  • The most beautiful, serene sunset at Gallows Point near Beaumaris, with mirror glass sea and clear water below. On the turn of the tide however, the strong currents can be seen stirring the calm Strait. The sunset is deceptive as it may look warm but the temperatures were bitterly cold.

  • Just the most incredibly tranquil scene where the Cymyran Strait passes through the tiny village of Four Mile Bridge.<br />
<br />
The colourful handful of mooring buoys looked as if they were floating in the sky, to be navigated by aircraft. <br />
<br />
I've literally never seen it this mirror-calm before, and I was SO awed by it that I screeched to a halt on the far side of the bridge and came back to photograph this amazing view. I got chatting to Janet, a retired surgical nurse who lives just a few hundred feet away from this, as she also stood mesmerised by the view. She said she'd been living there for many years and like me, had never seen it just SO perfectly calm, where usually the movement of the tide at least creates some currents and ripples.

  • Today has been hard and incredibly emotional, having attended the funeral of a very close best friend. His funeral was the biggest I've ever been to, so big that crowds had to wait outside and listen by loudspeaker. As a pole bearer for my friend, I could feel the physical and emotional weight shared by fellow bearers as we slowly walked into the crematorium, to an aptly chosen Top Gun theme tune. <br />
<br />
I sat staring at the order of service, the cover portrait one I'd taken at his retirement do just a few years before - in his element, surrounded by colleagues and loved ones, glass of red wine in hand and a damned cheeky, mischievous smile. <br />
<br />
Today he was surrounded once again, and he'd have been elated by all the wonderful, loving people, from school friends to top consultants high in the NHS, and all of us everyday folk in between. We were all there to mourn his passing, because his grin, cheekiness and gregarious personality was infectious and drew people to him. <br />
<br />
I listened to amazing eulogies from his daughter, an anaesthetist colleague and one of his professors from med school. It was hard to cry because they all related so many mischievous events from his past that made most of us smile. When his daughter Siân finally said, in Welsh, 'Sleep Well Dad' a ripple of stifled tears tore into the mourners. <br />
<br />
This evening I stood in near-freezing air before entering the cold sea, my breath backlit by the setting sun. A huge seal silently appeared just 30 feet from me and stared into my tearful eyes. An arched back rose in the molten gold and he disappeared into the distance. I didn’t swim - I just stood shoulder deep in the bitter water and studied the passing snow clouds, curtains of them against the delicate warm hues of the disappearing day. Though there were a few walkers in the gloom back on the beach there was silence, as was only right this evening - no cars, no planes, no yapping dogs, no screams from kids
    GD002880.jpg
  • The sunset is very real but I've left the rest of the exposure as the camera created it, meaning it's a little darker than reality, but I love the result because it's very much how I felt it looked at the time. I felt alone and the cold sea was a shock on entry and each time a wave came over my head, but I remained focussed on the sunset, literally, though it didn't provide any warmth at all.
    GD002878.jpg
  • I lost a wonderful & dear close friend today. I needed to make a picture to remember this day, and his life. A Caernarfon lad, born & bred, this image from Ynys Môn where he lived, across the beautiful Afon Menai to the mountains of Eryri he loved. I shot this image with tears in my eyes & they won't seem to dry up.
    GD002876.jpg
  • Nothing like the forecast, which was for heavy cloud & the chance of a shower. When I arrived at Gallows Point Beaumaris was shining in the early morning sunshine and there was a wonderful calm throughout the view. The air was a chilly 7.8º but where the sun fell upon your skin there was a luxurious warm feeling ... until you step into the sea which felt decidedly chilly at 11.3º. <br />
<br />
I towed my pro camera gear behind me but the light clouds that had been forming some wonderful shapes in the sky, cleared rapidly leaving mostly a rich blue universe above. Absolutely gorgeous to swim under but not quite the photo opportunity I'd hoped for. Nevertheless, I took a couple of simple non-art images, of which this is one, just to show the tranquil beauty of it all, so I hope you enjoy it anyway.

