Conwy Castle and Colwyn Bay at dusk, North Wales UK - Wide 5:1 ratio Panorama, Open Edition prints
Perched overlooking the natural harbour of Colwyn Bay the Castle Conwy is lit up at dusk like a jewel. Cymru (Wales) has along and proud heritage and one that is integral to the formation of the United Kingdom as it is today. This Gaelic coastline was rich in trading activity across all of the Irish sea, the North of England and Scotland beyond for hundreds of years. The construction of a castle to both protect trade and subdue the local populations was the aim of the English throne of the day. However, it has evolved over the years to be like many other castles of Wales, in that they have become features that draw crowds. In the process introduce them to the natural beauty of this land from it’s mountains to it’s coast. Captured here at twilight it is a sun that has set for this day but a glow that will remain long into the future.
These images are ultra-wide panorama, meaning they have a size ratio of 5:1 or for every 10 inches tall they are then the width is 50 inches. This is probably the best way to take in the majesty of this scene. The original image is constructed from several high resolution photographs to obtain and retain as much detail and vibrance as possible from the moment. Compositions are sourced in advance of shooting too, unlike when this type of panorama form factor is produced by cropping a single more square frame shot.
