Aberdulais Tin Works and Waterfall

Set in a steep gorge, this property demonstrates the power of water and its impact on industry. Our film, Reflections on Tin, shows its 400-year-old history, from 1584, including a visit by the famous artist Turner. An early water-powered tin works was the last industry. Today the waters of the River Dulais are used to make Aberdulais Falls self-sufficient in environmentally friendly energy, with its waterwheel – the largest in Europe generating electricity.

Many of these images have had local tone mapping applied using Corel PaintShop Pr X3
There is also some experimaetation using slow shutter speeds to show the movement of water and the water wheel.
