Happy Valley Llandudno

 Faint o honom sydd angen gwneud sialens sydd yn angenrheidiol i gynllun ond ddim hefo'r cymhelliad i neud. Dim byd fel esiampl yma i fod angen cerdded i Happy Valley yn Llandudno i dynnu lluniau wedi cael eu tynnu gan ffotofgraffwyr yr wyf yn astudio i fy ngwaith cwrs eleni. Ar ol cael cyfle yn mis Hydref i dynnu lluniau hefo'r ffon symydol ond ddim yr un ansawdd ar camera DLSR. Felly sgidia braf dillad cynnes a dechrau taith ar droed i Happy Valley. Un peth am allu cerdded ar hyd lan y mor Llandudno mae o ar wastaddir felly dim elltydd serth ddim ond ar a rhan olaf sydd yn mymryn o ymdrech ond yn talu am yn ail am yr ymdrech. Wrth gerddad mae'r camera obscura yn edrych yn fach iawn a bron yn amhosib i gyrraedd ond gwerth bob cam at fy sialens 10k cam y dydd. Ar ol cymeryd tua 45 munud ar hyd lan y mor Llandudno ac ambell o luniau ar y ffon symydol ar DLSR cyrraedd Happy Valley. Un llun nesi dynnu ddim at fy ngwaith oedd y llun yma o ffiniau gwesty Grand yn edrych dros olion y Theatre Grand aeth ar dan nol yn gaeaf 1994, sydd hyd heddiw ddim ond olion o beth oedd yno am 200 mlynedd, defnyddio’r filter i greu effaith sepia un o fy hoff luniau nes i ei dynnu 2 Ionawr 2021. 




How many of us have a challenge which is essential for a project but not the motivation to do it. Nothing like myself needed to walk to Happy Valley in Llandudno to retake images by Photgraphers I'm studying for my course work of the Victorian era. After having a photo session with my mobile phone back in October I needed to go back with my DLSR, for quality images. So comfy shoes winter clothes and start the journey on foot. One thing of walk on Llandudno prom it's all on the flat until the hill up to Happy Valley and looking from first base on Llandudno prom the camera obscura looks an impossible location but a help for my daily 10k daily  challenge to reach, but worth the effort. After around a 45 minutes walk taking images with my DLSR and mobile phone and reach Happy Valley. One image I took not for course work was this image taken from the edge of The Grand Hotel overlooking the remains of the former Grand Theatre which went on fire winter 1994, only the remains of what it was 200 years ago. Using the mobile phone filters to create a sepia effect. One of my favourite images taken 2nd January 2021.

  DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY OR PICTORIAL  A  QUESTIONNAIR.  Due to needing to create a questionnaire/survey for my contextual studies BA Photography course work module at Llandrillo college, an impossible task face to face due to covid-19 I came up with the idea of sending an appeal to the LLANDUDNO IN OLD PHOTOGRAPHS for any willing participants. With a good response this is my selection of questions . All replies to be made per comment section , this way I will be able to copy and paste my results and analysis for the module as a word document. Thanks you in advance those of you willing to participate.  My theme is the work of Victorian photographers in Llandudno. My work based on the work of Thomas Edge, La Roche photo studio, Francis Frith and Francis Bedford and Alvin Langdon Coburn ( American photographer who lived in Rhos On Sea for his final 18 years) The images taken during the 19th C era was pictorialism and my final images and theme recreating the same imag...

Mi ges y pleser of gyfweld a jade Vickers, Dyma ganlyniad y cyfwliad.  We had the task to interview a fellow photography student, I had the joy of interviewing Jade Vickers. The interview below.  Interview by Mair Thomas with Jade Vickers: Sunday 18th of October    When did your interest in photography start?    I started college when I was fifteen years old and I studied art and design, so I would say I have always been quite the creative person, I enjoyed my years in college a lot. After college I worked for a few years and my creativity became less and less, I would do the odd drawing or painting at home but I started to forget how much I enjoyed it as I was always so busy and then around five years ago, I received a Canon Rebel XS camera as a present. It made me so happy, I started to notice the things around me, the shapes in the trees, the patterns on the wall, the mountains near where I live...
