Cheers Burt. Yes, I am a bit spoilt for choice when it comes to locations around here. Just driving around any scenic area can often present good photo opportunities 😊👍
Hi Darrel, thanks for watching. That little river running down Nant Peris is one of my favourite locations around here. So many possibilities and very handy for parking! 😊👍
I've done this road side mountain photography in pretty much the same places. Great memories and as I have mobility issues, it's great to see a photographer on YT promote roadside imagery. Great video, cheers Ian
Cheers mate, I must admit I quite enjoyed these as well because it's great to have all my pro gear with me without having to lug it up some ridiculous incline! 😊👍
Brilliant David, really enjoy this park and shoot series, especially useful for me on those days where I'm stuck for ideas in Snowdonia and not feeling up to a hike, refreshing approach to see the images which aren't taken during sunrise/sunset.
Hey David, your love for these gentle mountains is very well reported by your beautiful photography. Next time, hopefully soon, I will be in the UK, I'll make my self sure to visit Snowdonian Mountains. Thanks, for sharing! ciao!
@@DGriffGallery Yes, it would be definitely fun! If things turn out good, I'd really love to visit the area. I'll give you a call for sure! We'll see... ciao!
Excellent David, great advice for those who are less mobile, I’m not there yet but it will come! Really cool shot from Nant Francon , well done, more please!
Hello Derek, many thanks for tuning in, much appreciated. I'm sure there will be more in this series as I've probably only scratched the surface so far 😊👍
Thoroughly enjoyable. No surprise there then. Good solid advice, I agree, no need to always have to hike somewhere to shoot from. I'm rather warming to the idea of driving my gear around in the car, especially now the colder weather is coming. Some cracking images too, particularly liked the first one in the gallery as it illustrates the sheer scale of the location wonderfully. 🙌 👍
Cheers mate, I've meant to do more of these since I started the series a couple of years ago. But every time I get the opportunity to go out into the hills I try to make the most of it and so I've been off the beaten track for the most part. But I do like being able to lug all of my pro gear with me for this sort of thing. And it makes a change not coming home dripping in sweat! 😁👍
Cheers , it’s Sean in Atlanta! I also had an EM5 and I regretted selling it! For anyone out there that has never had one, it truly is a wonderful and small but powerful camera. I think I am the perfect bait for camera companies because I listen to all my favourite photographers, you being one of them, and then I have to rush out and get the latest and greatest and wonder why my pictures don’t reflect the deficit in my checking account! Haha! So you know what? The other day I purchased a brand-new Panasonic GX85. I almost got another EM5 but thought I would try something a little different. You live in such a beautiful country! Atlanta has no scenery like that and the few times that I have had the pleasure of visiting the UK, I am always left wanting more and you help give me that! Another excellent video from you and I thank you for that! I’ll just leave you with one question, did the originators of the Welsh language think, “wait till the Americans see the spelling of this one“ before they made your language? Haha! Sean
Hello Sean, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. I must admit that I was very much in two minds whether to sell my EM5, but in the end I decided that any situation where I would have used that would be covered by my OM1. Especially since the EM5 isn't substantially smaller / lighter than the Olympus pro cameras. But the great advantage of the EP7 is that it has exactly the same sensor and processor as the EM1X and E1 mk3. So the image quality is unrivalled in a compact size camera body. And with regards to your question about the Welsh language, it's fair to say that when they were originating it, America wouldn't be invented for another 2000 years! 😊👍
Another grand day out Dave, thanks for sharing. Though I say it every time, splendid images once more. I could hear that there was a petrol head around at one point in the video ... at least that kind of thing will die down in the next few weeks.
Hi Bryan, to be fair it's something I hear quite a lot. Many people would struggle with some of the steep hikes which I sometimes share on my channel, and so I use this series to kind of balance things up a little. And also to offer encouragement that anyone can still enjoy mountain landscape photography without the need to undertake challenging walks. 😊👍
Very useful vlog, especially for me and my dodgy knees! I did manage to walk up to Llyn Ogwen last year but it was a major struggle (coming down more than going up).
