- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- This week I embrace the Winter weather on the Welsh coast and practise some seascape photography. Armed with a Nikon D750, I travel to the 3 Cliffs Bay in Swansea, and Monknash Beach on the Vales of Glamorgan Heritage coast, while battling unpredictable weather.

Found you! Your content is gold, I can't believe how underrated and so few subscribers this channel has. Love the photos, love your humor, and the way you compose the shots. Soon I'll be sharing some landscape photography channels around the world in my YT channel and blog and now yours is on the list. thanks for sharing this content. Will let you know when I do. Congratulations
I am a quite new subscriber to your channel. I grew up in the UK and I love being reminded of the beautiful countryside. I am also a photographer and I think I need to get out more and explore. You are an inspiration.
Dont class it as a fear of the water,you are trating it with the greatest of respect :) Love youe vids and you make me laugh....Great work Victoria :)
some great shots there
At 5:39 I love this shot. It makes me think of the “Ghosts Of The Sea” coming after you. You don’t run because you don’t see them as threatening until it’s too late. They grab your legs and take you out to their home. Never to be seen again until it’s your turn to go hunting.
Remnant of tides was a wall hanger for sure. Great sea capes Courtney.
Nice video! Try the North Norfolk coast to help conquer your fear of the sea. Places like Hunstanton, Holkham and Wells beaches features miles of golden sand which slopes so gently that you can walk 100m into the sea and it's still only ankle deep! Hunstanton also has stripey cliffs and a shipwreck. Elsewhere, Cromer, Weybourne and Happisburgh have awesome shingle and cliffs, so a great mix. You'll usually see a few seals too. Not as spectacular as Wales, but more user friendly. Oh, and buy some wellies!!
Thank you for the recommendations, I'll definitely keep them in mind! Miles of golden sandy beaches sound extremely tranquil. To spot a few seals would be fantastic as well! I will definitely pop my wellies in the car next time! Luckily I had some spare socks and shoes so I didn't have to suffer soggy feet for the rest of the day ha. Thanks for watching and have a great week!
@@CourtneyVictoria Lol! Glad you got the wellies covered! Essential for beach photography. Yeah, if you're ever over this way, I'd be happy to point you at all the best locations. Keep up the great work!
Lisbon, Portugal. Bravo, Victoria.
There are also amazing views from atop the cliffs when you go from nash point lighthouse up the hill on right hand side
Hi Courtney, I think your channel is better channel of photography. I'm amauter photography and I learning a lot off thing with you. Tank you for sharing your job.
Hiya, if the light seems flat. Try converting some of the images to Black and White. If you visit the Norfolk coastline. Go to Burnham Overy Harbour. Then take the coast path to the beach. Best when tide out, some great sand dunes there. A lovely walk to Holkham beach too.
Such a poetic presentation...
Excellent work .
great photos. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video very inspiring
every shot was a stunner. I wish I had your framing skill. great location too. I'm sat waiting to photograph at ham wall nature reserve near Glastonbury listening to owls hooting. and waiting for the sun to come up if you haven't been here folks it got incredible views and there's no waves or salt water. 😃
Thank you Peter! Ooh that sounds very relaxing, I love owls and would love to photograph them in the wild sometime. I haven't heard of that nature reserve so I'll check it out sometime!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WORK , SUBSCRIBED !!!
Just discovered your channel.Really enjoyed it. The images are stunning
Just discovered your channel. Subscribed & started looking up locations at the coast already! 🙂
Another great video 🤗you are so cute and funny, keep up the good work
Great Video, and cracking shots. Love the last image. You should do more seascapes!
Really enjoyed the vlog ones again 👍📸📸
Happened on this by accident, and I'm glad I did. Love your style and aesthetic in your pictures. Subscribed.
right at the end... tippy toe racing away from the wave... you crack me up! Good visit to the bay.... very nice shots.
Great video, Courtney. I really liked that 'Test Shot' and I think you were spot on when you said some light or something would bring it to life🖖
Thanks for watching David! Yes, the views from that side of the cliff are great, definitely some potential for amazing images with some good light.
I’m new to your channel, but I’m enjoying your work. I really love the last photograph in this video. Thank you for sharing your work.
More cracking images. I don't do landscape photography because I don't see what you see - until I view your images. Though I love your work, and that of CZcamsr Derek Forss, I'll stick to wildlife photography.
Nice job! Thanks
What a great video Courtney! For someone who doesn't like seascapes as much as spending time in the mountains/forests (I admit I'm the same) your captures are absolutely incredible. That image where you were waiting for that big wave with the V shape in the foreground is astonishing, I really wouldn't change anything, you conveyed the mood of the scene perfectly. "The remnants of the tide" is also gorgeous, that foreground tide pool and the patterns in the rocks are mesmerising and coupled with the towering cliffs in the background really makes for a powerful image. You came home with 2 very strong portfolio images, well done! :)
Fantastic video Courtney love the following images 3 Cliffs Bay at 2.44 A speck in the sand at 4.12 and Remnant of the tide at 7.27, great job and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the images.
