Brecon Beacons and before
· Friday March 14, 2008
I love taking pictures. I even love developing them. I love talking to people about pictures. But for whatever reason, it always takes quite a bit of effort for me to upload them onto my website :)
It’s especially hard, when you can just drop photos onto facebook, and my friends can instantly check them out there, make comments, etc. But the resolution is poor, facebook doesn’t display EXIF info, etc. etc. I don’t always put the same set of pics on my website as I do on facebook (different audience, I assume), but you’re welcome to check out a couple of my facebook galleries if you like :)
In any case, I’m just being whiny, haha. Things have been so busy since I’ve returned from Taiwan that I haven’t even really had time to go through all of my trip pics in any detail. Unfortunately, given that I’m scheduled to finish my PhD by this October, times will be very tight from here on out.
That doesn’t mean I’m not going to make the most of my dwindling time in Europe… and academia, haha. I’m going to visit Ireland in May with a close friend from Swarthmore, and even heading to South Korea for a conference in July. And there are a few Southampton University Hillwalking Club away trips left as well!
Last weekend was just such an occasion, where I had the chance to get out and see some of the countryside with the walking club. For the past two years, I had missed the Brecon Beacons National Park away trip because it had always coincided with the weekend of a Jazzmanix concert. Well not the case this year!
And I had a great time, as always. In typical away trip fashion, the weather was crap the first day (pouring with rain— took out my camera twice), but did manage to get a decent shot of the scene before it started really tipping:
Walkers
More photos of the beautiful weather on Sunday to come very soon, but I did want to note that some more pics from my trip to Asia are up now :) A couple of my favs:
the Light
and
Tea Fields
both taken on Alishan (a mountain in Taiwan).

Hi,
I tried to post a comment to your photo blog (the gallery), and it seems like the comment did some nasty things with your page.
Anyway, I think you’ve been producing some really nice shots lately. -
Hi Kjell—
Thanks for your comments! Yes, at the moment, comments and info on the portrait-oriented pictures are not being wrapped correctly… I shall look into it as soon as I have some time.
And again, thank you for your kind words. It helps to have a solid block of time where one is shooting pictures regularly, as when I was on vacation. I think that’s partly reflected in the recent pictures :)
