  • A beautifully delicate seascape composed of washes of dusk light and saturated air at a near-deserted beach at Rhosneigr. Unusually, no foot or paw prints anywhere, just a wonderful expanse of virgin sand.
    GD002712.jpg
  • The rolling silver waves at Porth Nobla carved their way inland, separating the foreground dunes from the spray softened, historic and undulating landscape of West Anglesey. The ancient burial mound of Barclodiad y Gawres lies on the headland, just right of the frame.

  • One of a very short series of images taken whilst I was being filmed being interviewed by Jamie Owen for a BBC Wales documentary series on Welsh Landscape. It was difficult trying to talk and shoot at the same time but the light was so amazing that I couldn't help shooting these four of five frames for real. They have subsequently been filmed for inclusion within the program!

  • Although no longer a bird-watcher, it was amazing the number of gulls, ducks and waders which could be seen sheltering on the Malltraeth Estuary. The wind was strong and bitter, even in low afternoon sunlight but the place seems like a haven for everyone and everything on it. The mountains in the background give you some idea of the contrast between the low lying lands of Anglesey and the height of the Cambrian Ranges in the far distance.

  • An expansive Braint Estuary, Llanddwyn, Isle of Anglesey, at mid tide still exposing acres of sand just a few centimeters below the surface. The sea lies beyond the range of sand dunes in the distance, as do the hills of the Llyn Peninsula and the well known 3 peaks of Yr Eifl on the mainland.

  • So beautiful & romantic in the warm afternoon sunshine, but a frightening place to be in the depths of winter when huge waves pound over this granite quay. People have lost their lives from this quay.

  • Huge storms rip up the kelp and churn it with the sand, the fronds disappearing into the sand but the stalks sticking up like strange sea worms!

  • A thousand + miles from anywhere, these volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean can create orographic rainclouds at any time of year. However, this plus the warmer climate gives rise to lush vegetaion and spectacular greenery and plant life. Flores means Flowers!

  • An unexpectedly beautiful sunset after an evening walk to Ynys Llanddywn. We sat amongst the rocks at the point with our coffee, but within minutes a huge cloudbank appeared, stole the sunshine, and gave place to the cold ENE winds. We finished quickly and started the walk back to the main beach, but as we did so the sun re-appeared beneath the cloud and spilled the most gorgeous, lush light across gentle, grass-covered foreground and sets of small waves bending across the bay. It was all beautiful, but the crazy, white, shell-covered paths around the island really are the most wondrous of creative devices, so I had to include one in my shot.
    GD002972.jpg
  • A very rushed race to the beach for a swim that never happened, but I did grab my camera and revelled in an amazing sunset, despite the disappointment of not getting into the sea!
    GD002835.jpg
  • I'm always so grateful, that even during periods of great lows, some surprising and exceptionally wonderful moments present themselves, uplifting us and making our hearts beat faster, for good, positive reasons, not for reasons we may have been facing beforehand. <br />
<br />
At an extreme low tide, the lowest I've ever seen on this beach where even a distant boat wreck seemed reachable, I was quite simply blown away by the sheer beauty of the surreal landscape exposed.

  • Storm surge from Storm Eunice, combined with high Spring tides, resulted in the Menai Strait flooding the road between Beaumaris & Llangoed on Anglesey with 2-3 ft of seawater. Only the biggest vehicles managed to push through.<br />

  • There are some images that really should be video, not stills. I think maybe this is one of them. I like the image but only because of my memory of the event; sheets of sand were lifting in the gale and blowing at high speed towards me. The stream was almost gurgling as it tumbled to meet the sea and a flock of geese were chatting to each other as they dabbled in the pebbly sand pools. There was so much going on and so much to hear that I'm not sure any still image begins to describe the beauty of it all. <br />
<br />
I have a feeling that I really need to start shooting 'moving stills', not video as such, just still frames where the world moves within the frame. To share my experiences with others, I feel there are occasions where extra information is needed, audio & movement at least. Now HOW do I record & synchronise the sounds of my scene with the camera - a whole new world of learning & I'm not sure I have enough years left to learn!

  • An ocean swell only shows it's energy as it reaches the shoreline and wraps around a swimming platform on the shore of Playa Blanca in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The aquamarine sea is crystal clear and you can see the reef beneath. Lobos Island and Fuerteventura can be see on on the horizon.

