Landscape Photography | Kynance Cove & Changing Light | Cornwall | UK

- An early morning start at Kynance Cove in Cornwall, United Kingdom proved interesting as the light changed minute by minute. Not the usual early morning shots for a landscape photography and the sea spray proved a challenge but I enjoyed myself.

Nice video Paul. Great use of time getting in an early morning shoot and being done by 9.30. You captured some great images, totally different to my style and i think that's why I love them. These videos are brilliant for seeing different perspectives of other photographers and you always convey your thoughts in an entertaining way. The fast shutter speed shot was great and worth getting in the sea for. My favourite is the the thumbnail shot. Its always satisfying when you nail the brief opportunities that the weather and light provide us.
Mate thanks for your insight and am honoured you take the time to comment :) The beauty of photography is we all have a camera but we see things in our own way . Cheers Adam
Looking forward to that! 😂.
Nice work. This is some of the best seascape images I have seen in quite a while. Beautifully captured. Thanks for sharing.
Tony that's a very kind comment. I made the best of the conditions on the day but to be fair it's the location that made the shots and I can't wait to go back as it has so much more to offer. I could spend months there :)
Great shots Paul and a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
All the best....Peter.
Thanks Peter :)
Absolutely magical paul beautiful place to go cracking images can't wait for next instalment
Thanks Andy :)
Glorious images sir. Your energy & enthusiasm is infectious.
Kind as always Joseph and so is yours buddy :)
One of your best videos to date Paul. Loved the location and all the shots worked a treat. Ditto to all of Adams comments 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Gary :)
Love this VLOG Paul. I'm particularly inspired by the fact that you have no issues shooting during the middle of the day, in the harsh light. It's something I have been doing a lot recently, and I'm actually really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing mate!
I think there are shots to be had in most light conditions. Makes for a fun time :) Thanks Henry .
Beautiful location and stunning images Paul. Cornwall is a beautiful magical place and you have managed to capture some of it in your images.
It's been a few year since I was last in Cornwall and you images make me yearn to go back real soon.
Awesome comment as always Mark. Thanks :)
I say it as it is Paul and it's deserved 👍🏻
Great images and an entertaining video. I've only recently found you channel and am still catching p on some of your older videos while watching your new ones.
Beautiful seascapes. I hope you were wearing rain boots.
Luisa just some light neoprene shoes :) I love the sea . Thank you
I love the way you got in the sea mate, cant believe the lengths some of you guys go to, i need to grow a pair and get wet....
Thanks buddy :)
What a great location, and some cracking shots. Can't imagine how soggy your feet were by the end
Super images Paul, some great light and great compositions, well worth getting wet feet for, hope the gear was ok?
What a place! Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Paul much appreciated.
love it... those images with the sea smoothed out are wonderful..
Thanks for sharing your video!
Wow!! You got some ridiculously beautiful shots there Paul! What a fantastic location you found. Should have worn a scuba suit! You almost made me think it was prettier there over Scotland. Not quite but almost ;)
Thanks David. Its a stunning place.
Great drama captured both in the images and choice of music. Thought I was watching an episode of Casualty for a minute there. Nice post production editing as well...great colours
Thanks James :)
The shot with the rainbow and splash at the end where you had to go in the water are my fave.
That guy with beared appeared from no where. He looked a little bit like Game of Thrones character. For a moment I thought he, Tormund, was a guest star hehe.
Lovely location. Thank you for sharing. My son has been asking me about your camper van ... He now wants to know when am I buying it. 😊
LOL your son has good taste. :)
Spectacular Photos Paul. Amazing!!!! Again another fantastic video
Thanks Andy :)
As always Paul, great images, and you seem to always dare the impossible! Lol. No but really very daring getting out there in those waters, but we do what we do to get the shots, don't we. Take care Bud.
Thanks John :) No great whites (at least I hope not).
Really like the shot with the water receding around the rocks... Have to say when the guy walked behind you I thought you were about to introduce a guest vlogger...
Ha that guy was a star :) Tom already did that :D
Looked a really difficult balancing act, filming whilst wading in the sea....lovely shots though...
Thanks Alan :0
Stunning film , as always......though i did spit tea all over the monitor with laughter at your face when the dude with the beard came up behind you and probably stopped a shot !!!!!.....and jesus i'd freak taking my little Sony A58 near the sea spray so fare play on risking the beast you use which brings me onto a question . Do you fancy the D850 ? Which you've probably been asked a 1000 times by now ......Image of the day was the rainbow one followed closely by words of the day "Sod it" which is indeed grass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........keep safe Paul .....bacon on bread (chilli and mayo !!!!!!!!!!!!)
