I usually like using my paper maps and #DeadReckoning to #navigate my way around a new place but I forgot to bring my compass on this occasion and so I had to revert to #GPS (don’t tell anyone else) in order to find #SugarLoaf near #Abergavenny. I couldn’t see much else but at least our #hike was 12 km and so it was still worth it.

The second full day of our visit to #BannauBrycheiniog was devoted to visiting #PenYFan, the tallest #peak in south #Wales. This was a very nice #walk of 15 km with some steep ascents and descents but no climbing.
Starting from the car park, a path started to climb gently upwards. You can see Pen Y Fan on the horizon near the centre of the image.

In the afternoon of the first full day in #BannauBrycheiniog, we travelled to #Crickhowell or #Crughywel to climb #TableMountain, which is also the location of an #IronAge #fort. So, equipped with my #OrdnanceSurveyMap we made steady progress up the slopes, on #roads and then #footpaths, often across #farmland. The total walk was 12.5 km.
Approaching the summit, you can see that the area is covered with #ferns.

Finally for #Pontneddferchan and apropos nothing in particular, this fallen #tree #trunk across the #footpath just seemed interesting to look at with its jagged surface, fibrous structure and colour contrasting with verdant surroundings.

Here you can see that the layers of rock are slanted by #GeologicalForces.

The #erosion of #rocks around #Pontneddfechan shows #sedimentary #layers as well as fracturing by hydraulic action.
Here, for example, is an exposed cliff with jagged, cuboid forms left my the erosion process. It reminds me of the #VideoGame #Qbert.

Finally on the theme of #flow, I photographed the #waterfall #SgwdGwladus from the other bank and was able to get much closer to it and so I used the same method to give different impressions of gushing or a freeze frame.
Shutter speed: 1/80 s

I’m sure proper amateur and professional photographers have a proper formula or at least a rule of thumb to follow to get good results with #FlowingWater but I used a suck-it-and-see approach and shot the same scene at various speeds to see which gave the best effect.
Automatic mode speed: 1/200 s

And here is the same in shutter priority mode with a speed of 1/15 s, which makes the water look that much more dynamic.

Looking at the way photographers photograph moving water is quite interesting. In order to give the impression of rapid, gushing motion, the exposure should be longer and so, rather than photographing in #AutomaticMode, it is better to use #ShutterPriority and adjust #ShutterSpeed to achieve the desired effect.
Here the shutter speed in automatic mode is 1/100 s.

By global standards, the #waterfalls near #Pontneddfechan are not huge but I still think they’re impressive. Here is the largest one which is perhaps 15 m high. The recent rains meant that there was a good volume of flow on that day. This one is called #SgwdGwladus. I like the #mist rising from the #spray in this scene.

I had a bit of a #hike the other day, ended up at this spot, by the side of Llyn y Fan Fawr looking towards Fan Brycheiniog,

A #DailyPhoto from 2006 for #ThrowbackThursday. One of my favourite spots in #BannauBrycheiniog, especially as a kid when it was great for cooling off on a hot summer's day. Unfortunately last time I drove past, all the surrounding forestry had been felled, leaving it a lot less picturesque, at least in the short term
