I'd be interested to know who would like to see a follow up video where I show how I edited the images in this video?
I would definitely be interested in such a video-both in terms of how you blended images to overcome some of the challenges and also how you manage color. You produce such rich tones and textures, drawing out elements which are not so evident in the videos. I really love the effect.
Thanks James. I'll try to put one together before next week's video go's out!
I would be interested as I love the colour definition you get. Also always learn something new from how people process image. Good video again. Thanks.
I would be interested in seeing how you blended the images.
Beautiful images accompanied by lovely music. More than up to your standards.
Thank you! :)
We all know how good our Greens are for us John and these were very Lush, I did like your darker contrasty process emphasising the highlighted Greens.
The Light is always a problem with Rivers and Waterfalls, it was very similar a few days ago up at the Birks of Aberfeldy, the trees and the Greens are Beautiful this year.
Thanks Douglas! I almost headed to the Birks the other day there too. Hope to get back there in the next month or two!
John would be interested in the follow up video on the processing I’m still trying to reach average standard 😀
Wow, that has got really overgrown since the last time I was there - even then, I was frustrated by the foliage. Some nice shots from further downstream though. It's very much a location for a wet November day though, I think.
Legend has it that the pool beneath the waterfall is home to a water-elf named Uris-chidh, who lures victims to their death, so I'm glad that you managed to resist that.
I have no idea what that building would have been. I would hazard a guess at an ice house, but it has a look of a wartime utility building about it.
Thanks! Yeh I remember it being a lot less overgrown on my last visit but when I checked some of images from the last trip it was early December 2017, so there were a lot less leaves.
I didn't know about the water-elf! Wish I'd known about that at the time. I love all that stuff.
Cracking video again John enjoy the darker tones 👍👍
Thanks mate!
I do love my waterfalls so this was a delight to watch even if the the cauldron ended up being bit disappointing. Thanks for sharing John 👍
Thanks Garry!
Would love to see how you edit your photos.
Great compositions, a bugger to shoot due to contrast. Easier in the winter.
No mention on Canmore of that construction but I'd be 99% sure it was an icehouse. There's a near identical one about a kilometer WNW of Buchanan Castle, lost in the undergrowth of a minor path, just south of High Mains.
I never thought of an icehouse! They're usually a bit deeper and more insulated. Great stuff. Thanks!
@@JohnMcKennaPhotography The one south of High Mains is 19th century, brick lined with a drop shaft of about ten feet in the middle of it, just wide enough to send a peasant down on a rope. Don't wander in without a torch, its deadly.

Thanks!
Another great video - I especially love the one at the 12:05 marker where you avoided the polarizer so you could see through the water surface - that had some fabulous green tones in the water. Would love to see how you merge multiple photos with such a range of different exposures and shutter speeds into a single image.
Thanks! I'm going to do a processing video on one or two of the images very soon!
I really enjoyed the way you talked us through the images and the challenges each shot posed because of the differing elements: leaf movement, shadow, direct light, effects you wanted to see from the water, etc. You gave me a lot of things to think about. I’m curious about the place of the Devil in naming this location and the Devil’s Pulpit. Are there other “devilish” place names in Scotland? Is there any story behind these names? Did you do a previous video on the Devil’s Cauldron? The view seemed similar to something I have seen before. Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks James! I hadn't shot the Devils Cauldron for a few years. I think the last visit was before I started this TH-cam channel so I wouldn't have shared that trip online anywhere.
I'm not sure about why we have so many "devil's" in Scottish place names. There are quite a few though! There's a "Devil's Staircase" in Glencoe which got it's name from the workmen who had to negotiate the steep climb every night after a few beers in the local Inn! There's also a "Devil's Beeftub" down by the border with England and that's where cattle raiders hid their stolen cattle. I think the "Devil's Pulpit" came from early Christian missionary's who wanted to tarnish the reputation of the Druids who used the area before the arrival of Christianity, but no idea about how the Cauldron got it's name.... hmmm... might be a video in there somewhere!
I think you can blame the Presbyterians for seeing the hand o' the deil in a lot of nature's work ... I am joking ... well, sort of 😁
@@iainmc9859 Another TH-camr (blanking on his channel) did a video on Scotland’s suppression of Christmas, so there could be some connection between that sensibility and associating places in nature with the devil. Would love to know if there are any stories or legends associated with the naming of those places, though.
@@JohnMcKennaPhotographyThere is also the Devil's Point in the Cairngorms, a staid, English translation of it's original Gaelic name, Bod an Deamhain, which means The Devil's Penis.
