Hide and Seek

[nynfortoo]

Took a trip up to Dinas Bran, near Llangollen, North Wales with an old friend on Saturday. Bit of a trek up to the ruins atop the hill, but lovely peaceful at the top; a nice change of pace from the bustling biker-heavy village.

Sat at the top and scouted around for some nice shots, though I didn't want to take too long because my friend has no interest in photography. There were a couple of young girls playing Hide and Seek with their parents, and fortunately, they wandered into my shot. I waited for them to crawl to where I considered would be the strongest composition, and snapped away.

10-22mm lens at 10mm. F/6.3. 1/400s. ISO 100. No filters this time.

Tell me what you think. And if you don't like anything, don't hold back; I value any comments.

Cheers.

Nice!

Nice!

Cheers mate. That's the shortest post I've ever seen you do — you usually do lengthy critiques. Should I take that as a good sign?

This is great! The fact that that you can see soo far out adds so much to the photo. Awesome job!

Thanks a lot

I was quite fortunate in that respect, really. Shortly beforehand, the distant mountains were covered in haze and the sky was almost a blanket of cloud. It really cleared up.

I'd like to go back later/earlier in the day for the lower sun; there are some more really cool broken arches that'd really suit the moodier light.
