Llyn Dinas, Eryri, Photography: Reflections

  • Опубликовано: 18 окт 2019
  • Join me at Llyn Dinas in Snowdonia, where on a tranquil grey morning with just a hint of Autumn colour starting up, I photograph the reflections of mountains in the lake. Landscape photography is often about conveying the atmosphere and conditions of a location as well as its physical aspects. And that's what I looked to achieve on this photo shoot. And when the rain came later on, instead of packing up, that was the time to make the most of the ethereal nature of a wooded mountain lake on a day like this. My filming gear wasn't up to the task, but I was pleased with the set of images I created at Llyn Dinas.

    I find I’m being asked more and more often about the equipment I use. As I’ve typed up countless replies and links and lists for friends and viewers, I’ve now set it all out definitively here: dgriff.gallery/equipment/.

    Really enjoyed the boathouse shot. The rock in the foreground shot was nice. I always love rocks in a foreground. The closing shot show was excellent. Very nicely done.

    • @DGriffGallery
      @DGriffGallery  4 года назад

      Thanks Philip - as it happens I don't do too many with foreground rocks as they run the risk of overwhelming or creating an imbalance sometimes. I wonder if photographers sometimes feel they have to place something in the immediate foreground routinely, but there are many times when I'm working on composition with a strong subject in the mid or background, they would be diminished by the inclusion of strong foreground components. 😊👍

    Great video again Dave. Llyn Dinas is my favourite lake in Snowdonia. Probably because it was only a short walk from Beddgelert where I lived for a couple of years. Unfortunately two years ago, for reasons beyond my control I had to move away. I had been back a couple of times, but could only manage a couple of days at a time. But next week I'm moving back into Beddgelert for the winter, and can't wait to get back into the mountains with my camera. You never know our paths might cross on our adventures. Keep up the good work, I always enjoy watching your vlogs.

    Sone nice shots there, Autumn colours were not that bad. Llyn Dinas is a really good spot, surrounded by mountains as it is. The more photogenic boathouse though, is the one at the far end just next to the first lay-by when approaching from Nant Gwynant.

    • @DGriffGallery
      @DGriffGallery  4 года назад

      Hello Huw, many thanks for watching. You're quite right about the other boathouse of course, and I had intended to head round but wouldn't have been able to film it anyway so decided to leave it for this time. I live near enough to pop by again any time the conditions look good! 😊👍

Cannot believe that 5 years ago I actually stayed at a house bang opposite Lyn Dinas and because of the circumstances I didn’t get to explore it photographically. Frustrating , but thanks for opening my eyes up to the potential. Nice shots to tempt me back.

    I have never wandered over to the far side of Llyn Dinas, I should methinks. I think I recall Gary N doing one from the other side of the lake and being bowled over by it's beauty. Autumn with some light must look spectacular. Another accomplished presentation by yourself with some excellent images.. I particularly liked the ourto section where the misty conditions gave you some images that looked quite ethereal .

    • @DGriffGallery
      @DGriffGallery  4 года назад

      Cheers Al - I would really have liked to film the final image set because although it was quite heavy rain it was very atmospheric, falling vertically and rings from the drops not being lost in a ripple on the water. Also the misty hillside layers would have been worth discussing too! 😊👍

      Hi Steve, yes I'd been waiting for that set of conditions. I'd hope for slightly better light, but moody skies over a flat calm were the order of the day. If I'd had the time to pop across there with those conditions I'd have covered the location sooner. It would have been good to be a couple of weeks later for some more arboreal colour, but you can't have everything! Oh, by the way - do let me know if you have any plans to be nearby any time soon as it would still be nice to say Hello in person ... 😊👍
