Last weekend still saw no sign of spring with stubborn early morning mist on the coast. I headed out on The Anglesey Coastal path at around 7.30 a.m, the fog was thick in places. Everywhere was silent – you could have literally heard a pin drop, there was a very special, peaceful atmosphere. Rather than… Read more »

I have decided to take the plunge and have a go at producing some video using the Kowa MFT lenses. They have some great features that suit video production extremely well – full manual aperture and focus control and also a useful d-click feature on the aperture ring to allow for silky smooth aperture control….

Bit of  a change of subject matter for me this weekend. With the weather not being great, we decided to spend a couple of hours at a local butterfly farm. I decided to use the Kowa 25mm f1.8 lens for this trip out. I really enjoyed using the Kowa 25mm lens, the shallow depth of… Read more »

Not only are the Kowa MFT lenses built for conventional photography, they are also designed for the Videographer – with unique features like a choice of aperture… Read more »

A bright sunny morning greeted me with wonderful cloud formations.

Rather than the hustle and bustle of the pre-Christmas shopping rush, we opted to spend our time at our little retreat on the stunning North West rugged coastline of North Wales.

I visited a local area this evening – around 15 miles away are the Roaches, a prominent rocky formation in the peak district. It’s an area with dramatic rock formations that rise to over 500m resulting in stunning views. It’s a place that I really should visit more often, it’s only a half hour drive away… Read more »

A bracing walk along the northern rocky coastline of Anglesey during October/November may just result in superb views of Grey Seal and their newly born pups. We set off from Cemlyn Bay in cloudy conditions and strong coastal winds. It’s a superb stretch of the Anglesey coastal path with rugged dramatic coastline and farmland, the… Read more »

Wet and windy was probably the most accurate way to describe the weather on this particular outing. We headed to the North Wales mainland, to the heart of Snowdonia. A popular village for the walkers, Betws Y coed always looks particularly beautiful at this time of year. I wanted to get some long exposure water… Read more »
