Last night I stayed at YHA Pwll Deri, a beautiful hostel on the south west coast of Wales.

Knowing I would be well away from any light pollution, I set my alarm for 1:30am with the hope of some dark, clear skies and a blanket of stars.. to my amazement thats exactly what I saw as I looked out the window.

I took a walk towards the sea armed with my D800 & 14mm 2.8, I let my eyes adjust and soon noticed the milky way was actually parralel with the horizon right behind the hostel. (I've only ever shot the MW when its in a more vertical position) this enabled me to shoot landscape and cover a wider scope of the MW and its dust lanes.

Camera info: D800 20 sec f2.8 iso-6400 14mm 3600K

Spring is finally here with the arrival of the bluebells! Such a magical place and great for capturing a nice woodland shot of my dog, Bailey!

Here's one I took a while ago and have only just got round to editing.

This is the world's largest species of owl, and by far my favourite

Surfaced at 5:45am to try and capture sunrise here, only to find clouds! But hung around long enough

I took an early morning trip to Bamburgh Castle this weekend to capture my 1st ever sunrise! I scoped out a good vantage point the day before and came