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to make contact. Hopefully this will give you some encouragement that you can still enjoy your mountain landscape photography without those sorts of challenges 😊👍
Nice images as always. I'm with you when it comes to carrying a smaller camera. I have the EOS R and associated big, heavy lenses but I find myself carrying the M6ii more often than not with an external EVF that slips into the hotshoe if needed.
Cheers Alan. Yes, I do enjoy your images and have noticed that you are often carrying something compact. You just never know when you're out and about what's going to present itself and you'd kick yourself if all you had was a phone 😊👍
Really enjoyed that one - wonderful commentary on how its ok to just take what gets thrown at you. Also liking the "lazy-man" style of not walking miles uphill !! :)
Another fabulous video, I love these types of videos as I struggle with my mobility and it always inspires me to try and get out anyway. The images were amazing but the last one of that little fall was my favourite. Thanks Dave 🙂
Hello Colin, thank you so much for watching. It's always a worry when I'm trying to make a point about sometimes you can only get out with your camera around other commitments and so conditions might not always be ideal, especially when I'm trying to say that it is still possible to make indecent images. I suppose if they were absolutely terrible I probably wouldn't have published the video in the first place! But I was quite happy with these in the end 😊👍
Some lovely photography there Dave and a very encouraging approach. I get a little fed up seeing images that can only be taken at sunrise or sunset or up mountains or in Iceland. My circumstances mean I just go out when I can, so I get my enjoyment by trying to make the best of what I'm presented with. Keep up your inspiring work Dave......
Hi David. just goes to show with a keen eye and some stunning locations you dont need to travel far from your car. third of the 3 images is my favorite but all are cracking images. 👌
Croeso, Ray. Many thanks for tuning in. When I was starting out with photography in the early 80s the Beacons were part of my patch. There are some great roadside spots especially across the tops between Hirwaun and and the A470 😊👍
Thanks a lot, Nicky, always appreciate your generous support. I think if I was asked to say what's one of the most important things to me about my photography and video is that it offers 'encouragement' to others. So I really appreciate your feedback. 😊👍
Great video, Dave! You got some lovely shots. I needed your pep talk at the end. I may be shooting my yard this fall, but you encourage me to look for possibilities.
Thanks Dave for this one .... I live in Shropshire but my heart is always in Snowdonia's Llanberis Pass , in fact I'm sure the large rock behind the one on the right of your waterfall is the rock I carved my sons name and DOB on almost 50 years ago.
Particularly enjoyed this one especially because the Capel Curig road is one I know well , it's shown that you don't need to go on a proper hike to get brilliant results!
Good to see you out and about again Dave, I've seen a shot from Jason Jones at that location in Nant Peris, great spot. Since getting the GX7 IR converted I have been using an old Pany 12-32mm pancake lens and had forgotten how good it was
Cheers Pete, yes Jason has made dozens of images in Nant Peris in all conditions so I would be amazed if this particular spot hasn't featured from him before as it's right next to the layby of course. 😊👍
Well, I wasn't far off the same ground as you David when I was there a couple of weeks back. Totally agree about the Llyn Mymber shot, I too want the Horseshoe in my face and not a lump of fuporspar dominating the photo. And love the moving tree and snap on that on that but not that tree lol.
Timely vlog for me David having had some mobility problems over the summer. I’d been looking at more gentle routes for the autumn but hadn’t thought of drive and park, thanks.
I'm sure you know this neck of the woods well enough to find some easy rambles close to parking. Nice to see the park much quieter now the summer crowds have left so finding somewhere to pull up is much easier, even on a Saturday afternoon! 😊👍
Really enjoyable content David and some nice images, I have the EP 5 and the Pany 12-32 lens for a lightweight carry, nice and compact, just the job for the unexpected shot when out walking.
