Hi Derek yes you are quite correct, on this visit it was alittle difficult to get down to the actual pulpit due to condition and amount of people enjoying a day out down there. Plans have been made to return better equipped. I included the devils pulpit name in the title thumbnail to identify the area as I felt Finnich Glenn might get a little lost as it’s not as well known. But I did use the name in the main title. Thanks for your comment 👍👍

Glad you liked the images Malcolm. Thank you for the encouragement too 😊😊

Thanks John look forward to seeingit. Had a great time there thank you

Haha made me chuckle

Thank you so much Mr Sugden really appreciate it. Was so much fun to film… must leave more time next time!! Haha hope you’re keeping well.

@@SimonJerromes All good here. I've been dragging my feet again putting out videos but should be some coming in the next week.👍

Yeah it’s been tough here too. Work has been relentless. Am in Scotland tonight and hope to be meeting up with John McKenna tomorrow so hopefully have some content to share. DM me if you fancy heading out sometime, would be great to meet up with you if you fancy it.

@ Will do mate. Sounds great. I’ve just got back from a little family trip up to Scotland. A little photography and vlogging done. Going back up again at the end of the month with more serious photography in mind 👍🏻

Look forward to seeing your vlog 👍👍

Thank you so much Graham, i really appreciate your support

@@SimonFloryPhotography thank you Simon. It was a beautiful place to visit. Really want to go back with abit of fog or mist. 👍👍

Thank you 😊😊

Thank Lara, the girls really enjoyed it. 😊

Hi Dennis, I’m itching to get out there again with it and get lots more images but not had chance yet!! It’s a beautiful lens by the way ! Do you do any macro photography?

@SimonJerromes Hi Simon. Yes I try to do some macro photography. I took some shots of some ferns unraveling in my local woods in the spring.

Do you share your work anywhere Dennis, would be great to see it👍

Yes it kinda reminded me of that too. Hoped the story wouldn’t be too similar. The girls enjoyed them selves and it was great to see them take a real interest in making films. Glad you liked it 👍👍 hope you’re keeping well

Thanks Paul much appreciated 👍👍

Thank you so much Carlos I really appreciate you comment. Something a little different and we had a blast putting it together. Can’t beat a bit of Black and White!! 😊👍

@@JohnMcKennaPhotography cheers John appreciate it. It was so nice for the girls to be so involved… even doing the voice overs .. great fun 👍👍

Thank you Andrew. It was a lot of fun to make and the kids enjoyed it too and it’s something they looked forward to sharing👍👍

Hi Smiffy good to hear from you. There were a couple of reasons I felt this lens was for me. Firstly it needed to be robust, with various projects coming up I felt this needed to be high on the list what with its metal body. Another reason I didn’t pick up the normal laowa 100mm lens everyone gets is that the element at the end of the lens looks to be open. If you’re under slinging the camera, so it’s close the ground I felt there was a chance of small bits getting in the end. I understand you can put a filter as protection on the end, but I just felt this wasn’t for me. Also the image quality coming out of this thing is incredible. I thought being a manual lens would be some kind of hindrance but I couldn’t be more wrong! With the x2 macro too I seems perfect for what I have coming up! I hope that goes some way to answering your question 👍👍

Thanks Lara glad you enjoyed it 😊😊

Thanks John. It’s been awhile!!

Thanks for the tip, I’m definitely going back there again it was amazing. I parked in the bus terminal halfway up to the left of the site. I will check out your suggestions for my next visit. Glad you like the film 😊😊

@@SimonJerromes thats the best spot -I wrongly assumed you'd parked at Llanberis !

@@PaulWilkinson Hi Paul yes I am aware… well spotted…. I didn’t notice it when I first edited the image and it wasn’t until I had included it in the film along with another image that had masking issues and I watched it back on a large screen that I noticed it. By then The video had been published. Haha lessons were learnt and a closer inspection of my masking technique has been implemented! It’s a great learning curve!! Thanks for the comment really appreciate it. 👍

Thank you Simon much appreciated… hopefully it made abit of sense!! Haha 👍👍

Cheers Garry that means a lot. It was great fun to shoot… shame I missed the guys in the wire jumping off and parachuting down! I thought they were just inching their way across!!! 👍👍

@@SimonJerromes Parachutes!! That would have been amazing to see. 👍🏻

Thanks Paul really appreciate it 👍👍

Thanks Dennis it’s an incredible location! 👍👍

Thank you so much. It’s an incredible location well worth the trip 👍👍

Hi Peter thank you so much for your comments. Glad you like the images. Fascinating location well worth the visit if you get chance 👍

@@SimonJerromes I'm way down in West Cornwall but did visit Snowdonia a few years back and went to Dinorwig. mostly seascapes for me down here but plenty of old tin mine workings.

