Fine Art Photography Clevedon Marine Lake

I attempt to capture fine art images from Clevedon Marine Lake in this video. As always, things didn't go to plan!
A couple of weeks ago I travelled to Clevedon to witness and photograph something quite special. The Marine Lake fills up with seawater just a few days each year. The source of water comes from the sea breaching a protective wall. The spillover only happens during a spring tide and a day or so on either side. It's quite a thing to see!
I quite enjoyed the challenge even though, as always things didn't go to plan, now there's a surprise.

Still worth it as far as I can see. Thank you for sharing even when you are disappointed.

[@eltinjones4542]

I learnt a long time ago that you take what you get and make the most of it 📷👍

[@599miata]

A splendid area to photograph Gary!

[@Mozzer209]

Wow! Amongst the finest photos I've ever seen!

[@GaryGough]

Not sure about that but kind of you to say 👍👍

[@G0FUW]

Good to see you in Clevedon Gary, a place we visit a few times every year. Never had light and tide like you had, but there is always next year....thanks for sharing.

[@djking9828]

Incredible images, 🙏🍻

[@desgardner7169]

I thought you had a great day there! I was expecting to see the honey pot picture of looking straight up the pier showing the board walk and seats but no you did not go there, however I really liked the main picture that you got. Clevedon is a lovely place to be with a camera. Thanks for taking us there...

[@pathogan4854]

Gutted for you ! but some beautiful photography non the less !!that shot at 3.03 and the video of the wave coming over the wall fantastic !!

[@mikebartow9415]

Very nice. Thanks!

[@butch4111]

Very Inspiring! Thanks

Hi Gary An amazing place. Stunning images. Thanks for sharing 😊👍🙏

Cheers Cath 👍

[@robbieallcock]

Fantastic as usual Gary!😁

[@andyallard5990]

Love them all getting about the second night in the Sun but hey Ho that’s the way it goes thanks for sharing always a pleasure seeing your work Gary❤

[@booties8]

superb Gary. Definitely worth the wait.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Bruce. Hope you’re well? 👍👍

[@booties8]

@@GaryGough all good my friend thank you . Would still love an afternoon in your company for a few pointers !

[@michaelladd3628]

Your videos are a joy whether your plans pan out or not. Your easy style, sense of humor and you explain your thoughts and process for your compositions so clearly. You have to make the effort or success will never be within your reach. Believe me, your photography is exceptional and well worth the time and thought that you put into it. Wishing you great rewards for your future efforts.

[@GaryGough]

Thanks so much! 👍

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

Few things are more valuable to most of us than seeing you fail to get the shot you were after, or to see you share your disappointment. It reminds us that we are not terrible photographers just because we fail - often - and makes it easier to cope with our disappointments and failures, remembering that even the best regularly fail. Cheers.

[@IanBarrowPhotography]

Your spending so much time down here in the south west Gary, your nearly a local. 😁

[@johnspencer1146]

Did you know that if you looked straight down the pier you will see Cardiff directly opposite, nice vlog.

[@johnpunnett1426]

Epic shots Gary and defo suit your style.. the shots from first night with water breaking over the wall were superb...

[@GaryGough]

Thanks 👍

[@Cue1477]

Love your inspiration and determination gary in the great videos you bring to us all. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Robert 👍

[@danielmekis4398]

I really liked the hand railings (first of the last images). Glad you checked it out with the long lens!

[@GaryGough]

Yeah, I was surprised how good it was too. Cheers

[@ianharman3339]

Tide heights are predictions based on a forecast barometric pressure and, as I'm sure you know, the actual barometric pressure can be higher (leading to a lower actual tide height) or lower leading to a higher tide height. Mother Nature will decide as always! Nice images thought and I particularly like the wide images of the pier makes a change from the "along the pier" angle.

[@GaryGough]

The tides were spot on, it was the rubbish light that messed things up AGAIN!

[@macimages4215]

Your gutted is everyone else’s very good image

[@Philhellene1]

I guess that is the tide that causes wave, known as the boar, that runs up the river Wye and people watch and some surf it as it moves along

[@lisasimpson9343]

I enjoy looking at the different places you travel to. I live in Australia. So its all good for me. The images from the first night were gorgeous anyway. Enjoyed it what ever the weather dealt up. Looked like a lovely place to go swimming and I could feel the atmosphere with the people there. Thank you Gary

[@garymccartney6369]

That was a amazing fine art photography. Keep bringing your amazing photography experiences each week.

[@rosssayer6524]

Unfortunately Gary we can't control mother nature, best part was you did come away with some great images and I'm very appreciative of you sharing your tips, tricks and inspiration through your videos.

[@GaryGough]

Many thanks. Cheers Ross 👍👍

[@garrydelday5816]

You can’t beat Mother Nature 🙁 you can only be in the right place at the right time incase she plays ball. Lovely sunset from the previous night though 👌the dreaded band of cloud on the horizon at sunset, how many times do we see that

[@GaryGough]

It's a curse as I always say. Cheers Garry 👍

[@mikebarbee8621]

Excellent work and patience Gary!!

