February 2012
I'm shocked; a brief afternoon visit to Kilve Beach in Somerset yielded 5 usable images - I normally
get one if I'm lucky! It's not an easy place to photograph, and I still haven't got a 'classic' Kilve image, but
getting there is half the fun!

January 2012
Went to Wales for a castles and beaches day trip. Wales has so many great Castles. I tried a conventional
shot, then used my Infrared Canon 5D MkII for a different approach. The Castle visits were a success; Castell Coch is straight out of a fairytale, and I managed to get a really moody sky behind Ogmore too. The beach was cold and raining and the sun just went into
hiding, so back to good old England I went

Too many grey days; we get enough of them in the summer! Then at last a cold snap came, the
sun shone and it was good
