Thanks for the tip, I’m definitely going back there again it was amazing. I parked in the bus terminal halfway up to the left of the site. I will check out your suggestions for my next visit. Glad you like the film 😊😊

@@SimonJerromes thats the best spot -I wrongly assumed you'd parked at Llanberis !

@@PaulWilkinson Hi Paul yes I am aware… well spotted…. I didn’t notice it when I first edited the image and it wasn’t until I had included it in the film along with another image that had masking issues and I watched it back on a large screen that I noticed it. By then The video had been published. Haha lessons were learnt and a closer inspection of my masking technique has been implemented! It’s a great learning curve!! Thanks for the comment really appreciate it. 👍

Thank you Simon much appreciated… hopefully it made abit of sense!! Haha 👍👍

Cheers Garry that means a lot. It was great fun to shoot… shame I missed the guys in the wire jumping off and parachuting down! I thought they were just inching their way across!!! 👍👍

@@SimonJerromes Parachutes!! That would have been amazing to see. 👍🏻

Thanks Paul really appreciate it 👍👍

Thanks Dennis it’s an incredible location! 👍👍

Thank you so much. It’s an incredible location well worth the trip 👍👍

Hi Peter thank you so much for your comments. Glad you like the images. Fascinating location well worth the visit if you get chance 👍

@@SimonJerromes I'm way down in West Cornwall but did visit Snowdonia a few years back and went to Dinorwig. mostly seascapes for me down here but plenty of old tin mine workings.

@@petermaddern6653 haven’t been to Cornwall in quite a few years, growing up in Devon we used to visit quite often! I think a visit to your amazing coastline will be high on the list. Any recommendations? Cheers

Thank you so much so glad you liked the film 👍👍

Haha. Cheers John glad you liked it. Not sure what idea you wanna nick but feel free!!🤣🤣🤣

@@HunterMcDowellPhotography Hi Hunter great to hear from you. Glad you like the video.. it’s been awhile since I was last able to get out with the camera. I’m pleased you like the images too! These abandoned quarries are really interesting. All good here thanks and I hope is is well with you and yours 👍👍

Hi Steven thank you so much for your encouragement, it really does mean a lot. I’m so glad you like the images in this film. I really had some amazing conditions and there is so much to see at this location. Am looking forward to going back later in the year 👍👍

Hi Brian thank you for your comment. Yes I like the first of the boat shots but the curve of the reflection in the second shot I find really appealing which made me rather indecisive about them!!!!. Glad you liked the images in this video thank you 👍👍

Hi Jeremi thank you so much for your comment. So glad you enjoyed the video. Makes it all worth while if somebody gets something out of it 👍. Apologies for the late response as am away for a few days break with the family. Funnily enough we are back up in Scotland and planning a trip down the Skyfall rd for tomorrow!! No camera on this visit sadly!!

Hi Antoine I’m glad you like this video. It’s such a magic woodland. I popped there again the day before yesterday, as I’m down in the West Country for a few days visiting family. If ever you find yourself over here in the UK feel free to contact me and I’ll gladly show you few good places to take images. 👍👍

Thank you Antoine I really appreciate such a lively comment. I’ve not had chance to get them printed out yet but it will be nice to see them large enough to put on the wall! So glad you enjoyed the film. Hope to share more with you later in the month. 😊👍

@@DarktableLandscapes haha thank you . Definitely going to make plans to go in Autumn. I went in January this year and the snow, frost and on occasion clear skies made for some amazing shots👍👍

@@SimonJerromes I'm lucky enough to live here and spend the summer drumming my fingers waiting for the foliage to change and snow to hit the tops. Not long now!

@@DarktableLandscapes you are very lucky. I’m fortunate that my work brings me up quite often and when it does it try and spend at least an extra day there and make sure to pack my camera! Am due to bring the kids up camping later this month too. Can’t wait!

@@SimonJerromes hope the weather is kind and the light is spectacular!

Thank you Michael glad you liked it. Thanks for the comments on the other videos too! Really encouraging thank you 👍👍👍

Hi Rohit thank you for your comment. I didnt use any long exposure settings on these images but i always have my camera on a tripod so the exposure settings could be on the slower side and its useful because i did exposure bracket a number of these shots, normally 5 images over a +1/-1 stop of exposure and blended in Lightroom. I only have two 'goto' lenses...24mm GM and a 100-400 GM..although i recently remaber i have a Ziess Battis 16-70 on a vlogging camera i no longer use, but i still forget to take it out and use it!!!

You’re welcome. Thank you for you encouraging words 👍👍

Hey Hunter great to hear from you! Glad you like the images. Scotland is such an amazing place. 👍👍

@@SimonJerromes yes indeed! I hope to visit someday!

