Lakelandlass Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Images taken from fairly short visits to the North-Western Highlands of Scotland late October 2008 and the same time October 2009. Despite a dire weather forecast we took the ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway for a couple of nights, followed by an even briefer visit to Skye before being rained off.I'm afraid not an original choice of music but I did try several Scottish pieces; however, always came back to this one.Available on http://www.Beechbrook.Com/PTEMaureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin hill Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Maureen,Once again, for me, a brilliant production with beautiful photographs that portray the beauty of Scotland. Enjoyed choice of music.Thank you.Regards,Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEB Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Maureen,Thank you for making this available. It is in my view an excellent show that really captures the mood of the Western Highlands at this time of year. As for the music - bang on! I have to admit that I have deliberately avoided watching Brave Heart as somehow the extracts I have seen have made me feel ashamed, sick and angry so I have never heard the music before. Now I suspect I will have to swallow my pride as I think I may well use the music myself sometime in the future!! Thanks againJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks againJohnThanks to both Colin and John.John - I watched Braveheart purely because of the music and the magnificent Scottish scenery but I understand your feelings. Glad you enjoyed the show.Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music selected compliments your prowess as a photographer well. And you have a good eye for that moody light. Very well done.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antbrewer Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Maureen,I have at last downloaded your 'Scottish October' and have enjoyed the gentle beauty so much. Thank you for sharing the lovely imagery with us with such peaceful and appropriate music. Sadly my health problems may not be resolved until the start of next summer when I will definitely be on my way back to the mountains of Scotland and hopefully capturing the landscape towards an AV or two.Thank you.Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us hope your health problems are resolved sooner rather than later so that you can get back to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Scotland.

Almark Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 For me AV's are all about the photography. I enjoyed the show and thought the photography was, as usual, of a high standard. Yet another one of your AV's that I will be showing to members of my camera club. While we enjoy the funny ones, and the odd documentary style, what we really like to see is good photography, proudly displayed in AV slideshow.Well done!

DavyC emailed me with valuable constructive criticism, primarily about the music quality. He kindly cleaned up the track for me, recommended a few other minor tweaks and I put it together again and I have to say it is better and ends more smoothly. I have, however, left the original on Beechbrook.BTW, a friend did the Norwegian Coastal Voyage in mid September and the autumn colours and light he captured were beautiful. So far, winter has been our favourite time.Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almark Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Maureen, I showed this to a few folk at the camera club and they were impressed. While they thought the music was most appropriate, it was the photography that caught their interest ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi Maureen What an outstanding show I have only just viewed it for the first time.
