Landscape Photography, Photographing Llanddwyn Lighthouse...

Landscape Photography, Photographing Llanddwyn Lighthouse I walked 28km for this...

Yesterday I found myself photographing some amazing landscapes and seascapes in both colour and Black & White whilst visiting Llanddwyn Island in Wales. It truly is Gods Country :)

I walked 7 km to arrive at Llanddwyn Lighthouse, only to find I had left my tripod hot-shoe mount on my battery grip back in the car. I had just removed it from my camera an hour before. I didn't have a spare in my bag either which was very unusual! I always carry a spare but I remembered lending it out the previous day. Cue the unhappy face :(

A good tip, if you have a removable battery grip on your camera, it's always a good idea to remove it to help reduce the camera height on the tripod. Reducing the height makes the camera less prone to camera shake on a windy day!

I made the decision to walk back to the car and return later in the day to photograph the lighthouse and surrounding areas at sunset. It was a total of 28 km but in my opinion worth every footstep.

Loved the vid !we went to Llanddwyn last weekend, swam in the sea from a cove it was wonderful. We loved it so much we're going back tomorrow morning even though it's a 2.5 hr drive.

Beautiful location and images, thanks for sharing. I always keep a spare quick release plate in the pocket on my tripod bag as Ive done that same thing.

[clutton]

This place looks amazing! And I love the first photo. We have a nice saying in Slovakia, probably other countries have something similar concerning forgetting stuff: who doesn't have it in head has it in legs ...

[douglasclayden]

Lesson learnt Gary. Buy a couple of extra tripod plates and keep them in the bag. Great vlog and some stunning images at the end of the day. Makes that extra walk well worth it.

[SnapshotHoffy]

It is one of those places that all British photographers needs to add to their bucket list. Well worth the walk. Even better when the ponies are on the island.

Hi Gary you always inspire me, as you are one of the few pro photographers who goes out during the day. Demonstrating compositions and the style of images that can be achieved. They maybe not award winning ones, but you got to be in it to win it. You are slipping though again no
