Summer Eve 🐧

With the wet weather recently, mizzle today and the grass is back to its vivid green again, that prolonged summer heatwave seems such a long time ago now. Plenty of images still to come from summer photoshoots, including some from our overnight Skomer trips when it all comes together with clear skies at sunset.

In this new series of posts, each day will be a selected location from my fotoVUE photography guidebook - Explore & Discover South Wales, today’s post: Newport Wetlands

Where industry meets wildlife. Newport wetlands is a real gem along the south east coast of Wales. It's quite a young reserve, having only opened by the RSPB in 2000 covering over a thousand acres; all predominately reed bed and freshwater lagoons, making it one of the best birding sites in Wales. A visit here at any time of year is a good day out and it's not just about the birds. There's many pathways to explore across the whole site, a lighthouse along the sea wall and also the nearby Gwent levels, which are home to number of interesting plants. The whole site is generally flat and offers good walking opportunities so a it's an easy going place and a good wildlife escape on the outskirts of the city.

Meandering through the Welsh countryside the isolated Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal is the most popular attraction in the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park and it's hard not to see why. It is one of our most beautiful and peaceful waterways following the line of the lovely wooded Usk Valley, a true hidden gem. The navigable section of the canal runs for 35 miles all the way from Brecon in the west to the Pontymoile basin in the south east. Its location makes it a haven for wildlife and a favourite with nature-lovers, walkers and cyclists
thanks to the flat and easy going tow path that hugs the canal. What is nowadays popularly referred to as the 'Mon & Brec' started life as two separate canals: the Brecknock & Abergavenny Canal and the Monmouthshire Canal. The 35-mile navigable section seen today is mostly the former. Though originally constructed to transport coal, lime and agricultural products the canal were used extensively by ironmasters as their main transport network, bringing the raw iron ore up the canal from Newport to Llanfoist Wharf and by tramroads to the iron works and returning with trams loaded with iron, the finished product. Remains of this heritage can still be viewed along the canal today these include
wharfs and lime kilns.

Today’s post: Newgale 🌊

Enormous! One of the words to describe this beach. This 2.5-mile wide beach of stunning golden flat sand is backed by a high pebble bank formed after a big storm in 1859. One of the main hotspots for visitors to Pembrokeshire, it can get very busy in the summertime. Thankfully, due to the sheer size of it there should be plenty of room for everyone to find a sandy spot. Anyone who’s visited the area before will undoubtedly remember Newgale for the breathtaking vista of St.Bride’s Bay as the main road plummets down towards Newgale village. There’s plenty of opportunities on the beach itself for images, variety offering colourful pebbles, sand formations and rock pools are bountiful. Also by joining onto the coast path that skirts around the north and southern ends of the beach you’ll gain height, where the views are even more spectacular.

King of the River 👑

Still plenty of images to go through from photoshoots over the summer. Here’s one from a visit to the lovely Teifi marshes, where, with some patience, you may spot a kingfisher or two - always lovely to see one up close in the wild, and watch them fishing.

The one and only Tenby Harbour ⛵️

Back to school for us all last week after the summer break, so I took advantage of the lovely weather for a sunrise mooch around Tenby harbour with the camera. A glorious morning with the tide coming in and the town waking up, good to be out with the camera again on a dawn shoot.

Today’s post, from my my fotoVUE photography guidebook - Explore & Discover South Wales is the lovely Ty Canol 🌳

A stone's throw from the Pentre Ifan Neolithic burial chamber, Ty Canol is a beautiful ancient woodland in the heart of Pembrokeshire. The 170 acre site is one of the few remaining ancient woodlands in Wales and crammed full of flora and fauna. The trees here are estimated to be over 800 years old, many of them are gnarly oaks, with the shapely boughs dripping with moss. It's also home to over 400 species of lichens which thrive in the moist and clean air conditions. There are large rocky areas and boulders strewn across the woodland floor, all carpeted in spongy moss creating vivid green landscape, below and above. Ponies roam through the clearings and bluebells flourish in springtime. A walk through Ty Canol is a walk back in time, a primeval scene that's not changed for millennia and it's very easy to lose track of time.

In this new series of posts, each day will be a selected location from my fotoVUE photography guidebook - Explore & Discover South Wales, today’s post: Rhossili & Worm's Head

It's a bit of a cliché to say but the first view you'll see of Rhossili beach will really take your breath away! Mainly getting over the vastness of it, there's no denying it is one huge beach! A three mile long beach on its own won't grab too much interest, so thankfully there's plenty of great locations around here to get your photographic juices flowing. Firstly you'll notice the small cottage halfway along the beach, this is called the Old Rectory and could make an interesting element to include to capture scale in your scenes. At low tide there's also parts remaining of an shipwreck. The Helvetia ran aground in 1887 bearing witness to the challenging sea conditions around the Gower. Backing onto the beach are the fabulous Rhossili Downs. 'Rhos' in Welsh means heath, so there's no denying the areas namesake. Swathes of lowland heath and home to a variety of birds and insects including the rare black bog ant. Plants are a mixture of brackens, heather and gorse which carpet this area, coming alive in the summer months with vivid greens, purples and yellows. From the top of Rhossili Down stands the Beacon (193 metres) the highest point on Gower peninsula giving unparalleled views across the sea to West Wales, Lundy Island and the north Devon coast.