  • Beautiful calm morning swim on the Menai Strait. The sea was surprisingly cooler than a few days ago, down to 9.6º, but the sun’s rays were a welcome warmth on my face as I swam. I enjoyed watching small waves from my strokes surge ahead of me, and recognising that my energy was gently being transferred into the elements around me. <br />
<br />
My core temperature dropped quicker than I thought this morning and I was glad to stand on the shore re-absorbing energy from the sun. A wonderful natural cycle.
    GD002872.jpg
  • A 2.5º COLD morning at the Rhosneigr beaches, and near windless in the brilliant morning sunshine. Even from the van I could hear the crashing waves in the distance & I was getting excited. I raced to the top of the dunes and just knew it was a photo morning, though a rushed one before getting back to work.<br />
<br />
I therefore decided to wear my wetsuit to allow me to stay in longer, and was glad I did as after half hour I was feeling a bit chilly even in my 3-2. I watched a large group of lady swimmers arrive on the far beach, and judging by the endless screams and laughs the cold waves were testing them out! <br />
<br />
Sadly the waves decresed in size quite quickly as the tide ebbed but I was able to capture a handful of nice images before I headed back to work.

  • Swimming at the reef at Trwyn Du (Penmon Point) in small but powerful waves in a beautful and short-lived sunset. Three seals had just been swimming quite close to me but by the time I'd grabbed my real camera they'd moved further away. I'm always a bit wary of seals so in one way I was relieved but it would have made an even better image if one had been peering at me within these frames!

  • Today was horrendous weather .. again!!! .. with gale force winds and sheets of torrential rain. This pre-work swim had to be close, so I went back to Beaumaris to the 'relative shelter' of Gallows Point, but by heck I could still really feel the gusts and the rain pounding all around me.<br />
I swam towards the wind and chop, knowing that my return stretch would be with the wind and tide. I closed my eyes as I swam & just relished the brief bursts of sunshine on my spray-battered face. It was quite wonderful swimming with my eyes closed, it felt very dream like.
    GD002865.jpg
  • Had a hard time getting this shot as the wind was gusting over 55mph and the tide was pushing me further offshore. In the lee of The Ark i was sheltered a little from the gale but the tide was still pulling me away. I was treading water madly to keep the camera above water, but I'm quite happy with this frame before I had to really battle back to shore.
    GD002864.jpg
  • After what seems like weeks of continuous gales and rough seas, this morning was sheer calm and gentle sunshine. Even underwater had clarity. I slowly and gently swam out into the Strait and just floated there absorbing the glorious morning sunrise. I've devised a new system for towing my big camera and it's success made me so happy today, as it allowed me to properly swim without having to hold the camera in my hand all the time.

  • 60mph winds, torrential rain, heavy, dark skies. After a brilliant day rock climbing (indoors) I desperately needed a cool swim in the sea. I headed for the N E coast of Anglesey to find some shelter and calmer waters. I swam in the rain but shortly afterwards, as I stood there shivering even under my Dry Robe, the most beautiful pulses of sunset illuminated patches of the leaden sky above. As I was about to leave a local Welsh family arrived and swam under the wonderful colours of the dusk sky. I took a photo of them swimming and then some portraits of the whole family on the beach. What a lovely finish to the day.

  • Despite the chaos and bluster on the ocean surface, below there is a relative calm, windless, smooth, gentle. When you dip under, it's like hiding under a stormy blanket.

  • Early morning swim at Gallows Point near Beaumaris. In the summer I rarely swim here as it's a mecca for jet skis, powerboats and motor launches, but from Autum onwards, it gets safer and safer and more and more relaxing and wonderful.

  • Explosion after explosion of huge waves battering the West Anglesey coast in early October. Rhoscolyn Beacon on the horizon disappeared and re-appeared after each strike on the reef. The light was so soft and gentle but the sea created a dynamic and noisy contrast.
    GD002841.jpg
  • Having fun with the big October waves storming onto Tyn Tywyn beach at Rhosneigr last week. I love the compositional luck of shooting the chaos of waves, bubbles, and reflections in these fast and difficult conditions, never knowing quite what will appear when I download the disc to the Mac. So many images don't work at all but every now and then a little cracker like this one smiles at me, and I smile back.
    GD002840.jpg
  • It was a wishy-washy sunset with choppy but unimpressive waves, but I still enjoyed being in the sea anyway. Unusually for me, I've pushed the contrast a little on this frame to create more definition in the scene.
    GD002839.jpg
  • A really calm evening at Llanddwyn on an Autumn evening, hardly a soul around, amazingly so.
    GD002837.jpg
  • During a morning snorkel around Porthleven reef I was quite impressed by the pillows of bed rock below the sea surface, and how everything that we take for granted about our everyday lives, is quite literally built on it - ancient earth, ancient land, such temporary humanity.
    GD002830.jpg
  • Morning snorkel around Porthleven beach and onto the reef beneath the town quay. Minutes earlier a huge seal slowly swam past, disinterested in me but focussed on the fish that sheltered in the gullies of the reef.
    GD002829.jpg
  • Morning swim at Porthleven beach out onto the reef beneath the town quay. There was hardly a drop of wind and the sea was warm and inviting. That said, the waves pushing me across the barnacled reef was sometimes unnerving, but seeing images like this was compulsive regardless.
    GD002828.jpg
  • I really was IN this maritime play as powerful sets rolled in from the Atlantic. Just around the corner from these cliffs nestles the awesome and atmospheric open air theatre of The Minack. Here, audiences sit on stone seats hewn into the granite cliff to watch performances with the ocean as a background sound.
    GD002826.jpg
  • Surprisingly large waves came in on rogue sets at this South West Cornwall beach. It was my first time taking pictures IN the sea here, and I took a few batterings getting some of these images.

