Cricket at Harpendon

This weekend we spent visiting relations at Harpendon, and on the Sunday the local cricket team had a match on, so I managed to capture some of the action.

Ogof Ffynnon Ddu

We went caving today, into a cave known as Ogof Fyynnon Ddu which is located in the Swansea Valley, this is a shot of one of the many formations in this cave, with this one being known as the Judge.

Brampton Bryan Point to Point

Today was a lovely day weather wise, with the sun out and blue sky's, such a novelty compared to what we have had to put up with for the past few months. Anyway I took advantage of the weather and went out to another point to point race in Herefordshire, a great day of racing.

Red Kites around my home

Out working in the garden today, and these red kites came and spent a while eyeing up the local area giving me enough time to get the camera and capture a few shots.

Another walk in the Beacons

With Easter upon us, it is now the time to stay away from the Pen y Fan area of the Brecon Beacons as it will be just like walking with hundreds of other people who wish to visit the National Park, and 99% of these people only ever want to walk up to Corn Du and Pen y Fan, yet there are so many other great walks which are very rarely visited, in fact today we were out walking for most of the day and only bumped into one couple early on in the day, and a family later on, and had fantastic views all to ourselves.

2013 Welsh Photo Salon

Today I heard the results of the 2013 Welsh Photo Salon held by the Welsh Photographic Federation, I only enter four images this year, and was surprised to hear that all four had been accepted. One was given a 'Highly Commended' and the another one was given 'Best Creative Print'. The Best Creative Print was a composite image made up from my trip to Scotland where the weather was quite damp, so I managed to capture a few moody scenes around Rannoch Moor, and the Nessie was taken at the visitors centre, then with the help of Photoshop I was able to merge the two.

Lauren

At our camera club, we decided to hire a model 'Lauren' for the evening to have a go at some portraiture type shots, this was getting me out of my comfort zone, but I did enjoy having a go and came away with what I think are a few nice shots.
