What a great video, and I recognise quite a lot of the places you visited. I could have spent every day of my 7 day holiday up in Dinorwic Quarry…….is it being selfish to say that preferably just me and my camera..!! Only came back home to Yorkshire yesterday, and been up and around the quarry quite a few times. Can’t wait to head back into Snowdonia.

Thanks for that explanation. I don't use my TS-E as much as I should. Never thought of using the 1.4x with it.

Interesting approach. Any reason why you're not just measuring the height of the camera above the intended plane of focus and using a tilt-table to work out the degree of tilt?

Stunning work throughout! Are most of the shots at the end from your first morning stop that day at Aiguille du Midi? I particularly love the shot at 24:08, 24:30 (and the panorama between those two), and 25:31 (what gorgeous light)!

Brilliant footage and I did a recent video with the drone flying around the quarry. One of many parts to come as it's an amazing place. Thanks for sharing.

Why not just focus stack with a nice 24 mm prime or a sharp 24-70 mm F2.8 zoom?

Great ,greater greatest explanation without to much technical confusing details. Thank you Greg

😂👌

What happened to Torridon part one ?

That's the exact same place where Mike Smith did his film photography video! Great video by the way!

SlateForms are outstanding. Congrats! Love Dinorwic, its absolutely nuts....enjoying revisting via these vids

Chitty chat chat chat...

Gday from Australia

This is the only video I know of that actually explains the technique of achieving focus with a digital camera. 1. Compose and set aperture, etc. 2. Focus on the foreground. 3. Tilt for background focus. 4. Alternatively refocus and re-tilt until you've nailed it. Thanks Greg!

Greg you are so bloody funny, wish you was still on here, this is great comedy and nobody does this, everything is so serious KZbin about landscape photography, I just love this type of stuff

A most practical primer! Most videos on this subject dwell on and on about the technical aspects of lens tilt that it seems so difficult to use. Also, another benefit of tilting that seems to go largely unmentioned is that by using tilt you can use much wider apertures to shoot at higher shutter speeds, e.g. F/5.6 vs F/16 when photographing a field of flowers blowing about in the wind.

To avoid sounding silly do some research as to the place your talking about. The long "distribution she'd" was a very large mill for processing the slate, as for not interesting its huge aprox 2 football pitchs, if you can't find a good composition your not looking hard enough.

The "trolly" is part of a blond in. It was a wire rope haulage system that raised and lowered waggons. The winding wheel is a compressed air winch, depending which one it could have been part of the blond in. Love the photos.

I've been to the quarry a number of times but not as far as you. Love the dramatic start and the pooch. Brilliant photography. The only comment I can make is WOW. Thank you.

Nice👏👏👏should we call you big G? Based on the epic shots and the icon next to your name?

Nice, thanks 👏👏 starts at 5mins if you are impatient.

Don't Bore us. Get to the Chorus.... good , but long winded, sorry.!

is it free to go here? is there easy parking? also how far to walk to get to the main levels?

Tears came to my eyes hearing these men (especially men) talking about mental health issues and anxiety. I know from personal experience that time is nature can be very healing. I wish you the best! Cheers!

Brilliant, thanks for posting I thoroughly enjoyed all four parts and you've been a massive help with locating several subjects I want to shoot there, all but one that is, another video of Dinorwic I've seen features two carts loaded with slate and still sat on tracks, but for the life of me I can't locate them, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places or perhaps they've since been moved or buried in a rock slide, can you help? Thank and keep up the good work 👏

Tells members of public to fuck off, I'm in. Subscribed.

so, what you have to do: 1. decide upon foreground and backgroud 2. focus on the foreground with the focus ring 3. focus on the background with the tilt knob 4. accept that it will take few attempts, each time the adjustment should be less

what was the end bit all about bud?

Fine Image, but as we could not see the screen while you was setting up the system it would have been nice to show at least the images during the diverse steps.

Sorry Greg but you're doing it wrong. To use this lens for tilt focus you first have to use your focus ring to focus onto the mid-way point of your subject. Then tilt until the closest and further distance points are in focus.

Hi Greg, great video, thank you. Just curious if you have to press the depth of field button when checking sharp focus at near or far subject? Otherwise the dof showing is that of widest aperture- f3.5? Thank you from N.Z!

Do you actually believe a single word that comes out of your face as you're talking? Or are you just an awful snowflake gassed-out bigoted old prick?

After watching your other clips.. You are an awful bigoted human being.

Great vlog, just watched all four of them, really enjoyed them Greg, kudos. And that final image at 18'03.....Gwych ! Brilliant

I found your video by accident Greg, and what a joy, finally a good, knowledgably vlog, regarding possible photo opportunities in the quarry, I liked your capture of the cottages at 20.34, finally a different and overlay much better perspective of the scene. Thank you. Thanks for the share, I'll move on to part two now. Blwyddyn newydd dda as we say here in Llanberis

Just so I'm clear, you made a video to diss other KZbin photographers/channels for 'lying' that they take successful images frequently, and your only real b-roll footage was two sequences of you walking over the same bridge twice from 5m apart, and then you didn't post any landscape photography? I'm failing to see the beef myself

¡Qué hermosa foto! Felicitaciones.

Thanks Greg, a nice explanation! Where in Snowdonia is this please? Thanks. PS. "Slightly" grumpy at the end...

Great video! and like the your reaction at the end of the video! Good job Greg!

Why when readjusting the tilt, you tilt it up not down?

Was there last week, we started from the valley bottom near the entrance to the hydro plant. Anglesey barracks is a real treat on the way up following the inclines. Amazing place.

BOOM!

Thank you Greg. So informative after all the other TSE vids I have watched. No waffle, no 'how wonderful', and great frankness on an emotional front. Keep up the good work

Fantastic series Greg. I am hoping to visit in early July fingers crossed. Great inspiration for some images. Thank you

Tedius..

Man's impact on the global temperature is ridiculously small. These periods of melting and freezing are a minutes in historic scale but just a bit too long for us to get our heads around. So smart guys and girls invent an explanation for why the ice melts - CO2!!! (of which we in fact have too little) - and they easily makes us all guilty because they own all the fancy models and nobody care to investigate the "problem" themselves. Then the smarties begin to take money to save our souls, and soon they own an environmental industry. But actually we are facing a new cooling period - a new ice age. Get your batteries topped up and return with a video of the 3 to 5 kilometer high ice barrier we Europeans faced last time. It'll be back, I promise.

Amazing natural landscape. Very relaxing to watch.

Some well spoken words of dismay. Much the same as 'Hurry up and get the ........ out of my shot'. 🤣🤣 Love to know the location of this.

Great video!
