Placid, serenely quiet and a great shot in the bag... and one contented photographer I would say. Well done David.

Thanks Edward. Yes, after many previous attempts producing pretty standard results, I was quite pleased with this one. Now I just need a decent South Stack image to complete my set of Anglesey lighthouses 😊

I loved your first image of South Stack. It was worth fighting the wind!

Love the Penmon shot. It's on my hit list lol. I've had 2 attempts at South Stack, 1st one failed completely and the second one was a 'close but not close enough' Next time! It will happen the next time! lol

You're right Alan, both venues have all sorts of factors which can seriously influence the outcome. Let me know when you're next here and I can help with a few pointers ... 👍

That was very interesting in that my father in laws father was a pilot for the Bristol Channel and lived in Pill which is close to the Avonmouth Port and they were in the days of rowing boats to get to the ships coming to port and out. We now live near Sharpness where we watch ships being Piloted up the Severn River all the way from just off Barry where they pick up there pilots.

D Griff Gallery David, I am trying to put together a visit to Anglesey in early September. I would jump at the chance to meet up. If nothing else I’m sure you could help me to tighten up my itinerary so that I can make the most of my time. I’m sure all of the answers are in among your videos. I’ve already taken some inspiration from a few. I’ll continue to watch through your library. Cheers, Jeff.

I’ve been once to South Stack. I remember perching on the same edge, holding my breath and being constantly reminded by myself of my fear of heights. That last location at Penmon looked an excellent spot for breakfast and the shot was spot on. Very well composed indeed, lovely colours. I wish I had your hair problem. Nice work David 👍👍

Thanks a lot 👍I'd been waiting a while for the exact conditions to come together for the morning shoot, living local helps!

First thing first, if I have hair like you do I am No 1 between handsomeness people in the state of Colorado, for real!!!! You chose great location as always, cant go wrong with the seascape. The clouds and peaking light rays worked for you pretty well, like the shot! Morning outing was absolutely stunning.

I have to admit of not being a fan of South Stack if I am honest but I think the images you came away with were worthy of comp entries David... and have to say I was chuckling seeing you have a "flyaway" hair moment..lol Now the Penmon shot - was a corker and when I saw it earlier today I was looking forward to the vlog.. only to find it was an add-on to your Sth Stack edition. Still, that one image was a corker - and could see the satisfied face of a photographer who had enjoyed taking that one image - basking in your success, well done ;)

Thanks a lot Alan. Yeah the South Stack vlog would have been a total bust without the added bonus of Penmon. It's a common thing with a lot of the well known locations that there are very limited perspectives available. So I guess it always comes down to the light and weather conditions.

Hi David, what microphone are you using? Thank you

@DGriffGallery

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jon, It's a Rode lav mic, but I can't recall if I was running it into my phone or directly to camera back then! These days I couple it with the Rode Wireless Go system. That gives me excellent flexibility in terms of not having to be wired up to a device, but I can record audio directly onto any camera without needing to sync in post. The output quality is excellent, and performs extremely well, When coupled with a wind muff, in the sorts of conditions in which I often find myself. You'll find full details of all my gear on this page: dgriff.gallery/gear/. Hope this is helpful 😊👍
