What wonderful words you put on the final of this video,.".pushing through the unknown has a name and it's called an adventure." truly, inspiring. GREAT JOB!
Another great tutorial! I particularly enjoyed this one as I visit the beautiful Isle of Arran often. If any of you have never had the pleasure I can not recommend it highly enough. The west coast sunsets during the summer are simply incredible!
Hi Adam, I've been watching your channel for quite some time now but this is the first time I've left a comment. Always enjoy your content but the simple text message at the end of the video particularly struck a chord with me. I spend hundreds of hours alone in the middle of nowhere, and to make matters worse as a nightscape photographer .. it's in the middle of the night. I relate to everything you said there and it's exactly how I feel. The adventure and the solitude can be the most exhilarating time and we need to embrace and enjoy it. Thanks again. Richard
I think the reason I love this video so much is because Isle of Arran was the location of the first ever youtube videos that I recorded. Being an Australian, going to Scotland it was special enough, right?! But to have those memories of this being where my photographic (youtube) journey started is just that extra special. A big thanks Adam for bringing this video out mate, loved it. I almost feel like a local to the island haha.
Great vlog and images, Isles of Arran looks fantastic. I'm a big fan of slow shutter speeds and moving water, really enjoyed the shots of the river and mountains in the background.
Thanks Brent. Really appreciate that. That last time lapse was a lucky break actually. Had already packed up when the colour hit but managed to get set up again quickly.
been to Arran at least 25 times over the years, we used to camp in Lochranza in the north west of the island. i have stood on top of every peak, some of them more than once, Arran is my favourite place in Scotland and i have many fond memories of holidays as a child, then when i was married and had a family i took them too......wish i'd been into photography back then, but it's a recent hobby, thanks for the vid, i have subbed and am grateful for the tips and advice.
So much appreciation for the work and thought you put into a single shot. I have to try and adapt that to my work. Need to stop showing up and just clicking away but take my time trying to get a single great photo. Thanks for these videos . You're amazing ;)
Great Blog as usual Adam, I prefer the second shot of the waterfall and I must say there were some fantastic colours in the sky on your last shots great to watch looking forward to the next one... Until next time
Thanks for another inspiring video Adam. And I really enjoy the writing at the end. I know how much work this is so thank you. I always look forward to your next video.
Great episode Adam and thank you for sharing it is well worth the effort you put in. I am looking forward to seeing the next vlog and my adventure to Eriskay later this year.
Adam I’ve been loving your vlogs. Arran is a very special place for me and I’m lucky enough to have been there 100+ times over the years. Just a wee point for clarification - the triangular shaped mountain you were shooting in Glen Rosa from the lovely waterfall on Rosa Burn is actually Cir Mhor with the “Witches Step” behind it. Goat fell is to the right of your shot. Super stuff. Hope you managed to try some of Arran’s flavourful produce.
Great to see you on Arran, Adam. I’ve learned lots about landscape photography from your videos, so even better to see you cover an area where I live. You’ve given me a boost of inspiration and I’m sure to others too. Great work!
Great video - thank you, Adam. We visited Scotland for the first time in the fall, hiking in the Highlands for several days, and then spending several more between Skye and Lewis/Harris. The weather was predictably rough everywhere we went, but that did not deter us from being captivated by the wild beauty of the locations. I would like to have been able to spend months on the Isle of Harris alone, just trying to capture images that portrayed its exquisite landscapes.
Well said in that statement you posted at the end. I don’t get to go to places as beautiful as you as often as you do so I very much appreciate your content. Those sunset pics were gorgeous btw. I have a tried to Ireland planned this June and can not wait to explore its beauty and photograph it as well.
Another great video, Adam, especially that sky at the end. That must be looking towards the Mull of Kintyre or the Antrim coast in Northern Ireland on the other side of the water. I’ve seen Arran and the Mulll from the Antrim coast and have always wanted to go to Arran and the Mull to see across the other way. On a clear day, they say with a good pair of binoculars you can see from the Antrim coast a farmer ploughing a field in Scotland.
Thanks mate. I'd definitely like to get up those mountains at some point. I still want to go up Pen Y Fan in the snow too. Maybe we can make it happen this year?
I visited that place back to the 80s when I was not yet a photographer. If a remember well, I visited a famous botanical Garden there as the climate helps a lot to have there some exotic plants on the west side of Scotland. Was from Switzerland. But now live in Patagonia. Maybe I see you here one day. Greetings,
Great video Adam and definitely a place on my bucket list. I echo your thoughts on fear and comfort boundaries. The images are fab, it looks such an untouched and unspoilt place. Take car John
Hi Adam. Great video and it's brilliant to see a vlog from Arran. I've lived within sight of the island for the past 23 years and just yesterday said to my better half that I really should get over there to do some photography... Your video has reinforced that, so I've added it to my list for 2019. You're absolutely correct in what you said about the ferry services. Whilst I don't live on an island, the ferry is still the primary method of getting to the rest of the world from where I live as the route via road is twice the distance and can be prone to closure because of land slides. I moved here from London and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. It's a forgotten corner of Scotland as everyone bypasses it to get to Glencoe and Skye etc... I've been thinking of starting a vlog to promote the area. Maybe when I retire and no longer have a full on job... Great content. Keep it up.
Nice video! Was in Scotland 2 years ago and I am itching to get back. Had very little time to explore. However, I did get one of my favorite photos there on the side of a road.
Mate this is fantastic. The production is professional and I know how much work you put into making these episodes. I was sad I couldn’t join you on this trip but you’ve made it feel like I was with you 🤝
Fantastic landscape in Scotland! You might also want to explore Wales though as we have miles and miles of rocky coastline with secret little bays, sandy beaches, stone beaches, and plenty of completely unspoilt landscape around Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons with e.g. it's 'waterfall country', Pembrokeshire coast, not to mention Elan Valley and numerous lakes and reservoirs. We get foul weather too, but usually not quite as brutal as Scotland 😄
I recommend you Go back in summer/autumn,Arran is one of my favourite places 👍. Mull is very wild,skye is amazing but very touristy now I find. If you ever get the chance visit Harris/Lewis.. Stunning place
Great video as always Adam! I just want to win the lottery and spend the rest of my days running around the British Isles taking pictures! You bagged a great group this go!
