Very familiar coastline, I’m currently on the seafront at Hopeman in my motorhome, I was inspired to come to this coast by your NE250 videos before the pandemic. We have been to Fraserburgh Lighthouse Museum, Gardenstown, Crovie, Portsoy, Cullen, Findochty, Portknockie, Portgordon, Spey Bay,. Today we walked to the caves at Hopeman, Burghead tomorrow, then heading back. Thank you for the inspiration Kim my blog is full of lovely photos and memories
Thanks again Kim! You always inspire me to go out. I think that putting a human far away in the picture get a stronger story like you did with your dad. I often take the oporturtunity when people comes in the fram that suites the story. Happy sunday and looking forward to the video next Sunday.
It's also worth mentioning that the 24-200 can also focus to less than 1 meter, which completely blew my mind the first time I went out shooting with it.
Thanks Kim, I spent a few years in that area way back in time, and I loved that part of our world. Our cameras were the 35mm 'Film' type and processing wasn't as easy as it is these days. These days I use Nikon DX & FX with a variety of lens including some from Sigma. All have provided great results, so I see no need to change for now. I'm not planning on going mirrorless, but for those that do I hope you enjoy what is a great hobby.
How lovely. This is the first time I have seen you and have subbed. I look forward to catching up with your previous and future videos. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely stunning! That's all I can say really! I never leave home without my 18-200mm lens too, but that's probably because it's the only lens I've got! LOL
Nikon has the 24-120 mm, which is my go-to lens. I wish it was a 24-200. but I do OK with it. I also have the 14-24 mm, so I have everything from 14-120
Puget Sound , North ... we got you beat!!! Big big orange bails of light , I shoot the Sunrise/Sunsets crazy all the time , filters are a must!! I use NISI..
Just wow. I live in Herefordshire and while the countryside is wonderful in its own right, you can't beat a sunset by the sea for the reflections. You must feel like you have gone to heaven every time you step foot outside your door, as Scotland is just a beautiful country. Back in 1994, I lived in Lauder in the borders for 9 months working for a company called Colourbox. My biggest regret was never travelling about during my free time, with my camera. Looking forward to seeing the drama you will catch now Autumn is setting in.
Thank you Antony. I agree wholeheartedly about the sunset at the coast. I enjoy being in the countryside but always feel alive at the coast, especially at sunset. Nothing beats it for me. It's a shame you didn't take the time to travel more in your spare time when in Scotland but hopefully you're making up for it now.
Hello Kim, love your photo compositions and beautiful colours. But I think more importantly is that your dad is there with you what a perfect photo session. Thanks for your explanations about your set ups. Love it. Thank your dad. Cheers Malcolm Newcastle Australia
Great way to start my sunday morning, watching your videos, nice to see you and your dad spending time together.Well done Kim. Your excitement and joy in nature is also great to see.
If I ever moved to Full Frame Mirrorless. This will be the one. I could also use an FtZ adapter with my 20mm f1.8. However my DSLRs are working just fine at the moment and as an amateur I don't need to spend any more on mediocre shots (mine that is). Nice ones there Kim, very realistic and not overly processed like some other RUclipsrs I'd wouldn't care to mention 📷👍
Another great video, Kim. Some superb images fully demonstrating what’s possible with the range of focal lengths of the zoom lens. I took some images of the setting sun at 400mm that I’m absolutely delighted with - thank you for your continued inspiration.
Kim you showed some magnificent sunset seascapes. I can see why you love photographing the sea so much. Your images here were just gorgeous!! I love your enthusiasm and it is inspiring to make me want to go to the sea and photograph. I just wish that I was closer to the sea myself. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos!!
Really lovely use of leading lines in these images. Really beautiful compositions. I also like the one with your father in it, there is a lovely mood to it. Thank you for another video. 😊
First time watching your video and brought memories of when we stayed in Dumbartonshire and traveled up the west coast and east coast of Scotland, lovely video Kim.
Very good vlog, Kim! Bring us more like it! I'm also a Nikon fan but haven't got yet a mirrorless Nikon camera. It won't be long till I do. Fully agree about the 24-120 lens. I own a Nikon 24-70 but I regetted getting it, i should have bought the 24-120 one.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with comments & great pics... you are so lucky being able to get out as we are in lockdown in Melbourne, Australia..yes I also love my 28-300mm lens as it is so versatile when out & about taking pics.. cheers 😀
Beautiful shots! I was in Scotland a couple years ago for a wedding, and fell in love with the country. We were in Dornoch for a few days after the wedding, then traveled around. I have Scots heritage, and had a chance to visit the MacMillan clan headquarters. Your photography is an inspiration!
Nice shots of a beautiful landscape and good advice. Actually, I rarely leave home without a "complete" FL range from 16-800mm (135/"FF" eq, as I shoot MFT). Despite the best-laid plans, you never know what you're going to find or how you're going to want to shoot it. My Lumix G9, the four lenses I generally carry to cover that FL range, filters, batteries, etc (even a submersible Olympus TG5), plus a very rarely-used flash and soft-box, all fit into a small sling pack that weighs about 5kg/11lb I can easily schlep almost anywhere (including places a FF or MF set-up just isn't practical). With 6.5-stops of IS, I rarely need a tripod and it's amazing how often I use the full 800mm (minimum focusing distance = 1.3m/4.27 ft). If I leave that lens, I can stuff two other lenses in a jacket pocket and go sans pack (still covering 18-200mm). The Z6 is a nice system, but I've rarely felt the need for anything larger than MFT, given its mobility and outstanding performance (especially with DxO software). If you stay under 200mm, then a larger format system is reasonably manageable most of the time, and as you mention in another vid, sometimes limiting your gear can spur creativity. I often find myself sticking with one lens-even a prime-although I have others with me.
