Photography at Cable Bay, Anglesey
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- In another of my occasional Park & Shoot series landscape photography locations, I'm at an Anglesey beach with great views from the car park. And walking just a very short distance onto the sand offers the landscape photographer all the standard coastal / beach photography subjects. It is also a great location for sunset photography. Especially in late winter and late autumn where the sun sets into the sea.
The beach is known locally as Cable Bay, but is on maps under its historical name of Porth Trecastell. It is easily accessible alongside the A4080 between Rhosneigr and Aberffraw on the south west coast of Anglesey. There is plenty of parking, but be aware that, as you'd expect, it gets very busy during the main holiday season. But if you time your visit carefully you can enjoy some solitude and it is a highly recommended landscape photography location.

Today's recommendation: • Landscape Photography ... . Jeff visits Dungeness on the south coast of England to shoot shipwrecks.
A nice little beach to chill out on. And another vlogger to check out
Hi mate, yes I absolutely recommend Jeff quite an interesting vlogger and a really nice guy 😀👍
As always, magnificent pictures and great video. After whole day of stress, work and other crappy obligations I finally could have 8 minutes for myself. Really enjoying this videos of yours. Can't wait for more :) Cheers!
Cheers Piotr, really glad you enjoyed it 😀👍
Nice work on the sunset images. I really like the last one where the sun had set. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching, Tony. It's a lot of work doing these videos and it makes it all worthwhile when nice people like you continue to support and follow, and take the time to let me know you enjoy it. Many thanks 😀👍
@@DGriffGallery I understand how much work is involved making these videos and that's why I am so grateful for creators like you. Thank you again
Love the photo at minute 3:00, those birds add so much to the image, very nice!
Thanks a lot for your support Fabrizio, I really appreciate it 😊👍
Hi David. You've captured beautiful images here - love the first shots with the backlit rocks. You're rapidly becoming the go-to host for your fellow vloggers when they visit the island ! I've driven past Cable Bay many times but never had good light, so your video has given me a reason to pay another visit. Really enjoyed the video David. Many thanks for sharing.
Hi Tim, If you're passing its always well worth stopping because even if the light isn't that good it's the sort of place where there's usually something you can get close up as well. 😀👍
What a lovely little bay, it looks nice and quiet and not far to walk, I have never done much photography in Anglesey, I normally head straight for the ferry to get to Dublin, if time permits one of the days I shall have to stay longer, glad you got some pictures and again you made it look so easy.....Many thanks for sharing....
Thanks Des, you're more than welcome 😀👍
I love these little park n shoots. Enjoyed it David. Nice work
Hopefully they'll come in handy if you ever think of visiting us!! 😀👍
Thank you David. Have been enjoying your video's and am envious of all the beautiful locations in your locale. Love your style and images.
Hi Michael, many thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such generous feedback - I really appreciate it 😀👍
Perfect for next week sunset if the weather from Ireland is favourable! Hmmm, this place or just round the corner for Eglwys Cwyfan ........ hmmmm So thank you for these short Park & Shoot locations - seems I have enough listed on What3words to keep me busy for 2 1/2 days! lol
Great collaboration Dave at an interesting location. Really like the images of the rocky headland. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
My pleasure Rob 😀👍
Looks like you got a brilliant sunset! Great photo. I love the idea of your videos with park and shoot. Great info about the area. I've added it to my list if I'm ever about that area.
Thank you so much for watching, Michael, and taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it. It's a lot of work doing these videos and it makes it all worthwhile when nice people like you comment. Many thanks 😀👍
It's definitely beautiful! I love Anglesey! I must visit when I am down that end. What a cracking place.
Hop on that train out of Euston!! I always look forward to heading home when I'm in my office in London 😀👍
I just found your CZcams site and I am enjoying it very much. Park and shoot is a great idea I live in Stockport but I have not been to Wales to take photos very often so I shall be looking for locations to visit. Thank You
Thank you so much for watching, Lawrence, and taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it. It's a lot of work doing these videos and it makes it all worthwhile when nice people like you comment. Many thanks 😀👍
Love your style. I've subscribed and looking forward to all your video's
Thank you so much for supporting me, hope I can keep you entertained 😊👍🏻
Another great video and lovely location, one of many in your series from which I have learned a great deal. You are probably aware that polarisers have their greatest effect when used perpendicular to the direction of sunlight and are not very effective used directly into the sun.
Thanks a lot Colin - yes I should have been more explicit on the CPL I was referring to a composition which followed the line of the stream away from the sun. 😀👍
D Griff Gallery Not at all, it was my misunderstanding. Thanks for helping me revive my interest in photography, a hobby I have dabbled in over many years. I have a little more time now that I have retired. Your gentle style in presenting plays down the obvious efforts you expend to create these great videos. Good luck.
The only comment is "Bravo Maestro".
Cheers Gary, really glad you enjoyed it 😀👍
Beautiful shots Griff. Nice to know its so easy to get to. Also liked seeing Jeff out and about. Heading over to watch his now!!