Superb video Adam. As usual. Your video production level is just fabulous. Drone work and that time lapse at the end where great. I gave your video an 'end credit' shout out on my most recent video coming out Saturday. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see you up in Scotland Adam. I really liked your portrait shot on the river and the first shot you showed of the sunset. Your end screen is very true and summarised the work involved in the vlogs well 👍🏻
That looked like a great adventure. I'm hoping to bring my family to Scotland for our first time this year and you (along with other photographers I follow) are not making it easy to narrow down the list of must-see places! I will need many trips, it seems, although that's not a bad thing! Thanks for taking us along.
I love that you get what Scotland is all about and Arran is such a special place, great video, you really had to work at those images and it was worth it.
Adam, you should try to come to Norway one day. Everybody is out photographing the fjords and Lofoten, but I live in the eastern part of Norway, and we have a fair few landscapes to photograph here too. Especially huge mountain landscapes like Femundsmarka or Dovrefjell are something you can very much photograph.
I spent a week over Xmas a few years ago. It’s a great place to explore. Got some amazing photos just a shame I was not vlogging back then. I have an idea for you will message you.
I very nearly missed this one, yet another notification I didn’t get I think there’s been four or five in the last week from different channels. I really felt there with you with this video, you described everything really well. I like you took us to somewhere different than Sky. Nothing against Sky, but everyone does it. Tough decision which image I preferred of the stream and mountain but I surprisingly I think I prefer the horizontal one. What a cracking couple of images to finish on. As always a brilliant video, thank you Adam.
Adam, great to see you on Arran and hope you return one day as Goat Fell is worth ascending for the views. In my current role, Arran is part of the area I am responsible for so I love going across any time I can as it truly is a beautiful island. Would be a great venue for a workshop but in the meantime, thank you for a great episode this week
You are definitely inspirational for me. I moved to an area with the whole plan of getting out and experience nature more. In the past 2 years, I've done the exact opposite due to a horrible work schedule. I'm trying to change that but it is hard in the winter to get out and do something adventuresome. I used to do it as a part of a meetup group. Just got to find a way to get me out from behind the monitor or the cell phone and get out into the world and explore. Thank you for the thoughts you expressed at the end of this video.
Adam, Sweet shots of the stream and catching that sunset light quality was a great finish! Hey, bud, your face is thinner. The work-out/health regimen looks to be working a treat. Thank-You, Mike
Hi Adam, Arran is a lovely island with plenty of photographic opportunities. Goat Fell is well worth the hike but gets quite tiring towards the rough final ascent. Just a point, your view up Glen Rosa to the pyramid shaped mountain is actually Cir Mhor with the A' Chir ridge behind. Goat Fell is visible on the far right of your shot.
Great video Adam. Arran has so many fantastic photo opportunities but unfortunately not always the weather to easily exploit them. You did exceptionally well to get what you did - I wish I could do that in these conditions, but lessons learned from you ! PS thanks for the sales pitch for my ancestral home island and I should add that it is so easily and inexpensively reachable at less than an hour on the ferry from the mainland.
Great video Adam. How did you get the snap focus in the woods shooting solo? Was that in post? Hope we can make it to Scottland. What a beautiful landscape destination!
That's real focus. Its the beauty of the dual pixel auto focus on the Canon cameras. Focused on the tree and as the slider moved away from the tree it pulled focus on to me.
Great video. I love your enthusiasm for your photography. My next adventure is having a trip home to Scotland and hopefully getting some snow, living in the Middle East you get fed up of sand.
I have a developing interest in cinematography and photography and have been using my Samsung S9 for 1080p 60fps but want to get a DSLR. I know I want a Canon for autofocus and colouring but not sure what to get. Canon 80D would be stretching my budget to say the least... but I feel like it would be a good investment. Is there a cheaper alternative that has all the same functionality and near enough the same quality?
Great video, Hands up, live not that far from Arran but never visited .... that will change ..... I suggest you look into the Hebridean Way ... 150 miles but medium intensity ... 4 Islands ...but what potential ....
Yet another great video, thoroughly enjoyed all of the landscapes! You’re videos inspired me to get into photography so thank you!! Just a quick question: (I’m a beginner amateur photographer) and wondered why you used a 2 minute exposure in the first picture and not a 4 minute as my lee filter exposure calculator tells me? Thanks😊
Very Nice Adam you are now on my door step. I live in largs just up the road from Ardrossan. You could say I have photographed it to death in every weather and every condition imaginable so I count myself lucky. Were also lucky in that we have the full range of mountains (sleeping Warrior) which gives us brilliant sunsets as well through out the year. Smashing vlog!
Hi Adam if you think Arran is good you should go to the top of Scotland and see some real landscapes. On the road to Durness is just amazing. Doing the north coast 500 is a great route to see almost everything
Thank you Adam for this video. Isn't it the same Arran Islands which inspired J.M Synge to write his famous one act play, The Riders to the Sea? That has been such a favourite of mine right from my college days. Charles Kingsley's poem says: But men must work, and women must weep, Though storms be sudden, and waters deep, And the harbour bar be moaning. Your video made me relive those lines and the text as well, especially, the last two images
Hi Adam. Another excellent video. Interested to know the make of your ND filters. Getting back into landscapes and have had some issues with colour casts previously. I don't want to waste money on bad filters.
Whoa, so weird to see you in my neck of the woods! Arran is excellent, it can be super easy to shoot & it can be extremely challenging too.. Glen Rosa, with its yellowy ochre tonal range is pretty hard to make work without the right conditions. PS, Goatfell is the thick slope on the right, not the jagged peak :)
Adam we have a saying over in Ardrossan, if you can’t see Arran it’s raining, if you can see Arran it’s going to rain. You should have hit up Peter Ribbeck Photography, or Glenn Sloss photography. They would have taken you to the good spots. Did you go to the Buddhist temple on holy isle just off lamlash bay?
I love Scotland but it's been about 15 years since I last visited unfortunately. I need to make the effort to go. Also in windy conditions you would do yourself a lot of favours by using an L-bracket. Your camera will be more stable on the tripod. Great video as always
What wonderful words you put on the final of this video,.".pushing through the unknown has a name and it's called an adventure." truly, inspiring. GREAT JOB!
good show again Adam, thanks for taking us along once again. cheers.
that riven with mountain shot was really cool
I had a holiday in Arron 30 years ago, looks like it’s still raining!
Great production!! 👏🏻👌🏻🎥🏔🎬📸🎞🐂
That river looks awesome and great shots of it.
That was fantastic light to reward your hard work and craft.
Another great tutorial! I particularly enjoyed this one as I visit the beautiful Isle of Arran often. If any of you have never had the pleasure I can not recommend it highly enough. The west coast sunsets during the summer are simply incredible!

