Symonds Yat, Stars and Castles

A lovely weekend break with the family but also a chance to take photos of new places.

It's been over 30 years since I've been to Symonds Yat but I always remembered the river and the gorge itself but forgot about the beautiful views from Symonds Yat Rock.  A truly lovely part of the world!!

We stayed in the Forest of Dean which and were very lucky to have clear nights and as there is very light pollution, the stars we could see were fantastic. Solid tripod, 16mm lens @ f2.8, iso around 1000 and shutter speed around 7 seconds gave some lovely night time shots:

On the way home we popped in to Raglan Castle, one of my favourite Welsh castles and as we were the only visitors there for most of our time, we pretty much had it to ourselves!!

All photos are available as prints, canvas or framed images - contact us to find out more details.

Windsor Weekender

A fantastic time over the weekend taking the family to Windsor Castle and a great opportunity to snap away at the castle!

Unfortunately, there were signs everywhere saying "no photos" inside the castle and the wardens were red hot on those trying to take sneaky shots (me included) so no pics of the ornate rooms, chapels, etc. :(

That said, there were plenty of shots to take outside and luckily the weather was nice.

All shots were taken with a Canon 5Dmk2 and Canon L-Series 16-35 lens.
Most of the time, the settings were:
ISO-400
1/125s - 1/600s (depending on lighting conditions)
f7.1

A great place a one I'd recommend to take the kids as well as snap away!!

Photographs are available as prints, framed and canvas images in a variety of sizes.

Global shipping available. Great to decorate homes, offices or to give as a gift.