The d850 is the only camera that would tempt me away from my current camera and it is a goal to get one eventually. The dude shocked me and walked straight in front of the camera but he has as much right to the beach as me :) Awesome comment thanks Bill .
Lovely, lovely, lovely photographs Paul. Thanks for sharing. Greg
Thank you very much :)
Cheers Paul. Top video. Top shots and another location on the bucket list :-) Especially liked the last image . . . powerful.
Thanks Rob . Kynance is lovely :)
Great video Paul and I'm going to use THAT word stunning images, good to see you making the ultimate sacrifice of wet feet to bring us these images LOL!!!😂😂😂. I always look forward to your videos they are very compelling and enjoyable.👍👍👍👍👍👍 looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Tim :)
Pauly G,
An exemplary effort. You really worked the location to great advantage, producing wonderful, evocative images. The bonus rainbow is brilliant! This vlog and a samovar of Sumatran coffee have kicked off my Sunday morning in a fine fashion.
Oh, and BTW, go Titans!
Thank-You,
Mike
Great comment , thanks buddy :)
Oh wow! Fantastic images & great video Paul. The clouds & light were changing all the time which made for such incredible shots. And what a location! I've never been to Kynance Cove , but it's now on my to do list! It's breathtaking.
:)
It's a stunning place Debbie. Thanks :)
Nice adventurous compositions Paul... Thanks
Thanks Adrian
Beautiful. Awesome. Stunning.
Probably your best yet. The video quality was amazing. It was almost like being on the beach with you.
The pictures - sorry, at this point insert the 'f' word and add any superlative; gorgeous, dream-like, luscious or just settle on beautiful.
Tremendous.
Thank you.
Thanks Paul :)
Really like seaskapes with such dramatic sky! Wish I had the coast near by...
Nice images, great vidz, I really enjoy them.....keep on! Peace
Thanks Adi. Kind words. Peace x
Brilliant Paul! I was there over 30 years ago with my young family, before coming to Canada, it is just as beautiful as I remembered! You did it proud mate!! Cheers.......Chris
Thanks Chris. Its one of those locations that is timeless :)
awesome images, Paul - I really enjoyed watching this vlog. Kynance Cove is truly beautiful - not been there for a few years now. Your seascapes really are inspirational......exactly the kind of images I wish I had taken. Thanks for another great vlog.
Thanks Robert . Kind words .:)
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. atb, Larry
Thanks Larry :)
Beautiful. Especially love the square crop monochrome image.
That's my personal favourite and it looks awesome in print ;) I'm not comfortable with square crops either as it forces me to concentrate on a specific aspect . I am determined to do more .
I have watched your vlogs, learning, laugh, been inspired, almost jumped up and down when I've seen the location you been at and the pic recaps. When there was people running by you in this one.. you looked a bit surprised. 'Like.. whaaat the fudge is going on'!? But still the "relaxed Paul" doing his stuff. Thumbs up! :)
Thanks , I was so engrossed in what I was doing that the people walking through the shot, shocked me a little ;)
Beautiful pictures Paul and beautiful pictures to match. Awesome.
Thanks Gerard.
Paul, another set of great shots. Particularly like the last freeze shot! I've recently added Lynne Luxon-Jones to my list of must-watch landscape photographers. Take a look at her "2 days of long exposures, seascapes and a windmill". She is using, and highly recommends, snow shoes (feet), which you can see on her tripod in the video. A step-up from the set of 3 old CD's!
Lynne is a great photographer and I need to catch up on her blogs :)
Another excellent VLOG Paul. Your drone footage really adds another dramatic dimension to your work. All the images are fantastic but the last shot is outstanding - well worth getting your feet wet for. Hope the Nikon was ok !! Thanks, as always, for sharing Paul.
Kind as always Tim. Thanks buddy
Hello Paul. Gorgeous video as always. I've been in Kynance Cove only twice - it's a long way from Germany - but it is always exciting and I am pretty sure that I have to come back, as I still didn't take the ultimate shot of this stunning (copyright by Thomas Heaton 😁) landscape.
Thank you for all the inspiration and best regards,
Greg
Thanks very much Greg. Kynance is "stunning" c-TH2017
Very nice. Wish we had some coast like that near where I live. Might I suggest getting at set (of three) Gitzo G1586 "snowshoes". They work really well in the surf. As I recall, they were about US$30 when I got mine. Manfrotto owns Gitzo, so you should be able to find them fairly easily.
