Porthcawl storm

Huge waves crashing over the breakwater at Porthcawl harbour during a storm in 2016

Cardiff Bay

Clouds gathering over Cardiff Bay in late 2016, as the water taxi makes it's way across the bay.

Nash Point lighthouse

Only when you stand at the bottom of a lighthouse, do you really understand how tall they are. Pleased with the perspective on this image.

Heritage Coast

Glamorgan Heritage Coastline viewed from the coast path at Southerndown. A long exposure capturing the motion of the waves as the tide goes out.

Dunraven Bay

A long exposure of Dunraven Bay, Southerndown. The longer exposure time adds a mystical effect to the clouds as they move along the bay. If you look closely you can just about make out 3 people standing at the edge of the cliff top.

Southerndown rock pools

A long exposure of the pools formed in the rocks along the coastline at Dunraven Bay after the tide has retreated.

Cardiff Bay at night

A long exposure of Cardiff Bay at night taken from the St. Davids Hotel looking towards Penarth. On the right you can see the light trails of cars on the bridge as the road bends.

Summer at Nash Point

Nash Point

Nash Point lighthouse and the view across the Heritage Coastline.

Southerndown

The layers of rock in the cliffs at Dunraven Bay, Southerndown make for dramatic images. A long exposure to capture the cloud movement. To the right are two Choughs flying parallel to the cliff, a rare sight around the Welsh coast and the first time I'd seen them at this spot.

Porthcawl breakwater

Winter waves

Winter storms battering Porthcawl breakwater. I love the curl on the wave here after it has gone over the wall.

Nash Point view

A beautiful day at Nash Point, looking over the coastline and out to sea.

Monster wave

I've always wanted to photograph Porthcawl during a storm. It's the picture that all media outlets use whenever Britain gets hit by powerful storms. Last year I braved the wind and rain to finally get some shots of the monster waves. My pictures were picked up by the BBC and the Met Office to urge people on the coast to be safe. If my image prevented someone getting hurt then that makes me proud. This image was taken with a 400mm telephoto lens, so I could be tucked away safely from the elements. A fast shutter speed to freeze the wave exactly as it's seen.

Long exposure

Southerndown with a long exposure using a Lee Filters Super Stopper of 8 minutes. The vignetting around the edge of the lens adds to the drama, and draws you into the scene.