  • During the Summer months, the sun sets to the North West of Anglesey so I went there to enjoy the vast sea and skyscape in front of me, until sunset over the sea - such a beautiful scene
    GD002817.jpg
  • Despite the nutrient-rich soup of weed, algae and plankton below, the crashing waves in this narrow rocky channel became intensely beautiful walls of crystal when back-lit by the afternoon sun.
    GD002816.jpg
  • Fascinating how even small waves contain so much energy when funnelled through narrow rocky channels. It was mildly intimidating as each wave rose in front of me ready to pounce!
    GD002815.jpg
  • It was wonderful, just floating in the warm sea at dusk, not another soul in the water, watching the last moments of light intensity before the sun disappeared over the horizon.

  • Winning entry in the 2022 (33rd) SUN Shot up North Awards <br />
<br />
Last surf, last light, last person in the warm sea. A lightning storm was shocking the Snowdonia mountains, and black clouds were building over the island. I was looking into a glorious sunset, but turned to see this incredible light over the beach. I'm looking forward to more Autumn swells and more drama.
    GD002813.jpg
  • Rolling hills of warm sea at the Rhosneigr beaches, August looking formidable from sea level!
    GD002812.jpg
  • After a winter of swimming in just my shorts, there was a welcome increase in the warmth of the water, despite the continuing windy weather and choppy sea. There was a realisation that I could start to enjoy longer periods in this invigorating environment.
    GD002811.jpg
  • As Summer gets ready to turn a leaf to Autumn, the sun still attempts a warm embrace, but although the sea remains warm, cool North Easterlies remind us that change is once again on it's way
    GD002808.jpg
  • Literally being thrown around in the surf near rocks I've grown fond of over the years. They feel familiar, secure, grounding, even in the waves.
    GD002806.jpg
  • Look like nothing from above, but below the surface, this reef post stands sentinal-like on the outer edges.
    GD002805.jpg
  • The water was warm & clear (mostly) and I was in my element diving under the waves around the barnacled reef. There is so much luck with composition in this sea photography business, but amazingly this is full frame, and just worked for me, with beautiful light & colours even with waves crashing overhead.
    GD002804.jpg
  • In the hazy green sea of North Anglesey, sunlight in the water illuminated the tips of a solitary growth of seaweed, bringing sunshine into the depths.
    GD002798.jpg
  • My first ever attempt at using my underwater housing to shoot 'underwater' and in choppy seas with very murky conditions. I have never thought of UK seaweed as beautiful, but amazingly, it can be! These strands were like underwater dancers in the pulsing sets of waves, mesmerising.
    GD002797.jpg

  • I just love it when pure natural magic surprises me, on days at at times when I think there's nothing really exciting happening. It's so easy to be depressed by the bigger picture, when true joy is right in front of you.

  • What a FABULOUS morning!! Couldn't decide whether to swim or photograph, wetsuit or shorts, or even which bit of coast to visit, but after loads of procrastination I ended up in my wetsuit with my proper camera in a housing, floating around in the Menai Strait. The sun was procrastinating as much as I was, but in between HUGE slow moving clouds, brilliant bursts of sunshine illuminated the sea and its depths. Small Compass Jellyfish caused me no worry thanks to my wetsuit and my exposed hands and face were nicely warm even underwater - summer bliss!
    GD002766.jpg
  • There's something slightly unnerving about being in the sea near large rocks, where you just don't know what's underneath; it looks serene above but dark unknowns below
    GD002761.jpg
  • A last minute decision to head for the North Anglesey coast didn't deliver quite the drama that I'd hoped for, or the waves. Nevertheless the gentle, moody, subtle light and smooth, delicate ripples on the ocean offered some wonderful opportunities nevertheless. I wore my wetsuit whilst taking these images but after half an hour of near zero physical activity in the sea, waiting for the sunset, the chill set in as soon as the sun sank over the horizon.

