Bioluminescent Plankton in Wales is a MUST-SEE!

Some clips of the bioluminescent plankton from a recent night on the coastline of Gower in Wales. I will soon be sharing a video about 'everything you need to know' about the plankton.

[@kakarotto883]

I'm left speechless in front of such beauty, it reminds me of the first time I saw Aurora Borealis, this is a must see show

[@jock-of-ages73]

Didn't even know that this happened on UK shores, I'm absolutely stunned.

[@borntraveller007]

Was going to say the same 👀 Wow!!

[@siegfriednoet]

This happens everywhere at the coast, here in Belgium and the Netherlands we have this a few months per year, absolutely fabulous to see this, truly magical

[@borntraveller007]

@@siegfriednoet Been all round Europe in my camper and never seen this before! Will be checking out this phenomenon in future.... right place, right time👍

[@siegfriednoet]

@@borntraveller007 problem is that most of the time the bioluminescent plankton is best visible after midnight and only during summer months and especially after a hot day. I made some great photo's last year when I was at nighthunt for comet Neowise Good luck, it's truly magical 👍

[@borntraveller007]

@@siegfriednoet Thanks, will keep a look out👍

[@Des7iny7]

You made me cry. That was so beautiful. Thank you Alyn 😍

[@wesleydonnelly2141]

Very rare i write a second comment to a YT vid but this one deserves it! This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life, and i never even knew it was only a couple hours drive away from where i live!?? Speechless...Wes, Liverpool, Uk.

[@roberthennessey128]

Wow just wow..blown away by this beauty. Thanks Alyn stunning capture.

Anyone else tear up watching this? Absolutely beautiful!

Agreed…Got Me Right In The Feels❤️🙏🏼❤️✨✨✨

[@missmotokel]

What a beautiful effect these little ones have on the sea. What a treat to see this! The music also adds to the peacful bliss. What is the music please? 🎵

[@gav9341]

That's absolutely spectacular, the stars & the waves

[@martynh5410]

This is one of the best videos on KZbin. As a kid, I used to spend Summer Holidays in South Wales. It was nice to revisit this area and especially to see the Plankton glowing in the dark! Great job Alyn!

[@StevenJacksonMusic]

Absolutely beautiful. mesmerizing actually, thanks for posting this. I noticed one person hit the dislike button, they must have done that by mistake.

[@kalo0806]

You're living my dream life. Seeing the auroras, milkyway, bioluminescence. Love it!!!!

[@judithgash1845]

That was beautiful. Thank you for showing this. 👩‍🦳🖐❤

[@susanparrott5175]

Thank you for showing me something I'll never get to see. You inspire me! Thank you!

[@billgorman8414]

I’ve experienced this off the wake of my cruising sailing vessel Blue Dream. It’s a truly amazing thing to see. It actually illuminated the cockpit in the middle of the night!

[@triestwildriders5922]

Stunning, all is perfect...night sky, milky way, sound of the waves and the bioluminescence... (that also reminds me of Avatar! 🙂)

[@michaelsaltsman7550]

another awesome video Alyn just beautiful im off to Anglesey next month maybe ill try getting some shots although after my reconstructive surgery maybe a little difficult

[@grahamkeegan2706]

I'll be there myself, at what will probably be an absolutely packed location once the first photos have appeared. last time i was there in 2019, it was hard to even get to the waters edge for people :(

[@becky0710]

This is completely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing such a Phenomenal sight.

[@theweirdphase3057]

Fantastic footage and soundtrack , beautiful 😊

[@fazergazer]

I’ve heard of this phenomenon. But to see it like this is the next best thing to bing there. Wow!!! It’s so much brighter than I expected!! Makes you think that Earth is one of the most beautiful planets in the universe!

[@taurus7228]

Awesome show.. i live on an island in the indian ocean. These marine organisms are often seen at some of the shores here too, although not in so much high concentration. 👍

[@frednorman1]

I grew up in San Diego, Southern California. As a teenager, I surfed, And I can remember nights with the so-called “red tide” where the bio luminescence outlined our arms and legs as we paddled...

[@msingrey14]

That is extraordinary and absolutely beautiful.

