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”

But we were surprised when we discovered, not onlyContinue reading “Aberthaw, a place of three very different areas (in NEW Vintage Summer Chrome recipe)”

Firstly, no video today. I am still not feeling 100%, so I didn’t record any video today. We took a long, long walk to an area we have been twice before. It’s not really a place I can say I enjoy visiting, but I managed to get some photographs from it! Kenfig Pool is aboutContinue reading “A day at Kenfig for Infrared, HDR and a long, long walk!”
