Llyn Padarn
A (very) slightly different shot from an earlier posting but i'll probably never take one as good as this again so apologies for the repeat!
A quick last post before I shoot off to Scotland for a week or so. Here's another of That Tree at Llanberis, and if you look closely I managed to catch a small flight of midges hovering around it's upper branches. I did like the delicate high cloud, but it soon burned away to give a cloudless sky - something of a rarity in Snowdonia.
Nice stop at Llyn Padarn to try and catch some lovely light and cloud movement

That Tree (Llanberis version) at sunrise on a glorious day in Snowdonia. This little tree usually has wet feet, but the lack of rain has caused the water levels of Llyn Padarn to drop somewhat. It was good to back in amongst the mountains.
Great spot for a pic this :-)
Into September now and I still haven't been back to the Lake District since C19 kicked off, I guess I'm just builing up a appetite for it... I decided on the spare of the moment without even bothering to check the weather to book a few days in Snowdonia, I fiugred that even if the weather went dreary I could just head to Dinorwic Quarry and embrace the gloom as it often looks great in wet and dramatic weather....
I'd never really got anything I liked from this location before and hadn't planned to shoot it on this trip, but the B&B was only 5 minutes away, the conditions looked good the night before, and I'd also get my breakfast before a day in the hills so I talked myself into it...
As it happens I'm glad I did as this is to date the best image I've got from here, definitely worth crouching down in the water and getting a soaked backside for anyway!
The eruption of light over the tops of Dinorwic was great but quite brief, the hardest part of getting this shot was getting the tree as still as possible during the exposure as you can see by the water movement it was (annoyingly) fairly windy, a couple of grads on for the sky was giving me around a second and then just had to stare at the tree to wish it to keep still.
For anyone like minded who is wondering, the Breakfast was great :-) even with a wet backside.

Taken on Sunday morning before meeting up with my clients on my one day workshop to Llyn Padarn and Llyn Ogwen. I visited this location back in April...
