Some shots from my trip through North Wales

2Thumbs · 17 May 2013 at 15:30

Spent 3 days travelling 900 miles through Snowdonia and most of North/Mid Wales this week and thought I'd show a few of the shots I took.

Also have a couple of horizontal pano's, but what would be the best resolution to upload them at?

My god you went to Wales and it wasn't raining. Holy crap there must have been a blue moon, a flying pig and a month of Sundays at the same time

The 1st photo's waterfall looks crazy fluffy.

Thats not the proper term im guessing but i agree lucky on the weather front.

What camera btw?

It was between all the shot being taken.

Had 3 inches of the stuff Tuesday night.

Canon 5Dc + 17-40mm f/4L, with mixture of B+W MRC CPL and L.C.W 9 stop ND filter.

Love the 3rd one, great lighting, nice cloud scape and a pleasing composition with leading lines

gary996 · 17 May 2013 at 17:34

Oh I like the shots. I'm drawn to the 2nd one.

#1 please can you try black and whiting, its a lovely shot but in colour its bland.
#2 & #3 are pure winners, i love pano / ultra wide landscapes and you have captured the majesty of north wales

bravo

I did try #1 in B&W before finalising and I didn't like it as much, but I'll do it and upload it since you asked so nicely.

Thanks for the kind words, I'll upload the 2 pano's in a bit too, the above are single images cropped to give a pano aspect.

#3 is my pick.

Lol, I recognise all the places, except for number 3. Is that looking towards Aberystwyth?

MrWhippy · 17 May 2013 at 21:47

like 2 and 3, probably erring towards number 2, though not sure why.

nice work.

Excellent photos - I like them all.

I'm can't help but make the contrast with when I was in the same region as numbers 1 and 2 less than two months ago:

Wow, that's a nice shot. I think I was about 300 yards from where you were standing when I took #2.

It's the edge of Snowdonia taken from Llandudno's west beach.

Ah, now I see it. Looks like Llanfairfechan in the foothills, with the A55 not-so-expressway.

Right then, first #1 in B&W with adjusted brightness and contrast as requested:

The two panorama's as mentioned earlier.

Actually it's been weeing down all week here in north Wales, with the odd dry bit

Really nice wide-angle shots, #2 and #3 are something special!
