So sorry you had that experience, Daniel. Very refreshing though, to see the real life experiences you have with photography. Thank you for sharing. Love those lights in your office as well😊
Thanks so much for watching Tara, I really do appreciate it. I think it’s important to show the real things that happen, we all have fails now and then so no point in trying to pretend everything is just perfect all the time and if nothing else it might make a few people laugh so it’s worth sharing !
So glad you managed to retrieve your phone. Love your honest videos and you actually got a couple of lovely shots despite the epic fail afterwards. I actually like the cruise ship as it’s reflective of the current situation and tells a story. Keep the vides coming!
Really do appreciate you watching so much ! And thanks I think its important to show it how it really is and that we all make mistakes sometimes, no point in trying to pretend were all perfect ! hopefully it gave a few people a laugh anyway !
Oh no, glad you managed to get all the kit back, using the tripod as chopsticks to recover the phone is brilliant. Lovely shots. Like the different shutter speeds, can't decide which is my favourite.
Thanks so much for watching Chris, yes I was very relieved ! Im not a massive fan of the long exposures so I think I prefer the other but to be fair neither will go on my website or portfolio, the original 2016 one is way better I feel so that gets its place !
Glad you managed to get your phone back. Photography is expensive and it is no fun loosing or damaging your kit. Love the sunrise and cloud formation 🙂
Thanks very much Jennie, it was a bit of a rubbish shoot and I was gutted to miss that sunrise but these things happen ! As long as everyone’s safe it’s a win !
Ouch! You managed to salvage so nice images though! Glad to see I'm not the only one who has various 'incidents' when out and about photting! With lockdown, I'm restricting my trips to where I can go on my bike. All good so far, then yesterday, about 7 miles from home, suffered a puncture! It was a long walk home although it was a lovely early morning and quite an enjoyable walk back. Got the pictures I was going for too! One thing I must do is remember to take my polariser filter with me as it's a 'watery' sunrise I'm trying to capture! Always look forward to seeing your vlogs, thanks for taking the time to film your exploits, Cheers, Andy
So sorry to hear of your mishaps there Andy but at least you enjoyed yourself and that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day. I was more gutted to miss the sunrise I think than the equipment! Really do appreciate your kind words and support, thank you so much
Lovely images Daniel, beautiful colours in the scene. Glad you got your phone back. A few people taking images by the sea have been caught out by incoming waves. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks very much John, I’m usually very careful in terms of tide and waves, I just got caught out by the wind in this occasion! Really appreciate you watching! Thank you 🙏
Nooooo!! I feel your pain there mate, I’ve had a tripod and camera fall forward before but thankfully just a few minor scratches. Great sunrise and vlog 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching Steve, I think we’ve all had a fail or two over the years, it’s like a right of passage ! I was just glad it was t my stills camera or that would have been a lot more costly !
I still really like that first LONG exposure especially, and once again you got some nice catch light on those rocks in the foreground. I am glad you got your phone back. keep up the great work .
Thanks very much Roger, but it just didn’t do it for me, both shots will end up in the bin sadly ! I do love the 2016 version though ! Super pleased to have got my phone back too ! Thanks so much for watching !
Hi Daniel just found your channel and will slowly make my way through your vlogs. I watched the very first one and if that’s anything to go by I’m in for a treat. Fantastic work, great pictures, great location. Thanks for sharing 👍
Welcome George and thank you very much for subscribing and your very kind words ! It’s all very much I it’s infancy at the moment but hopefully the quality is going up with every episode ! Thanks once again for your support !
Thanks so much ! Yea it was a bit of a gutter but as you say at least I’m safe and equipment can be replaced :) shame I missed the best part of the sunrise though ! DOH ! Thanks for watching! I really do appreciate it
@@DanielWretham You are welcome. How are you doing over there? Give hugs and kisses to my sister Slađana, pleeeeeeeaaaaase. I miss her sooooo much🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@irenamilic3835 it’s a very difficult time with the lockdown but there is light at the end of the tunnel now as the vaccine role out seems to be going very well and there is a roadmap for coming out of lockdown now so fingers crossed !!