AS usual Adam a great video. Your a pleasure to listen to. Great photographs as well. Thank you Adam
Great episode Adam, that place looks incredible, and those timelapses (especially the last one) were fantastic!
Thanks Brent. Really appreciate that. That last time lapse was a lucky break actually. Had already packed up when the colour hit but managed to get set up again quickly.
I am a subscriber of brent hall. I am just reading comment and i found your comment here. Love your videos brent hall.
Like your landscape photography videos. I learned a lot from them. Thank you so much.

Thanks for these videos . You're amazing ;)
Great video Adam and truly inspirational. I’m off to book my trip to Scotland now, amazing!
Gosh Adam my jaws just fell... The first sunset shot feels like the shores of Valhalla... Your skills are amazing!
Great Blog as usual Adam, I prefer the second shot of the waterfall and I must say there were some fantastic colours in the sky on your last shots great to watch looking forward to the next one... Until next time
I love your location videos. they always make me want to revisit the UK.
Thanks for another inspiring video Adam. And I really enjoy the writing at the end. I know how much work this is so thank you. I always look forward to your next video.
Watched a lot of your videos over the last few days, loving the positive vibe, and the images of course. Great stuff!
Thanks Russell. Really appreciate your time.
Very inspirational piece, and what you’ve done with your fitness, as seen from the screen, is equally inspirational.
Thanks mate. The fitness is definitely coming along.
Great episode Adam and thank you for sharing it is well worth the effort you put in. I am looking forward to seeing the next vlog and my adventure to Eriskay later this year.

