Dusk and tide at Conway

The story behind this video

The seaside town of Conway, on the North Wales coast, is a fantastic place for both still photography and video.

With its strategically placed castle, right by the side of the river Conwy, there's numerous ways to capture dramatic footage of the town.

My favourite time to visit for a bit of creative filming is around sunset, as the light on the castle changes from ambient daylight over to artificial flood and street lighting.

On the two nights that I shot the stills for this time lapse video sequence I was blessed with a dramatic sunset and a full moon high tide, which I made the most of by combining the two events into this one short film.