Lovely images, I really steer towards wide angle shots but I'm thinking of purchasing a longer lens to be able to capture those more intimate, closer details. A great example of the different kind of images you can capture with a range of focal lengths.
Incredible shots by the sea. The 'rule of thumb' has been to not use a polarizer into the sun or less than almost perpendicular, however, you got an amazing effect with both the polarizer and the ND. It's good to break the rules some times......
Hi Kim, thanks for this and the many other videos of yours that I have enjoyed. I was trying to get that very low sunset shot you got in Rosehearty this August . It didn't pan out for me and I missed the higher shots as I'd just arrived and had to rest for a wee while. I'm disabled and have found in the past that pushing myself at those times is not a good idea. Great pictures you got there and I'll be back next year for another go. Thanks again and all the best, Kev.
This video really shares your enthusiasm and passion. A pleasure to watch. I kind of like the subtle light when the sun illuminates very low clouds. Sometimes, sunset photographs are too dramatic for my tastes.
Great Kim Grant Video, I love the boulder at 04:00, and the ribs at 04:40, what a wonderful spot, brilliant images, thanks for sharing 07:20 is fantastic, thanks for sharing
Hi Kim! Nice video! The title of this video pulled me in. I personally am struggling between Sony's 24-135mm and the 100 - 400mm lenses. And maybe I should add the F2.8 70- 200mm, because that fast lens, would come in so helpful for early morning shoots. Your photos are beautiful, and you are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! )))
Kim, I really like your photography. I study your technique and I use the same equipment (Z6 & 7). Landscape photography is one of my main hobbies along with travel journalism. I first realized the telephoto lens was a great landscape lens back when I was still in film and was using my 135mm and 200mm lenses on my Nikon F. The way these lenses bring the background right up to compliment the front can be used in many good ways that tell a story if the foreground subject is coupled with the associated background. I'm always looking for that correlation. Just wanted to add a bit of encouragement to continue your photo journey.
Wonderful images Kim. I recently broke down and purchased the Sigma 150-600 C and it has done wonders for my photography. I took some enjoyable shots of elk yesterday and ducks at the park the day before. I plan to get Canon equivalent to that cool lens that you are enjoying. Keep up the great work and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
Happy Sunday, Kim. Fantastic video post, the conditions were wonderful. Your first tidal pool image is really spectacular, and later on the closeup of the sun behind the clouds. I agree about the lens choice. For my camera, I have a 28-200mm Tamron which has become my primary lens. I am ok sacrificing a probably hardly noticeable amount of sharpness for the flexibility of the lens. Best wishes from California.
Thank you for the kind words about the images. I too am more than happy to compromise the slight decrease in sharpness. Frankly I have barely noticed it myself. Glad you have a lens that works for you too
Great video, amazing images I love the images taking with the wide angle lens which shows off the great foreground with the beautiful colours of the sunset in the back of the image. Thank you for the tip with the long lens, I did like the images you took with the long lens. It was great to get a understanding of how you get the scale of the sun in the image with the zoom lens. Another great video with some tips to add to my photography. Thank you.
The 24-200 is such a nice lens to use for landscape. Love the beautiful photos you make. I saw you use a bracket on your Nikon Z6, I’m searching for a bracket for my Nikon Z5, which bracket do you use. For as far is I know the Z6 and the Z5 have the same measurements.
Ah.. a sweetheart with a camera taking seascapes with her father in the background... charming. Thank you so much; from Cape Town, South Africa What is the fstop on that 14-200mm lens?
Hi Kim I was up in the Highlands over the last few days, I had a go at some beach and waterfalls photography, I have the Nikon D750 and the Nikon 16-35 f4 lens but no filters, could you please recommend filters for this lens please 🙏. Thanks Ste
Very nice sunset and pictures. I am curious, is there a reason you don't use HDR or multiple images combined instead of graduated filters? While I do use behind the lens circular polarizer, I don't use grad filters in front of the lens. This can be achieved with multiple exposures and raw editor.
Good morning Kim. I am trying to learn about lenses and lighting, also about less costly cameras. Can you recommend a quality camera for an enthusiastic photographer?
Keep posting & I ❤️your videos& passion .what tripod do you use. I have a paralyzed arm& working tripod is not so simple. I have a Sigma18-300mm. Would this be adequate for your shots I must b mindful of budget. Thank you. I have both ball head & gimbal but I wrestle gimbal head way too much, plus heavy. Thank you for listening
I think you convinced me to finally pull the trigger on that 24-200mm lens. Question tho, have you ever been concerned with the variable aperture range on it while out on the field?
what lens are u using not used a super wide or wide angle lens my current setup is nikon z7 with 24-200 and sigma 150-600 contemporary for wildlife what tripod and bag do u use
You can't always predict it but usually if there's some high up clouds in the sky, they are the ones that light up after sunset or before sunrise. The lower down clouds don't. If you see whispy clouds you are usually onto a winner but nothing is guaranteed
Hi Kim, looks beautiful there. Where exactly is it? there's some amazing locations where I live in Macduff, but sadly, sunsets not great due to geography :-( Another great video, thanks!
Well done Vlog today. Also love to see a daughter and father having a great relationship and sharing a hobby. Great shots too!
Lol 😂 you never said I was getting in your shot 😂 😂 some nice images with that wide lens. A beautiful evening by the coast. Time well spend hun.. Xx
Great work Kim and you are so cute
Best shot for me was the last one before changing lens, loved the long fingers of rock reaching out.
I agree.
Awesome video Thanks ❤️🙌🏻
Wow.... these seascapes are amazing.
Brilliant 👍

