A Walk in the Beacons

Storms came in and out all day today, but it made for a nice walk in the mountains.

Last Lawnmower Race for 2014

This was our last race of the year on a purpose build track on private property, which even had a jump which made for some interesting shots.

Lightning Strike

We had a thunderstorm here in the Brecon Beacons tonight, and I managed to capture this strike.

Lawnmower Racing

Todays racing was at The Barons Cross in Leominster, it was a tight track which made for some interesting overtaking manoevre's.

Dartmoor

We had a week away at Dartmoor, weather was not great, but managed quite a few good walks to the various standing stones in this area.

Polocrosse

Popped along to the Welsh Dragons Polocrosse to watch another one of there practise sessions.

Brecon Fringe

The Brecon Fringe festival always happens every 2nd weekend in August, it is always a great family event with music taking place at loads of venues around Brecon.

Cricket at Harpenden

Whilst visiting family at Harpenden, I managed to slip out for a few hours to watch a local cricket match.

Lawnmower Racing

We had another great day of racing today, although the track was very hard on the mowers.

Wartime Event at Blanavon.

The Blanavon and Pontypool Railway put on a wartime event over the weekend of 12th/13th July, weather was good and they had a good turnout of visitors.

Polocrosse

I popped along to our local Polocrosse training event, these girls and guys really enjoy their sport and it also makes for a great photographic event. I will look forward to re-visiting again soon.

New Inn Lawnmower Race

Another great day of racing was had today in fine weather. This all happened at The New Inn pub.

A Stream on the Beacons

Popped out today for a walk and managed to capture this small waterfall in the Central Beacons area, as the light was quite bright, I managed to use my 10 stop filter to try and smooth out the water of the stream.

Ogof Draenen

Today's caving trip involved a 11 hour trip underground, heading to a area known as War of the Worlds. On route we passed through a area known as The Snowball series with lots of white Gypsum over the walls and floor. Once at War of the Worlds we visited 'Senderon Luminoso' which has some very delicate fine formations.

Trefil Quarry

Took a walk up around Trefil Quarry today, it was a lovely day weatherwise making for a very enjoyable walk,

Brecon Beacons Walk

Today we had a great walk up in the Beacons along the ridge towards Fan Big.

Ogof Ffynnon Ddu

I meet up with a couple of friends off Facebook who had shown a interest in some of my underground photography shots, and as neither of them had been into a Wild cave before, they both found it very interesting. Anyway after lugging quite a bit of camera kit and lighting around with us, we set ourselves up in various locations and played around with lighting to get the effect that we wanted. I felt that this particular image worked quite well, capturing the falling water which was lit up with a led light, and the rest of the scene was lit up via two flashguns.

Straw Gallery

This shot was taken on today's caving trip using a simple point and shot camera along with one single remote flashgun, which was held at arms left from the left.

Brecon v St Peters Rugby

The weather was not very nice today with heavy rain and strong winds, but our local rugby team played on against St Peters.

The Mountain Road

I had to drive over the mountains today, and whilst driving the sun popped out through a hole in the cloud lighting up the wet road.
