Hey Gary, thank you ever so much for watching and taking the time to drop off a comment, much appreciated. And next time you're across this way we really must get out together with the cameras and follow it up with beer and burgers. Would be good to finally get a chance to hang out on location with you... 😊👍
It’s at times like this I’m glad we Vlog. To capture and document this rare morning will live with me for years to come, especially if I decide to print some of these images. Incredible photos David and thanks again for your wonderful company. You’re a great friend 🍺
Beautifully presented, eloquently narrated, and I feel I was taken along on this experience with you with your use of sense-of-place b-roll and calming music. You have great ideas too, I mean, beer and cheeseburgers after a shoot, how can a day get any better than that? Particularly when you get the most incredible set of images possibly of the year! Cracking stuff, so hitting 5k subs is well deserved 🔥👌👍
Thanks a million, mate, for all of your support and encouragement. Means a lot. Really hope we get something approaching this next time you're over!! 😊👍
Normally I'm interested in both the images and the "numbers". But this time you have excelled yourself and the quality of the images is so so good, I just looked at them in awe. As you say, portfolio images. Brilliant .
Hello Bill, thank you ever so much for your very kind feedback it is very much appreciated. I usually try to remain objective about the quality of my images, but in this instance I am quietly pleased with the outcome! 😊👍
Cheers Gary, I'd always say that capturing the pixels is only about 50% of the process. It makes no sense to me that people have modern digital techniques available to them and feel that there is some sort of badge of honour in creating something without using them. That said, I'm willing to bet that the very same people who express those sorts of opinions turn up on location by car, not riding a horse! Go figure! 😊👍
Wow! Brilliant images, and a cracking vlog David (and Darren).Hugely enjoyable, and added to my list of places to visit when I start working only 3 days/week in January 2020
Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciated. And thank you for your generous feedback it's good to know that all the hard work it takes to run this channel is worthwhile. Thanks again😊👍
Hello Derrick, thank you ever so much for watching. A good point about being able to make the most of it. In fact I've generated comments on previous videos wondering why I go out and practice when conditions aren't great or the location is a bit ho-hum. I think being able to take advantage of the conditions on this one kind of illustrates the importance of practising to be ready when it counts! 😊👍
Gosh Jim, thank you ever so much for that very kind endorsement. Makes all my hard work on this channel feel completely worthwhile. Much appreciated! 😊👍
Hello John, thank you ever so much for your very kind feedback and I really appreciate you watching. Of course, we were very lucky with the conditions, but as I was stressing at the time on video it is still really important to take your time to make the most of it and get the best images you possibly can. I must admit to being quietly pleased about the outcomes from this particular shoot! 😊👍
A very enjoyable blog Dave, such great conditions, even though we live right by the bay we rarely get mist. Thanks for sharing. All the best from Tassie..............Peter.
Hello Peter, thank you ever so much for watching. Really glad you enjoyed it. As it happens, we don't get the sort of conditions very often because being right by the sea too it's usually pretty windy even in the mountain valleys!! 😊👍
Another wonderful video, lovely moody location and some well thought out shots. I really enjoy and look forward to your videos. I also like watching Darren's too. Keep up the good work
Hi Markus, thank you so much for watching again, always appreciate your support. It's quite a rare event in the mountains that we get conditions like this so it was extra special to be there at the right time and with a good friend. Made for a perfect morning! 😊👍
Yes, you're absolutely right. And judging by your name I'd say that we have even more in common. There were one or two trout moving while we were there and I'm often out and about with a Hardy Smuggler and a box of flies in my bag! Shame it was the wrong time of year 😊👍
Hi Mike, really glad you found this interesting. It's really easy when conditions are that good to make the mistake of thinking every shot would be a winner without careful consideration 😊👍
Hi mate, Yes it worked out really well, which we were quite pleased about because only an hour before that we thought it was going to be absolute rubbish!! 😊👍
Hello Neil, thank you ever so much for watching. One of the advantages of shooting in the mountains is that there is often a Plan B available if Plan A isn't! 😊👍
