STEPHEN (STEVE) LEWIS A.R.P.S.

(ASSOCIATE OF THE ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY) DISTINCTION RECOGNISES A CONSISTENTLY HIGH STANDARD OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ACHIEVEMENT.
THIS ATMOSPHERIC PRE-DAWN COMPOSITION DEPICTS LLYNNAU MYMBYR, A PAIR OF GLACIAL LAKES NEAR CAPEL CURIG IN ERYRI (SNOWDONIA) NATIONAL PARK, NORTH WALES. THE LOCATION IS INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED FOR ITS MIRROR-LIKE REFLECTIONS, EVER-CHANGING LIGHT AND PANORAMIC VIEWS TOWARDS THE SNOWDONIA MOUNTAIN RANGE, MAKING IT ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY LOCATIONS IN WALES.