Amazing photographs! New to your channel. Subscribed.
An excellent video. Clear, concise, with no fluff. I liked it!
that was a really beautiful sunset , you caught it perfectly , & i think the one with your dad in , showed how big the place was .
Nice pics. Your kitbag list would be good too.
I went on vacation to the western US and I used my 24-240 (Canon RF) probably 90% of the time while hiking. It's just so versatile.
Lovely shots Kim, indeed very beautiful photography you showed us!
Wonderful shots.

My landscape lens is a Sigma 18-250 3.5 -6.3 the lens I always carry
Your patience paid off, beautiful shots Kim!!
Thank you Barry
Beautiful photo's.
The 24-105 mm has been my #1 and only lens I have for the reasons you mentioned. I’ve never bought a prime lens.
Just wow. I live in Herefordshire and while the countryside is wonderful in its own right, you can't beat a sunset by the sea for the reflections.

Thank you very much. Really glad that you like them 🙂
What a lovely spot.
Great sunset images as usual.
It was nice to see you take an image of your dad in the distance.
That first image is stunning. Thanks for this video, it adds to my motivation to get to that area soon.
Thank you very much Keith. Hopefully you'll make it up soon 🙂
First time watching your video and brought memories of when we stayed in Dumbartonshire and traveled up the west coast and east coast of Scotland, lovely video Kim.
Thank you very much. Glad it brought back nice memories for you ☺️
I always like watching your videos. Brilliant xx.
Thank you Dobs
Great video Kim and wonderful photos. I shoot with Canon and my 18-200mm is always in my bag.
Great video, lovely location.
I have a Tamron 18-200mm lens which is on my camera all the time
Great video. You definitely showed why it pays to go early and to bring extra equipment.
Thank you Jeff. Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video Kim, one of my favorite lens that I never leave home without is a Nikon 17-55 mm, f2.8. No VC, it is a older lens, but is it sharpe.👍👍📷
Beautifull images
Thank you Karen

Same as my Olympus 12-100 f/4 lens, Very hard to head out without it.
What a beautiful spot. I really liked the shots with the sun ball in view, right after you said something about Slytherin.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with comments & great pics... you are so lucky being able to get out as we are in lockdown in Melbourne, Australia..yes I also love my 28-300mm lens as it is so versatile when out & about taking pics.. cheers 😀

Well done
I just bought a Z6II a couple of days ago, didn’t even know this lens existed, I bought the 50 1.8 with it…that 14-30 is interesting too! 😎
All the best with the Z6 ii. It's a great camera!

Wonderful images Kim. I recently broke down and purchased the Sigma 150-600 C and it has done wonders for my photography.

