"Invisible Forces" Snowdon

I shot this whilst being filmed for the ITV series “The Strait” (being broadcast Autumn 2017).

I have never been in such strong winds, which according to the weather forecast were up to 75mph. The three of us involved in the filming were being blown sideways and it was hard to breath or walk let alone climb the mountain.

I had to put all my weight onto my Manfrotto tripod just to keep it from blowing over. I used fast shutter speeds, even on the tripod.

The night before, these mountains were all snow-covered, but overnight the snow had almost completely disappeared. Surprisingly, even in a gale-force Easterly wind, the temperature had increased.

I loved the variation in light and colour across Snowdon and its foothills.
