David, thank you for keeping the videos going through lock-down; they're a real treat. My wife has also started to watch, and enjoy, them with me and she's not a photographer!
Massive thumbs up as always, really enjoyed this video so much. Thank you for still posting in these times, it's great you showing us how creative you can be if you just look !!! 👍🏼
I really enjoyed the sea pinks image. All were nice but it was my favorite.The life depicted against the forboding sky told a story I thought. I do appreciate you making videos even under less than great circumstances. As always Dave, love the channel.
Yes I just love the sea pinks at this time of year. There are some huge bunches along the coast, but not were I can reach by bike so I'll probably have to wait until next year as they'll be all over by the time they let us out again! 😊👍
Hi Edward, thank you so much as ever for your very generous support. I'm guessing we'll be seeing some more of your photography before too long now things are getting a little easier? 😊👍
D Griff Gallery....My pleasure entirely David, thank you for sharing them with us .....yes, hopefully, I’ll start picking up again, all the kit’s been ‘Spring cleaned’ in readiness 👍😉
Well, you may be 'stuck', but I am enjoying your images. The ocean, the rocks, the flowers, the wildness of your backyard, sort of feel like I am on a trip to Wales, while safe-distancing in FLorida. Much appreciate your work.
Hello Michelle, thank you so much for watching and being good enough to take the time to leave such generous and supportive feedback. I had always been into minds about whether to continue with the channel recently, but if I can bring even a small amount of light entertainment to people in difficult circumstances it is the very least I can do. Thanks again for watching! 😊👍
Many thanks for watching. I think a lot of people automatically assume that a wide open vista has to be shown in an almost panoramic aspect ratio. But I felt that the left and right parts of the image were adding nothing to it as all the interest was down the middle. It never worries me to crop quite aggressively if the composition warrants it! 😊👍
The lack of stress in your videos is a real benefit. So many photography vlogs leaves me feeling inadequate because I don’t have all the right equipment or cannot travel to exotic places. Your videos are calm and reassuring. Does the Welsh tourist board have you on commission, because they should! I have little in the way of post processing facilities, but still learn a lot from your technical info. Thanks.
Hi Peter, many thanks indeed for your very kind feedback. It is much appreciated. As for the Welsh tourist board, I strongly suspect they've never heard of me!! 😊👍
Hello Brian, that is very kind of you to say, I'm so glad I have been able to offer even a small amount of entertainment. I was slightly concerned at the outset that people would feel I was being a unfair to people in extremely difficult circumstances, when I my own countryside on my doorstep. But the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and I am so grateful to people like yourself for continuing to support my channel. It is very much appreciated 😊👍
I really liked that last image with the oystercatcher David. Lovely video, and well done for managing to put it together at the moment! I know how you feel staring at those mountains, I’d been looking forward to getting the tent out all winter, waiting for some warmer weather! Still it will make it even more special when we finally can make it out there! All the best, Sam.
Your video's over the last few weeks have certainly kept me entertained. I really look forward to your video's every week and have loved all your images. Please keep it up and hopefully soon you can move further afield. Thanks again and stay safe.
Hello Len, very many thanks for being good enough to watch my videos and taking the time to get in touch with such generous feedback. I really appreciate it, and I hope to keep you entertained in future! 😊👍
This was an entire course on composition contained in 12:24 minutes - thanks! It was lovely to see and hear the seashore. I am never likely to see Wales in person, so I always enjoy your tours of the beautiful place where you live.
Hi Kathleen, very proud and privileged to be your personal tour guide! And so glad you found Photography enjoyable too. There is a rumour going around that I might be able to get back into the mountains before too long, although I will still be doing coastal shoots on summer evenings as the sun goes down into the sea! 😊👍
I will look forward to seeing your pictures when you are able to go back to the high country. I will be envious! Between my new knee and my husband’s current health issues, we are unlikely to be hiking anywhere even when our mountains are open again. I am always interested to not only see your finished product, but to follow your process. I have learned a lot from your videos along with the guided tours. So thanks again!
Thanks again for yours videos. From my apartament I can see the sea from more than two months ago, but We can't go to feel the sea breeze, so see you smile on the beach making some photograph is good news. Seen your video I was thinking the huges differents between yours coast and ours. The yours is almost wild, our it is a long long street than starts here in Andalusia, in Algeciras, and end at the north of Catalonia with nature in very littles exceptions 😢. Enjoy yours coast a never let degrade.
