Back From Holiday And News!

Dan Santillo @ 1:26 pm

It’s been a while since my last post, but that’s because I’ve been away on a two week holiday to Snowdonia. Just before I went away, I went to a couple of the outlets that sell my stuff and was amazed at how well things have sold. It’s certainly been a very good year!

 

I can also say that Paula is pregnant again so Willow will have a brother or sister some time next year :-) Fortunately, the morning sickness isn’t so bad this time – last time, she couldn’t eat for 6 months!

 

We stayed in a cottage just outside of Llanrwst and about a minute’s fast walk was Grey Mare’s Tail Waterfall, so I naturally took a wander down there and spent an hour in (yes, in!) the river with a tripod. Things are very busy at the moment, so here’s a taster of the waterfall:

Night Photography

Tags: , — Dan Santillo @ 7:07 am

I was out in the Brecons last night in the pitch black taking photos working on a small commission. I can’t tell you why just yet, but I will do when I can :-) It’s always nice being out taking photos and this was no exception. I’m not sure of the results yet as I need to see them on the PC, but there’s potential…

I don’t have a links section on my site so thought I’d do a quick blog post to provide links to a couple of other sites.

 

Philip Veale Photography: One of the three photographers who regularly attend the Brecon Craft Fair.
Matt Botwood Photography: Another of the three photographers who regularly attend the Brecon Craft Fair (I’m the third one).

Check them out, there are some fantastic photos on those sites.

Exhibition @ Ostreme / 18-20th December 2009

Tags: , — Dan Santillo @ 2:44 pm

I’m pleased to announce that I shall be holding a Christmas Exhibition in the Ostreme Minor Hall in Mumbles on the 18th to 20th December. I shall be exhibiting many new photos from Gower and the Brecon Beacons taken between now and December. Come on weather, please be nice :-)

Exhibition Aftermath

The six days of my exhibition were amazing! I met and spoke to a lot of people – what stood out was the friendliness of the people in Mumbles and it was an absolute pleasure to speak to everyone. Thank you to everyone who bought things too. The bookmarks were the best seller at 36 sold and I also sold 11 framed photos and 7 mounted photos. The only disappointment about the exhibition was that I didn’t sell any of my canvases (except from the clearance box). I have enquired about have a 2 or 3 day exhibition before Christmas and another 6 day exhibition the same time next year so watch this space…

 

The calendars I have produced this year are selling very fast. The Saltash one has almost sold out so I will need to do another print run. The Gower and Brecon Beacons ones are also proving to be very popular. My next print run will be the last for this year, so please make sure you order in time. See here.

 

And finally, thank you to everyone who took the time to write comments in my guestbook at the exhibition. Here is a small selection:

  • “Scenes I never knew exisited on Gower”
  • “Super photos, very different!”
  • “Excellent, a joy to look around”
  • “Great exhibition, very detailed”
  • “Very talented photographer who shows our beautiful area at its best”
