I’ve enjoyed photography in various places all over the world, but the photography which is the most significant to me is from my own area, where it allows me to develop and strengthen a sense of attachment and belonging to a place and community. Probably it’s not my most attractive or eye catching work, but to me it’s the most significant. Everywhere else, I’m essentially an outsider.
Thanks for watching David and for taking the time to comment! That's a great perspective to have, I think there's so much value in exploring locally and getting to know your surroundings in a deeper way. I think that leads to really compelling images. And I think the most important thing is creating work that means something to you and I think photographing locally, or in places of significance will always give that feeling.
Some very good points made, Chris. As a fellow landscaper from the same area I too feel that documenting the landscape as a point in time during an eternal evolutionary process is as rewarding as it is important. 🙂👍
Thanks so much, Dave! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the video! I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for a number of years - your passion and enthusiasm for the landscapes of North Wales rivals my own! Absolutely, it’s like the chapel at Cwmorthin, I’ve seen photos with the roof still intact, and now it’s at risk of just becoming a pile of rubble which will be a real shame.
Cym Orthin was photographed that much in the 60s 70s and 80s it quickly became known as Cym Awful, but what a great place this is to practice your photography in what ever weather, the best pictures I saw of this place was when it was snowing, and you could see faintly the church or the barracks in the background, it was my biggest regret of not going here when I was a fit young man, thank you so much for showing us your pictures of it!
Having photos about the human impact on nature is so much more important than just the odd "nice" and "untouched" outdoors (which, at least in Europe, hardly exist anyway).
Lovely video, Chris. I think even the “purists” will find there’s little landscape that hasn’t been altered by humans now, whether it’s development, agriculture, de or re-forestation. Your passion for landscape photography is infectious 😊
Thanks Max, really appreciate it mate! Hope you're having a good weekend! That's definitely true, untouched landscapes are harder to find now and I think adapting to how the landscape changes always makes for interesting photographs. A nice sunset image can be nice to look, don't get me wrong, but I think landscapes like this make for much more compelling images (at least for my taste).
I live in the American west, and spend a great deal of time working with themes of landscape and history. There’s a few challenges as I see it to doing this kind of work. first in locations like the one you visited in this video, the images easily fall into the category of what is called “ruin porn“ by some folks. It takes a lot of observation to understand what stories crumbling buildings are capable of telling and how to capture those stories in images. One of the things that stands out to me about the buildings in your video is the amazing stonework. the people who built those structures had enviable skills, but seeing that doesn’t tell us much about how the buildings were used, or what the site was like, or how many people were there or how long it was used for, etc. Here in the west, a common problem is that sites of tremendous historical significance have nothing to photograph, the history has been erased. I made a video about that last year, in those cases ones images tend to take on a more metaphorical approach. For example, one place I visited was was believed to have several unmarked graves, so I couldn’t take a direct photograph of the history or its implications. All I had access to was a deeply rutted pasture, so the actual history had to be narrated by other means, and I could only hope that the emotional tone of my images was in the right direction. Anyway, despite the high rate of failure, thinking about landscape, history, the meaning of a place is a far better way to operate than just taking pretty pictures of pretty places.
One of my first photos was of some coal mining buildings on a valley in rural Virginia USA. They were rusted, and woods were slowly swallowing them up. I went back years later, and they were gone (wood buildings collapsed and the trees covered the ruins). I was so glad it captured them when I did. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Steve! That sounded like a great photography subject and good job for seeing the beauty in it and documenting it whilst you still could. The chapel featured towards the end of this video is constantly changing, only 20 years ago this chapel still had its roof so it's changing quickly and I think it's so important to create these time-capsules so people can see how and when these subjects have changed.
An interesting “documentary” juxtaposition would be to contrast the old slate industry as per your video today and the urban utilization of that slate and the contrast in them. Absolutely loved this video, good work, great photography and contexts.
Thanks so much for watching Michael and for leaving such a thoughtful comment! That idea is really interesting and not something i'd considered! Could make for a very compelling narrative!
