In the current issue (April 2016) of Digital SLR Photography there’s a lovely article about using puddles. Puddleography has it’s called “gives you an alternative view of your surroundings”. A lot of my photography uses sea water to reflect the skies so I quite like the idea of using puddles elsewhere. At the weekend we… Read More

Eagle eyed readers will have noticed that firstly there’s not been many blogs for a while and secondly the site has had a name change. The latter is due to ‘tog.co.uk’ moving on to new owners. As much as I liked ‘tog’ as a photography domain, the price was right and it’s sale paves the… Read More

Did you know you could go badger watching at Dinefwr near Llandeilo? No nor did I! I always thought that badgers came out at night and that it’d be too dark to photograph them but again that’s not the case. During the summer you can visit a special hide to watch the badgers in action…. Read More

Last week I was speaking to a landscape photographer. He explained about the meticulous planning involved in getting his shots and he mentioned using simple tools such as a map, tide times and sunset compass to determine the best times to visit locations. Using these tips – and being in the area – it seemed… Read More

Each year at Llanelli Photographic Society we have a Special Effects competition. Most effects tend to be composites done in Photoshop and that’s not something I’m too hot on. So my entries tend to be of the playing with light ilk. I quite like this style of photography and would like to do a bit… Read More

On Sunday 8th February I was lucky enough to be invited to Pembrey Country Park to shoot vampires! Creative Arts Wales were holding a photoshoot and wanted images to help promote an up and coming event that they’re planning. They wanted a selection of images using their models and were happy for members of Llanelli… Read More

If there’s one thing I’m not good at – it’s getting my images out there for people to see and building a bigger audience. The website though has had a bit of a sort out and I’ve started posting regularly on Twitter and Facebook. So now it’s time to take a look at Instagram. I… Read More
