Pen Y Fan

This month we had one good day of unexpected sunshine. Living so near to the Brecon Beacons is such a wonderful thing, takes such little planning and time to go and see some of the most beautiful scenery the earth has to offer. So at any opportunity I like to take advantage of my surroundings! 

Here's some quick pictures from the walk. 

This was also an opportunity for us to take the new Go Pro out for a proper testing, we mounted it onto a AR. Drone to get some ariel shots of Pen Y Fan. Here it is looking frighteningly intimidating in front of some mountains. 

Here's a cow. 

Check out a little video we made from our trip!

Need a little more practice with the AR. Drone but the Go Pro is SO much fun, and cant wait to take it out to capture some more footage!

2013.04

Right, so with all my uni work and general life, Ffoto of the Week is becoming a bit sporadic. I'm sorry, alright! But that just means I will try even harder to get even better and more interesting images for you all.

Ahn Jun has an amazing series of self portraits to take your breath away. I'm not sure whether she has a thrill for heights, or what, but the views that she offers in most of her self portraits are remarkable. She's got guts, I'll give her that.

What strikes me with her images though, is that they are not your usual self portraits. They offer, like I said, an amazing view - she just happens to be standing right in there. This on paper doesn't sound amazing, but her presence in the images give a reality of being there in the moment. Giving the viewer a realisation of danger, or vertigo. She is putting herself in the situation. And in some of the images, offering a new perspective of the landscapes.

What can I say? I absolutely love her work. Wish I had the nerve to do something like this.

She has loads more on her website that you can check out. http://ahnjun.com/home.html

Remember, Remember..

Short and sweet for you folks today.

This is often my favourite time of year, other than the clocks going back, halloween and bonfire night are such fun occasions for me; an excuse to dress up without people thinking you're crazy, and to be a pyromaniac, without people thinking you're crazy. Woo!

Here's a little snippet from my firespotting last night.
Think I'll call it, Palmtree in the sky. Haha.

This is actually a part of an ongoing project that I'm doing at the moment. I can reveal more soon - so if you do like, keep your eyes pealed!

Swn Fest 2012

Had an amazing time running around filming/photographing the goings on of the City this weekend. All the video footage is for the We Are Cardiff Film, which you'll have to wait for, I'm afraid. Something quite different for me, not usually one to photograph bands, but it was great to see great live acts and have a good time while working too.

Anyway, here's a little sneak peak of the day...

Autumn beauty

A gorgeous Autumns day cannot be passed without making the most of the warm sunshine against your cold skin. Went for a walk around Cosmeston Park, enjoying the clean air and muddy paths through the woods. Here's a couple of images to get you in the Autumn-y mood! 

(Apologies for low res images, the photographer forgot her camera, it seemed. Doh.)

Gelynis Farm

Discovering and exploring a little corner of Cardiff previously unknown, Gelynis Farm. In the heart of Radyr this little area of bliss lets you escape the bustle of the city and relax in its surroundings.

Kayed

A tour around the outskirts of the city with the beautiful Kayed. Finding new and different places that people of the city might not even recognise, or even knew existed. And the sun always helps to shine a new light on a place..
