Starting to do a few test shots for a leaf project. A bit of playing about with lighting, and see if I can get something repeatable in due course.
You know those moments when you start to do something spontaneous, not that spontaneity is one of my fortes; I tend to study the blueprints and the layout, monitor the security routine, check the alarm system and assess the exit strategy, at least I would if I was about to do a bank job. (Note conditional tense!)
Sorry, I'm digressing but remember digression is the better part of valour (don't you love a good misquote), anyway, back to the moment, and mid action you realise that you really should not complete this movement but the email does not get transmitted to the muscles in time?
This is one of those occasions. I'm currently stood on the original stone arch of the Pont Pen y Benglog directly underneath it's younger, bigger brother, built by Thomas Telford in the early 19th century to improve the reliability and speed of travel between London and Holyhead.
Engrossed with the sounds and beauty of the fast flowing water I decide to take a step back from the three legged friend and just enjoy the moment........... Just a few inches further and I would have enjoyed a scenic trip over the beautiful Ogwen falls and down to the Nant Francon valley! The idea of white water rafting really appeals, however I would prefer to actually do it in a raft!
But guess what, I'm still here.
I was torn between a few different tracks but this one came out top. It's 11 minutes of Woodkid, so put the kettle on and grab a box of Kleenex, other brands are.......quite frankly not up to it.
