Wales landscapes arguably has some of the British Isles most inspiring vistas, amid striking coastline, mountain regions, vast upland areas and moorland, and ancient woodland. Wales possesses considerable, unspoilt out-of-the-way spaces untouched by contemporary infringement. For myself, I have a soft spot for the south west coast and the immense mountainous central region known as the Cambrian Mountains. The coastlines of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire holds a large choice of creative material ready to be captured. The coastal National Park of Pembrokeshire, the United Kingdoms single coastal national park, has some wonderful photographic chances. If one would like to take pictures of British geology, Ceibwr Bay and the short coastal path walk from there, to The Witches Cauldron is possibly one of the more observably remarkable geological features down the Pembrokeshire Coastline. By means of it's spectacular rock-folds and breakneck cliff top walk to eroded caves, gives an simple and motivating target for geological photographic artists. The less famous Preseli Hills, still inside the National Coastal Park, is also one more personal favourite, with a plethora of uncharted photographic opportunity. As far as mountains go, they are definitely not the most massive and are in a number of quarters, more formally recognized as hills. However, they are unquestionably striking, with a blend of dramatic smooth curves and angles, rough outcrops, and enigmatic vistas all across the three counties of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion; and on good days, all the way across to Ireland. Being overlooked by the holiday making hordes, the Preseli's have a lonely and inaccessible sense to them, and you can hike for hours and not see anyone else. Foel Cwmcerwyn, the tallest peak and an ancient, eroded volcano, gives plentiful opportunity for the landscape photographer to play with light. I favour the winter and late autumn light around this area to be the most dramatic. Still within the Preseli range, Carn Ingli is an attention-grabbing target for landscape photographic artists. Towering over Newport beach and with a iron age hill fort, Carningli's rough protruding outcrop is bordered to one side by a relatively soft heathland ascent, and toward the other side, a sheer, precipitous drop. I find this gives ample opportunity to experiment with light and shade multiplicity, as well as arrangement. There are many little-known cameratic opportunities throughout south west Wales, many of these places are completely off the beaten path and a joy for those landscape photographers like to workin broad open spaces.
