Loved all the images, what a magical place!
Bravo for using a creative POV for the Blaen Y Glyn image . Images like this, taken from angles above or below average eye level, really tie the entriety of a scene together, the pool leads the eye to the waterfall in the background.
Thank you for taking us along for the walk. Love how you edit things together too, makes it so easy to follow. Snacks are indeed important.
What pleased me so much in your blog is the use of ISO. I also purchased a vanguard tripod..( having seen how it performs)The two things that have helped me improve my image quality.That and learning my craft by visiting a small local lodge is stability and ISO. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Capturing our version of beauty ,also to share how you got the photo with others is an art. I enjoy your blog because of your ability to share an idea. I have found that my z8 works better when using ISO 64.+100.A tripod that 6:27 does not lose bits of its self or goes into phantom unscrew or unlock mode is key to getting the results I am pleased with. What is seen on a screen or in print is what we share. The vanguard tripod is a top tip. Thanks this was one thing that I got out of my finding your blogs . Cheers.
Glad I found your videos from The Photographic Eye.
Your discussion, or description, of the compositions is really helpful to me. Thank you for talking about them and walking through them. You acquired some nice images on this outing which reinforces, for me, your talk about the process. Cheers.
Another great, well filmed video. It's always nice to see a talented photographer at work and with you, you get the added bonus of some great fun interwoven (in fact some times you're just downright hilarious, always making my day better 😄). Thank you for taking the time to bring us along. T
Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you Courtney, fun video. I loved all the images, but the last one I liked the most. I just would have looked past that swirling pool of foam. 😂
I'm glad you like it! I initially overlooked the swirling pool myself but spotted it after walking around for a few minutes. I will quite literally walk in circles on location because I KNOW the first time I look around I will be blind to half it haha!
Absolutely Beautiful, Courtney ❤
Just thinking of you, and I see you. Don't get me wrong. I just enjoy watching your video.
Your video is so peaceful and beautiful😊
Love Balen Glynn! Totally worth the weird setup!
Great video of my favorite subject (waterfalls, forest and streams)
Nice location. Bring more snacks., stay longer. Carry on. 👍🥂
Always enjoy your videos!
I like youre vids a lot. Sympathetic and often with a good sense of humour. Good tipps, advices, wonderful locations, wonderful compositions and shots.
Keep on with that fantastic work.👏🏼
Great!
I do enjoy watching your videos and your shots of waterfalls are great. This is obviously the type of photography that appeals to you the most but it would be nice to see you step outside of your box at some stage and maybe head for the coast or mountains or even the city for a change.
I do have some plans to head into the mountains in the near future actually which I'm looking forward to! I try and dabble in coastal photography every so often but it's not something I enjoy, (at least not as much as other types of photography) but I'll keep it in mind and try not to turn into too much of a waterfall fiend ha! Thanks!
Hello, Unless you can see a nice sandy route it’s often safer to put your boots back on without your socks to protect your feet from unseen objects that might cut or damage your sole when fording. The boot won’t absorb much water, will be a bit damp, but will be fine with dry socks after a few minutes. Safe travels.
Thanks for sharing - very helpful indeed.
Thats a great location . will look stunning in autumn when the fern s turn golden bronze colour .
It will be lovely in Autumn! Potential for some great photography there later on in the year :)
Stunning location only match by your images! Think you were right to close the space between the 2 falls, works better.
Was watching this and thinking "I recognise that waterfall 🤔" and then when you got to the bridge I was 100% certain where you were 😅 it's an awesome place
I thought a few people may recognise it ha! The forest around them is stunning too!
I find your photography and video’s fascinating. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Brilliant as always !!
5:49 in - "Waterfall of Echoing Voices," i.e., 'Lanthir.' My favorite. But all were quite beautiful. "Blaen Y Glyn" would've been, if not for too much foreground water foam. Another enjoyable watch Ms. Courtney. I sure wish there were trails of falls like that somewhere around here! 💜
Have you ever tried waterproof socks? I used to do what you did until I found waterproof socks. Another great video. Love them. Keep up the awesome work
Good idea, I may try to get a pair of it.
nice one, well done and thumbs up 👍🙏💯
I like the way you talk us through your compositional choices. It's helpful to follow your thought process. You visualize your images in detail before committing them to the sensor, almost as if you were using large format film. Thanks for the guidance.
Fabuloso‼️✌️🇦🇺
Beautiful video, Beautiful location and some beautiful shots, you can't beat a good waterfall. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Beautifully filmed waterfalls. I love how you give multiple compositions of them.
Love the Lanthir composition, as you say, very Tolkien(ish). Blaen Y Glyn is very surreal as well, a good day out.
