July Photo comepetition - "I could have been watching strictly..." - Page 2 - SV650.org

Not only could I have been watching Strictly, I could've been watching the World Cup Final.... but I'm no football fan, not even passing interest.

Instead I drove out to Llangollen to get a shot of Dinas Bran sunset at "golden hour" parked up at the base and began my walk only to recall I'd left BOTH my freshly charged camera batteries at home!

Internally incandescent with rage I drove back, realised it was futile to try and return before the sun set so decided to try out some light painting in a previously visited site:

I spent 2 hours on site dashing around in the dark alone with various lights and torches

Working solo I was limited to 30 second exposures but got my pacing, plan and execution just right in the end.

Full disclosure:
Two exposures merged in photoshop and then lightroomed up the wazoo!

I could have been watching Strictly but instead I made my way to a local hill to watch the airshow in the sunshine, Here's a Typhoon going straight up. Tad noisy I might add.

Loads more pics <here> if you like this sort of thing.

I could have been watching strictly ..... if it was on a screen attached to the ceiling!

Monochromed and edge defocus.

I could have been watching Strictly, but I'd rather hike up Whitbarrow and photograph the wind blasted trees...

Seems it only rains here on the weekends, so instead of lying on the couch watching the telly as I've done all month,
I decided to ride to the mountains, rain or not.

And despite the forecast and threatening skies I managed to stay dry all day.

Riding my bike over roads like this in the Lake District...
Hardknott Pass to Wrynos Pass.

Shawthing takes my vote for this month, love the monochromed simplicity with all the elements to convey what's going on. Nicely done!

Ch00 and Sir_trev taking podium places.

Special mention goes to CharleyFarley for the biggest achievement though, pretty epic Sir!

Sir Trev for me.
