excellent shots as usual. Thanks for sharing and it was worth the wait to scaffolding to go.

glorious light and wonderful detail on the wooden jetty. there, I've done it - a comment without a failed attempt at humour 🙂

Great location and you had some superb conditions with that sky, lovely images throughout. Thanks for sharing

Wonderful as per usual ! The colour of the water and the flow on the rocks did it for me 😍😍

Lovely images Izzy, particularly the first one of the jetty at 6:50 with a wonderful sky beautifully captured.

What a lovely morning. When you showed the histogram for the first image it clearly indicated you didn't blow out the highlights and it also showed that you had substantial shadows. Obviously you recovered some of the shadows but how do you decide how much of the shadows you want to recover? Is it just what you feel is right? Recovering too much of the shadows always seems to create a really awkward looking image to me? In the later image for which you showed the histogram the light had brightened enough such that you didn't really have a shadow issue. Just curious how make the judgement. Beautiful images as always.

Thanks again Izzy really appreciate the tips with settings and composition, my standout was the 1st image at 6:50. great positioning of the jetty

I was wondering about the fence, and how the newness of it would work with the seasoned structure: when I saw the B&W at 13:30-ish, I just thought it was wonderful! I thought it was a terrific old-and-new blend. Watching the clip, it's remarkable that the light builds so very quickly. The final image at 23 minutes captured my attention. The bulge of the not-quite-a-wave around the middle of the image led my eye along to the rocks coming in from the distant right. I liked it very much, and shall have to watch out for that next year when I get dispensation to visit the sea again.😉 Thanks for another wonderful clip.

Nice shots, as usual. Looks like a pleasing morning out. I do remember this spot from previous videos too. Always interesting how the same places change - in some way, even if only for the conditions - each time we go.

Very nice video Izzy, lovely images and thanks for sharing. I love watching you how you make your pics, I learn a lot from you and makes me want to go out and try the same. Thx.😊👍

Absolutely beautiful images, and your video sooo nice to watch ..... like a Sunday treat for me. I just wonder why they put this "not so nice" fence on this jetty. It's not really a big jetty and the use of timber instead would have been a lot nicer.

Awesome video Izzy..well done mate😊

Shoot you long exposure then shoot a short exposure to capture the man made objects sharp and comp them together in post.

I really liked the composition of the dock on the one around 18:50 and all the work you put into it. The age of the wood seems to tell quite a story of the many who have gone up and down and walked there, and yet the wood looked rich at the same time, with character I guess I would say. Having the sun almost set on that one was so appropriate.

loving those Images.. I like the black and white on the jetty.. that's works. I would love to try a bit more on long exposure.. but.. I love the waves action. Hope we can catch up again. take care.

Loving those images Izzy.........thank you for your explanations when setting the scene. That is what makes your videos so interesting. Cheers 😁

Inspiring video, Its like that where we stay in our van at Xmas, beautiful spot but getting a great shot has eluded me for years, if the tide is right the sky is grey or blue if the sky is good the tide is not. I'm determined to get a good picture & will keep trying until I do!

great video as always i learn somthing new when i watch your videos sorry i didnt get back to you on the subject of IR i havent been on for awhile lzzy i use a d7000great camera i do every with it any camera will do the job the only pain is you will need a lens that wont flare on the photo you look up on the net to find a lens suit your camera cheers brother

Glad they maintain the jetty. Too easy to pull them down to save maintenance expense. I agree with Helen the second last image with the sun just up is a beauty. Gladl to see you conquered your nemesis.

Morning Izzy and Raffy! Perseverance really pays off! The jetty shots just fantastic and so worth the effort waiting for. Great lessons in image composition too - just moving a little to give that perfect balance. The last two images though are my favourite - the sun just over the horizon with the beams across the water balancing the rocks on the right - but I do so love long exposures - this one was sublime. So happy to see Raffy all better. See you next week!!

Sorry to be so late making a comment, I did watch on Sunday! I would have been completely flumoxed with the movement of the metal railings - would have thought ME FIRST doing something wrong, then maybe the camera! Would have taken me forever to figure it out. Such a valuable lesson there though!!! Stunningly beautiful images in the end, the moodiness of the sky and the water, sublime. Aside from the photos...I also love the choices you make with the music you do for background when displaying the finished photos....Give a pat to Raffy, hope he is back to his old self.

I’m so happy that you decided to go back however what is it with that? Gate? Why is it there and what’s the story with this Moving?

What on earth is that gate/fence structure? Is it the Australian equivalent of Trumps Mexican border fence? I have no idea how you conjure up such magical images from such bare beaches…well done mate

I wouldn't have expected the railings/fence to be moving, and it would have flummoxed me (and I guess many others) as well. Still, reasoning-out the situation paid dividends, and as always, we were treated to some glorious images. Loved the minimal palette of colours around 9:20 - these images appeal to me greatly. I feel like nature has selected just one row of a Dulux colour chart. Thanks for taking the time to bring this all to us.

that weather! like, welcome to Wales!!!! seriously, that beach looked an ankle-breaker. even in my younger rock-hopping days I'd have been overly cautious there. the image at 9:15 is just sublime. the dark but muted colours perfectly match the mood and conditions, and the exposure time (you know I prefer shorter over longer!!) is spot on. one of your finest in my opinion Izzy mate 🙂 I also really like the narrow frame at 21:00 - can see that in a gallery 🙂

I've had that happen to me, thought what I was shooting was solid and turned out it was moving. Very frustrating until you figure it out. Thanks for sharing and have a great week

Love your dedication and determination Izzy, well done some beautiful images 👍

📷👍

Thank Izzy. I missed Raffy today. Hope he's doing ok. Great video as always.

