    Really enjoyed this event. Level wise it was judged right and taught principles in a very practical way which I found more helpful than traditional classroom learning. Learnt some useful tips and techniques that I will practise going forwards.

    Title or Location: Mumbles Head
    This was taken from the pier below the big wheel. There was a good sky with nice clouds and I always think black and white really enhances the scene. I liked the crescent formed by the waves coming across the bay through Middle Head. I took this with on a fuji x100f camera with a nd8 filter

    Title or Location: Rhossili, Gower
    I had spent a couple of hours in Rhossili and on my way back to the bus stop I noticed how good the sunset looked in the village itself. Strange how this sometimes happens. That I get the most interesting shots right before I leave for home. Some cars passed, but i knew the bus was approaching so made sure I caught it with the sundown behind.

    Title or Location: In Lynnwood by the parking lot of my apartment
    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON

    Title or Location: Pencils
    This picture was taken by a large window, three pencils (RGB coloured) were laid on white card which was curved up in the distance, but the curve cannot be discerned due to the very shallow depth of field and even light, giving the impression of infinity into the distance ...