[@PafMedic]

Beautiful,and Weird..This Was On Strange Evidence One Night,They Think It May Have Been Swept Up In a Cloud and Was Glowing From Brazil To Pennsylvania..I Saw It..Wow…I Miss California,Thats Amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank You So Much Always For a Wonderful Light Show,No Matter Where The Light Came From,Stay Safe,and God Bless❤️🙏🏼🔭✨🌏

[@briansbuildsandoutdoors4936]

I'm certain that I saw something similar when I lived in North Wales many years ago, I have a feeling it was more green than blue though. It was a long time ago so I may be wrong. The incredible beauty of nature never ceases to give me joy.

[@ryanscottadair7236]

The glowing water looks so cool

[@lathajes6199]

WoW WoW. Awesome. A wonderful treat . Thank You for being so very thoughtful in sharing.

[@quake3quake3]

Namaste, Spectacular, marvelous, mesmerizing!

[@nov3316]

hey are you from India as well? its very hard to find people interested in this particular genre of photography.

[@RussellsAstrophotography]

Absolutely beautiful, amazing to see!

[@CosmosSafari]

It's surreal. After seeing it for myself and swimming in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico nearly 15 years ago this video makes me want to recapture those moments. Thanks for sharing Alyn. I think you are starting to deviate from JUST astronomy and I have to say I think it shows you are more than just a 1 dimensional KZbin personality. Thanks for being yourself, and showing us how you just have an interest and wonder about all that this universe has to provide. I hope to bring that to my channel eventually as well. Cheers! ~ Dave "Cosmos Safari" Farina

[@coryvanhorn3406]

Imagine what our ancestors thought when seeing that?? Like “OHHHH SHITTT BOYS POSEIDON IS IN THE HOUSSSEEE!!”

[@markattardo]

What an amazing sight!

[@abigaildcosta8195]

How spectacular!! 😍 all I can say is Wow God, you amaze me.

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

Yess was hoping you made a video about it ☆☆☆☆☆ I swimmed init during the heatwave 2y ago ...i see it alot here , was the utter most magical experience ever !! Lighting vibrates of my body ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ But nature did that ❤🌈 10 y ago almost never 🤔

[@iank1638]

That’s so beautiful. Thanks for doing that video!

[@CrisAlexValente]

Absolutely amazing!! I hope one day I get a chance to see that with my own eyes, I think I'll be crying the whole time!....

[@aminayamina7792]

Thank you so much for sharing. That's just wonderful! 💖

[@samuelecantarutti383]

Been down aberavon past 2 nights been beautiful

[@darenhomewood7853]

I love your posts, and was inspired by your Stonehenge vlog recently, however many of your techniques are beyond my reach. I would love a short series around people like myself taking single images and still grasping the basics with very limited budget. What the camera image should look like before processing, basic techniques before and during processing would be great. How to get the best out of a single image. Loving your work though 👍

[@willrossiter5656]

That looks so amazing!

[@PhilHalper1]

Greta stuff as always . Im heading to Wales to try and get a similar shot, any tips on where to go? (Swansea area)

[@cerealkiller4248]

Got super excited and went down tonight, nothing there by 100am and had to call it a night ( work in the morning). Gutted ☹️☹️☹️

Hi, amazing video, thanks for sharing! Where about in Gower did you film this? We live here so it would be a shame to miss it 💔

[@C5films]

Hi Buddy. Can you tell me what settings for VIDEO you employed to capture this? Many thanks. Keep up the amazing work.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

Amazing.i live by the sea,the North Sea off north east England, and have never seen it perhaps it's an Atlantic thing?I did discover Glow Worms via astronomy out stargazing and seeing a hot cigarette burning on the grass asking who on Earth can be out here with me?but much nicer than cigarettes it was Glow Worms.

Alyn bhai I am very exciting to visit this place in night 🌃.

It looks you are in "different waters" now :D. Nice video.

[@billyray323]

I've bo idea what camera you use, however it's amazing mate 😉✌🏻🇬🇧

[@whatuphere]

What device you use for night time vlogging videos.? That stars look prominent with least noise.

[@wesleydonnelly2141]

if ever you needed an explanation why our ancestors believed in spirits, gods, mysterious magical goings on, look no further than this and many other jaw droppingly beautiful natural phenomena both on earth and in the night sky above...Wes, Liverpool, UK

Amazing !

