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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A Rarity! Squacco Heron here in Pembs…

Caught wind of this bird spotted at a local bay so went down this morning to try and photograph it. Superb weather and the bird was still there!! Bold as brass and wasn’t deterred from it’s busy fishing task, was happily snapped from twenty feet away, definately not like other skittish waders who fly off [...]

Milky Way ~ Freshwater West Hut…

Another attempt at the Milky Way, this time facing west…

Florence’s 1st Photoshoot…

Florence, my lovely niece (& God-Daughter!) was christened on the weekend and we’d arranged a photoshoot with some of my new fully mobile studio equipment. Fair to say she had a lovely time posing for the camera and took it all in her stride including three costume changes! She’s just over 4 months old now [...]

After the disappointment of the meteor shower (cloudy!) a few weeks back the day after was crystal clear so went down to Elegug (Guillemot in Welsh) Stacks near me about midnight ~ went here as it’s pretty much closest south facing point near me and knew where the Milky Way would be situated thanks to [...]
