- Landscape Photography in bad weather. There's always a shot! Snowdonia North Wales

I'm a firm believer, that you can get a good image in ANY weather..!! Safety first of course but as long as you and your camera gear are protected (weather sealing helps) you should be able to find good compositions to shoot. Landscape photography is all about adapting and shooting for the environment. While keeping my gear away, my aim is always to keep my shots simple, even starting with a telephoto lens in mind and looking for details gradually getting wider until i can see a potential image. Then it's just a case of waiting!
In this video I head up Moel Berfedd in Snowdonia with good friend and fellow TH-camr Gary Gough for a landscape photography challenge and a half!. Though I had originally planned to climb the adjacent mountain - Moel Siabod for a panoramic view of the Snowdon horseshoe, this location was suggest last minute so we decided to check it out.

Though not the very worst weather i've photographer in, this was very challenging as the wind and rain hardly stopped. Challenging but I do like a few of the images I managed to capture.
I hope you enjoyed the video!

Slow and steady wins the race every day! We both know what happens when you let your guard down ;) Cracking video that really shows off the hardship we endure at times. FYI No 6 is my favourite. Having said that, images 9 & 10 have a magical element to them I just quite can't put my finger on 😁😁
4,6&10 all great for me👍
Great vlog Gareth.... 👌👍.... love the atmospheric shots and the conditions looks great for this type of shots.... 😀..... I believe that you can get a good shot in any kind of weather... you just need to go out and enjoy the adventure... 😀
Always nice to see a video with the 2 of you in it. Great pictures!
Great video Gareth, in my opinion all the photos are just stunning. You are really lucky to live in such a beautiful area.
Mental, but in a good way! Some great shots - numbers 6 & 8 are my favourites. Thanks for sharing!
Those images look fantastic Gareth, definitely proved your point 👍
Hello Gareth, its Garry Buckley here! Blast from the past haha! Enjoyed the video, looking well my friend, keep up with the good videos 👍🏻
As innnnn... Bulkington????? 😳
Great video. Glad to see you guys were being safe. My favorite images were 7 and 10. I tend not to go for the really dark and moody, and those two were lighter and more colorful, so they appealed to me the most. Cheers from Maine, USA. :) Paula
Hi Gareth. Enjoyed this ! One of my favourite locations (and a best kept secret before your vlog !! LOL). It's a fantastic for sunrise looking back towards Llynnau Mymbyr and Capel Curig, especially when there's mist over the lakes.
haha.. your welcome!! doh! haha.. yeah its not somewhere id seen a viewpoint from before! cracking spot for a camp!
Hello Gareth, great to see the collaboration with your old pal, Gary. A fabulous bloke also. You had bracing weather! I wonder if you or Gary could answer this question for me! Is it possible to use an L- bracket in conjunction with a Peak Design bracket which fits on my photo backpack shoulder strap? Or am I asking for too much? Thank you in advance...
Thanks mate. You can yes. I do it. It’s not as solid tho. Wish it was a tad wider
My favourites are number 2 and 8. Snowdonia is on my bucketlist for a while.
Hey Martin!! thanks for watching mate!! you must go its so stunning!! :-)
@@GarethDanks I will surely visit in the near future and when this pandemic is over. Thanks.
6, 7, 9 and 10. Reassuring that you struggle to get those shots too!
Nr 6 is my fav with the snaky road
Thanks mate. I like that one too! 😊
nr. 6
Always shoot in the rain, no people . I like the location. Very nice shots , the second my favourite
Thanks mate. Yeah that’s another plus I should have mentioned haha
Awesome Images Gareth.
thanks so much mate!!
I do like your approach to things. Nice work sir. What was the name of the hill you were on. Also when you say you set the camera to classic chrome why do thing if you shoot raw I did not think it matters
Hi Gareth, super vlog and super images, if I had to choose it would be number 10, a great image and light and very atmospheric.
Stay safe and have a great Christmas and New Year.
Great video. I love dark and moody, my favorite image was no. 7, with the road adding a leading line. I noticed you were wearing a Jottnar jacket, I'm thinking of buying one. what are your thoughts on it please, are they worth the money? Many thanks.