[@LynneLuxonJonesphotography]

Hi Gary ...I was intending to head down to this location over this past weekend but still struggling with flu😫 Loving thd sunset images at the start,beautiful water movement over the wall 👍 I'll just have to wait for next year ...

[@GaryGough]

Hi Lynne, It's a cracking place. Hope you get well soon xx

[@Ruscombephotos]

I really like the colour sunset images with long exposure with the railings and the water cascading over the wall.

[@brianhenno4744]

So much like West kirby, like you done a few years back 👍👍

[@GaryGough]

Yeah, it's pretty similar. Cheers 👍

[@chromagraphphotoart]

Mmm, been to Clevedon for the pier and long exposures and that was not so easy as the beach is treacherous. Plus, the tide is dangerous as it comes in so quick there.

[@paulcooper9187]

Suburb insight, I did not even know that place existed until now. Some cracking images there. Thanks as always

[@GaryGough]

Cheers Paul 👍

[@jimcooke5590]

Brilliant Gary, as my mum lives in clevedon it's always been an inspiring place and your images prove that they were stunning. the white building in the background is a pub called the salthouse and that bought back so many good memories if my late teen years, some great live bands played there

[@GaryGough]

Oh cool. Cheers Jim 👍

[@timrosenburgh9485]

Another great video Gary. No wonder you were gutted after waiting around all day for the higher tide to cover the walkway, but still you managed to get some really nice image's. The image's you captured the day before were brilliant and I'm glad you didn't have a wasted journey.

[@lizzietheoldbiddy262]

Love your videos and clear explanations. Thank you

[@GaryGough]

Thank you 👍

[@martinoberstein8431]

Some nice ones, Gary, I like the b/w with the staircase the most. The other b/w‘s are also interesting and original. Original spot as well. Thank you very much, kind regards from Germany, Martin

[@stephenoliver7386]

Really enjoyed thank you and yes it was worth the time you put in, thanks

[@chrisdiamond4826]

Great content yet again and i admire your honesty when things have not gone to plan, we are all human after all.Keep up the amazing work you do and share those fascinating images.

[@gordonbennett6823]

Love the videos and learning lots. When you are on location, as a further tip could you post your camera settings and filters you use on the photograph.?

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

best video ever! Loved it Gary. Best regards-Kenny

[@GaryGough]

Cheers 👍

[@claudiaphillips7063]

Your pictures were amazing. I had to look up where Clevedon is. We have natural pools in Cornwall so this has given me a couple of ideas. Clevedon is a fair way from here, but I may go there one day.

[@GaryGough]

It's a cracking place Claudia 👍👍

[@fineartattic]

Maybe next time you will look at the weather forecast!

[@johngrant5448]

I just knew that you were going to say gutted at the end. The weather is rubbish.

[@GaryGough]

Just typical huh 😁😁

[@johngrant5448]

@@GaryGough it is. I often wonder what I was thinking about when I left Yorkshire to live in South Devon, I ought to have gone north, at least the skies are more interesting there. Henry Turner on YT gets some fantastic shots in the lakes.

[@2logj]

Super beautiful photos.amazing.where is this place in UK?

[@GaryGough]

Clevedon Marine Lake

[@cruxtonhouse7846]

We were there last weekend…… weird seeing it on your channel so soon afterwards. Did you take any photos of the pier lit up at night?

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

I feel like the fails (failures!) are an inevitable consequence of any endeavour... They do make the rare and illusive wins richer however! Sylvester Stallone remarked once that people enjoy seeing him get smashed and really expected it... Sigh! Clearly then, like a classic Greek tragedy, the (ironic) value to the audience is somehow fortified by the extent of suffering, coupled with the journeyman's ability to remain stoic and happy. Bottom line seems rather trite, but it's the journey not the destination that tests us all! 🤠🙈

[@duncansteward4331]

Clevedon discribed as fantastic --- LOL thats a first. Clevedon my home town and after 60 years, i doubt i would call the place fantasic.

[@petrub27]

ok, so?

[@harleycleanslate]

people swimming? isn't the water pretty cold?! hardy souls..

[@GaryGough]

The women that swim in the sea all year round are called blue tits :)

[@corinagul612]

How do you determine what’s a sunrise location vs a sunset location? 😊

[@GaryGough]

Sunrises in the east and sets in the west

[@kevinfarrell9037]

Gary what makes a picture "fine art"?

[@GaryGough]

That’s a million dollar question! I guess, if it looks abnormal then it could be classified as fine art. I tend to call landscape photography fine art when it’s both abnormal and minimalistic. There are plenty of counter arguments to that though.

[@paulburwood8231]

The curse of the landscape photographer bites again! Gutted for you.

[@stephenthompson1998]

Great photography shame about the curse. You ever been to Norfolk Snettisham has old pier remains and faces west.

[@johndoherty6448]

Gutted, I dunno, Gary. The Long expos of the two handrails looks surreal and appealing to my eye, at least. Humbling that you publish your, in your opinion, not so successful snaps.

[@GaryGough]

Cheers John 👍👍
