Carreg Cennen Autumn Visit

It has been quite a busy week for photography, and on my social media I have shared images from Monday where I visited the local river and docks, and from Tuesday where I went with my group to Castell Coch. It has given me a great chance to take and share some interesting and diverse images, and it has got me out of the house experimenting with standard photography and infrared photography (the reaction to the latter has been excellent!). However, today I made a visit to Carreg Cennen with my friend David, and we spent a good few hours in the moment, doing what we enjoy most… Concentrating and thinking about composition, subject and light.

Carreg Cennen Castle is a striking fortress nestled atop a limestone hill in the picturesque landscape of Carmarthenshire, Wales. The castle’s dramatic setting offers panoramic views over the lush Brecon Beacons National Park, making it a perfect destination for hikers and history enthusiasts alike. Surrounding the castle, you’ll find a patchwork of rolling hills, serene woodlands, and charming Welsh villages, each with their own unique character. The area is rich in natural beauty and wildlife, making it an idyllic spot for those seeking tranquillity and adventure. Whether you’re exploring the castle ruins or wandering through the scenic countryside, Carreg Cennen and its environs provide a captivating glimpse into Wales’ storied past and vibrant natural heritage.

All images were taken with the Nikon Z6ii and Tamron 150-500mm and Nikkor 24-70mm lenses and edited in Photoshop ACR.

I am very happy with the images from today, and the editing style I chose to edit them in, and of course I had a little play with one of the images and added a fog-like effect. I do like the 5:4 aspect ratio, and I have been using almost exclusively lately, it just looks good to me and my eyes.

Another successful day of photography over! If you like what you see, please like, comment and subscribe!
