Well I was up again at silly o'clock to get some nice pics. I was impressed as the temp was 19c at 0530 this morning, and I was in my shorts!

Anyway, I digress. I had recently posted a pic of Alwen lake in North Wales from the view point on the dam, so I decided to venture a little further and shoot back at the Dam at sunrise. I also tried to use the reflections to my advantage too.

I had a play with HDR aswell.:)

thoughts please

Cheers in advance

Don

I really like both of them but number one draws me in very much. It is calming. In number 2 you have something funky going on in the clouds just above the tower. It is probably from the HDR automation, as it has happened to me in the past.

Those are both terrific shots. Either one should be hanging on your wall.
