Morning YouTube and welcome back to the channel in this week's little vlog I've done something
different we're heading out with John Stoves of AJ Stoves Photography. We'll meet up and
we'll head out to a little location known as Gibson's Cave in Teessdale and try some shots
of a waterfall. I don't know what it's gonna be like this time of year
there's gonna be less greenery about but hopefully the images we'll come back with should be good.
I'm bringing the Nikon D3300 out for photography and the fz82 to do some B roll.
So we're about to head off to meet up with John and we'll see you later at the location.
We're finally here at Bowlees, this is John as you can see socially distancing and uh we're off uh to
capture some waterfall shots hopefully Gibson's Cave and uh yeah catch you in a bit.
so barely out of the car park and fantastic little waterfall there so just doing a
bit of b-roll, John's filming me now so I'm trying not to laugh
There we go waterfall that's what we came here for and there's better further up the road.
Yeah so the shots so far we'll see how they come out I'm optimistic they're quite good,
well for me anyway and uh yeah fantastic location really beautiful
we just had a load of people up at the falls sort of bathing so we've had to stop
photography for a little bit until they get out of the way but yeah fantastic.
Right John's decided he's going to cross the uh
the river right here so yeah, I've got to hold some of his gear
wish me luck
so far so good
running water
across there argghh I'm in now so I'm not bothered anything for a photo must be bloody mad!
so if you can see behind me there there's the tree, fallen tree there I'm hoping to
get something involving that if I can. It's quite interesting foreground so hopefully with
that with the waterfall in the background but it depends what you can get with the
lenses I've got today I've only got the
ordinary Nikon kit lens plus my 200mm Nikon so neither is really nice and wide angle.
This is very much a learning experience for me I'm just using the
basic camera with a kit lens at the moment and trying to get the shots get the compositions
which it's an art in itself as I said not a used to doing a lot of landscape photography
it's not really my forte but I thought I'd give it a go this time and see what I can get.
so I've just had to go with the ten stop ND filter and uh see what those shots come out
like literally all I've been taking is just the water as it runs off this ledge here
there's a couple of leaves on the on the rock there and seeing if I can get a shot there
so here we are summer hill force that's Gibson's Cave behind us
and what happened in there was there was a guy called Gibson
who was on the run from the law from Barnard Castle and he came here and was hiding the cave.
I hope you can hear this otherwise we have to do a fantastic bit of dubbing over the top
so
as we're a stone's throw away from Low Force
we thought we'll journey off in that direction and see if we can get some shots there as well.
We've had a good day we've done some shots over at Low Force as well as Gibson's Cave and fantastic
day lovely weather a little bit windy but never mind and hopefully the shots will come out okay.
I'll only find out when I get them back on the computer but this is my first serious landscape
photography vlog who knows what'll happen. So thanks very much to John for being my tour guide
today not only getting me here also showing me the best locations for the photographs and
go out and check out John's channel, so all these we say is good night for me,
good night from me good night from him as well catch you later bye for now
