This week me and my cameras are in the highlands of Scotland taking photos in Glencoe. I take in the cottages, Buachaille Etive Mòr, Kilchurn, Stalker and Glencoe Lochan in my quest to get 10 landscape photos. I also get eaten by midges...

And top tip - don't go to Scotland without midges spray! :)
That tip applies to Norway as well 😉
And Iceland 😉
Thank you for the 1 month free
I like that little change of showing unedited to edited transitions on the photos
Awesome! Thought it might be interesting :)
Yes! Loving that as well! I know that Adam Gibbs does the same thing, and it really puts into perspective what the images are supposed to look like straight from camera, vs the amount of effort put into processing.
A video of the processing would be great as well! What a difference.
Yes, that is really interesting to see
Second that awesome transitions and video editing too.
I love that you show the before/after images. It’s very useful as I learn to edit.
That’s awesome to hear! I’ll keep doing it then 😃
I think the before/post photos are a GREAT idea too! It's encouraging to see how a photo can gain some pop post production.
Sometimes I can't believe that you actually do this for a living. It's awesome.
Me too my friend, me too! I’m still expecting it to all come tumbling down at some point! 😂
@@JamesPopsysPhoto nah it won't probably..., hopefully
I can't believe I closed a business and opted to do this for a living.... I am staggered that anyone can make a living at it but it's early days for moi. Maybe one day.
Finally a TH-cam photographer who doesn't use a tripod! I feel validated for the first time! The freedom of shooting without a tripod is quite liberating. Cheers!!
It's a Saturday ritual now:
Wake up with coffee and James' latest video. This series is excellent. 👍
Thanks so much 😃
Same but with Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea. Haha
Same here. Today he didn't get into any trouble. No miss adventures.
I could fall asleep to this guys videos, they’re so chill
Proud owner here of a signed print of that classic white cottage (at the 11:53 mark). It's one of my favourite photo purchases; I had it framed and matted under museum quality glass. Only the finest would do for a real James Popsys original. Fun video with your return to the site - this time with your new Sony gear. Keep up the great work.
Always great to see Glencoe
What a beautiful location.
I'll 146th the sentiment that the photo editing transition is awesome!
Thanks! 😃
What a fantastic opening shot!
What a fabulous place to take photos. thanks for sharing
You have a snowman on your socks (9;26) in the summer? Good lad! Exactly what I did yesterday!
That’s the trouble when you get dressed in the dark after 3 hours sleep 😂
@@JamesPopsysPhoto Yes that's my excuse too but unfortunately I don't get up at 4am every morning for photography!!
Scotland is 🔥🤩
That jetty at c. 07'00 reminds me of a friend's wedding I went to in that castle. We were told to bring wellies for egress on the far side but since I didn't have any, I waded out in my kilt. 😮
Love this series, keep them coming. The unedited/ edited are a great way to see how you interpret the scenes.
Fabulous photographs Sir an absolute treat to watch , and speaking of watches anyone who wares a Casio is an okay 👌 dude 👍 Tam.
Stunning!
Really enjoying the ten shot series, and like the new pre/post wipes 👍
Cheers Mike, great to hear! 😃
Ahh Scotland. So beautiful. And so are your photos. Love the castle framed by the branches, but all are so amazing.
Cheers Paul! 😃
So nice a way for us to start a Saturday morning! Thanks and peace
Awesome to hear, thanks Paul :)
Ooooh Scotland is fracking beautiful
It really is :)
Really liking your new episodes. My 18 year old daughter who isn’t into photography much loves to watch with me. I asked her why she likes it and she responded by saying...I think James is funny and loves the places you shoot at. - South Carolina, USA.
Thanks so much, so nice to hear 😃
I don't usually comment on videos but I gotta say I've been loving this 10 photos series. Thank you.
Awesome - thank you!
James, this is an amazing series. Thank you for this video series and your channel. We liked and subscribed. My wife and I are retired photographers/videographers who travel extensively. We've planned a two month trip to Scotland, England and Wales later this year. Your videos are inspirational, and helping us with our own YT content. Please keep up the good work! Any suggestions for a few stops in England, Wales or Scotland to photograph nature in Scotland--particularly less-travelled areas.
Yes! Finally - James makes a video from a place I have actually visited! It’s a long way from South Carolina to Glencoe.
Loving those trips👍Thank You for taking us along
And thanks for watching :)
Some great shots 👌🏻
Yup, deffo great little project, love your photos James and of course your videos? Always a joy to watch 👍
Thanks David 👍🏻😃
That video just made me push the bell to fast see more.
