We have just returned from a weekend trip to the Gower Peninsula which is just a short drive away from the Welsh city of Swansea. Our first destination upon arrival was Caswell Bay. As it is still off-peak season for visitors, we found parking relatively easy. I am glad that we made the stop as the late-afternoon sun cast a dramatic scene before us. Exposure was tricky given the strong light (look at the small aperture, fast shutter speed and low ISO I used) — the Panasonic G3’s electronic view finder and “live histogram” certainly helped in giving me accurate previews of the shots I was to take.

I attended secondary school in Singapore at a school steeped in rugby tradition and remember being introduced to the game during physical education classes. The scrum formation has always been an interesting part about rugby. I was rather amused when I caught these sheep grazing on a rubgy field in Bakewell during our visit to the Peak District last year.
