Photographing Llanddwyn Island with Dave Griff

[@DGriffGallery]

Interesting how the same things caught our attention independently. I abandoned looking up at Twr Bach as a bad job, without wide enough glass. But you pulled it off nicely. Hope the rest of your time in Snowdonia wasn't too damp! And if you're back in the neighbourhood you know where there's a hook up and water. Anytime mate 👍

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

D Griff Gallery I’ll certainly return Dave, it’s a stunning location. Snowdonia was very wet, with some seriously strong winds that kept me house bound for 2 days, but when I got out I had a fantastic time. Thanks for being so generous with your time mate and say hi to Jan.

Great video from a fantastic looking location. Your enthusiasm & excitement at the start you could tell how much you were looking forward to the day.

[@kathleenhickey7793]

I just discovered this video and enjoyed it very much. Loved your enthusiasm over the area! Although I will never see it in person, I have developed an affection for this part of the world. Great photos at the end too!

[@iainmc9859]

You kept the best shot almost for last. The tall skinny portrait of beach, hut and cross is great; would look splendid in B&W as well.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Iain McCabe That’s why vlogging is so hard. I really liked that image (when I got home) but it didn’t really look much on the back of the camera and so that’s why I didn’t chat about it much. Then other times I’m convinced an image will work, chat about it on camera for 5 mins only to discover it’s not worthy of the video. It sucks being a vlogger sometimes 😂

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

As always mate you come across on screen so natural and the camera loves you. It’s a great place and yes Dave is a super guy and very friendly with an amazing knowledge of the area. It’s a shame about the slight damage that photographer and mobile camera can do. But this is the way of life now with every single person on the planet having a camera in their pocket. Better to be brown and muddy rather than covered in rubbish from picnics and party going folk. Great respect to you and always good to watch.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Cheers Paul and thanks mate for the fantastic comment. I’m actually trying to watch your latest video, but keep getting interrupted. Your 20 min video has been playing on and off for 3 hours now. If you hit 5000 views, most of them will be from me 😉

[@kenrees8726]

Another top class video you got some stunning images

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Thanks Ken, I’m pleased you enjoyed it and your comment is very kind 🍺

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Super episode Dar, great colab with Mr G.. really loved the image at 3:25.. I didn’t venture from that spot the time I vlogged there :-) you certainly found some great compositions .. very enjoyable !!

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Thanks Matey and apologies for not watching everybody’s videos at the moment as I’ve not had Wi-fi for over 2 weeks and I need my limited data to upload. I’ll binge watch everyone’s adventures once I’m back home. Take it easy Dal

[@JamieOverland]

Kid in a sweet shop in that place mate, looks awesome. Those classic lighthouse shots are brilliant, and good additions to the portfolio. Dave seems a really cool guy, and can imagine a perfect companion and host. Loving the road trip content bud

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

He was a star Jamie and so knowledgable. I left Dave and headed to Snowdonia where the weather was shocking for a few days but then it brightened up and I managed to out and about. I’m currently in Derbyshire and loving the Hope valley. I’m off for a hike today, but having a Van day tomorrow as the forecast is rain. Thank goodness as my old legs are killing me 😉

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

One of the places that I really want to get to next year... Great to see you two guys together too :-)

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Re: Photography you’d love it there mate. just give yourself plenty of time as there is so much to photograph besides the obvious. The weather is still looking pants for tomorrow 😔

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

You did it you captured some shots from a very popular and well photographed place that where original and different feel! Wonderful location, really enjoyed Sausage 😁👍

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Mali Photography thank you dumpling. I’m over at SV and no frost, great for driving but it would have been great for photography

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Darren Knight Photo gutted! Today was never an option sadly, Sod’s law it would end up good today.

[@jscook54]

Wow 2 of my favorite photo you tubers together!

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Janet Cook Sadly we may both be retiring from the small screen as Hollywood are calling. They think we’re the new Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Only better looking!

[@thevalleywalker]

Great location, sadly I have only been there once and would also like to go back. I think you found quite a few good compositions Darren, I stupidly just took the iconic ones and didn't wander - wish I had now seeing this. Have not met David (yet) but as you say he seems a genuinely nice person who is always there to give help & advice. I like his presentation style too. Watched this whilst having a cuppa on a Saturday morning whilst we get battered by wind n rain here in South Wales. Look forward to seeing the next videos in your road trip.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

As you could probably tell in the video Alan, I was blown away by such a great location. I urge you to revisit and check the tide times as you need as long as possible on the island. If you do revisit, contact David as he will give you info on little photographic gems as well. And you’re right, he’s a great guy and very generous with his time and sharing his knowledge of the area. Thanks for the comment bud 👍

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Nice work mate 👍🏼

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Thanks Paul 🍺🍺

[@kevinmarshall7604]

Great location Darren, love the video.

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

It’s a fantastic location Kev, I’m just gutted we only had 2 hours to explore. There is so much to shoot there 👍

[@tompetersphotography]

Amazing location bud!!! You got some beauties to boot

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

PhotoNinja Thanks Tom and I throughly enjoyed it. After that I went to Snowdonia and I’m now in Derbyshire. The weather looks a Little misty today and so I’m contemplating on where to go. Maybe Winnats pass or Stanage edge. I’ll decide when I’m driving and getting closer. See ya

[@tompetersphotography]

Darren Knight Photo that’s it mate.....spontaneous lol go wherever the wind blows you lol 😂 have a good one mate

[@cillyede]

Great!

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Hu Ko Thank you 🙏

[@PPS-UK]

Loving these collabs Darren 👍 I missed Angelsy (most definitely spelt wrong) on my trip to Snowdonia a few months back, so I am really happy to see you got there, and that lighthouse shot is one I want, great shots as always mate, really enjoyed it 😊

[@DGriffGallery]

Ben, do let me know if you get back here - always happy to do a bit of guiding ... 👍😀

[@PPS-UK]

@@DGriffGallery thank you Dave thats really kind of you, I will definitely take you up on that offer when Im next in the area 👍

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Thanks Ben that’s really kind and I can see Dave has already replied. You should take him up on his offer as he’s a great tour guide and an even better companion. Just one tip, make sure you give yourself plenty of time there as there’s so much to shoot. See ya bud

[@PPS-UK]

@@DarrenKnightPhoto Thanks Darren, I definitely will do 👍

[@rambling_rambler]

I'm not quite sure as you didn't quite make it clear. So did you like Llanddwyn Island? It's a great place and being from Anglesey I always took everything for granted so I've only been there once with my camera myself. Great vlog and great set of images

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Yeah sorry I looked so miserable Garry 😂 I just didn’t expect to have so many great compositions from such a small place. It really is a fantastic location bud I hope you’re well and ready for Christmas