Thank you for your videos, Chris. Beautiful photos 😊. I just learned in environmental history class that landscape art was all American artists had back then. Around the 1800s, America didnt have culture or art or history like Europe did, but early American artists did have an expanse of land moving from east to west. Learning this, and watching videos like yours, gives me a deep appreciation for the art Thanks Chris ❤️
Thanks so much for watching and for leaving such a thoughtful comment! You make a really interesting point, I was actually reading a book recently - 'Moon Palace' by Paul Auster and in it there is mention of a movement Landscape artists on the east coast of America, in the areas of upstate NY and Massachusetts where the main purpose of their art was to document the landscape
Good on you Chris what is your approach to photography, it is important to document history in landscape. Spectacular sunrise above the ocean as nice as it can be has not changes and will not change for millennia, but the ruin of the chapel certainly will. Pity that someone did not photograph it when it was being build and people visiting it thereafter.
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate your support. This location is particularly interesting, although there are no photos (that i've seen) of the chapel being built as it was constructed at the start of the 20th century, I have seen photos of the chapel with the roof still intact etc and therefore seeing how the landscape has changed this subject further illustrates how important it to keep documenting these historic landmarks.
What a beautiful area mate! Definitely one of those places where you go to photograph one thing but end up taking so many photos of stuff you never expected! Top b roll as well super immersive in this one 😍👌👌
Thanks for watching mate! Really appreciate it! There's so much more to explore here so will definitely be heading back over the next few weeks! It's one of those locations with so much variety! Appreciate the kind words on the b roll too mate! 🙏🏻😊
Great video. The genre of landscape photos of times gone by where people once lived or worked are my favourites. For me, it gets to the heart of photographic storytelling more than any other type of photography.
Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate the support! I absolutely agree with you! That opportunity to tell a story is something i'm increasingly drawn to, especially in other people's work. I find the photos far more compelling and thought-provoking! It's nice to hear you share a similar view!
Truth is, and especially in places like the UK, it's extraordinarily difficult to find landscape that has not been modified by human activity - the 'natural' has our prints all over it. Great vid, btw - loved the environment and the telling images. Cheers.
As an Australian I didn’t enjoy Europe much. Not for photography but the lack of nothing. Every forest has a house behind it. It’s a strange feeling to describe.
Thanks so much for watching! That's definitely true, much of the natural landscape is going that way but I think there are always opportunities to embrace that in our photography instead of disregarding these types of landscapes because of what some may deem as 'imperfections'.
I totally understand your view point, Rob. For those who want to do very traditional landscape photography you really need to take the time to explore further into the countryside. There are plenty of opportunities here in the UK to do traditional landscape photography, but for me, I feel a lot of these very natural scenes are overdone and I think there's opportunity to tell more interesting stories in landscape photography when we introduce other elements of the world around us.
Thank you so much, that really means a lot that you enjoy the videos - I absolutely love making them! I completely agree, i'm very proud to call Wales my home, i've travelled a lot but the landscape of wales is hard to beat.
Landscape photography can be "pretty" pix but it can also be about anything in the landscape - and industrial / social history are great sub-genres - as you said, James Popsys but also Jason Jones (on RUclips) has extensively documented the area of Snowdonia's slate quarries - and continues so to do. Well done, thanks.
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment! I agree, industrial/social history are sub-genres i'm especially interested in. I have seen some of Jason's videos, he has some great locations on his doorstep! I'm always drawn to photographers who delve a little deeper rather than just focussing on the natural scenery (though those types of images certainly have their place).
North Wales is gorgeous, on my bucket list to visit some of those iconic places! I have South Wales as a playground, just a short drive away, and so much to explore still. Lovely video, and sentiments, thanks Chris.
