F16, ISO 160 for 220 seconds. B&W "10 stopper".
I call this one busy for obvious reasons - I'm still not sure I really like this shot as it was (and I was warned) that this location in the Brecon Beacons had a lot to choose from.

The reason why I love my Canon 100mm Macro F2.8L so much. This leaf was on the bank right where I decided to have a spectacular and painful fall which is unlike me. I decided to come back to this later if it was still there after doing some of the falls.
This was also a three exposure HDR processed in Photomatix.
The droplets I focused on the left magnified the leaf pattern and due to the lack of wind and movement, stayed in perfect place.

Hour early for sunrise mean't sitting in the car, drinking coffee while wondering why some guy was sat with his torch on up the bank in the dark and his wife sat in the car.
Turns out talking to him later that was the "best light" of the morning, not sure he understood the concept of "Blue Hour" or sunrise. Some people!!
Pontsticill Reservoir or Taf Fechan Reservoir is a large reservoir on the Taf Fechan lying partly in the county of Powys and partly within the county borough of Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales. It lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park and Fforest Fawr Geopark.
The 110 ft high embankment has, since its completion in 1927, been holding back 3400 million gallons of water for supply to industry and population to the south. The modern reservoir incorporates the earlier Pentwyn Reservoir (sometimes referred to as Dol-y-gaer Reservoir or Lake) which suffered major water losses after completion due to the presence of major fractures in the bedrock beneath its dam relating to the Neath Disturbance, a major geological fault which runs northeast to southwest through the area.
The reservoir is popular with sailors, anglers and picnickers. The Taff Trail has been developed for walkers and cyclists and runs through the woods on the western side of the Reservoir. Merthyr Tydfil sailing club is based on the eastern bank and the Brecon Mountain Railway which runs up its eastern side from Pant Station to Dolygaer with plans to extend its run to Torpantau. This steam railway runs on the route of the former Brecon and Merthyr Railway.
Most of the banks of the reservoir have been heavily afforested by Welsh Water though management of these woods is undertaken by the Forestry Commission on behalf of the company.

Another one but a further slippery climb up to the busiest part of these falls.
A slight treatment with a warming filter although a lot of the warm tones were already seen through the photo.
F16 ISO 200 - 175 seconds. "B&W 10 Stopper".
