Point of Ayr 

Point of Ayr is the northern most point of mainland Wales and whilst the kids where enjoying the entertainment in Presthaven it was a little rude not to go take a few shots of this beautiful disused lighthouse. 

I always get asked what settings did you use what F stops was that and what set up do you use so I though I would start adding it to my blog, Just remember I'm no professional and this is what works for me.

The Tide came in quicker then I expected so it was a quick jump of the blocks into the sea, get to very wet feet ( as I only had my trainers on ) and try to capture the waves coming in. However  as the wave wasn't crashing it was rolling in quick so I will have to go back and try this one again ( any excuse to go back )

Settings 
Same as above shot
