AMAZING bad weather for landscape photography in Snowdonia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лис 2017
- Snowdonia in Northern Wales is perfect for epic landscape photography. If you manage to get some "bad" weather with showers and low clouds you're in luck for creating some spectacular photos. In this episode we'll visit the Lone Tree, The Boat House at Llyn Ogwen, A view towards the mountain Tryfan and I'll tell the story about my hikes to the top of the Glyders. We will start out at Tintern Abbey in Southern Wales. As always the video is full of tips and tricks in regard to composition, light and practical stuff related to photography. In many ways this video could work as a landscape photography tutorial.

WOW! WOW! WOW! What an awe inspiring vlog Mads! The images, the music, the cinematography and your dialogue combine to make one of the best vlogs I have watched this year......seriously! You actually spilled blood for this one mate! This video contains some of the best images you have ever made, quite brilliant!
I wait, with baited breath, for whatever comes next but please take care!🍀👌
HAha thank you so much Andy! I did spill a bit of blood yeah, but I'll be fine for now as I'm back home in safe little Denmark ;)
yes and leaving plates in the toilet is bad news!!
I like 2 and 4 the most. number two because the tree is the star of the photo, and the colors adds to the atmosphere. number four because of all the lead in lines, and the different layers of the photo. Nice and dramatic sky.
Thank you so much for your thoughts Jacob! :)
Number 5 for sheer awesomeness.
I have walked these amazing mountains so many times over the last 3 decades but seeing them through fresh eyes was a real pleasure.
#2 is very good because the tree being retained from falling by the left mountain, great work Mads!
Thanks a lot Michel! :)
Number 4 for me. Love the water and mountains. Also good to see more 100% of you to camera. Shows so much more of what you needed to do to get the epic shots.
Very happy you enjoy the vlog parts :)
Compulsive viewing Mads. He who dares, wins!
Thanks a bunch Tad! :)
Taking a handicap and turning it into your style. Love your desire to go beyond the golden hours of perfect sunshine.
Thank you very much, Jordan! Yes I think it's very important. I most often prefer this style over the classic golden hour shots :)
Number 5 is my favourite. I have climbed Tryfan many times and in all weathers and it is always rewarding. Love the moody sky contrasting with the smooth water of Lyn Ogwen. The foreground stream nicely balances with the dark mountain. All of your photos have a dark foreboding quality which strikes a chord in me. Thank you.
After so many episodes, I'm still surprised how you managed to create such an intense 30 minute video, I haven't checked the time not even once while watching, phew! Great work again :) Number 5 works best for me, all the elements beautifully composed together :)
Thank you so much Nina! But really happy the 30min didn't feel boring :) It's also four days of footage put into one ;)
What a journey. Sofie is truly a trooper. Beautiful landscape and images.
A great video for a number of reasons. Not only is this about photography, but also what natural treasures we have in the UK. The nice touch is Made stating how long it will take to hike, the clothes you will need, footway, first aid all of the things that might be forgotten in a pursuit of getting that epic photo !
Well done Mads
Another great episode from the series Mads, a fantastic area I've visited before but I've not visited some of the locations you did here - you must do loads of planning for your trips!
Number 5 for me this time, I love the composition and how the shape of the river reflects the shape of the mountains forming an oval shape in the image.
Looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks a bunch for your thoughts Dan :)
I do quite a lot of planning yes :)
This episode is next level Mads! So inspiring and honest, a joy to watch, many Thanks.
To me the images 5 and 6 touched me the most. Color, mood and composition are top notch.
Keep up the great work!
Thank a lot Daniel! MEans a lot :)
I am one of the lucky people to live in Wales, and you my friend are a photographer and communicator extraordinaire. Thank you for visiting Snowdonia and sharing your adventures. Bravo !!. You are a true lens poet.
Thank you very much, Ron! That means a lot, such a sweet comment! :)
Superb Mads, strenuous but well worth it and your Tavel companion Sophie is one in a million well done to you both.
Thanks a lot Phil! And yes she is! :)
Wonderful video, love the dramatic, moody skies. Hard to pick a favorite photo, they were all so nice and each one had a story to tell.
Thanks a bunch Nina! :)
Stunning video Mads ! I like picture nr 2 for the isolation of the tree and the dramatic clouds, nr 5 the foreground leading into the lake with the wonderful ambient and of course nr 6 is epic (in your words) and your companion let us experience the scale of it all. Keep up the great work !!!! You're literally a big influence for my photography and travel !!!
