Last night, I sat on the cliffs at Rhossili from 10:30pm until 1:30am. I set my camera up to take photos continuously and when I put them all together, this photo was created showing how the Earth rotates in relation to the stars. The star in the middle is Polaris, also known as the North Star.

Llangennith and Burry Holms from the path at Rhossili. This is one of the rare occasions that I used my 70-200mm lens. The fishing boat in the water was a perfect bonus too.

Last night, when most sensible people were in bed, I was standing in the sea for a couple of hours watching and photographing the bioluminescent plankton at Rhossili Bay!

Bioluminescent plankton is notoriously unpredictable and can appear at any time at any tide or not appear at all.

On the 23rd April, The Aurora Borealis was strong enough to be seen in south Wales. After taking photos on the cliffs, I went down to the Helvetia Wreck and took this photo. The aurora was still visible, but the clouds were rolling in quickly. This was taken at 00:20am. https://www.dansantillo.com/gallery/gower/?photo=DS_308930

Of course I didn't take just one photo on Sunday night :) After shooting the first photo, I ran to the top of the path so I could overlook Rhossili Bay. This is the Aurora Borealis over Rhossili Bay with the moon, taken just before midnight.

I ran another workshop at Rhossili earlier this week and whilst we weren't blessed with a sunset, we had a great time there. I chose a long shutter speed to smooth out the water as it started to encircle the Helvetia.

Last night, a dream came true - I saw and captured the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights) over Rhossili Bay. I've had this location in mind for years if the conditions were right. And last night it happened!

Yesterday, I ran a half day Landscape Photography Workshop at Rhossili Bay and we were blessed with a beautiful sunset overlooking the bay. After seeing porpoises/dolphins in Rhossili Bay itself, horses on the cliffs and gorgeous light at Fall Bay, this topped off a great 5 hours.

One of the most epic sunsets I've seen at Rhossili Bay on Gower in Wales!

I've wanted to take this photo for many, many years and the conditions were finally right earlier this year - sunset colours in the sky, white water in the long waves and glorious colour on the cliffs! This is, of course, the gorgeous Rhossili Bay at sunset.

Every year, heather covers Rhossili Down on Gower, Wales making it a fantastic place to watch sunset.
