Snowdon Ice, The Snowdon Horseshoe, Snowdonia National Park, North Wales

This was an excellent morning for photography - a great sunrise and continuing good light led to a series of successful images. The snow covered water makes for a strong foreground but it is the mountains that dominate with Snowdon as the centrepiece.

Y Lliwedd on the left and Crib Goch complete the horseshoe. Llanberis and the lower slopes of the Glyders to the right. On such a good day Snowdon would be busy with walkers but on this mountain I was able to work and enjoy total solitude.

Llyn Ogwen, Y Garn and the Devil's Kitchen, Snowdonia National Park, North Wales

This was a great day in the mountains. After a dawn shot of Tryfan from the lower slopes of the Carneddau, a walk down to the frozen shores of Llyn Ogwen for this classic view of Y Garn and the Devil's Kitchen.

The cold, the stillness, the partly frozen lake and the hint of high cirrus combine to create this stunning image. Not long after this shot two low flying jets destroyed the peace - it was time to leave. Front cover of 2006 Calendar.

Tryfan and the Ogwen Valley, Snowdonia National Park, North Wales

This mountain dominates the Ogwen valley north of Capel Curig and is a favourite for climbers and scramblers as it contains many routes for all abilities - Everest expeditions have been known to practice here.

The clear dawn light highlights the outlines of Glyder Fach, Tryfan, Devil's Kitchen and Y Garn and Pen yr Ole Wen to the right. llyn Ogwen, location for the previous photograph, can be seen, still in the shadow of Y Garn, in the centre.

Pen y Fan and Corn Du, Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales

At 886 metres, Pen y Fan is the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons. After a cold and early start I had reached the summit of Cribyn for sunrise, but disappointingly a cloud bank prevented this. Fortunately, for it was bitingly cold, the cloud slowly moved to allow the early morning sun to reveal this terrific view of the north east face of Pen y Fan.

The real advantage of early starts is the quality of the light around dawn. An added bonus is that for the few hours I was on the mountain I saw nobody - I could feast in isolation.

Frozen Pond, Fan y Big, Cribyn and Pen y Fan, Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales

Heavy overnight snow prevented me getting close to the mountains, my camper van is not good in ice and snow! Earlier research had shown the potential of this location so once again I was up for sunrise. The slanting dawn light emphasises the texture of the snow covered pond and highlights the peaks of Fan y Big, Cribyn and Pen y Fan beyond. A good example of the importance of fully researching your locations so you can be at the right viewpoint at the right time.

Evening Glow, Black Mountain, Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales

After snowfall all afternoon I thought that was it for the day. Minutes before sunset however, the sky cleared a little and allowed the last rays of sunlight to cast this wonderful glow over the snow covered Black Mountain. Luck? The more often you are out there the more lucky you become.

Rhossili, The Gower, South Wales

The Gower possesses some very fine stretches of coastline - it just doesn't get much better than this. I had been trying for several years to capture a successful image of Rhossili but never quite managed it. On this occasion there were seriously heavy rainstorms all afternoon which drove everybody home except me on the cliffs and a lone fisherman on the beach.

Our persistence was rewarded just before sunset as the clouds opened and the sun cast this terrific light over the panorama in front of us. The solitary farmhouse and stormy seas complete a pretty impressive scene. Front cover of 2008 calendar (now on sale - see calendar page)

Three Cliff Bay, The Gower, South Wales

Named for the distinctively shaped cliff on the left side. Another great beach on the Gower, a little less well known than Rhossili but well worth the visit. This was another day of sunshine and heavy showers, always promising for photographers.

It doesn't matter how early you set out, beaches always seem to attract early morning walkers, however on this occasion the rain had discouraged them and I was able to work on my own without footprints or people in view. Minutes before this shot there was a downpour, the towering thunder cloud can be seen to the right, and the heavy rain has beautifully textured the sand in the foreground - worth staying out in the rain sometimes!

Marloes Beach, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, S.W. Wales

Britain is blessed with endless miles of terrific coastline and Pembrokeshire certainly has its own share. Marloes just has to be one of the finest on offer with towering cliffs, caves, sea stacks, islands, rockpools and a fantastic beach (well at low tide anyway!) - there`s always something to photograph here. In this image the combination of a great sunset, well placed clouds and rock silhouettes come together well to give a very pleasing overall balance.
