WHERE in the name of insanity is that? * drools excessively*
A place called Pistyll Rhaeadr my dear!
- Nice name eh?
- It is the Highest Waterfall in Welsh Wales
- Just off the B4391 between Welshpool and Y Bala,
so not so far from you eh?
- A very beautiful place and one I would thoroughly recommend
to photographers and lovers of nature both.
- As you can probably imagine it is best visited
after some heavy rainfall,
but remember to be there by 11am at the latest,
because of the topography the waterfall will be in shadow otherwise!
- There is a cafe/B&B at the bottom to visit too,
so an exceptional place for sure
- We are lucky our Welsh neighbours share it with us,
so RESPECT to them and their beautiful country eh?
Waterfalls are a Natural Miracle!
- As well as being very beautiful,
the sound is wonderful and they are very healthy too,
with a very high concentration of Negative Ions.
I was very pleased with this picture
and obviously have many others too,
in higher definition ...
This was taken with a digital compact Panasonic DMC LX2
that I am very proud of…
However even with this dinky little baby (that shoots RAW too)
with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 28mm equivalent lens,
it is still difficult to squeeze the top and bottom of the ‘fall
into the composition.
It is rated at 10 Mega Pixel 4,224 x 2,376 or vice versa in this case!
For the technically minded,
the Tv (Shutter Speed) was 1/15th sec,
and the Av (Aperture Value) was f8 at ISO 100.
Oh yes, I used a tripod too of course!
I also took some with my Canon EOS 400D (with a 17-35mm lens) too, but the ones from the Panasonic are perhaps better? ...
If any Heartlanders make it there with their cameras,
I hope they will post a record of their visit too?
Don't let me down eh?
Oh, whilst I’m in ‘full flow’ you might like some directions?
The Spot Heights and Contours are in Metres
for those who are interested …