What a set of images you captured Dave, fantastic. Like you said it's made even more special when its shared with someone that has the same passion as you. Thanks for sharing Mate and take care, 📸👍
@@DGriffGallery, oh yes!!! I made 2 vlogs while I was out with Gary. First on Thursday and second the following week. It was really good to meet up with him at great location. The second vlog is quite funny. 📸👍
Yes, Steven, you're absolutely right about the conditions. We were lucky that we were in the vicinity and able to change our plans so easily! But it really does make all the times we venture out when the conditions are terrible, and all we could do is practice, seem worthwhile. 😊👍
Stunning... Just goes to show. If your at the right place at the right time... Well done for making the most of it... I've had a similar thing at ladybower Reservoir and it was like nature was putting on a show
Beautiful Shots David. I spotted one of these in Instagram earlier I think. You gotta love those magical days when conditions just keep on giving. Wonderful outing.
Thank you ever so much for watching and your ongoing support Philip, you know I really appreciate it. And to think, I almost didn't bother vlogging this one because I don't often film when I'm out with other people!! 😊👍
Thank you so much for your very generous feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. It can be quite a lot of work maintaining this channel and kind feedback like yours makes it all worthwhile. I really hope I'll be able to keep you entertained! 😊👍
I know, absolutely amazing! And really good to have a mate along too. Thanks a lot for tuning in - and we really must get ourselves organised to get out and shoot together again before too long... 😊👍
Wow! Some absolute stunners there mate. I love that location and you guys looked like you had a fantastic time. One thing though, you were right next to my favourite tree in Wales and didn’t take a single shot if it!!
Sublime conditions and stunning images. You don't get many days like that and you filled your boots (and memory card!) by the looks of it! I know what you mean about sharing great conditions with a mate - I felt like that when I met up with Gary in the Fen last year on that foggy morning. By the way, great executive decision 😁
Hi Jamie, thanks a lot for tuning in. I must admit I'm sort of toying with the idea of heading down in your direction and tapping you and Darren up for a guided tour of some Fens before too long. Maybe try and get Gary Norman along too ... 😊👍
Hey Mark, thanks ever so much for watching. Why not give me a shout next time you're across this way would be great to have a bit of time with you on location ... 😊👍
Thank you so much for watching, and leaving such generous feedback. I really appreciate it, makes all the hard work running this channel worthwhile!! 😊👍
Hi Mike, many thanks for tuning in, much appreciated. We did get rather lucky with the conditions, although I have had to wait a very long time for the Snowdonia lakes to look like that! 😊👍
Many thanks for your very kind feedback, Jeff, much appreciated. And I'm so glad you enjoyed this one because it's probably my favourite of this year so far and with not long to go it probably won't be beaten!! 😊👍
Once again an outstanding video with examples of great images. I love your channel and your website. I'm making a list of the park and shoot locations trying to work out a circular route for a one day trip. Expect rain when I come to Wales, because it always does when I visit :(
Hello Mike, thank you ever so much for watching and being good enough to make contact. Whilst there are times when conditions can be somewhat challenging around here, there are still usually plenty of good photographic opportunities whatever the weather. But I really hope you are able to arrange a visit and that conditions are perfect for you! 😊👍
Great images again, David, from a stunning location. Smart new hat too, might pick one up on my way through tomorrow. Looking forward to Darren’s take on the morning. Thanks for sharing the morning.
Hi, I have taken images from the beach at Llyn Dinas, you have taken some great shots, made me laugh when you said you were distracted making coffee...
Hello Robert, many thanks for watching and being good enough to make contact. Yes, there was definitely a good shot or two missed while I was manning the canteen!! 😊👍
Never have I cried into my cheeseburger as much as I did watching this! It’s going on again! Missed you guys and not just because of this but like you say because I missed spending time with you guys. Loved the video David you paid of smug beep beep! 😍😂👍
Yes mate, you and James were sorely missed. Even though this actually was the day after, we have probably ended up here on the Saturday anyway because the peaks were so clagged up. Anyway, if you can bob across at shortish notice any time for a couple of hours we can always have a little stroll out, any time to suit you, Sir ... 😊👍
D Griff Gallery I really must! I’m quite free after this weekend, so I will give you a call. I have mug shots with your name on lol 😂 have a great rest of the week.
