Lovely to see your local seacoast. I can imagine walking there almost every day, rain or shine, Winnie or no Winnie and photograph or no photograph. Showing us what has to come together to get a good shot is photographic education too. When I saw the camera on the tripod was the EM10 mark iv, I was delighted. A modest consumer camera being used to make wonderful images!
Hi Dave, another case of "oh to be there", wonderful light and super compositions. Really enjoyable. I did have to smile when you said to Winnie, "there you go, now bugger off ..." and she did so playfully. She clearly enjoys her trips out with her dad. Thanks for sharing, and all the best to you and Mrs G.
Well I have to say, I quite enjoyed that one, especially your interaction with Winnie. “Here’s your treat, now bugger off!” 😂 I can relate with you when she wanted to roll on the seal pup. Our Mini-Aussie Finnegan loves to roll in anything that stinks. Aside from the usual dead rodents in our local field, one time it he found a dead, worm filled raccoon, and another time it was fresh bear scat. 🤮 Watching you wander I could almost feel the cold wind and smell the salt air.
I am glad that you managed to take a picture because I was just getting ready to comment that you was the third photographer on here who has not managed to find a picture in as many days! so well done, even if your picture taking was minimal its always a pleasure to see that lovely coastline where you often go! Thank you and better luck next time in finding pictures......
Love the video and lovely photographs at the end. It doesn't matter if a shot doesn't come to you, as we all know sometimes they don't. Still a great video.
Cracking picture and good to say hello, sorry about the untrained Springers but they all had a good play (both free to a good home)..... Once again the picture is very nice....
Never mind the photography your dog training is going well too ;) lol I’ll have to try… These are the kind of walks we have with our two fluffy butts and I enjoyed it greatly Hope all is well with you
Love the intro 'no sponsers, no ads'; good to see 'Winnie the Gun Dog' taking you out again and training you to give her treats. Top shots as always; 'Leica Q3'? Is that a new one? Good to hear you say you sometimes take the camera with you without always using it; not an automaton. Keep on breathing(Winnie too). Mike in Oz
Cheers Mike. I've had the Q3 for about 6 months and it's my every day carry for non-landscape stuff. But every now and then I take it out with Winnie because it's a too nice a bit of equipment to leave on the shelf or in a bag 'just in case' 😊👍
It is! Best one I've ever owned and I'm even considering getting another one as a spare in case they go out of business before this one is worn out! compagnon-bags.com/en/products/sling-bag-7l-desert-brown 😊👍
Lovely local environment David and good to see Winnie the pooch running about happily. Great light too lovely images General bollocks is fine from you 😂
Hi, love your videos, so much I’m thinking of downsizing my kit. I’m an amateur that gets out when I can, currently have a Nikon Z8 and a few lenses but considering a move to the OM1 mark11. The smaller lighter bag is very appealing but unsure what to do. Possibly the Z8 is more camera than I need, is there such thing as having too much camera ?
I used to use Nikon. I don't I think it's so much a case of too much camera just excessive weight and bulk for comparable results. After quite a few years with Olympus I could never see myself migrating to a larger system, and all of the professional work I have done in those years has been perfectly acceptable to my clients and myself. 😊👍
Great video. Could you explain what a stop is? I get confused when people say the exposure should be plus one stop or down a stop. It's especially confusing with exposure compensation. Thanks
Hello Mike. In the simplest terms a "stop" is an arbitrary expression for amending the amount of light entering the camera. Increasing exposure by a stop means you are doubling the light from its current amount. Reducing by a stop means halving. It's helpful when hearing about exposure to have a general grasp so you can follow along. But the easiest way to expose your images correctly is to use the camera's histogram along with the EVF or LCD. In modern cameras if it looks OK on the screen that's usually fine. In olden day when I was using film 40 years ago, stops were more important because you couldn't see what you were going to get in any given situation. Light meters helped to determine the average exposure, and then if there were bright highlights or dark shadows you would compensate by upping or lowering exposure by a stop or two. So the easy rule of thumb is this: see what looks about right on the camera. And then if there are dark shadows or bright highlights adjust accordingly to centre the histogram as best you can making sure that there are no peaks up against either end of the graph. You will rarely need to adjust exposure more than 2 stops up or 2 stops down. A range of 5 stops (2 under, the middle, and 2 above) is often the maximum you will work with when exposing a shot. Hope this is helpful, but it not there are some good resources on channels like Nigel Danson which will expand on this for you. It can be a complicated subject and beyond the scope of video comments to explain it in full, But I hope the general tips here are useful. 😊👍
@ no, definitely not. Sharing beautiful places, like the beaches on the island I grew up & lived upon, is a good thing. It’s food for the soul. The issue I have is with the feeding frenzy behaviour of a part of the visiting community. They don’t seem to understand the ethic of only taking memories and only leaving footprints.

👉 "I'm a photographer, light is everything". 👈 👍
Now bugger off, and she did lol. Loving the shots, cracking work.
Such a beautiful location - amazing photos
I knew you had at least one Masterpiece in you for this day, in this place!
Took a while to dredge one up though!! 😂👍
Always a pleasure, David. Thanks for the insights.

Another good one, love that environment and the light.
Really lovely photograph of Aberffraw Estuary.
Great images. A great looking spot for a photo walk tfs
You had me chuckling to myself at several points there. Lovely images as always. Thanks.
Great watching you and Winnie out walking, photos are wonderful, such a lovelly location you live in and I only had a small taste of it.
Beautiful photos, how wonderful it must be to live so close to the beach and have the opportunity for a photo walk while walking the dog.
Photos or no, its always enjoyable going for a walk with you and Winnie T. P.
Thanks again Dave
Very enjoyable video David. Great images and had to chuckle when you were almost upstaged by a couple of rogue Springers 😂
Fantastic set of images Dave, many thanks for taking us on your early morning beach walk wit Winnie the Pooch. 😊
You live in a lovely part of the world, DG. Jammy sod! ;)

I beg to differ (When you told Winnie the Pooch that the video wasn’t going well). Lovely morning to share!
Lovely local environment David and good to see Winnie the pooch running about happily. Great light too lovely images
General bollocks is fine from you 😂
Love the term, general bollocks 😅

@@DGriffGallery thank you
Hiya David! I'm curious if you use any ND-filters when you're doing longer exposures of the water and such?
👌👌🌷🌷❤❤🌹🌹👍👍😊😊

Now the place will be swamped by instagramers and van-lifers………
And that will be my fault?