  • Banks of cloud kept obliterating the sunshine but eventually the sun appeared and sparkled off the warm sea where I floated upon remnants of gale-blown waves.

  • Floating in dark water in Cemlyn Bay at sunset. Even at low tide the water turned deep quickly. The sea was cold and I gasped as each gentle wave rose around my neck. The brilliant sunshine kept me uplifted as the most subtle undulations on the surface reflected the warmth.
    GD002748.jpg
  • As I floated in the calm sea, looking towards the embers of an intense sunset, a fire crackled on the beach behind me. I turned to look, and a romantic couple sat huddled together around the flames, staring into the same sunset. The draw of the water, the draw of flames, there’s something eternally mesmerising about the elements to so many people isn’t there?
    GD002732.jpg
  • Such darkness, so many worries, so much choppy water, but always glimmers of wonder & positivity. As hope disappears over the horizon and we think all is lost, it's only a short time before the magnificent sun of promise appears again, reminding us that life goes on.
    GD002731.jpg
  • When I came out of the Strait this morning, 8º seawater dripping off my skin, for the first time this year the sun felt warm. I stood motionless on the limestone pebbles, in breezeless air, letting the sunlight gently warm my body. It was one of those moments when you just want to spend the rest of the day in the same location, but the gallery was calling and I sadly had to leave this perfection.
    GD002730.jpg
  • Nothing better at the coast than crystal clear seas, and finally after a winter of murky depths, the water had miraculously cleared, despite recent storms. The water had cooled again , to 7.5º which was very noticeable when taking pictures rather than actively swimming.

  • Embers of an evening fire in the sky, illuminated gentle sets of peeling waves rolling towards the beach at Hell's Mouth in North Wales.

  • Nominated in 2022 International Colour Awards<br />
<br />
Such beauty in such turmoil; drifting curtains of heavy showers backlit by the most wonderful Autumnal sunset. Spray-covered faces; salt-crusted skin, and sea-coasted glass all made for a vivid experience of nature in full flow.

  • The biggest waves I've personally ever seen at Porth Tyn Tywyn and I have walked, swam and surfed there many 100s of times over the last 20 years.<br />
<br />
On this particular morning I had gone there with the idea of body boarding what was reported to be a brilliant swell for Anglesey. The day was clear with a strong offshore wind and just a few rapidly clouds. I parked up overlooking the dunes and the sea beyond and I could already see wave tips higher than the dunes (foreshortened perspective of course) and I knew it was going off! I walked down to the reef and two surfers were being thrown about in the white water before finally getting out to the back where a strong rip was pushing them Southwards towards the bay of the burial mound, Barclodiad y Gawres. It was funny in a way watching these guys go for the surf but spend so much time just trying to keep parallel to the shore. At this point, I just knew that I was not going in! I have not body-boarded seriously for years and having had a bit of an epic attempt at Sennen in Cornwall in January in big seas it was all too intimidating for this surf-unfit body !<br />
<br />
Of course the upside to that decision is that I could guilt-freely enjoy taking pictures of the surf instead and it was just so beautiful and powerful to watch. Thankfully the offshore breeze was keeping most of the sea-spray off my lens for a change meaning that I could continue to shoot without minute-apart lens cleans. <br />
<br />
The light on the sea in the bay was sharp and intense, and the lips of the waves were backlit and sparkling against the darker sky in the background. I enjoyed studying the bands of light and dark as they created monochrome Rothko seas, large ocean canvases of abstract landscape. After an hour or more of outgoing tide, the waves noticeably reduced in height to the point where perhaps I could have gone in, but with a full CF disc I decided to head for hot coffee back in the gallery instead - wrong decision ? Probably ! :-)

  • Christmas Day 2011 - instead of pigging out on Christmas dinners and excesses of booze, I did a two hour cliff walk on North Anglesey, and battled with massive buffeting gusts of wind blowing off the Irish Sea, and sea spray sweeping over the headlands. I found a partly sheltered cove in which to eat cheese sarnies and a mince pie, washed down with hot coffee. Amazingly the rain held off for the whole walk which was fortunate but I also saw some of the only glimpses of sunshine in North Wales that day, which backlit the huge seas crashing against the Anglesey cliffs.
