Above: Pulled Again (Anglesey)


As a last resort, I left the reef and headed for the beach as the sun dropped really low on the horizon. I deliberately stood in the wave line so that I could justify wearing Wellies, and within minutes suddenly realised that waders are in fact a better bet for my sort of photography as one Welly filled with cold sea water!!


I can’t get over how quickly the light levels dropped so I shot off a few frames as two holes in the sky closed in on each other. I was fascinated by the patterns the water made on the ‘outgoing’ pull rather than the incoming push and the EV values meant I was able to use shutter speeds of around 4 seconds at maximum apertures before the evening drew to a close. My hands were frozen to the tripod when I got back to the van and as I turned the heater up to full, heavy sleet threw itself in front of the headlights as I turned onto the A5.


Below: A Light Push


A last minute decision to slog up Mynydd Mawr on a mixed weather day resulted in just the most fantastic hour of weather watching from its summit. I was utterly gripped by the continual theatrical change being played out across the Snowdonia Range. If it were not for my friend feeling rather chilly I think I’d have braved another hour or so of just sitting and watching.
