Rest Bay, Porthcawl - Giant waves, an amazing sunset, and a f***ing parking fine...

A couple of weeks ago we went down Rest Bay, Porthcawl late in the evening just before the sun went down. We got down there at 19:30, just in time as the car park closed at 20:00, so it was completely empty with not another in sight. We went for a quick stroll along the coastline and I managed to grab a few cool shots of the MASSIVE waves crashing against the rocks, and the last few minutes of the awesome South Wales sunset. It was absolutely freezing, especially when we got soaked after getting a bit too close to the waves, and then as we were running back to the car we could see it... a f***ing parking ticket...

A couple of weeks ago we went for a trek to Pontneddfechan Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons. Not only was it the first time I'd been there since I was a kid, it was the first real chance I'd had to properly use my GorillaPod tripod, meaning I could try out some cool long exposure shots of the waterfalls.

Goodbye beloved Fuji X100. Hello, beloved Fuji X100S...

Goodbye beloved Fuji X100. Hello, beloved Fuji X100S...

Oh, beautiful, magical Fujifilm X100. You will always hold a special place in my heart. After much deliberation, I decided to upgrade from the awesome Fuji X100 to the slightly-even-more-awesome, just-as-magical Fuji X100S...