Thank you very much Mario! Thanks for your thoughts too and I'm happy I can inspire :)
Fantastic film again Mads - 5 all the way for me, just stunning.
Thank you so much Andrew!
the image 5 you showed of the waterfall, lake and Tryfan was spectacular. as you said bad weather makes great photos.
Thanks Jason! :)
❤ the first shot. Love the lonely tree, goes to show that can definitely get great shots with crappy weather. The boathouse was super nice. You can see why it’s so popular. Love the mood of the mountain scene. Castle of the winds is so cool, crazy venture to get to though.
Very hard decision as ever. 5 though. Sheer epicness and a real sense as a viewer of being able to walk into that landscape. Incredible mountains and the way you’ve captured the foreground. Amazing!
Thank you so much Laurence! :)
sometimes the best things you bring home are the experiences of being there. However, still stunning photos!! and omg what a video. Image 6 for me: the shear guile you had to expend to even get there.
Thank you so much ! Love it!
Sophie, Queen of the Wild Winds, seen approaching her castle in the sky!
That was awesome!!!, thanks!
That's perfect weather! 👌🏼
My pick would be # 2. Great composition, strong subject .
I like # 5 too. Reminds me when I was Kirkjufell but then the fall of the water towards the right.
Funny about the bad weather. Everytime I go on a trip I hope for bad weather when it comes to photography.
Of course when I'm done shooting I want beautiful weather LOL
Haha Clemens yeah that's how think too! Good weather at sunrise, bad weather during day, good weather at sunset and clear weather during night - and then no sleep ;)
I've only recently in the last 6 months started my photography journey, a bit ago subscribed to your channel going through a lot of videos and I find this Gem. only half way through the video and loving it so far. I live about 20 minutes from Snowdonia and watching something so personal and picking up tips along the way has been very enjoyable! Love the vid and also good pronunciations of the places a lot of people find Welsh very difficult!
Thank you for doing what you do.
Go Sophie! 👏🏼
Absolutely brilliant!!!! All the pictures are stunning but my vote would go to number 5 as Tryfan is a special place for me, having made many visits and climbed it many times many years ago. I have visited Snowdonia earlier this year and now I realise I need another trip and to wander a little farther from the car park, thank you.
It's always good to wander further away from the carpark! :)
Great job with the Lonely Tree! Well done!
Another brilliant one, Mads!! If I had to choose it would be that lonely tree one. It is so calm and deep I just can't get past to it!!!
Congrats man!!!!
Thanks a bunch Hugo! Happy you enjoyed :)
Love your beautiful video’s. Very helpful,thank you.
Fascinating adventure and story. A bit more than a hike I would say! I have not seen the Glyders in any photo vlogs, glad you made me aware of it. Sophie must be in very good shape, you too! Hats off to you. I don't know why operators such as those at the abbey get so freaked with photographers, especially tripods. Really enjoying your vlogs and experiencing your photographic journey. Oh, good music too,
Thank you so much Steve and happy I could show you a new location :)
I have no clue either... I don't know why they think photographers are so problematic :P
Planning a trip to snowdonia ... this inspired me. Thanks a lot!
Whàt a fantastic vlog on Snowdonia some awe inspiring photography Mads
Good info and nice video scenes and photography! You make really nice videos Mads!😀👊
This is easily one of the best photography videos I've ever seen
Thank you very much Lewis! Means a lot :)
Wow 👍👍love 4,5 and6 very nice 👍
Brilliant thank you. I had been holding off going to Snowdonia when the weather is bad. No excuses now!
Inspirational film with some of the best images of Tryfan i have seen... thank you!
as someone who lives in southern england it is really refreshing seeing this series and an eye opener to all these beautiful locations that are just on my door!
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that! :)
Inspirational !!! This is the kind of photography you don't usually see, the hikes, the locations, how to get there etc. You're actually out in the field showing us what you're doing - Thanks so much for videos like these!!
Photos are awesome and Sophie is awesome to for accompanying you on these difficult journeys
wow ,so match thanks for sow this movie ,you give me a lot of tips to make my trip to Snowdonia !
greets from Belgium
👍 for Sophie, image number 5, moody, atmospheric scene that epitomises Snowdonia and North Wales.
Thank you very much again Mark! Yeah Sophies a sweetheart! Amazing girl :)
Awesome, and very inspiring
Thank you so much Mark :)
Not sure how I missed this video as I am subscribed to you but, what an awesome video. I love the Ogwen Valley and i'm so fortunate to have it on my doorstep.
