Most people when visiting the seaside like to have lovely clear blue skies and a nice warm sun.
Not me! I'd rather have to wrap up warm and brave the elements in order to see dramatic weather unfolding.
Clouds, storms, rain - it all looks great in a timelapse video, and living in North Wales I'm rarely short of interesting weather to look at.
That's what happened here, as Liz and I were parked up on the West Shore at Llandudno, looking west over the Irish Sea as strom clouds and bands of rain roiled in the distance.
Every now and then the sun would appear like a searchlight through gaps in the clouds, sweeping the sea with dramatic bands of light.
It only took me half an hour to shoot the stills for this particular video. Just long enough to drink a hot cup of coffee standing in the freezing gale and then be on our way, overwhelmed by the splendour of what we'd just witnessed.
