This landscape photography outing takes in a couple of 'off the beaten track' locations, also another location which can only be described as 'iconic'! I start out photographing Gwenfaen's Pillar. This is a rock stack in a small cove called Porth Saint near Rhoscolyn on Anglesey. It's a very difficult climb down to the rocky beach to get a low angle on the Pillar, and an even more of difficult climb back up! I use a 35mm prime lens with a 10-stop neutral density (ND) filter to create a long exposure. This smoothes out the sea in the image and creates 'movement' in the clouds.

With this photograph in the bag, we head off to the White Arch or Bwa Gwyn in Welsh, which I photographed in February 2018 ([ Ссылка ]). At that time I was unable to get a wide photograph to take in the entire promontory because there were harsh shadows lying across it. I'm fortunate this time to get the image I was after.

Then onto Holyhead Breakwater. Here I use my ND filter again for a long exposure images of the breakwater. I also do some hand-held landscape photography to capture images of boats and close-up detail of the marina.

Finally, we are at South Stack for sunset photography. A long climb down the steps on the headland to a low point under the South Stack lighthouse. The sunset isn't the best, but I do manage to capture another long-exposure photo. I'm reasonably happy with the image which you can see at the end of the video.
