Well this is the thing, I deliberately went on this particular trip without my Sony a7ii; I wanted to see what my new phone was capable of. Quite freeing in a way, certainly in terms of weight and not having to change lenses.

Thanks! No focus stacking, this is from a RAW file shot on a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Nowt creepy, just the most Silent Hill photo you’ll see today.

Tune in for more.

Nope.

Thanks!

Not AI generated at all, no. Would you like to see a screenshot of the original RAW file?

Ta very much!

Thank you! Here’s a rough guide to pronouncing these place names:

Ynys Lochtyn = “UNus LOKH-tun” Llangrannog = “shan-GRAN-og”

The double-l “ll” letter in Welsh is pronounced like a “sh” sound, but harsher and further back in the mouth.

Similarly, the “ch” letter is similar to the Scottish Gaelic “ch” sound they use for words like “loch”.

Thank you! I think about colour palettes and colour contrast a lot.

Thanks!

This might give you a better idea of pronunciation.

I’ll happily take that, ta very much!

You’re very welcome.

Thanks!

That’s very nice of you to say! Ta very much!

A large part of the Yorkshire Dales is comprised of limestone. Limestone kinda dissolves a bit in water and acid rain, so when the water runs through the cracks and joints in the limestone, it can create cool slabs called “clints” separated by deep fissures known as “grikes” or “grykes”.

You’re exactly. Sunlight was scanning across the moorland, so I had to be quick.

Thanks! This is a single exposure from a 210mm zoomed in composition. I saw the band of light hitting the distant house and moorland, with the Storr in deep shadow due to the storm above, so nabbed it quick as I could.

Thanks very much! Those cliffs are something else.

Yes indeed!
