Keen amateur photographer based in Cardiff, South Wales. Prints are available of all images.

My primary interests are landscapes and seascapes, and on the rare occasion the night sky is clear, astrophotography.

High Force waterfall, Teesdale, County Durham.

Lots of storm shots doing the rounds today. I’m away from home at the moment so thought this was a good excuse to repost an old favourite from Porthcawl. (Storm Callum, Porthcawl Pier, Oct 2018).

Another shot from last Friday night (16.10.26) in County Durham. The Milky Way over the River Tees , just a few hundred metres downstream from High Force waterfall. Such a beautifully clear night…

High Force waterfall in Teesdale under the Milky Way during a beautiful clear night in County Durham last Friday (16.10.26). First shot comprises a stack of 17 lights and 5 dark frames, processed in SLS, PS and LR. Each shot 20s @ f/2.0 ISO2000 FL20mm. Second shot, same details for the sky, combined with a single shot at ISO800 for the foreground when they turned the flood lights on the waterfall!

Great article in the Times about how Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites are ruining the night sky…

One from earlier this year - the Milky Way over Church Rock.

A Red Kite above Llanddeusant in the Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons earlier this year. Quite like this head on view!

Last night’s full harvest moon (26.09.26). I had originally planned to take a timelapse of the moon rising behind the Sugarloaf in the Bannau Brycheiniog/Brecon Beacons, however, despite a beautiful clear evening there was a layer of stubborn cloud sitting right where the moon rose above the horizon. I eventually gave up and just as I got back to the car the moon started to appear through the cloud! This is a single shot taken with a Sigma 150-600mm zoom lens.

Enjoying a moonlit evening above The Cauldron on the South Pembrokeshire coast. A spectacular part of Wales that becomes otherworldly at night! In shots like this I often like to get a figure into the picture to create a sense of scale. In this case, it’s me (!) using a remote linked to the camera which was set up on a tripod at the top of the adjacent cliff.

Solar Mosaic. Thought I’d create a piece of eclipse art - seven shots from the recent solar eclipse overlayed and arranged around the silhouetted moon. This image really does demonstrate that amazing natural coincidence in that whilst the Sun is 400 times further from Earth than the Moon, its diameter is also roughly 400 times that of the Moon, so they both look the same size when viewed from Earth.

The individual shots were taken from a timelapse I took of the eclipse using a Nikon Z6ii body and a Tamron 50-400mm lens fitted with a K&F Concept ND100000 solar filter, mounted on an MSM Nomad tracker. Each frame had the same exposure: 1/1250s @ f/8.0 ISO160 FL400mm.
