South Stack is set in a spectacular location a few miles to the north-west of Holyhead, it was completed in 1809.
An early morning shot with some nice clear conditions just before the inevitable rain started for the day, the oncoming rain meant plenty of moving clouds to use, a 2 minute exposure time streaking them right across the scene.

Chilled out evening at South Stack
A much needed few days away to Anglesey with plenty of photography involved has really stoked my fires again, it's been so sporadic these past 18 months, stop, start, stop again.... due to you know what...
I hadn't shot this location for years and decided to revisit as I was only staying about 30 minutes away, to be honest it felt great getting out by the sea again, which without doubt is my favourite form of photography (coastal) the trip yeilded some great results and some of the locations I was able to use the drone at have really brought that into it's own as well.
No drones allowed here so this was an amble down to a cliff edge to find a spot that myself and my bag were unlikely to tumble off.. thankfully that didn't happen and it was a great spot to watch the sunset while taking pictures and observing all the loud screaming seabirds coming and going from the cliffs.
South stack lighthouse on Anglesey, North Wales .. Taken just about an hour after sunset. A big thanks To Kris Williams for showing me around this...
Evening on Anglesey with Emma and H for the Milky Way which as you can see is stunning.....obviously it didn't turn cloudy an hour after this, not at all................
South Stack lighthouse at sunset.
Well it's not New Brighton.......but by the time I'd got the camera out of the car, walked a few metres down the steps the sun has done one...........then the mist rolled in........so this is as good as it got......At least New Brighton is 1h 45mins nearer!
