Man, I just need to back to the car now. Oh.... lightning, thunder. I'm pretty exposed
out here.
Hello. Here I am again on another mission to capture some landscape photography
and some wildlife photography. It's going to be a good day
I can feel it, there's lots to do, I've come here to Bempton Cliffs to start the
day to capture some of the sea birds and then I'm going down to Flamborough for hopefully
a really really nice sunset.... come with me,
okay so here we are and it's an absolutely stunning places isn't it?
Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire and there's some of these absolutely amazing sea
birds the gannets are what I'm shooting at the moment and I've got a beautiful
little composition just over here because as I've said on the video in the Farne
Islands I don't like shots where you've just got the bird isolated against the
bright sky in the background it doesn't tell a story for me so I like to get
some context into the shot and for this one I'm just using these reed's in my
foreground at the bottom of the frame just to put that shot into context and
tell a story a little bit about the gannets coming down feeding the young in
the nest because what they're doing is just sort of coming up over the cliff
into the wind hovering there just for a minute and it's at that moment that I'm
trying to capture them just before they're about to land. It's a good
composition that I've got set up but settings wise it's slightly
different to when I was capturing birds in flight the other day with the puffins
because they're not moving very fast these gannets they're much bigger than
not as agile, so settings wise I'm at 1/2000 of a second because
I've got much brighter conditions today I'm at F 5.6 because I can be a bit
more accurate with my focus again because they're not moving as fast and
then currently with the lighting conditions I've got, I am at ISO 320 and
it's working out really nicely I've already got some really really good
shots and I'm going to stick around a few minutes longer just to see if I can
get something even better. I'm gonna try that now in fact
okay so that's the bird in flight shot captured very very good and now I'm just
going to go down onto the little view point there and look down over those
cliffs to try and find one of the birds in the nest or at least get a nesting
type shot it's a really nice spot to shoot actually, it's not too difficult
very good if you're a slightly amateurish wildlife photographer like I
am, but, nice all the same. Once I've done that we're then going to head down to
Flamborough and it's going to be about landscape photography for the rest
of the day. I do you really like the wildlife stuff it's good fun, I like the
technical challenge particularly of capturing the birds in flight but it's
is landscape photography where my heart lies but every now and again I like
doing a bit of wildlife stuff and when I do from now on I will share it on this
channel leave a comment down below and let me know what you think of my
slightly amateurish wildlife shots
I am out shooting some wildlife photography today
and my goodness
it is stunning.....look at it!!
oK we've arrived at Flamborough Head. I'm out again with Lyle today which is why I
keep saying we. But, the weather's very very changeable today just as we've
arrived it clouded over there's some huge rumbles of thunder coming from over
that way so..... which way this will go I'm not sure I have been here before on the
vlog and I've shot some images around the time of sunrise I was hoping to get
a lot different light tonight and get some nice sunset type shots but with
this cloud I'm not sure that's going to happen pretty much anything could happen
I think. The plan is at the moment just to stay around, we're going to go down and
explore around in a few of these coves and try and find a composition. Like I
said I've been here before I've shot it before so I'm going to try and find
something just a little bit different to what I shot last time if the light does
something I'll try and make the most of that but the day not end on that high
that I was hoping for but you never know
so we've come down to one of the coves and we're on the beach I don't think
there's going to be much photography though it is getting pretty dark the
rain is started and just a typical British summer you can never ever ever
rely on the weather. We are going to persevere I'm not giving up today we're
going to just stick it out hopefully not get caught in a lightning storm with any
luck just have some great fun with the drone so all in all it's still a great
day but I'm hoping I do at least get one landscape photograph in today. Stick with
me, I'm confident..... ish..... we'll see
it's really raining now.... ah man..... July in Britain and this is what you get
you just can't rely on it. I really want to get a shot I want to go over this
sort of Ridge over here see if I get shot into that next Bay but it's not
looking good at the moment I've got the radio tower here buzzing away as well
Ah man..... this was forecast but it was so beautiful even about an hour ago it was
gorgeous. I was......uuurrgghh, I thought it was going to be a good evening
the last tiny bit of pink that there was in the sky is now disappearing over here
I might go and take shelter in the car for a minute because this camera is
getting very wet... I'm getting wet and I'm also sweating. It is hot .....hot rainy July in
Britain
well what a day I am set up for possibly my last shot of the day we've
persevered today we've held out in the car until it stopped raining..... it stopped
raining and then it started to rain again. It's now getting pretty dark it's
only about half past eight. There's still an hour left of the light but it's just
not looking particularly good I do have though the composition set up
I am clutching at straws a little bit but I think out of that it's actually
forced me to think a little bit harder about how I can pull a composition out
of this situation so thevlog isn't a total failure
anyway camera is set up here and I have some nice colorful little flowers just
in the foreground. The lighthouse has ]
now been switched on so the beam
of the lighthouse as it's going through the rain it's casting a nice beam and
I'm using a fairly fast shutter speed for a landscape shot at this time of night
and what am I on? I am at 1/80 of a second and it's
capturing that beam really nicely going into the frame. It's actually looking
really good in order to achieve this though I've had to go for an ISO of...... what
am I at??.... ISO 3200 and I would never ever recommend that for a landscape shot but
that's what I've had to do because I want that shutter speed to be relatively
fast to capture that beam and then get the right amount of exposure for this
situation....... but it is getting dark now. There's lightning it's raining really bad
so I think that's gonna have to be it today.... there's lightning everywhere now I am going
to make my way off. Leave a comment down below let me know what you think
I've really pushed it today I've done as much as I possibly can but some days it just
doesn't work I've had a great day getting out and about with Lyle again
we've got some good drone footage so all in all.....a great day. You've got a sort of do
as much as you can to make it work but sometimes you've got to know when to call it a day and
that's what I'm going to do now. So I'll see you on another one
very soon...... hopefully in better weather..... I'm Adam, this is First Man Photography
in Flamborough.....
Out!!!
Man I just need to get back to the car now Oh...... lightning, thunder.... I'm pretty exposed
out here. So i'm going to get back to the safety of the car...... Ohhhh.... what a day
such a stunning location....but
this is what we gotta go through though..... this is what we've got to go through!!!
