Lighthouses, Piers & Bridges – Low-Light & Long Exposure Photography on Anglesey
The only thing better than low light and long exposure photography is a day spent photographing lighthouses, piers and bridges on the historic island of Anglesey. Join us for this captivating Welshot photography workshop, ideal for embracing the magic of a mid-winter day. Beginning at Penmon, we’ll witness the sunrise over the Great Orme, casting its glow over Llandudno, North Wales. Discover the art of long exposure photography, mastering various shutter speeds to capture the mesmerising ‘Milky / Blurry’ effect on the sea. This day promises a diverse range of subjects and genres, from sweeping seascapes to intricate landscapes, and from architectural marvels to capturing the details of macro and close-up photography.
Our journey will take us from the historic Telford’s Menai Bridge to the impressive Britannia Bridge, both of which connect the island of Anglesey to mainland North Wales. These photogenic bridges will provide endless opportunities for capturing their engineering beauty. We’ll start at Coed Cyrnol Car Park and stroll along the Belgium Promenade, with our first stop at Llandysilio Island (also known as Church Island). Here, you’ll capture the Britannia Bridge in its full splendour, framed by the surrounding landscape.
Next, we’ll head towards Telford’s Menai Bridge. You’ll have the chance to photograph this awe-inspiring structure from multiple vantage points, both from underneath and from above, as we walk along its historic path. We’ll make our way onto and across the bridge itself, allowing for unique angles that showcase its remarkable design and the views of the Menai Strait. If time allows, we’ll take a short drive to a nearby lookout layby along the A55 near the Britannia Bridge. From this vantage point, you’ll be able to capture both the Britannia and Menai Bridges in all their glory, with the sunset creating an atmospheric backdrop. As the day transitions into the blue hour, you’ll have the opportunity to capture stunning images of these monumental structures as the light fades.
This is more than just a photography day, it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the historical, architectural, and natural wonders of this coastal region. By the time we wrap up the day, you’ll leave not only with a collection of stunning images but with a deep sense of satisfaction from a day well-spent exploring lighthouses, piers, and bridges.
