vlog, gutted I missed out on the bacon butty!
Hello Gary, I maybe mistaken but I do believe that you did not mention the name of the Loch and where you were in Scotland. However fabulous work as always....
Great video, Gary. And while you asked the community for opinions on their favorite image, I'd be super interested in your own thought process to decide which image you prefer when you come back from a location with a selection of different compositions and executions. Thanks!
A thumbs up just because you continued vlogging in the rain? Naw, a Scot would've done it without cap and rain-jacket 😁 But of course you get my thumbs up for the content, which is interesting and entertaining as usual!
lol Cheers Carlo xx
Brilliant Gary, stunning location and the images were awesome
Beautiful video Gary and fantastic images, but really no HP that is just wrong. Thanks for the music link will have to check it out. Stay Safe.
Great video blog Gary and I’ve just subscribed… weather didn’t look to favourable to start with so a thumbs up to you. I do a lot of sports photography and can I ask are the gloves your wearing specialist photography gloves and if so what brand are they please. I’ve been looking for suitable gloves but want some feedback from someone using some are they worth it? Oh and I think the closer bothy one with the orangey red bracken in the foreground looked great
Great Großartig
Love your work! where is this location ?
WOW, Scotland Heaven on Earth, fantastic.
Did you not think about doing some light painting on the building?
I think that would have looked great.
You should come and have a trip here in Italy... in Abruzzo from the half of September to the end of October is the same with deers... moreover we've got bears...
Sounds like an invite :)
Daddies is definitely the better sauce. Oh yes, great to see you caught up in the atmosphere of the location.
lol cheers Tim 👍
Lovely location, been and going to Scotland far north in a few days.
Is this location on the 500
