This image, taken in January 2009, proves that you don’t need an SLR to take good photos. Sometimes it helps, though!
A ruined bothy (or bwthyn) stands on the side of Cwm Cynfal, near Ffestiniog in North Wales. This is a remote and beautiful spot: on a fine day, you can see right across to the Llyn Peninsula, and down towards Arenig Fawr and Cadair Idris in the south. There used to be a few red grouse up there on the moors, as well as hen harriers and merlins.

I love the lighting effects you get in winter, that orangey yellow pinkish glow in the foreground is gorgeous.
Jo Woolf
It was lovely lighting, which didn’t last for long before the sun sank on another freezing cold evening. The sunsets were spectacular that winter.

Lumix DMC-TZ5 is at least 3 times better than my camera…
Beautiful colours!
Jo Woolf
Thank you, Cornel! The Lumix is a good little camera but it has its limitations. I still have no idea how you get the results that you do, with your own compact!

Sometimes, when you have no choice, you must find a way to do something great with your limited resources.
Jo Woolf
That’s very true, Cornel, that’s when the inspiration comes in!

A gorgeous photo indeed!

Thank you very much! I was pleased with that one.
