The Last Sunset

Wednesday already, cant believe how fast the weeks are going, dare one mention Christmas..lol!!

As the name suggest this was my last sunset on my recent shoot at Rhosneigr, Anglesey. Was such a beautiful evening, warm air and a stunning sunset, slow swirling sea lapping around my knees…ahhh, I stayed long after the sun disappeared and just listened to the sea and the sound of the birds winging their way home to bed, they were probably out hunting for food for their little ones tucked safely away in a nest somewhere.

Heading back for workshops in May and June so I’m very excited, I do hope the weather plays fair and we get chance to recreate some of my favourite shots on this my second home Island.

Hoping you all have a great day

Waves n Rocks

A beautiful sunset at Paradise Beach or Rhosneigr as its known….

I used a Singh Ray Reverse Grad filter to get the wonderful tones out of the sky whilst maintaining  a natural sea and waves with just a hint of slow shutter to make the waves a little  creamy.  Processing was simply, clean dust and spray from the shot and adjust levels and saturation…simple eh

Taking dad to hospital later, he has a blocked gland or something under his eye, looks a right mess and it has to be drained etc etc….not one for the faint hearted me thinks. I’ll be happy taking him and waiting, don’t want to see it!

Have a great Wednesday

Sunset Pyramid

Another piece of art inspired photography here from my Wales trip, this time with my trusty crystal pyramid upturned. Believe me it wasn’t that easy a shot to compose, the darn pyramid for one kept falling over every time the breeze blew and then the waves kept hitting the back of the rocks sending spray over and soaking not only the crystal but me too!. Anyway I hope you like it, it’s not my usual composition by rule but I like the fact that the rock dominated the scene but the harmony created by the setting sun and crystal work nicely together, the just off 50/50 split and the break in the sea draw the focus back to the crystal…..

Rain forecast yet again today, in fact it’s forecast all week and were off on a long walk this coming weekend. I have a couple booked now for my June sea shoot on Anglesey, I also have a spare slot for May if there are any takers out there.

Date 13-18 May if anyone is interested please email me to book between these dates

Sunset Rays Rocks 'N' Mist

Friday! what a great day

well it is isn’t it? the weekend is here.

Just got another confirmation on a couple of workshops so thats great news, I can eat again..lol

Off doing more Navigation training this weekend with a mate and Stormy and no doubt we’ll trow the cameras in with us too, We’ve decided to do the Yorkshire 3 peak, it’ll be the 3 Amigos and Stormy out again for a jaunt so should be fun.

Today’s is yet another one from Wales, I know but it’s hard to resit processing these shots when they come out so nice

cleaned and leveled in Photoshop, Lee .6 and Singh Ray Reverse Grad, Canon 1DS MKII and 24-105 F4 on board.

Simple eh!

have a great weekend

Pyramid Sunset

Hi All

Thursday already, the weekend approaches fast eh?, still raining here, they better not bring in a hosepipe ban..lol we had over an inch of rain yesterday and they’ll say it fell in the wrong place1..

This shot is again from Rhosneigr in Wales, utilising my trusty crystal pyramid again, this time laying on its side to reflect more of the sea and sunset, I love the warmth of the sun against the rock as the setting sun reflects from the sea.

Have a few more workshops booked now so I’m pleased they are taking off and feedback is all positive…unless they’re scared of me.. particularly the seascapes sessions, must admit its a favourite of mine, so much emotion and passion in the sea.

Have a great Thursday

Sunset Vent

Wednesday and the rain has returned with a vengeance, had me awake half the night with it thrashing against the window, Stormy was oblivious to it, choosing to lay on her back on her waterbed….yes my husky has a water bed, it keeps her cool…don’t ask!

Today’s offering is from guess where…of course Wales. Taken during a workshop I did recently with a mate and fellow tog Barney. Not going to explain too much about it other than it’s all real no Photoshopping, well only to clean the dist bunnies off and check the levels, other than that it’s as it came out of the camera.

hope the weather improves somewhat though the forecast is poor for the rest of the week.

Ah well its time for Stormy’s 2nd walk of the day, she’s happily ripping a toy to pieces to get to its heart or squeaker as we call it
