Looks like you managed to get around a bit, shame about the weather...the sun does shine here from time to time, honestly !!!

Shot wise I'd pick the 3rd one too, I think St Cwyfans church is best photographed a little bit more "straight on" to emphasise the fact that it's actually on an island in the middle of the sea, the "causeway" gives a nice lead-in too.

The Menai Bridge needs evening light for me, it stands out much more from the background then. Red Wharf Bay is another favourite place of mine, it's quite difficult to photograph..your shots works well

This could definitely be the upgrade I've been waiting for from my GX10...I tend to be a little cautious before spending my cash though so will await some review/user info..much depends on how much it improves on the K20D

Thanks for the comments..

the shot was one of the 1st taken after I got serious about my photography and at the time I didn't have Photoshop, hence it sort of got left on the PC

Simon

Just checking through some old shots again and came across this one, can't understand why I "archived" it as it's probably the best sunset shot I have

All C&C welcome

I'm currently considering optiongs for when I can't be bothered to carry the DSLR around and having read the options the Panny LX3 seems highly rated..the Canon G10 is also on my list but the wide angle of the Panny suits my needs more....anyone on here use the Panny ?

thanks

simon

Nice shot Sue,

great place for photography too..did you get any shots of those impressive interiors, the Main Hall with it's oak panels is very impressive imho...perhaps photography isn't permitted inside ?

simon

I've lived in North Wales for 10 years now...believe me it won't be enough

Portmeirion is great especially as you're stopping the night, it can get very crowded in the day

Simon

Now that's a great shot...I must admit a fish-eye has never really appealed to me but this shot changes my mind !!

Funny thing about the placename is that it's probably one of the best tourist cons ever invented, the elongated name was made up in the 19th century to attract tourists, it definitely worked...every coach going to North Wales stops there, unfortunately to see probably one of the worst places on Anglesey !!

Simon

Hi Malcolm,

If "different" is what you're looking for then around North wales Anglesey is probably the best bet, there are lots of little known/photographed bays/beaches. There's also the "moonlike" Parys Mountain which was once the largest copper mine in the world. Amwlch port is also worth a look, now rather rundown unfortunately but consequenetly not well visited and it still has some character

These are just a few suggestions from the "top of my head", the more well-known locations are well documented on the www, if you only visit one beach make sure it's Llanddwyn near to Newborough !!

Simon

Hi,

You're spoilt for choice really..mountains, stunning costal scenery and numerous historic buildings...there's a few articles on my website which I put together to try and give fellow togs ideas of places to visit, feel free to have a read !!
