Llyn Bochlwyd (Lake Australia) – Cwm Idwal

Hello.

I took this image at the beginning of last year, when I was getting back into Mountain walking. We were hiking up Tryfan, the weather was glorious, and we had a big group. We stopped here for a wee break, and I started snapping away. Here’s the result of a 12 photo stitch:

Llyn Bochlwyd - Australia Lake, Cwm Idwal

Llyn Bochlwyd, or Lake Australia got it’s name because if viewed from a vantage point on Tryfan, it looks pretty close to the shape of Australia, which is pretty cool. It’s located right in the heart of Cwm Idwal, in the Cwm below Castell Y Gwynt, above Llyn Idwal.  It offers a really beautiful panorama of the Glyderau, and all the way to the coast to the North.

Tiss a nice spot.

Y Glyderau – Photostich

Hello.

About a year ago – I took this photograph looking over towards Y Glyderau mountain range from Pen yr Ola Wen. Today, I finally managed to finish stitching it together, and here it is for all to enjoy;

You can see all the Glyderau Massif on this, everything from Glyder Fach right through to Elidir Fawr in the distance, screen right. Tryfan is the lump of rock on the left of the photo. Good times!

Welsh Panoramas

Hello.

Over the weekend I headed up home to North Wales for the weekend. It was a lovely wee break – I got to hang out with my lovely friends, and walk out in the Mountains. It was nice escaping the busy life that is London, but I was quite shocked to see so many people out and about walking in Snowdonia.

I took my camera with me, and managed to take a few epic panoramas of the views from the Glyderau:

Tryfan
Glyder Fawr
Dyffryn Ogwen

The first is the view of Tryfan, the second is of Glyder Fawr with the Snowdon Horeshoe in the background, and the third is looking down Dyffryn Ogwen/Nant Ffrancon.

Good times. I have set up an online shop – I’m just about to branch out into the different options of printing these bad boys out, figuring out what the best way of doing it – so if you fancy placing an order for any of my photographs, please feel free to contact me, and I will direct you to my online shop once I have it open to the public.

Thanks.

Cnicht Winter Panorama

Hello.

We had an awesome Winter in Wales in 2009. Really awesome snow, which made walking in the Mountains a fantastic experience. I managed to take this panorama from the summit of Cnicht a couple of days after Christmas.

Gaeaf ar Cnicht / Winter on Cnicht

This beast is stitched together from 12 photographs. I’m really happy with the result, apart from the ghosting effect on the rocks, far right of the image, which I will address in the next pass of cleaning up the image. Snowdon and his friends are on the left hand side of the photo.

I’m getting really into Photo-stitching  at the minute. I’m about to make my prints for sale through an on-line shop, so keep an eye out – I’ll be ‘going live’ in a few days I imagine.

Three Sisters – Glen Coe, Panorama

Hello :)

Because my iMac is so amazing, simple everyday things such as looking at photos is just simply awesome. I love iPhoto, so I decided to take a quick look at some old photos I had, and came across this, an 11 photo panorama view of Glen Coe, unstitched, so off I went to stitch them together. I think it came out quite nicely.

Edit; I’ve just remembered that I also took a similar panorama when I went to Scotland with my Girlfriend this last Winter;

Waw, check out the difference in colours! Isn’t that incredible!?