Really nice bloke and I'm very chuffed a few extra subs went his way. Aiming to give as many people as possible a nudge along too 😀👍
@@DGriffGallery guess I better head back to Wales 🤣🤣🤣
Great vlog! Great seeing Jeff out with you too! I really enjoy your thoughtful and meaningful delivery and demeanor David! Thanks for sharing
Garrick, you're a gent. Thanks a lot 😀👍
David, And the more able-bodied of us can continue round the headland to enjoy Barclodiad y Gawres! Thanks for another excellent vlog.
Epic views from the top there, but tough to get a good composition except when there's a big storm or angry skies 😀👍
Some lovely square crops in that selection of images David, my fave being the one at 7m 51s. It appears that you seem to be on a project to collaborate with other vloggers, a little in the way Tim is collecting waterfalls from the UK :) Nice job.
Yeah I seem to be hanging out with new people almost every week or so at the moment - here's to the next one. Some bloke from south Wales I think!! 😀👍
Quality shots again David, the afternoon wasn’t looking too good a one point but ended up with a a reasonable sunset.
Yes, Jeff and I had been planning it for a few days so we were a but worried it might be less than pleasant!! 😀👍
Hello my friend sorry for the lack of my visits here on your channel, but you probably understand and know how it es when life happens..... love to watch those collaborations , great for both of you and also for the viewers. What a wonderful location and results are breathtaking , cheers from snowy Colorado, V!!!
PS: Jeff looks like very nice person
Thank you very much, that's very kind of you!
Hi V 😀👍 You're right he certainly is. I've been really lucky to be able to spend so much time with so many top people lately!
Beautiful place David, now I can wait for summer here in Canada. I'm planning a trip to Prince Edward Island this summer and it look like the area you were in, Anglesey!
I bet you can't wait for that trip, Bernard. I really hope you get great conditions for photography and I'll be definitely looking forward to those vlogs 😀👍
I love how natural those shots at the end looked - glad to see you avoided the temptation to do some long exposure shots, which although they're lovely, every man and their dog are doing them now. Another win in my book, David!
Thanks a lot, Kevin. I do quite like the long exposure myself, but of course it's good to mix it up and there are times when it works sometimes when it doesn't. The later shots were very much about the textures and colours in the sky. And I didn't feel that a long exposure would really have added anything to it. 😀👍
Nice pictures mate :) Thats best thing with landscape photography stand enjoy landscapes and shoot some good images ;)
Hi Kamil, thanks so much for tuning in and commenting - much appreciated 😀👍
Looks like the pocket is working out for you mate. Lovely location & cracking images, love your park & shoot series.
Loving the Pocket - everything is so easy and stress free. I always want to get the best possible footage (A & B) and this thing is completely point and shoot with minimal faffing and great quality and silky smooth. With on-board audio life is quick and easy in the edit. So I can concentrate on the stills. I am going to be out for a big hike tomorrow and should be able to easily knock out x3 vlogs - great recommendation from Mr Day 😀👍
A beautiful location and, as always, you got some cracking shots there David. Thank you very much for inviting me along
Isn't it interesting how 2 people can be at the same place at the same time and get such a varied collection of images. I really enjoyed yours 😀👍
It is very interesting, but on the other hand it would be quite a disaster i think if we had got the same shots. @@DGriffGallery
Hi David. First shots were lovely, sunset ones nice but lacking focal point(s) of interest. BTW a Polarizer doesn't work when facing into the sun, the sun needs to be at the side of the camera.
Fair comment about the first couple of shots, Ray, but I was looking at the lights and textures in those so I was prepared to tolerate the fact there was no emphatic point of interest, beyond a couple of oystercatchers which were prepared to stick around for a twenty second exposure!! Oh, and yes I should have been more specific about the CPL. In the segment I was referring to shooting down the stream which was that about right angles to the sun that time. 😀👍
Excellent David. Fabulous location. Top stuff from you both, hope Jeff enjoyed Rambo Griffs hospitality. Really enjoyed as always David 👍
Was a pleasure to meet someone from so far away, as he can't easily hang out at the northern meets - but I'd always found his vlogs very engaging
I saw your IG post for that first one--cracking shot! I really like the Park & Shoot concept. Fortunately, I can get out and about very easily but there are plenty of folks who cannot and these types of guides are invaluable. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Jeff
Hi Jeff - yes as a series it's gone down really well. I guess there are a lot of people who assume that my locality being quite wild and rugged means that it's always necessary to be relatively physically capable to get to be epic locations. And as I hope to demonstrate, that's not entirely the case. 😀👍
Great vlog shame there wasn't some good waves churning to add a bit of a zing for you both but the sunset was good and you captured it well.
Yeah after weeks of solid south-westerlies it dropped off a couple of days earlier 😀👍
Another enjoyable vlog and some lovely images. 👍 Was this filmed on the osmo pocket?
Thanks Mike, yes I've been using the Osmo Pocket for everything lately, I'm finding it extremely good quality and very easy to use
@@DGriffGallery Thanks. Very impressed with the quality. I have bought one.
Nice one David as always but you really should know that a polariser is next to useless when facing into or directly away from the sun. Tsk tsk! :-D
Of course, you'd already guessed that that segment was referencing my earlier composition along the stream, at about 80deg to the sun, and were just engaging in a gentle and light-hearted ribbing of someone you know to be highly experienced and capable 😀👍
@@DGriffGallery Of course! If that's what you call 80 degrees then who am I to argue 😀😀 *cough* 😀😀
HAHAHA
