Joe Cornish, the great British landscape photographer, advocates taking most of your photographs no more than thirty minutes from your home. So, here's my blog featuring pictures either thirty minutes drive or walk away from my front door or from the place where I'm staying for a few days. I'll also be writing about photography in general from time to time. Please enjoy!
On the way up to Cwm Idwal (see the last entry) I took a number of photographs of Tryfan, Pen yr Ole Wen and Llyn Ogwen with my compact camera. Once downloaded onto my computer I saw that there was enough images to make another panorama. This one's a bit of a monster; there's ten images in total stitched together with Photoshop Elements.
Fresh overnight snow followed by freezing temperatures in Snowdonia produces a wonderful sight for walkers and photographers alike. A storm is gathering over Foel-Goch bringing the threat of yet more snow and adds some drama to the scene while Llyn Ogwen remains frozen over despite early morning sun. New Year's Day 2010.