Well done to you both for reaching Castle of the winds👌
You inspire me greatly, your insight, perspective, commentary, and overall philosophical wisdom.. priceless M8! Thank you , very much.
I like 5 because of the strong foreground element in the flowing water very well contrasted by the dark, moody mountains in the background. :)
Another excellent video with some stunning photos, can’t make up my mind which one I like the best
Another Amazing video Well done ! Love your work
Thanks a lot Pause! :) Much appreciated as always :)
Ive started watching these again and i need to remember the tip of having the clouds coming towards you, it really made the image mads 👍
really enjoyed your visit to Snowdon,great images Mads,
Thanks a lot, happy you liked it :)
Stunning story, thank you for great inspiration. I will definitely go there In the future.
You are very welcome Lasse! :)
....absolutely great! 👍
Thanks a bunch! :)
I did this trip 2 years ago and visited some of these places but you have shed new light on what to shoot and I love the "bad" weather. Don't do the long hikes though to old for that.
What an amazing video, Snowdonia will be on my list. I do like picture No5 the best, Iove the stream in the foreground!!!
Thanks a lot, Sander and thanks for your thoughts :)
Mads, I enjoyed this video enormously. I live in Capel Curig in Snowdonia which is very close to all the locations in this film. Your images here are wonderful and I am thrilled you enjoyed your visit and rose to the challenge of our capricious weather. Bravo :)
Thank you so much Nick! Very happy to hear that from a local! I envy you for living there :)
number 4. your videos are gettig better and better, really enjoyed this one.
Thank you very much Tibor! :)
the 4 and the 5 are breathtaking !
Thank you Mark :)
You've done it again Mads. Stunning vlog, Stunning images. I choose image 5. I too love the imagery of Lord of the rings and you nailed it with this image. The best compliment a photographer can receive is the phrase " I wish I had taken this shot "....I do. I can't wait for the Lake District vlog. It's an area I'm more familiar with. Thanks again Mads. :)
Thank you so much Kevin! I'm happy you like that image, it's also my favorite ;)
Terrific episode in your Britain series, really enjoyed the longer video. Snowdonia is just so hard to photograph, spent a week there last May and didn't get a single good shot. Have to vote for #5 this week, such a superb landscape photograph.
Thank you so much Joe! I thought it would be harder, but I was lucky with the weather I guess - obviously I would have made other choices if I had clear weather and nice sunrises/sunsets :)
As Andy Keeble said. I love your work but your view of the UK is something else. Brilliant buddy
Thank you so much Paul! I so much appreciate when locals like my work!
Like is an understatement ;)
Fabulous !!!! A very inspiring video and such stunning photography. I dont think I have seen better. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome John! I'm happy you liked it :)
Absolutely stunning video.
Thank you very much John!
This trip to the UK should be a tv series. Superb work in every aspect and I love the simple and clear narration and facts you give about each location. You are showing me places in my own country I have never seen before. Thank you
Epic stuff👍
Thank you very much Chris!
Great video as ever, number 5 is an epic. amazing shot.
Thank you for your thoughts Keith :)
A great vid, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks. It’s a great location.
Thanks a lot Medwyn! Happy you did :)
Just came across one of your vlogs and subscribed right away. Great photos in bad weather. Beautiful compositions. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching all of your vlogs. Thanks and greetings from Canada.
Loved you first videos! But these last two longer ones is just a fantastic new World. Keep it up !
Thanks a bunch Michael! :) Happy you like the format.
Thanks Peter..... another nice vlog from you..... looking forward to the next one :)
You're very welcome :)
Amazing vlog Mads. Some of the most moody and stunning images of Snowdonia I have ever seen! Simply incredible
Thank you SO much Philip :)
Another splendid vlog, amazing back drop!
Thank you very much Bob! :)
Loved the Snowdonia trip, it's just down the road from me, thank you for sharing, now i've gotta go watch the rest of your video's, thank you
You're welcome Adrian, good luck :)
This is your longest video right .... very very nice Mads,stunning images ..good job !
It is indeed and thank you :)
Wow this is epic! Love the longer length video and am in awe of the effort you & Sophie put in. Incredible landscapes. I was last in Snowdonia when I was a kid and I remember we wrote my name in little white stones on one of the hillsides!
