- Landscape Photography, photographing the Church in the Sea Wales. I treck to Anglesey to photograph the amazing St Cwyfan's Church. My aim was to capture amazing Landscape Pictures of the Church in the Sea.
In this video, I captured the splendour of the Welsh wonder. It was cold and I was up against time, but I think I did a pretty decent job. Now I know the layout of the land I can't wait to go back for round two of me shooting Landscape Photography in Wales The Amazing Church in the Sea!

Photographing the Church in the Sea, Wales - It's a short one!
Here's a question for you... Did the Sewer outlet work? I'm still in two minds.
My good pal Jason (Jason Jones Photography) did an amazing job here too TAKE A LOOK th-cam.com/video/yfEoLUuQZOk/w-d-xo.html
Gary Gough thanks....that sewer shot worked very well
I liked the sewer drain shot, but thought the church is a bit lost in it. It is so far away and kind of blends into the clouds. Nice shot anyway, and great video, thanks!
The shot worked, leading lines at a diagonal draw in the eye. The mixed light is a little confusing, The sewer outlet is a bit bright for the composition to be entirely effective...we are trained to see depth with darks in the front and lights in the back. bring down the light on the sewer and puff up the light in the still water off in the right side and see if that brings you closer to one mind. You have a fantastic eye nonetheless. Bravo!
Worked well Gary. Shame about that cloud on the horizon :(
I thought it was a beautiful view.
Of the many youtube photographers I follow, Gary you are the one I find the most inspiring to make me want to get out and shoot. Your shots are all top notch; not just something to fill out a video. Your relaxed presentation style is great. Thanks for sharing!
Christmas card is in the post. Thank you so much for saying such nice things, that's very kind 👍
Very clever opening video sequence Gary, and the sewer outlet pipe image works really well, as does the final image.
Cheers Paul. I had 2 other changes I filmed at the beginning but I messed up doh! :)
Who would of thought a storm drain could make a great image, great work again Gary.
Thanks Peter
Stunning images from such a photogenic location. Yes the outlet shot worked for me. Well done Gary.
Thank you Douglas, cheers
Yeah the sewer outlet worked really well. Amazing shots, loved the second last one .
Cheers Dan. My fav too
Great to have you back Gary! You were missed!
Why thank you
Another cracking Vlog .For me, the sewer shot was my favourite and I loved the music.
a lot of love for my music choices these days 👍 Cheers Joe
Cracking images, the outlet shot was stunning with the motion capture. What a quirky location. Looked beautiful, now added to the hitlist!
Cheers Darren, It's a must. I can't wait to revisit :)
Up to the usual high standard, worth waiting for.
Cheers Phil
Just beautiful Gary. I love Wales and Anglesey. Thankyou for the experience.
Cheers Drew
That was fun! And yes - the sewer outlet shot did work, IMO. Well done.
Thank you again 👍
Hi Gary, simple but very nice pictures with really perfect music. Great work!
Thank you Stephan, very kind
Loved the outlet, very calming vlog.
Cheers Andy
That final shot was fantastic well done
Thank you
Beautiful images Gary. Really love the shot with the sewage outlet. What an unusual location!
Very unusual Trevor. That's why I earmarked it when I saw it on the Coast program. It's just an awesome place
Stunning , everything about this is just STUNNING, the shots you got worked soooo well and the music complimented it all.
Cheers Scott, very kind
Another amazing fantastic vlog. The last few pictures did it for me, awsome!
Cheers Wyn
Loved the episode Gary and the images, especially the long exposures at the end. It certainly looked an interesting location. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Scotty, very kind 👍
This was so beautifully made, so inspiring! Thanks for your work!
Thanks Crystal
Beautiful location & beautiful photos!!
Thank you Judy
Excellent stuff, Gary.. As always. Fantastisc landscape and pics..
Thank you kindly Roger
Done it again Mr G, another great location, another great vlog and plenty of great pictures. Liking the quick way of getting dressed at the beginning of the video. Defo loving the shots once the tide came in.
Cheers Tony, it's a much better scenario than getting undressed at the beginning. Imagine the decline in subs ;)
hehe good to dress well for braving the cold :) Epic Intro, Great Video, and photos. Thanks for sharing.
I had another 2 getting dressed links I didn't use. User error, doh!
I was lucky enough to visit this amazing place in the summer and you’ve done it proud. Great drone footage and really like the sunset shots. Always enjoy your vlogs especially when its somewhere I know.
Cheers Gary. It was my first time there but when I arrived I just couldn't believe how fantastic it was.
