Caernarfon, Gwynedd, Wales
Alternative titles for this could have been... "the best-laid plans of mice and men"... "a funny thing happened on the way to the castle" or more in keeping with one of my own idiosyncrasies..."not a full spreadsheet!". The plan was simple... reccy the area Friday night, take some shots for the sunset/blue hour. Go for a meal and a few drinks and back to the Prem Inn - not forgetting to set the alarm for the following morning. Tick, tick, tick!
The alarm went off at 5am; clothes already laid out and gear packed; out of the hotel at 5:10am; Mrs R not disturbed... too much!. It's well less than 10mins to the castle so I thought I'd walk through the harbour to the castle wall, along the front past the Anglesey Arms and on to the castle itself and the footbridge to the other side.
Sunrise wasn't scheduled until 5:56am but had to clear the mountains first giving me plenty of time to setup, get a few first light/blue hour shots and then as the sun cleared the tops would hopefully kiss the castle walls with some beautiful golden light.
Only problem... footbridge left in the open position to let the early fishing boats out!
