  • I took my iPhone 12 Pro Max out for some sunrise photography in Conwy this week, as I couldn't sleep. Not the kind of photos I usually take, but I had fun all the same - hopefully you enjoy watching my efforts :)

    I think the very fact this video *doesn't* contain any sensational locations, super-expensive equipment or high production values makes it infinitely more immediate and relatable.
    The POV adds an intimacy to it and it's good to see a video that accurately reflects the times it's made in rather than some make believe fairy tale world (though those worlds *are* pretty.)
    I love super high quality captures of epic vistas but this was kinda comforting to watch, I think because it made me feel like we're all in the same boat.

    I love that kind of video, James. To learn how you see the scene and what take in your frame - and how the final picture looks like in comparison to the GoPro. The final versions are much brighter and with less contrast than I expected from video sequence before ... The Popsys-style ;-)

    Those baskets you thought were for mussels are actually lobster / crab pots - bait inside - lobster / crab crawls in via the narrow tube - can't get back out. Mussels are grown on suspended submerged lines, which they attach themselves to using filaments on the outside of the hinge of their shell.

    Charming location and great photos. Surprising that the yellow light by the tracks did not wash out - good enough dynamic range to hold up vs. the sky at that time. I saw several compositions there that I would have pursued, but moreover you did several I would not have thought of. Lots of non-landscape objects and near-abstract stuff. Good variety.
