Discover Cymru Calendar 2020

Misty sunrise in Dee Valley above Llangollen

I’m delighted to announce that my image of mist rolling into Dee Valley, near Llangollen in North Wales at sunrise has been selected to be featured in the Discover Cymru Calendar 2020. This image was taken during my second visit to the location where weather conditions were looking promising for mist, and they certainly didn’t disappoint.

Keeping to the theme of lockdown projects, here’ Keeping to the theme of lockdown projects, here’s another still life shot but this time a miniature Zen garden. The larger pebble was about the size of a 10p piece, so the scene was much smaller than it appears. The question is, does it make you feel calm? Swipe across for a behind the scenes.

A fun and surreal lockdown project, and an old fav A fun and surreal lockdown project, and an old favourite of turning fruit and vegetables into colouring pencils. This was shot on my Sony A6300 and FE 90mm f/2.8 macro lens.

The technique relies on masking, and if you can achieve an image like this in Photoshop or Affinity Photo you can create almost anything using Layer Masks. This is one of the many techniques I cover in my book, The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing, which is available for pre-order now and will be released on 8th April. For more info and to order a copy follow the link in my bio.

I processed the original version of this image in black & white because mono suits the scene well, but I needed a colour version for some work I’m doing.

Intense sunrise on Bamburgh Beach last year. This Intense sunrise on Bamburgh Beach last year. This was an incredible morning following an impressive sunset and astro shoot the previous day – the weather doesn’t often perform perfectly but on those rare occasions where it does it makes all the failed efforts worth it.
