May 6th Bank Holiday 2013

Well today the weather was really fantastic. I took Anita to her parent's house in Chirk and we went for a walk (me with camera in hand as usual). I took a few shots whilst coming over the Horse shoe pass on the way. The Ponderosa was packed with bikes as usual.

Then a trip to Glyn Wylfa in Chirk, to check out a it's potential for gallery/other use. I think it looks pretty good, what do you think?

Then we had a walk around Chirk itself. I dropped my shades so I had to go around again on my own looking for them.

Then I went out to the Three trees in Chirk, looking for a Panorama shot, here is the view from a field on the south bank of the Dee valley looking over Llangollen.

Chirk Castle

Then on our way home. This looks like an HDR image but it is just two exposures of the same shot blended together using a simple layer mask. I did do a version run through HDR software but it just didn't have as much detail.

A long walk in Llandegla

Today I went for a walk in Llandegla forest with Matthew and his friend Mat. Unfortunately we ended up at the far end of the woods from the car park with only an hour before the car park gate got locked. We made it with minutes to spare. Here are some of the pictures, lots of HDR sorry for those that don't like it, but here goes;

What a day today

Went for a bike ride this morning, Connah's Quay to Chester. Again I stopped a lot along the way to take pictures, and besides that being what I do, it helped me keep my heart beat regulated;

Here are some of the pictures:

Sealand road park, time for a break

Fortunately this was fenced off so the swan didn't chase me off.

Onto the Cycle track through Blacon and Sealand

Journey's end and then the phone rang

Today with Flintshire Social Links

Today we went to Gladstone's Library in Hawarden.

Here are some of my images;

Down in the woods today

I went for a couple of hours walk today in Wepre woods. Most of the images I made were from Infrared mostly just a simple channel swap to get the blue sky but it's faux colour so I have played around a bit, using Photoshop and Lightroom4.
