@@DanaPushie Hey Dana, I really hope you are feeling better after your trip to Blighty. So sorry we gave you our germs. ICM isn’t as easy at I thought to get a pleasing result and if you look at Stephanie Johnson’s work… wowzers, she takes it to another level entirely with multiple exposures too. I hope you have a smashing Christmas Dana, thanks for making me smile a lot this year man. See you on the other side 🎄👍❄️

🥰@@louisewelcomephotography

Ohhhh happy Christmas to you and your lovely family. Hopefully Ben and I will be out tomorrow 🤞… have a smashing one Mike. 👍

@@robertlee8980 Robert thank you on both counts… for sharing the memory and for the Christmas blessing. In 4 weeks I have another video from Dingle… I thought I’d space them out a bit. I wish you and those you love a happy Christmas and I’ll see you on the other side. 🎄👍

@@johnchambers6272 thank you John… I know Darren, he was very generous in his words and welcome to my little channel. Ohhhh Will P is tremendous. His out in the field live style blogs are so helpful and that backdrop… wow! I wish you a happy Christmas and I hope to see you on the other side. Thanks for looking too 👍

Thank you Lau on both counts. Darren was very generous. ICM is a bit… er specialist. The golden sand one is my preferred one. Have a smashing Christmas and I’ll see you on the other side. 🎄👍

Des that is hilarious… it’s made my Monday. Have a happy Christmas and I’ll see you on the other side 👍🎄

@@benharveyphotography ha! If I see the Harv Maestro giggling I may just laugh a lot. Genuinely though… it’s a cracking sunrise and low to life place. Let’s dooooooo it! Irrespective of wiggle status. Thanks for being the best photo buddy this year man! We rock! 💥 happy Christmas to you and all your ladies…. X

Thank you so much and happy Christmas to you too. I hope 2025 starts well for you. See you on the other side.

Aaah I have such a soft spot forgot but I confess to an aversion to the false colour stuff. Just personal choice but… shudder. Have a good Christmas sir and I’ll see you on the other side 👍

@@richardlynam2007 thanks Richard. I had a great teacher and her work is stunning! Have a cracking Christmas and I’ll see you on the other side 👍

@@magnus67111 ohhhh that sounds really interesting. Is there somewhere I can see the work. Happy Christmas to you too sir. See you on the other side 👍

@@scotland2212 ohhh Ron, lovely and a very happy birthday to you sir. I had my 50th 2 weeks ago and it pelted down the whole week. Glad you got out even if you didn’t wiggly 😉😂

@@philgreaves1 ideally a stone free one as it makes it smoother… my foreground was a bit rippled. It was fun but soooooo boring for poor N. Have a good Christmas Phil 🎄. See you on the other side 👍

@@trevorsneath4665 I am Trevor. I haven’t when I have tried before except with trees. Although apart from the grass I had to try a bit of hyper focal stuff. I think it’s probably a bit of suck it and see. If you like it… well it’s ok. 👍

@@Rick--A-F lol Rick I did this last year and Shona was a big part of that… as was Donegal. Everything else went by the wayside. Hmmm might give that a thought though. Cheers Rick. Have a good Christmas 🎄

@@louisewelcomephotography Thank you, and a good Christmas to both you and your husband!

@@dougiemilnephotography756 ohhhh Dougie, you went. I’d love to have seen it. Wasn’t she such a delight to interview? Have a good Christmas my friend x 🎄

@@louisewelcomephotography I did, and she was asking after you. Merry Christmas to you too x

@@davidskinner274 David, I loooooove Stephanie’s work. She multiple exposures too. So creative. Shona worked with her for a while. It’s just so interesting to have a different lens on a scene. Happy Christmas 🎄 sir 👍

@@brianmckeever5280 Hasta pronto Mr M. Happy Christmas 🎄

@@Bobcat-1967 done that for straight up and down or simple sweeps but the wiggle bit wouldn’t work. But equally valid if you are aiming for that look. This was freeing because no tripod needed. And I love a tripod! 😉. Have a good Christmas 🎄 👍

@@terrysankey3982 Hahaha Terry. That would be veeeery specialised. Not sure thermals and wellies would be popular on that platform. Hilarious 😂. Happy Christmas Terry, cheers for making me laugh! 👍

@@hjones451 ohhhhhhh nice! I’m still on baby steps. The rain bokeh in particular sounds very interesting. Have a goood Christmas 🎄. See you on the other side 👍

@louisewelcomephotography cheers, louise - you'll master most given time, I'm positive about that! Enjoy your photographic world of adventures in 2025

@ thank you 🙏

@@peterlittle6651 thanks Peter. Shona was clearly far better and has many hints and tips I can’t share as they are hers. I appreciate the feedback. Happy Christmas 🎄

Thank you so much. And to you and those you love. Thanks for 2024 and the encouragement… don’t forget to focus on your top half and not wiggling below your waist…. It all goes very wrong then 😂

@@petevonschondorf4609 Pete, fair play. That’s why I made me smile, thank you, and for the feed back too. I hope you have a good Christmas 🎄 👍

Saw your reply a few hours ago and proceeded to think about our conversation while cleaning off the snow we received last night - not enough! but anyway I misconstrued somethings, first I am a bit self centered but self challenging too. Inspirational? from myself no, I do enjoy seeing others and their approach to design, fly fishing, engineering stuff and photography. But I'm also not in love with anyone designer, etc. Inspirational, maybe yourself because sometimes you nail it and take joy in it and fail and tell us too. I do enjoy James Popsic?? but often disagree/ don't like his photos, Alister Benn, Jim Maitheis sp??, Thomas Heaton, Morten Hilmer too. Thanks needed to clarify this mistake? or rush to typing and not thinking more like it. Have a great holiday.

