Photography: Newgale beach, Wales using Hoya ProND 500 filter

After the disaster of smashing my Lee filter, I went to my Hoya ProND500 filter. First time I have really used filters for landscape photography. Love the clouds and skies using them.

Newgale beach on a sunny day, kite flyers were out in full force. 

Took this shot with a Lee ND Grad filter (just before a gust of wind  knocked over my camera and smashed the filter and chipped the lens :( wasn't happy). Luckily this shot sweetened the blow

This plant started growing in our back garden, the flowers are amazing.

Photography; the Wedding photographer

Wedding photography.... having taken the photos at two weddings, I really wanted to brush up my skills, speak to a professional wedding photographer and others in the field. It was a great day, met so many like minding people and Adam Riley was our master - giving us his top tips on wedding photography - the do's and don'ts, what works for him and what doesn't. Then speaking to other photographers who have either wedding photography businesses or those who are looking to get into it.

Our models were brilliant, patient and very photogenic (always helpful)..... from the 2 hours photo shot and a couple of hours post processing these are my highlights for the day.... all set ready for the next big day.... :)
