This was most definitely not the time of year to be casually wandering across the beach for a swim. Minor issues like single figure water temperatures and an impending storm didn’t stop these two hardy ladies however!

Intimate moments
Couple photoshoot in Chester
This is a bit of an outtake from a photoshoot I did with a great couple in Chester. This was way off our shortlist for the session, but strangely, it’s one if my favourites. I think this is because, despite all the fun we had doing the shoot, this was a genuine moment of intimacy between the couple.

Ruthin’s Stone Circle
The Vale of Clwyd's Stonehenge
It was quite a surprise to find a perfect stone circle, standing tucked away in a field near the centre of Ruthin. I have a feeling it’s probably a little of a modern folly, but none the less photogenic for it. Ah, a little research tells me they have only been there since the 1973 Eisteddfod festival, and are known as the Gorsedd Stones of Ruthin (Meini’r Orsedd).

Jubilee Tower 200
Moel Famau summit fireworks
It’s not often you get live drumming, lazer lightshows, multimedia art and fireworks on top of your local 1000 foot hill. The Moel Famau Jubilee Tower 200th anniversary celebrations where a huge success. It was wonderful to see thousands of people braving a evening cold on top of the hill to watch the Jubilee Tower 200 lightshow and fireworks. The last of the big images shows the lantern procession off the hill.
After many requests this week, I am making prints of any of the above images available for purchase as fine-art photographic C-Prints. C-Prints are very high-quality professional prints, printed with archival quality inks on archival paper (like you see in museums and galleries). Call David on 07786 858365 or email info@davidwhitestudio.co.uk for more information on sizing, framing and cost options.

Llanberis
An Ambleside for North Wales?
Growing up in North Wales, I never understood why Llanberis, the once drearily grey ghost town at the foot of Snowdon, was not reinventing itself from its long gone quarrying roots into a vibrant hub of outdoor-tourism, sporting pretty shops, great places to eat and loads of accommodation to catch the mass of traffic that passed though Snowdonia every weekend. These days, and thankfully, the town is living up to that potential. It’s partly testament to the local businesses there, who have stood fast for years knowing that one day Llanberis would be the logical centre for outdoor-activity tourism in the national park. I hardly recognise the colourfully painted town cowering under Snowdon from my days growing up in Wales. Here’s hope it continues to surprise.

Moody Snowdonia
From Penycloddiau
I am still struggling a bit with the fact this view of the snowdonia hills is now just up the road from the house. It feels it should still involve some hard work to earn a view like this over the hills, but the reality is I can pop out with a point-and-shoot camera and snap shots of views like this while walking the dog. Doesn’t feel real yet, living in the middle of all of this.

Reflection
Aouille de Criou from Lac Dames
This fun image was taken on a recent trip to Samoëns in the French Alps. The camera was turned upsidedown to make the reflection appear the right way up, if that makes sense.

Cycling photoshoot
On-assignment cycling photography
I just finished a really exciting set of photoshoots all over the North West of England, for cycling charity Cycling Projects. The brief was to use photography to showcase the diverse range of events Cycling Projects organize. The results of the photoshoots are great fun, providing Cycling Projects with a stock library of photography to promote the charity, and help raise awareness of cycling for all. You can see more images from this series of cycling photoshoots in my cycling gallery.

Just a squirral
Eastham Country Park
This cute but rather average looking subject matter is really only included here for geeky reasons. I just got a new pro lens, and I am really enjoying the well formed out-of-focus areas of shots like these. Really good lenses have a very circular pattern to the out-of-focus area, and it really makes for a calm background to pictures.
