Tu Hwnt i'r Bont
Autumn is still one of my favourite seasons with its vivid colours which seem to change day by day. This image I took a few years ago in the North Walesvillage town of Llanrwst one morning in late September captures one of those changing moments. With the leaves of the ivy going from green to red in a matter of just a week or two it adds a splash of colour to the surrounding hillside.
Unfortunately I missed the change this year, but next year, well that's going to be on my agenda to visit once again!

Before the dawn breaks. Rowing boats sit quietly on Rudyard Lake waiting for the stream of tourists to arrive.
Situated less than 3 miles outside Leek down the aptly named Rudyard Road lies a hidden gem in the Staffordshire countryside. Rudyard Lake is a reservoir for the local Caldon and Trent & Mersey canals and offers a haven of peace and tranquillity which has resulted in its being described as one of the most romantic spots in the UK.
If you think that the name Rudyard sounds familiar it could be because a certain John Lockwood Kipling and Alice Macdonald, parents of Rudyard Kipling, met here and liked the place so much they named their son after it. Rudyard Kipling of course became known for his many literary works which included 'Jungle Book' and 'Puck of Pucks Hill'.
The Long Exposure brought up the colours of the Rowing boats and allowed the rich blue and mauve colors of the morning light to fill the scene.

The Ugly House - Tŷ Hyll
Just got back from a delightful week in North Wales, and doing what normal tourists do, we visited some of the local tourist attractions. So a trip to the aptly named Ugly House was one such stop.
The true origins of the Ugly House remain a bit of a mystery, but the legend that I prefer is that of a house which was built in the 15th century by two brothers. Under ancient law, anyone who built a house between sunset and sunrise, with walls, roof and smoking chimney, could claim the freehold as theirs. With the freehold came the surrounding land, the boundary in each direction was dictated by how far you could throw an axe. However, the other more mundane legend is that Ty Hyll was built in the mid-nineteenth century as a picturesque cottage that would appeal to the growing tourist trade. So take your pick, but I will stick with the ‘Ty Un Nos’ - or house built overnight legend.
The Ugly house is now a thriving tea room situated on the road to Betws-y-Coed in North Wales. Who needs a Thatched Cottage when you can have something like this place?

Cold
The past week in the UK has provided some of the first frosts of the winter. Now please don't get me wrong, I like snow, but I dislike the cold without the benefit of the nice white texture of the snow. I must be getting old......
So forgive me whilst I reflect back for a moment to some of the warmth of summer.

Rhos on Sea calling
Well another trip to North Wales is on the horizon. A family time, but with camera at hand! I sure am looking forward to it as well, its been a hard few months and now its time to chill..
I will leave with this image of the harbour at Rhos on Sea, near Conwy on the North Wales coast, typically empty at sunrise, but a pleasure to visit.

River Conwy flowing through the woodland near Penmachno in North Wales Using a longer shutter speed to let the agitated water form a finger pointing into the river bend, I suppose it would also have fitted for #leadinglinesmonday - if it had been Monday of course!

RSPB Conwy
During our recent trip to North Wales we visited the RSPB reserve at Conwy and spent a pleasant hour or so wandering around the site visiting the hides and trying our best to recognise the various species of our feathered friends that visit the site. Set against the backdrop of Snowdonia the site offers some stunning scenery as well a varied collection of wildlife.
Birdsfoot Trefoil which I believe is also known as Birdsfoot Deervetch in America(?) covers the ground at this time of the year displaying a blacket of yellow, almost dominating the scene but still draws you in.

This bunch of trees has fascinated every time I pass them and they stand in a field overlooking Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.

