To start a few posts from our recent trip to Norway, I’m including some sunrises and sunsets. Above is a sunset with some wonderful clouds above a snowy landscape. Then below a couple of shots of one of the many bridges that span the fjords and channels which are high enough to allow the Hurtigruten […]

One bird I’ve always wanted to see, but have never been in the right place at the right time to see, is the Kingfisher. Well now the “duck is broken”. I’ve seen a female bird in perfect lighting to show off its colour. The shots I took that morning have only heightened my interest in
At long last – a Kingfisher Read More »
A couple of shots (with reflections) of a Moorhen … … a trio of shots of three different robins … I believe. A cormorant enjoying an inland sojourn.

One of the bonuses of the canal is the still water and the reflections you get when the light is not too harsh. Here are a selection of images taken on New Years Day when Jenny and I went for the first of two walks at Forest Farm in January.

After a winter break, I’m back! First with a series of images from Forest Farm in north Cardiff which I’ve visited many times and which has a vibrant wildlife and interesting habitats lodged between the River Taf and the remains of the Glamorganshire Canal. So the first one is a shot of one of the

It’s become a bit of a favourite lens just recently. There’s not a shoot I go out on that I don’t just pop the lens in my pocket – just in case. I’m always looking for different applications of it. Shots which you just couldn’t have got any other way, and ones that in some

A bit of fun really. The ducks were feeding from the spillway as the water left the lake, I wanted to get one with it’s beak in the “silky water”, but after I’d initially seen them doing just that, they steadfastly refused to take up position again. So I changed tack and as the post

It would be a shame not to record autumn in Cardiff. Perhaps not the best for colours, but still a lovely sight. So here are a couple of shots taken in Roath Park in mid-November which I’m reasonably happy with. The one above is taken looking towards the rose garden, the one below (in

I’d forgotten to post these shots from a trip I made to mid-Wales earlier this year. I used Llanwrtyd Wells as my base and stayed in a very nice B&B in the centre of the town. Needless to say, my luck being the way it is, and it being mid-Wales, it was a bit dull,

So the workshop came to its conclusion and I hadn’t seen a clapper bridge that I could actually walk over. I had however see one at Postbridge so I determined to visit it on my way to Fingle Bridge – a location I’d researched and found to be a possibility for autumn colour. The clapper
