      I passed on your comment and she was chuffed to hear you think that.
      I happen to agree with you of course :D. Even if she is a little too enthusiastic sometimes :D ;).
      Thank you for your lovely comment :)

    I enjoyed the video. Your mom is a real trooper, and pretty handy with the video cam.

    I hope to get to Skomer island as it us the best venue for puffins in England and Wales. Love the fine art editing Matt which is my style as well !

    Just found your channel, and glad that I did. Excellent video of your trip to Wales.
    I love Skomer too, although not been for a few years now. Good that you made it though, as you have some excellent images to show. I particularly like the Puffins and absolutely love that Seal shot, calling into the air with the waves crashing in the background....awesome imagery.
    I do a lot of Wildlife photography too, and have decided to video my own little adventures soon with various species and subjects, you have inspired me to do that! :-)
    Anyways, I have subbed you and awaiting more adventures from you.
    Your an excellent photographer with a talented eye for a shot, and I wish you all the best! :-)

      Wandering Wolf 2 thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Planning more and more. The next one I do will be a trip to Bushy Park. I just have to finish editing the photos 😊

    Matt, I'm thinking our respective mothers are twins, just separated by a few thousand kilometers and a few decades. Good job taking your mom.

    • @MattGouldphotography

      Ha, well I am not sure if two of them is a good thing or not ;). Thank you though, she is a legend to be fair. :D

    Loved the folding chair! My sister who is an artist has one and I'm jealous. Sorry about the No Boats. But turned out ok. Really like your black and whites. The puffins were great.

    • @MattGouldphotography

      Sadly that chair has now broken... gutted. Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video.

    Subscribed! Was right there with you through all the struggles mate! But worth it in the end, that shot was intense. Don't let the rain put you off though, look forward to seeing you back down this way

      @MattGouldphotography  6 років тому +1

      Well, I like to think I have improved slightly :D. But I hope you are enjoying them!
      I am terrible with this stuff but I think somewhere near Haverford West? That rings a bell at least :D

    This might be a longshot since this video is old, but how did you edit the thumbnail shot?
    Cheers!

    Well done for sticking with it. I live near Haverfordwest and have to say you were lucky that any of your days were dry. Rain is the price we pay for the beautiful lush green countryside. You should try coming down in September/October as the Seals have pups on the beaches all around Martins Haven where you were taking pictures of the Gannets. Sometimes the weather is quite nice then :-)) Thanks for the video

    • @MattGouldphotography
      @MattGouldphotography  7 років тому

      Hi Elaine, firstly I have to say how jealous I am that you live in such a beautiful wildlife rich area. Secondly, I plan to do just that, but next year when the budget allows again :D. I will be sure to put up a video purely on the seals in that very bay I visited :). Thank you for the comment, I am glad you liked the video :)

      Thank you Jillian Greenfield. I thought so, but I wasn't 100% cheers for confirming 😊

    Is that canon 500mm lens mark one or two?

    • @MattGouldphotography
      @MattGouldphotography  4 роки тому

      The IS mark 1 :) So, technically the mark 2 500mm F4.... Confusing a little :D

    I love the photo at 21:07. It's amazing. How did you get the black background? Sorry, I am a beginner.

    • @MattGouldphotography
      @MattGouldphotography  6 років тому

      Well, i have taken a few like this, most were using manual exposure and spot metering. This one however was done mostly with lightroom, an editing software :). And we all have to start somewhere :)