The vlog is very nicely produced, looks like you had a lot of fun with it.
Had a few issues I wasn't particularly happy with but thanks Patrick. 👍
I have got to say i agree, with you on that shot. its one of the best i have seen of the church... i got nothing when i was there got to go back again
Cheers Paul. The low cloud was really annoying, such a shame
the sewer shot worked...really well.
.great vlog as always
Thank you, very kind of you to say
Yes the sewer worked. Loved the video work and the shots were great.
Cheers Mark, very kind
Amazing vlog Gary blew me away...no it really is that good flicking from b+w to colour image and the music made the shot come alive I think. Thanks and Wow 💪
Thanks for saying, cheers 👍
Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Tony
Gary, I have to give it to you, ... even sewer you can make look good !!!Great images
Thank you 👍
What an amazing location and a great video too! Thanks Gary!
Thank you kindly Kim xx
Inspiring images Gary and using the drain outlet pure genius.
Cheers Chris
Loved the video and the images. you know you are on to something when you can make a drain look great...LOL
lol Cheers John 👍
Thumbs up ere' Gary, great video vlog! Nice work with drone! Great set of images and a great location! Many thanks for sharing your work 😎👍
Cheers. Didn't have the drone set correctly. Here's to the next flight 😉 Quick question... do you use ND filters? Do you shoot in Manual? Do you stick to the framerate equation?
I don't own the Mavic but I don't like using ND filters myself. I shoot in auto - check out the Polar Pro app, will be very useful for your ND filters for the settings and frame rate! :)
Wow... that is a beautiful location. And that camerawork at the beginning was awesome!
Not as good as I had hoped if I'm honest. I forgot to up the frame rate of my drone and so couldn't use it in slow motion like i had hoped.
Colour me impressed anyway!
Fantastic vlog and awesome images, love your favourite and the sewer one definitely works!
Thanks Jamie 👍
Beautiful images Gary … all of them !
Thanks Khalid, very kind
Great video as always Gary! The sewage thing surprisingly worked. Looking forward to the Thomas Heaton night, can't wait to meet everyone
Cheers John, me too btw
A great job Gary ,very professional.
Thank you Malcolm
Another good one Gary, nice finished images.
Cheers Phil
Another great video Gary - how the hell did I miss the night with you and Thomas Heaton, oh well if you do another - cheers mate and keep the vids coming you deserve all the success
Cheers Ian. More nights at the studio with other guests coming up
That looks a fab location Gary and you did it justice. Fantastic shots, been wanting to visit Anglesey for a long time it looks a cracking place
So many places to photograph. Already looking forward to heading back there
great video and lovely images Gary. I was very unsure about the sewer shot until I saw the image itself - very nice indeed. My favourite is your nominated favourite - really lovely image; I thought the foreground balanced the church nicely, whereas in a couple of the earlier images I found the rock in the foreground a little too large. love your work Gary, many thanks
Cheers David. I think that's a fair shout. Sometimes Landscapes can feel a little cluttered. Prefer it with the tide in 👍
Hi Gary, while you were describing the sewer shot it sounded an appalling idea, I might have walked away and how wrong I would be! you have some nice shots there and I might now revisit the sewer outflows on the beach near here! see you soon Del.
Cheers Derek, see you soon 👍
Great and inspiring vlog again Gary, what a privilage it is for you to live in the UK and are able to access all these photogenic sceneries. Getting the long exposure fever as well, love to do that kind of photography since a couple of months..
It still involves a lot of travelling but it's about getting out there!
Quite a lot of my shots look like sewage ! but your sewer shot really worked. Another great video
See what you did there Gordon :) Cheers 👍
Great video Gary and diggin the fancy bits. like you, I loved the last shot with the milky water surrounding the church. Great Vlog as always!
Cheers Simon. Had a few issues with my new vlogging gear, that's why it was a little short and seems unfinished. :)
It never occurred to me, other than the sound issue you pointed out!
Great video and beautiful photos as always Gary. Keep up the great work. Your enthusiasm is infectious. All the best !
Gil from Largo, FL, USA
aka SemperFiGuy
Hi Gil, Thank you once again. I appreciate it everytime you watch my videos but more importantly for taking the time to comment. Thank you 👍
Great video and images Gary. Loved this
Thank you Jim 👍
Well done Gary, I also liked your outflow - shot and your fave was also my fave. Pretty cool place indeed!
Thank you kindly Allan, cheers 👍
PS. Love your passion and enthusiasm.
