Silica Mines

Today the weather was not very photogenic outside, so I decided to visit the Silica Mines near Pontnedfechan, South Wales. These images were lit up via quite a few remote flash guns being fired off by infrared slaves, some of these shots can take up to a hour to get right, rearranging the various light sources.

Hill Farm Lawnmower Race

This was the last race of the 2012 season, although this race had been rearranged a few times due to waterlogged tracks, the weather today was perfect staying dry all day. Here are a few shots from the day.

Pontsticill Reservoir

I had visited this reservoir many times over the past few weeks as the water does not very often go down this plug hole, but the lighting has not always been good. But today the light was good although the water was a bit ripply, so I used the 10 stop filter to get a 20 second exposure which smoothed out the water. 

Photographic Association of Chinsurah

Just had the results from my entries into the Photographic Association of Chinsurah International Photo Salon. I was awarded 3 acceptances, 2 were in the Colour section 'Get out the Way' and 'Mums Taxi' plus I had one in the Monochrome section 'Sun Lit Horse'.