Great video as usual. Love the filter application ( i WILL get these)... But my little highlight was your Casio W86. I'm a budget CASIO fan and love the simplicity of the illuminator..
Love Scotland, loved the 'foliage' shot of the castle and the creek and the cottage shot.
Great video. Such a good area.
Nice video. I admit to being one of those people who just doesn’t understand why you turn a green early summer scene into autumn shades of brown. It’s a personal thing of course. Love your vids but not your colour choices. Keep it up pal👍
Thanks mate! Like all photos I accept they’re not everyone’s taste 👍🏻😃
It would be great to see jpeg straight out of the camera compared to raw and raw edited
I rather like the fact that you transform some greens to warmer colors. For me, too much green is redundant and borders on boring. The introduction of different shades can give an image a more complex and interesting feel.
Excellent James. Scotland is beautiful. It's on my bucket list for sure!
Thanks Sara, fully deserving of its place for sure :)
Enjoying this "10 pictures from" lark, very entertaining James.
Great work thanks
Great work James, I love your non pretentious style. Not to mention that your skill with lightroom sliders flies in the face of the "norm". Like everybode else here I very much like the before/after shots. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much 😃
Good one James
Loving all the "10 Photos from...", but this is my favourite so far. Thank you.
I really enjoy this series and the transision from raw to edited is very pleasing.
Another beautiful location, (social distancing done right). Another great set of photos. I really like seeing the pre and post edits too, nice touch. 👍
Cheers Paul! 😃
Lucky to live close to some of most spectacular scenic areas in the world. I also appreciate seeing the unededited shots.
Keep up the great work!
Have you ever visiting Northern Isles?
I really like the before and after looks. Beautiful pictures.
I quite enjoy this series... especially the before/after views of the compositions. Thanks!
Loving the shots of Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh at around the 8 minute mark. Hope you weren't taunted by any French guards!
Great trip and photos James. The part with the blue hour reflection photo from the mountain where you go: “o no one can mess this one up” was really funny.
Great pictures so far, and best episode so far. A great location does help and knowing how to use it, even more so.
SCOTLAND !!!!!
At 8:40 a long exposure would have been awesome with the truck trail lights :D
Really enjoyed the video. Love your style, makes the viewer feel like they are along for the journey with you
Thanks for the tip on Photo Pill - had never heard of that & it looks really handy!
I always enjoy your dry self deprecating sense of humour in your videos. You do take great landscape photos, especially your choices in composition. I saw you pd travel tripod frequently in todays video but you were never using it to take a photo. I myself have the same carbon fiber model and find it great to take steady shots. Recently bought a carbon fiber gimbal to use with it and a monopod, when my camera and lens are balanced properly it's a beautiful experience being able to freely swing the camera to almost any inclination and azimuth instantly to get the shot I want. I bought the monopod for situations that a tripod is impractical to get the footing. The monopod is actually a video monopod, where you can take the head off the collapsible shaft and the shaft off the tiny tripod heads and put the head on the tripod feet to make a tiny tripod. Put a ball head on that and you've got a great mini tripod. Give that I can extend the monopod to 71" high, I can get some unique shooting angles, that I can't necessarily get steady shots from. I can also use the monopod as a boom arm for a video mic.
Great video James.....absolutely stunning landscape.👍
Scotland is so beautiful! Someday I will have to go there myself! You got great pictures, I'm looking forward to the other videos from Glencoe!
You just can't have enough Mountain Peaks! Another great video looking forward to the followups.
Great location and lovely images James. I enjoy your style very much, keep it coming.
Cheers Nigel :)
Those colors are awesome, beautiful work as always. Very inspired from your idea about the 10 photos from a specific location!
So nice to hear, thank you 😃
Fantastic video, probably my favourite so far! Love the before and after edit images too, they really add to it! Keep doing what you do best! Looking forward to more of your Scottish videos!
Oops, just realised it's from 3 months ago - there was me thinking it was the most recent! Off to watch the other Scottish ones now ha!
Enjoying the 10 from series James. Looking forward to to seeing the next instalment.
great looking presets James
Cheers Paul! 😃
0:43 My volume was 100% (laptop speaker) and I couldn't hear a word this man was mumbling in his infinite wisdom xD
My bad!
Epic drone shots, stunning scenery, amazing light and a man with an S5 (and a great eye).... = great video. Cheers James!
