Waterfall Four

Well its Wednesday at least, only tomorrow to go and were off to Clumber Park again, cant wait, Stormy will be  in for a treat, I got a springer bike attachment so she can run at the side of my bike…..should I book an ambulance now? Im going to try and video it 1st time out anyway, should be a laugh. She needs a lot more mileage than I can run/walk so my company on my bike will do her justice and clock up a few miles a day fitness for me.

Another shot from Lathkill, as you know by now I love water and have to be near it once every week or two, luckily Clumber Park has a massive lake so I’ll be down there wellies on and tripod in the water.

Don’t know if we will see the celebrations on Friday, my invite must have got lost in the post……good luck to them anyway

Anglesey was on Country File last night, I felt quite aggrieved I didn’t want it making public just how beautiful it is, I don’t want it swamping with 1000’s more tourists like me! in actual fact they did a pretty poor job of it and missed far more beautiful locations to film.

Waterfall POV

Sometimes it’s important to try and get that shot that makes it a little different from the norm, now it may be you get it wrong or you just get your feet wet but at least it will be different. Many many times I have gone to a location and found tripod holes and bare dirt where grass once grew, I instantly turn away and go and find something different….yes I did get wet feet, was it worth it…of course it was.

I love the flow to the far right best

 

have a great week

Lathkill River Waterfall

 

well I thought I better have another go at the waterfall at Lathkill River this time tripod  and waterproof boots on. Got a lot better shot this time as I stood ankle deep in the cool river water on a beautifully scorching Saturday, big stopper on, “old faithful” never lets me down, 20s at f/11.0, no processing other than a little recovery to take down the white of the water, other than that its straight out of the camera, hope you like it.

Enjoy the bank holiday

Orange Burst

Just a few more now from Anglesey, well maybe quite a lot, sorry cant help it!

As the title suggests an orange burst, last remnants of the days beautiful sun. I’d kinda like to dedicate this to Elizabeth Sladen who died today, she helped me when growing up, Lis was the one that did it for me as an early teenager…….such sad news at only 63 years old.

Had a great day out yesterday at Lathkill Dale, will post some shots later

hope the sun keeps shining all week as promised

Veiled Sea

Tuesday already and Good Friday and a long weekend to look forward to especially with the weather forecasting a mini heatwave, should be fun if it really happens.

Off to The Peaks today and its a water day, cant wait, meeting friends at Bakewell then off from there, Stormy should love it paddling in the river.

Veiled Sea shot taken at Anglesey as the sun retreats, long exposure causing the waves to mist and form a see through veil against the rocks in the foreground.

Still waiting for my super dooper wellies to arrive should have been here yesterday and they would certainly come in handy today if the land in time…. Plus just ordered a “Springer” yes a springer google it, it attaches to my mountain bike and Stormy can run at the side of me, Jo has promised a bike ride at the weekend if it arrives in time

have a great day

Caramel Swirl

Ah Sunday the day of rest and what better way than to sit and gaze into a Caramel Swirl!

Unfortunately I have cut the grass and washed the car, on the upside were off to Wentworth Castle with friends and Stormy shortly to capture the deer and bluebells and a well earned coffee, beautiful sunshine here.

Then its a relaxing afternoon lounging round the garden playing with Stormy and a great late Sunday dinner cooked to perfection by Joanne, she really is a great cook and I’m not just saying that..lol

 

Hope you are all managing to have a great weekend too…..

Cable Bay Sunset

Its Friday wwhheeyy!!!

here is another from my Wales shoot as the sun sets over the horizon casting the last rays across the sea towards me and only me, yes I’m selfish…it’s my sun

Got my new wellies coming today as Joanne says she fed up with me having soaking wet feet and even wetter boots all the time, it is difficult to dry them in the caravan though so she has a point, anyway they are super dooper ones and the manufacturer may be sponsoring me so if they do I’ll let you know about them, if they don’t I’ll never reveal their secret..lol

Happy trails to Nic, Dave and the kids, lucky things off to Scotland for a week, hope the sun shines for you all.

Loads more of these to come, got another 6 ready so apologies if you’re getting bored of sea shots, its something I must do though.

 

Have a great weekend

At Peace

Nearly the weekend and I thought well it would be nice to have something to view that’s calming, relaxing and easy on the eyes. This shot was taken as I was walking off the beach heading to my car, as I turned the  sky was rich with oranges and pinks and to think I nearly walked past it! This is actually desaturated by 15% on the colour side as the filter increased it far too much, what do you think, too much, not enough?

Physio this morning on the my shoulder rotator cuff, hopefully will start being able to train real heavy again soon.

Sunset and Wave Action

Cable Bay Sunset

Well we’re back from a fab week in Rhosniegr, Anglesey, the weather didn’t play very fair for the first couple of days with very heavy rain and winds, didn’t bother us though, straight onto the rocks and captured some serious wave action, shot below as I got one straight over my head, God you cant explain how good it feels to be alive when this happens, so exhilarating to say the least.

This shot above was taken on Tuesday evening  when we had a great sunset, I dashed round to Cable Bay and spent a good hour compiling shots, I must have 50 to process that will make it to web, the conditions were so good. In all I managed 3 sunsets, one sunrise and a hell of a great wave and wind day, thought I’d been in some dodgy spots before…..never anything like this, 30 foot drop and waves hammering me from all sides, my legs still ache from being tensed against the force of the wind. The  shot below illustrates the power of the sea, I was right in the middle of it, I saw the wave coming towards me quickly wiped my filter and lifted the camera and rattled off 3 shots, this being the most pleasing.

Much much more to follow.
