Landscape Photography Guide to Snowdonia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], North Wales - Capel Curing to Llanberis
The route along the A4086, particularly between the two villages of Capel Curig and Llanberis has an plenty of opportunities for the landscape photographer, it is also the route most 1st time guests to Snowdonia take as it passes via some stunning scenery. Capel Curig, among on all sides by impressive scenery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is a popular place from which to climb the many mountains in the area and provides an excellent base if wishing to spend some time discovering the mountain summits. The Afon Llugwy river also escapes scampers through the hub, providing the spectacle of the Pont Cyfyng falls, particularly photogenic after a period of rainfall.
On leaving Capel Curing through the A4086 towards Llanberis, the ravine widens and the lakes of “Llynnau Mymbyr” emerge in outlook surrounded on one side along the unique Moel Siabod and the Glyderau mountains aboard the additional. More distant can be penetrated the highest mountain in Wales, Snowdon. These lakes provide a nice subject,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially with the nigh mountain backdrop and a short walk ambition produce several advantage points. Moel Siabod also provides the faultless vantage point, both as an aerial shot of the impressive ravine or more probable the unbroken view across to Snowdon. It’s too a relatively gentle mountain apt ascend so requires a mini less stamina than most in the area.
Continuing along the A4080, passing the lakes of Llynnau Mymbyr, several relinquished barns are lightly located and with a little effort can build a very effective foreground to the distant Snowdon. The Glyderau mountain scope towers on the road all the way to the junction of the A498 and the A4086, the start of the ‘not-to-be-missed’ Llanberis Pass. Parking approximate the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], allows way to several hiking routes which climb the Glyderau – in my view the most distinct and feature wealthy mountains around Snowdonia – don’t miss the rock formations of Yr Wyddfa and Castell y Gwynt on Glyder Fach, essential photography subjects. One word of advising though,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this area is exceedingly engaged during [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] holidays so to capture a landscape shot devoid of human requires a very early start, or winter is many quieter and the climate often more conducive to photography.
Immediately after the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel turn right onto the Llanberis pass. This climbs steeply and approaches the carpark & Youth Hostel by Pen-y-Pass, the most fashionable starting location for those climbing Snowdon. For the photographer looking fjust aboutme impressive aerial photographs, Snowdon will surely not dissatisfy. From Pen-Y-Pass the "Pyg Track", namely the route to take, after a short distance the view to Llanberis and its lakes appears, an impressive sight and worthy of a photograph. Also from here mountain streams start to trip down the mountain side, great foreground interest. The routes here provide numerous photographic opportunties,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too numerous to depict tham entire. Most notable whatsoever, are Grib Coch, an ominous seeing ridge only to be crossed by experienced hikers. There are two particularly photogenic lakes well under the mountain path, Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn – a wide angle lens is required to do them righteousness. The mountain views to Lliwedd, Crib Y Ddysgl and Snowdon itself are always impressive. For the vigorous photographer who continues to the summit, whilst the view is impressive, individually I don’t trust it’s approximately as photogenic as those accessible during the climb. One famous summit trait is the distinctive train that, except for the winter months, brings hundreds of passengers to the top of Snowdon – forget any thought of mountain solitude, this is a difficult summit from which to capture a “person free” shot. The train itself makes an interesting photographic subject as it winds its way up the steep alley from llanberis. It also provides distinct adoption for those photographers no too acute on hiking to the top of a mountain.
Back at the Pen-Y-Pass Youth Hostel an eminent vantage point of both Snowdon and the Llanberis Pass itself can be captured with minimum exertion. Take the path which climbs the mountain side instantly at the side of the Youth Hostel, heading up the Glyderau mountains. Within a very short distance and minimal climbing the impressive views of Snowdon, Crib Goch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Crib y Ddysgl and down the Llanberis Pass itself are seen. This attitude is a many easier option than the “Pyg Track” and still provides some awarding photography.
Back on the A4086, the road drops dramatically down the boulder strewn Llanberis Pass towards the countryside of Nant Peris,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], passing according the path a catena of cascades and mountain streams, each increasing in drama and photogenic qualities following cumbersome rainfall. Nant Peris itself provides an chance for a walkabout with the camera, there are also hiking paths up either side of the pass, towards either Snowdon or the Glyderau mountains. Once afresh as the elevation boosts so does the mountain panorama that can be capture.
Continuing from Nant Peris towards Llanberis be detailed not to miss a invisible gem, Dolbadarn Castle. It’s perched imposingly aside the entrance to Llanberis yet is secluded from view on approximate. Fortunately signposts disclose its hiding place. The small climb to the palace produces a surprisingly impressive panorama of the Llanberis Pass, Snowdon and the Glyderau. The palace itself, relatively nameless amongst Welsh castles, is a great subject – a “must visit” on my photography list. The lake of Llyn Padarn can be seen from the castle, attach with the many slate quarry workings spread around the Llanberis mountainsides. Llanberis itself was built around the Slate mining industry and retains many of the scars, however these really add to the photogenic qualities of this interesting place, as does Llyn Padarn. Llanberis is also the found for the Snowdon Mountain Railway, a “must see” for train enthusiasts. It’s worthwhile having a promenade around the village, streams and waterfalls can be base among a short distance, Llyn Padarn is particularly photogenic. Another series of hiking routes onto the surrounding mountains quit from here too, the most popular being the Llanberis Path which follows the route of the railroad to the top of Snowdon.
If I were only to have a short period in this area and had to prefer my favourite places for the most pregnant photography I would elect Pen-Y-Pass and walk a short distance along both the “Pyg Track” and the route opposite, alongside the Youth Hostel – both produce impressive viewpoints. The other highlight for me is Dolbadarn Castle, infrequently photographed, which comes as a great surprise to me considering its excellent position and exterior.
