With a little help from my Singh Ray Reverse Grad filter and a perfect setting sun on Anglesey, I think I pretty much nailed this one. For a change I thought , well it’s warm I’ll wear my flip flops instead of wellies……boy was I wrong the sea is still freezing and as the sun… Continue reading A Perfect Setting

Way Too Hot….No, Really
Yes it really was too hot this last week, never thought I’d say that in this country, well it was North Wales. Had a great week away did a workshop but cancelled one as there simply wasn’t any sky action to play with, not great for teaching.

Simplest Is Sometimes Best

Using my Singh Ray reverse grad filter to bring the sky… Continue reading Simplest Is Sometimes Best

Getting… Continue reading Sunset Shower (Avoiding the obvious title)
Bamburgh Poppy Sunburst
A rather special night at Bamburgh last weekend as the sunset behind the castle and burst over a field of beautiful poppies, very difficult lighting conditions and I had to use several filters to blend the scene right. I love the way the poppy field looks like someone turned a 100watt bulb on in the… Continue reading Bamburgh Poppy Sunburst
