Sgwd Gwladys (pronounced “Sgood Goo-LAD-us”, meaning “the Lady Falls”), found on the Elidir Trail in the Waterfall Country of the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales.
A modern reworking of a series of photos I shot on our South Wales holiday, autumn 2018. A lot has change since then, in terms of my eye, my taste, and my vision, so I figured I’d do justice to these photos that I probably overworked first time round.
All shot on my main camera at the time, a Sigma dp0 Quattro with a built-in 14mm f/4.0. Editing and colour grading all manually done by myself.
Sgwd Clun-Gwyn (“SGOOD clun-goo-in”, meaning “Falls of the White Meadow”), found on the Four Falls Trail. Just an epic sight.
Sgwd y Pannwr (“SGOOD ee pann-ooer”, meaning “Falls of the Fuller”), which we were able to get right next to after a particularly gruelling hike down the ravine. The roar and sheer power of the water…
An unnamed waterfall on the Elidir Trail towards Sgwd Gwladys, with a glittering of autumn colours dashed around the scene.
A series of cascades tumbling toward Pontneddfechan, with stronger afternoon light pouring through the canopy of the forest ravine.
An overcast long exposure at Llyn y Fan Fach with two of the sloping peaks of the Carmarthen Fans.
A composition towards Llyn y Fan Fach’s west end, showing the sheer wall of the Carmarthen Fans.
Heading back down from Llyn y Fan Fach, the various tributaries that run of the Carmarthen Fans stream together into this little pool, which I stopped by for a long exposure composition.
