The Bwlch. On the borders of Bridgend/Neath/RCT
I was on my way to a Ko Dan Ja (martial arts training camp) where I was due set to document the day with my camera (shot approx 2k of images) and stopped off at this popular viewing spot first thing.
[this is a shot straight out of my camera]
It was bitterly cold so I had hoped it would still look this snowy later as I didn’t have time to get my drone up. Return journey (some 10hrs later) saw me grab this 360 …
As you can see ‘dim snowio’ as we’d say in Wenglish.

A stormy day spent at Deal in Kent earlier in the week, all taken with a DJI Mini 2.
The Castle is well maintained and has an interesting shape built for Henry VIII.
Two photographs stitched together to get the full shape within 120m.
The Pier is also relatively new (November 1957) which has a great glass sided cafe at the end.
This is a 3 photo pano merge covering the fishing boats along the beach btween the two.

Thanks’s Daz
Compliment appreciated, thing is Darren ( for myself at least ) everyday is still a learning day, some days I go out & forget what settings is what or was best for certain shots ( many say leave it in auto ) but manual is there for a reason ( camera settings ) & is better to fine tune things imo, but sometimes then I’m disappointed with what I go home with & sometimes editing don’t always solve the problem, I also forget what worked best for me previously, I know there’s a lot of factors that play a big part in all of it so “yes” not always good is to be expected,
Where I’ve not been out much yet this year like many of us probably things have been a bit of a hit & miss but I guess trying to get back out there as & when or as much as I can, in the hope I pick the knack up again which is the best advice I can give to you for yourself, is when you can get out to fly is just shoot shoot shoot & practice it will pay off eventually, I’ve always said to myself ( if can at least go home with one good picture I’m happy ) & that is always my goal as the way I see it is one good picture is better than ten not so good,
Just a quick one, I drove 20 odd miles today which isn’t that bad tbh but I’m really not happy with my pictures so I’ll just bin them 
is what it is, keep it up tho mate 
, also sorry for talking on the photo thread was just a bit of friendly still learning myself advice

Rich I have been into photography for over 30 years and used to have my own darkroom, I have taken, developed, and printed many, many thousands of pictures. I have learned that it doesn’t really matter how technically proficient you are ( i have read hundreds of books) you need a good eye for a good subject and know how to capture it, thats down to artistry. A very, very hard thing to learn if you are not born with it. Anyone can learn how to drive a camera, it’s all there in the manual. Seeing a scene, visualising it, and then making other people see what you see is the key that eludes many a photographer, including me. Sometimes I get it right, most times I don’t. But I have come to realise that I just enjoy the act of taking a photo, I don’t care too much nowadays if my hit rate isn’t what it should be after 30 years, I just love doing it. But more importantly, I love seeing how much and how fast other people can progress, and you’re in that wee folder
Someone want to get us a room?
