Good set, I do like the composition of the second image very much, the path from the cross to the lighthouse works very well.

Ditto - just thinking the same thing.Good set, I do like the composition of the second image very much, the path from the cross to the lighthouse works very well.

To pronounce, think of it as two words, New-Borough (or as we say in Welsh, NIWBWRCH)

Some images from a recent visit to Newborough Warren and Ynys Llanddwyn.
The light was changing constantly, and at times was dire
Here's what I managed with my Cokin P GND, Lightroom 4 and limited PP skills

The GND was used with the Sigma 18-50.

Strangely enough, the sun was a bit of a hindrance at times when slowing down the shutter to try and get the blur effect in the waterfall.I like these

Not often you get to complain about the sun being out in North Wales

Unfortunately I think it's very difficult to get great shots of Aber falls but these are nice, give a good "feel" for the area and scenery around the place...wonderful walking area too

Thanks Simon, the crowds weren't too bad during our visit, therefore some tourist-free images were possible (I'd imagine the Summer months would be a nightmare for photography, due to the crowd).Unfortunately I think it's very difficult to get great shots of Aber falls but these are nice, give a good "feel" for the area and scenery around the place...wonderful walking area too

Thanks all.

Another to consider is the Sigma 18-50 DC EX, which also has the constant F2.8 through the zoom range.
Very pleased with mine, and the odd one appears in the various classifieds every now and then.

Interesting, just like my home village, named after the founder of the granite quarry - Trefor Jones.The owners daughter was called dorothea have dived that quarry a number of times in my youth
The lake pictured is not the one used by divers (dont know if there is access to this one, the pictures illustrate how near I could get).
The other lake is a short walk from this point, and now includes a slip which divers can take their cars down (as was the case on Sunday).

Agree with how difficult spots like this are to capture properly. #2 is the pick of these - with the colour contrasts emphasising the water.A lovely spot which is full of interest and yet hard to photograph, so well done for getting these!

Some shots taken during another visit to the ruins of the old slate quarries in the Nantlle Valley (known locally as Dorothea, where the deep lake is located, attracting divers from all around the UK).
