Watching the Rain

Humphrey watching the rain. Taken with the 50mm and edited in Snapseed.

Sunset from the Great Orme #1

Made it to Llandudno for a pretty good sunset. First real break in the clouds we've seen all week. Cropped & straightened in Snapseed.

Milky Way over Snowdonia (SOOC)

Taken with the Toki on ISO 1600 with Long Exposure Noise reduction, this is the Milky Way over Snowdonia National Park in Wales. We spent half an hour taking shots from different angles, and saw lots of shooting stars too. This is SOOC. It's a bit noisy, but I can live with it. :)

Wind Turbines at Sunset

Taken handheld with the 75-300mm lens just after sunset. Snapseed for iPad edit to slightly crop & straighten.

Ghost Ducks of Bala

An attempt at a daylight long exposure. Edited in Snapseed.

First attempt using the Toki for night work. The tide came in just as fast as I remember... Edited in Snapseed for iPad. 10s exposure with the camera on the Gorillapod on the beach.

The Snail on the Brick on the Beach

Taken with the 75-300mm as I was being lazy & didn't want to swap lens, this turned out quite well. :) Edited in Snapseed.
