Landscape Photography in bad weather. There's always a shot! Snowdonia North Wales

[@philhoyle1106]

4,6&10 all great for me👍

[@GaryGough]

Slow and steady wins the race every day! We both know what happens when you let your guard down ;) Cracking video that really shows off the hardship we endure at times. FYI No 6 is my favourite. Having said that, images 9 & 10 have a magical element to them I just quite can't put my finger on 😁😁

[@itaykaplan892]

Great vlog Gareth.... 👌👍.... love the atmospheric shots and the conditions looks great for this type of shots.... 😀..... I believe that you can get a good shot in any kind of weather... you just need to go out and enjoy the adventure... 😀

[@SteveZodiac777]

Mental, but in a good way! Some great shots - numbers 6 & 8 are my favourites. Thanks for sharing!

[@jurgendekeyser3877]

Always nice to see a video with the 2 of you in it. Great pictures!

[@ChrisPattonPhotography]

Those images look fantastic Gareth, definitely proved your point 👍

[@marcelzwart3527]

Great video Gareth, in my opinion all the photos are just stunning. You are really lucky to live in such a beautiful area.

[@johnbas5512]

Nr 6 is my fav with the snaky road

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks mate. I like that one too! 😊

[@ruudmaas2480]

nr. 6

[@martinagiusstreetphotography]

My favourites are number 2 and 8. Snowdonia is on my bucketlist for a while.

[@GarethDanks]

Hey Martin!! thanks for watching mate!! you must go its so stunning!! :-)

[@martinagiusstreetphotography]

@@GarethDanks I will surely visit in the near future and when this pandemic is over. Thanks.

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Gareth. Enjoyed this ! One of my favourite locations (and a best kept secret before your vlog !! LOL). It's a fantastic for sunrise looking back towards Llynnau Mymbyr and Capel Curig, especially when there's mist over the lakes.

[@GarethDanks]

haha.. your welcome!! doh! haha.. yeah its not somewhere id seen a viewpoint from before! cracking spot for a camp!

[@faerphoto]

Great video. Glad to see you guys were being safe. My favorite images were 7 and 10. I tend not to go for the really dark and moody, and those two were lighter and more colorful, so they appealed to me the most. Cheers from Maine, USA. :) Paula

[@allandavies1187]

Hello Gareth, great to see the collaboration with your old pal, Gary. A fabulous bloke also. You had bracing weather! I wonder if you or Gary could answer this question for me! Is it possible to use an L- bracket in conjunction with a Peak Design bracket which fits on my photo backpack shoulder strap? Or am I asking for too much? Thank you in advance...

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks mate. You can yes. I do it. It’s not as solid tho. Wish it was a tad wider

[@thevalleywalker]

It's a great location and and easy little walk up from the PYP car park.... some conditions you had for sure and well done on sticking it out & your perseverance paid off, cracking images. Loved the image at 15:10, very GW with that strong foreground. I agree on getting a shot in any conditions too, I just prefer not getting wet these days... & who loves sitting on top of a hill/mountain for a few hours in rain or clag.. oh ye, YOU !! (lol) Moel Siabod was the last mountain I walked up and reckon if you are looking for the pano an early morning shoot when the light is on the horshoe. Great advice for shooting in bad conditions. atb Al

[@alwayschasing]

6, 7, 9 and 10. Reassuring that you struggle to get those shots too!

[@davidpearce2981]

Always shoot in the rain, no people . I like the location. Very nice shots , the second my favourite

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks mate. Yeah that’s another plus I should have mentioned haha

[@markjagger7139]

Hi Gareth, super vlog and super images, if I had to choose it would be number 10, a great image and light and very atmospheric. Stay safe and have a great Christmas and New Year.

[@andypoole1515]

You certainly worked the scene and came away with a great collection of moody images 👍

[@gb8924]

Hello Gareth, its Garry Buckley here! Blast from the past haha! Enjoyed the video, looking well my friend, keep up with the good videos 👍🏻

[@GarethDanks]

As innnnn... Bulkington????? 😳

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

I do like your approach to things. Nice work sir. What was the name of the hill you were on. Also when you say you set the camera to classic chrome why do thing if you shoot raw I did not think it matters

[@danpepper9041]

Awesome photos. I like how you showed what you went through to get the photos and how you described your thought process on the photos

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks dan. Appreciate the comment mate. Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@RM831BC4E4]

Awesome Images Gareth.