Keep up the great work and thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
Happy Sunday, Kim. Fantastic video post, the conditions were wonderful. Your first tidal pool image is really spectacular, and later on the closeup of the sun behind the clouds.
I agree about the lens choice. For my camera, I have a 28-200mm Tamron which has become my primary lens. I am ok sacrificing a probably hardly noticeable amount of sharpness for the flexibility of the lens. Best wishes from California.
Thank you for the kind words about the images. I too am more than happy to compromise the slight decrease in sharpness. Frankly I have barely noticed it myself. Glad you have a lens that works for you too
Kim, I love the locations you choose and how these places bring out the artist in you. Thanks for bringing us along with you. Thanks
Thank you very much Mike. Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for the tip with the long lens, I did like the images you took with the long lens. It was great to get a understanding of how you get the scale of the sun in the image with the zoom lens.

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it and found the tips to be handy 🙂
Any chance of you taking your 24mm lens to Loch Ba? - left of the A82 south of Rannock Moor.
The 24-200 is such a nice lens to use for landscape. Love the beautiful photos you make.
I saw you use a bracket on your Nikon Z6, I’m searching for a bracket for my Nikon Z5, which bracket do you use. For as far is I know the Z6 and the Z5 have the same measurements.
I really like the SmallRig bracket for my Z6. It looks very similar to Kim's.
@@j.m.gratton6000 thanks for the information
I can't remember which ones I bought but I got it from Amazon. It's made specifically for Z cameras. They had it in black and red

A great video as always. Scotland is a photographers dream. I love watching your work. How long have you been doing this?

What is the fstop on that 14-200mm lens?
Hi Kim I was up in the Highlands over the last few days, I had a go at some beach and waterfalls photography, I have the Nikon D750 and the Nikon 16-35 f4 lens but no filters, could you please recommend filters for this lens please 🙏. Thanks Ste
A polariser is always a good shout and a 10 stop ND if you'd like to try long exposures
@@kimgrantphotography many thanks 🙏 Kim I will have a look at those and see what results I get . Love the RUclips videos they are very helpful xx
Very nice sunset and pictures. I am curious, is there a reason you don't use HDR or multiple images combined instead of graduated filters? While I do use behind the lens circular polarizer, I don't use grad filters in front of the lens. This can be achieved with multiple exposures and raw editor.
Good morning Kim. I am trying to learn about lenses and lighting, also about less costly cameras. Can you recommend a quality camera for an enthusiastic photographer?
What is the size and spec, the lens your talking.
Keep posting & I ❤️your videos& passion .what tripod do you use. I have a paralyzed arm& working tripod is not so simple. I have a Sigma18-300mm. Would this be adequate for your shots I must b mindful of budget. Thank you. I have both ball head & gimbal but I wrestle gimbal head way too much, plus heavy. Thank you for listening
It's the Millennial Nigel Danson! With a better accent, although I guess the preference for Scottish is a personal preference. ;)
Kim, have you tried the NiSi Reverse Grad filters for sunsets? If so, how were the results?
Great job Kim, Which camera did you take the photograph with? Thank you!
I think you convinced me to finally pull the trigger on that 24-200mm lens.
Question tho, have you ever been concerned with the variable aperture range on it while out on the field?
Personally no. I usually only shoot between F6 and F11 and never noticed an issue. In fact I like it as it gives me more options
I like your music. Where did you get it?
Epidemic sound 😃
Nice, which tripod, filter holder and filters do you use?
what lens are u using not used a super wide or wide angle lens my current setup is nikon z7 with 24-200 and sigma 150-600 contemporary for wildlife what tripod and bag do u use
In this video I used the 14-30mm lens for the first images
Hi Kim I'm looking at the sigma 18-300mm lens
That's great. I've never used it myself but heard their lenses are good ☺️
@@kimgrantphotography sigma lenses are awsum so sharp on the whole
Great Video, what make of L bracket do you use on the Nikon Z camera?
Can u help in regard to red sky's at pm and am time. How do you know when the sky will be red through the clouds. Smaching shots. 👌
You can't always predict it but usually if there's some high up clouds in the sky, they are the ones that light up after sunset or before sunrise. The lower down clouds don't. If you see whispy clouds you are usually onto a winner but nothing is guaranteed
What Lens is it ?
Hi Kim, looks beautiful there. Where exactly is it?
there's some amazing locations where I live in Macduff, but sadly, sunsets not great due to geography :-(
Another great video, thanks!
Kim,
I assume that one of the Z camera and the 24-200 mm is a Z-mount lens?
Yes that's correct Daniel
How are you able to have your lighthouse calendar printed and sell it for 18.99 while making a profit? Thanks!
