Here’s a small selection of images from the September 2012 Llŷn Trip:
There are a few lessons to be learned, and things to remember next time.
Morfa Nefyn
For these wide-angle shots with a subject in the foreground, it’s always possible to get closer. This could have been much more striking if the yellow buoy had been bigger and closer to the camera.
The camera could also have been better positioned lower down.

A number of these portraits had shadow problems. Things to remember:
- Think about the light before taking the picture.
- Don’t forget about fill flash.
Criccieth Castle at Twilight
It’s a pity the castle is so over-exposed in this picture. The shoreline, sea and sky look nice, but how to stop the lights from burning out?
- Meter the castle properly, then bring everything else up a bit in Lightroom?
- ND Grad on the sky/castle?
- Exposure blending/HDR? This is probably the one to try.
Criccieth Seascape
Don’t forget to try the Long Exposure Noise Reduction feature next time!
