Caswell Bay is always worth a visit in the winter as the sun sets away from the headland out over the sea in a south west direction. With the current clear, crisp days the potential for great colours is increased, plus there always seems to be some low level cloud on the horizon to give some interest in the sky as the sun sets.
Caswell doesn’t have the distinctive landscape elements such as Three Cliffs Bay or Worm’s head, so it is often overlooked for one of the more populist landmarks. I like it partially as it always works for me as a go to bay when I have a few moments spare to either test equipment or just to get away from the office/computer/whatever, but also it doesn’t have?a distinctive landmark that allows?me to drop back into a familiar framing of the view and it therefore makes me think a bit more.

I’ve noticed recently that most of my images over this last year have tended to be in the portrait orientation, even my landscape work. It seems to be my instinctive framing option at the moment. It may be due to most commercial work I do needs the portrait format and now it is drifting into my own personal work as well. It seems to work well with the minimal landscape that I am producing at the moment, especially when presented in a triptych format . I’m sure it will all change again as a new creative view takes over.
