Killing For Company

Ex Stereophonics drummer & the boys of Killing For Company @ The Kazbar. An awesome performance by an awesome band. The assembled crowd already warmed up by The Action Plan were really up for the gig & Killing For Company did not let them down.

The Action Plan, support Killing For Company

Battle of the band winners The Action Plan had the honor of supporting ex Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable & the boys of Killing For Company at the Kazbar. The guys really know how to work the crowd & the crowd really enjoyed the night thanks to The Action Plan.

Lost Carmarthenshire no3

Llangennech Park House has been left to rot away for around 60 years, slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding woodland. This hidden treasure was a seriously big mansion in it's day dwarfing everything in the surrounding , now sadly nearly totally forgotten by all including many who live in the surrounding new build homes.

Lost Carmarthenshire no2

During world war 2 many small, strange yet vital builings sprung up through the UK. These 'pill boxes' were part of the government's defence against the threat from German invasion. Many of these pillboxes still exist today. I like many others pass the one outside the coastal West Wales village of Ferryside but never give it another look, until today!

Night sun!

It maybe dark at 9pm on a December evening but with a 30 second exposure dark becomes light! The location is the old grave yard in Felinfoel, Llanelli.

Lost Carmarthenshire no1

These are first in a series of lost places in Carmarthenshire. Places & buildings that have been lost to time & long forgotten by most of us. Many sites we pass everyday but we never seem to stop and take a second look.

The first in the series is an old observation post St Ishmaels, Ferryside, built in 1940 to watch for the threat of Nazi invassion.

There are many other reminders of the war in this coastal area due to the close proximity to what used to be the ammunition factory at the now Pembrey Country Park.

The Action Plan!

After winning the battle of the bands in August The Action Plan came to collect part of the prize they won, a photo shoot with myself. Being a typical night on the streets of Llanelli it rained! Not being put off we carried on, did the biz & had a great time doing so. My mate Jeff Davies came along to lend a hand & to hold the lighting stand, cheers guys for a wicked night.

The calendar that never was to be!

I was commissioned by a local gym to do a calendar girls style calendar of the guys at the gym for charity. Unfortunately head office thought it didn't fit in with their image so it never got to print. Still we all had a blast doing the shoot, maybe next year?

& I was looking forward to the ladies edition!!!!

Barcelona

Yes it was that time of year again when Jay & I went off for a few days with no kids. This time it was to sunny Barcelona. While Jay had a quick nap at the apartment I headed off to the beach & snapped a few surfers doing what they do best.
We had a wonderful relaxing time soaking up the sun & seeing the sights.


No trip to Barcelona would be complete without a visit to the awesome dancing fountains.

Steve's close encounter

Out & about yet again on a dark night in Llanelli. This time messing about with off camera flash & a laser pen. Don't try this at home children!!!!-)

Ben

Out & about with my mate Ben showing him the in's & out's of off camera flash on a wet evening in Llanelli.

The Lights Are On But Nobody's Home!

Mucking about with painting with light at a remote farmhouse in Glynneath.

The image is made up of 5 separate images layered together in Photoshop.

By the canal

Still blasting away with my speedlight off camera. This time a little (approx 1 mile) closer to home by the canal in Neath. Jay is such a real pleasure to photograph, thanks darling xXx

Under the bridge

What better place to try out my new wireless flash kit on a sunny Sunday afternoon but under the local motorway bridge.

Battle of the Bands 2009

It may not have been on the scale of The Global Gathering or Escape into the Park but the energy from the bands was just as big! Llanelli's first official battle of the bands took place at The Metropolitan & the place really did rock! Gphotography sponsored a prize of a photoshoot to the winners. The Action Plan were the worthy winners & I'm looking forward to working with them in the near future. Why not check back & see the results here.