[@GarethDanks]

thanks so much mate!!

[@grahamwatson-s8l]

Great video. I love dark and moody, my favorite image was no. 7, with the road adding a leading line. I noticed you were wearing a Jottnar jacket, I'm thinking of buying one. what are your thoughts on it please, are they worth the money? Many thanks.

[@sailonstellarwinds]

Stunning scenes!

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks so much mate 😊

[@markpursglovephotography]

Great video Gareth. Hard to choose as they're all good. Moody weather is great. 😊📷

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks so much mark mate

[@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography]

Looked like there was a lot of noise in the clouds on some shots?

[@GarethDanks]

Shouldn’t have been mate. 1600 is fine and I didn’t lift them in post 😊

[@dietervoegelin5890]

Number 3 ,6 and 9

[@harrycutts2045]

Can't decide between image nos. 3 and 10. Both quite similar and I would be more than happy to have a set of these images on my wall. I have thought long and hard about picking up the 10-24 lens but lack of weather sealing has always put me off. the mk 2 version would be nice but it is at a price point that I am unwilling to go beyond at present. Great vlog as usual :)

[@radstuffphotovideo]

Enjoyed this, great video and awesome location! My favourite photo of the bunch is the one at 17:18 I love the misty background and the rocks 👌 weather is wild up there isn't it I just uploaded a photography video from snowdonia and I got rained out in the end, shooting photos of goats in the road and my lens was so wet it was impossible to shoot through 😂

[@GarethDanks]

hey thanks mate! yeah im pleased with the images.. so many cool shots to have with all that detail.. glad my gear stayed dry! always a worry! :-)

[@keithpearmine8773]

I like No. 3 or No. 10 all shots are great though esp. in those conditions, one thing though how do you get the magnifier to come over your shots

[@GarethDanks]

Hey Keith mate. Thanks for the comment. It’s adobe bridge. It’s about all it does haha

[@hachewie]

OMG. I felt sick watching the scouting.

[@GarethDanks]

haha.. is that good or bad?

[@hachewie]

@@GarethDanks OMG. This comment was meant for a completely different video, and not one of yours. Sorry.

[@roynewport5397]

Can you tell me you print these and if you did what have they come out like at 1600 iso, liked the video.

[@GarethDanks]

Hey Roy. I’m gonna print one for sure. Loved the moody feel. 1600 will print fine if you haven’t pushed the file too much in post. Always key to get it right in camera 😊

[@JandKWildTube]

Great Vlog, how to choose a favourite as they are all cracking shots

[@GarethDanks]

Haha thank you so much mate

[@jamesamoh7340]

They’re all awesome shots. Please do a Lightroom edit. Thanks.

[@GarethDanks]

Cheers james. Might do actually.. anything in particular?

[@TonySmith-cd7jo]

You were lucky, last time I was up there I got caught in 60mph wind with driving sideways rain and about 5 mtres visibility. I was literally forced off the mountain, and could only find our way down by instinct.

[@grahamnorton6291]

Enjoyed that Gareth full Mark's with stick8ngbwith, I do love a moody shot. On another note any news about photonerds coming back again?

[@GarethDanks]

Thanks so much mate. Yeah we have spoken about it. I hope so. 😊

[@grahamnorton6291]

@@GarethDanks Hope so mate best photography podcast in my book

[@GarethDanks]

That’s kind of you. Got a mixed reaction when I joined lol

[@adamturner7040]

Nice to see you back in the hills mate, great video :)

[@GarethDanks]

haha thanks Adam!

[@WillPhipps]

I completely agree, you sometimes just need to change your perspectives. Pick out details or get some dramatic atmospheric shots. Great video looked like miserable weather

[@GarethDanks]

Exactly mate. Slow down and take it all in. 😊

[@karlrichards]

May I ask why you don't trust the lens being wider than 14mm?

[@GarethDanks]

I’m pretty sure mines soft mate. Needs sending to fuji.

[@getnyrb]

With the lockdown now in place in Wales at the best time of year to get out and about opportunities will be missed. Great shame ;-(

[@GarethDanks]

its work for me so im ok thankfully :-)

2, 4, 7

Cheers mike mate 😊

[@Stringbob]

Nice one Gareth, 6 and 8 were my favs, looked like a wet day on the hills. There is a plethora of options for a Snowden pano. My favourite is Carnedd Cribau, just across the valley from where you were. flic.kr/p/2jJRPHa