Sunset over Criccieth
I’ve been a bit of an absentee recently from G+ as I have been away on and off for the past few weeks recharging the batteries, and generally chilling out. Cleaned the cobwebs from the old ‘box brownie’ (still got to get rid of the darn sensor dust though) and now looking forward to taking some images for the Scavenger Hunt by the lovely +Chrysta Rae. Kinda miss my hangout buddies too, so going to be jumping in on some of those again in the next day or so.
Anyway, here is an image I took a week or so ago and which is a rather late entry for +26 Snaps for the subject "Light" - I just hope the lovely curator and good friend +suzanne clements forgives my lateness - I owe you a Guinness Suzanne!

Nant Gwrtheyrn quarry
Located in a former quarrying village on the northern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales, Nant Gwrtheyrn is a secluded and once neglected Victorian village. The granite quarry which was first opened in 1851 and finally closed in 1939 at the start of the second world war has recently undergone a large renovation and now provides a thriving visitor attraction as well as a Welsh Language school.

Don't come any closer
This bad boy was watching me stroll closer and closer and eventually his temper got the better of him. He started snorting, stamping and moving towards me, I meanwhile, was stood in the open and wondered why I had left the safety of the trees! I backed away as quick as I could, I still wonder if he would have charged me down?

He started snorting, stamping and moving towards me, I meanwhile, was stood in the open and wondered why I had left the safety of the trees! I backed away as quick as I could, I still wonder if he would have charged me down?
Reflections under the pier
If the local council get their way this view is one which will soon dissapear. The Pier at Colwyn Bay is now derelict and with no obvious plans to restore it to its original glory the sea will no doubt eventually reclaim the land. Such a pity!

The morning begins
I have been fairly quiet these past few weeks, all down to a bout of vertigo! So, as I have been unable to use the camera much without the room spinning (not a drop of alcohol in sight either!) and at the moment not even allowed to drive, I thought I would take the opportunity to post an image from 2009 taken from one of my all time fav locations.
We all have our favorite locations, be it for photography or just admiring the beautiful world around us. This shot was taken from one of my favorite places in Derbyshire and is a typical early morning scene overlooking the slowly wakening Castleton from a Mam Tor vantage point.

Suggested User Lists based on User Interaction?
I really like this table of user interaction developed by +CircleCount “ +Google+ Users with Highly engaging content” http://www.circlecount.com/gb/popularengagement/?minf=10000&maxf=25000000&gender=b
Rather than relying on total number of followers, which is something that has raised quite a few ‘hackles’ and comments over recent months here on G+, this table attempts to break down the relationship between total number of followers and the interaction with said followers. Counting the number of +1’s, comments and re-shares against the number of followers, the table gives a metric of engagement.
Now this is something I can really buy into. Rather than rely on the Suggested User Lists which bears little relationship between how engaging the users posts are on G+, the table attempts to show how engaging the user is on G+.
Is it statistically valid? Depends on your viewpoint of course. If you like someones image but no one else does, then the Engagement % will have little effect on your personal preferences. However, for users new to G+, or indeed for those who would like to find new people to follow, then I would argue that these tables are something with more validity than the current Suggested User Lists. With the introduction of +Google+ Gold Accounts it would appear that you will soon be able to buy your way onto the list. How can that be good for deciding who is more interesting to follow?
Rather than people chasing higher and higher numbers of followers, this CircleCount table might just be the start of a chase for more engagement - hey it is Social Networking after all! +Mike Downes and +Justin Hill did some work recently on the correlation between those with high follower count and their interaction outside of Google+. These lists by CircleCount look at the engagement within +Google+. I would be interested to hear what +Billy Wilson thinks about this approach as I know he, like me, has questioned for some time the validity and ethics behind the generation of the Suggested User Lists by Google.
How to improve the +CircleCount tables?
1) Give me the opportunity to easily add the names to my circles I would like to be able to easily add the top 50 or 100 of my chosen list to my engaging circles. I could then update my circles quite easily by removing all and re-adding the updated lists when I want more engagement.
2) Allow me to break the list down by genre. If I am only interested in Photography I would like to see how I am fairing with my fellow photographers and how engaging I am with those who like what I post.
What are your ideas for improvement?
How valid do you think these statistics are?