Thank you, Courtney, for such a wonderful video and for sharing your creativity and thought processes about composition. From the first fall, I particularly liked Flow, which had a real sense of depth. At the second fall, in Adjacent the two trees provided balance and the diagonal of the stream also seemed more defined. Blaen Y Glyn was very imaginative with the swirling pool in the foreground. I wondered whether it would work by blending two exposures, a slow shutter for the pool and the faster shutter as you used for the main fall. This was full of ideas for great waterfall photography. Thanks once again. 🙂
that part of rock in 8:35 as like rhino horn and the water part as like Chocolate or Tea ! my imagination always works like this 🤔
All of these are a wonderful set of images and beautifully processed with real empathy for the scenes. I wished I had come upon this trail when I still lived in the UK. Maybe on a future trip back home, I can explore it for myself.
In Southern Wales under waterfalls spray,
Courtney embarks on another photographic day.
As the end of a weekend comes to a close,
We observe her adventure and the path she chose.
In Blaen y Glyn, a popular spot,
Where people, apparently, throw their socks?🤔
A sock in a tree such a humorous distraction,
Made its way out of the frame, with some digital subtraction.
Off came her shoes, and her socks took flight,
Crossed a freezing river, not such a delight!
But Its the end of July we have to remember,
being thankful for, we are not in November.🥶
Waterfalls roaring a captivating flow,
As Courtney captures the magic of the show.
Perfecting each shot, before the falling of the night,
She danced with ferns, rocks and shadows to get it just right.
So here's to Courtney, in the waterfall's might,
For sharing your journey and sparking our delight.
Your dedication to beauty and capturing it true,
We Thank You Dear Courtney, for sharing your view.🙏
Lovely poem, but being picky Blaen y Glyn is in South Wales, not South England - just saying 🙂
@@user-cv2sf7ll4j I've checked your claim and I'll give you credit,
So I changed the text and made the edit.
One day I will visit this lovely place
and I'll be sure to get my geography straight.
@@JerryWilliam63 Hope you didn't think I was being rude - certainly didn't mean to be. Thanks for the edit 🙂
@@user-cv2sf7ll4j Not at all, be free.
I really liked the live side by side comparison with the different compositions because it really helped to show the differences. Even though you didn't move too far, to me, the second one with the shorter distance between the cascades, looked more balanced. Great explanation and demonstration!
Ooh looks great!
I love shooting waterfalls, I think you do a wonderful job.
Even if I was not a photographer I would still love your videos.
Another great video and very informative.
The only downside is the sponsor, I have not had any good experiences with Mpb !
Love a good waterfall and to find so many in one location - jackpot! You had some different POV's in there as well. Great images Courtney.
I like your choice of shutter speed in the last photo. I recently shot a small cascade in a local creek and must have taken fifteen or twenty images at varying slow shutter speeds. All of them seemed too milky and bland. Finally, I looked at my test shot which was taken at 1/30 of a second and there it was. Just what I was looking for.
Enjoyed the video as usual Courtney.
Wow what a fantastic place.
I like you explain each shot and your reason for it.
Keep up the good work.
Great image's as usual.
Great video, as always. You pay attention to composition details. Thanks for sharing your images and thoughts. One of my favorite waterfall shots was actually in your B roll. Thanks again!
Excellent job! Great video and wonderful images! You are so fortunate to have access to such beautiful scenery! Keep ‘em coming…and thanks for taking me along!
I enjoy your videos and you have shown me why I should get the 16-35 lens.
Your videos are very inspiring and entertaining. The photos are amazing. Do you have a video where you talk about the equipment you use and consider essential for your type of photography?
Great images 😁
Thanks for sharing, another brill video. Missed the dancing 😢😉
Love your images and they way you see things. Thanks a million Courtney!
Liked the image “Adjacent” and the one after it. The one before Adjacent had a rather bright spot on a rock on the right side of the image that kept grabbing my eye and not letting go.
Your videos are always a great Sunday treat! Great compositions in every photo! I felt your video was a little short! Lol, no dancing, left me a little disappointed!!! But I can understand about running out of snacks!!! Have a great week, young lady!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Forests and Waterfalls, what's not to love / be obsessed about!
Love the videos, wish we were photo walk buddies, be such good fun.
What a beautiful location! Thanks for sharing your adventure mixed with some whimsy.
I love the view of nature around you making each video.
You’re so good 👌🏻😍👏🏻👏🏻
some fantastic compositions! We love how you centered both the swirling pool & straight down waterfall. Great work Courtney
Always great to see a master at work. Fantastic images and I like the decision of varying your shutter drag according to each scene. Again I had to watch this a couple times because every time I first watch your videos my mind wanders to how and what I would shoot in similar situations, it's the situational inspirations of your photo adventures that sparks ideas in my brain, thank you. 😁
Good video! Just love your waterfall shots. The last one with the low viewpoint is great! The choice of shutter speed is excellent! Another great video from you!
This was an interesting video of some beautiful waterfalls & scenery, I just wish we had access to places like this closer to home. Excellent photos!! 😀
Good video! Fun
Thanks Courtney, I often wonder if you ever blend your focus for one image, to keep sharpness from front to back? Moreso to keep ferns, ledges or flowers int he foreground sharp as the background? Unfortunately, some locations such as this here in western Canada with waterfalls often will have signage not to walk in the gorge itself (more for safety, as it can be a steep climb down in many locations. Thanks again, for these video's, showing us a little rain can still keep our spirit alive for finding wonderful compositions.