Goat fell is to the right of your shot. Super stuff. Hope you managed to try some of Arran’s flavourful produce.
Thanks. Sadly I can't update the video but I've definitely learned my lesson about naming places and mountains when I'm not entirely sure.
Well done Adam, Always enjoy watching your videos !
Great to see you on Arran, Adam. I’ve learned lots about landscape photography from your videos, so even better to see you cover an area where I live. You’ve given me a boost of inspiration and I’m sure to others too. Great work!
Incredible shots Adam what a great place!!
Awesome timelapse at the end! Great Video.

My next adventure will also take place in Scotland, on the Isle of Islay! :-) Have a nice week
Great video!! I really appreciate your explanation of the settings you use on each image.Thanks!!
I agree with Brent not only on the nice timelapse at the end. Thanks for sharing Adam! :-)
Brilliant video Adam and a brilliant island (and people) too. Let me know if you ever need a bag carrier.
Thanks mate. I'd definitely like to get up those mountains at some point. I still want to go up Pen Y Fan in the snow too. Maybe we can make it happen this year?

Thanx Adam! Again very inspiring video...👌
Mate this is fantastic. The production is professional and I know how much work you put into making these episodes. I was sad I couldn’t join you on this trip but you’ve made it feel like I was with you 🤝
That means a lot Thanks. The January Scotland trip was lonely without you. Looking forward to our next trip though. X
I have been there and its such a beautiful place. Great video
another nice upload Adam, we just got more snow in Scotland last night,.... Glencoe mate.....

Beautiful shots once again mate! Wowzers the islands life looks tough lol
Excellent work as always Adam. That scene at the end was stunning ☺
Good vlog, I,m surprised it's not covered in snow, like the images....martin
Nice to see you up in Scotland Adam. I really liked your portrait shot on the river and the first shot you showed of the sunset. Your end screen is very true and summarised the work involved in the vlogs well 👍🏻
Thanks Wayne. The portrait river shot was definitely my favourite.

So inspiring particularly since I'm planning for a one week trip to Lewis and Harris this summer.

