Carrying My Camera with me Every Day
I’ve been using Panasonic Lumix cameras for well over a decade. Starting with an LX-5 back in 2010, it revolutionised my photo taking. Before that, I’d been reluctant to lug […]
Winter Sunset on Brecon Road
Winter sunsets are special. A dull grey wall of cloud gives way to warmth and colour for a fleeting moment before darkness descends. They’re a reminder that whilst daylight is […]
Forest Trail in Coed Y Brenin
We stayed at Gelli Goch cottages near Dolgellau for an autumn getaway. The weather was pretty horrific throughout, but when there were some sunny spells, I was quick to get […]
Dawn Over The Pines
I love this image. Taken on a dawn walk in the summer, up on the forestry trails that skirt Nant Helen opencast mine in Ystradgynlais. It pretty much encapsulates the […]
The Sleeping Giant At Dawn
The Sleeping Giant (Cribarth) is a hill in the Brecon Beacons, overlooking the village of Abercrave. It was given its name due to its profile from the south west looking […]
Candyfloss Clouds Over Waun Gyrlais
I find a certain comfort in seeing the Beacons in the distance when travelling around Ystradgynlais, and I also love the brief optical illusion that comes from a long cloud […]
Caehopkin in the Snow
Waking to snow, I packed my rucksack and headed out into it. Up onto Cycle Route 43, then through the forestry on the edge of Nant Helen open cast mine, […]
Twilight on Waun Gyrlais Heath
This shot on the Waun Gyrlais heath with Cribarth in the distance gives me such a sense of peace. It was a cold but calm early evening and everything seemed […]
Stormlight in Penrhos
I wish there was a single word for this sort of light. The closest I can find is ‘stormlight’ – but it’s not ideal – it’s not always down to […]
After the Rain on the Trails
Not a sweeping vista or epic sky, but I love its vibe. I can almost hear the splash of my boots along the trail and the patter of droplets falling […]
Cantref Reservoir in Late Winter
Took the scenic route through the Brecon Beacons on the way back from a day out. Couldn’t help but pull over as soon as I saw this scene. The graduated […]
Rainbow Over the Estuary at Ferryside
I work a 10 am-2 pm shift today. I’m on the till closest to the entrance and through the glass I can see the weather changing by the minute — […]
Photographing Sunrise at Llansteffan
I’m awake ten minutes before my alarm is due to go off. It’s one of the benefits of being gently awoken by a sunrise simulator alarm clock, rather than being […]
Sgwd Gwladys in Autumn
As one of the easiest accessed waterfalls in waterfall country Sgwd Gwladys (Lady Falls) is an extremely popular waterfall causing the road near the Angel Inn to fill with cars […]
Lone Walker on Bannau Sir Gaer
I took a walk up to Llyn Y Fan Fach in the Brecon Beacons. Walked up from the lake, up to the ridge (Bannau Sir Gaer) and along to the […]
Worm’s Head and Rhossili Bay
Less than two weeks living back in Wales, my birthplace, and I’d travelled down to Rhossili with the intention of descending the steps down to the beach, rather than just […]
