I’ve been away for a week in North Wales, living it up in a nice caravan in some beautiful woodland with wild rabbits and squirrels running freely.

Yesterday we visited Conwy Castle and below are some photographs.  I wanted to capture their dark and brooding presence and I think I achieved it.

Do you prefer the colour shot above to the photograph of Conwy Castle below?

A lot of you prefer the black and white version below and so do I.

I also visited Caernarfon Castle, but my shots of that castle aren’t as dramatic as those above, but it is a wonderful castle and well worth a visit.

If you like castles, you might want to take a look at my photographs of Lancaster Castle in Lancashire, UK by visiting my Lancaster Gallery.

A couple of weeks ago I asked you to help me make my new promotional video that would feature some of your favourite photographs and quotes about my Gothic and horror photography.

I also stated that Luke would choose an entry to win the digital version of the image chosen and the winner has been chosen.

Congratulations to Brandi Jackola of InsideoutCast!

Luke chose Brandi’s choice because the photograph of ‘Graveyard Light’ is one of his favourites.  He also liked Brandi’s choice of words and lastly, he enjoyed playing with the effects on this particular photograph for the video.

A big thank you to Tony Longworth for allowing me to use his haunting music titled ‘As Shadows Fall’ that makes this video so special.

Finally, a personal thank you goes out to all of the fans who sent me their feedback and choice of favourite photograph.  A lot of my fans are on Twitter and I encourage you to follow them and visit their personal websites, which I’ve listed below.

Blood Tree

I adore your picture “Blood Tree”. The form of the tree is reminiscent of a woman’s body, elegant but tortured and writhing in pain. It seems to be rearing up into the sky, reaching out with twisted limbs. If it had a sound it would be shrieking to the night sky and the moon above. It’s as if the tree is giving voice to the tortured souls of those condemned to the earth around it. The longer you look at it, the more you can sense from it.

Amazing work

This tree stands in a very old English country graveyard in a place called Heysham nr Morecambe, Lancashire.
