Machno Falls, a very well hidden (and un-advertised) fall but well worth a look. bq. An old guide book describes the falls as follows: 'Nature has double been assisted by art for the old mill wheel plays a most effective part in the view.' Sadly the wheel has gone but the shell of the old corn mill is still standing. The clear water of the Afon Machno is turquoise as it falls into the chasm and surges into the cleft below. _Quoted from Walks Around Betwes-y-Coed by Hilarry Kendel and Hilary Bradnam_

Interesting Bolder at Ilfracombe Beach

This was taken on an exceptional clear evening in November. The full sized panorama shows North Devon, behind Brean Down. Cardiff can also be seen behind Birnbeck Pier.

Steepholme and Flatholme as Seen while docked at Penarth(they can be spotted at the right side end of the horizon). A very moody image capture on a cruise on the "Bolmoral":http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk/balmoral.htm on one of its rare trips from Weston-super-Mare. The effect was achieved by taking a series of photos, with the exposure compensation ranging from -3 to +3 EV. These were aligned then highlights and shadows were compressed. This was not my intended final photo but it caught my eye in Photoshop as I was cycling through the layer merge options.

Grand Pier and Weston Hillside. This is an HDR image, which is a combination of 5 photos that range from +2 overexposure to -2 over exposure. Combine these results in an image that produces a higher dynamic range which better captures details in highlights (ie details in the clouds) and shadows.