Really love your videos,informative,interesting,and full of good tips.
Great shots Courtney
Monknash is one of my local beach’s , I’m there practically everyday
I love your videos. New Subscriber. Kepp making more.
When you said, "at least it isn't raining", I was expecting it to start much sooner.
I don't fear the ocean but I have a healthy respect. If you are focused on photography you need someone to watch the incoming waves. You never know when a rogue wave will come in that is much higher and stronger than the rest.
I think I half expected it to start raining too! I like that, a healthy respect. I think a part of my fear is that I don't feel as though I belong there. Very true, would be much easier with a second person to keep watch. I do my best to keep an eye on the water as I go about my activities but you're absolutely right. It just takes one rogue wave and then you've got more than soggy socks! Thank you for watching and have a great week!
enjoyed that nice compositions as well cant wait for the next 1
Thank you so much Bryan, glad you enjoyed the video!
I hope folks realize the amount of work you put in, being both a videographer as well as a Photographer! I certainly do, and appreciate the time and effort! From afar (western Canada) I enjoy your video's very much, love your personality, and would love to be on a workshop with you! BTW - loved the shot you got of the waves, and I realize one can't wait forever, but it was fantastic, for what was in front of you! Thanks again.
0:40 ❤️
Another great video Courtney. Looks like a great place to visit.
Thanks Chris, the Welsh coast is really something!
Awesome video Courtney. It was funny you were on top of that cliff and I was thinking, "oh grab your telephoto lens Courtney." And then you did! You got that cracking shot of the people in the sand. Beautiful. You're right, that first pano with better light would be perfect. Thanks for sharing the adventure out 👍🙏
I'm glad I popped the telephoto lens in my bag haha! Always trying to watch the weight of my bag, especially when hiking cliffs like that but it was definitely useful that day. Thanks for watching Adrian, hope you're having a great week!
Love your perky personality and your photos are nice too!
Best collection of images yet! I only discovered you recently and you are a treat to watch. Subbed!
Great video at a stunning location. I very much enjoyed your intro and your peaceful and casual manner. I’m looking forward to watching more of your content.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Yes, very poetic.
Honestly, those were some killer shots Courtney. Maybe you'd need to become more comfortable with water, but as for seascapes...nah, you're already there :). Like always glad to be watching your videos.
those cliffs look like a great spot , nice one mate.
You really do have to respect the sea I have got wet a couple times. You are such a good vlogger you get some.much in a short time haha.
Absolutely! You need one eye on the sea at all times ha. I go through a fair few batteries while getting my overload of b'roll ha! Thanks Paul.
Thanks for sharing your experience with great results... you have such a beautiful way of presenting your photography experience & I love the location as I live near the sea.... cheers from Australia 😀
Thank you very much Robert! It's been nice to be by the sea for a change.
@@CourtneyVictoria yes..I moved from the country to live by the ocean...I am about 450 metres from the water & love to walk along the beach..... cheers 😀❤️
Really nice captures, Courtney! Great locations!
Thank you! The Welsh coast is beautiful, I think it has sparked the beginning of a passion for seascape photography!
Cool video, I like the image of the rocks(5:40) where they are naturally forming a V on the bottom of the frame. Its very moody yet there is plenty of light in the sky. Not sure exactly why, but it works for me! Great job!
Great video as always .I also have the Nikon 16-35mm lens , its a great wide angle , it's advised to have a filter on the front if using in windy sea conditions as wind can blow moisture & sand into the front lens itself , it's already happened to one seascape photographer , it's rather odd as the lens is weather sealed , the seascape photographer demonstrated the sound of sand scraping as the internal part of the lens moved in & out , it's the internal gap between the inner lens & inner side where it travels , crap can work it's way in to the travel space , best keep a filter on .
Some very nice images. Quite prudent to treat the ocean shoreline with some respect! Cheers!
Thank you Chris! I do my best to be careful and respectful regarding my surroundings when exploring nature. Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful landscape
It really is! I feel very lucky I have the opportunity and time to explore it.
Great work as always Courtney, really liked the two shot pano at the start. Buy yourself some wellies and embrace the water at least a few inches anyways. Take care
Thanks David, glad you like the pano shot. I didn't even think to pop my wellies in the car, perhaps next time I will do so and get stuck in a little more! Have a great week.
Brill 👍🏻
Respect your fear's. Enough people get in to trouble in the sea.
this is entertainment at its best! And you take such good photos! I like your videos. Socks dry again?😉
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :) Haha, fortunately I had a spare pair of socks in the car! It was as though I had predicted my feet would get wet.
