  • On a trip to the Welsh mountains I mull over the importance of being in the right place at the right time, it really make a difference!

    Almost a year's worth of beautiful photographs in one walk. Nicely done.

    Really liking the walk and talk; your observations and advice. Perseverance pays off, trudging though the rain and all, and so does the planning. All of which you have shown today. Thanks for the video, Steve.

    Great Video - I love the channel. Your approach to landscapes is exactly what I aspire to when I'm out. You've inspired me to load up my Voightlander Bessa II with some 120 Agfa Copex Rapid and take it with me while I walk through the woods by the bay. Thanks again.

    Wonderful hike & very worth while photos. I live in Florida & we have a place called Mt Dora elevation 184 feet so the views aren't quite as good but Florida still has it's beauty in a different way.

    Lovely images especially at 7.50 (my fav), 11.46 and 13.09. The pictures coming out from BW film never ceases to amaze me. I love combining hiking with photography with my usual suspects being the 21, 50 and 90. And you're right, the many hours alone among nature is incredibly therapeutic. Peace of mind and having a camera is a bonus. Thanks

    I bought a Canon 5D Mark II infrared conversion some time ago for $295, which is a good price for getting a regular 5D Mark II and a great price for getting the conversion done. So double bonus. Another day when fortune smiled upon me. I have the Nikon 20mm f2.8 AF (Not D). They are a little cheaper now, I bought it some years ago. Still, they are cheaper than the AI-S lenses (though you could pound nails with one of those and the AF is plastic). On the plus side, it's as light as a fluff of cotton (well, a big fluff, maybe).

    • @SteveONions
      @SteveONions  Місяць тому

      That’s a good deal on the Canon Dann, the conversion alone would cost that.

    • @SteveONions
      @SteveONions  Місяць тому

      Thanks Stephen. I believe the current appearance is due to the glacier that retreated from the area about 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. Just shows that things are in a constant state of change, even if it’s measured in many lifespans.

    What a great outing for you with wonderful photos as a result. The 20mm was well worth the weight. And delightful commentary, as always. It was interesting seeing you bundled up with a toque as we're supposed to get up to 40 degrees here today and even warmer later in the week.

    • @SteveONions

    As you pointed to the clag at 7:13 it brought back my last trip to Snowdon in March - that was exactly where I was in the clag on that day...lol. 7:55 that must be where everyone stands to look at Tryfan...your B Roll camera must be in my tripod holes..lol. I was dead jealous seeing the views you got as to see, I didnt get the view I went for - Castell y Gwynt. Great walk and a very enjoable watch. atb Alan

      It’s definitely a case of careful timing Alan, I’m now picking routes that place me in the best spots at the right time. Often this means a boring early section but it pays off.

    • @SteveONions
      @SteveONions  24 дні тому +1

      Thanks Dave. I use disposable shower caps to cover my cameras in the rain, they are tiny when folded and the elastic makes it easy to keep on the camera.

      The images here are scans made using a digital camera from the original negative. I’d never have time to make darkroom versions and produce the videos 🙂
