Elan Valley Reservoir

Yesterday I went to Wales for the day and drive through Elan Valley, where were greeted by the sight of the reservoirs massively over flowing from all the heavy rain and the thaw of the snow the other day!

I wish I could have captured all of the energy that was going on as the noise and the spray was incredible!

I'm loving that, running water is the best thing EVER

That first shot is rather special isn't it. Great choice of height and angle. It really captures the drama.

Bloody hell, that's impressive!

Love the moody B&W shot, with the mist/cloud and the lovely lines of the mountains and foreground - champion!

Cheers guys it was quite a sight, would love to have gotten there a bit earlier with a tridpod as with the light as it was I rekon I may have been able to get a decent long exposure of it!

I found a video of it from earlier in the month on the tube of you.