Hi Ray, yes I'm on the edge of my seat to see what Darren comes up with. Although I think he's probably a few weeks behind so we'll have a bit of a wait!! 😊👍
Thank you so much for watching, always appreciate your support. And if you ever have a chance to hang out with us you be more than welcome to participate in executive decisions!! 😊👍
As you say one of those red letter days when conditions are just so great. Stunning selection of images and I honestly could pick out a favourite one... if pressed though that 1st image on the outro had the wow factor.... ah, forget that - they all had a special feel mate... lovely background music and Moel Cynghorion will be there again when hopefully MD will be able to join you also.
Cheers mate, yeah it really was a bit special that day. Pretty unusual for around here because it's often far too windy for the low-lying mist to hang about much. So right place right time, and as you say the peaks and ridges will still be there next time. 😊👍
Hi mate just discovered your TH-cam channel and absolutely love it, your images are amazing and your nice calm manner comes across in every video. I'm watching one now as I type this, and I've just followed you on Instagram too! Keep up the good work mate it is amazing and really appreciated, Kevin
Hi Kevin, thank you ever so much for watching and being good enough to support my channel. I really appreciate it and hope I'll be able to keep you entertained! 😊👍
Ha ha, thanks a lot Michael, yes it did turn out to be quite a good decision, but to be fair after such a fabulous morning on location it rounded it off perfectly!! 😊👍
Great informative video, some of the best footage I've seen in a long while. Purely by chance I stumbled across your vlog as I did the exact location, day and time as you did. Conditions were fantastic that morning and if I've learnt one thing from you in this vlog it's not to try and fit too much into one day, soak in the possible compositions before thinking breakfast is more important. Shame you cloned me in my red coat out, you and Darren are still in mine. 😂
Sorry Dave, hope you laugh at this.... The lilac purple patch is a sign our fancy HD Samsung TV needs the screen cleaning... Noticed it on Mali's vlogs too.... On closer inspection saw a big handprint type smudge on screen.... Doh!.. Great vlog as always... btw, the "Pam" who mentioned imbalance in music and voice volumes, on some vlogs, (mostly Mali's) is my lovely wife.... .
Truly stunning vlog and images. You had the best of all worlds: location, atmosphere and a friend. Could only be improved by having the beer and cheeseburgers delivered to you lakeside.
Another beautiful video, I’m getting through them! It’s nice for those that cannot, or don’t want to hike any distance to know there are stunning views next to a lay-by. Can I ask how early in the morning you got there, did you know from the weather forecast there was a likelihood of mist and lastly would you ever be tempted to move smaller rocks in the foreground for a better composition?
Hi Sue, thanks a lot for tuning in! OK here we go: 1. It was about 08:00, that time of year we didn't need to get up ridiculously early for first light. 2. Yes the low cloud was forecast, Darren had driven about 200 miles so we got what we were given, but we'd have climbed to a summit on a clear day. 3. Yes I would move rocks that would not inherently damage the location, eg. by causing erosion to a riverbank or lake shore. In this case I did actually clone some out of stills! 😊👍
Hello Ian, thanks ever so much for watching. Yes we were certainly in the right place at the right time and we honestly thought we were going to get nothing about an hour earlier!! 😊👍
Another cracking video with excellent images to boot! Beer and burgers mmmmmm 🍺🍔🍔
Hey Gary, thank you ever so much for watching and taking the time to drop off a comment, much appreciated. And next time you're across this way we really must get out together with the cameras and follow it up with beer and burgers. Would be good to finally get a chance to hang out on location with you... 😊👍
D Griff Gallery - Most definitely xx
It’s at times like this I’m glad we Vlog. To capture and document this rare morning will live with me for years to come, especially if I decide to print some of these images.
Incredible photos David and thanks again for your wonderful company.
You’re a great friend 🍺
Yeah - that was pretty special in every respect - I was just thinking I should come down your way soon and you can show me a fen or two 😊👍
Only last Friday I hiked around Llyn Gwynant but conditions were nothing like this - you were blessed, Sir!
Hello Jack, yes we were very lucky with the conditions, but it is still a great location whatever the weather! 😊👍
Great conditions and super photos. Everytime I think of that road I recall the day it was so hot the tarmac melted.
Blimey! I bet that doesn't happen very often round here!! 😊👍

