I managed to get out and stretch my legs in the mountains today. It’s been a while. It was pretty windy with some fast moving moody skies.
Back On The Hill
I managed to get out into the hills for the first time in a while yesterday. The legs were a little rusty but it was great weather to be out walking. I was briefly joined by three Apache Helicopters circling below the summit of Pen Y Fan. And there I was, thinking my job was cool.
Rain Stops Play
The title may give it away a bit, but last weekend I shot an awesome wedding that was more than just a little wet and windy! Almost right on cue, the predicted turn of bad weather arrived just as I was working with the bridal party. This wasn’t a little light rain either; this was pick up your dress, run …
Holy Sunrise Batman!
I thought I’d get one more run in the hills before our Three Peaks Challenge this coming Friday, and not wanting to bake myself too much in this heat, I aimed to hit the summit of Pen y Fan for sunrise. After a ridiculous wake up call, I was feeling pretty smug with myself. Feeling fit, having hit the summit …
A Flapjack Saved My Life
Ok, it might not have saved my life, but it certainly kept me going today. Following yet more heavy snow and freezing temperatures in the Brecon Beacons National Park over the last two days, it seemed like a good time for Scott and I to hit the hills and complete a 15 mile loop of the Pen Y Fan range. …
Frozen Star Jumps
So March 2013 is set to be one of the coldest in thirty years, and that forecast seemed spot on today over the peaks of the highest mountains in southern Britain. Steep climbs, freezing temperatures, and bands of heavy, driving snow. It was great! After a long haul up to the summit, walking into the wind and snow, the cloud …
Perfect Wedding Light
September turned out to be a pretty quiet month for me with two different commercial projects being pushed back. Luckily however, I was able to see the month out with a fantastic wedding which saw a perfectly timed break in the weather. These were great guys to work with, they were both super relaxed from beginning to end, and if …
Catching up with old friends
Today finds me freelancing for my friends at Genero (the guys I went to Switzerland with earlier in the year). I’m filming an awards ceremony as part of their live event crew at the SWALEC Stadium. The beauty of working in the media is the variety of work we get to do and today is no exception. Far from being …
From jelly and ice cream to knuckle sandwiches
Today has been a good day. We spent a great time with Paul & his family at Martha’s first birthday party – the weather was kind for one of the first times this summer! From there, I left to go to help film at the ‘Pain Pit’ MMA event at Newport Centre. Our friends at Red Slate Films cover cage …
A day of two halves
Today is certainly going to qualify as one of those diverse days in my life. At 1pm I’ll be having jelly & ice cream at the first birthday party of Mr PJN Photography’s youngest daughter. (Happy Birthday Martha!) Then a few short hours later I’m travelling to Newport Centre to help cover the ‘Pain Pit’ cage fighting event for our …
