Caernarfon Magnets

Cannot seem to find any data online on this so I will have to surmise that this skeleton of an 'old ship' must come from times when shipbuilding was prevalent in Caernarfon and from times of the 19th century. Nothing seems to have been documented ~ and so, I can say that this 'shipwreck' sits across the river seiont at mean tide or water and is a good harbour for wildlife - such as seabirds, such as the cormorant, egret and grey heron... I often spot wildlife on this wreck with binoculars from my home, but I wanted to document - just the wreck in its environment ~ for posterity!

A long exposure in bulb mode was used to create this mirror like seascape image of the Caernarfon Castle using IRND neutral density filters. Post processed in lightroom.

Colourful umbrellas adorn one of the streets in Caernarfon, as viewed from the castle.

Using filtration technique and long exposure ~ I think I timed this just nicely. Always a wonderful setting... Caernarfon Castle is a spectacle to behold on most good days... and today was superb light ! Unfortunately, the duration of capture... didn't find the swans 'completely crisp' and there's some movement in the picture... but there you are... "You don't always get it all..!!!"

Originality is hard to find these days... Everyone is doing same! I created this in memory and respect of the Moon - which has recently been further investigated for potential habitation and colonisation by China by recently attempting to grow seeds which sprouted within an enclosed capsule on the moon... "Covio waed yr lleuad" ~ or in English, 'Remember the blood of the moon" ~ is a first as a 'conservation extraterrestrial piece' - which reflects on Planet Earth here and the lunar landscape there... and a message for our careful consideration of protecting Planet A AND Planet B... ad infinitum...!!! :-O The blood moon will occur again tonight... So happy snapping ~ and please remember when you look up at the moon... take a secon...

Very lucky to live in a place with such magnificent views of the Caernarfon Castle and to be situated in an area in which I can be having a drink and think about the sunset ~ and watch it unfolding... Sunsets like these are quite common from where I'm situated and if we keep adding nitrous oxide into the atmosphere - they will be sunsets set to be - more often! We must get a handle on things - but for the time-being at least, I've come back to be in Wales and this is my nirvana. Caernarfon, my town, my home. Iechyd dda Gymru..! Good Health Wales..! In times like these - we certainly 'need these well-wishes' :-)

The 13th century medieval fortress of Caernarfon Castle in North Wales

A good friend in Brunei asked me to try capture a shot of Caernarfon Castle in Wales... I think this is it... Wales, where mountains and Castles meet the sea.

Reworking a classic shot of across the Caernarfon Harbour across to the Castle...

The sea and the sun were just so smouldery tonight that at last light I just felt like I had to get out there and be creative... so this is the product of my evening...

Did your Children enjoy the Winter fireworks this year... Why not give them 'something different' in their Xmas stocking this year...? At very reasonable prices, here's *spiral notebooks for school*, a *new phone case*, or even a *new pillow* or *tote bag*... *Make your Christmas sparkle!!!* ;-) *Greetings cards there too!*

Artistic representation of 'The Pastel Castle' signed by Nick Coburn Phillips

After some consideration I've decided to include this in my RB portfolio... Understanding technologies well and what cameras and ancillary equipment should be able to do - I decided to take this image with a good quality lens and full frame format camera but using a cheap variable graduated filter from ebay. I've included it as I will make the comparison when I have further funds to be able to purchase same filter but by a reputable brand. Further to this it would be interesting to see how improvements could be made with advancements in processor technology of further models within the brand of camera I use and full frame format Pentax... but I will have to win the lottery to consider this! o.O :D Alternatively - make a sale on...

During the balmy May weather I spend a few late evenings down by the old slate quay looking out across the estuary for the right time to take a colourful water and colour reflection shot... I used vintage glass shot wide open at f/2.0 producing quite a narrow depth of field but maximum light through aperture and with full frame camera focus peaking and focus magnifier to focus as best as can for the Jupiter lens I was using at such shallow depth of field... In doing so producing a softer more subtle - less stark effect to this silhouette of the Caernarfon Castle and surrounding boats... I imagine this framed on archival type watercolour paper for best effect... Something I will endeavour to do over time for my home... :-)

In support of the national health service NHS and the good work they do, a set up of colourful lights representing the rainbow of support which means that 'everyone is equal - and deserves to be treated with compassion and respect' was displayed against the Caernarfon Castle... At sunset, late in the evening - I took this capture.

Caernarfon castle lit up at night. North Wales, UK.

The Black Boy Inn (or just Black Boy) in the Royal Town of Caernarfon in Gwynedd, Wales is a hotel and public house which is thought to date back to 1522, making it one of the oldest surviving inns in North Wales. It is within the medieval walls of Caernarfon, a few hundred yards from Caernarfon Castle.

Living in this area - I have been passing this spot for many years now walking my dog or going for a walk along the quay a very quaint sight notorious and renown for harbour views across to the Caernarfon Castle... I've taken images of it with my smartphone and modern lenses, but nothing really quite cut the mustard for me... and I was after something a little bit different - not out of the ordinary completely but something a little more fitting... I decided upon a 1950's Soviet Union lens - the Jupiter 85mm F2 for this image - it was a bit tighter than I imagined but then it held in the subject matter quite nicely, much better than a 35 or even a nifty 50 I toyed and toiled with filters and after taking some 21 images opted for t...
