Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall

I couple of weeks ago I visited Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall in Powys in Wales. It was a great morning out and I really enjoyed the new challenge of photographing a waterfall.

At 240 ft (74 metres) tall, it's the highest waterfall in Wales & England. Here are some photos I took whilst at the waterfall. Although it is the highest waterfall in Wales and England I decided to focus just on the pools at the base of the waterfall as they gave me something to focus on, on such tall waterfall.


A portrait photo of the Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall. In this photo I cropped it, boosted the contrast, adjusted the hue and saturation to bring out the greens and yellows and sharpened it a little to bring out the detail on the rocks.


Another portrait photo of the Pistyll Rhaeadr Watrerfall. Again I cropped it increased the contrast a bit, adjusted the hue and saturation to bring out the greens + yellows and sharpened it to bring out the detail on the rocks.

So what do you think? Have you ever visited Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall?

If you could photograph any past event in history what event would it be?

Over the last week I asked the following question at a few places around the web 'If you could photograph any past event in history what event would it be?' I was overwhelmed with the number of responses I got and the quality of the them.

Here are a few I would love to share with you:

Man discovering fire. I'd love to see the expression on their faces!

It would be Dinosaurs...to see if they really do wear underpants like my daughter keeps telling me.

Nero playing the violin with Rome burning in the background.

Drake beating the Spanish Armada.

The sinking of the Titanic.

The birth of Jesus.

Construction of the pyramids... I'm a sucker for anything involving ancient Egypt.

The Big Bang!

The boston tea party

The parting of the Red Sea, at sunset of course.


So I will finish off by asking you 'If you could photograph any past event in history what event would it be?'
