that's what I call moody

NB: this post was written well before the Covid-19 outbreak

Thanks to global warming this past winter has been awful for getting those snowy, frosty and, erm, wintery images.

Where I live, we’ve experienced two days of frost. Two. And as for snow? Forget it.

So, when snow was forecast further north in the Brecon Beacons, I hotfooted it there to get my cold weather fix.

I didn’t have me filters with me (well I did, but I forgot the adapter ring for this lens!), so I shot 2 images: one exposed correctly and the other underexposed by 2 stops and combined them in Photoshop.

Guess what?

That’s right. No snow.

Apart that is for some on the far-off peaks of Pen-y-Fan and Corn Du. And along with the white mountaintops was a bubbling, threatening, moody storm cloud.

It brought rain.
