Just back from todays group workshop in Cwm Idwal Eryri (Snowdonia) and another day of wall to wall sunshine and blue skies which is often frowned upon by photographers but drop on a polariser filter and the views were certainly striking. We visited Llyn Idwal in the beautiful surroundings of the Glyderau mountains and then walked up the path to Devils Kitchen to reach this viewpoint over Llyn Idwal looking pack to the striking peak of Pen Yr Ole wen. After lunch we spent some time photographing the waterfall at the outflow to Llyn Ogwen and whilst water levels were a little low due to the lack of rain over the last few weeks the group still made the most of the conditions with some nice images

What an incredible night of astro photography on Anglesey this was, the best ever Aurora display of the Northern lights in North Wales, an unforgettable evening of photography!

Back from an amazing holiday in Japan and top of my list of things to see was Mount Fuji. Fortunately when we arrived at Lake Kawaguchiko the views were pretty decent with just a little low cloud passing by the lower slopes. We had a couple of hours here, for food and photos, so it was a bit of a rush trying to capture something decent but here's my best attempt.

When the weather and light combine Mother nature can produce some just incredible moments and they’re special ones to spend time with the camera. This morning was forecast to be misty in the Snowdonia valleys so I couldn’t resist and early alarm call to arrive for sunrise. I certainly wasn’t disappointed with the views in the Nant Gwynant valley just breathtaking, I stayed above Llyn Gwynant for 45 minutes or so taking it all in as the wonderful mist floated and swirled above the lake and around the flanks of the mountains.