Great video Courtney. I've grown up in and around the ocean but know quite a few people who have a fear of the ocean, but it was nice to see you at least give it a shot there at the end. Definitely have to be careful over there with how fast the tide moves in, but with proper planning and never taking your eye off the ocean, there is no type of photography more rewarding to me than seascape photography. Some really crackin' images in this one. The one at 0:35 is so clean, and despite the lack of light and ultra-wide angle lens, the one at 2:43 was amazing because of the S curve and the cliff creating the leading line into the shot. The test shot at 3:45 could really be a special image given the right light and clouds. Really enjoyed the video and the images! Hope you are doing well!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and images! I hope the fear lessens the more I practise my seascape photography, I am really enjoying it! I have noticed how fast the tide can come in here already, I try to look at tide times so I have some idea of when it could change but the waves can be quite unpredictable. Definitely keeps me on my toes!
Oh, I love your pictures and the way how you walk around to find the best view. Wonderful, I wish I could be by your side to enjoy this location with you and my D750. I am on insta -
My favourite type of weather for coastal photography! And what a beautiful place to do it Courtney, that clifftop shot has great potential like you say. I really loved the ‘speck on the sand’ image too! Have a great week!
I am enjoying your video and photography. May I ask, why do you choose such small apertures?
당신의 목소리를 들어 매우 기분이 좋네요.어느날 당신의 영상을 소개하는 영상을봤습니다.영암군에서 4년간 근무하실걸압니다.그곳 월출산은 옛날부터 양기가 강한 곳으로 유명한 곳입니다. 산에 에너지가 많아 각 지방에 병자들이 요양을 하던 지역 있습니다. 암환자도 그 곳에서 요양을하면 월출산에 에너지를 받아 호전되는 그런곳에서 근무하셨더군요.아마 4년간 잔병칠은 안 하셨을 것으로 봅니다. 다시 한국에 오실 생각은 없는지..궁금하네요.교육부에서는 펜데믹으로 인한 각 나라 교육 교사분을의 건강을 예의 주시하고 있으니 늘 건강하게 지냈으면합니다. 그리고 영상 잘보고 갑니다.
대한민국을 사랑해주셔서 감사합니다 좋아요 하고 갑니다. ps: 그리고 한국어 제목도 같이 넣어주세요 검색에서 잘 찾을수있게..
I'm the same I think it's called fear of drowning :)
That might be it ha!
Two fabulous locations and some cracking images to show from it. Loved your opening shot from 3 cliffs, its a well know spot and you certainly dit it justice. atb Alan... ps bit further along for more rocky goodness at Nash lighthouse ;)
Thank you! The 3 cliffs shot turned out better than I expected. Mentally noted! I did want to walk to Nashpoint but I wasn't able to stick around long unfortunately, didn't give myself enough time to do so. Next time! Have a great week!
Your photos are beautiful, actually you are best to be cautious on the rocks in case of rogue waves. Well done
Maybe try doing some long exposures with a long lens 70-200 perhaps. A lot of people think they can only use super wide, but you'll be surprised!
Really nice images, I have to hit my sea cost very soon!
Some long exposures with my telephoto lens could be fun! I'm actually waiting for a tripod collar for it to arrive. I haven't had the lens for long actually and have been using it hand held so far. Thanks for watching!
@@CourtneyVictoria right on! I just got a third party collar for mine 70-200 f4. Made from AL so a tad heavier than plastic but half the cost.
I also forgot to add the benefit of the long tele, is that you won't have to get your feet wet 😉 haha.
What do you mean 'better light' for the three cliffs bay shot? I can't imagine better light than that!
Dat girl is my crush in photography, definetely
I find it strange having lived 10 minutes walk from the North Cornwall coast I rarely took any photos, having moved away I go back frequently to take photos, illogical. There is a saying 1 in 10 waves will be a big one to watch out for. Enjoyed your video and photos.
I guess you don't appreciate what you've got on your doorstep until it's no longer there! I lived on the Welsh coast while at University many years ago, just as I was getting into photography. Strangely I didn't photograph the coast much either!
my only concern is a wave destroying my gear.
I am not fond of water either. Much prefer a trek in the woods or mountains.
You need your wellies. 👍🥂
Yes! I forgot to pop them in the car before setting off. Luckily I had spare socks and trainers so I didn't have to drive home with soggy feet ha!
7:30 Bare footed is best. You can feel the rocks.
Do you think you can show us your drought?
I have Nikon D750 FX Body no lenes
You are gorgeous
Nothing worse than sodden shoes and socks. Especially when they make that squelching sound when you walk in them!! Really uncomfortable. It's a pity the weather didn't play for you. Locations like that would look great with a nice, red sunset and a bit of cloud in the sky.