You absolutely must, i've travelled a lot but North Wales holds a very special place in my heart (not just because it's where I'm from). There's something about the landscape up here that is just so captivating. Thanks so much for watching and for leaving such a thoughtful comment 🙏🏻
Great video mate, North Wales really is special! I think landscape photography has so many elements to it that are so often overlooked and it can quickly be dismissed as, not a landscape, if there are buildings or people in it but there is so much value in including bits like that in images
Thanks mate! That style of blending of the landscape with human elements is something you do so well and it's definitely something i'm increasingly drawn to in my own photography! As you say, landscape photography can encompass so many things and I think it's important to embrace all those elements rather than just being restricted to one definition.
As someone says below there is a nice vibe to your videos Chris. Is landscape photography important - my take on it that it is no more or less important than any other genre of photography I suppose. I took up photogaphy to document the landscape I was walking in - mountains in particular. I have always had a fascination for the old buildings n stuff that one comes across in the landscape and North Waes has someof the finest old farmhouses dotted about which I would always include in my photography. I have been to Cwmorthin a number of times and like many of the old minings you really get a sense of what once was. Tell you what always fascinates me... the old walls you see dotted about - say in the Rhinogydd or Cwm Croesor where the walls literally climb up the mountain - no matter its steepness. When you stop to think abt that for a moment its pretty incredible. atb Al
I really appreciate the support and kind words! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! You're completely right, North Wales has bags of potential when it comes to these old, historic buildings. I'm still researching these types of subjects because I want to keep exploring this sort of theme - it's something, photographically, i'm very interested in.
Thoughtful topic, fine pics, and stellar drone footage, Chris. Clever intro to keep viewer attention. Sound of raindrops adds to mood. Human element has a natural draw when part of landscape images, IMO. Remnants especially hint of better times and add mystery. Finding landscape comps w/o human traces is getting more difficult. Are the lands in vid now public spaces? Venue reminds of the “Masterpiece” TV series “Poldark”. Have you seen it? Cheers!
Thanks so much for watching, Paul! Really glad you enjoyed the video. I definitely agree, there are a very few, truly wild places anymore. I think that just gives us an opportunity to create more compelling landscape imagery. I find this especially true when I think about the photos i'm drawn to from other photographers. A lot of my favourite landscape photographers don't just focus on the 'natural landscape'. Nicholas J R White's 'Black Dots' project springs to mind, or Simon Roberts' various UK based landscape photography projects such as 'We English' or 'Merrie Albion'. I highly recommend checking those out. Yes, this location is a public space, although it's not overly publicised, there are no information boards or dedicated walking trail signs etc so the landscape still feels relatively untouched. I've seen Poldark - that's a great series and the remnants of the mining history of Cornwall still make for great photography subjects! I'd like to visit that part of the UK.
Another great post. I was curious do you use the high resolution feature of the LUMIX or are the photos just the 24MP sensor? So much of photography these days is just resolution focused versus just showcasing the love for the experience of being out in nature. Regardless the location and the photos are terrific.
Thanks so much mate! That's a really good question! These photos are actually all shot in standard 24mp mode. I haven't actually experimented with the high resolution capabilities of the LUMIX yet. I do have some photography days planned over the next week or 2 where i'm hoping to really test it out properly and see the difference! I'll do a comparison video here on the channel if it would be of interest? 😊
Very interesting thoughts! For me, I mostly stick to landscapes that have no (obvious) signs of human impact, as they provide a sense of wonder and magic, similar to the landscapes of Skyrim or LOTR. What humans created in these places rarely matches the grandeur and beauty of the landscape for me. That being said, is the inspiration or escapism one might experience from such an image truly important and meaningful? Or, even remotely comparable to a whole world of such landscapes that also has beautiful storylines, lore, and music? I doubt it, but it's nice to be reminded that places of magic exist in our world too. All that being said, your images of the chapel here do conjure up a sense of magic as well as rich history here in our own world. Well done!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts too! I completely understand, I agree, there are landscapes that certainly benefit from being photographed in an untouched way, and I continue to photograph those landscapes - sometimes the natural beauty of a landscape is hard to beat!
