Sunset wasn't quite happening but a black and white version of the unmistakable Tryfan in Snowdonia reflected the mood of the evening perfectly

In Snowdonia today running a 121 workshop for Stephen, lots of atmosphere with cloud rolling over the mountain tops... the sunset teased us with some glimpses of colour

If you're interested in a photography workshop I do both group & 121 workshops in North Wales... you can find details on my website or just drop me a message

Llandudno fireworks display was pretty amazing tonight, for some reason it's the first time I've been but it certainly won't be the last. Amazing colours in the fireworks and fantastic event by the fireworks team and everyone involved. The views of the fireworks from the Great Orme above Llandudno were just stunning.

 I've been out again doing some photography for Natural Resources Wales on the LifeDeeRiver restoration project, trying to capture the autumn colours although the weather of late isn't making it easy. Fortunately there's been a couple of breaks in the weather and nice ones they were too... some gorgeous light in Llangollen and a stunning day of autumnal mist around Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Corwen a little further along the Dee Valley.

A wander around Conwy last night and some lovely reflections of 13th Century Conwy Castle in the calm estuary waters

An stunning misty morning on Chester meadows, the morning mist rolling over the town and along the River Dee

 Running a 121 photography worshop in Llangollen this morning but just had chance beforehand to catch a couple of photos of the beautiful autumn sunrise over the River Dee. First stop was Berwyn and the view of the Chainbridge and then a quick shot on the bridge in Llangollen. Love autumn, the best time to be out and about with the camera, let's hope we get some stunning colours this year!

Tim had some dramatic light this morning on his 121 Snowdonia photography workshop in Cwm Idwal.

Great to see North Wales's Slate Quarries being recognised by Unesco as a World Heritage Site today, for me they're a massive part of the character of the area, not maybe the "Chocolate box" landscapes of other parts of the UK but all the better for it.... here's a glimpse of some of the amazing views and industrial heritage to be discovered.

Running a sunrise 121 workshop this morning so 3.30am alarm again.... one lucky customer today though, you don't see Snowdon quite like this all that often... lovely misty sunrise at Llynnau Mymbyr. Just a quick handheld shot in between talking about histograms & exposure bracketing.

I've had a couple of trips out to the Horseshoe Falls near Llangollen recently taking photos for the LifeDeeRiver project I'm working on with Natural Resources Wales. Here's a selection of the photos so far, I managed to time it for some lovely morning mist floating along the River Dee.
