@@louisewelcomephotography I was wondering what midges was 🤔 I was thinking if it was the same as "knott" as we have in Sweden, but they don't look the same on images. I wonder if we have them too 😅
Small bites flies (really small) that are very light weight. They get caught in your hair, around your face, backs of hands etc... They bite and are so small that they feel like you are being bitten in waves. Really bad around sunset and sunrise especially and they are in their 1000s at times. I got off lightly. They are so light weight that a good breeze makes it very difficult for them. Scotland is notorious for them between mid May until end Sept if you are unlucky. Do you have similar?
@@louisewelcomephotography Oh, ouch doesn't sound pleasent at all haha. Well It does sound like "knott" but they don't look all too similar on images though but maybe they are related somehow 🤷♂
Thanks for the special mention Louise 😊🙃 Your footage of Arran and especially Glen Rosa is mesmerising, it looks like you loved Arran as much as we did! Great memories Thanks again, Nona & Corina 💞 PS next time check out King's Caves so gorgeous
Hi Nona, you made my Glen Rosa time very pleasant… thank you. Now, the final location with the dramatic rock is approx 1km south of the caves, we could see them from where we stood 👍. Doesn’t exactly count does it? 😉
Comp sitter here Louise, even for a few moments; enjoying your shared splash of swooshery. Thanks for the heads up; I can't say my tripod has grown roots yet, but I'll keep an eye open for the first signs. Another great video Louise. I've come to understand the amount of work this takes. Thanks for sharing. Great b-roll and shots. Thanks to YT for saving my place in the video so I could pickup where I left off some days ago. Want to keep busy, you say? Careful what you wish for; you're liable to get it. Cheers.
Really enjoy going on your adventures with you. Especially when they involve waterfalls and swirly water stuff. Fabulous images. Oh, and I love your commentary as well. 😄
Great video Louise! I used to go to Arran every year to climb Goatfell and shoot Glen Rosa. Sadly I've not been since 2017, but your video has just convinced me to get back over asap! Great work!
Ha, totally agree re the water. I think that oi have picked up that phrase from Shona Perkins as I remember smiling when she said it. Thank you Nick I appreciate the feedback 👍.
OOOFT! What a trip to the Isle of Arran! Stunning images throughout. You certainly covered a lot of ground. I loved the shot of the water cascade (without the tripod): another great vlog, Louise. Please keep them coming!
Ugh, just looked it up and we spent some time sitting and looking over to Largs without knowing it. Paul, learning all the time. The whole area is pretty splendid. Thank you for the feedback, really appreciated 👍
Looks a lovely place to visit. Great video again. We are up to Fort William and the Isle of Skye in August. Sooo looking forward to new places with the camera
great video Louise, I know Dalcairney Falls quite well and it is a challenging location composition wise and good timing with the water levels too as it can dry up quite a bit meaning the falls dimish quite a bit. Arran was one of the places I was responsible for when I was in the Fire Service and always enjoyed any opportunity to visit there but those midges are a menace🙂. We used Skin So Soft when dealing with wildland fires but no sure how effective it is these days
Hey Scotty, really interesting. Dalcairney was lovely and I agree re the flow… v lucky. I’m told that skin so soft may have sold its formula to Smidge but that may be rumour. It certainly seemed the more effective of the two from my highly unscientific study of 6 usages. 😉 good to hear from you sir 👍
Louise The island looks gorgeous so lush and green I have no comparison other than Catlina Island 25 miles off the California coast and I have hiked and photographed most of the island. The island is owned by the Wrigley family ( chewing gum ) and put into a conservancy in fact they have a winery and a mausoleum for one of the Wrigleys on the island I am back home after open heart surgery and recovering it will take me some time before I can get out and hike again
Ohhh, I am so pleased you are home and hope that your recovery goes well. I look forward to the time you say you’ve done your first mini hike in the future. I don’t know about Catlina island and will look it up. There are so many interesting places to learn about. Get well, keep safe please 🙏
Nope, because I hardly ever use a tripod. You know your camera/lens set up has image stabilization and VR, trust it. Sure, you can only go SO slow on shutter speed, but shooting hand held allows you so much more mobility!
The old tripod can be a bit of a crutch I confess… and when I do my IR it’s totally hand held and really freeing. I do tend to shake though with heavier lenses or ‘wave around like a loon’ to quote my husband. Hmm mental note: brave it more Welcome. Cheers Lisa 👍
Thank you Louise (and hubby). Your content, delivery style and images are great 🙏
Ah, thanks Chris. Really appreciated 👍
Lovely as per usual, Louise! The photo at 5:00 has something really nice to it, really like it!
Thanks Jimmy, that was my favourite too and the light was fleeting. Those midges were just feasting around my eyes. Hugely appreciated 👍

Hi Dana, that made me laugh. Thanks for the feedback lovely. I love that TH-cam saves places. Very useful. Busy is good… normally 😉
@@louisewelcomephotography He/him though still lovely😜 Cheers
@@DanaPushie doh. Apologies… typed too fast! Sorry.

Thank you Susan. I appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoy coming along too. 👍
Lots of great swirly water stuff. Thanks for the video!
You are most welcome 🙏
Really enjoyable Louise. Used to visit as a child and brought back some lovely memories thank you. X
Thank you Alison. There are so many gems around just waiting to be discovered. X
Excellent! Love the running commentary, humorous and informative.
@@alandargie9358 thank you Alan. The running commentary is a bit marmite 😜. Thanks for the feedback.

Oh John, it was such a lovely surprise. Thanks for the feedback. I hope you do go back sir 👍
Nice video Louise, you definitely made the most of the various conditions you had, and you can't beat a bit of swooshery.

Thanks Paul! It was a great surprise just how lovely it was. I still had hundreds of photos of the same spots though… just more of them 🙈😂.
Awesome Louise, so cool to see my old neck of the woods 😊 if you'd traveled around 20miles further north you have come into my old home town of Largs.
Ugh, just looked it up and we spent some time sitting and looking over to Largs without knowing it. Paul, learning all the time. The whole area is pretty splendid. Thank you for the feedback, really appreciated 👍
Looks a lovely place to visit. Great video again.
We are up to Fort William and the Isle of Skye in August. Sooo looking forward to new places with the camera
Ohhhh enjoy every minute. It’s a cracking place. A tad envious. Have fun 🤩

That made me chuckle Brian. Thank you 😂
