A Photographers Journey ep1 // The Ogwen Valley - Snowdonia

Today I take a tour of the wonderful Ogwen valley in the Welsh national park of Snowdonia. During the video, I chat about the walks, hikes, camping, photographic opportunities and creat a platinum palladium print.

I grew up in line of sight of those mountains and am a Welsh speaker and want to say thank you so much for the effort to pronounce the names! It's not easy to read as the vowel letters are pronounced very differently to how they would in an English word. You did great, and I bet if you lived nearby, you'd make friends very, very quickly and learn the lingo. It's all about the effort. Well appreciated. Awesome photos, too! After leaving Wales many years ago, never having taken many photos and having only a crappy camera, I now live in the arse end of inner city Athens, have top notch camera gear, but no desire to photograph as nothing comes close to the beauty of a rugged landscape. Enjoy it, and thanks again!

[@rudigerweber9884]

The more I see their videos of the National Parks GB, the more I have the desire to visit them! Beautiful greeting from Germany

[@ian_worth]

You should, they are wonderful. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏😀

[@tobyjugg6202]

As a proper local you did a fine job in trying to pronounce the names - for an Englishman that was impressive !! :) Good on ya for having a proper go. Loved the printing scenes, reminded me of being back in school doing all that stuff in a darkroom in Physics lessons or after school - proper education in them days lol Very enjoyable vlog Ian - big thumbs up.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@darrenkitchin3478]

Another excellent video, looking forward to the next one😃

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀😀🙏

[@michaelt7320]

Really enjoyed this and found it informative for the walks as well as the photography. I thought that I would not be especially interested in the printing process, but you proved me wrong. You've set the bar high for the rest of the series. Really looking forward to the next one!

[@grahamegannon9708]

I am originally from around that area which was a bit nostalgic seeing the Ogwen valley and surrounding area. I now live in Scotland and one day hope to visit there again. You were not bad for an English man on the pronunciations which was amusing for me as a Welsh man!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching buddy, I tried my best 🤣👍👍🙏

[@aidanh5454]

Fantastic video Ian. I guess the format has been driven by necessity of producing content whilst in lockdown but have to say I think you’ve come up with a fantastic solution. Really enjoyed watching your print process whilst also seeing the area and background to the original shot. The pacing and editing were excellent. The print looked superb to me. Think this is one of my favourites of your videos and quite inspiring for when we can travel again. Thank you.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, glad you liked it 😀🙏🙏

[@paulwayman5137]

Really enjoyed this Ian. Both the area and the printing were a refreshing watch.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul 🙏🙏😀

[@jcwestberry]

Really enjoy your videos Ian. You're teaching me more about tone splitting, composition, masking and editing than I've learned from any other photographer. Would love to shoot together - it's artists like you that challenge me to improve my photography. Thank you.

[@levunit2265]

Brilliant video, one of my all time favourite locations to visit with my camera. Awesome images with a fantastic print process 😉

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀😀🙏

[@ChrisJones-id7qq]

Great idea Ian - this one needs to be seen on the tv as my phone just wont do it justice!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Chris 👍👍🙏

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

Really enjoyed watching you develop that print. Looking forward to seeing more vids from this series, the footage was fantastic, its really helpful to see and get some information about these fantastic locations.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😀😀🙏

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

@@ian_worth had a look at the routes on your website Ian, which is best for the waterfalls in the foreground (don't know the name) with the Lake and mountain I'm the background

[@wayneroberts075]

I'm local-ish and can honestly say you got the names alot better than most people, really missing being out there at the moment so this was very nice to see.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Wayne, that's good to know 👍👍🙏

A top class video and some excellent images, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@suzannemullaney3205]

I liked the print and the process, very enjoyable.

[@ian_worth]

Awesome, thank you! 😀🙏🙏

[@kafountineful]

An excellent presentation - the idea of linking information about an area with a printing process related to it is quite unique and of course, very informative. In addition, yes your videos have developed over the past couple of years to the outstanding content you now produce. And I like the way you have attempted to provide something a little different as you document your own journey through landscape photography.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it Trevor, you're kind words mean a lot buddy 🙏🙏😀

What a great video! Very interesting. Great footage too. You have a new subscriber. Thanks for posting.

Loved the format of the vlog .Great work Ian .

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul 😀🙏

[@indianwinter]

As film photography is making a comeback, this was inspiring to watch and learn. Even though this was done by your digital camera, I enjoyed the process. I like how you joined the process of the print with your journey in the mountains. Thumbs up again.

[@ian_worth]

Glad you enjoyed it Mark 🙏🙏😀

[@brendanlynch7296]

Super idea for a video series and so well put together. As for the photos, it was great seeing those winter shots of Tryfan and Lynn Idwal again, they are probably my favourites of yours, and some of my all time favourite landscape shots, period.

