This is by way of being part two of a trip to North Wales.
I have reworked one image into mono it will be interesting to see your reactions. Also some more images.
I thought one or two of you might be interested in the locations we stopped at to do our photography. Basicaly we drove round the coast.
We went over the Manai Bridge and stopped off at Beaumaris, Red Wharf bay, and on to Amlwch great little cafe there some of us stopped for lunch both Saturday and Sunday. This is the area of the copper mine. We went into Hollyhead but didn't explore it, we had ideas for industrial type shots but didn't follow it through.
We came down to Newborough were some of the beach shots were made.
A funny incident, I was following one of the cars with 4 others from the club and they pulled over to the side to take pictures of some wind turbines in the field which was also full of sheep. Well when we got out of the cars dozens of sheep came racing over making lots of sheep noises, they would have trampled us over but for the gate. When the cameras were brought out they almost immediately drifted away again. Almost as if to say, not another load of photographers. They obviously thought they were going to be fed.
Well Part three another day.

Lovely series Patrick. The last one - b&w log i my favourite, I think the tones and atmosphere are spot on. The sand ripples is interesting. The rocks baffle me, I wonder if you had got more of the land and less rocks it would improve this? The beach shot is a bit too dark for me, maybe increase the shadows? The field shot is surreal.Posted 23-03-09 at 02:46 AM by