Sorry if I missed it but what part of Scotland are you in and what bag is that?
Great upload mate... thanks
Thanks John.
I come for the photography, I stay for the timelapses! Good on ya Adam.
Adam,
Sweet shots of the stream and catching that sunset light quality was a great finish!
Hey, bud, your face is thinner. The work-out/health regimen looks to be working a treat.
Thank-You,
Mike
14:47 really had me so TRUE bro
Great video. Where's the Glen and the stream exactly? I'm going to Arran in September.
Hi Adam, Arran is a lovely island with plenty of photographic opportunities. Goat Fell is well worth the hike but gets quite tiring towards the rough final ascent. Just a point, your view up Glen Rosa to the pyramid shaped mountain is actually Cir Mhor with the A' Chir ridge behind. Goat Fell is visible on the far right of your shot.
Beautiful sunset, well worth the chase :-)
For the river, I think the vertical is a more powerful composition
Yeah I agree. That was definitely my favourite of the day.
Great video Adam. Arran has so many fantastic photo opportunities but unfortunately not always the weather to easily exploit them. You did exceptionally well to get what you did - I wish I could do that in these conditions, but lessons learned from you ! PS thanks for the sales pitch for my ancestral home island and I should add that it is so easily and inexpensively reachable at less than an hour on the ferry from the mainland.
Totally agree. It seems a world away but it's not. Left on the 1800hrs ferry. Home in Leeds at 2330hrs. Easy.
Adam, very nice ..
It looks like you start the new year with the right foot ...:))))
Great stuff and nice to see you up in my neck of the woods. Atb
Cheers mate.
I have a trip already planned for the year-end way up into the highlands.
Great video Adam. How did you get the snap focus in the woods shooting solo? Was that in post? Hope we can make it to Scottland. What a beautiful landscape destination!
That's real focus. Its the beauty of the dual pixel auto focus on the Canon cameras. Focused on the tree and as the slider moved away from the tree it pulled focus on to me.
Great video. I love your enthusiasm for your photography. My next adventure is having a trip home to Scotland and hopefully getting some snow, living in the Middle East you get fed up of sand.
I have a developing interest in cinematography and photography and have been using my Samsung S9 for 1080p 60fps but want to get a DSLR. I know I want a Canon for autofocus and colouring but not sure what to get. Canon 80D would be stretching my budget to say the least... but I feel like it would be a good investment. Is there a cheaper alternative that has all the same functionality and near enough the same quality?
great vid - really enjoyed it! you should come up to Scotland more often
Another awesome video Adam
Nice one Adam 👍👏👏

Hi Adam if you think Arran is good you should go to the top of Scotland and see some real landscapes. On the road to Durness is just amazing. Doing the north coast 500 is a great route to see almost everything

Your video made me relive those lines and the text as well, especially, the last two images
Hi Adam. Another excellent video. Interested to know the make of your ND filters. Getting back into landscapes and have had some issues with colour casts previously. I don't want to waste money on bad filters.
I use B&W in this video. They do create a colour cast. I also use Formatt Hitech Firecrest which is perfect.
Whoa, so weird to see you in my neck of the woods! Arran is excellent, it can be super easy to shoot & it can be extremely challenging too.. Glen Rosa, with its yellowy ochre tonal range is pretty hard to make work without the right conditions.
PS, Goatfell is the thick slope on the right, not the jagged peak :)
Great work as ever adam.I absolutely love your videos. Can you please share the link of the music you've used
It's a composer called Dan Phillipson. Just search for him on Premium Beat.
Adam we have a saying over in Ardrossan, if you can’t see Arran it’s raining, if you can see Arran it’s going to rain. You should have hit up Peter Ribbeck Photography, or Glenn Sloss photography. They would have taken you to the good spots. Did you go to the Buddhist temple on holy isle just off lamlash bay?
I love Scotland but it's been about 15 years since I last visited unfortunately. I need to make the effort to go. Also in windy conditions you would do yourself a lot of favours by using an L-bracket. Your camera will be more stable on the tripod. Great video as always
What camera do you use?
Nice one Adam, the Ferry port at Ardrossan is literally minutes from me, glad you enjoyed Arran it is a wonderful Island.