  • On a baking hot day we drove into the sunset across the rugged high cliff tops of West Portugal. Jani sat in the van to call her Mam whilst I wandered down to the rocky cove. As I walked out to the low tide mark, i realised the beach was absolutely massive, miles long to the North and pure sea washed sand. The cliffs looked even higher when looking back at them. The day as usual had been clear blue cloudless sky, so it was an extra bonus to see delicate clouds gently sliding Southwards across the horizon. I had the whole beach to myself and was in seventh Heaven. <br />
<br />
However, when i turned to walk back to the car I noticed a young man curled up against the cliffs, clutching a beer bottle and looking most melancholy. I know that when I go into my dark patches, the beach becomes my salvation, my escape and my remedy - I empathised with this guy who had come miles to see the sunset on this spectacular and deserted coast.

  • Short sunbursts during extensive periods of rain and dark skies over the Irish Sea seen from Holy Island. Even the brightest patches were heavy rain.

  • Barnicle and mussel covered rock surrounded by a clear sea water pool, in pristine sand at Llanddwyn Island, West Anglesey, Wales
    GD000813.jpg
  • And so it was, at about 4.00 pm, I headed for the West Coast of Anglesey, as usual, to catch the dipping sun. I turned up at one of my favourite spots and ambled, totally arbitrarily along the shoreline, enjoying the water, the sounds, the heat and colours of the warm sun and the glistening rocks emerging from the receding tide. Funnily enough, the stark sunshine, at this time of day, at least creates strong shadows, long shadows and sparkling sea tops. As it sank lower the colours intensified further and amazing hues resulted, almost, but not quite unbelievable.

  • Dramatic weather at Traeth Llanddwyn after a less than promising, dreary day on Ynys Môn. A quick walk to the tip of Ynys Llanddwyn and a winter swim, before a lovely near dark walk back to the van, satisfied, happy
    GD002902.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.
    GD002856.jpg
  • 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
  • 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.
    GD002814.jpg
  • Some good-sized summer surf after two days of strong winds. The surf was short-lived but in the warm water and evening sunshine it was brilliant whilst it lasted.
    GD002783.jpg
  • Another of those wonderful moments when a dreary day gets blown away by strong winds and the sun is allowed to burst through and spread its glory. Wide-eyed and a heart full of joy, I relished everything about this chance event

  • When the magical, and literally 'awesome' moments of sunset mirror in virginal wet sand, it’s quite genuinely hard to beat. Double the beauty, double the drama, double the emotional response. It's just a beach, the sea and a ball of gas, so why is it that we as humans are so drawn to these simple elements when combined?
    GD002336.jpg
  • After weeks of dull wet weather during a British summer, the sun burned brilliantly today, and I could see clearly into the crystal sparkling light - everything seemed perfect from companionship to warm seas.

  • Wonderful, weird weather. They'd forecast fog for the west coast, but I didn't know how it would really look when there. I went for my daily 365 swim, but this time decided to take my sea camera in with me. The conditions were beautifully ethereal and utterly captivating, but as I was only wearing my swim-shorts this meant I was cooling down noticeably as I was making images, so I had to stop, regrettably. After getting dressed and swapping for my ‘land’ camera, the fog became thicker and thicker, with just hints of sunshine burning through the fog in light brush strokes, until the sun disappeared altogether, and darkness of dusk took over.

  • A windy evening at Llanddwyn beach. Once again the sun disappeared behind a huge cloud bank, but the sunset still tried hard to put on a show. I've never seen a sand stream as big as this before at Llanddwyn , feeding one higher pool, into another lower pool, before it finally drained out to the sea.
    GD002957.jpg
  • It seems to have been a long cold, often gale-blown winter, but I'm dreaming of long happy days in the sunshine, where our hearts and heads find it easier to overcome the clouds of anxiety that face so many of us these days.
    GD002949.jpg
  • After a morning swim at Traeth Moelfre, I walked round the busy little headland past the new lifeboat house. A flotilla of colourful kayaks who had been chatting on the beach for an hour or more, finally set off for the open Irish Sea on super calm waters - until they rounded the peninsula and found the tide in full flow!
    GD002946.jpg
  • The sea today was incredibly calm, and although the air temperature was just 6°, the Menai Strait looked ever so tempting as I drove up to the layby near Gallows Point. I could see my two blue buoys that mark the entrance to the Gallows Point boat yard, very gently swaying in the incoming tide. There was a brightness in the atmosphere, even though the weather wasn’t obviously beautiful, and the deep water from the currently extremely high tide was lapping up to the boat yard itself. This meant I had to go over the wall and step straight into the sea. I love this beach at high tide when I know there’s no seaweed to tickle my skin and no rocks or silt underfoot.

