Welcome to the “Photo Blogs” section. As a documentary photographer and blogger, I don’t simply want to show you images like other websites, I want you to experience why the photographs were taken too. For this reason the photo section is a bit special. The first section is a direct feed from my Instagram page, while the bottom section is a collection of all my photograph blogs, each containing many images. Scroll down and take a look!
My life journeys are my photography, my stories and my blogs. Feel free to look through them all and discover some great photographs.
Photography At Brecon (The People, The Cathedral And More)
Brecon, in the middle of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales is a historical garrison town. Home to the infamous South Wales Borderers, 24th Foot Regiment that took part at Rorkes Drift in 1879 (which was made famous by the film “Zulu”). It’s a beautiful town, with a cathedral, canal, ancient and modern buildings andContinue reading “Photography At Brecon (The People, The Cathedral And More)”
A Day At The River With A Vintage Lens
Ah, The Quays in Neath Port Talbot is a lovely place to visit. A circular route along the River Neath, and around near the power station back onto yourself. A diverse landscape of water, mountains, beaches and forests, with various wildlife and life on the water. It’s somewhere I’ve been many times, so for theContinue reading “A Day At The River With A Vintage Lens”
Jersey Park Forest Adventure
It was one of the warmest days of the year so far, and an uphill adventure was ahead of us, as we walked 4 miles (2 miles there and 2 miles back) to an old, unused reservoir. Getting there was 90% uphill, and combined with the heat, it was a hard walk. But it wasContinue reading “Jersey Park Forest Adventure”
My new favourite focus mode. Its fast, accurate and amazing!
I’ve always been a fan of the basic and most commonly used half press to focus mode, and re-composing if I need to keep focus, while still holding the shutter half pressed. It’s the world’s standard, and for a reason (it just works!), but I’ve been trying something a bit different lately, and it’s beenContinue reading “My new favourite focus mode. Its fast, accurate and amazing!”
Stunning Tenby And Area (Filmed In New MGA Classic Pro)
I was lucky enough to have a visit to Tenby in West Wales recently, and decided to take the opportunity to take photos of the area and try out a new Fujifilm film simulation recipe I designed. The idea of these “recipes” is to get the image to a point, in camera, where little toContinue reading “Stunning Tenby And Area (Filmed In New MGA Classic Pro)”
A visit to Pontsticill. Reservoir, trains and nature
The last time I visited Pontsticill, near Merthyr in South Wales, it was winter. There was snow on the mountains and the reservoir was full to capacity. Today couldn’t have been any more different, as there was none of that. However, it allowed for some great, and dramatic images. I have decided to do somethingContinue reading “A visit to Pontsticill. Reservoir, trains and nature”
Wildlife Down The Docks (And the power of pre-shot on the Fuji)
Went for a quick stroll down the docks, a few hundred yards from my house and decided to shoot some wildlife with the Fujifilm X-T3 and 50-230mm lens using Fujifilm’s “pre-shot” mode. Basically, it takes images while the shutter release is pressed, and then takes more when you press the shutter, so you never missContinue reading “Wildlife Down The Docks (And the power of pre-shot on the Fuji)”
Llyn Llech Owain Nature Reserve
This was the very first time I had been to Llyn Llech Owain, near Cross Hands, Llanelli, and it was a really enjoyable visit. The nature reserve consists of many acres of woodland and a large lake. These images are taken from around the lake area, which was possible with a circular route. Armed withContinue reading “Llyn Llech Owain Nature Reserve”
Using the 7.5mm fisheye lens as a rectilinear wide-angle lens (with images from Laugharne Castle)
I haven’t used my TTArtisan 7.5mm fisheye lens enough over the last few months, and it’s not because I don’t like it. I really do love the lens, how it performs and how it displays colours, contrast and sharpness. It’s because I don’t always want everything to look like a fisheye. I know it’s easyContinue reading “Using the 7.5mm fisheye lens as a rectilinear wide-angle lens (with images from Laugharne Castle)”
A visit to Laugharne. A stunning historic coastal village.
First of all, I didn’t realise it’s been 11 days since I last posted, I apologise, and I have forgotten to put up a lot of great images. So, to make up for it, I will share images from todays visit to Laugharne Castle in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. It’s a tiny, historic seaside village, withContinue reading “A visit to Laugharne. A stunning historic coastal village.”
