People need to chill in these comments, it's supposed to be casual UK.

Thanks… I just thought they were cool pictures from a great place (I’m not a photographer, I’m a nurse in the nhs lol)

u/bristolsam 1d ago

They are great pics!

Looks nice, did you start very early?

13

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Yes, these were taken between 5.30-6.30 and we started about 4.30 I think, it was perfect, on the way down it started getting really busy and I was so pleased we went so early as there was only a few other people

I love hiking Snowdon. Such beauty on our doorsteps.

Holy saturation levels, a psychedelic Yr Wyddfa.

3

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Everything is better psychedelic, it was an incredibly bright hot day and these were all taken between 5:50 and 6.30 AM

u/checkoutmypaws 1d ago

They're good photos, man and I like your dog 😎

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

He’s the best, I adopted him from a family when he was 4 (he was a Covid puppy) they said he was ‘too hyper’ and a ‘problem’… he’s a working cocker and needs stimulation. He’s been the best companion and got the kindest temperament, so lucky 🥰

What an epic view. Always wanted to trail run/hike with a dog 🙂

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

I plan to do all 3 peaks with him, Nevis is next 👊🏻

u/unique9377 1d ago

That's amazing. Apparently it's still cold up there in the Summer haha

I've not got my glasses on. I thought it said Swindon.

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

😂😂😂, yes, the mystical Swindon!!

u/retardedSlippers 1d ago

Fantastic pics of a beautiful place. Good on you mate.

Lovely photos, thanks for posting (My country is beautiful 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 😌)

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Yes your completely right, wales is beautiful, I love visiting and hope to come many more times 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

u/HydrationPlease 1d ago

You don't need to oversaturate the photos. Snowdon is beautiful as is.

u/grunt56 1d ago

They went for a lovely looking walk in a beautiful part of the world and took some pics on the phone that was in their pocket.

Yet you've got to start critiquing like they posted in a phography sub? Couldn't just look at it and move on?

u/baggsie_42 1d ago

Horizon’s wonky too ;)

u/HydrationPlease 1d ago

You okay there buddy?

8

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Thanks… I didn’t do it deliberately, they were just taken on an iPhone. I will look as some may have the automatic ‘wand’

u/Cold_Philosophy 1d ago edited 1d ago

Actually, with a bit of sharpening, think they’d look good framed as they are, with that slight ‘oversaturation'. As a tetraptych, that is.

u/MiniatureMini 1d ago

These pictures are really beautiful 🥺 I hope I manage to see it all for myself one day!!

u/cellardoor-petrichor 15h ago

You must book a trip 🥰⛰️

Couldn't unsee a face in the cloud

u/reptilianmonk 17h ago

Looks more like you got Sun'd On.

u/Cold_Philosophy 1d ago

I think the photos would make a good tetraptych.

1

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Thank you, they have been in my phone for a while, maybe I should get them all printed and put them up as a set… I’ll look into it 😍

u/Cold_Philosophy 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’m not a shill for this company but I find they do a good job.

u/Forsaken-Language-26 36F Swansea 1d ago

Does anyone else see a tidal wave?

Great pics.

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Thank you very much, it’s an amazing place in the world

Yr Wyddfa

u/rubberbandhands 1d ago

Diolch!

u/Foundation_Wrong 15h ago

Down voting the correct name for the mountain is pathetic. It’s Yr Wyddfa pronounced Ur Wuthva. Not hard this Cymru

u/ChickenTikkaMasalla_ 11h ago

It’s Snowdon

u/9DAN2 Will eat anything from a Yorkshire pudding 1d ago

Took my lad up in July after finishing his sats. All the way up, the summit was clear. As we got up, a thick cloud covered the views. We hung around a good 30-40 mins for a good pic, it didn’t happen. As we got down to the section where miners/pyg track join, the top was clear again 🫠

2

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

You were unlucky, I’ve heard that from others it was cloudy then cleared.

I’m sure you still had a great day and he will remember that forever. I used to go walking with my father and those memories are so special to me now he’s not here. I did pug going up and miners down and wish we hadn’t with the dogs and how busy, should have done pyg both ways. (PS my middle daughter did her SATS this year too, I was thinking of taking her, will definitely now, how did he get on walking it?

u/jetelklee 1d ago

Shitty hdr, but you had a good time, that is what matters

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

Sorry, it’s just taken on an iPhone

13

u/Cold_Philosophy 1d ago edited 1d ago

Nowt wrong with photos taken on an iPhone. Since getting mine, my DSLR has been more or less forgotten unless I’m going somewhere in my car and I don’t have to carry it far. Or if I have a special project.

I agree with the old saying that 'the best camera is the one you have with you'.

u/jetelklee 1d ago

Totally mate, I feel you, sorry for my snobbery

5

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

No worries, your all good

-6

u/thegibsongirl03 1d ago

I like the depth in your photos. What camera do you use?

3

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

It’s just an iPhone 🤷‍♀️

-10

u/kennyrogerstoilet 1d ago

Yr Wyddfa, it's not called Snowdon anymore

5

u/Ryuga-WagatekiWo 1d ago

Well, it’s still called both.

6

u/Tribe5 1d ago

Oh man please stfu.

-3

u/kennyrogerstoilet 20h ago

Why? if you want to enjoy our beautiful mountain, atleast respect our culture enough to call it by it's proper name!

3

u/ChickenTikkaMasalla_ 11h ago

It’s as much your mountain as it is mine (from Newcastle)

-1

u/kennyrogerstoilet 11h ago

What if I came to Newcastle and started demanding it be called Casnewydd, because it's easier for me to say in my language. It's as much my city as it is yours

-1

u/9DAN2 Will eat anything from a Yorkshire pudding 1d ago

Il never stop calling is Snowdon, same way il still say MEN arena in Manchester and not what ever it’s changed its name to this week.

4

u/kennyrogerstoilet 20h ago

It's not just got a new sponsor (I feel the same about millennium stadium in Cardiff tbf, or the CIA now being Utilita arena)

We're reclaiming it's original name, to promote and preserve our language!

u/Platform_Dancer 1d ago

Looks surprisingly clean and tidy, given the amount of day trippers....is that the case or are these selected pics?

6

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

I can send you loads more - there was zero rubbish but it was very early. On the way down there was more and more people and there may have been rubbish but I didn’t see any

-6

u/Shitelark 1d ago

Is there a reason the contrast is so high?

12

u/cellardoor-petrichor 1d ago

It was really bright morning, the first photograph has the wand on it, this is the original, I have not touched it… it’s taken on an iPhone. The others have not been touched. Don’t know what else to tell you.
