A classic location but definitely not one to miss out out because it's been photographed before. You got fantastic light and created some great images.

[@LeePelling]

Thanks Andrew , certainly is a photogenic bit of our coastline and full of such history , be a crime not to photograph it when in the area !

Hi Lee lovely to see where you visited and some stunning piece of coastline. There is no way I’d have crossed that sketchy bit of path so well done for making it past there. Beautiful images, stunning light and lovely to see some heather in the foreground. Really enjoyed the video and images thanks for sharing Adele & Max 😀

[@LeePelling]

Thanks for watching, its a lovely part of the Country , the coastline is so dramatic, and these two Engine Houses have been photographed thousands of times im sure , but it was a first for me and one i wanted to see. I may have tweaked the colours to bring the heather back as it had died off by the time we got there :-o . Take care.

Nice one Lee - I wouldn't trust my legs over that track - well done you and some interesting lovely images to boot.

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate , it's a great location.

What a location Lee! Never been to that part of England before but reminds me of a few places I've visited on my trips to Wales. That first shot at 3:20 has such lovely golden light but loved the 25 second long exposure! The vertical 6:12 had a beautiful painterly (as Nigel Dansen calls it) look to it. Wow, that certainly was a sketchy walk down/up that path! One wrong step to either side....Great video to start the day here mate. Really enjoyed it and glad you had a great time away! Have a wonderful week over there!

[@LeePelling]

Thanks Paul, it really is a stunning location but this time of year when the sun sets it casts some beautiful light on the side of the old mines and the little bay with al the rocks beneath , i tried to edit each image slightly differently as the compositions were so similar , but the light was stunning , just a little to much cloud on the horizon to produce any real colour in the sky but the light on the mines was lovely. That little path out to the shooting spot is not for anyone who suffers with vertigo and maybe not in high winds but worth the effort to get out there . Take care mate .

[@DanielWretham]

Always wanted to go here and never have ! It’s on the list for sure. Looks like you got some lovely light too, great pics especially the ones with the heather in the foreground, really helped the image IMO

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate , wish I got there earlier, by the time I set up at the spot I was I didn't really have time to scout round for more compositions, it's a great sunset location with far more on offer than I showed here, get there early if your planning a trip ! The heather had been and gone to be honest but managed some selective colour enhancements in Photoshop to bring it back to the colour I thought it might be !

[@ijo58media2]

What an absolutely beautiful location Lee and your images are amazing!!! The location reminds me of several nice spots on the Island of Oahu.

[@LeePelling]

Thanks for watching , yes its a great location but wish i got there earlier to be honest

[@Robert-Bishop]

This is a location I didn't know about, but it's fantastic. Great subject, great light, and equally great shots. I think 4:16 was my fave, but also quite liked the black and white shot, later in the vid. I was listening to Tori Amos' new album today, which is inspired by Cornwall (she lives there). Beautiful part of the world - I need to get back there soon! Great vlog mate, really enjoyed that. 🙂

[@LeePelling]

Thanks Robert , its a bigger site than i have shown here , wish i got there earlier to really explore the location but only went for sunset as we were there but well worth a visit .

[@PhotosByFinch]

Some fantastic images Lee, my favourites were 10:02 and 10:19 with the tighter crop 👍

[@LeePelling]

Thanks Ben, just wish i gave myself a bit longer as there was so much more there but im happy with the images i got but not really enough B roll or other compositions would have been nice

[@RobOutenPhotography]

Wow, tgat light you had on the Mines was fantastic. I really like the at 8.18, the black and white rendition really adds drama to the image. Thanks for sharing Mate and take care, 👍 📸

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate , got there about hour before sunset , really wish I had got there earlier to be honest so many more compositions but being out on that ledge is a little limiting from there but great location . Thanks mate .

[@RobOutenPhotography]

@@LeePelling I think you could spend a whole year at this location and only scratch the surface of possible composition. There is so much to shoot, classic compositions to more unique compositions up by the old workings near the car park. 👍📸

[@KenbismoimaginatioN]

amazing channel ... have a nice day 😀🍵

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate , you too

[@krisographystudios]

Some seriously good shots, love the 3rd at iso 100 🤣 rookie error, love it , great place, great shots 👍

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate , at least it was iso 50 and not 1600 , done that before !

[@krisographystudios]

@@LeePelling yep, sometimes I use auto iso the forget and end up shoot1/ 8000 @iso6400 🤣🤣

[@peterviragphoto]

Stunning location and an amazing subject to photograph mate. Really loved the whole series of images you took. You should print some of those, they looked amazing. Stay safe, later mate:)

[@LeePelling]

Thanks mate , is a great location sadly i did not give myself long enough , should of got to the location earlier to get some extra B roll and scout out more compositions but i was just happy to be there at that stage

[@peterviragphoto]

@@LeePelling hehe ! It happens, you still got some ripper shots!

[@DionKedianPhotography]

Well done Lee, glad I found your channel. Which model camera bag are you using there? Looks like mine but a bit different. Thanks from the Canadian Rocky Mountains!

[@LeePelling]

Hi Dion, this is the Shimoda Action X50 camera bag with a medium dslr v2 core unit , only had it a couple of months and really liking it, i had the lowepro whistler 450aw , great bag but pretty heavy on it own. Thanks for watching mate appreciate it. Just off to work but will have to check out your channel when i get home . Thanks again mate.

[@DionKedianPhotography]

@@LeePelling Hey thanks Lee! Thought I recognised it. Thanks fornthe subscribe to, hope you enjoy the videos! 👍