Yes, Manuel, I know what you mean. I have visited your part of the world and it is unfortunate how much it has been built up over the years. When I first visited some of the towns along the coast were small fishing villages and now they are of high rise hotels!! 😊👍
Sad to see the world in such a tuff state in your end of town. good to see your alive and well. Squeezing a few shots off. when you get a time.. two weeks wow dam it
Hi Harry, yes it has been a difficult time but hopefully we are coming towards an easing of the current situation. And as you saw I do at least have some good locations nearby. Many thanks for watching! 😊👍
Thanks for the video. My first visit to lovely Anglesey was a leisurely day trip along the west coast from Conwy last summer. I’ll plan an a longer stay on my next trip to UK.
You know what? I was really tempted to click on one of those pathetic RUclips standard replies. Obviously for a laugh. But then I thought "what if he thinks that's what I actually said?!" I dictated this lot instead. I'm a bit bored this morning ... 😊👍
Hello James, very many thanks for your extremely supportive feedback. I really appreciate it and of course will do my very best to keep you entertained in future! 😊👍
Nice vlog, really good to see your work flow while your out in the field and the things you think about. Really liked your images. No need to apologise really enjoyed your lockdown vlogs 👍
Hi Lee, yes you're quite right it's great to be able to start taking advantage of the really nice weather conditions. I'll never moan about having to shoot in harsh daylight again!! 😊👍
Slow catching up this week, David. Can’t agree with the ‘makeshift’, certainly varied and probably not what you would have done but for the lockdown. The first image was my favourite this week. Seeing the mountains every day is getting a bit frustrating and as you said in the Pubcast it’s going to be a bit busy once they open the gates again. Still, we do have some quieter places on and off the island to go to until it calms down again. Cheers!
I don’t think you and I will have too much trouble finding a quiet spot or two in the mountains! I almost feel sorry for people who don’t know their way around too well when it all reopens! 😊👍🏻
You’ve done a sterling job these last few weeks and your vlogs Dave shouldn’t be considered makeshift at all. Loved the relaxing feeling during this one and the images at the end are fabulous. Cheers Carl.
Hi Dennis, I'm willing to bet I've missed them more than you have!! At the moment I can only get down to my local coastline, we are still not allowed to travel any distance at all. So there is about a two or 3 mile stretch that I can reach on my bicycle and they may well feature heavily over the next couple of weeks! Hopefully after that I'll be able to get back into the mountains. 😊👍
That was VERY informative in terms of your thought process and the settings you use to capture a particular "feel".. Your recent vids are definitely not makeshift - they are very interesting because you are having to work outside your normal box, which for us amateurs is very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyable David :) I too am ready and waiting to get up into Llanberis as soon as possible - that Quarry is calling to me - In the meantime I'm focusing on my drone photography to take advantage of the "emptiness".
Many thanks Toby, really appreciate your very kind feedback. Many people seem to have enjoyed what I've been able to get together over the last few weeks. And I even have one or two local subjects which I haven't got round to as yet. So I'll probably keep them in case we get locked down again in the future 😊👍
Another nice Sunday morn with your photo chat. Always look forward to them. Didn't realize you were in Wales. I got to Bristol but never to Wales. Now on bucket list!
Hello Trey, I'm quite a long way from the Bristol end of Wales, but it is quite an interesting area for photographers up in this top left-hand corner of the country, with the island and the mountains! I hope that you are able to come and visit us one day because I think you would quite enjoy it! 😊👍
@@DGriffGallery After this pandemic thing has passed I'm contemplating a tour with my wife of the Isles and touching base with a variety of vlogging photographers that I've enjoyed over the past year. Maybe spend several weeks driving here to there and taking some instructional guided landscape outings .I live in a town of 1300 in the middle of Wisconsin and would so enjoy the countryside there and perhaps linking up with you for a bit of Wales landscape photography.
I'm glad you are now able to get out a bit more, although I've thoroughly enjoyed your lockdown videos, David. Your inventiveness has been excellent, and I never felt you were slinging something together just because you had to - something that has been evident from *some* other RUclipsrs. The Dismaland sweatshirt was a nice touch - we had a great day out there! Stay safe.
Hi Neil, many thanks for your very kind words. Much appreciated. And well done on spotting the T-shirt. I have probably only worn it once before, but when I went to get a clean one out of my drawer that was the only one left and under normal circumstances it would be kept as a souvenir from the VIP opening night! 😊👍
Hi Malcolm, actually my video was particularly bad in this one because I'd accidentally left my exposure compensation +1 stops on my video camera and didn't realise it until I got home and looked at the footage! I'm such an amateur!! 😊👍
I go along with the comment of Fergus, the resulting shots were excellent. Living on the edge of Wales in Cheshire, I can't wait for Mark Drakeford to lift the lockdown so I can return to Glan Conwy and explore the still hidden places I know with my camera. Lovely vlog in a superb location.
