So finally seem to have got a bit of luck with this commission shooting Cadair Idris. The weather gods decided to give me a break in the cloud for a few hours and I made the most of it. According to the locals its pronounced Cader!!! I need to learn some welsh.

Video from a recent trip to Ogwen Valley / Nant Ffrancon to start a book project on North Wales that I've had in mind for a while. Don't want to give to much away yet, but should be a really nice project.
I got two out of the three shots I wanted that day, the rain interrupted the third. All of them involved some pretty awkward shooting positions but this one was the trickiest, requiring balancing the tripod, and myself, between three rocks.
Definitely going to be a fun project .
What you don't quite get in this video is that I'm perched on a couple of rocks on the sides of the river flow, feet are totallysubmerged in cold Welsh river water! The middle is knee deep! totally buying some of the longer socks. Question is normal black ones or the olive and grey ones they make for the tweed brigade!?
Well I've had this commission to shoot of Cadair Idris for the last month and annoyingly most of that time its been cloudy and wet! I went today with Sherpa Paul (!!) with high hopes and… well… see below!
