Thanks Alan, it was an early start, but the highest tides were an hour or so earlier, but looking at the aftermath, I wouldn't have been able to safely video the scene....Bob
The sea and wind look very angry and menacing as though they are ready to swallow up the land at any moment ! Unbelievable weather you are having there Bob , meanwhile here on the east coast of Australia its supposed to be our rainy season but we are getting sweet fanny adams ! thanks for uploading Stewart
Thanks Stewart, although we are in Mid Winter, this is very unsettled weather, especially as we live on the Coast.....unfortunately we are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean, and with the Gulf stream over the UK at the moment, we're having the full force of the Atlantic......Best wishes from Wales....Bob
That is true Robert, an excellent camera. Little secret, in manual mode you get even better results, difficult at first but worth the effort. Regards John
Robert Masterman Hi Bob... Controlling the light conditions in manual mode, shutter speed and iris. In manual mode, quick menu, you can turn on the zebra and see exactly where there is over exposure. In manual mode you can also choose for the Auto Focus and obviously for Manual Focus if you prefer this? We both know how good this camera is in low light conditions and in Manual you can take it up a notch if needed. Have fun exploring this great bit of kit to get better results in different conditions...Regards John
Thanks Austin, it was almost impossible to stand steadily with the camera, but thanks to the wonderful X920 it was captured without too much unsteadiness...Bob
Great video,captures the atmosphere perfectly you can almost imagine being there,we've just come back from a walk on the harbour and a run on the beach,Can't beat it right on the doorstep:)
When will it ever end Bob? Still makes for some interesting images with the light, sky and swelling sea. Microphone performed well in a gale too. Chris
I know Chris, more storms forecast for this coming week. I'm only using the camera mic on these uploads, and it's protected by a home made jammer...but it copes very well in most conditions....Bob
Very good Bob, I have been up to the point beyond the lighthouse on a breezy day in September and was staggering how much more windy it was near the end.
Just another rough day in the office for you then Bob...lol. Cracking selection of clips..in just my kind of weather...i just love storms !! How did you manage to keep the spray off the lens, and where you sheltering behind walls etc to keep the wind noise down ? Thanks for making the effort to capture this..brilliant......Steve.
Just found this at the very bottom of the comments Steve.....Thanks for your obsdervations....I did try and shelter behind a small 8ft square building, and using my body to shelter from the winds, but it was throwing me all over the place.....I had to wipe the lens quite often as it gets covered in salty debris...which is not good! The camera is superb at keeping the image steady....Regards..Bob
Bob, you are really getting a good feel for your camera work, it get's better everytime I see something new. Like Wayne, said, yes, you we're getting blown around, and I looked for surfer too, Rob, lol California Dreamin', :o) Good Video Bob!
Thanks once again Larry, it's having such positive comments that keeps me going.....I started photography back in 1962, and still love it to this day...Bob
What a wild and desolate scene Bob and it just shows how the weather can affect one's view of a location for the worse! I'm sure Burry Port is a much nicer place than it looks here. Excellent hand held footage and a tribute to your steady hand and the superb quality of your Panasonic 920. At 3.10 to 3.20 the view is remarkably similar to the view we have locally here at Irvine Beach - in our case the land mass is the Island of Arran, off the North Ayrshire coast. I have some footage, yet to upload of that location in very similar conditions which may interest you. Best wishes. Ken
Sorry Ken, this comment has only just turned up....probably blown off course ....Burry Port is a lovely town Ken, and the clip you refer to is the view across to the Northern shore of the Gower Peninsular...You must upload your footage...it sounds great...Best wishes....Bob
You are getting blown around there Bob. to when i got up it was overcast and 38 f it is now about 40 wet snow all day. Just a few days ago it was cold enough to freeze the nuts off a railway bridge.
When I was a little baby seaman , in the Army , of all places! Sea like that was known as either "a bit lumpy" or " 'arry roughers" 'arry being Jackspeak for "very". Regards , Pete.
Thanks Pete, it wasn't so much the waves this morning that attracted me it was the strength of the winds whipping accross the harbour mouth...it was difficult to stand....Bob
Conversation overheard at Burry Port:..Look out there on the Jetty what is that Chap doing? Response: Oh that's Bob Masterman He will endure about any weather to make A TH-cam video... LOL Good Video Bob
Erhard Baltrusch The tide was on it's way out at the time of filming Erhard, high tide was at around 07.30 this morning....Thank you for your comments...Bob

Very good, Bob - the skies were quite spectacular.
Thanks Alan, it was an early start, but the highest tides were an hour or so earlier, but looking at the aftermath, I wouldn't have been able to safely video the scene....Bob
Very Impressive storm clouds Bob - Well filmed in rough weather - Many thanks.
Thanks Bob, with us open to the Atlantic, it can be very beautiful even during this stormy weather...Bob
Great video, Bob...thanks for posting....be careful out there....
Cutter
It was too dangerous at high tide Cutter, but this gives you a flavour of what it was like....Many thanks....Bob

Excellent handheld footage Bob... the skies well captured, job well done!
Thanks John, it's all down to a fantastic camera, which excelles at everything.....Bob

What elements of using manual settings are improved on John?