Thanks again, Gary Gough
Cheers Jeff
Great trick, jumping up and changing jackets. Thomas(you know who I'm talking about) does that too. Adds some humor to the thing. This is after ten seconds of the vid, I'm sure there will be a hundred other things that will catch my eye.
Well, I guess. The church built up on that huge berm is unbelievable. I am going to look up the history of that.
Cheers Jeff, Not seen Tom do that. It's nothing new but it's a lot of fun doing it. I had 2 other things I filmed but I messed up DOH!
Some crackin shots there Gary 👌 7:27 That'll do! 👍
I first heard of this place on BBC2 Coast, excellent series for location scouting 👍
Same here Andy. Jason did a fantastic vlog there. I have a link to his video in my first comment above. Take a look
Awesome once again!
Thank you kindly 👍
The close up of the church in one of those last shots is a belter! Great shots again, Gary. You must put in some mileage for your art mate :)
Cheers Dave and yes I do. It's difficult to lever it all in sometimes
Cracking image's at the end Gary.
I think the sewer outlet could work well in B & W but it's down to your personal preference 😊
You might be right Mike about the B&W Mike, cheers 👍
Fabulous vlog, very tranquil and calming excellent to watch, images as always Gary first class.
My favorite so far. The setting info that you put up brilliant, ideal for when out and about
and experimenting.
Thanks Carol. Have you seen the IOS video I made when we were there?
Yes watched them all, just a bit jealous for those that are joining you on your next trip up to Sky, we are hoping to go back up maybe beginning of March.

Already looking forward to it :) You'll have a great time too
The sewer outlet for me mate awesome great vlog
Thank you
Cracking images gary
Cheers Andy 👍
Welcome to my hood!! 😁
I love the place. Already looking forward to another visit.
Beautiful photographs, I enjoy your work. Thanks
Gary Gough ..
Hi grandpa. See i never miss ur single vlog
I noticed. Thanks as always for your support 👍
I really like the first black & white, with the large rock in the foreground. Another wonderful video! What a stunning location!
Beautiful shots
Gary,
I really appreciate your telling the story from the "git-go." You're like the postman, whether heat, cold, rain, hail, or gloom of night, you always deliver the "mail."
And about "mail," your Christmas card is outbound this week!
Thank-You,
Mike
Not quite like a real postman. In the UK Postmen wear shorts, no matter the weather. I'm not that brave :)
Very nice Gary! I like your way of seeing things...If i may comment, i think that you should have placed the camera on the right of the rock (at 4:52) taking in the reflection of the small pool of water surrounding it. With a proper angle, it could mirror the sky making the whole image better (imho) by adding another strong front element.
You may comment indeed. I took the shot from both sides of the rock but decided to process the one on the right. I can't remember why I decided on that, as opposed to the other, I'll have to look at them both again. Always happy to listen to comments, engagement is what it's all about. Cheers
What a place for a church! Nice production values on the vlog, I liked the B&W ones better but there wasn't a bad one among them..
Very kind Bill, Cheers
That was one of my fav videos of yours. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼
Cheers Craig, thanks
Great content once again Gary... I enjoyed them all btw. The close-up long exp. with the sea coming in, you nailed it sir!
The Church in the Sea, what a strange yet beautiful place to be...
Bill Farr...:>)
Cheers Bill. Yeah, it's an amazing place. Already looking forward to a return visit.
Hi Gary... I was compelled to watch this a 2nd time & glad I did! What I see is you moving around a bit looking for new or better angles. The level horizon as you slowly move across it, one can see the photograph developing into something really special. Nice drone work along with the soothing music tended to marry it all together nicely.
Well done,
Bill Farr...
Core blimey ...... it works! Beautiful pictures.
Cheers Dean 👍
They all worked for me. Excellent pictures. Always enjoy your blogs.Thanks Gary. 👍
Cheers Mike
Gorgeous images. Your "my favorite " is a fantastic choice.
Glad you like it, cheers
Nice location look very familiar...good shots Gary...looks like the wind and water sound was getting in on the back end of your mic
Hi Jason. I put a link to your video in my comment, hope you don't mind. Yeah, I just don't understand it. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed but there was wind noise evident too and yet look at my camera strap, it wasn't moving. I had the wind muff on too pfffff
Absolutely your best video Gary. Loved every image, Great work!
Cheers Graham. I'm not 100% happy with it if I'm honest. I had gear issues. Cheers
Another great vlog, thanks Gary
Cheers Andy 👍
Great work Gary, I don't think the sewer outlet shot worked, it distracted from the church for me. I liked your favourite as well.
