Hi guys, welcome back to the channel, and in today's video we're out in Lanarkshire
in Scotland. We've had a little bit of a road trip to collect some stuff from Glasgow and
thought we'd stop off here at Douglas, and we're gonna have a look at the ruins of Castle Douglas.
Just something to mention while we're here. Behind me we have a couple of memorials which were
created by the Polish soldiers who were evacuated during world war II, and they were evacuated
here to Douglas and created these memorials to celebrate their time here in Scotland.
The first shot today, we literally just walked through a little bit of the estate
and I've come across this large group of trees here. I brought the infrared
filter with me today, I thought I'd use that with the fz82 and I thought this shot
should make for a good infrared image, given the fact that there's so much sunlight today,
all that foliage and should come out nice bright and white and make an interesting shot. We've
got some nice detail in the sky so hopefully if it's a good shot, I'll show you it now.
The lake behind me there that's Douglas Water and hopefully I'm going to get that into some shots
today. It certainly looks pretty good, there's a bit of a breeze so we're going to get a little
bit of disturbance in the water surface so I might have to use an ND filter to compensate for that.
Sadly it seems like we've lost the sun at the moment
but there are a few geese out on the lake and I'm going to try and use the
fantastic zoom of the fz82 to see if I can get some decent shots of the geese.
So
the next shot I'm going to attempt to do is this island here in the... I just got distracted by
some geese... so yeah this island here is pretty interesting. We've got all these lovely grasses
at the front and also the water lilies growing. They haven't flowered yet which is a shame,
but you know if you're in the area, come back in a few months time they'll be absolutely fantastic.
We're gonna try a long exposure shot with the ten stop ND, obviously we're gonna have to use
the scene mode which is Artistic Nightscape to try and get that shot but we'll see how it comes out.
Check out these picnic tables, they're absolutely covered in lichen
and if you're 'lichen this' why not 'like and subscribe'
So this behind me is what we came here to see. That was, well what's left of Douglas Castle,
it was a larger much larger castle than just the remaining tower.
Unfortunately it fell victim to subsidence and was demolished around the
turn of the last century and this is all that remains of it. But I think it should
make for a good image I'm going to try a few shots long exposure just a general shot
and we try using the infrared but we're just waiting for the sun to come back out for that.
So that's it from me here at Castle Douglas,
I hope you've enjoyed the video and I'll see you again in the next one bye for now.
