Snowdonia by bella_ss

Snowdonia

We found this beautiful spot while walking in Snowdonia in Wales. I rested my camera on a rock for the long exposure.

I'm trying to get back into posting. It's very easy to get out of the habit but I have missed seeing everyone's lovely shots. I've been feeling a bit out of sorts and at a loss... I think I'm missing 365 and all you fabulous people!! The support and comaraderie here is amazing.

what a fabulous pov. i love it!

What were your settings?

Beautiful! What a lovely spot.

@kiwichick Thank you Lesley. 16mm @ f/16 ISO80 for 1/4 second.

@bella_ss Thanks :) I like how the whites are not blown out. I often have trouble with that, but 1/4 sec isn't too long to overexpose it.

@kiwichick I agree, it's very easy to blow out the highlights with long exposures.

Wow what a gorgeous long exposure and love your pov Sheralee!
September 2nd, 2015  
Gorgeous capture Sheralee :)
September 2nd, 2015  
Great shot. A question - when you put your camera on the rock, did you turn off image stabilization on your lens?
September 2nd, 2015  
This is gorgeous Sheralee, I've been remiss on commenting.
September 2nd, 2015  
This is beautiful, perfect comp and exposure. You have voiced my feelings exactly Sheralee. I've been posting quite a few old images over the past couple of months and fallen a bit behind with commenting but you're right about the camaraderie and lovely supportive people on this sight.

Such a beautiful picture you've created of this scene. You made good use of that rock as a tripod!

❤❤❤

Glad to see you are back,Sheralee!Wonderful no-tripod-long exposure!Lovely vibrant colors!fav!

@cirasj the image stabilisation is in my camera Joe not the lens but no I didn't turn it off and I'm often confused about when I should. I would appreciate your thoughts.
September 2nd, 2015  
@bella_ss If your camera on on a tripod or on a solid object it should be turned off. If it is one, the camera gets confused and tries to steady the shot making it a little shaky. This picture looks a little out of focus due to that fact. I have taken star trail photos and long exposures of streams and waterfalls and have notice with my stabilization is off or on.

A truly lovely scene. Love the green moss and overall tranquility.
September 2nd, 2015  
Lovely shot and a beautiful part of the world. I've been a bit behind too, posting one handed shots (since fracturing my wrist) and putting in fillers when I couldn't hold a camera. Good to see you back again.
September 2nd, 2015  
So good to see you back!! And what a way to kick it off. Beautiful scene!
September 3rd, 2015  
@cirasj Thanks Joe, I'll have to remember to turn it off in future. I never think about it until it's too late.

Stunning scene - Snowdonia is somewhere that always manages to look amazing!
September 3rd, 2015  
An instant fav. What a gorgeous scene! And the capture is magnificent. What part of Snowdonia is that? I was holidaying in Snowdonia a few years back. Glad to see you back.
September 3rd, 2015  
@bella_ss It is not easy to remember. I have a sticker on my tripod to remind me to turn it off.
September 3rd, 2015  
Gorgeous, fav!
September 3rd, 2015  
Wonderful landscape Sheralee.fav
September 3rd, 2015  
@cirasj what a good idea!
September 3rd, 2015  
@sangwann thanks Dione. We stayed at Llanberis and this was on the walking track up to Snowdon. We didn't walk all the way up though, we had already been up on the train.

Beautiful picturesque scene. That mossy rock in the middle gave me a chuckle though because it made me think of a prehistoric sea monster rearing its head. Haha.

We have missed you too, this is stunning

@skstein Haha, I see what you mean. I would have preferred a higher shot but that's what you get with no tripod :)