I've been to Scotland a bunch (my wife is from there) but I've never been to Glencoe ... I should fix that! You don't do a lot of drone shots but the ones you do are cracking!! I hope you make/made it up to Assynt it is lovely up there!! Now I'm off to the 'gram! 😁
Amazing scenery and as many others have commented; really interesting to see the out of camera shots and final edited images.
Keep up the amazing work James.
Thanks James your videos always brighten my day! Great shots, I appreciate your talents.
Thanks so much Cindy 😃
Loving these 10 Photo's from series. Great images.
Hi James, thanks for a great video again! Makes my day light up, your humour is just, I don't know how to say this, thank you so much. By the way, I know that I am a cranky old cow, but please reduce the white frame around your stills a little? I get blinded by the frame and have to rewind (yes, I MCs are still in my spine) and stopp to see your lovely photo. All the best from WA. Annie
New subscriber and photographer here. I love your photos, locations, and amazing wit! Looking forward to watching your videos as I learn the craft. Keep up the great work! 👍
I had to stop and look at 0:16 for a little bit. What a beautiful shot!!
Ooooh! The disappearing car trick at 5:40 was great! I didn't know that you are also a magician.
And I envy your access to such great scenery. Nice photos (but I'd like more green in post-processing).
As others have said...Saturday morning tradition--you, me, coffee.
Currently living my best live in New Zealand. Looks like my visa is expiring soon. Lovely to see I can find scenery just as stunning a little closer to home.
Nice video as always James, it’s a fantastic area. Just for future reference when/if you’re back at Loch Awe, Kilchurn is pronounced Kil-hoorn. I’m a 53 y.o. Scot and despite having photographed it a few times, I only found that out a couple of years ago when corrected by a friend.
Great video, really loving this series. Especially the before and after with the edit. Beautiful spot you went to. Another spot added to places I’d like to visit
The castle scene with lake reminds me of The Highlander movie
Do you think you could put a little montage of your ten photos at the end card? I just think that would be cool. Enjoying this series!
Fantastic series James, Scotland looked beautiful. I see you have a new car Audi Q3? ready for the baby! All the watch enthused people will love you for wearing a Casio watch! Keep up with the great work.
Really enjoying this new series James, looking forward to the next 2 Scotland episodes 😁
I need to just get it together and drive up to Scotland.
Beautiful shots James, you’ve inspired me this morning.
as usual , you never failed to amused me . thats it
Great video James. i live in Scotland been to Glencoe a number of times and still enjoyed your video !
Nice video James, particularly as we were there last week too. BEM is such an iconic mountain and Glencoe Lochan (timber jetty scenes) although man-made is such a restful place.
Went to Colorado for my first photography-centric trip this past week. Had a couple people ask me about the Peak Design clip I was using. It was really convenient for hiking around mountains, so thanks for the recc.
Travelling along the same road next week en route to Orkney for a week, stunning scenery and will keep an eye out for spots you were at 👍🏔
beautiful area, loved the castle pics
Really enjoying this series, really inspiring!
Absolutely loved this video mate! It’s such a stunning place and you certainly did it justice 😊
Thanks buddy! ❤️
Love the video and the series! We happen to be heading to Glencoe this weekend, the I'm taking all the inspiration.
Ha ha. Had to smile to myself- I am literally in the middle of doing a watercolour painting of that cottage at 9-11, from a photo taken a couple of years ago from exactly the same spot!
We had a lovely drive along the A82 in 2017 , id give anything to go back
Loving this series and also the edits on those shots.
Heading up to this area in late January, thanks for scouting! I was excited already but this video has got me hyped.
What the heck is up with those sunrise times though? 3:45am and light enough to handhold shots?! What time of year was this? It doesn't look like summer...
4:30am is my cut-off for getting up early - any earlier than that and I'd rather stay up the night before. 😅
Nice
for some reason I'm usually not the biggest fan of your edits, but these were awesome!
i liked colors in unedited pictures
@7:00 ahh castle Aaaaaarghhhhh
I’m loving this series James 👍. I liked how you showed the before and afters in this video. I’d definitely like to see that continued in the future videos.
I’ll have to make it up to Scotland at some point, it looks incredible for photos.
Enjoying a week in Conwy starting today so hopefully I’ll get some nice photos. I wish the sun would come out though. A beer in the cold just isn’t quite the same…
Cheers Rob! Enjoy your time here, forecast looks great for tomorrow 👍🏻
Used to spend a 1/3rd ofmy life in Glencoe in my climbing day,s. The Lost Valley is a special place, not many image,s from their. Must make the effort, good V,log James.
Loving this series James, shots from this one were lovely indeed 👌
