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.
A few shots taken in the gardens at Dyffryn House on a lovely July day which we visited with our friends Chris and Carol. I was taken by the reflections created by the water drops entering the pond under the arch. I also created an animated gif of this shot which is rather interesting, I

A selection of images, ranging from building work in process in Trevi – with the disregarded poster, ardent tourists looking at Roman inscriptions in Spoleto, a hat shop and flowers in front of a ristorante in Assisi to a pair of geckos on Isola Maggiore, Lago Trasimeno.

A new start to the blog, and a new format, which I hope works for both readers and me as I continue on my photographic journey … and this set of images reflect that journey and how much I have still to learn. I spent the day near Craster with David Taylor – a present

Finally to finish off what (for me) was a rather satisfying shoot at the National Folk Museum in St Fagans, near Cardiff, a set of four images of “old friends” – some of the buildings that have been in the museum the longest. Apart from some cropping, none of these photographs has been altered in

Some texture in nature this time. A shot of some grasses which caught my eye … [EXIF: 1/50sec @ f/8; ISO 400; Sony ILCE-7R;Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA] … and then the contrast between hard, straight trees and the leafy ground (with rather nice shadows too) … [EXIF: 1/100sec @ f/9; ISO 400; Sony ILCE-7R;