Didn't realize that was a ship at first, thought it was maybe a small island or sea stack. Too bad it was in the way but the images were still awesome. Glad to have found your channel. Cheers!
The sky was incredible and you got some really awesome shots. The first time I woke up super early for a sunrise video, it was sooo foggy, you couldn't even see were the sun was supposed to be 😂 Too bad about the equipment, hope it won't be too expensive to replace. Looking forward to your next videos, you have a new subscriber!
Thank you very much bogdan, really appreciate you watching ! And thank you for subscribing! Equipment was all ok thanks, was just fed up to miss such a great sky ! New video out tomorrow :)
Beautiful images mate. I do love a long exposure, but on this occasion the shorter exposures worked much better 👌 Sorry to hear about your nightmare morning! I've had two disasters photography wise. I was with Tom, Neil and Luke at Corfe Castle a couple of years ago, it was an epic misty sunrise, at the end of the shoot I wasn't concentrating and put my tripod down on a slope, turned around and it crashed to the ground smashing my filter and shearing the front element off of my lens! My second disaster was far worse, I was at Dungy Head for sunset on my own, I put my camera bag on the ground behind me in what I thought was a safe position, suddenly I got taken out by a rogue wave up to my waist, I looked back at my camera bag which was under water! I didn’t know what to do, I was soaked and so was all of my gear, to cut a long painful story short I managed to dry everything off back at my accommodation, but I completely killed my 70-200 lens. Huge lesion learnt there!
Omg Dougie that’s a nightmare !! Thank god you were ok ! It’s happened to many others before you and you certainly won’t be the last ! At least gear is replaceable ! Thanks for sharing mate, really appreciate you watching! Thanks
I was more gutted about missing a great sunrise to be honest Ian, although at the time I was really worried about the phone ! To be fair I wasn’t that keen on the pics I got there but I do really like the 2016 one ! Thanks so much for watching, I really do appreciate it!
That vlog was looking so good , then i see the image tip and i was not laughing at all my heart sank , what a horrible thing to happen to anyone, glad it did not cost you to much and you got your phone back.
Thanks Lee, the sunrise was awesome and it was really getting going when it happened so sadly I missed it ! But these things happen and no point in getting upset about it, thanks so much for watching Lee, I really do appreciate it so much
Really appreciate it mate but honestly they weren’t great :/ certainly won’t be going on the website but felt it was good to show these situations as it’s a far more honest representation of how it is out there ! As always, really appreciate you watching! Thanks 🙏
Ugh, more painful than funny. My only painful moment so far was out the Bill one morning last year when the wind took my tripod over (wasn't even windy, just a sudden gust) and shattered my only ND filter which remained attached to the lens, had to go back home for tools to remove it before I could go back out, so cross! Also I'd have to agree with a previous comment, the 2016 shot is perfect, but the cruise ship in shot for this vlog is of the time, you'll be able to look back and think although this was really tough, we made it through. As always, superb work.
Thanks so much for watching Rhonda, I feel your pain on the filters ! I broke my ten stop on the first day in Wales photographing waterfalls 😱 really didn’t need that ! The more I think about it the more scrapes I’ve had ! Someone trying to tell me to give up !
Thanks so much for watching Jed and really pleased you haven’t experienced these things, it’s a nightmare when it happens but we move on and try not to let it happen again !