Love to see some high speed photos of the falls. Nice tack sharp photos.
I love that pic with the swirls, very cool
OMG thats so beautiful. I realize that i live on the wrong place on earth. Here in Belgium there are not such beautiful places with waterfalls. Great video Victoria. Love your work. Please carry on! Greetz from Belgium.
Love the way you break down your shot and framing choices.
Also that 16-35mm f4 is my dream lens, what a treat!
Love the waterfall captures!!!
Kia Ora from a new sub in New Zealand.
Really beautiful shots in this episode.
another great video and great shots cant wait for the next 1
An excellent video with some lovely shots 🔥🔥🇬🇧
Beautiful location and video. Thank you for sharing.
Nice work
Amazing location Courtney.... thanks for sharing your results as they all look great to me.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘❤😊
Spectacular! Thanks Courtney
Love waterfalls. I always think that if nothing else I can photograph the waterfalls. I like to vary the shutter speed to get the streaks in the water right.
I love your videos. I would like you to put subtitles in Portuguese too 😘👍 Congratulations
Another really inspiring video. Thanks, Courtney.
I wonder how the waterfall will turn out if much slower shutter speed being used. Could the water running down be very silky? Thanks for sharing your great video.
Nice photo's but does the rain always follow you around? I thought it was summer in balmy England.😊
Nice video.
Hi. I loved your video as always. You seem to find really good spots to take your photos. I loved the last waterfall pic and agree it looked really good with some water action.
Thank you
Thank you Courtney and thank you MPB
Love waterfalls
Like you said, lots of potential there! If you revisit that spot, take some hip waders and get right in the water where it is shallow. There were a few spots that looked good. Get low while the water is flowing past and I’m willing to bet that you’ll get some some even more impressive images than the standout ones you got in this video. Get “immersed” in your waterfall scenes - LOL!
Ooh yes! Could result in some interesting images and it'd just be fun to splash about in the pools ha!
Howdy Courtney from Florida USA! The first image, "Flow", is a magnificent capture. When you first went over it, I saw in theta area the squared off rock. Kinda reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright(I don't know why). Great video....but no dancing??? Keep up the great work!
Another great vid, and what a location !
Would be interesting to see a blend of 2 or more shots on the swirling one, keeping the waterfall at 1/20, but seeing what patterns maybe came from a 1 minute or so in that swirling foam ?
Definitely an idea to try next time! Thanks!
Great location and shots!!!
Cool! New Courtney video!!!
You really did justice to this beautiful part of the country Courtney, thanks for sharing. I am fortunate enough to live 15 minutes away from that location & often visit - as you can imagine. We are extremely fortunate to have a number of wonderful waterfall locations in the area. Hope to see you visiting more at some stage.
Where is this?
You've got such a beautiful area on your doorstep! There seem to be quite a few trails and locations to explore around the area which I'm looking forward to becoming more familiar with in the near future.
@@charlottemorley6535 Blean y Glyn Isaf (search that on Google maps) in the Brecon Beacons. A couple of miles from the far end (not dam wall end) of the Talybont reservoir. Park in the car park, but walk out the car park onto the road & turn left to cross the little road bridge there. Immediately after crossing the bridge, there is a gate on your left - go through & up that way. i.e. with the river on your left. This is the best way to see all the waterfalls first, and then you can do an anticlockwise circular walk bringing you back to the car park. What three words leaky.ladders.sporting
maybe a polarizer for that final image? great stuff!
Am I the first comment? I don't think that's happened before.🙂 Beautiful waterfall photos, Courtney. Love your videos. They are the next best thing to actually getting out with my camera.
Happy first comment! Unfortunately I wasn't online when the video went up so I didn't see, but I'll believe you haha! :)
Fantastic video as always, I’m not sure I know these falls I wish I had when I made my book but none the less looks like a place I should visit, thank you for your content keep them coming
You're welcome to shoot me an email or message if you'd like to know the location in this video. I just searched for your book and I'll definitely order a copy, it looks great! I hope to be spending a bit more time in Wales over the next few months so I've been purchasing books and maps for inspiration. :)
@@CourtneyVictoria thank you I’ll definitely do that I’m following you on instagram so I’ll message you there, I hope my book helps it’s 30 stunning waterfalls in wales, while this channel doesn’t have much content at the moment my previous one had over 300 videos largely waterfalls so if I can help your search in anyway please let me know
Some really good pics. Where is the location ?
❤
Nice images! The one with the low angle and swirling water in the foreground could perhaps be even better if you took an image with a slightly longer shutter speed for the foreground and blended it with an image of the background with the shutter speed you had. Then the swirls would probably have appeared more.
you standing at the edge at 09:45 gave me anxiety haha
Really like your videos Courtney. I'm interested to know where you focus in your waterfall images.
I would like to know what kind of camera gear you use..i.e. camera, lenses, tripod. You take such great shots.