[@JohnPaul-ii]

It’s natures ability to continue to put on these stunning displays that make getting up everyday worthwhile.

[@TreforTreforgan]

I saw this in Porthmadog last year. We went swimming in it, my friends and me. Swimming about in it in the dark made us look like we were living in the title sequence of a James Bond film, except we were hairy blokes and not hot women.

[@nuggetz9380]

You made my little girl cry of Joy , beauty and amazement . She never saw it before 🤩🌈 She was and still is to young to stay up that late 😁😉 Now you made both of ower day , thanks alot for this priceless moment!☆☆☆☆☆ Grtzz from the Netherlands

[@capturingkapitibeyond5583]

Stunning isn't it. I had the enormous pleasure of experiencing this sailing in the deep Western Pacific too, with the added intensity of dolphins darting around us leaving their incredible phosphorescent wakes behind them like vapor trails crisscrossing. Plus add their squeaks of chatter, sublime. That experience will never leave me. Thanks for sharing, John.

[@avt_astro206]

This Is Absolutely beautiful!! I love how you showed the Stars With the Glow of The Planktons. Amazing!🌌

[@NightLightsFilms]

Absolutely nuts man! Well done!

Another great video my dude, hope you are staying safe! Can't wait for more vids this summer!

[@Natureviewmovie]

Wow, stunning footage, must have been awesome to be there! Just a photographers question: what camera and settings did you use to capture this? I have seen it (under the northern lights even), but haven’t managed to capture it yet.

[@LadeLyric]

me too

[@SimonsAstro]

That's just amazing Alyn, I had no idea that this happened on GB shores, I thought it was only exotic places around the world! Great capture and with the stars above, great spectacle!

[@grabbit9215]

That’s so beautiful,thank you for sharing this.

[@xirfan]

James Cameron wants to know your location.

[@chasing_horizonz4526]

Just incredible Alyn. I have been chasing this stuff since the beginning of 2020 here in NZ. Pretty hard to find and capture but when you do, it is just incredible.

"And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams-- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams."

[@paradanglers]

Brilliant, I'd love to have seen that for myself. Thanks for videoing it!!!

I've just purchased my very own 12x8" print off Alyn (South stack lighthouse) STUNNING Thanks and all the best , keep up the amazing stuff you do... Kieran -

[@echoauxgen]

The MOST AWESOME video, You are truly relaxed and having fun under the stars and in the water!!! Looks like the Milky Way above also. Thank You for the share!!

[@DLMVegas]

Hey Alyn, Just an FYI. I got one of those V Platform products and it fixed the problem I was having with shooting the milky way. Just attaching the ball head to the front of the tracker is really awful. Now I can attach the ball head to the V Platform, align it horizontally and attach the camera with much better movement.

[@scs130773]

Wow just wow! You've given me a hell of an idea though. Here in Bermuda we have glow worm season, which are tiny little creatures that mate 3 days after a full moon in the summer time. They emit bioluminescents when they do.....Would be cool to do a bit of a time lapse or long exposure with the ISO turned up.

[@simonblatch5316]

Astonishing, I’m grateful that you persevered. All the wonder of the natural world, the stars, the universe and the magnificence of life on this planet and most of it is blissfully unaware of us. Thanks for posting this.

[@johnbecker4361]

Absolutely beautiful! I Wish i could See it too

[@ramymah]

Hi Alyn! If you don’t mind sharing, what camera did you use to shoot the b-rolls of this video? Thanks ! :)

[@catherinepeach9090]

Absolutely amazing video!!! Please could you tell me what settings you used to capture the sky and waves? 😍

[@dubstepzsi]

Oh my gosh wow 😮 🥰 the stars the blue sea it’s just so breathtaking I hope to capture this one day I’m very early in my Astrophotography days.

[@elliestephenson4511]

Beautiful ✨ - I can’t believe this happens on my doorstep - I want to drive to south Wales now! What time of year and where abouts is this out of curiosity ?

[@lealeemedalla5680]

I wonder why There are so many planktons at the background I mean last night I keep waving my hand from the sea just to see the glow...

[@jonathanburton8688]

Just WOW!! where abouts was this shot please? I'd love to visit sometime, also looks like you can see the milkyway too 👌
