Dyffryn Mawr

This is part of my daily (or nightly), dog walking route. Known locally as Dyffryn Mawr (roughly translated as large valley), it's a great example of a glaciated V-shaped valley.

It was very gloomy when these were taken, with the camera perched on a gate's pillar.

K5 and Sigma 18-50 and Cokin GND.

Nice, think I prefer the landscape version,shows up the leading line of the track to more advantage.
C&C welcome.

There's a lovely depth to the light in these photos, rich colour and I especially like the fine control over brightness levels between ground and sky with perfect contrast.

Thanks all.

Indeed Stu, hardly a day passes that I'm not down here. Although it's a bit eerie coming here in the winter darkness with only my torch for company

You make excellent use of the track here. Good colours and sharpness. The landscape version is the best but I like the full view of the fence posts in the portrait shot.
Best wishes,

Andrew

No danger there Stu, as soon as I fetch the torch he's out of the door
