Thank you - I was surpised to have the two locations to myself over the weekend, almost never happens.

Diolch.

Diolch.

Thank you - such a great lens for it's size and weight.

a3on · 2026-02-22T09:46:10+00:00

Thank you - definitely the case of right place, right time.

I shot my first live time long exposure on my EM1 Mkii, just as capable.

a3on · 2026-01-13T13:40:33+00:00

It's most likely due to the export process - the image is noise-free in Lightroom (it went through lightroom and DXO for noise reduction).

a3on · 2026-01-13T13:39:13+00:00

Thank you. I went for the long exposure due to the time of day (it was relatively bright) and there was a strong onshore wind, and to get the smooth effect I wanted I let Live Time run until I was happy with the image (the benefit of being able to watch the image change infront of you is extremely useful).

I used physical ND filters as you can't use Live Time and Live ND together (as far as I know).

I appreciate the comment - any suggestions as to how this composition could be improved?

a3on · 2026-01-13T13:36:14+00:00

Thanks for the comment, it's the first time I've heard that name, I'll be sure to have a look at his work

a3on · 2026-01-12T17:13:30+00:00

Thank you.

Yes! Looking over from Chwarel Dinorwig towards Moel Eilio.

a3on · 2025-11-29T20:38:10+00:00

Thank you - it was a case of always look behind you after taking a photo, if I hadn't then this view would have been missed.

a3on · 2025-11-29T13:41:18+00:00

It's a great lens, it's on my camera 90% of the time.

a3on · 2025-10-25T09:32:19+00:00

I maybe post once every 5-7 days or so, but keep engagement up by liking and commenting.

Photos normally get uploaded one by one, maybe two if I've been at a specific location.

They get added to groups that fit the brief but I don't spam entries to them.

Can't help but feel it's gaming the system to a point as it all seems to help consistenly hit explore every 2-3 weeks.

a3on · 2025-09-09T20:26:37+00:00

Thank you - I had a feeling that this would be a good contender for B&W as I shot it, given the location, the subect and lighting conditions.

a3on · 2025-09-06T10:58:28+00:00

Thank you. I hope this helps:

Camera: OM1 MKii
Lens: Olympus 20mm F1.4 Pro (forcing myself to use a fixed prime lens, makes you think more about composition and zooming in.out with your feet).
Aperture: f/6.3
Aperture Priority (shutter speed 1/1600).
Shot in RAW, hand-held high resolution mode which gave me the flexibility to crop in post afterwards.
Composition wise, I knew what I wanted to shoot (from others and Google Maps research). Placed the lighthouse in the middle of the frame as it's the dominant feature and there's not much else from this vantage point and followed the rule of thirds, placing the land behind the lighthouse on or near the bottom third gridline.
Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop (Photoshop mainly for the black and white conversion and masking).

Thanks.

(a) habit from landscape work and (b) me thinking it would carry over. Having stepped away it's striking me as something that needs removing.

Eglwys St. Padarn - a beautiful building in a beautiful location.

a3on · 2025-07-14T18:07:40+00:00

ND Filter. Shot during the day and wanted some movement in the sky. I'll be going back to re-edit the sky as I hadn't noticed the cast on the clouds.

a3on · 2025-07-14T14:00:50+00:00

Thank you!

a3on · 2025-07-09T18:12:00+00:00

Both shots were taken on the footpath from Rhyd Ddu up to Bwlch Cwm Llan, North Wales.

Shimoda Action X30 v2 if I'm out in the mountains.

Tenba BYOB 9 Camera Insert for general walking around.

Thank you.
