The story behind this image

Bwa Gwyn (White Arch) is just one of many fascinating features to be explored and enjoyed on Anglesey's coastline, and if you want to visit it for yourself it's to be found just to the north of Rhoscolyn on Holy Island.

This is very much a postcard photo, taken mid afternoon on a bright sunny day while Liz and I were enjoying a stroll along the coastal path.

If it wasn't for the polarising filter I used, most of the beautiful colours in the rocks and sea would have been washed out, but as it was the image came out quite decently in terms of contrast and colour saturation.

This would never have worked with Velvia!
