Bro Machno

A little bit away from my normal stamping goround, just South of Betws-y-Coed is this fantastic little gem well hidden away, Fairy Glen.

I've shot the one in Scotland a few times and they share similarities, while this one is easier to get down to I found it a lot harder to shoot, it had been raining and all the rocks (that I was precariously perched on) were extremely slippery, there was one composition I fancied but I thought it was just too dangerous to try it on a day like today (Pete in being sensible shocker!) but seriously, being on my own there would be nobody to pull me out of the river, or my gear for that matter.

I lierally took 2 shots here that I was very happy with, the lush colours that run up the mossy steep walls are great, as it the deep browns/reds of the deep water, a truly beautiful place. A polariser is an absolute must here as some of the reflections can really ruin an image, think I used a 3 stop as well for the water.

Definitely be coming back again at different times of the day and year. to this spot. Maybe I'll try the more precarious perch next time....