Thanks Michael. I'll take a look :)
Great images & thanks for making your video inspirational
Thanks Peter. Very kind and glad you got something from it .
Another fantastic video Paul. It's always worth getting your feet wet for a great shot just like yours 🌈🌈
Going to visit Cornwall with my new wife of 4 weeks later this year 👰🏼, so will try and get to Kynance Cove and other great places to photograph.
Keep the vids coming and look after yourself.
Peace x
Thanks Andy :)
Hey there Paul, my inspiration and highlight of the week. Stunning images, stunning , stunning. Love the image of the water caressing a rock in the foreground while we are reminded of the power of the sea in the background smashing against the rocks,marvellous. Right, where's my camera bag,,,,,, Peace
Thanks Peter . Peace x
Beautiful images Paul. I was on the north side of Cornwall around Porthcothan Bay (Poldark etc.) attempting similar things a couple of weeks ago. Wish I'd seen your video first :)
Thanks Andrew. North part is stunning :)
Great images Paul. Always look forward to watching your vlogs of the old country in the outback of Australia, You should come to my part of the world (Kimberley's, West Oz) i have to watch out for salt water crocs when taking seascapes.
Crocs are something I;d be a bit worried about lol. Thanks Andrew :)
Beautiful shots Paul, love the sense of movement in the water, just the sort of thing I like!! Seeing this makes me miss the coastal landscape of the UK. And so much luck with that rainbow, all the past little problems paid back, karma:)
The rainbow was a freak :) Thanks buddy ..
Superb vlog Paul. Really like the images that you took. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Robert :)
Love that place. Plenty of little smaller coves further up. The sea wouldn't have been playing ball, at that time.
Photography captures and enhances visual memories
Kynance is stunning and I am looking forward to exploring further :)
Paul, thanks for sharing your morning experience and it's stunning results with so much simplicity and generosity. I live in the FrenchJura mountains (close to Switzerland), far from the sea, but you made me smell the salted water, hear the sound of crashing waves and feel the pleasure of making (not capturing) strong images.
Photographic cheers from France, jean
Thanks Jean. Im glad you got the atmosphere of the place :) Lovely location you live at .
Great images, great location. Funny watching you trying to avoid your catchphrase...!
Ha thanks Brian. I don't want to be stereotyped ;)
Enjoyed the variety of the shots you took, the fast speed shot looked great but very risky on the pricey gear you have.
I have yet to buy a ND grad and try the very long exposures which look really amazing.
I hope to get the first from Santa, Could you help me please, which density do you use most and recommend ?
Along with a 10 stop ND , If you had only 1 ND grad would it be 2 stops or 3 stops ?
. I have taken some pics at Kynance cove myself a few years ago , but mine look plain now.
Thanks for the entertaining and informative filming.
6 stop Bobby. The 3 stop is great but not used so much as you can achieve the same by stopping down. Re ND grad , 3 stop soft edge to start
Great shots Paul and a beautiful place, your so down to earth in your telling a story, or conveying your views which I like very much right am going for a bacon-butty I have said enoughTom G Scotland
Thanks Tom. Very kind :)
Wow.. the shot with the Rainbow was sunning,, A quick question.. Do you find it better shooting as the water approaches or recedes? What produces the best motion in the image (obviously not applicable to the waves crashing shots!!)?
I think it depends on the look you are after , I love the waves receding shots though :)
Well Paul ,you made me do it ! I always said I wouldn't join TH-cam but I felt I had to add my congratulations to the richly deserved ones you have already received for this video. So I have just joined tonight. I have been watching your vlogs for about 6 months now and have learned from and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. This vlog is superb and the images are incredible.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge and experience.
Cheers
Iain
Ha thanks for joining YT to comment . It is very much appreciated and you made my day :)
That looks like an amazing place, Paul, don't thinks it's my screen but some of your photographs look a little green?? Cheers fella.
Thanks buddy :)
Enjoyed that Paul, inspiring stuff. Shows you don't have to be up before dawn to get lovely light! #extrahourinbed
Rules are made to be broken :) Thanks Chris
Loved this video very similar to the coastline where I live on the NE coast of Scotland, I haven't been out doing seascape for a while you have inspired me to get out and enjoy what I've missed! Thank you 😊
Thanks for the great comment. I'm heading up to the NE of Scotland at the end of next month!
