Further ramblings of a self-made pauper

I have uploaded a heap of pictures onto Flickr following my week away in Wales. On reflection, I shall probably take most of them back off so I can use the space for better snaps - I really must dig out the instruction book for my Cybershot and work out how to get the best out of it.

In the meantime, I shall keep this one because I like the dramatic sky, though the rest of the lighting is very poor:



I shall keep this one too. We were treated to a series of really beautiful sunsets, one of which I snapped on my Razr and posted up a day or two ago. This is a rather better quality snap from the Cybershot.



The majority of the rest of the pictures are taken from a moving car, which I suspect has done nothing for the lighting and composition. The reflections from the windscreen are distracting, too. That said, one or two have come out surprisingly well and give you a hint of just how beautiful that part of the world is.

I haven't got around to downloading and sorting the pictures from my camera, yet, that I took during my week away. I have, however, just downloaded two from my Razr V3. I continue to be impressed by the quality that you can get from a phone camera these days!


This is sunset over Cardigan Bay on the evening of 3 September. I suspect that a higher resolution camera would have made it look somewhat less like a nuclear bomb going off, but I like it. I think I have some better photos from later nights on my Sony Cybershot. I'll look them out and see.


Here we see my Dear Old Mum holding the grinning cat doorstop I found for Furtle in the mill crafts shop at Dinas Mawddwy, where we stopped off on the way there and back for a cup of tea. You just can't help but grin back.

Everything you (never) wanted to know about Dinas Mawddwy!
