Mist Stops Play.
The car parks surrounding Llyn Padarn have had new height barriers installed. Sadly I agree that this had to be done after the selfishness of people over the last few years. I can still squeeze under but the Relay, Boxer, Sprinter, Crafter sized vans, motorhomes and any hi top van can't. All the car parks were spotless and empty. I could've stayed but the signs are clear that there is no overnighting of any kind. As usual my back up plan was an industrial estate which is only a ten minute drive away.
Managed to get here a little before 4am, made a brew and then down to the lakeside. There was a lady just packing up when I arrived. She had travelled up from Norfolk and had been here since 1am for a night of astro and to take time lapses of the MW rising.
Nothing so adventurous for me. Astro is something I know very little about and I've been watching a lot of tutorials with a view to attempting to try my hand at it. After four or five test shots I was happy with my settings. I managed only three more images before the mist rolled in from the Pass of Llanberis and within a few minutes I might as well have been shooting a white wall!
So this is the best of those three images. Looking forward to having a proper go at it over the next few months and remembering to turn my head torch off!