Great video Bob out braving the elements like the rays of the sun peeping out of the dark clouds.(C&A)
Thanks both, i was down early this morning, but not early enough to catch the high tide....Bob
Well captured Bob, I trust you have thoroughly warmed up again now!
Thanks Austin, it was almost impossible to stand steadily with the camera, but thanks to the wonderful X920 it was captured without too much unsteadiness...Bob
You have ben getting your share of bad weather down there Bob , thanks for showing ..my advice is ..keep indoors and be safe ...
I know, many have had severe storms all over the UK Dave, but it's unusual for this part pf the World...Keep indoors...Me?....Never! :o) Bob
Great video,captures the atmosphere perfectly you can almost imagine being there,we've just come back from a walk on the harbour and a run on the beach,Can't beat it right on the doorstep:)
Thanks very much Wayne, I'm delighted you enjoy my work, and an opportunity to see it on such a stormy day....Bob
Nice work Bob! Not even too much wind noise, well done! Rich
The camera coped well in those conditions Rich, it was me that was struggling to keep on my feet...Bob
When will it ever end Bob? Still makes for some interesting images with the light, sky and swelling sea. Microphone performed well in a gale too. Chris

Very good Bob, I have been up to the point beyond the lighthouse on a breezy day in September and was staggering how much more windy it was near the end.
Thanks Justin, you are exposed to the full force of the South Westerlies off the Antlantic out there....not a good place in gale force winds....Bob
Superb video all about the power of the sea. Thanks Bob......Mike
Thanks Mike, not the worse by any means, but very unusual for this normally quiet part of the Carmarthenshire Coast....Bob
Just another rough day in the office for you then Bob...lol. Cracking selection of clips..in just my kind of weather...i just love storms !!

Larry R Wendell Jr

And what you do is Greatly appreciated, Bob! :o)
You're right, Bob. when nature speaks it is always she who has the last word !
Take care of yourself !

Je vais Philippe, il était tout à fait une expérience capturer ces scènes dans un tel mauvais temps .... Pob hwyl .... Bob

You are getting blown around there Bob.
to when i got up it was overcast and 38 f it is now about 40 wet snow all day.
Just a few days ago it was cold enough to freeze the nuts off a railway bridge.
It's nothing compared to what you get over there Wayne, but it's a big deal over here...Thanks as always....Bob
When I was a little baby seaman , in the Army , of all places! Sea like that was known as either "a bit lumpy" or " 'arry roughers" 'arry being Jackspeak for "very". Regards , Pete.
Thanks Pete, it wasn't so much the waves this morning that attracted me it was the strength of the winds whipping accross the harbour mouth...it was difficult to stand....Bob
You need to be careful out there Bob, but thanks for braving the elements to entertain us. Some moody sights there
Mike
Thanks Mike, I was glad I was able to take some shelter, otherwise I'd have done a Mary Poppins :o( Bob
Rain,Rain when is it going to stop!..Being a bit selfish now Bob but I hope it stops before Easter as were hoping to visit the Welshpool area.
Let's hope it improves by then Chris, can't get much worse....Bob
Conversation overheard at Burry Port:..Look out there on the Jetty what is that Chap doing?
Response: Oh that's Bob Masterman He will endure about any weather to make A TH-cam video... LOL Good Video Bob
What a brilliant response Walter...Thank you very much for that...Much appreciated my friend....Bob
That's what you might call a lively sea... and not a surfer in sight!
This weather is crazy Rob....so when it's sunny and calm, it will be nice to look back ....Bob
Brave man Bob
That's one word for it Brian, it was a little worrying when that wind started to blow up....Bob
wow 1st vew,, very nice bob
Thanks David, it's a bit wild out there today...Bob
You got a nice breeze there, Robert Masterman :-). I suppose, that was during low tide?
Erhard Baltrusch
The tide was on it's way out at the time of filming Erhard, high tide was at around 07.30 this morning....Thank you for your comments...Bob
Sea returns things that people threw into the water.
Very true, and the plastic items will never break down....Bob
