The Eagle Has Landed

After quite a few years of people telling me "you should sell your photos", I have set up a website to promote the photography side of things:

A return to Conwy to try my hand at some night photography again. Looking across the Quay towards the Castle from the Town Walls.

Once more into the night...

Practising again with my Night Photography, so a brisk walk up to the top of Pen Y Dinas overlooking Llandudno and a bit of a wait for dusk to fall. It was very cold! Still, some nice pics resulted, here's one of the town just after dusk. It looks much more impressive at full size but it wouldn't fit on the blog, unfortunately, so a much smaller version is all I can show you. I was using the Nikon D700 with Sigma 15-30mm wide angle lens:

Llandudno Welcomes You?

The sight in the photo above has been a welcoming one for visitors to Llandudno since the 1950s. The illuminated sign at the top of Penrhyn Hill gives visitors and residents alike the feeling that they have nearly reached their destination.

So...why hasn't it worked for weeks? I've been past it several times at night over the last month or so and it's in darkness every time. Surely Town Councillors (for I believe it is the responsibility of the Town Council) go past it at night - because it's dark at about 4.30pm now remember. How about the Town Clerk or one of the staff? Why does it always have to be members of the public that make the effort to report things like this?

Update: I went past last Friday (27th November) and the sign was lit up again. At long last!

Night Photography (Part 1)

Night photography has always been an interest of mine, it's fascinating how different the world can look once dusk falls. Here's a photo of the Gresham pub in Upper Mostyn Street, Llandudno that I took the other day:

End of the Pier Show

With the nights drawing in now, I popped up to the end of the Pier in Llandudno to take this shot of the illuminated Pierhead Pavilion:
