Landscape Photography at Penmon Point 

Steve, you videos are inspirational for me. This is one of the best advices I ever heard to improve my photograph: Don't get a new lens, maybe just get a cafe (coffee). I enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing them.

Loved it! I am heading back in your library. So wonderful to view and see the final exposure.

Superb video and shots,gorgeous place!!!

I am glad to see that the small landscape shots are still done. All great shots.

Loving all the videos! Great job.

Like your images!

I’ve just returned from Anglesey, literally yesterday but as it was a holiday with my wife, and dog first and foremost, photography trip second I didn’t really get much really, mainly due to lack of sleep as the place we stayed was great but the pillows were awful, plus I forgot my V Pillow, I have COPD ( under review ) and scarring on my lung so have to sleep sat up most of the time. I shoot Street mainly but I’m wanting to do more and more Landscape Photography so looking to take a drive back down come Autumn. Love your videos Steve, just straight forward and down to earth.

Steve, Your videos are just getting better and better!

Thanks for this one Steve. I "stumbled across you" this morning with your New Brighton video and then saw this one. I was back in Liverpool in February and also did New Brighton and Penmon Point! My sisters thought I was mad, but being out on that point before sun-up was wonderful and I got a couple of keepers. Thanks again - really enjoyed it.

For long exposures on water, I usually don't go past 1second exposures as you can get the lovely lines of the water drawing back. Or then I'll try for like 2mins or more of an exposure to give that misty look.

ha ah ,great Steve , and yes having food boosts morale.

Excellent work....Serene scenes.

Great location... great job!

You made me want to visit the Cafe!!!

Great video but the best time is a clear day with high onshore wind and the tide half in- waves break over the top of the lighthouse! Park into the wind though so the car door doesn't get blown off. Also you will need to clean off the front surface of the lens every few minutes due to salt buildup. I learned by experience! Check the shot in the cafe.

Lovely shots Steve, enjoy your videos.

Penmon is a place I visited often in my youth. I spent hours there fishing for mackerel. I had no interest in photography back then.

good. keep it up

Very enjoyable video as usual Steve. The close-up shots do nothing for me, but I still enjoyed watching you take them.

Hi, I do like long exposures with water. Just wondering what happened to your shot? Did you not like the look of it or did it not expose properly? I enjoy your vids. Thanks

Hi Steve. Stumbled across your vids and really enjoy them. I've just purchased a lumix g80 to take up photography for the 2nd time. What's your views on the image quality? Can you get enough pin sharpness in the final product. I've got a 12-60mm lens that I'm going to be using for landscape photography. Any thoughts would be welcome

Inspirational. Need I say more?

Bacon makes everything better. I really like your dedication to your shots, the use of the tripod and the remote cable really commits you to your shots. I’ve taken similar shots around the seaside here (New England) but rarely setup the tripod, I just walk around and snap away. The result is way too many shots to have to manage afterwards. I like the idea of slowing down and getting things right before the camera, then in the camera. I am interested in how you do focus stacking in LR. You mentioned this twice. I know I can do panoramas and HDR’s in LR, but never seen focus stacking. Are you selecting the images in LR and sending them to a plug-in or to PS?

With the G80 you can get the camera to focus stack for you can't you? I think you can :) Great vid again!!!!

I find it interesting that you shoot micro 4/3 digitally but then shoot large format film. Is there a reason you don't shoot full frame digital?

I really like the Barnacle image, how many frames did you stack?

Steve, you mentioned focus stacking in Lightroom. I do not have the CC version of Lightroom, does it have capability to blend images for focus stacking now? I have version 6.8 and I am not aware of it. Maybe you export to Helicon or some other app? I enjoy your videos and love those locations. I also think you do a very good job of explaining your photography process and ideas.

Where is Penmon Point on the Map? Thx

Anybody know any good framing tutorials?

Can you focus stack in lightroom?

That looks like one shitty tripod