Sunrise o'er the hills
The world seems deep in slumber
When the new day begins
But some, for whom the night is day
Toil and dream of their night still to come.
Castleton in the Peak District National Park wakes to a new day.

Winnats Pass
Following a month feeling so under par I didn't have any motivation to get out with the camera, it was good to get up at 05:00 this morning to try and beat the sun appearing over Castleton in Derbyshire. This view overlooking Winnats Pass and Castleton was taken from Rushop Edge and is somewhere I have promised myself to go for a number of years and so this morning was something special for me. I had forgotten how cold it was at that hour of September - Hat and gloves to the fore!

Dreams of England, past and present
At this time of year in most parts of the UK you can see fields upon fields filled with rapeseed in full blossom turning the fields into an intense yellow carpet. Beautiful to the eye, but I can’t help but think it wasn’t that long ago that a lot of these fields were filled with vegetables or had cattle grazing in them. Now, these same fields have been given over to a different crop and in a lot of cases the vegetables and meat are imported. Changing times indeed.
So my floral submission for +Tamara Pruessner this week taken near Knutsford in Cheshire, is also a glimpse into the past, at least my past!

Sharing an album with images in the order you want them to display
Following an earlier post where I showed how to store hashtag and ID links (https://plus.google.com/u/0/117014035284065592442/posts/W7gApvJCmSL)
+Will Pirnasch raised the question
I just did some more testing re. selecting an image as an 'Album Cover' in Picassaweb. It makes that image the Thumbnail Image for the Album. I was hoping ti would make it the BIG one (like we see above) and the others the small ones... so the question remains: Does anyone know how to make 1 image the BIG ONE and the others the smaller ones inside Google+ Albums? (or Picassaweb, or...?)
So here is how I do it:
When sharing an album on G+ Google uses the first image in the album as the album cover and will also display in small thumbnail form the next dozen images or so. Clicking on the main image takes you into the image display on G+ and you then have the left and right links to take you into the next/previous images in the album.
So how do you set the album cover and the dozen small thumbnail images that you wish to appear in your album share post?
Going into the album you want to share (Select Photos in the menu on the left and then Albums) choose the More option on the right and select Organise Album.
Select the image you want as the album cover and drag it to the first position. Continue dragging images into the order you wish and then click Finish Organising.
Selecting Share will now allow you to share the album without G+ creating additional copies of the images. (A current issue for photographers with G+ which will hopefully be resolved one day).
Sharing the album will now allow you to create a new post sharing the album with images in the order you want.
Hope that answers your question +Will Pirnasch
If you would like to see a more detailed instructions with supporting images (I can only show 1 on G+) you can view it over on my blog at: http://www.stevegillphotos.co.uk/2012/04/google-album-share.html

Growing old allows you the opportunity to rethink and re-evaluate yourself and your life.
I am not sure of the source of this next text but I believe it forms part of a 17th Century Nuns Prayer.
I am growing older and will some day be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody: helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but I want a few friends at the end.
Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains. They are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by. I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy the tales of others pains, but help me to endure them with patience.
I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessing cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken.
Keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want to be a Saint – some of them are so hard to live with – but a sour old person is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and talents in unexpected people. And, give me the grace to tell them so.
Lets hope I have the necessary grace when my time comes!

Sacred Mushrooms The Aztecs used to use a certain mushroom for its healing powers and held them in high esteem, almost spiritual!
Before you ask, NO these are not the same hallucinogenic mushrooms used by the Aztecs - at least I don’t think so, and I certainly didn’t try them! These specimens were actually found on a walk in Yorkshire, UK!
Also, whilst I do not follow their belief system, there is also a Church of the Sacred Mushroom. So, this is my submission for the weekly theme #SacredSunday , and as its Monday already in some parts of the world, lets not forget #DOFMonday , #MacroMonday and #NatureMonday .
Now the only thing I like doing with mushrooms is eat them!!! So I can't leave this post without tagging it for #breakfastclub

Part of the sprawling site that once was the Cwmorthin Slate Quarry above Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales provides an opportunity for a long exposure Black and White study. The gathering storm clouds throw a shadow over the landscape where once a thriving community was based with people living, working and often dying on and under these hillsides.

