Photographing the Elan Valley, Wales
Well I finally seem to be getting the landscape photography mojo back and getting out a bit more ! And what better way to encourage this than a trip to mid Wales to the Elan Valley. I have been thinking about photographing the Elan Valley for a good year but hadn't ever managed to get up there, many things have stopped me in the past, The Brecon Beacons being one of them which I had to go through in order to get to the Elan Valley and that alone was a huge obstacle as I could

Photographing Scotland - The Cairngorms
Part four of my Scottish adventure sees me visiting the Cairngorms National Park in the north east of Scotland. I had done a little research on the area and in truth it was going to be a "back up" area in case the weather didn't play ball around Glencoe & Skye which was the case on most days. The Cairngorms only recently gained national park status in 2003 and is the largest national park in the British isles, and there is another planned expansion of the boundaries for the f

Shooting Snowdonia - Landscape Photography Guide - Part 2
The familiar sound of the 5 am alarm call rang in my ears and I hurried to look out of the window after the weather forecast of snow last night, It was a big disappointment, there was none. Snow had been replaced by driving rain and gusty winds, I was not amused in the slightest. There was only one way to deal with a situation like this, console myself with a full english breakfast and go on a location scout again. Wednesdays weather was looking fowl and time was ticking away

Shooting Snowdonia - Landscape Photography Blog Part 1
Hello again everyone and sorry for the long absence. Since October I have been flat out at work and under huge amounts of pressure and getting out to do pictures has been a rare treat. Work deadlines have been hanging over me and the never ending workload has been brutal to say the least. I try to always have a blog ready for release every Friday but work simply wasn't giving me a chance to do so and any rare spare moments I got were spent rushing out with the camera to try a

So, This Happened......
Well, I thought i'd give the technical stuff a break this week and tell you what i've been up to and what i've got planned for the next few weeks. Sadly it's that time of year when shooting every day becomes a major problem. The light starts to fade before you finish work, and your already on your way to work when the sun rises. It's a very frustrating time when the only opportunity you will get to shoot is on the weekends, couple that with the fact that it will be glorious w

Photography - A guide to N.D. filters
I was asked the other day "what filter did you use for that picture", to which I replied a Lee 0.75 hard graduated filter. They looked blankly at me and somewhat confused, I asked them what was wrong, and their reply astounded me......."I've not seen that on Instagram, where do you get it from". To say I was horrified was an understatement, so I decided to explain what a filter actually is to a photographer and not a person of the Instagram generation. A Neutral Density Gradu

5 Tips To Improve Your Landscapes
Everyone needs a bit of help from time to time and sometimes just a little reminder goes a long way to improve your pictures so here's 5 tips to get your images looking better. 1.

Lucky Heather
After a couple of failed trips to get a shot of the gorgeous Heather on the heath i finally managed to get one ! i am really hoping for some nice misty mornings to shoot the heather if possible in the Autumn but this will do nicely for now.

Opium For The Soul
July saw the Opium poppies flower, every year there is a mad dash to find the new secret location at which they have been grown, this year however saw a pretty easy spot which was seen by MANY photographers ! I like to shoot on my own where possible but with these fields being so visible from the road that wasn't going to happen, however a very early morning midweek trip produced good results and saw a lot less people there fighting for a shot, all in all i was happy with the

July Heatwave In Poole
Its been a funny month, non stop heat with the promise of some storms but sadly they haven't come this way just yet. I've been bogged down with work and have struggled to get out really but i have managed a few trips here and there. Holes bay is my local 'go to' spot when it suddenly looks like it might do something and i managed to bag a few shots of the old wrecks that line the banks. #sunrise #danielwrethamphotography #photography #dorsetlandscapephotographer #poole #poole
