Another couple of places I used to visit regularly when I was a boy in Penzance. The fishing fleet may not be so large now in Newlyn, but it’s still there and I watched a boat leave harbour. I like the shot of the welder and also the colour in the rope shot. There’s also […]

I had a fair idea we were going to have a reasonably good sunset and after checking my Photographers Ephemeris worked out that Cot Valley would give me a good shot. Two other photographers must have thought the same, I was not alone. The three shots below although they are of the same scene show

Just a long the coast from Botallack, past the Geevor mine that I also visited – and which is worth a much longer stay than I was able to give it, is the Levant Mine – the site of one of the most serious mining disasters in Cornwall when the man-engine collapsed in 1919 with

Haven’t posted for a couple of weeks, but that’s going to change over the next few weeks as I schedule some posts from Cornwall and other photoshoots I’ve done recently. But first … I’ve toyed with getting a fisheye lens for quite a long time, but the cost of the native lenses for the Sony
A summer project of “Castles” set by our U3A Photography Group to supplement the overall Welsh U3A photography challenge of “Castles” took Marilyn, Len and me to the Three Castles in Monmouthshire. We started at Skenfrith – which was a bit overcast and a little dull photographically as well; had an expensive lunch at The

A couple of images which have a natural world flavour. The toad was just one of many thousands who were crawling across a path in Hundred Acre Wood in Leeds, whilst these geese seemed to enjoy swimming in line in the moat outside Caerphilly Castle.