@@petermaddern6653 haven’t been to Cornwall in quite a few years, growing up in Devon we used to visit quite often! I think a visit to your amazing coastline will be high on the list. Any recommendations? Cheers

Thank you so much so glad you liked the film 👍👍

Haha. Cheers John glad you liked it. Not sure what idea you wanna nick but feel free!!🤣🤣🤣

@@HunterMcDowellPhotography Hi Hunter great to hear from you. Glad you like the video.. it’s been awhile since I was last able to get out with the camera. I’m pleased you like the images too! These abandoned quarries are really interesting. All good here thanks and I hope is is well with you and yours 👍👍

Hi Steven thank you so much for your encouragement, it really does mean a lot. I’m so glad you like the images in this film. I really had some amazing conditions and there is so much to see at this location. Am looking forward to going back later in the year 👍👍

Hi Brian thank you for your comment. Yes I like the first of the boat shots but the curve of the reflection in the second shot I find really appealing which made me rather indecisive about them!!!!. Glad you liked the images in this video thank you 👍👍

Hi Jeremi thank you so much for your comment. So glad you enjoyed the video. Makes it all worth while if somebody gets something out of it 👍. Apologies for the late response as am away for a few days break with the family. Funnily enough we are back up in Scotland and planning a trip down the Skyfall rd for tomorrow!! No camera on this visit sadly!!

Hi Antoine I’m glad you like this video. It’s such a magic woodland. I popped there again the day before yesterday, as I’m down in the West Country for a few days visiting family. If ever you find yourself over here in the UK feel free to contact me and I’ll gladly show you few good places to take images. 👍👍

Thank you Antoine I really appreciate such a lively comment. I’ve not had chance to get them printed out yet but it will be nice to see them large enough to put on the wall! So glad you enjoyed the film. Hope to share more with you later in the month. 😊👍

@@DarktableLandscapes haha thank you . Definitely going to make plans to go in Autumn. I went in January this year and the snow, frost and on occasion clear skies made for some amazing shots👍👍

@@SimonJerromes I'm lucky enough to live here and spend the summer drumming my fingers waiting for the foliage to change and snow to hit the tops. Not long now!

@@DarktableLandscapes you are very lucky. I’m fortunate that my work brings me up quite often and when it does it try and spend at least an extra day there and make sure to pack my camera! Am due to bring the kids up camping later this month too. Can’t wait!

@@SimonJerromes hope the weather is kind and the light is spectacular!

Thank you Michael glad you liked it. Thanks for the comments on the other videos too! Really encouraging thank you 👍👍👍

Hi Rohit thank you for your comment. I didnt use any long exposure settings on these images but i always have my camera on a tripod so the exposure settings could be on the slower side and its useful because i did exposure bracket a number of these shots, normally 5 images over a +1/-1 stop of exposure and blended in Lightroom. I only have two 'goto' lenses...24mm GM and a 100-400 GM..although i recently remaber i have a Ziess Battis 16-70 on a vlogging camera i no longer use, but i still forget to take it out and use it!!!

You’re welcome. Thank you for you encouraging words 👍👍

Hey Hunter great to hear from you! Glad you like the images. Scotland is such an amazing place. 👍👍

@@SimonJerromes yes indeed! I hope to visit someday!

Be sure to make contact when you do come over. Be an honour to show you around 👍👍

Thank you Pierre I agree 👍👍👍

Hi Dennis good to hear from you. Yeah I like abit of black and white. I do have another black and film planned over the next few weeks which I hope will pan out well. Glad you like the Boat shots it was such a beautiful ship just had to add a white vignette to add alittle class haha 😜 👍👍

Thank you so much I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I’m pleased you find my approach helpful as there loads of videos giving advise on composition etc. So happy to have you on board and am looking forward to share more with you. Would love to visit the USA one day, it’s top of my bucket list! 👍👍

Thank you Darren really appreciate that. Glad you liked the video. I was pretty lucky the vessel was moored so close to shore and I very nearly didn’t take the shot. Glad I turned around and found a place to ditch the car! 👍

Hi Antigone thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so glad you like my work. I would very much like to see the work you e done over the years. Do you specialise in any genre? Landscapes, architecture or portraits??? I would like to visit a darkroom and see how printers carry out their craft. Such an amazing thing to see. I’m glad you like the channel, it can be rather difficult to find topics that are different from the many other great videos out there! It makes it all worth while receiving comments such as yours many thanks Simon 👍👍

Hi thank you for your comment. Yes the images are alittle contrasty one in particular is a little over cooked shall we say for my taste but I was trying something new. There are a few tweaks I’d like to do to the images where the Lightroom masks aren’t quiet doing their thing and it’s not until you put them up on a big tv you actually notice them. I’m enjoying the learning curve and the constructive comments are helping me a great deal. Thank you 👍👍👍

I quite like the contrast. Many subjects when done in black and white can look flat or even muddy. I find this true in landscape especially. Too many similar colors, mainly greens. Bumping up the contrast keeps it interesting. For me it’s a job well done. 👍

Thank you Bill much appreciated. I try and stay clear of the ‘HDR’ look where possible although I did include an image in that style in the video,and prefer the dodge and burn style. I think maybe because it’s been used since the beginning of time! 👍👍

Hi Malcolm glad you enjoyed the video, I do enjoy abit of black and white photography every now and then! Yes I’m torn between the ship being framed with the trees but I also like the vessel complimenting the tree too! I also like the shape of the Bow and its reflection!!! Frustrating haha 😜