You certainly worked the scene and came away with a great collection of moody images 👍
It's a great location and and easy little walk up from the PYP car park.... some conditions you had for sure and well done on sticking it out & your perseverance paid off, cracking images. Loved the image at 15:10, very GW with that strong foreground. I agree on getting a shot in any conditions too, I just prefer not getting wet these days... & who loves sitting on top of a hill/mountain for a few hours in rain or clag.. oh ye, YOU !! (lol) Moel Siabod was the last mountain I walked up and reckon if you are looking for the pano an early morning shoot when the light is on the horshoe. Great advice for shooting in bad conditions. atb Al
Awesome photos. I like how you showed what you went through to get the photos and how you described your thought process on the photos
Thanks dan. Appreciate the comment mate. Glad you enjoyed 😊
Enjoyed this, great video and awesome location! My favourite photo of the bunch is the one at 17:18 I love the misty background and the rocks 👌 weather is wild up there isn't it I just uploaded a photography video from snowdonia and I got rained out in the end, shooting photos of goats in the road and my lens was so wet it was impossible to shoot through 😂
hey thanks mate! yeah im pleased with the images.. so many cool shots to have with all that detail.. glad my gear stayed dry! always a worry! :-)
You were lucky, last time I was up there I got caught in 60mph wind with driving sideways rain and about 5 mtres visibility. I was literally forced off the mountain, and could only find our way down by instinct.
Great video Gareth. Hard to choose as they're all good. Moody weather is great. 😊📷
Thanks so much mark mate
Can't decide between image nos. 3 and 10. Both quite similar and I would be more than happy to have a set of these images on my wall. I have thought long and hard about picking up the 10-24 lens but lack of weather sealing has always put me off. the mk 2 version would be nice but it is at a price point that I am unwilling to go beyond at present. Great vlog as usual :)
Nice to see you back in the hills mate, great video :)
haha thanks Adam!
Stunning scenes!
Thanks so much mate 😊
Can you tell me you print these and if you did what have they come out like at 1600 iso, liked the video.
Hey Roy. I’m gonna print one for sure. Loved the moody feel. 1600 will print fine if you haven’t pushed the file too much in post. Always key to get it right in camera 😊
I like No. 3 or No. 10 all shots are great though esp. in those conditions, one thing though how do you get the magnifier to come over your shots
Hey Keith mate. Thanks for the comment. It’s adobe bridge. It’s about all it does haha
OMG. I felt sick watching the scouting.
haha.. is that good or bad?
@@GarethDanks OMG. This comment was meant for a completely different video, and not one of yours. Sorry.
They’re all awesome shots. Please do a Lightroom edit. Thanks.
Cheers james. Might do actually.. anything in particular?
Great Vlog, how to choose a favourite as they are all cracking shots
Haha thank you so much mate
I completely agree, you sometimes just need to change your perspectives. Pick out details or get some dramatic atmospheric shots. Great video looked like miserable weather
Exactly mate. Slow down and take it all in. 😊
Number 3 ,6 and 9
Enjoyed that Gareth full Mark's with stick8ngbwith, I do love a moody shot. On another note any news about photonerds coming back again?
Thanks so much mate. Yeah we have spoken about it. I hope so. 😊
@@GarethDanks Hope so mate best photography podcast in my book
That’s kind of you. Got a mixed reaction when I joined lol
Looked like there was a lot of noise in the clouds on some shots?
Shouldn’t have been mate. 1600 is fine and I didn’t lift them in post 😊
May I ask why you don't trust the lens being wider than 14mm?
I’m pretty sure mines soft mate. Needs sending to fuji.
With the lockdown now in place in Wales at the best time of year to get out and about opportunities will be missed. Great shame ;-(
its work for me so im ok thankfully :-)
Nice one Gareth, 6 and 8 were my favs, looked like a wet day on the hills. There is a plethora of options for a Snowden pano. My favourite is Carnedd Cribau, just across the valley from where you were. flic.kr/p/2jJRPHa
2, 4, 7
Cheers mike mate 😊
