Elan Valley Mid Wales
12th April 2010
Rain, rain and more rain, just about sums up the weather on a recent trip to the Elan Valley in Mid Wales, no wonder those welsh hills are so green!! Apart from the weather we had a great trip and seeing the Red Kites is always a pleasure.
On the landscape front, decent images were a lot harder to come by, I don't mind the rain but its the lead grey skies that come with it that makes it so depressing. So when this occurs we always head off to woodland locations as this type of lighting really suits this style of photography (just don't forget your polarizing filters). Whatever the weather you can always find great subjects to photograph in the great outdoors.
We are intending to run a couple of workshops in the area in the Autumn as the colours can be stunning with the soft low autumn light, which really makes for some gorgeous landscape images. We normally shoot landscapes in the mornings and the Red Kites at Gigrin Farm in the afternoons. If you are interested in joining us at one of these workshops, please contact us for more details.
Remember, whatever the weather make sure you get out with your camera as there are always great images to be made.