Morning has broken
This shot is dedicated to my wonderful grandson who, on an early morning trip with me one day to catch the sunrise, exclaimed "It looks like the clouds are on fire" - well I suppose they do look like that.

Google+ Hashtag shortcut.
Posting an image and submitting it to some of the themes can be a little tiresome having to manually type both the theme hashtag as well as each of the individual curators. Particularly if you submit to more than one theme. To save time you can store each of the theme titles as a hashtag together with the curators Google+ ID - store it in Google Docs or notepad or elsewhere and simply paste it into each post you need. Once the post is saved G+ will convert the ID into the persons name.
Example for a theme of #hangouttest with myself as the curator you would type:
#hangouttest + 117014035284065592442 (do not use a space between the + and the id number)
This would convert the Google ID number into the relevant Name: #hangouttest +Steve Gill
Enjoy!
A slightly more detailed explanation with an explanatory image can be found over on my blog at:
http://www.stevegillphotos.co.uk/2012/04/another-google-shortcut.html
For example I will use it for some of my favourite themes which have multiple curators such as:
#sacredsunday curated by +Margaret Tompkins +Charles Lupica +Manfred Berndtgen +Bill Wood +Robyn Morrison
#thirstythursday curated by: +Giuseppe Basile +Mark Esguerra

The ring of stones found in Happy Valley overlooking Llandudno in North Wales was the site of the Welsh National Eisteddfod which were held there in 1963. The National Eisteddfod is traditionally held in the first week of August and the competitions are all held in the Welsh language. To signify that the Eisteddfod has been held a circle of stones is created, these stone circles are icons all across Wales and signify the Eisteddfod having visited.
Happy Valley lies on the lower slopes of the Great Orme and looks across the pier to the Little Orme - I love it here!

I met up with +Andy Gray and got the pleasure of seeing him in action, getting down and dirty for his craft as you can see. Thanks for everything Andy.

Canal Life
Smoke from the boat chimney is not the only sign of presence on the boat, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and bacon also fill the air. Mmmmmm. Canal life is a tempting thought on a cold and wet day on this canal near Macclesfield. Not too sure why, and I know canal life is a pretty universal thing, but canal scenes like this always make me think "How terribly British".

Took a trip out to Buttonwood Farm in Griswold, CT to view their many fields of sunflowers. Some really nasty thunderstorms rolled through and I was tempted to pack it in and call it a day. Luckily I stayed, and just after the rain stopped I was able to capture this spectacular view!

At the suggestion of +Ed King I finally got to make a trip out to Sakonnet Point Beach to catch a sunset. Located in Little Compton, Rhode Island this isolated beach has a beautiful vantage point to watch the sun set over Narragansett Bay.My original plan was to shoot the lighthouse, but after exploring the area for a while I ended up returning to this rock formation. I just loved the textures and colors in the rocks, and the way the water curled around them. Hope you enjoy!

Winter draws near
No cloud cover meant that the image I had in mind on my visit to Marbury Country Park near Northwich this weekend will have to wait for another day. However, it did provide a covering of frost on what was a bitterly cold morning, a glimpse of winter to come perhaps?

Fairy Glen
The Fairy Glen at Betws-y-Coed is a magical place - a narrow ravine through which the River Conwy runs. A combination of rapids and cascades on the Conwy river are chanelled into a narrow ravine which results in an impressive and dramatic scene. Wooded banks and rock walls clothed with moss and algae give the ravine an added charm.

A single red flower makes a delightful statement in any garden, inviting you to stop and admire it.
I previously shared this image of a Daylily but didn't like the original crop and also thought it needed a little extra processing, so here is version 2! Hope you enjoy it.

