John Macleod at www.fotowales.co.uk has some interesting pictures in the section Slate Quarries of Snowdonia and North Wales. Enjoy! 🙂

Lovely stuff, although the watermark is a bit over-zealous!

Mind you, I'm beginning to suspect that there should be a penalty for taking pictures of Capel Rhosydd: Cwm Cwmorthin must be the most photographed part of north Wales. How's about pulling toenails out for a start?

Yes, also tiring of seeing photos of 'The Street' at Rhosydd too!

Came across this while doing a search for slate wagon dimensions. Some superb shots of DInorwic and Penrhyn in steam working days. There's a nice one looking down into a Dinorwic Sinc with a blondin overhead, also an excellent one of Red Lion Floor with five out of eight water balances visible. (Did no-one ever photograph George and Douglas ?)

The map is the territory - especially in chain scale.

"John Macleod at www.fotowales.co.uk has some interesting pictures in the section Slate Quarries of Snowdonia and North Wales."

Unless he had permission its a bit of "Forgive us our trespasses"

Also the 'copywrite'. I see better or at least as good pics on Aditnow. Maybe we should all go into business?

He doesn't take many of quarries (it is a bit of a specialist area I guess) but Glyn Davies takes a nice photo...

Artphoto says it all, as far as I am concerned.... What we need is recordphoto...

I don't mind people using my photos (I keep coming across mis-uses of photos from "slate from Blaenau") as long as they correctly credit them. (It'd be even nicer if they asked me first!)

:) Agreed 🙂 I do like them from the point of view of something to put on the wall though

Agreed again; several people (you included) are doing a fine job of that on here and other sites :thumbsup:

I think he has a cheek to ask £45 when you can see his shadow very obviously in the picture...

5 minutes in Photoshop would sort that out. Shame really, because it's a nice pic otherwise.

Ooooh! Should I start charging for my photographs which have my shadow in them ??? I've got several I took late one summer evening around the Votty mills with the sun behind me...

Funny thing is you lot are talking about charging for pictures whereas most of mine would just get me charged with something 😮
Think I've got the wrong end of the stick somewhere 😞
