I’d been in Cardigan yesterday afternoon, I’d watched the drizzle roll in and the day looked like ending in a washout. Checking the forecast I could see that it was only a thin band of rain that was slowly moving East so I decided to head up onto Carningli common and have a look at the heather before the flowers faded away with the hope that I’d get some nice light on the purple carpets up there. As the rain passed over there was beautiful light and I was spoilt for choice of images to make. It’s always been a favourite place to be and to shoot with the view down to Newport in one direction, Dinas Island in another and the Gwaun Valley and Preseli Hills inland. I’ve felt a bit creatively flat recently but with the low Autumn light replacing the brightness of Summer, I found myself seeing opportunities in every direction and being heartened to spend time in the landscape again.
These are all mostly variations on a theme but as it was hard to choose favourites, I decided just to dump a selection here. If you’re reading this, I’d love to know which image stands out to you.