Thank you so much Ciara! It was a tough one for sure - by far the toughest location we visited in Britain, but so worth it! :) - I guess it's about time to go back.
Amazing! That photo at15:30 is spectacular. Now subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more and catching up on the ones you have already posted.
Thank you so much! Yeah I really love that shot too :)
I have been waiting for the Snowdonia video as it is a location that I visit as often as I can and wanted to see your perspective of it. I was not disappointed,Great video and amazing images.I very much look forward to the next in the series.
Thank you very much Richard! :) I envy you for being able to visit it that often :)
Kæmpe fan af dine videoer! Flotte og informative.
Tusind tak Kimmi! :)
It’s great to see you enjoying Snowdonia, which is my stomping ground.
I think you did exceptionally well those conditions which looked more challenging than usual!
You would love Snowdonia in mid winter after a snowfall!
The Glyders are always unpredictable - I’ve had a blinding blue sky after a snowfall with visibility around five miles and also I’ve been up there in June with visibility around 50 metres…
Superb vlog and photography. 😊
Thank you Mark :)
Great video Mads. This is my favorite. It's so unique and a great price of art. Very amazing to see how great pictures can come out of bad weather. Thank you.
Thank you very much Mehrab :)
What a great vlog, I love your positivity and challenging yourself to take some epic shots in the stormy weather. If you're in a location that you may never get the chance to return to you have to make the best of what your given!
Exactly! Work with what you got and just give it a try :)
No 4 for me an iconic image
Thanks for your thoughts Steve :)
Wow. Easily the absolute best travel/landscape vlog I've watched on UA-cam. Stunning.
Thank you so much! That means a lot! There're some really nice vlogs out there :)
You have inspired me to go out in conditions I would not normally shoot in, for that, I thank you :-)
What a great movie, Mads! Informative, entertaining and most of all with personality. Love it! Thank you so much for your passion and dedication in doing this to share with us. Cannot say how much it is appreciated, my friend.
Thank you so much Kai! It means the world :)
This video is just superb! Thanks so much for it, I visited Snowdonia last week and had to visit most of these locations! We had a disappointing day at the top of the Glyders though as we couldn’t see the Castle of the Winds through the clouds. I’ll be back for that shot another time! 😊
You are most welcome! I hope you'll return and get your shot!
Mind blown ! :o With every video you just inspire me to go out and shoot !
Thank you very much Bobin and you're welcome :)
fantastic video with wow effect, and the pictures
Great. More of it please
I take my hat off to both of you
Thank you very much Frank! :)
So glad you enjoyed Snowdonia. It's my favourite place to go and the place that got me hooked into landscape photography two years ago. I'm lucky to live a reasonably close distance to the park ☺ I'm just waiting for the snow to arrive to go back this year. One of my favourite videos you've produced so far mads.
Hey Mads, what an inspiring video, thanks. I have this year ticked off one of my long time Bucket List locations on Skye, The Old Man of Storr and while I hear you about Snowdonia I don't think I can agree it out buckets Skye. However, inspired by this video I am going to test your view and have just booked for a long weekend (24th to 27th Nov) in the area to get the Lone Tree and some of the surrounding area. My wife and I are not as young and fit as you and your travelling companion (Sophie?) so we won't be trying the high country but will surely try to do justice to your excellent showpiece video. Again, thanks for the inspiration.
Hey Mads. Epic scenery and great job with the narration and information you provide. Subsribed. By the way Photo #5 is my favourite. One of those images that has exceptional composition.
Thank you very much, John! I appreciate it very much and welcome aboard! :)
I have enjoyed this one a lot Mads. Mostly due to my passion on hiking in Norway. Very well made. Thanks
Thank you so much Mike! Hiking is fun and and can deliver some superb images!
Awesome video, Mads. I am planning a trip to Snowdonia in January and have been searching for videos from the area. Your video is definitely the best and has given me some great inspiration.
Thanks a lot Richard! Really happy the video works :)
Another brilliant blog Mads! Love all of the images but for me 5 was just a little more WOW! For me, you are the blogger to watch. Others are good but you just have that little extra that resonates with me. Keep the good work going!
nice vlog man, my fav shot is the last Llyn Ogwen one.
Thank you very much, Ken! :)
An absolutely stunning video. My favourite image was of Tinton Abbey (#1). Very atmospheric and telling a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing your thought processes when trying to shoot long exposures in windy conditions. Learnt a lot, thank you.
You are very welcome Tony, happy you learned something :)