I do not normally like to take images where the perspective is completely skewed as here. However, I rather like the way the church is leaning inwards whilst the clouds due to the long exposure are seemingly zooming outwards. Both interconnected yet both independent.

+Kris Williams is one of my favourite photographers here on G+ and if you want to add some really beautiful images to your stream just pop him in one of your circles. I find I want to just walk into the scenes he shoots - great stuff!

Conwy harbour during the early hours of the morning is a peaceful location, but totally different during the day when full of tourists.
A long exposure can bring out some of the hidden beauty of the scene in an otherwise dark and lonely place.

Viewing the world through a window
Dunham Massey in Cheshire has some modern features, some good and some bad - depends on your likes of course. I rather like this wooden framed structure overlooking one of the many small ponds.

When white meets black
When the snow falls at just the right moment, you can produce an image just like this. Wonderful shot from +Lord Parker.

On a Snowy Winters Night
You lucky, lucky people.... I went out tonight in -4 degrees to take some lovely night winter shots. I passed this place earlier today, and thought it looked fantastic, but didn't have my Nikons on me, so I went back to shoot it under the cover of darkness..... Just for You.
We are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow, hopefully more great winter shots to come. It's really tricky shooting at night, with no lights in the countryside.. but hey, I love a challenge. This shot was a 20 second exposure 100 ISO.

Carnations provided an opportunity for a macro shot for todays #floralfriday theme Using a stack of five images and Helicon Focus to combine them for the final image. I like the way the folds of the petals combine to provide texture and colourful abstract.

Spring is here!
Woohoo, spring has arrived at last! After weeks of cold, snowy conditions in the North of England it looks like spring has finally arrived. I haven't been on Google+ in the last few weeks due to family commitments and a brief respite over in Wales last week recharging batteries. Hope to move forward now and already setting my alarm to catch the sunrise tomorrow - I hope its a good one!

Cauldron Falls
#365Project 128:365
My contribution to #FallFriday Curated by +Stephonie Ogden & +Karin Nelson.
The Yorkshire Dales offers some amazing opportunities for photographers and this image is in the small village of West Burton in Wensleydale.
I visited this location and took this image at exactly 11:11 today on 11:11:11. As this was also Remembrance Day (Armistice Day) I took some moments whilst there to remember all those brave soldiers who have given so much to make this planet a safer and better place for us all. #FallFriday today means so much more than just waterfalls!

I love winter and how it changes things, this is a clematis flower or what is left of it after it goes to seed and dries out. There are just a few flakes of snow on it. The tails are two remaining seeds on the flower. This is a focal stacked image shot outside.

Canal Life
Leaving the local marina near Marbury Country Park in Northwich the boats head down the canal. Despite an impending storm, the occupants of this boat are sure to get a glimpse of nature they would otherwise miss had they declined the chance for a day trip.

Chester walk
Walking around Chester next to the river Dee is a peaceful experience, especially on a Sunday morning when the tourists tend to be fewer! During the summer months this area can be extremely busy at times.

Waiting for the dawn together
Over 600 years separate the creation of the two buildings yet during the second world war both the concrete bunker and Dunstanburgh castle both served to protect the Northumberland coastline.

Capel-y-Gorlan (Rhosydd Chapel)
Once a thriving slate quarry with its own Chapel, all that now remains of Capel-y-Gorlan (Rhosydd Chapel) at Cwmorthin Slate Quarry are 3 walls and a mound of slate. A rather desolate location but one which I am sure would have once provided worshipers with a quiet sanctuary from their day to day lives underground.

Friday can only mean one thing - its Floral Friday again! So dear +Tamara Pruessner this one’s for you!
For a change from a living plant I decided to go with a single red imitation flower shot against a green background showing a silhouette of flower stems.
Strobist info: EX580 gridded CL; SB25 snoot CR gelled.
