Long time no see Ryland .... We have had so few members posting  in the last few months , it is causing us some concern on the Forum so it is good to see you back and with a  super set of landscapes . As Kerry says .... Lovely light! 

I have  had a number of issues that has prevented me from spending the amount of time on here that I usually  do  over the past 3 months as  have a few other members. ....so it's good to see you again recently Monkey ... 

Im glad to be back...I'll get sally on here too as shes getting me out every weekend .. I gotta post process her images(with her standing over my shoulder) as she cant do it yet.

its  been a while since i been on here....i kind of gave up on life and withdrew into my self and became a hermit..didn't enjoy going going out with the camera so i stopped going out  and put on even more weight .........life started to turn around when i decided to get my motorbike back on the road which was rotting in the shed ...a couple of hundred quid later i was out enjoying some long rides and starting to enjoy life again.....the thing that really turned my life around was meeting my girlfriend  and its been a whirlwind since i met her.... I've lost weight and can now walk more than a hundred yards , I've moved in with her and  her dog ..got engaged and everything seems to slot into place with us ..she loves taking photos but never had a proper camera so it was time for an upgrade for me so she could have my old one and as she's new to wales we're out every weekend with the cameras so i got a few months of trips to post and a trip to Scotland booked next month so you'll be seeing a lot more of me in the future

these are some of the panoramic shots i took on my trip to scotland

Thank you... As for Shutter speed I only got a 10 stop nd filter so I'm stuck with whatever Shutter speed work with it 

Thank you very much.. Like I said the idea for this one happend by accident... I sat down on a picnic bench and put my tripod beside me and it was pointing at my friend and the dam... She wasn't central but the idea popped in my head to get her central and then the shouting and pointing started as I tried to direct where she was over the roar of the water but I got there in the end 

Thank you....I was watching this cloud all afternoon in work and saw that there was no wind so I was so hoping it would kick off at sunset and get a reflection ....I called it right

rushed to broad pool after work to catch an awesome sunset

there is a small road near me ...a lifetime of memories and stories on a stretch of road about 3 miles long ..i get some pics done when i'm out on the ebike down there next

took a trip down to cwm yr eglwys a few weeks ago and as i got there it started hammering down so last weekend i tried again ....and got a few nice pics

had a week off work and decided to go on a cycle ride up the neath canal  with my ex girlfriend

and one my ex took of me

I half expected to see you there Ryland

you would have needed the widest lens you got to get all of me in frame

cracking image of one of my favorite places on gower

very nice

It was just by the steps by the side of the pier down to the beach... It was a single story building from the steps backing into the cliff

Ohhhhh I have been there hundreds of times... A few weeks ago there was a fire that burned down the old nightclub that I used to frequent on a regular basis in my twenties  .... Lot of good memories at the pier... Shame cinderellas burnt down though 

love a moody sky .. great image
