Crystal Sunset

A flash of mist as the sun sets captured in my trusty crystal, should bring a smile to a miserable day, rain and mist around today so its a catch up with processing day and having suffered the indignity of having our caravan stolen last weekend while I was away with MRT we have to go through it all with the loss adjuster this afternoon, hopefully we’ll get things sorted sooner rather than later, need my sea fix real soon, little tent may have to have to run out to Anglesey short term.

This shot, 99% in the sea 1% cleaned on MAC……100% passion

Every Angle

Just goes to show, if you wait long enough after sunset the light changes to your advantage. I’d almost given up on this night as the storm persisted  with heavy rain and thunderous clouds but experience has taught me that after a storm the clouds and sky can be at their most beautiful and breathtaking….this night was no exception. The waves were still quite strong 1-2m high and the wind was almost knocking me off my feet but the sky lit up with some beautiful colours and the waves made sea claws over the rocks. This was the last shot of the night and certainly one of my favourites from the whole trip.

Big training this weekend with  Woodhead Mountain Rescue, its our 1st Aid course, really looking forward to this, learned so much over the last few months, one of my best ever choices in life to join, great team, great work..nuff said. Please do spare a thought for us guys and girls as winter approaches, we depend wholly on charity for our gear and safety equipment. If you can spare anything at all please donate HERE

Have a great weekend

Sea Mist

During a pretty heavy storm I was able to grab this shot, there was a sea mist and then the heavens opened,  I had to hold on to my tripod as it was in danger of going over and the waves were getting more and more violent spraying my filters making the shots near impossible. All too quickly the sun disappeared beyond the horizon and darkness fell….I hobbled off the rocks with my torches on and made for a well earned cuppa.

Why would you watch TV when you can have this for FREE

Funny how some music works for me while I stand in the sea but the embedded song “Devil in Me” by Natalie Duncan was on my Iphone while I stood there, it just did it for me, see what you think

Twin Peaks

A beautiful sunset at my favorite place, Rhosneigr, Anglesey.

A very special night as the sun set sending shimmering light across the sea and casting a subtle reflection on the sea. A little unusual rock formation of Twin Peaks so I thought I’d add my little individuality with my trusty crystal ball….no jokes please!

Sorting more images for a big exhibition in Barnsley for this December in a great location, I’ll post details closer to the time. My exhibition at Cannon Hall, Cawthorne has brought a few sales so I’m very pleased with the orders there so far. Also getting images ready for a sales/exhibition in a restaurant in Rhosneigr so I better get cracking.

hope you enjoy this one anyway

Porth Y Post – Jurassic

Porth Y Post – Jurassic – As the title suggests, a very Jurassic scene at Port Y Post, I was expecting a pterodactyl to come screeching past me.

Always a very serene and emotive location for me and it will I think remain special always especially so with me seeing the seal last week as I finished the shoot, can’t believe I didn’t really take any pics of him it was such a surreal moment, I was mesmerised by the fact that this beautiful creature was staring at me almost welcoming me into his world, the moment would have been lost if I’d started snapping away, and I owed him the respect he deserved not to try and disturb his viewing pleasure. wonder if he’ll be there next time I visit.

As usual, filters reverse grad and .6 glass, cleaned only in PS

Hay Bales Sunset and Sea

At the foot of Holyhead Mountain nestled closely by the sea the farmer kindly placed some bales in perfect line of the setting sun, well I think he did anyway, although it looks calm and serene it was anything but, gale force freezing winds coming from the sea, it did however add to the sky interest. fast moving clouds called for a decent shutter speed along with my trusty reverse grad filter to enhance the beautiful sunset colours and mood.

Getting frequently asked about processing, I am looking into producing a short DVD or download of my workflow process within PS 4, 5 and Lightroom. alternatively I will be offering 1 on 1 training targeted specifically at making your images salable and print ready.
