The Climb
This is a nice one I pulled out from a trip to Pontneddfechan in South Wales. There’s another version I edited up on flickr, but sadly the original had serious issues to begin with since I shot this in .JPG mode. Still, I quite like the angle of this shot so it’s worth sharing for [...]
The quiet by the falls
Sgwd Y Ddwli – Pontneddfechan, Wales
Pontneddfechan (Welsh language meaning : bridge over the lesser River Neath)
Another update then, this time from a shoot I did a few days ago. Continuing with my attempts to stay out of auto(matic) modes and into the manual more often, I did probably make a few blunders taking a few [...]
Into the Forest
Well it’s been a while since I updated, but I assure you that’s because I’ve been swotting up on photography. I’m taking my camera out of the easy modes these days and trying my hand at the manual setting. That means lots of mistakes, but the upside it it gets me thinking about how to [...]
Bordeaux by dusk
This is probably one of only a few salvageable pictures I took on my trip to France. Unfortunately during those days I was still deluded to think I could be a photographer with only a mobile phone. Some may say I am still deluded while I use a bridge-slr, but that’s really ok because at [...]
Butterfly
I took this picture of a butterfly in Bristol Zoo, and because this was a walk-in enclosure I was able to spend some time getting close up to take macro shots. I liked the way this one turned out with some cropping.
I don’t have any more information to share about the butterfly, as I took [...]
Rusty Old Thing
This is an interesting one I found in the archives. Took this while waiting for friends to re-emerge from the caves at Clearwell. It’s really a dis-used mine, but that’s another issue…
I took the opportunity to grab a number of shots of abandoned industrial stuff lying about outside. This thing, whatever it was, did probably [...]
From Gretna Green to Edinburgh
I stopped a few times on the way back from my sister’s wedding in Gretna Green to snap a few pics of the lush Scottish countryside. As you see here, we’re in the low-lands as opposed to the highlands which Scotland is arguably famed for (in terms of awe-inspiring landscapes and mountains).
We took the scenic [...]
We go to War
I had a really very interesting day out visiting the Roman Amphitheatre in Caerleon. The Re-enactment unit were marching toward me while I was taking pics of some Birds of Prey that were stationed in a side-stall with their ‘Falconer’.
I just had to get a pic of these guys up close and so I [...]
The cat that walked by herself
So, I thought I’d kick off my animals category with a pic of my cat, Milly. Now, it you can find a moment where a cat is sitting still then you can try and capture a pouty look, or perhaps another one of the presumptive emotions we place on their looks. Either way, it can [...]
Barbados at Dusk
Here’s another pic I took on an old point and shoot. Not a very clear photo, but it still has a nice atmosphere to it. Actually, the original image was a little bit more monochrome, and I photoshopped this one to bring out the colours. You can see the original on my flickr. Let me [...]
Hey!
Welcome to my photoblog! I'm Andy, an amateur photographer from Cardiff, Wales. Continuously learning and letting rip with post-processing. Hope you enjoy the pics!