Well Izzy you really had a very adventurous time there with those moving iron railings. Still you showed us that it's best to keep at it and finally work out the problem. Some beautiful images Izzy, the image at 9:16 stood out for me and the Pano at the completion was great. I also agree with the fact using a soft grad in the field is really helpful instead of waiting to do it all in post. Thanks for the great video and have a safe week.

great images.. yes.. it's hard to know why an image is moving or not.. I love all of the images. Maybe next time.. someone go out there and get some concrete mix to hold that fence down .. lol it's makes a great subject or story.

Thanks for showing us when and why things sometimes don't work! You are always up for a challenge!!

As I was watching you trying to capture the railings I kept thinking why haven't you noticed those stunning clouds over the rocks. Just my opinion but I found the rocks a far more interesting subject than the railings. The clouds over the rocks just before the rain were very dramatic. But who am I to judge what you want to capture. You have to pursue what speaks to you. You were fortunate in sticking around because the light was stunning after the rain passed. Your persistence paid off and you got the image with the railings you were in pursuit of, at least I hope you were satisfied. I thought it was quite nice. Beautiful images as always.

Many thanks again Izzy for a wonderfully informative session, including how to scale rocks like that proverbial mountain goat 😅. That movement had me fooled as well. Beautiful images again, the colours in the rocks....wow. That pano though, gorgeous!! I'm looking forward to your next instalment ........cheers 😁

Frustrating shoot! I know how you feel every time I try a long exposure around my local area the wind picks up the trees, grass etc. move. The only way I can fix the picture involves a lot of fiddly blending.

Thanks Izzy, any of us would have been caught out by that moving subject. Watching your work gives me a great start to my day.👏

great images.. with poor light you can get great images. Been there a number of times.. you need to check out the Ruins.. that's not far from the Falls, that's another drive to the corner. I don't want to give the location on here.

So wonderful to get this tute on woodland photography _a la Aussie bush._ So often I've seen similar scenes whilst striding along a path and been a bit mystified as to how to extract an image from it. Loved the froth of green at the base, then the "traditional" olives above. Thanks again, Izzy.

That was some angle for sure but the shot worked very well ! Raffi looked regal with his waterfall pose :-) loved the waterfall images

Hey Izzy. Good for you for battling on through inclement weather. It was interesting to see you playing around with the different shutter speeds of the waterfall. Particularly at your 32 mil end, a lot of of my teachings are ( when on workshops) that long exposures make less difference to the sensor when playing around with shutter beads when they are in the distance, particularly exaggerated by wider lenses. I had to look and look and look to try and see the difference between them. Quite interesting. Your last shot that you grabbed on the way back home, my favourite of the day. That's actually beautiful well done. Regards, Ewan

Great video again Izzy, well done on that first woodland image, I really like how that came out. Also the final image worked really nicely. Thanks for sharing and have a great week

The last one is my favourite. Thank you Izzy..

Thanks for sharing a lovely woodland scene and great waterfall images Izzy. Just keep demonstrating how to deal with poor light and difficult conditions. I'm itching to get out at present, but have been sidelined for several weeks with a health problem that is, thankfully, getting better and I'll be out again next week.

What a superb set of images and I love the textures in the wood. I always feel that seeing the textures in a subject makes the viewing a more satisfying experience.

I used to have a camo fleece just like yours Izzy. I put it down one day in the woods and couldn't find it... sorry. on a serious note, love the exposure blend at 10:30 keeping some detail in the falls but showing off the lovely swirl in the plunge pool 🙂 we're in the middle of a really strange autumn drought right now. really dull, cloudy weather but no rain for the past 2 weeks and none on the horizon either. it's a weird one for sure!

Great work with those busier subjects which really required thinking about all the technical aspects of photography!

Corker images Izzy, what beautiful falls. The BnW were amazing and the colour images brought out the surrounding grasses wonderfully. Congrats to your great assistant Raffy for showing so much patience and not wanting to chase rocks. BTW, you must be part mountain goat to clamber up to that vantage point 😉

The b&w images were particularly nice though the rich greens in the color versions were very appealing as well. The foreground in the first image I think made the image. It gave a solid base to a complex mid-ground and background. Your gear captured the branches beautifully so that they didn't become a blurry web. Very nicely done.. Thanks for the comparison of the results of different shutter speeds. Beautiful images as always.

Morning Izzy! trouble with positioning your camera at an angle? then check out Nisi positioning bracket. Has been my go to for angled shots. (Replaces L bracket). Love the result with the trees. What a great little waterfall too - the pattern made by the swirling water was so beautiful and it was worth waiting the rain out for that last image - stunning in B&W. Raffy was such a good boy today too - give him an extra pat. See you next week