Stunning images David. Love your channel, thanks for all the work. Richard
Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciated. And thank you for your generous feedback it's good to know that all the hard work it takes to run this channel is worthwhile. Thanks again😊👍

Stunning images as usual. I will have to watch Darren's video next. Thanks for sharing
Hi Tony, yes I'm pretty sure Darren's will be well worth a watch! 😊👍
Stunning photos Griff, great location, when most people simply drive past it. Thanks for the share. Diolch
Cheers Huw, so glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Cracking atmospheric shots David fantastic location with moody light.

I have been out with conditions like that. that certainly make it easier. Nice work. Stressing composition which is so important.
Yes that's a good point - conditions like that can fall you into thinking it's easy and concentrating on compositions is even more important 😊👍
Great vlog, loved some of the drone shots and so many cracking images , what a location and conditions and very well executed, loved it !
Many thanks Lee - as it happens I was trying out my new Mavic Mini 😊👍
Outstanding images David of a really atmospheric day perfect conditions
Many thanks for watching, Carl. Sometimes everything just comes together! 😊👍
Amazing day and amazing images. A day you will remember forever.
Yes, you're absolutely right. And judging by your name I'd say that we have even more in common. There were one or two trout moving while we were there and I'm often out and about with a Hardy Smuggler and a box of flies in my bag! Shame it was the wrong time of year 😊👍
Absolutely stunning conditions and images to match 😀 You captured the area beautifully ... Great watch 😀
Thanks a lot - I'd love to show you both around the area one day if you're ever across this way? 😊👍
D Griff Gallery That’s would be immense and thank you for the offer. We keep saying we should plan a trip, I’ll let you know....thank you. 😄
Love the explanation of your composition process. Thanks!
Hi Mike, really glad you found this interesting. It's really easy when conditions are that good to make the mistake of thinking every shot would be a winner without careful consideration 😊👍
Really nice vlog David lovely set of images in great conditions
Hi mate, Yes it worked out really well, which we were quite pleased about because only an hour before that we thought it was going to be absolute rubbish!! 😊👍
Cracking video and content. What a truly spectacular location and awesome conditions for photography and drones..

Stunning... Just goes to show. If your at the right place at the right time... Well done for making the most of it...

Hi Martin, yes I guess that's why we head out with our camera full of optimism each time, because every now and then nature really does play ball!! 😊👍
Fantastic images what an amazing day you guys had
Thank you so much for watching Colleen, and being kind enough to leave such generous feedback 😊👍

Many thanks Alan - I do have more locations up my sleeve in the Park & Shoot series! 😊👍
Wow! Some absolute stunners there mate. I love that location and you guys looked like you had a fantastic time. One thing though, you were right next to my favourite tree in Wales and didn’t take a single shot if it!!
Hi mate, well if only we'd known about your tree I'm sure we have done something about it - Not sure which one you mean though? 😊👍

Ha ha, thanks a lot Michael, yes it did turn out to be quite a good decision, but to be fair after such a fabulous morning on location it rounded it off perfectly!! 😊👍
Great informative video, some of the best footage I've seen in a long while. Purely by chance I stumbled across your vlog as I did the exact location, day and time as you did. Conditions were fantastic that morning and if I've learnt one thing from you in this vlog it's not to try and fit too much into one day, soak in the possible compositions before thinking breakfast is more important. Shame you cloned me in my red coat out, you and Darren are still in mine. 😂
Well at least you got a mention and I did keep you as a silhouette in one image!! Thanks a lot for watching, and come and say Hello next time 😊👍🏻
Sorry Dave, hope you laugh at this.... The lilac purple patch is a sign our fancy HD Samsung TV needs the screen cleaning... Noticed it on Mali's vlogs too.... On closer inspection saw a big handprint type smudge on screen.... Doh!.. Great vlog as always... btw, the "Pam" who mentioned imbalance in music and voice volumes, on some vlogs, (mostly Mali's) is my lovely wife.... .
Hahaha you had me worried there! Great feedback from Pam by the way 😁👍🏻
That microphone muff matches you hair perfectly :-) - as always nice vid- thanks
Always careful to ensure my fashion coordination is on point!! And thanks for tuning in again! 😊👍
Truly stunning vlog and images. You had the best of all worlds: location, atmosphere and a friend. Could only be improved by having the beer and cheeseburgers delivered to you lakeside.
You may recall from my comments on Centre Island that I have a hankering for cheeseburgers when the photography is going well!! 😊👍
Another beautiful video, I’m getting through them! It’s nice for those that cannot, or don’t want to hike any distance to know there are stunning views next to a lay-by. Can I ask how early in the morning you got there, did you know from the weather forecast there was a likelihood of mist and lastly would you ever be tempted to move smaller rocks in the foreground for a better composition?
Hi Sue, thanks a lot for tuning in! OK here we go: 1. It was about 08:00, that time of year we didn't need to get up ridiculously early for first light. 2. Yes the low cloud was forecast, Darren had driven about 200 miles so we got what we were given, but we'd have climbed to a summit on a clear day. 3. Yes I would move rocks that would not inherently damage the location, eg. by causing erosion to a riverbank or lake shore. In this case I did actually clone some out of stills! 😊👍
Is Darren tall David of is he wearing platforms 🤣
That said what an amazing time you had there, simply stunning images,
You got some bumper light and photographs that day
Hello Ian, thanks ever so much for watching. Yes we were certainly in the right place at the right time and we honestly thought we were going to get nothing about an hour earlier!! 😊👍
Sublime! No need to say anything else :-)
Hi mate, thank a million, means a lot 😊👍
Nice
Thanks 😊👍
