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.

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

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
Shutter speed 1/15 s
Incidentally, if you're wondering if there's anything special about 1/15 s, well it's the longest exposure I could get with the juddering of my hand held camera became too noticeable..

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
Intermediate shutter speed: 1/30 s
Slow shutter speed: 1/15 s

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.
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.

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.

We recently visited the #NationalPark in #Wales which used to be called the #BreconBeacons but is now known as #BannauBrycheiniog. I practised pronouncing it a few times and it's actually quite easy and roles off the back of the throat without a problem for someone who speaks Urdu. There was lots of walking to be done and on the morning of the first day, we went to the #waterfalls at #Pontneddfechan. The return trip was about 10.5 km long. It was a nice way to whet the appetite for hiking in this picturesque part of the country.
The river is called #NeddFechan and over that stretch falls about 200 m in total. This #photograph gives you a good flavour of the scenery.

This cropped image is not at full resolution as that would be bigger than my screen but it's nice to get a sharp image of the subject.
Moments later it flew onto another plant and I got this nice shot of it. Once again, the image is cropped.