  • 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.

  • I was fascinated by the gentle, minimal arrangement of the buoys below Bangor Pier but the two gulls suddenly coming into view in the morning fog, completed a wonderful oval arrangement.
    GD002769.jpg
  • 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!

  • I couldn't get over the sheer numbers of gulls that were diving into the sea as huge waves crashed over the reefs at Trearddur Bay. They didn't seem perturbed when engulfed in spray or emerging from the surf. I can only assume that the fish were quite bemused by the ocean above and were easy picking for the gulls
    GD002714.jpg
  • On an incoming tide with heavy seas rolling in from the West, I took a bit of risk to get this shot, clambering onto wet rocks where huge waves  were crashing all around me. The light was fleeting due to the cloud cover and I had to leave the rock as big rollers started splashing right over me. I grabbed this last frame as the  sun disappeared for the rest of the evening.
    GD002685.jpg
  • Absolutely taken aback by the level of flooding in these normally bone dry sand dune valleys. The warm early Spring sunshine was clearly inspiring the skylarks as there were dozens of them, singing their little hearts out. It made me happy thinking about the Summer, and I hope they were as happy as I was.

  • Simple minimalism of a lone figure jumping waves at Porthcurno in South West Cornwall.
    GD001495.jpg
  • A quick detour down to Llanddwyn to photograph a huge dark snow-cloud floating over Ynys Mon, but although a sprinkling of delicate snowflakes blew past me, the snow-clouds simply disappeared, a calm sunset taking its place. The multitude of colours within the mass of pebbles in this area is quite something to consider. The wonder of geology.
    GD002595.jpg
  • GD002335.jpg
  • Though the sea never looked tumultuous and the swell height was rarely over two foot, the power of the explosion as the swell hit the rocks continued to surprise me. The stored energy in the waves was suddenly released on obstructions, rather than dissipated across long shallow beaches. In this shot, I love the way the wave appears to blend with the cliff and rise up to the cliff top. I always enjoy being on the beach after being in the mountains. I need to see the movement of the waves and hear their crash on the shore. Landscape always seems so much more vibrant on the coast.

  • Just a few days to go until Wales finds some sort of normality before the next national lockdown! The weather seems to be reflecting my / our moods at present, one minute dark clouds, rain and even hail, but the next, glorious sunshine and even a hint of warmth on your wet face. Shallow pools seemed deep and menacing but upon the surface glowed patches of clean sunlight. These rippling islands of gentle light reminded me that the sun will keep on rising and falling despite everything, and that life goes on, with or without us.
    GD002551.jpg
  • Tonight I was accompanied by a daft crow. As I walked at high speed to catch an unexpected last burn of sunshine at Llanddwyn, a large crow on the water’s edge thought that the best way to escape his human companion was to keep flying just ahead of me. As I got closer he’d take off and fly another 20 feet. He did this almost the whole length of the beach until I reached the island, when finally he worked out that flying the opposite way from me meany he was left in peace. I I found myself chuckling as I called him a daft bird under my breath. <br />
<br />
The light on the other side of the island was short lived but intensely beautiful.
    GD002531.jpg
  • Just love it when shapes and patterns come together and create dynamic compositions.  Warm colours during a very cold evening on this West Anglesey beach last week.
    GD002414.jpg
  • After a brilliant afternoon of rock climbing with Jani and her daughter, we were all buzzing with excitement. The weather had been dreary most of the day, but after Sioned and her man had sadly boarded the train back to Liverpool, Jani and I didn’t want the day to end. We first went to Trwyn Du to see the famous lighthouse but there were far too many noisy people there to enjoy, so we headed for the expansive bay of Traeth Coch and were lucky enough to see this spectacular view. At this time of year the sun sets much further to the right, illuminating the sand cusps along the vast beach.
    GD002312.jpg
  • It was a calm, silvery sea at dusk. There was hardy a drop of wind and the air, for April, was warm enough. It was near silent on the beach, just the distant voices of a couple walking in the dunes behind. <br />
<br />
I’d hoped the sun would have been a little more intense having raced across Anglesey to get to the beach, but everything was delicate and muted. From the sea bed, remnants of energy pulses from ocean storms thousands of miles away finally reared up and gasped a last breath on the shingle shore. <br />
<br />
I stood on some low rocks at the waterline and watched the sea tide slowly come in around me. Every so often a rogue bigger wave would crash over the rock and I’d lose sight of my feet in the white foam. Against the brighter surface of the sea, these little hillocks of water looked dark in their own shadows.
    GD002184.jpg
  • August, the holidays in full swing. The sun is clear in the sky and the sand is warm. I walk barefoot through deep pools on the beach and it’s like standing in a bath. There is something about shimmering water that mesmerises me, and I wish the still photo could show that iridescence

