Grassholm, Island of Gannets…

Having lived here most of my life I’ve pretty much seen and experienced everything this part of Wales has to offer, that is all except for one place. A place I’ve only ever seen through binoculars from afar, a place that is literally out on it’s own, this place is called Grassholm Island. One of [...]

Milky Way ~ Freshwater West War Memorial…

Following on from last years Milky Way shots found here > Milky Way ~ Elegug Stacks & here > Milky Way ~ Fresh West Seaweed Hut I tried something new. Here we have the War Memorial at Freshwater West. Again using Stellarium, made sure I would be shooting the right direction and time to capture [...]

Florence on Father’s Day…

Took some shots of my lovely ever growing, ever changing niece using her newly acquired walking skills in the garden. She seemed extremely intrigued with the flowers! Thanks to And & Soph for use of their lovely little monkey for my portfolio All photos taken with Canon EOS 5D Mark II & 70-200mm f/2.8L IS [...]

Skomer with PhotoPlus…

Wow what a day, superb scenery, amazing wildlife and a great bunch of guys! After having previous work featured in PhotoPlus this year and living in the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, I was asked by PhotoPlus to be the pro on their “PhotoPlus Apprentice” feature. It’s a been a few months in the making [...]

Carreg Samson Startrails…

Envisaged this scene in my mind for a few months now, have just been waiting for the right time and weather conditions to carry it out – even then the incoming mist scuppered my full attempt at this shot ending it prematurely only after 45 minutes! (wanted to do three hours). Thought all was lost [...]

A few frozen hours at my local…

Went down my local patch this morning and it’s still frozen solid, took some peanuts with me and there was a feeding frenzy! A Nuthatch! It’s a first for me, always wanted to capture one of these little fellas – didn’t think they’d be hopping about 10 feet away though! All photos on this page [...]

Waxwings at Woburn…

Caught wind of these enigmatic winter migrants whilst visiting relatives on the weekend and jumped at the chance to capture them close by! The Waxwing is definitely one of those poster birds and high on a twitcher’s “tick” list, even non twitcher’s can get excited by their very striking and almost unreal appearance with their [...]

Highlands, Mull & more…

Isle of Seil Yet another rainy and sunny mix of weather along with near gale force winds greeted us on our decent of the “Bridge over the Atlantic” to the Isle of Seil. Seil, one of the Slate Islands, is a small island on the east side of the Firth of Lorn, 7 miles southwest [...]

Monarch of the Glen……Etive!

The main aim of our trip to the Highlands & Islands of Scotland was to bag some shots of the largest land mammal in the UK, the majestic Red Deer. An animal, ubiquitous to the Highlands of Scotland comes alive in the Autumn months. October, mainly being rather wet and wild (which we experienced more [...]

Coetan Arthur…

This year I have been looking at megalithic sites around the county for while now and always wanted to capture them in their surroundings in the right light. Checked TPE , (a stunning piece of free software for knowing where the sun is, what angle and when!) so I’d know the light would be on [...]
