The stream, stained brown by its journey through peat, is divided by a buttress of rock on which you can see the remains of an old salmon ladded which never worked. The new salmon ladder was completed in 1993. _Quoted from Walks Around Betws-s-Coed by Hilary Kendell and Hillary Bradnam_

Sunset at Grand Pier Hotel in Weston-super-Mare taken at winter. Again, this is was a technically difficult shot to put together as it comprises of seven shots, which had to be stitched.

Sunset Over The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare. Taken in December and captures the lovely light we get at sunsets. Technically this was a difficult shot to put together as it is a stitch of nine photos, taken at different exposures.

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.

This photograph was taken during a walk last weekend. Up to now, I have avoided taking photographs of plants but have realised that I can look at them differently and am enjoying playing with the different effects that can be achieved, for example by changing the point of focus, as I have in this shot.

An interesting Panorama of the "Balmoral":http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk/balmoral.htm as it was docked at Penarth. Behind the door in front is the impressive (and shiny) engine room.

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_
