An Afternoon beside the River Towy

An Afternoon beside the River Towy

At the moment I have given up the idea of posting photos in chronological order. These were taken on the 15th September while on holiday in Gloucestershire and Wales

These were from Rhandirmwyn, Wales. I spent a few hours next to the River Towy taking photos of the water movement using a big stopper and in camera multiple exposure. (Image adjustments in Lightroom only) Plus a few Infrared shots of the area.

The Kymin Roundhouse In Camera Multiple Exposures

While we waited for Ian and Trish to arrive at the Kymin I decided to have a play with the roundhouse building with In Camera Multiple Exposures. All photos taken with the Canon EOS R with the EOS RF24-105 lens. Most of he images have been adjusted in Lightroom only. 

The Kymin

Holiday in Gloucestershire and Wales. We met up with Brother in law and Sister in law at the Kymin, a high vantage point above Monmouth where they live. We arrived there in good time, late afternoon. Beautiful light.

The summit is 800 feet above sea level. Lovely round house and a Navel Temple 'To perpetuate the names of those Noble Admirals who distinguished themselves' at the end of the 1700's (16 Names)

The Round House did up to August 2020 house National Trust Custodians of the site. They were the first NT staff in Wales to be made redundant due to the pandemic. The last custodians had been there for 17 years.

Day 3 Shropshire - Powis Castle - Holga Fun Lens

I decided not to walk down into the garden area with Sue, Jane and Ann and stayed up at the castle. I had my Holga Fun Lens with me and decided to have another play with it. The Holga is a cheap 'Lo-fi' simple meniscus plastic lens which gives severe vignetting, soft focus, blur, light leaks  and low contrast. It is designed for DSLRs to mimic the old Holga medium format cameras. This is not the first post I have done with this lens. I decided now that you cannot really crop the images once they are taken as the vignetting 'looks wrong. I have played with the colouration by split toning in Adobe Lightroom on a few images.
