You would not believe what I went through to get my bike up here

Well, they are not quite what I was looking for ... I need to get up there
earlier to get the light just right

and use my sky filters next time, also I need to experiment with compostion
and angles,

but, it's just a first attempt at capturing something different....

Where no 600RR has gone before ... I think

 

The place is Dolbadarn Castle,

A beautiful, peaceful place at the foot of the LLanberis pass, North Wales...





Maybe I shall show you a picture of just what I had to go through to get there,

I was scared, real scared and the bike was at risk, a little


but I hope my pics are somewhat unique


Dolbadarn Castle rests on a rocky hillock at the tip of Llyn Padarn, perched above a roadway near Llanberis, in Gwynedd, north Wales. It was built by the Princes of Gwynedd some time before 1230 and was active through at least 1284 and into the early 15th century [1]. In the 19th century, it was immortalised in the eponymous romantic painting by J. M. W. Turner.

 

Nice Jules , now I'm just getting all choked up and homesick

 

Wow, the pics are great, very good job...

 

Wow! Great pictures and nice bike. The terrain out there looks a lot different than where I live by Cambridge.

 

stunning set of pics there jules.

i think the composition is fantastic: and just a little touch of ps would tone down the exposure on those pics
oh, and, you know, remove the photobomber in that one pic.

 

awsome pics...what a beautiful country

 

I am old fashioned ... I want to get back there and use my sky filters, that way you really can control the exposure and it's very hard to mimic that in PS I'm told but I have never used PS ... sky filters and polarisers still have a place in photography but most other effects can be done out of camera

 

Beautiful, regardless. Very nice pics, jules.

Yep.
That's where I'm old fashioned, tho..... I'd just yell at them.

 

Thank you Dylan

I have been know to do some litter clearing on beaches etc before taking my shots ..lol

The old Cokin filters are hard to beat for exposure though, once a sky is burnt out it's impossible to make good again,

the best results are if you get them "in camera"
