Out for a Friday night backpacking trip and overnight wild camp. This would also let me have my first night out in my new 'Wechsel Exogen 1' tent and also try my new' Sea to Summit Ether Light XT' sleeping mat. I was thinking about a summit camp but it was a bit windy and as I was not sure how the tent would perform in high winds decided to play it safe with a camp in the Glen. It did however let me get another Munro, 'An Socach' ticked off the list and although a long walk was still very enjoyable with great views. It was also the first time in a while I got to dabble in a little bit of landscape photography and explore an area I had never visited before. One thing that is always nice is to see so much wildlife and glad that I did manage to capture a little of it in the footage of the trip. https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/an-socach.shtml _________________________________________________________________ Filming - 'GoPro Hero 7 Black’ UK - https://amzn.to/2LLdyx6 Photography - 'Sony A6400' UK - https://amzn.to/31uTbLC Photography - 'Sigma 16mm F1.4 Lens' UK -https://amzn.to/2Qe5hr2 Audio Capture - 'Sony ICD UX560 Audio Recorder' UK - https://amzn.to/2LVynGg Audio Capture - 'Rode SmartLav+ Lavalier Mic' UK - https://amzn.to/2UW27qw Audio Capture - 'Rode Video Micro' UK - https://amzn.to/2Q69H35 Tent - 'MSR Access 1' UK - https://amzn.to/2Am4wS8 Rucksack - 'Gregory Optic 58' UK - https://amzn.to/2Q8fSnt Sleeping Mat - 'Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Large' UK - https://amzn.to/31oLmXH Sleeping Bag (Summer) - 'Vango Venom 400' UK - https://amzn.to/2Aj37vx Clothing - 'Abisko Trekking Tights' UK - https://amzn.to/31qxb4b Footwear - 'Salomon X Ultra Trek GTX' UK - https://amzn.to/2UWE0Z0 Footwear - 'Altra Lone Peak 4' UK -https://amzn.to/32FepGA _________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE on YouTube for new videos! - http://www.youtube.com/c/RenegadeScot FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/renegade.scot/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Renegade-Scot-942053299239823 #SeatoSummit #ExogenTent #ExploreScotland _________________________________________________________________ Be aware that all my films, content, images and information is copyright and cannot be used for commercial or public purposes. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NvK0eHb59I

Landscape Photography Scotland - Nikon D7200 Camera - Exploring Glencoe. Landscape photography trip in Glencoe to try and capture an early morning sunrise. However the weather was not the best so decided to use it as an opportunity to practice and also explore areas for future landscape photographs. Had some issues with my new camera the Nikon D7200 and pictures from this trip. Have now found out with help from a fellow photographer who was kind enough to spend a morning with me to look at what I was doing wrong. Mistake number one was having not switching off the VR (Vibration Reduction) on the lens when mounted on the tripod. Second mistake was the f/ stops that I was using ideally with my lens. Should really have been around f/8 - f/11 as they seem to be the sharpest for what I was looking for. Something that I am also getting to keen on using is HDR or merged images that are giving some of the photographs I had taken a cartoon / painting type look to them. So need to do more research and tone down on how much I use this technique. Always trying new things and techniques in the art of outdoor filmmaking. Also now adding and learning the art of landscape photography. So now using both mediums I hope to capture my experiences visiting and exploring this amazing place I am lucky to live in called Scotland. https://www.clickasnap.com/renegade-scot https://www.flickr.com/photos/146521140@N02/ https://500px.com/r8ymondsmith So as always thanks for watching and if you enjoyed my film please thumbs up and subscribe and until the next time, take care.

Even in summer, conditions can be atrocious; thick fog, strong winds, driving rain and freezing summit temperatures are commonplace. The content shown in my films are just my own opinions, thoughts and as a way to record my trips. Walking and hiking in the Scottish mountains & hills can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. Hazards you may encounter include: Open moorland Terrain, few distinct landmarks, difficult navigation. Crags and steep drops near summits. Boggy areas. River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. Snow and ice on summits even in early summer. Sudden changes in weather conditions. Temperature decreases by 1 degree C for every 100m of ascent. Note: You are responsible for your own safety. Are you fit enough to complete your chosen walk in the available time? Ensure you have the correct clothing for the changeable Scottish weather. Know where you are going on the walk and follow the route on your map. At the very leas ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o21iGpJqM3A