Hello Tony, yes when I was looking into my options I saw that the EP5 was considered something of a definitive model. Very well reviewed. I guess they thought that bringing out a compact but interchangeable lens model with updated sensor and processor was a good move. Although it seemed to slip out onto the market quite quietly and seems to have fewer online reviews than most cameras 😊👍
Beutiful shots Dave, well worth the trip out. It's good to get some movement in the shots, I think it adds to the drama. It's got to worth a trip for me. Looking forward to the next trip.
thanks dave ,for sharing these ideas ,for us less mobile. these images are very good . i have to travel to betws y coed soon, running out of moose juice. thanks again.
Hi Dave, hope all's we'll. Just watched your 50th CZcams video on gear on a gray day in your back garden, yes a while ago, but great to see what was in your bag then. Maybe time for an update on your bag given you got a newish camera and probably other goodies or what now doesn't work around your neck. Hope the personal project is going well. Many Cheers Howard 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Hello Howard, thanks so much for watching and making contact. Yes, you might be right about another "bag" video. They are often referred to as a bit of a "who cares", but they do get a lot of views so people are probably secretly interested! 😊👍
You should. I don't think you would be disappointed at all. Of course, the conditions might be challenging, but that helps make for more interesting images! 😊👍
Cheers Andrew. Well, the obvious response is to suggest you get back out there with your main photography gear, especially at this time of year as conditions are getting more interesting. I always like to see what other photographers come up with 😊👍
I have a Lumix GX80 walk-about camera. It's similar to the Pen but has an EVF (only 16MP tho'...) but a lightweight "pocketable" camera is great to have. I use the Lumix 14-42 pancake on it, very similar to your Oly pancake, but I often take my Oly 17mm and 45mm primes instead.
Hi Alan, yes I may well pair it up with the 17mm too, from time to time. The winning feature on this camera for me is that the sensor and processor is the one used in the EM1-X & mk3. And being able to couple that in such a compact body with any M4/3 glass makes it a beast when it comes to image quality. So all I'm missing when carrying it are the "features" from the bigger bodies 😊👍
Yes, I think I probably will do a very brief overview of the camera with some sample images. When I was looking into it I found that there weren't very many reviews of it out there and so hopefully it will be helpful 😊👍
A fun outing and you made some wonderful images. So about that EP7...is the lack of an evf still workable even in bright light? You Brits mostly have moody skies 😉, but I've never been able to really see my smart phone camera screen on let's say a beach or other bright sun. Thanks, enjoyed your sharing the photo outing.
The screen is pretty bright and I haven't had any major problems so far. Also you can angle it to reduce reflections a little if necessary. But doing without the EVF is a decent trade-off for szie and weight, for me. But you're quite right about the moody skies, it probably won't get much use in bright sunlight anyway 😊👍
The last image is right up my street ,just right on the exposure time,a great balance of smooth & motion 👌 I really need to get my ass back to Wales ! How you finding the Benro head ? Cheers 👍
Hello Steve many thanks for watching. Yes, I find it strange that people often sell this lens on when they've acquired it with a body as a kit. When it is clearly an excellent piece of equipment which does a very good job when used correctly. 😊👍
Sorry, but it’s not an opinion as to whether diffraction causes a loss of clarity and sharpness. It does. Whether it causes enough softness to ruin the image is a different matter
Yes, I think I probably will do a very brief overview of the camera with some sample images. When I was looking into it I found that there weren't very many reviews of it out there and so hopefully it will be helpful 😊👍
Love the final shot with the cascade
Many thanks, Paul 😊👍

I wouldn't mind if people labelled their Mymbyr shots as such, and not make out it's a definitive Snowdon view! 😊👍
And better still if I had used the correct spelling "Mymbyr". I must admit I get tired of foreground interest when the real subject is insignificant.

That's the idea! 😁👍
My favourite type of shoot 👍
Yes mate, makes a change from hauling our gear off the beaten track. Although, I still really enjoy that sort of thing despite all the sweat! 😊👍
Great advice David. Took virtually the same shot of Tryfan a couple of weeks ago, but only on my phone when out for a cycle.
