[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] It was a lovely clear evening and I thought it was about time I shot the Esplanade (the sea front) at Penarth, with it’s wonderfully restored pier. Unfortunately, just as I setup with the tripod to catch …
[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] There are some who specialise in this sort of thing, and I admire them hugely. Some hurtle across the interior of the USA just to capture twisters and lightning strikes. In the UK this sort of thing …
[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] Another week, another holiday! The relief of the end of lockdown and we made it to Llŷn for a week holiday at Nefyn. A few half-decent shots, but more important than that was having a break from …
Another “technique” shot! High-up on Marten’s Tower, no tripod to hand, can I do a hand-held pano-shot. You bet I can! Really pleased how this turned out. I could have rested the camera on a wall I suppose, but I’d have lost quite a bit as I swung the camera round, so I tried to …

A selection of images taken in the Physic Garden in Cowbridge using my 90mm F2.8 Macro lens (hand held) with varying settings that you can see by clicking on an image in the carousel.
This must be one of the most photographed lighthouses in the UK. I must have shots from at least three visits to it. So, the challenge was to try and find a different view or perspective to take it from, and make use of the early afternoon May light. The tide was out revealing rock …
First, an apology. A bit of a glitch with the images for the previous post (and others on the site). Hopefully resolved. Not much to add to these images from last year. It’s been great to see these “little critters” on our patio. Although I have a wildlife camera, these were taken with the Sony …
[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] We lived in Yorkshire for 7 years, but Aysgarth was just that too far from Doncaster or Leeds (later) to visit for the day, and it was just too far off the route from Cardiff to the …
