Underwater Photography around Snowdonia; August '22


The nice summer led to a chance to get some more underwater pictures; basically we've been toying with the idea of getting a kit to convert one of our old SLR's, and wanted to have a fresh play using our old underwater-compact to get our heads back in the game, as it were.


The first lot were taken at Aberystwyth, whilst on a day out.


In the end, being as we didn't have the right clothes with us for going in the sea, we settled for some shots in among the shingle.



Rather better was one of our regular haunts, Llanbedrog.  Here the sea is ridiculously shallow (seriously, you can walk about half a mile before it goes above your waist).




The end of the week saw us out in the Glaslyn Pass for a walk and some pics, with the gin-clear waters of the river being too tempting to pass up.


Our humble underwater camera; it's probably 8-10 years old at this point, but still does the job.



Amy's had some success in exhibitions before with these sorts of shots, and it was nice to be able to lay in some new pics for her collection.






A good few days worth of photographs, and a good job we did as well; by the time we went back to Wales in the Autumn the rivers and seas were somewhat rougher, carrying more water, and it's frankly less appealing going for a paddle in November than it is during a hot August...
