MTB Photo Session at Nant yr Arian

Some guy producing a guidebook contacted Dave asking for some photos of people riding the trails at Nant yr Arian, so instead of a normal early morning ride we had planned to meet up for a bit of a photo shoot. We had hoped for a few people but it was just Dave and I who braved the early morning midges.

My new camera has yet to arrive so we did a few shots using my SLR on the Hippity Hops before heading off over the moorland and down Mark of Zorro with just Dave’s trusty little compact. The SLR would have been better but I didn’t fancy lugging it all the way there and back.

It wasn’t the best of days for a photo session with a very overcast sky and a drab, grey, flat light, but we got a few shots and tried to capture the nature of the trails at Nant yr Arian.
