039: Landscape Photography at Llanddwyn Island, Anglesey

I headed out to Llanddwyn Island near Newborough on Anglesey for a landscape photography shoot, in time to avoid high tide, which meant a long wait for golden hour and sunset.

I was also intending to shoot a photo for the monthly Facebook Group challenge at Landscape Photography on YouTube UK:   / landscapephotographyonyoutubeuk  

This month's challenge is "landscape with a bench or seat". Llanddwyn Island is an iconic UK location and as it also happens to have a beautifully carved bench on the headland would hopefully be a good subject. You can see all the entries on this month's playlist at:    • May challenge - landscape with bench or seat  

After a very long wait for the perfect sunset light, at the very point of sunset a rain shower appeared in the opposite direction to the sunset. It was illuminated by the setting sun and augmented with a huge rainbow across the mountains on the mainland.

So, "We had 2 and a half hours of doing absoutely nothing and then ... 15 minutes of complete pandemonium!"


My budget equipment ...
Camera: Nikon D5500
Lenses: Nikkor 18 - 140mm, Tokina 11 - 16mm ATX Pro, Sigma 70 - 300mm.
Filmed on Hawkeye Firefly 8S, with external lavalier mic and DJI Spark drone.
