Lovely shots John. Cracking conditions. Well done for getting rid of the messy foreground. And its a nice wee massage to the ego when someone recognises you 😅 By the way, the correct pronunciation of Loch Chon is with a hard Scottish "ch", the same sound as the "ch" in "loch".
Thanks Dougie. haha - aye I think I bored everyone I met for the next few days about being recognised! I always assumed it was pronounced more like the word for dog, so closer to "Shane". I need to work on my Gaelic, or as Billy Connolly once said, "I really need to brush up ma Erse!"
Gorgeous conditions, John. Lovely contrasty shots with the darker background emphasising the beautifully lit trees. My Son and I got similar conditions at Cornish Hill in Galloway a few days ago. The Hoar frost is jewel-like on the grasses. Did your Fans get you in a selfie?
the conditions were incredible. I've not shot Cornish Hill before. I was planning a trip to Wood of Cree further south in the Galloway forest soon though. Have you been? haha - no selfies were taken!
@@JohnMcKennaPhotography Hi John, I have been quite often, It is another brilliant spot for Bluebells, I usually go nearby to the Glentrool area which is just magical in the right conditions, colours, Burns tumbling from the Hills, Autumn colour, it has it all.
@@douglasritchie2836 Thanks! I've been to Glentrool a few times but not to Wood of Cree. Hoping to get along before the end of the year. I'll make a point of going back in bluebell season though!
Another wonderful video! Loved the softly orange light in the beginning. It looks like you had a great morning (if chilly) to be out shooting. Thank you! Jim.
I hadn't thought of a beaver! There were a few spread out through the woods, do they move in groups like that? (I've no idea!) I could definitely smell goats and I'm seen feral goats in that area before which is why I assumed that's what it was
thanks Malcolm. It could well have been beavers! I couldn't get over to investigate due to the boggy, ice-covered streams between me and the peninsula. If I manage back anytime soon I'll keep an eye out for any obvious gnawing on the trees
Beautiful video John....I was wondering how the image at 3:31 would look if you cropped it from the top just leaving the reflection to give it an abstract look.... could even try to invert it 180deg for an alternative feel😊
OK... I now hate you. That light - where did you buy it from? I thought Scotland was supposed to be dank and dark but, down-here, in Southern England, we've had almost 2.5 years of dark-grey skies (and torrential rain) with few respites and nowt like in the (apparently) wonderful Trossachs, some 700-ish miles north. I think I'll move. Nonetheless, despite that considerable advantage, you have shot a set of absolutely fabulous images. Very well done; much appreciated. PS, of course I don't hate you at all - but don't do it again! :) All the best - Cheers.

Brilliant film mate some fantastic images too. Love these types of mornings 👍👍
Cheers, Simon! Aye it was a cracking morning. Just needed a bit of mist!

Thanks Jim. Yeh, it was a lovely morning!
Beautiful images.You really used the beautiful light and conditions.
Thanks!
Possibly a beaver making the noise john!!

Spot on with the identification John I've seen feral goats here on 3 or 4 occasions . Fantastic video and images of this beautiful area.
Thank you! Ah, I was sure I could smell goats, but couldn't see any so I was starting to doubt myself!
Being an American I can’t understand a word you say but you images speak volumes, great images
@@jamesbarnes3063 being Scottish I've no idea what you said either, but thank you!
Hi John your photos are amazing it is a pleasure you share them with us. That noise is not a big foot is it
Thanks! I hope not!
Wow what a day John just beautiful and some great shots I thought it might be beavers chomping in the woods.
thanks Malcolm. It could well have been beavers! I couldn't get over to investigate due to the boggy, ice-covered streams between me and the peninsula. If I manage back anytime soon I'll keep an eye out for any obvious gnawing on the trees
Yea I think it’s easy to tell by the gnawing😀 But it was a great day with some winning shots.
Fantastic images, John
Thanks Sabu! Lovely to meet you both!
What a fantastic morning for photography and some great shots to boot , wonderful stuff
Thanks Jeff! Yeh, it was lovely
Beautiful conditions. Great shots. Did the ego boost warm you up more than the hot chocolate 😊
It was Bovril - and it was probably 50/50 but it was close!
Beautiful video John....I was wondering how the image at 3:31 would look if you cropped it from the top just leaving the reflection to give it an abstract look.... could even try to invert it 180deg for an alternative feel😊
thanks! I'll try both suggestions out and share them in this month's Newsletter!
My pleasure @@JohnMcKennaPhotography
Another great video John, and so nice that you were recognised by other photographers and fans of the channel.
thanks! Aye that was a little odd, but, made my day!
Great video and conditions 👍🙂
@@stigfloberghagenphotography thank you! It was a lovely morning
@JohnMcKennaPhotography 👍
Good work as always John.
Thanks Rodger!

Thanks!
As usual, I enjoyed this video. I especially liked the colors and reflection in your first shot at 2:37.
Thank you!

You need to move north if you want this amazing light! Hate is just another word for love so thank you! :)