[@ian_worth]

Thank you very much Brendan, really appreciate that 🙏🙏😀

[@mr.meowmeow505]

Absolutely fantastic. Need to visit Wales I reckon.

[@ian_worth]

It's a wonderful place 😀😀🙏

[@TrishGant]

Beautiful work Ian. I'm a bit (a bit???) old school so I'd like to see the process of getting the digital image printed onto acetate to make the print. Keep up the good work.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Trish, check out my new video, i go through the whole process kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIm4hJSObdujfpo

Loved this, Ian. Looking forward to your next video showing the processing of that print.

An excellent and enjoyable video. I loved the format of the video. Combining photography, walking and developing in a pleasurable 16mins. I hope this is the first of your photography guides worth walking.

Beautiful images mate.

Really enjoyed this Ian. Love the Ogwen and can recall the wild camp & hike when you went up Tryfan. Very interesting way to print a digital image too, it look very good. Atb Alan

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Alan, means a lot buddy 👍👍😀

[@juliettemansour]

Well done, Ian! I cannot wait to travel again and this has now gone to the top of my list. Seems simply magical. As an ongoing show, I love this a lot - especially how you interspersed the palladium printing between footage. I am very interested in the process. I have a darkroom but have only done black and white printing. I have a friend who has been trying to get me into palladium so I will definitely tune in for the next one. Thank you!

[@ian_worth]

That's awesome Juliette, platinum & palladium is a fantastic process, just a shame its so expensive otherwise I would be doing it a lot more. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏😀

[@terrymartin9598]

Great video Ian I've done the ogwen valley twice as you say it is amazing scenery and indeed keeps on giving, beautiful montains. Your channel is getting better and better and gives me loads of enjoyment viewing the English countryside as l now live in Canada keep them coming. Well done with names by the way. Cheers Terry.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Terry, glad you are enjoying the videos mate 🙏🙏👍

great video !

[@barrynoon1812]

Its an area I haven't really considered, but has now been added to my ever growing "bucket list" if we ever get out of this awful lockdown!! Can't say that I enjoy your developing side of things but hey ho some great captures!!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Barry 👍

One of the places on my list to visit first after lockdowns are lifted. Nice video Ian cheers

i’m 18, just getting into photography and i can’t wait to progress. needless to say, i love your work.

[@ian_worth]

Awesome! Thank you! 🙏🙏👍

[@badger67]

As a born and bred Bangor lad, you're making me extremely homesick young man, as I haven't been home for about 8 years. Good work 😋. Beautiful photography as ever and I do like this format regarding the developing, routes and walks. I hope you don't mind, but some pronunciations for you. 'Y' on it's own is pronounced 'u' as in tr'u'ck. The same applies in the middle of words such as Glyder Fawr. Y on the end or 2nd letter from last is pronounced 'e' such as speed. So Llyn (e), or ysbyty (hospital) 'u'sb'u'te. But good effort non the less and thank you.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated. I will keep practising 😀🙏🙏

[@trevhillphotography7852]

I had no idea about that developing process. Have you ever used it for wedding clients,? awesome USP.

[@ian_worth]

Not yet! its probably a bit niche for weddings, but would be pretty cool to do though. Thanks for watching Trev 😀😀🙏

[@rodgerholden3855]

Very interesting Ian but I was a bit lost on how you got the digital image negative to start the printing process?

[@ian_worth]

Hey rodg, check out this weeks video, i go through the whole process kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIm4hJSObdujfpo

[@richardpowellTV]

Some very nice shots there Ian. Would you kindly answer this question. Your drone footage is very smooth and I've read that ideally you should match the frame rate of aerial footage with with the frame rate you use for the rest of your video? So could you confirm this or not and let me know what you use? Many thanks!

[@ian_worth]

Hi, i usually shoot my video at 24 frames per second, its all nice and smooth like that. Sometimes i shoot my drone footage at 60 frames per second and slow it down to 24 frames per second in premier, that way i can get the slow motion shots of the waterfalls etc.. 👍👍

[@richardpowellTV]

Many thanks Ian!

[@general_crap]

alley is one my favourite places to visit. How are print sales doing at the moment? Are you seeing an increased interest during these strange times?

[@ian_worth]

Hi Gareth, print sales are a little up and down, November and December was good but January not so. To be expected though I think 👍👍

[@general_crap]

@@ian_worth ​ it as meant to say The Valley not alley. I'm glad the sales have gone okay and hope they pick up as the year goes on. Loving the platinum palladium prints they looks fantastic

[@iaincphotography6051]

Ian, I found this for you, it may help a little> www.go4awalk.com/fell-facts/welsh-language-pronunciation.php You can always ask the Ranger at Ogwen. For sure those beautiful mountains sound better pronounced in Welsh. 75% of the population in Gwynedd speak Welsh as their first language! Great shots and thanks for some great footage brings back many good memories.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, i will take a look 👍👍🙏