Hello John, well hopefully we're only a couple of weeks away from being able to get back out and about under some sort of normality. I think with people having learned some harsh lessons over the last two months, we will all be more adept at maintaining distancing and hygiene and then people like ourselves who spend our time in secluded areas will be able to carry on as (new) normal before too long. 😊👍
Cheers mate, really appreciate you tuning in. I do my best to present as professionally as possible, if only because I look back on my early stuff and cringe!! 😊👍
That was a lovely area that you found for us this week David, it's not just your pictures that are good to look at it's the places that you take us to as well....I very nearly put my Welsh number plates on and travelled down there but that would be to risky! only joking of course!...Thank you I have enjoyed all your episodes during the lockdown, well done....
Hello Dave great vlogs during lockdown not sure if you have had many lately but how about another question and answer vlog just been looking through your back catalogue stay safe
Hi Alan, no I haven't done a Q&A for a very long time. I was a bit wary of dropping one in during lockdown simply because it's what a lot of other people are doing whilst we can't get out and about so much. However, I think there is one overdue but I will need to get the word out so I can have some questions to answer. Maybe think about doing it in a few weeks, and perhaps from the summit of a mountain even!! 😊👍
My initial feeling when I saw the time of day that you headed out was........leave it till later in the day, lower sun, better light etc but I have to say David, you knocked out some great shots all be it a lot of guile in post. Well done. Another enjoyable vlog.
Hi Fergus, you make a very fair point but I'd seen on the weather forecast it was going to cloud over significantly so there was little chance of any interesting light later on. Of course, with these sorts of locations been quite handy I can pick and choose to visit at either end of the day if things look promising! 😊👍
@@DGriffGallery Wise move. I waited till after tea-time last night when there was the promise of beautiful low sunlight photography when the sea fog rolled in as I was making the short drive to the beach. Still, there will be other days. Regards, @ferguscooper (instagram)
Hi Mat, the map is just a screenshot of the Ordnance Survey Landranger series. I use their website: osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/, but you do need an account for this specific view. They have others which are free though 😊👍
Couple of lovely image DG, particularly liked the 1st image. I could hear the peeping of the oystercatcher at times throughout your video and great to see you capturing birdlife in your landscapes - you better mention it in the pub next week or the lads will have be bringing you up on it..lol. Atb Al
Oh those oystercatchers never shut up! I've already had messages about getting involved in photographing birdlife. But I think that's probably the limit of my skills. There is no way I'm lugging about a 600 mm equivalent lens just so I can get a bloody close-up on their eyeballs! 😊👍
Yes, well spotted! I'm not one for wearing branded clothing as a rule, But this was a souvenir from the VIP opening night, and when I went to grab a clean T-shirt it was all that was left in the drawer! 😊👍
Sitting on a bench and have something to eat? At any moment I except John Cleese to enter frame dressed as a police constable and question your activities..
Yeah they were forced to backtrack and write that into the regulations after the Welsh health minister was photograph sitting on the bench eating chips the day after they had decided to extend the full lockdown for another three weeks. Frankly, Monty Python could do a much better job of running the country than the amateurs is in the Senedd! 😊👍

Oh those oystercatchers never shut up! I've already had messages about getting involved in photographing birdlife. But I think that's probably the limit of my skills. There is no way I'm lugging about a 600 mm equivalent lens just so I can get a bloody close-up on their eyeballs! 😊👍
Lovely images David 👍
Cheers Russell, appreciate your tuning in 😊👍
David I thought you had given in and joined Darren and Gary as you where showing the heron so much 🦜🦜🦜🤣🤣🤣
Hi Ken, no there is very little chance of that. A bit of wobbly footage is the best you can hope for from me when it comes to wildlife!! 😊👍
Ah, is that a “Dismaland Bemusement Park” shirt I see you sporting? At first it had me confused. 😀
Yes, well spotted! I'm not one for wearing branded clothing as a rule, But this was a souvenir from the VIP opening night, and when I went to grab a clean T-shirt it was all that was left in the drawer! 😊👍
Fibonacci in the sand.
Yes it was definitely looking that way! 😊👍
The Biking Chronicles return.We can now travel up to 150km from home.
Blimey, you'd end up with a sore arse if you cycled that far!! 😊👍
@@DGriffGallery That's why they invented cars,Dave. Don't you have them over there??
Sitting on a bench and have something to eat? At any moment I except John Cleese to enter frame dressed as a police constable and question your activities..
lol
“And now for something completely different”
Yeah they were forced to backtrack and write that into the regulations after the Welsh health minister was photograph sitting on the bench eating chips the day after they had decided to extend the full lockdown for another three weeks. Frankly, Monty Python could do a much better job of running the country than the amateurs is in the Senedd! 😊👍
