On my last trip to Wales two weeks ago, I was met with pretty dreary weather. Overcast skies, devoid of cloud definition, casting dull diffused light - together with rain made landscape photography difficult and a little uninspiring.

We first headed to "Carreg Cennen Castle." Leaving in the early hours, I hoped that when we arrived on location, there'd be even the slightest veil of mist hanging around the castle to give a magical - fantasy scene.

This of course wasn't the case - while a grey sky blotted out any warm sunlight.

Trying to use the flat light to my advantage, this composition features a tree in autumn colour - contrasting against the gloomy cliff and castle beyond.
