I want to be there! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the beautiful photos.

We had a great time in Wales! Beautiful place and extremely nice people. Every day had an incredible sky, and it only rained the last day. The trip improved dramatically after the third day, when my wife finally stopped being nervous about me driving on the left side of the road. Seriously, it was a wonderful trip. Friends told us not to bother with Stonehenge, but it was our favorite place. Got there early and on the first bus, so lots of shadow, beautiful sky, and few people.

I took well over 1,000 photos, so lots to edit. Here are just a few.

That's an awesome picture! Love the detail.

Thanks so much everyone! So nice to be part of such a helpful group! We definitely have raincoat (and rain pants) for the trip, and a few umbrellas too. Hopefully it won't rain every day, but some rain creates great photos and mood. I guess I'm going to pack all three lenses and my computer and see how I feel about the weight. Maybe my wife will carry on of them in her bag (80-200?). HaHa!

Here's our schedule:
Day 1: fly into Manchester and drive to Coventry, seeing a few sights on the way.
Day 2-4: we're in Bath.
Day 4-5: we're in Newport
Day 5-6: we're in Fishguard
Day 7-8: we're in Conwy
Day 9: heading back to Manchester for the night, then fly home.

These are only where the hotels are. We have a list of 6-8 places to see/visit each day, so we plan to talk to locals to choose which to see. So much to see there!

We leave USA on the 31st of July. I'll definitely post some pics after editing.

Thanks again!!!

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum, so I apologize in advance if I break any rules for posting or etiquette before understanding them all. I'm looking forward to participating! I'll post more about myself in the Introduction area, but here is my question to the group: My wife and I are leaving on a 10-day trip to Wales in a few weeks and I'm wondering what gear to take with me. We're renting a car and have our own castle, roman ruin, and historic church tour planed. REALLY looking forward to unplugging from work and just enjoying the trip with my wonderful wife. Anyway, I have a Nikon D750 with the following Tamron 2.8 lenses: 15-30, 24-70, 70-200. I also have a nice assortment of Lee filters and a circular polarizer for each lens. I'm fairly good with Lightroom and On1 Photo Raw for editing. Taking all three of those lenses is a lot of weight to carry around, especially with a tripod. I was thinking about leaving the 70-200 and the Lee filters at home and going with only the camera and two lenses (with polarizers). What do you think? Any other gear I should take?

Also, any must-see places we should plan to visit?

Really appreciate the help!

Steve