  • Snip from blog: "As the light dropped even lower, and I realised my new Petzl head-torch might be used for real for the first time, low level contrasts and longish exposures actually ignited some interest in me, and I even had fun deliberately using my head-torch light on the dark foreground waters. This light was my mark - my signature that I was there, fighting to show my existence in an advancing nothingness. I saw this as a metaphor, in that sometimes there is a necessity to make one's light shine, no matter how incongruous, in the never-ending global story of repetition, emulation and predictability :-)"

  • Shot a few evenings ago in a very strong breeze at the wild, windswept Aberffraw beach. I had to battle to get down the river to the exposed beach, where wind-blown sand was whipping my legs. <br />
<br />
At the water's edge on the right-hand side of the beach, there were swamps of algal foam being pushed by the incoming tide. The sun had disappeared behind a huge cloud bank, so I nearly turned around and went home, but feeling I needed a walk anyway, I kept going, walking towards the far side of the beach. I passed another photographer, loaded down with heavy gear, and we chatted briefly in the gale. He was also disappointed at the dying sun. <br />
<br />
Amazingly, burns of sunset were pulsing through the cloud bank, and wonderful shaped dark clouds now moved across the sky, shadows reflected in the acres of wet sand. There was just one point where these beautiful eel-like ripples of sand snaked their way across the inch deep water, and it made my evening. I was so glad I'd kept walking.
    GD002956.jpg
  • The tons of broken white seashells that are used to mark paths on this stunning rural island off the coast of Anglesey, really characterise the location. The winding paths from hill-top to lighthouse can be seen clearly even in half light and create a surreal sense of security when alone at night. The lighthouse is no longer used but has become an iconic landmark for millions of people to visit.
    GD002939.jpg
  • It's so often when you put your camera away, that you suddenly see something that demands another photograph - and so it was this evening, when a beautiful half moon rose over the bay at Llanddwyn that was lit with pink sunset.

  • The sea today was incredibly calm, and although the air temperature was just 6°, the Menai Strait looked ever so tempting as I drove up to the layby near Gallows Point.

  • The most beautiful, serene sunset at Gallows Point near Beaumaris, with mirror glass sea and clear water below. The sunset is deceptive as it may look warm but the temperatures were bitterly cold.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Always surprising to see the dramatic difference between the shining gentle seas of Summer in holiday resorts, and the powerful, driving surf between Autumn & Spring as nature shows who's boss.
    GD002834.jpg
  • The sea has dropped to 15.3º now, but I still enjoyed a warm swim despite the rain & Autumnal weather. A different sort of beauty is making an appearance once again.

  • 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.

  • Summer evenings at Rhosneigr, almost impossible to avoid the crowds on the main beach so finding moments like this when people have moved away, requires so much patience, and hope!

  • No, this isn't a stupidly processed sky - it was the strangest light at Llanfairfechan, looking back towards a totally clouded Anglesey. We wanted to get out for fresh air after work on yet another dreary day on Anglesey. On impulse we headed for a 'brighter patch' in the sky over the Conwy area. As we arrived at Llanfairfechan the sun was shining brilliantly, even though it was cloudy and drizzly everywhere else. It resembled a Hollywood fantasy film where you drive from one reality to another world entirely. <br />

This particular image was after the intense sunshine had disappeared, but it was still illuminating the Menai Strait.

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!