Be sure to make contact when you do come over. Be an honour to show you around 👍👍

Thank you Pierre I agree 👍👍👍

Hi Dennis good to hear from you. Yeah I like abit of black and white. I do have another black and film planned over the next few weeks which I hope will pan out well. Glad you like the Boat shots it was such a beautiful ship just had to add a white vignette to add alittle class haha 😜 👍👍

Thank you so much I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I’m pleased you find my approach helpful as there loads of videos giving advise on composition etc. So happy to have you on board and am looking forward to share more with you. Would love to visit the USA one day, it’s top of my bucket list! 👍👍

Thank you Darren really appreciate that. Glad you liked the video. I was pretty lucky the vessel was moored so close to shore and I very nearly didn’t take the shot. Glad I turned around and found a place to ditch the car! 👍

Hi Antigone thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so glad you like my work. I would very much like to see the work you e done over the years. Do you specialise in any genre? Landscapes, architecture or portraits??? I would like to visit a darkroom and see how printers carry out their craft. Such an amazing thing to see. I’m glad you like the channel, it can be rather difficult to find topics that are different from the many other great videos out there! It makes it all worth while receiving comments such as yours many thanks Simon 👍👍

Hi thank you for your comment. Yes the images are alittle contrasty one in particular is a little over cooked shall we say for my taste but I was trying something new. There are a few tweaks I’d like to do to the images where the Lightroom masks aren’t quiet doing their thing and it’s not until you put them up on a big tv you actually notice them. I’m enjoying the learning curve and the constructive comments are helping me a great deal. Thank you 👍👍👍

I quite like the contrast. Many subjects when done in black and white can look flat or even muddy. I find this true in landscape especially. Too many similar colors, mainly greens. Bumping up the contrast keeps it interesting. For me it’s a job well done. 👍

Thank you Bill much appreciated. I try and stay clear of the ‘HDR’ look where possible although I did include an image in that style in the video,and prefer the dodge and burn style. I think maybe because it’s been used since the beginning of time! 👍👍

Hi Malcolm glad you enjoyed the video, I do enjoy abit of black and white photography every now and then! Yes I’m torn between the ship being framed with the trees but I also like the vessel complimenting the tree too! I also like the shape of the Bow and its reflection!!! Frustrating haha 😜

Thank you Walter much appreciated 👍👍

Thanks so much Antoine glad you liked it 😊👍

Hi thanks for your comment. Yes I understand what you mean, there’s one image that’s stands out for me, with the over processed look which was a decision I made in the edit. To be honest I wasn’t sure it was working but I thought I’d stick with! Abit of an experiment. There are a few further adjustments to be made in masking that weren’t apparent on the computer but leap out when you stick them on a big tv!😂 👍👍

@@SimonJerromes Trust me, we have all been guilty of the crime in the past and the present too.😢

Thanks Alan 👍👍

Thanks Paul 👍👍

Thanks for your comment. Duly noted.. it’s all a steep learning curve and will bear that in mind 👍

Thank you for your kind comment. Really encouraging 👍👍😊

Thank you. I’m glad you like them 😊

Hi Robin thanks for your comment. Film is something I haven’t shot on for years. It would be great to see your work. I will search using your name above or do you post under a different name?! Thanks

Hi Greg thanks for the question. I typically start my edit in Lightroom Classic, where I will apply any masks and global edits, then , depending if the image is going to be black and white or colour I will send either to Photoshop or Nix 6 Silver Efex if it’s black and white. The Nix 6 addon gives a slightly better control over the tones of a black and white image. Once I’ve finished there I will send it over to photoshop for dust spot removal and any other little tweaks that maybe necessary before exporting in PNG for use in the film! Hope that helps 😊😊

@@SimonJerromes great edits

@@SimonJerromes great editing, I especially liked the use of white vignette in the boat scenes.

⁠@@gregscott2330Thanks Greg I thought a white vignette might add a little something to it. There’s a little bit if re-editing to do on some of the masks used particularly on the sky which aren’t apparent until you put them on a massive TV! 😂

Thanks Greg much appreciated 👍👍😊

Thanks Coby, very kind of you to say. It’s all been a very enjoyable learning curve trying to pull all the little things together that make up a film. Glad you like it 👍👍😊

Hi thanks for your comment. It was so nice to see the ship so close to shore. Had to drive up and down a few times to find a safe place to stop! Glad I did though! I will look out for it again next time I’m up! 👍👍

Haha thanks Simon. That tin shed actually looks pretty good in colour too but didn’t fit the flavour of the video! Glad you liked it 👍👍

You are so welcome

Thanks John it was really enjoyable searching for these types of images…. Shame about the midges!! 😜

Hi Dennis hope you’re keeping well. Yes I agree a little testing here and there helps sharpen the senses alittle!! Glad you liked the images, it was quite fun to put this together 😊👍

Hi Jack thanks for your comment. Glad you like the images. This quarry is amazing with all its old machinery and buildings being left. It looks like the workers got up one day and left and never went back.!! Would love to photograph the Everglades one day! Enjoy your weekend 👍👍

Hi Paul thanks for your comment. I hope your spill wasn’t tooo expensive, those rocks are surprisingly slippery. I love whyming Brook in the Autumn. I hope the woodland recovers there soon! Glad you liked this images👍👍👍
