Crib Goch this morning 21/07

[Trappe]

We set out for a sunrise from the summit of snowdon. Sadly low cloud masked out the sun. This was taken on the way down along the Pyg track.

That's it for now the last one, starting to fall asleep at the key board. Off to the garden for a snooze, the 03:00 start up is getting to me ;-)

Sorry Rory, I'm not keen on this one. Been on flickr to view large and can't make it work for me.
There seems to be a fair bit of noise in areas too.

No need to apologise at least you are honest Plenty more to choose from after I get around to sorting them out. Cheers, Rory

Usually I am a big fan of your work! I think it'll be one of those shots that divides opinion, a lot of people like this sort of thing.

Bit of dodging and burning required I think, there's a good picture in here somewhere, just doesn't look finished yet if that makes sense.

I had a quick go at a B&W conversion which looks a bit better. Cheers

Difficult scene to shoot this. Shooting straight into the sun with a massive area of shadow will be tough. The strong shadows just dominate too much.

 

[Trappe]

Thanks. The scene reminded me of some of Kevin O'Briens work from last year....I guess he did a better job

Don't be dishearted. The second image you've posted is a proper winner. I'd have taken a few more at slightly different elevations on the way up. Fabulous view and light

 

[Blank_Canvas]

Your second image is really nice - good work. The light looks natural. Just try brining image 1 up a bit. I think thats all it needs.

 

[Carlh]

I like those, both of them, 2nd I prefer though, simply because of the depth I'm feeling, just a shame I cant see it in a bigger resolution. The 1st one is a bit noisy but its still a cracking view. Just my 5 pence worth.

 

[Eljay]

I can see where you were coming from with the first. I like the second but wondered about a square? Nice light and lines in the foreground to suit although possibly taken from slightly further right. Not a location I've done before but certainly the sort of pictures that make me want to visit.

The second shot is beautiful, i desperately need to get myself down to snowdon!

Great place to be for sunrise Rory, I know the shot well and if the mists are right then it is fantastic as Steve said earlier very hat to control too, lovely set #2 is my pick

 

[jerry12953]

I think no 2 is pretty good. How about cropping top and bottom?

I'm longing to do an early morning on Snowdon trip myself. One of these days...........

 

[david357]

Great shots, Rory, I thought number 2 was good until I saw the mono - brilliant, you just can't beat a good black & white landscape.

I just wish I could get up in the middle of the night early morning.

 

[alfbranch]

2 &3 a great IMO

1 I think you need to take a leaf out Kevins book to make it work and that is do not try and lift the shadows let them go

 

[dinners]

With that light - number two just zings into life after number one.

That said - I really like number one as it is.

 

[SFTPhotography]

B&w Los good too. Such nice light this way

 

[dekeyboy]

I much prefer the colour version of No 2. Great light.

 

[Delta Skies]

#2 is a cracker. Lovely light and a very expansive scene. Nice one.