Thanks very much Stuart, sadly neither of the two images i shot will make it onto the website and I missed the best part of the sunrise by far but I was very happy with the 2016 one ! It’s good to show a few that go wrong though otherwise people will think this landscape photography lark is easy 😂 really appreciate you watching, thank you :)
Kase magnetic filters are great ..... but a nightmare in bad weather ..... during a trip to Skye in October I lost a CPL on day 1, dropped another in a waterfall on day 2 and ended up soaked retrieving it and a CPL and ND blew off on Neist point on day 4 and ended up 10ft down the cliff in a crack. The wind was too strong to risk trying to retrieve them. The previous year I dropped my Lumix S1R in Blea Tarn. Despite being completely submerged for over a minute it worked fine afterwards and both camera and lens survived with no long term damage .....
That’s sad to hear steve, at least you’re ok that’s the main thing. I’ve never had a problem with the Kase filters, they seem to grip on no matter what the weather ! I had a lee system with a brand new CPL and hard grad on that just fell off the ring and ended up in a river never to be seen again the first day I used it ! Easy way to throw away £400 plus :/
I'm glad your Osmo Pocket is all ok! The gimbal can be a little bit prone to damage! I use the pocket too, though I find using it with a phone really drains the battery fast, so don't normally link them up unless I really need a bigger view. You got some nice images though, despite the problems :)
Thanks very much Charles, I like the pocket but have the same issues you do with it so I decided to get a canon m6 ii instead to be a bit more robust and have the larger sensor so I’ll see how I get on with that ! Really appreciate you watching! Thanks
Mate. Nightmare!!! Happens to us all. A few years back, the sea killed my Canon 5dii. Lesson learnt, now have all my gear insured with Eversure. Branksome is my local beach, there a couple of time a week during lockdown, TBH I don't bother taking the camera. I'm off tomorrow and hoping for a nice sunrise. Is Wareham river local? Yeah local enough. 😉😂
Thanks so much for watching Chris ! Yep my old 5D mk ii was killed by a rogue wave and now I’m fully insured :) I think as photographers we will always suffer a fail or two along the way, as long as you’re safe then it’s all good and things can replaced :)
I remember being told a tip when I started out, that was “always looking behind you”! Shame you didn’t get to capture the whole sunrise, looked a beautiful start to the day. Touch wood it’s been a while since any disasters have happened, it’s usually slipping or falling over rather than breaking stuff. Nice one mate...
Felt your pain Daniel I remember when I did a video from chesil beach and got my drone a bit low to the water 💦 and instead of going up I went down managed to get it back but the salt water killed it .
I had something similar earlier this year, I was adjusting the height of my tripod with the camera attached and it slid off onto the concrete floor breaking the lens which thankfully Olympus repaired for £145 but still an expensive outing. Yeah, that version in 2016 was better IMO.
So sorry to hear that Chris, I guess we all have accidents from time to time but as long as we come hone safe then gear can be replaced ! Thanks so much for watching and letting me know I’m not the only one to have a mishap !
ive fell in a river killed one camera .smashed the lens off another again in a river lost a lee holder and grad that just fell off on crosby beach as the tide was coming in .. my original 5 d mk2 fell over loads of times lol the funniest thing was trying to drag my mate who is like double my weight out of quicksand ...left a pair of wellies sticking out of mud at another place to ;)
Oh Daz that sounds shocking !!! Ive had the same with the Lee filter falling off into a river with a brand new polariser and 0.9 grad and holder ! I was gutted ! So pleased I moved over to Kase now, its just so much more secure ! Stay safe out there Daz and thanks so much for watching and commenting :D
Well tho the tripod and phone fell over, at least it survived and your pics are gorgeous regardless of the mishap. My worst photographic experience happened in Durdle door, most definately my worst to date. I was crouching down to get a shot of some glistening cliff, when a rogue wave came in and knocked me over... then it dragged me down into the main ocean. Thanks to some miraculous timing, a second wave crashed down by my hips (not over my head) and pushed me back up the beach - however, when it started to pull me back again, I had to slam my Canon (still gripped in my hand!) into the sand to get enough leverage to stop me getting dragged back as far as the ocean. I survived. Camera survived (!!!) My phone, cable release, and the car remote which were all in my coat pocket, didnt. I was so miserable my week long trip trip ended there and I had to limp home without any sat nav (the phone! lol) As the tide was going out, and nowhere near where I was crouched, it took me totally by surprise, and proved that even knowing this, it still wasnt careful enough. My instagram took 4 different entries to tell the full story, and warn people that tho beautiful, Durdle door CAN have a nasty side if you arnt super, SUPER aware. This was Jan 2020, I havent been back since..and oceans still bring me fear... tho I have continually tried to revisit them to help combat that.
