Went for a walk along the North wales Coastal path starting in Conwy...it's a shame most visitors to North Wales miss this one as they head to Snowdonia, the views are stunning especially this time of year with the heather in full bloom

Hi Simon - lovely series of photos (as usual!). Did you use a polariser on those as the colours really seem to 'pop'? I'd be hard pushed to pick a favourite but I'd go with 1, 2, 3 or 4

Can I ask where abouts you walked from and to? We did the short walk around Aber Falls last weekend which is beautiful but I'm never sure where to join the routes?

Beautiful shots - i think 4 is my favorite, but all are very good. Off to north Wales myself in a couple of weeks and I'll try and persuade my other half to have a wander along the coastal path...

Thanks for the comments...

These were taken with the Pentax 17-70 + polariser(rarely without it) - fortunately the intermittent cloud cover produced some decent lighting for daytime, to be honest my photos don't do justice to the colours on top of Conwy mountain - they really are spectacular

One problem I had with these shots was the very bright sunlit yellow heather, the K20D captured it no problem but it was way beyond the Srgb colorspace, I've had to reduce yellow saturation to prevent heavy clipping

The shot with the horses is fantastic. Nice one.

Those are amazing, the horse one especially. It looks like it should be a poster advert for something, or the cover of a novel. Really great shot.
