| Pembrokshire/Bosherston - Wales
An exceptionally beautiful part of Pembrokeshire. If you look at a map of South
Wales, it kind of mimics the Gower in its geography, and so unsurprisingly in its Landscape as-well. Opting out of sleeping on the jeep, im staying in the very recommended St. Govans Inn. After resigning to arriving after sunset Im surprised that there's a little left of the winter light when I get there. A familiar mad rush to the coast to catch its splendor, sprinting through an awesome landscape like an idiot, backpack bouncing frantically, hardly noticing its beauty to make possible use of the fading light.
No use. Not a bad shot, but not good enough. Doesn't matter, I'm in heaven,
completely unfamiliar to me and a feeling of adventure for day ahead. This is Broad-haven Bay and its remoteness and scale of beauty is pulling at me in all directions as i return in to the dusk.
An early winter morning, RB215 still dark, having decided to make the natural 'stacks' my first visit further west down the coast, and immediately these godly towers emerge with dawn, and a riot of bird-life. The moon and a sliver of cloud were all that occupied the sky and came comfortably into my composition, to create a serene sense of balance that otherwise would have failed. An intentionally long exposure achieved by ND filters to silk out the ocean, enhancing the grace of these towers. A very flat hazy sky for winter, made only the very first and last moments of the day, usable.
217RB. This being the last, Id noticed this opportunity that same morning, and
could only imagine it in this light, but didn't expect to get it. I was out shooting the green bridge of Wales (very near here) and returned not happy with yet more flat haze, It seemed this was confined to the ocean, as I made my way back, the inland appeared to have its own weather, making a distinct divide with the coast, this contrast manifested in a ground mist as the evening drew in. Perfect. The chapel enhanced by the moody light that seemed to come from itself. |