@@petevonschondorf4609 ohhh James P… I agree but it’s not my type of photography although he makes me think. Alistair B has such a quiet and calming presence… love his work. Have you seen Mark Littlejohn? He does not do TH-cam, he puts his work out with a but of writing about his day with a very lovely warm sense of humour. Stay safe in the snow ❄️. Thanks Pete 👍

@@louisewelcomephotography just found Littlejohn.

@@magnus67111 ohhhh thank you hugely! My Christmas just got better with all those to explore. Boom 💥. I hugely appreciate this Magnus. Hurrah, thank you and happy Christmas. 🎄

@@oneeyedphotographer Hey John, thank you. I will certainly give that a go…. Thank you! 👍. John, I’m so sorry you are having to go through that yet again. I have close relatives and friends who are also. Just… I’m thinking of you man esp on 25th…. The cooler 🤞. Again, thank you.

That is very true Julian. It was definitely a peaking too early day. 😉 I hope i you ou are well and actually out and about either your camera? 👍

@@louisewelcomephotography Better to peak too soon than not all! lol Yes, still getting out there and taking pics. I'm keeping my blog up to date with weekly posts but should get back to video in the new year! Have a great time over the festive period. 🙂

@ and you too. Hoping to meet up and put the world to rights with you next year 👍

@@louisewelcomephotography I would like that very much! 🙂

@@lonewolfphotography01 thank you Geoff, moving water is utterly addictive to shoot. I have soooooo many repeat shots with just a tiny difference. An editing nightmare but such fun in the field. Have a cracking week. 👍

@@edphoto ohhhhh I’ll take that and err thank you Ed. The visit was fabulous and I shall be going back to visit all the bits I now know that I missed out! Anyway, welcome to the channel and I’m glad it’s ok. 👍. Thanks for the feedback man! 😉😊

@@Keith-n7b ohhh Keith, how lovely have access to them so readily. I know the Elidir falls but haven’t don’t the 4 waterfall trail. That’s for next year. Thanks for the feedback Keith 👍

@@louisewelcomephotography You'll love the four waterfalls trail. Lots of steps so be prepared - but can save the legs if you walk along the river but it can be slippery / tricky so either be careful or go in a group. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos from the trip

@ ohhhh thank you for the heads up 👍

@@Harry-bh5dg ahhh thank you Harry. Really appreciated. It’s a fine line isn’t it. Learning from people is very valuable but taking those lessons and applying them in our own way is so useful. Enjoy your waterfall journey, it is addictive 👍

@@domhaughton6809 hey Dom, thank you so much for the comment. I have my second vid from there coming out in the new year. I’m going to aim for an extended time in April 2026. I am going to go up that darned steep hill as much as I can. I didn’t have hail thank goodness 😉. Have a cracking week Dom 👍

@@louisewelcomephotography no problem Louise - look forward to seeing the follow up, and I hope that trip in April 2026 goes well.

@@garrysugdenphotography cheers Garry. lol, I get that happy place bit… excited to go back as I’m told I missed half of them! What a twit! I appreciate the comment. Have a good week matey 👍

@@stigfloberghagenphotography thank you so much, really appreciated 👍

@louisewelcomephotography 👍🙂

@@duringthemeanwhilst ohhh thank you. I have screen shot that to cross reference with my OS maps. There is so much to discover in that part of Wales, I feel I may be spending a lot of time there in the next year. Genuinely, thank you. I hope your week is positive 👍

@@sotonrob ohhh I am so with you. But as you know my friend, I do look at your work with a sense of awe. Excellent choice sir 😍

Thanks so much Louise for your comment 😊

@@jameshchetwyndjr9739 cheers James 👍

@ London june 1-4

@@jameshchetwyndjr9739 que? 😊

@@christianpetersen1782 thanks Christian, and… I’m reaching an age where I do have to think about busted hips etc… I’m 50 in two days and a clumsy mare- not an ideal combo! I utterly get the sitting by a waterfall thing, and it’s just primeval. Maybe one day you’ll see a woman up to her knees in a fall in a purple jacket grinning like an idiot… before she slips onto her butt. Guess who? 😂😂 Have a lovely week. 👍

@@robertsmith1553 ahhh cheers Robert, that means a lot 👍 have a good one yourself sir and a positive start to 2025 💥

@@MrCaliber30 thank you 🙏… I’ve just getting that one printed for my wall. It just makes me smile. Thanks for the comment 👍

@@louisewelcomephotography I have also started printing more pictures. Sad when they just sit on the hard drive and never get printed. Maybe you should start selling calendars like many other "youtubers"?

@@dennispenton2052 thank you Dennis 👍

Hey Des, I really enjoyed reading that. I know what you mean re the campers. I do have one but it just has a king size bed in it with an electric blanket (guess my priority 😉) any cooking is out the back in the rain. I do get swept along by the loveless of others’ work and that can be as much a negative as a positive (ish). Thanks for the comment and if you are uk based, I hope the storm has not affected you too much. 🙏

@@desgardner7169 always something to learn. Shooting 40+ years Coolpix 510 now $280 Amazon good photos

@@paultrunfull3324 an important distinction there Paul 😉😂. That made me laugh, thank you 👍

Thank you Brian. I do like it and it would come a close second. 😊. Have a good week and cheers for the feedback 👍

Ohhhh so do I… Joe, moving water is so addictive to capture. I’m already planning a return. Welcome to the channel and thank you 🙏

@@Rick--A-F I agree Rick. I didn’t realise that I sometimes did this… now I am aware, I can be more purposeful and hopefully train my brain to forget! Thanks for the feedback and have a good week 👍

lol… he would if he could. That made me chuckle, and him too. Thank you 😉😂
