This mini adventure see's me getting lost in a field, spending to much time staring at a tree and practising my small talk to a flock of sheep, who in fact provided an endless source of entertainment and distracting aroma, I digress -
Join me on my 4th V log to date as I try using a DSLR to record the video rather than my trusty Pixel XL 2
After several weeks of blistering summer heat, clears skies and little in the way of opportunities for photography in general, I was determined to capture the sunset behind this famous and historic landmark often seen in the landscape by those driving north bound on the M5 Junction 8 to 7 - - I present shaky handheld and in your face footage for all to enjoy :)
The Grade 1 listed Panorama Tower was designed by James Wyatt in 1801 and was based on an earlier design by Robert Adam for a similar building in 1760s.
The building is made of Bath stone and was modelled on Tempietto Romano in Rome, which was designed by Donato Bramante.
Inside the building is a spiral staircase which leads to the 360 degree viewing platform, hence 'Panorama'. From there you can see part of Croome's 'Capability' Brown designed landscape, Worcester Cathedral and the surrounding countryside of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
As always I welcome any comments, suggestions and questions. More than happy to educate by educated and learn. Next Vlog I'm thinking of doing some low light night time city work, what do you guys think?

![Landscape Photography Challenges | Llyn Mymbyr Astrophotography & Sunrise | Geoff Moore Photography
What are the challenges of landscape photography?
In this video Im 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 Snowdonias 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 Im 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

Join me on an early morning hike up the foggy Malvern Hills in Worcestershire for some breathtaking landscape photography at sunrise. I was joined by Andrew Maguire Photography and Jade Edwards, as we captured the iconic hill landscape of Worcestershire.
With recent warm weather in Worcestershire it was an easy decision to make, getting up at 3am on a Sunday morning was a lot harder. Meeting up with the talented Andrew Maguire and Jade Edwards, we set about photographing the landscape as seen from on top of the Malvern Hills

![Blue Hour Landscape Photography | Clun Castle Photography | Geoff Moore Photography
I just wanted to thank my subscribers for your patience. I have been struggling a little with mobility issues since my last video and getting out with the camera has been harder than I had expected. Thankfully I had a chance to do so this weekend just gone, in the hopes to make use of the surprise and fleeting snow and ice we had in the UK
On this sunrise landscape photography shoot Initially I had planned only to do photography, however, feeling inspired and somewhat more energy than I anticipated, I managed to get some video work done and a few sequences that I hoped would be enough for a video. Thankfully it was.
This video see me traveling overnight from my home in Worcestershire out to the wilds of Shropshire on the Welsh border at Clun Castle. The plan was to capture sunrise and some mist rising up and around the castle ruins as that was forecast, however these things seldom go to plan, and when we arrived we were greeted by a thick layer of snow and a very sublime blue hour.
I was a I was a little disappointed by limited compositions on the ground so I took to the air with my Air2s Drone, to do some aerial landscape photography this presented a whole new world of imagery to be captured.
Please let me know your favorite image from the video in the comments section below.
Until the next video, take care all
Geoff.
