Today I want to show you two photographs of the town of Llandudno in North Wales. It is the largest seaside resort in Wales and is on the Great Orme peninsula. The above view is looking towards Conwy and the photo below shows Llandudno South Parade (on the north shore) with the twin mounds of…

Something a little different. I often photograph signs, posters and and information about what I am photographing and where I am. For example, in Zoos taking a quick snap of what the animal is, or when photographing a church taking a shot of its name. When you take thousands of photos a year it becomes…

I have never seen rocks with such colour on a beach before. I am not sure what caused the bright red of the stone, but it was really enhanced when the waves ran over them. This is a small beach between St. Abb’s Head to the north and St. Abb’s harbour just a few hundred…

This is the second photograph on this site of Southport Pier in as many years and as many of you know I am always trying to improve on the older images. The above photo was taken a couple of months ago on a day trip to the coastal town of Southport in the north west…

Believe it or not there are four people in this photograph. I had walked down to the beach at Abersoch to get some sunset and evening light images. It was as I was walking back to the house that I turned back towards the sea and saw this scene. If you can’t make them out,…

This time last week I travelled from Edinburgh up into the Scottish highlands to a small village on the west coast called Plockton. It describes itself as “The Jewel of the Highlands”. It was my first trip north of Edinburgh and I quickly realised that the potential for good landscape photography is almost endless in…

Mark suggested a day trip to Southport; until I arrived it had completely slipped my mind that there was a great opportunity to take photos of the skate park from the pier. Last year I took a photo of a guy jumping the spine ramp. Today was much better, the light was fantastic and in…

Llandudno has been one of my favourite coastal places to photograph so far this year and although I only spent a few hours there, I feel that I have a lot of images to share. This picture caught my eye because of the sweeping curve of the sea on the sand. It was very deliberate…

Perspective is something I love using in my photography, the rule of thirds doesn’t really apply to the above image as the main focal point is in the middle centre. When walking down the pier I noticed it was very quiet, probably because it was an extremely windy Friday morning last Autumn. The lines of…

This was taken as a test photograph. I was testing my camera on a long exposure and checking my manual focus was giving me a sharp image, waiting for the sun to go down and for the International Firework Competition to start. In my opinion this is probably my favorite “happy accident” photograph that I…