Cheers Clive. I know what you mean about the distraction 👍
Great vlog as ever Gary and some gorgeous images
Cheers Dean 👍
Beautiful picture and video.
Hi Ramesh, Thank you very much for saying. Thank you also for taking the time to check my Instagram account out too. That's very kind. Thank you for your support. Join me here on Facebook too if you like?... facebook.com/groups/GaryGoughPhotography/
What a lovely set of photographs. I do wish you would be a bit more frequent with your postings. Thank you.
I'll try Alex but I work too :)
I really enjoyed this one too, great job! Production quality is really excellent, it's great to see these getting better and better.
Trying new gear. I really bolloxed up on this one. unfortunately, I have loads of content I can't add because of focus and framerate issues. My bad, DOH! This is why the video end prematurely :)
Great job, the photos look great.
Cheers Tony
Awesome vlog Gary love all the images. The sewer image works as well. The first image give real perspective to the size of nature.
Cheers Tim. Totally agree btw. 👍
Outlet looks good! It’s not sewage though! Just a culvert from land drains.
I feel educated now cheers. It smelt a bit dodgy :)
Great video as always buddy :)
Paul G Johnson - Cheers Paul, very kind again xxx
great vlog gary yes the sewage outlet shot really worked well great shot, also loved the 30 sec image "your favourite", also a great intro really well put together
Cheers Jim. I messed up with 2 other getting ready clips too. User error. It's not as easy as you think :)
Video should be called, how to make a great photo of sewer....😉😉😉. Have to agree with you about the favourite, worthy of a place on the wall.
Great pics and video as always.
Cheers
John
Cheers John, very kind
I like your different images of St Cwyfan's Church from what I have seen before.
Cheers Glen, very kind
Gary.... super shots. Really liked your composition. You have such a relaxed no big ego style in your vlogs but so many of your shots are really epic. I also like the way you support up and coming photography youtubers such as Award winning Steve Mattheis (excellent wildlife and landscapes). You give back to the community. Kudos to you....
Cheers. Steve is just brilliant. He's really laid back. Great photographer.
Hmmmm, a bored cat? Maybe I need to drink more coffee...
Thanks again for the plug!
lol didn't mean for it sound disrespectful :)
I can never tell with that British sense of humor... ha!
Darn. Best if you blame it on the Canadian I think.....
Great photos Gary,snowdon in the background lovely,don't normally think about the music but great again,loved it all well done
Thank you kindly. I'm a Welsh man and I haven't photographed or even climbed Snowdon, that's embarrassing. I'll sort it in the new year
Gary Gough I wish, don’t think il ever walk it now but the train mmmmm 👍😄
Lol I am Welsh as well,taken 2 school trip driving a coach up to pen y pass but could not go 🙈😔
Oh noooo. That's a shame. A train you say? I will have to Google it
Gary Gough not the same as walking prob don’t see enough but better than not getting to the summit 👍😄
You certainly saved the best for last...
Cheers Bill, very kind. Thanks for the support. Happy New Year
Welcome back Gary, was beginning to get withdrawl symptoms...lol. Fantastic images as always. I have been wanting to visit here for quite a while but not managed it yet. Thanks.
Really is worth a visit Alan 👍
Hi Gary..stunning location the sewer shot works really well in my opinion, as do all the others... particularly the ones after the tide came in.
Cheers John. I prefer the tide-in shots too if I'm honest
Cracking intro and some fab images Gary. Still marvelling at the drone footage at the beginning - still can't work out how you did that? Visited this location back earlier in the year and it was a blue sky day & to be honest I was not very inspired - seeing these images I didn't try hard enough I reckon :)
It's an amazing place. I was taken back by just how unusual it was. Can't wait to return there :)
Great work Gary. I thought the sewer outlet was topclass.
Thank you John. Sorry for the late reply 👍👍
Another set of stunning images Gary. If I were to hyper-critical (which I'm not) the red "mast" of lights in the background caught my eye, once seen always dragging me back to it. Great vlog as usual, well done!
Cheers Rich, I did think about removing it :)
Very nice indeed. Next time don't take so long...LOL
lol Cheers Steve
Nice shoot Gary
Cheers Andrew
Take a look at Jason Jones channel he one an award with this pic in Landscape and outdoor photography magazine, his pic is a different composition too yours and its magic. regards, Colin.
Hi Colin. I linked Jason's video in my first comment above. It was a fantastic vlog and picture. I saw his vlog after seeing Robson Green's "Coast" program. Jason is a friend and all-round great guy. Fellow Welshy too ;)