Kynance Cove has to be the best place in Cornwall and most certainly my favourite. You could always superglue the CD's to the feet of your tripod Paul. Going home for a cup of tea must have been a long drive for you though. Oh, by the way, great video and stunning images, thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy. Home was a caravan at Kennack ;) The superglue is tempting :)
Another great video Paul. I've been to Kynance Cove on several occasions, but never been able to get a shot I really liked - may be have to take your lead and go for a more intimate shot next time. There's some great places to shoot down in that area, Mullion Cove, Gunwalloe with Church Cove next to it where the church sits apart from it's steeple, and of course Lizard Point. Enjoy.
The area around Lizard is stunning and I haven't explored 1/10th of it yet. Soon, I hope :)
Cornwall is in my top 3 places after Yorkshire and The Highlands. There are so many places that offer great photography opportunities down there. Excellent video Paul and great results.
Cornwall is a stunning county and your top 3 are well deserved :)
Lovely images. Your videos never disappoint. I think these pictures are outstanding, even by your high standards. And your use of music here was really good.
Thanks buddy :)
This is the best vlog yet Paul! The production is so professionally done now and the images are probably your best so far. Add the outstanding music and it makes for a wonderful piece of work, quite superb! Well done mate! 🍀👌
Thanks Andy. Very kind
Another great video Paul keep them coming always look forward to watching them.
Thanks Brian :)
Amazing photos & stunning locations - Id love to know your primary processes/ go to maps which help you find these stunning locations!
Hi Ben thanks for the comment. If I'm scouting and area for a shoot then the internet is my first port of call. I usually have two or three locations in mind then head out for a recce. If the primary location isn't up to much from a compositional point of view (which is rarely the case ) I'll not stick with it but head to a secondary location which I am possibly more familiar with .
333 likes, 0 dislikes, 360 comments and I'm not sure I can add anything to what has already been said. Some great tips as well as the images, a simply wonderful video that was a real joy to watch from beginning to end. One of your best Paul, and your average is better than most people's best.
Lol give it time buddy :) Thanks as always Mark, great comment .
What lovely compositions Paul. I'm sure not an easy shoot but it did look exciting and fun. Your face when that couple turned up LOL. I truly do look forwards to you vBlogs always an inspiration x
Ha thanks Shaun :)
Thanks for your kind reply and so very quick. I can see your very busy with so many people, comments, vlogs etc.
We are all getting so much from your great videos with the settings , tips , advice and humour.
Noticed your ape to camper van sweatshirt was soaked , must be tricky filming , getting into an odd position fighting the waves and getting the superb shot all at the same time. Does the Nikon still work underwater ? Brilliant vids.
Bobby John mate if I can’t be respectful enough to reply to kind people like yourself then it’s time to stop . The Nikon might not do so well under water 💧 😂
Absolutely Stunning, as TH's T says. Of all the photo vlogs I watch, yours and e6 are the ones I look forward to most. All beautiful images, but the ones with the sea retreating round the foreground rocks stood out the most for me. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Greg. Very kind :)
Nice one Paul - I'm a Lancashire lad but have been living in Cornwall the past 10 years - glad you enjoyed your Kynance trip - up the clarets!
Ha thanks buddy, i'll pass on your regards to the lads on friday :)
Great pics Paul just subscribed working my way through your vids
Thanks for the sub buddy.
Incredible shots! I only managed to visit Kynance once while I was down in Cornwall, the tide was in and it was one of the windiest days to shoot. I'll have to go back! Subscribed!
Thanks Reece :)
Stunning! My favourite of the lot is the B+W version of the third image. Just wondering what it would look like had a digital red filter been applied in post processing. It would make the sky a lot darker but then make the clouds a lot more of a contrasting element bringing more drama to the sky portion.
Great stuff, love the seascapes as well as your countrysides with those spectacular stone walls.
Also, great drone videos. Especially like the direct overhead views, awesome.
Thanks Keith. The digital red filter added banding to the sky hence why it wasn't used. I need to get back there when the sky really plays ball. Thanks for the brilliant comment :)
Paul, I've been excitingly waiting for the next Cornwall vlog since the first one and you didnt disappoint, it was so inspiring. It was also great to see your take your filters off , that image was brilliant. Keep up the good work. Cheers Mike.
Thanks Mike :)
Wonderfully paced vlog again Paul - the rainbow shot would have been lovely even w/out the rainbow, but it helps bring it up to another level, the 2nd to last photograph was also quite nice. Thanks for sharing your artistry and experiences!
Thanks Alan. :)
In all the months I've been watching your videos I only just realised I wasn't subscribed. I know it's hard work, but keep on inspiring people.
