Description A series of shots I took around Llyn Idwal, a small lake (approximately 800 m by 300 m) that lies within Cwm Idwal in the Glyderau mountains of Snowdonia.

It is named after Prince Idwal Foel a grandson of Rhodri Mawr, one of the ancient Kings of Wales, legend stating that the unfortunate offspring was murdered by being drowned in the lake. In fact Idwal Foel died in battle against the Saxons in 942 and the legend is that he was cremated beside the lake as was the burial custom for Celtic nobility. (wikipedia)

Very nice! Did you use some kind of motion capture? That water has a strange ethereal look to it.

I just slowed the shutter down as much as I could, to soften the water in the river. I love soft water rather then seeing every detail in ever drop. xx
