Introduction

This site was set up to share images and encourage other photographers to go out and take pictures with the same enthousiasm as I do. In my view, taking beautiful shots does not rely on a magic talent.

To understand the basics around compositions helps but being out there, often, whatever the weather throws at you, simply makes it likely you catch a magic moment. I have been out a lot is my excuse.

If you go out for a walk just when the rain stops, and that does happen in Wales, you often find yourself in a landscape where the cloulds just start to reveal a beautiful landscape in soft tones, with bits of sunshine filtering through. Or go out early after a night fall of fresh snow that has been shaped by the wind.

I do very little (digital) post processing.
