Hi Paul, I have not left a comment before but felt I needed to say that the warmth and enthusiasm you show is what makes your videos stand out from the rest. In addition to great technical advice there is a real human quality that shines through. I also love how Denise tries to correct you but is mostly ignored especially with place names. Please keep up the great work.

Great vlog and images Paul. I always enjoy visiting the Watkin path. Did you know that the path by the lower part of the falls was used as the Kyhber Pass in the film Carry On Up The Khyber. There are images on the net. My understanding is that the soldiers uniforms were from the film Zulu. Anyway, keep up the good work. Best regards - Rob

Wow what an amazing Video and thanks for sharing this amazing place. I have subscribed to your channel to learn more from you. I stumbled across the video whilst searching for the Watkin Path in preparation for our next stay in North Wales. You have given me such inspiration for photographing landscapes as up to now I have concentrated on wildlife. Thankyou for the time and effort you have put in to this incredible tutorial.

Photo preference: Frozen still

@keithsandercock1412 5 жыл бұрын

I agree ... frozen or with a slight softening, say 1/5s. No 'silky' waterfalls. The best use of the multi-stop ND filters is to smooth out wave action on lakes or at the seashore.
