So, I’m in love with the Canon 7D camera. Bought it to shoot music videos and shorts on mainly (shoots HD video) but it’s obviously a killer stills camera. Took it out for a test run at the lighthouse near me, Nashpoint. As it turned out, got there at golden hour which made for some great lighting.
To the vanishing point
No Country for Old Men?
On a clear day you can see forever
Bring me the horizon
One for the horns crew, when this went off I jumped a foot
Come on, it's Wales
You jumped a foot? Imagine what the needle would do! Some of you DJs tell the MC “no rewinds”, I imagine with that horn it would extend to “whistle massive are permitted, horns massive… No no”.
I’m coming around to the use of digi slr as for filming stuff too… I hope the 1Ds Mk4 includes this feature. Third image down is fantabulous!
I was in Cardiff last week… It was cold and then snowed as I left for Bristol.
Thanks man, got some cool video there too (including the horn going off!) but was just handheld so bit shaky for my liking. Gonna cook something proper up soon.
Reckon the 1DS Mk4 will have video for sure.
We still getting random days of snow round here, next time I’ll be out shooting.
Edit: And just noticed that 3rd picture from the top has an airplane in it too, if you can spot it…
Hey dude,
Great to see some shots of the surroundings that have in some way inspired some great tunage.
What is that giant horn used for??
Very cool shots…There’s nothing quite like catching subject matter with the sun near the horizon. I’m eager to see more of your work.
You are also my all-time absolute favorite producer. I cannot express in words the emotions that your music evokes in me, but I tend to live within that realm as much as possible…
Thanks Rob, that horn is a fog horn – not sure why it was going off on a clear day though..
Thanks for the kind words Dave – I’ll post more pics as and when, I have tunes to finish though so should be cracking on with that really.
Nice pics man! Nashpoint is my fave beach in Wales, and great place to go ‘grass-sledding’
Lovin the BMTH caption too!!
Is the airplane that tiny spot to the left of the lighthouse? Love the pictures!!
On another note, do you ever come out to San Francisco, California? I would love to see you live, and will not be in Europe until 2011, summer, and primarily to see some of my favorite musicians (you included). I do not live in SF, but it is within driving distance.
Thanks for the blog by the way. It is always interesting to learn more about musicians, because music is like poetry, a different meaning for everyone who listenings to it. You get an imagine in your head what a musician/band might be like, because of the music they make. You rarely ever get a chance to see if your image matches up with the real person.
Oh my, horrible English. Please forgive. Imagine = Image; Listenings = listens. Too much OT, not enough tea.
Thanks Mudd, I have played SF a few times but many years ago. If I ever plan on coming back, you’ll hear it here first.
One of my favourite local summer camping spots! Nothing quite like a BBQ as the sun sets over the little valley there, hearing the waves at the foot of the cliff and just lying there stargazing.
Great timing with the light and some great pics there chap!
