Last light on the Brecon Beacons. Tomorrow I'll be in a more oriental abode...
sean crawford:
Cwm Sere, grasses, Cribyn, and the moon. My first little outing in the hills in weeks. It's good to get out. This will probably also my last walk in a while - Thailand gets my next few weeks (work, not much play)...
sean crawford:
Nice to get out after a few weeks hard work and see that summer's still with us... . I'm breathing after a great weekend of #brecontownopenstudios, thankful for those who came to visit, bought pictures and (all) my supply of 2018 calendars, and most impo

More brushed fun from a quick break this afternoon whilst getting ready for next week's #brecontownopenstudios (23 and 24 June see www.brecontownopenstudios.co.uk for more...). . I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the splashing and drawing of ink! . Just fo
sean crawford:
For the first time in many months I got my paints out. Or, well, inks, at least. Occasionally I put the camera aside, and splash (literally) paper. It's fun, fast, and a great way to just let go - and see how differently my landscapes come out. This littl

A little of what jolly stuff's going on in my garden right now
sean crawford:
Ach, the weather really has been dull for a couple of weeks. This evening the cloud finally has broken, the sky at last blue. Skylarks, sheep, soft green grass, and treating myself to this fabulous view.
sean crawford:
The light's been a bit flat whenever I've had a spare moment over the last week or two - not great for photo-making (oh and I've felt slightly lazy too!). The light has been dramatic and interesting when I have had spare time, of course. . So here's a bit

My pictures have spent a few days exhibited in the beautiful Black Mountains village of Llanbedr, where I've been a participant in Crickhowell Open Studios. . This is the gorgeous wooded valley in Llanbedr, taken during a break in stewarding. . Rather mor

A hurriedly snapped sunset this evening. What a long day. Twelve hours work in Bristol, followed by another six hours this evening preparing prints to go to Erwood Station Gallery tomorrow, and framing for my exhibition as part of Crickhowell Open Studios

Wild Welsh ponies, looking good. As they generally do...
sean crawford:
Over the years I have been diversifying the planting in my little garden in Brecon. This may not be the Brecon Beacons per second, but it's a weeny little bit of the landscape within... and I reckon this little corner at least is looking pretty good this
sean crawford:
Ah the Welsh weather's finally broken! These clear skies (from a couple of nights ago) are now grey, and rain has started falling this afternoon... . Wales had to return to type. And that's OK - weeks of fine weather have parched the hills. And anyway, m
sean crawford:
There has been little rain here in Wales for a long while. Yeah yeah, I know - Wales / rain and all that 😂 but this little favourite pool of mine is becoming little more than peaty slub... . I find it's often like this from March to about May, lovely
sean crawford:
Such lovely Spring light over the Black Mountains these evenings (hoping I'm not jinxing it!). How long can this great weather last?
sean crawford:
I've been preparing new prints this week for upcoming exhibitions as part of both #crickhowellopenstudios and #brecontownopenstudios. This is one of my favourites so far; it's the awesome Southerndown Beach on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. . Crickhowell

Kind of green - a quick revisit to Herefordshire Wildlife Trust's 'Lea and Paget's Wood'. A fresh tonic to drink in.

It's wild garlic season, at long last, though I didn't pick any today. Today came full circle. It's been a whole year's wait to celebrate Beltane which falls on 1 May: we went up high in low wet clouds to Arthur's Stone to see in the day very very early t

Currently having a bit of a stand off on a Brecon Beacons hillside with these punks. I do love these little Welsh ponies...

A moody Friday morning skyline at (almost) the end of a long week - and to be followed by a long weekend, just right to venture forth, #getoutside and #findyourepic ! . I'm thankful again to call this divine and changeable #breconbeaconsnationalpark skyli

There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. Well so said John Ruskin. And Mark Twain reckoned on counting, in Spring, 136 kinds of weather in a day. Yesterday would have pleased them both... . Moments after this delicious
sean crawford:
There are those rare moments when as I press the shutter on the camera, I know I will be happy with the result. This is one of those. . I am not even sure why, but this says everything I hoped to say, and just feels right for the day. Maybe it's the stabi

I'm pretty excited that prints of this image, alongside various others from my portfolio, are now for sale at the fabulous Erwood Station Gallery, at Erwood near Builth Wells here in Wales. The quality of work there is very impressive - I'm pretty proud t

One of those winter days when the Welsh countryside is carved into light and shadow; Wales at its very best. . It's not always this way though. Today for example is somewhat subfusc, flat feeling and without uplift. . I know he was talking about something
sean crawford:
A salutary lesson for the modern day digital landscape photographer. A bit techie this - and for that I apologise - but this #moonrise shot over the #BreconBeacons just redeems me for having shot for an hour with my camera mistakenly set to low quality jp

Thirty six hours - how a view can transform! The cool hues of this view on Monday evening (last post) were replaced this morning by a flood of golden light. Along with this great lightshow, serenity, solitude, and silence were features of my walk this m
