I was certainly frustrated. I still quite like it though, but definatley has potential. I'm gona head there again tomorrow (weather permiting) and try again.
 
Nothing special, but was called upon at 9pm for a emergency shoot for the local rag...

Cheers Ben!
Yeah there was a lot of water! Plenty of rainfall this last week. Hopefully next week I'll get to one that I tried earlier in the year but was blocked by a flooded road!
 
How much PP do the majority of you do? I do none at all - I think I need to start as some of these shots are outrageously good!

I do none, i'm generally useless with a camera lol. And that shot above was taken on a phone.

I do adjustments in Lightroom, and if something needs cloning out I use Photoshop. In Lightroom I adjust exposure, contrast, clarity, colour such as temp/saturation, sharpness and a crop. So all pretty light adjustments to boost the original photo, rather than completely alter it :)

I'm new to PP so only do little things, white balance (I have a 400d so it always seems to get it wrong), clarity and a bit of vignetting.
 
I do what's needed!

i think we can all tell a digital mess from a shot that's been enhanced by pp but I'm not bothered if I have to spend hours in Photoshop as long as it emerges looking like a photo and not digital 'art' (cringes:eek:)

You hit the nail on the head here. Far too much of the automotive stuff on 500px looks like a graphic from a game rather than a photo :S

Went out yesterday round snowdonia. Some good skies and then it pissed down.
Taken on my phone, still to look at what I've got on my camera.

Sure is. Will be going back next week.
Want to go to Llanberis too as we missed out due to the weather. Plenty of things around there to shoot.

Yeah I’ve wanted to return to Cym Idwal for a while, I went on a school geography trip and thought it’d be a great place for landscape photos.

Yeah if there's not wind the reflections can be incredible. There was some snow on the tops last week but it's gone now. Hopefully it will be back soon and/or a frozen lake.
So much around that area though.
