Thanks for watching!

You must be really proud of these shots but what is even more impressive is your standard of cinematography. I love the little pauses where you just film yourself taking a little break and waiting. Usually I hate slow-mo but these really work as they are just brief and illustrative of what much of landscape photography is about; its not all about staring at a histogram.
Another great vlog Gary, glad you stopped on the way up, don't think anyone could of resisted that one !
Oh yes well worth waiting for... The light on the trees... You were lucky to have it all to yourself, there's normally loads of picnicers, even numpty's swimming in the pools...
Great video, totally blown away by the location and the shots. Well worht the effort.
savagebanana2 it is a truly beautiful location 👍
Really a great series of images! I love the monochrome waterfall photo at ~13:48 most - what a fantastic composition!
Christian Irmler - Landscape Photography Vlog thanks very much, very kind of you to say 👍
Wow what a beautiful location....the colour of the water is immense. Great vlog and images 😀
Warner-Tate Photography it really is amazing. I thoroughly recommend going there if you get the chance 👍
Beautiful work mate, those waterfalls looked fantastic 👍👍😊
Paul Bell cheers mate, it’s hard to believe how aqua those pools are!
That lovely bridge which people come from miles away to capture - you really don't like it?!! ... sssshhhh don't tell anyone, but, dare I whisper? Neither do I, well, in terms of an image that is 😊👍
D Griff Gallery exactly! It’s a nice enough bridge but it covers the falls too much, image wise.
Another great video Gary, you have sold Snowdonia to me for my next photo trip, amazing place!
martin amery you won’t regret it mate, it’s a fantastic place 👍
Firstly you looked as sexy as ever in your Sponsored jumper, 😍 secondly! This and your last vlog had me glued! Great cinematography wonderful balance of chats and details. To finish with excellent photography 👌 class Gary.
Gary is my cinematography teacher. I've been studying his vlogs with hope that a little bit will sink in and I can improve my own productions. ;-)
Cheers mate, I feel like perhaps my editing style has slightly changed over the past couple of vlogs and I'm definitely finding myself filming a lot more b-roll on location. I must contact Adidas about my contract ;-)
@@MikeGoodwin thanks so much mate. You know that any time you need any advice you only have to ask :-)
Very informative and you got some great images of the falls.
Thanks Greg, very kind of you to say :-)
Great shots again Gary some wonderful colours but the monochromes stood out for me. Had something of your moody street shots.👍
Thanks mate, there's definitely a similar processing style there :-)
Stunning location Mate, it's not my list for my visit next year. I really enjoyed viewing your images and it was the effort to get that final composition. Looking forward to our trip on Saturday for some waterfall action!!! Cheers, 👍📸
Rob Outen Photography cheers mate, see you soon 👍
Hi Gary. I am a new subscriber and enjoy your relaxed style. I never tire of the Watkin Path so I really enjoyed your vlog. Kind regards- Rob
Thanks very much Rob, and welcome to the channel :-)
Great video, Gary - one of my favourite walks. I have been up as far as the old quarry workings in Cwm Llan.
Another great vlog mate!
Love the images, particularly the last one. Keep it up!
Barry Ward cheers mate, very kind 👍
excellent vlog Gary some belting images
Mark McNeill cheers mate, very much appreciated 🙂
Crackin' shot at 13:52 Gary 👍
Cheers mate and don't tell anyone but that's the only shot from the vlog that I actually think is any good ;-)
I stood and waited for the light yesterday and it just got worse so I gave up and came home with the hump lol...This is on my list when I next visit Snowdonia for sure
Jamie Overland ah mate... Did you get a vlog out of it?
Re: Photography No mate, filmed a bit of b roll and a couple of pieces to camera but gave up. Never mind - will have to try again this weekend!
Awesome video, fantastic location, and some beautiful images certainly worth waiting for the light! I dont think I liked the bridge either!
John Pettigrew thanks very much John, very kind if you to say. It is a very nice bridge but I just masked too much of the falls behind.
Stunning images
Thanks Ken, very kind of you to say :-)
Lovely set of photos great place 👍
A stunning vlog. Loved it from beginning to end. Be proud Gary, VERY, VERY, proud.
Steve Mozzie cheers mate that’s very, very kind 👍

Great set of images, love the Watkins path, did it a few years ago now , love the waterfall images , your hard work was all worth while mate !
Lee Pelling thanks mate, very much appreciated. I wasn’t 100% sure how I’d cope but to be honest it wasn’t too taxing 👍
Another cracking video, i have been going to Snowdonia for well over ten years now and have yet to visit the Watkin path. :o A little tip re the 3 stop ND filter. If you have one, just use a 3 stop grad turned upside down. :)
Nice Gary. Some great images. Well done up there.
Cheers mate, not as much altitude as you get but I do my best ;-)
Re: Photography it’s about attitude, not altitude. 👍
One of your best ever videos, superb images, you must be pleased with all the shots, where does the Watkins path actually start Gary, I must do this walk soon, regards.
colin clewley if you drive past Llyn Dinas towards Llyn Gwynant there’s a car park on the right just before the Llyn (it’s actually called Watkin Path car park in Google maps) From there you head back on foot towards Dinas over a small bridge and cross the road. You’ll then see the gate where the path starts 👍
Many thanks
Love the colours in the pools.
Definitely what to do the walk
martin sanderson I would very much recommend it 👍
To be honest, I struggled with that bridge. As nice as it looks by eye, trying to convert it into an image is quite challenging.
Really enjoyed the video Gary, especially the B roll. Did you colour grade? As it looked superb.
Talk soon mate 👍
I agree mate, I think it's because it's so angular compared to the rest of the scene, also it obscures some of the best of the falls behind. I did colour grade it mate, I used one of the Lutmaster presets, but I can't remember which one of the top of my head...
Spoiler Alert : I laughed at that point :) That 15 mins seemed to go very quickly if I am honest, so I must have enjoyed it. I'll be honest when I visited the aqua pool and bridge earlier this year I felt very much the same about the bridge - although I did take the shot. In that location I would lve to see them build a little packhorse bridge, what a transformation that would be - but I am just being a fussy togger I suppose. There was one other photographer there when I reached it and he was sat just looking and taking snaps with his mobile.. .. as I chatted to him I found out he was with a workshop led by David Ward & Valda Bailey. At the time of speaking with him he had an exhibition on at Joe Cornish's gallery so I felt a little out of place with witrh small 4/3rdss set up so wandered off..lol. Anyway, I enjoyed what you took at that spot and the earlier shots walking up.... It's a pity you didn't get further up, I managed another hour of walking before coming back - it flattened right out a bit further up - next time go staright for it!
Alan Coles next time I’m definitely heading further up!! I don’t mind the bridge itself but it gets in the way of the falls... I’m sure if you told that other tog who you were and showed him your Flickr feed he might have felt the same and wandered off himself 😉
Lovely video! That looks like a seriously chunky tripod. Is it heavy?
Wild Bill thanks very much 👍 It’s not too heavy as it’s carbon fibre.
Wow, I Like your photos, what a marvelous video. I adore the story too. It will be great if you looked at my channel to see if you are fond of any of my videos. Keep up the good work! I look forward to your next video.