Thank you Sir :)
I love Cornwall & your video & images have done it justice. I find if I rest my tripod on CD players it remains quite sturdy, even in the water. 😉
The CD trick works great, I was moving around such a lot though :)
Some crackin shots Paul, didn't expect anything less 👍
Thanks Andy :)
Stunning images Paul, last time I was at Kynance Cove, was after walking from Mullion cove and before Digital was invented, and was to afraid to get the camera wet and do what you did on this shoot, thoroughly enjoyed watching this, you have made my Sunday morning.
Thanks Kelvin. Very kind :)
Great set of images Paul, I really love the shot with the big rock in the foreground and the rainbow in the background.
Thanks Dave :)
All wrapped-up by 09:30 in time for a bacon buttie :-) I know you've always excelled at your sea-scapes mate but these are (another) exceptional batch. Plus of course, you got to have a nice paddle by the sea-side :-)
Thanks Ian. It's all about the paddling :)
Really enjoyed watching this - loved the images. Just found your channel will be catching up on previous posts and look forward to your future ones.
Thanks Jane. Very kind :)
Wow! Fabulous images Paul. You must be very pleased with so many great images from one location - I know I would be.
Thanks buddy. The place has lots more to offer and I really want to spend a few days there to get the best from it :)
Great video Paul, I love Cornwall and especially Kynance Cove and your images have captured it to a T (or should that be tea and bacon butty?)
Presumably the cafe just up from the beach wasnt open at that hour?
Thanks a lot
Thats very kind . Thanks Bryan .
I really liked the shots experimenting with the incoming waves and long exposures. I wish that there were some more seascape locations near me but maybe that'll be one of my next photography trips. Great video!
Thanks Nick :)
Paul, you had a great morning. Always a good idea to take both long exposures and faster exposures like 1/500th or faster to capture the waves at the critical moment. I never know until I get home and put the photos up on the screen which technique works best.
I think both techniques are great just depends on the mood you are trying to capture doesn't it :)
You, my friend, certainly have an eye for composing great photos. Hard to pick a favorite one, but I'd go with the one you posted to Instagram. Sounds like this is close to your home ..... lucky to be so close to so much beauty.
Thanks Randy . Cornwall is a 7 hour trip but worth every minute of the journey . its an amazing county :)
Another great video. Can I ask how much time you would spend processing the long exposure shots you included in the video? It looks like there is quite a bit of work gone on in Lightroom/Photoshop? I know that when I use my Zomei 10 stop ND although there is no real colour cast the image does need quite a bit of work to make it pop.
I very rarely use photoshop and it wasn't used on any of these shots . Jus standard use of sliders in LR so highlights blacks, whites shadows etc . I rarely if at all use clarity vibrance or saturation . Thanks and glad you liked the video buddy :)
Fantastic shots Paul. I loved the monochrome shots and the shots when the squall came in. I'll put Kynance Cove on my list of places to visit. Thanks for another excellent video.
Thanks Steve. Glad you liked the place and the shots :)
Fantastic video Paul, I'm off to Kynance tomorrow morning to shoot. I've been a few times in the summer for the day but never to photograph. Watched this yesterday and its sown the seed to get up and drive down early tomorrow and hopefully get some great shots. Great video. Thank you
Hope you got some great shots Darren :)
Excellent video again mate. You're always entertaining, and so enthusiastic - even when your feet are wet 😊 And what a beautiful location. Can't fall to be inspired in such a place. Great stuff 😊
Thanks . Kynance is stunning.
Paul, lots of drama, nice work. Thanks for getting your feet wet. Also thanks for the recap at the end; wish everyone would do that.
Thanks buddy :0
Paul, what can I say that' s not already being said ... I love all of the images and this is great photography. I also like the drone parts of especially this vid. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. Peace.x. 😉
You are too kind Andrea, thank you :) Peace x
Beautiful shots Paul, very inspirational vlogs. Keep it up. Well worth a parking ticket!
Thanks Jason. I was lucky on this occasion, no ticket ;)
Stunning Paul. I admire your self control of taking the shots you wanted and leaving. I'd be there shooting away all day! Great work.
Thanks Miguel :) I had to get back to the family but I will be back :)
First time I watched your video, fantastic. I live in Cornwall as well and has given me inspiration and ideas when I eventually get out with my camera. Look forward to some more Cornwall shots. Regards
Thanks Bob. Happy shooting :)
Absolutely stunning location. Well done. Must be amazing when it is overcast and stormy 😉
I want to go back in storm season :)
