Another interesting vlog Paul. I am in North Cumbria where conditions for landscape photography have been stonking.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

[@davidthomas670]

As usual Paul an excellent vlog, I will be in the U.K in March so this location is definitely on my to do list , so thanks mate.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

@@paulcomptonpdphotography Yes I would really like that mate, cheers

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

[@tonyhayes9827]

Man you should see the hazelstones we get down here in Oz, big as tennis balls mate. There much more specialer than the English ones. Great video again Paul - your videos are never too long, only too short mate.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Oh wow! no way

Final shots the best for me, although I might have gone a little lower and excluded the rocks right in the foreground and brought the lone sea stack above the waterline a little more. Talking about bringing sea stacks above the waterline I think I'm with John Blackman here and would be tempted to rescale the right hand sea stack a wee bit. Not often I'd suggest something like jiggery pokery but if all your eye is drawn to is that conjunction of horizon and rock it might be considered 'artistic license'. If Canaletto rearranged topography in his paintings of Venice I guess its allowed.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

yes good idea make it bigger haha

[@peterkennington1043]

Another interesting video Paul with some nice images. Just behind you high on the hill are the remains of one of the finest hill forts in the UK, Tre'r Ceiri, with the massive walls and habitations clearly visible, would make a great drone shot as well as a photographic viewpoint

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

thanks you for watching and comment

[@sue.Hoo123]

What a great location, I found your location map and route really useful, can this be a regular feature? Wonderful images, love the group selfie from the drone 👍

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Yes, absolutely your welcome

[@amnonsuodai9145]

Hi Paul. You out did your self again. Love the location. Did the video was as Workshop Photography? Do you have a group Workshop Photography like 6 in groups for 6 days? Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the video. All best. Amnon from NYC.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

I can do a six day group if you would like, contact me on the website page paulcomptonpdphotography.co.uk/contact

My own backyard! How popular are these so called ‘sea stacks’ now. The stack in your last image, looking back, is known locally as Ynys Gachu (ynys= island, gachu= shit); the amount of bird shit probably is a clue here! I echo your sentiments with one of the stacks enroaching the horizon in one of my own shots, but as you testify not much one can do about that. If you continue to follow the path along the headland, you’ll come to a stony beach accessible via the steel steps; sunsets can be wonderful here, and on crystal clear days the Wicklow Mountains scan be seen. Continue following the path to the left, and to your left you will see a great example of an ice age V shaped valley. Continue through this and the next field, turn left at the junction, follow the road down, and you’re back to where you started. The iron age hill fort at Tre Ceiri is well worth a visit, as is the old granite quarry up on Yr Eifl (look at the mountain in the background to the stack images, and how 150 years of quarrying has changed it). Sorry for the lecture!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

love love love comment like this thank you, maybe i should shout you out next time i am over.. i will 100% follow the directions you gave

[@johnblackman699]

Just a suggesting re the shot where the sea stack clips the horizon... stretch/warp the height of the stack during post. Yes, it's arguably a bit more of a cheat than time blending/focus stacking/seagull-adding etc but another way of looking at it is that you're tweaking perspective and scale because you physically couldn't get into the optimum position.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

i may try that
