What are the challenges of landscape photography?
In this video I'm faced with the following photography challenges in the Snowdonia National Park whilst shooting Astrophotography and Sunrise over Snowdon from Llyn Mymbry
Unpredictable Weather. ...
Short Windows of Time for the Best Light. ...
Capturing an image
Finding compositions to Photograph. ...
Creating Interesting Photos at a popular location. ...
Patience.
Join me as enjoy an overnight stay at the picturesque Lynnau Mymbyr lakes in the Dyffryn Mymbyr valley area of the Snowdonia National Park. The beautiful Llynnau Mymbyr, set amongst Snowdonia's highest peaks, are also known as the Capel Curig Lakes and are around 3/4 mile long, with a depth of 30 was to be my home for the evening of Moon and Star Astrophotography and hopefully a glorious photo of sunrise as the dawn light catches the peaks of Snowdon.
Unfortunately the weather gods had too kind and provided a wall to wall blanket of thick swirling mist and fog that enveloped the lakes from my arrival at 01:00 until around 07:30 the following morning.
Not to let the opportunity go to waste I set about taking my chances and with the occasional break in the weather capturing some low light and night time images in the challenging conditions.
As the early hour progressed to the first light of the morning, I was eventually presented with the image I was hoping for, a view from Llynnau Mymbyr, with the Snowdon Massif peering out from the heavens. Patience had paid off an out of a very difficult landscape shoot I managed to produce a couple of images I'm very pleased with.
I would love to hear your thoughts on my little adventure and the images produced, so why not leave a comment, like and subscribe
