“This photo was taken this week while walking my dog, Archie.  The location is on a beach close to Swansea and Neath. On that particular day the beach was littered with driftwood of varying sizes.  I photographed this particular piece as it leads the eye perfectly across the bay to the headland and the lighthouse of The Mumbles. Also, I have photographed this area extensively over the past few years (especially during lockdown) and normally use my aging Fuji X Pro 1.

I love landscape photography and in particular the New Topographic movement. Black and White definitely does it for me, although a good photo is a good photo no matter what format.”