Wow Sandy that’s terrible ! I’m so sorry you experienced that but I’m so pleased you are still here to tell the story. I’m always super careful with the sea but it’s caught me out before too, it’s such a powerful thing and demands respect and caution all the time. My old canon 5D Mk II met its end at the hand of a rogue wave, the sea can be very cruel ! Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your story
@@DanielWretham lol. Its one of my many 'adventures' Dan. Done loads of daft things like smashing filters, loosing them, slipping in rivers, having tripod blowing over etc. My mates think every one of my trips arew adventures, and look forward to the latest tale... one day I will learn...hopefully. You are totally right about the sea deserving greater respect and caution. My lesson is to never turn your back to the water unless you are walking away from it!!! Sorry your 5D mk II died...that must have been SO gutting at the time!! My 5DSr must be very water tight to have fared so well, and still working today without any issues. I must be very blessed!!
@@sandyknight3910 honestly I have had loads of similar mishaps in the 15 or so years I’ve been doing it, it’s just par for the course I think Sandy ! The weather sealing got loads better on the canons after the mk ii thankfully ! My mk iii still survives to this day despite the punishment I gave it, it’s been long since retired now but is still on hand as my back up camera just in case ! Stay safe out there Sandy !
😂😂😂😂hands down best comment this week !! I feel your pain Tacitus ! At least you got past that experience and you’re stronger for it ! Thanks so much for watching
@@DanielWretham ha! Got one, mate... A springer spaniel, best possible landscape photography companion 😂 Funny thing is, I said to that very dog the day I met the ex "we need to stay away from that woman, pup... She's trouble" 😂😂😂
@@tacituskilgore8379 I couldn’t be without my dog, I have a black Labrador and he comes everywhere with me ! Love the fact you knew she was trouble but still went there 😂 glutton for punishment 😂😂
Oh no! That was bad luck indeed! Thank goodness you were able to find your mobile though!😁

Sorry your 5D mk II died...that must have been SO gutting at the time!! My 5DSr must be very water tight to have fared so well, and still working today without any issues. I must be very blessed!!
@@sandyknight3910 honestly I have had loads of similar mishaps in the 15 or so years I’ve been doing it, it’s just par for the course I think Sandy ! The weather sealing got loads better on the canons after the mk ii thankfully ! My mk iii still survives to this day despite the punishment I gave it, it’s been long since retired now but is still on hand as my back up camera just in case ! Stay safe out there Sandy !
@@DanielWretham You too hun...I hope to bump into you one day and we can chuckle at our mishaps together!
@@sandyknight3910 absolutely! Although looking at our accident history we might both end up falling over 😂😂😂
I met my ex girlfriend while out shooting. And trust me, no one has had a worse photography experience than _that_ !!!!
😂😂😂😂hands down best comment this week !! I feel your pain Tacitus ! At least you got past that experience and you’re stronger for it ! Thanks so much for watching
@@DanielWretham you're welcome, buddy 😂👍
Get a dog, more loyal and cheaper ! In the long run ! 😂
@@DanielWretham ha! Got one, mate... A springer spaniel, best possible landscape photography companion 😂
Funny thing is, I said to that very dog the day I met the ex "we need to stay away from that woman, pup... She's trouble" 😂😂😂
@@tacituskilgore8379 I couldn’t be without my dog, I have a black Labrador and he comes everywhere with me ! Love the fact you knew she was trouble but still went there 😂 glutton for punishment 😂😂
