Llan and area.

Took some pictures around the llan area the other night. Weather was good.





Apologies if there are too many, I get carried away at times!

Re: Llan and area.

I've spent ages watching folk in canoes/kayaks on the Dee .... and Dalle Crucis Abbey ... nice viewpoint.

I'm currently planning a walk around Llangynog (not that far away from Llangollen) ... to take in Cadair Berwyn New Top (2723').

Re: Llan and area.

Looks a lovely part of the country and some nice pictures.

Could I suggest that in images #2, #3 and #5 you crop a little off the bottom of them to put in #2 and #3 the canoes more on the 1/3 and removing some of the grass in #5 again puts the building more on the bottom 1/3 as IMHO this makes them more powerful.

Hi

Really good set of images.
Number 2 is my favourite.

Re: Llan and area.

Many thanks for the comments, I think your right about the composition Muscat, it would make them a bit better. I have differnt versions of the Abbey which I'll post in a minute but thanks for the advice.

Re: Llan and area.

Good images. I'm going with the majority for #2. Partly because it's good and partly because I used to do a lot of kayaking.

Re: Llan and area.

Many thanks for the comments. I agree with you Muscat that a bit of cropping would have made some of the images more powerful. I have different versions of the Abbey one of which I'll post in a later. Really nice part of the world MX5, I work in the wrexham area so its not too far for me to get to. I took a panarama of the horseshoe pass last week with quite a lot of images stiched together. Only problem is I cant upload it either because its a very long shape or its very big. either way cant upload.

Second shot of the Abbey. Cropped a bit tighter when I took it.

Re: Llan and area.

Did you take this from the A542 or up Coed Hyrddyn? When I led a walk we went passed the entrance (that building with the grass roof) and didn't get this good aspect.

Re: Llan and area.

This was taken directly opposite on the other side of the road. There is a footpath leading up Velvet Hill which gives a great vantage point looking down onto the Abbey.

Re: Llan and area.

Thanks. When planning a walk there's seldom the opportunity to find good photo vantage points ... although I do try ... went south around Coed Hyrddyn (Velvet Hill) to Berwyn (oh yes my walks do tend to have a railway interest or canal interest or both ... but don't tell anyone ).

Re: Llan and area.

Looks like it was a marvelous day. I would have come back with a card or two full of pictures aswell.
