WATERWHEEL & PRINCE OF WALES QUARRY

Located on a remote hillside, the waterwheel at Cwm Pennant is still in a well preserved state & offers some great photo opportunities considering it being a small site. From here, we drove a couple of miles further down the road to walk up the Prince of Wales quarry which offers some great views over the landscape.

I seriously need a trip where you are, the locations are beautiful, great footage and photos documenting the site, as always great drone shots :-) As for comments, I always leave a positive comment, there is always something good about a video to comment on, I have had a few negative comments on my videos but like you I try and let it go over my head, not always though lol you cant please everyone I guess

[@markpiercephotography]

Thank you very much Keith. Yes, always good to leave positivity if you can, & always aware that some people thrive to be negative & trying to pull you down, but if you don’t know them, then they are meaningless individuals.😀👍

Nice one Mr, what a great place 🙂

[@markpiercephotography]

Thanks mate, yes, a very interesting place👍

Very enjoyable Mark the approach up and the candid discussion. The pump was a fairly elaborate set up. Yeah, an impressive operation. And all that for us to see still. I appreciated the discussion about differentials so to speak. For sure there are degrees and levels - a class system if you like. We enjoy all people but if we're seeking to access a certain world it's great to get it's acknowledgment. Well, a fantastic area - good flight with the drone. All the best out there. Mark

@@markpiercephotography A pleasure.

Looks very interesting Mark, I've explored the old quarries round about but never been to this part. The upper quarry I've explored from Rhyd Ddu

[@markpiercephotography]

Thanks Peter, yes you get great views up there, but the quarry only has old ruined buildings & no machinery. Still a good walk though🙏👍

[@CluelessYoutuber]

That’s a nice place, Mark. Interesting subjects too 😁 just something about abandoned structures in landscapes 😂 quite cool, awesome views despite the steep climb. Thanks for sharing man. About comments, I will always appreciate positive comments because my point is to just share my work to encourage people to go out. Negative comments, I usually dont mind this unless they provide some useful criticism.

[@markpiercephotography]

Many thanks Keith . It certainly is a super place to explore even without the abandoned machinery that other places still have. Yes, always great to receive comments🙏👍

More great footage in a quiet part of Eryri. Do you like your photographs? In the end we should be doing it for ourselves and not to impress others. If people like my work that's good, if they don't, then bugger off and find some ones work you do like and leave me alone. If you take other people advice, you'll end up taking photographs like they do (yawn). Great quote by Harry Callahan, " being a member of a photography club showed me the type of photographer I never wanted to become".

Hi Iain, yes, I only ever shoot for myself as anyone who actually knows me would tell everyone. I always find it fascinating how people are trying to please others & the obsession for followers/ subscribers etc. Like you, great if people enjoy my images, but fine also if they don’t as as we all know, it’s subjective. Totally agree with regards to some of the members you’d come across in camera clubs.👍

Good video, but a long way from Penmachno?

[@markpiercephotography]

🤦‍♂, didn’t notice that. Thanks Brian, will edit it now.🥴
